Are they seriously going to do something you think?

 

That would be sweet if they did. Right now they are prob going to be trying to make every sustomer happy they can. Good luck.

 

They want to fix it and charge you or try and sell you a new one.

 

Probably, but should I bother having them look at it? I mean any justice to the system?

If not I should drive it through the showroom window.

Nah I can't hurt my baby, not her fault GM can't make cab corners last!

 

Even if I could get some money off the final price, I would be happy tho. Like get an estimate by MY body man, then say "Do it for less than this and you have a deal." But they will probabaly laugh.


F.Y.I. I already have an email from them about soem promotional offer, pft! Um NO!

 

Its worth a shot hell they might eveb have some recall work or something when I went in they filled all my fluids (exept gas damn them) and did some recall work. I would go just to see whats up. If they dont make you happy wright them another letter.

 

yeah mna, it dont hurt to go take it in and see what they say, you might actually do yourself some good, if not you will never know what coulda happened.....

 

I DOUBT THEY'LL DO ANYTHING WITH A 9 YEAR OLD TRUCK

 

I hope you guys are right. I mean I did bring up a good point. I lived in the snow belt with my 91 GMC and drove it everyday no matter what the conditions. They used salt on the main roads like it was going out of style. And that was after it sat for three years in the muddy backyard of my uncle's place. AND I used to 4 wheel with it! After all that, it only had blisters on the cab corners which took forever to spread. I went from a quarter sized blister, to four quarter sized blisters and a 1 inch hole in 1 year?!? I baby the damn thing compared to my last truck!

Anyways, I told them this and they replied. I'll give it a shot I guess.

 

Argon: See thats what I was thinking, but you have to admit it sucks. I mean there are two other guys I work with who have GM trucks, one a 99 Sierra, the other a 2000 Silverado, and they don't have to deal with this sh*t. Have you seen any rotting out yet?
