so your cd player wouldn't accept cd's either huh? so after they did what they did it was all good? Did they fix it right then and there or did you have to leave it with them for a day?


This 60 second flood control ish is irritating.......it may not be 60 seconds but it sure feels like it

I'm trying to be optimistic so hopefully mine will be good to go after my appt on Friday too, I have so many cd's I wanna listen to in the Monte, can't wait to see what they sound like on the system, which sounds pretty good for factory.

Thanks for the yahoo info, I'll add you to my buddy list.

I'm rkf76 on yahoo, do the same

hey sorry i missed this post. i would have to agree with tvw on the sealer tabs. they are added to the cooling system from the factory and also there is a service recall where the mechanic like myself will go in and replace the throttle body nuts and added sealer tabs. i do not know if your vehicle has had this recall but if you did then that is why the brown crap is there. the last time that i used the tsb on this problem they would want the tech to clean the overflow thuroughly and clean the cap. i do not like the dexcrap i mean cool coolant but thats what they run in there vehicles. dexcool is ok, ive seen more leaks with it. if it gets low i dont know if the coolant breaks down terribly or what from excessive heat but it turns sludge brown and i see this mostly on blazers at least 5 years old. so hopefully they will do something withit like discontinue it. transmission, if you got warranty, take it in.

I noticed the tranny issue on my car too

When you are slowing down for a stoplight and then the light turns green before you come to a complete stop, but are under say 10-15mph, once you press on the gas, the shift is kinda rough. Sound about right GTown? I go on vacation in a couple weeks so I'll take it in then and let em do what they gotta do. Car is still under warranty. Hopefully they replace the damn thing, or at least isolate the cause of the problem and fix it. I don't want this to be a long drawn out process.

that depends if it is amatter of flushing a system and changing the fluids then no it would be well worth not having the leacks and the related issues with this crap.
they have already found out that it is eatting the hoses from the inside out on some cars this alone is not a good thing I can tell ya right now those heater hoses dont look fun to have to figure out how to replace on the side of a road
