Default Issues with the 2006 Monte Carlo SS

I bought a 2006 monte carlo ss recently and have discovered a few things that need replaced. It just rolled over to 26,000 and already needs a water pump and the intermediate steering shaft is also going bad. I was just curious if anyone else has had some issues and or other issues. Any advice would be awesome. Thanks

There is a quick fix for the intermediate steering shaft problem. All it needs is grease. There was a thread floating around on how to do it. It actually came from the Impala forum.

Welcome to the Forum...I have a 2007 with 28,000 miles on it (when I bought it) and haven't had any major problems (knock on wood). The only issue to straighten out was the Tire Pressure Monitoring System, which flashed a "check" code right after I got the car. I had three of the monitors replaced and am waiting for the fourth to go. Luckily the warranty covered the work. I'm so sorry to hear you're having trouble - but you're sure to find lots of friendly help here at the MCForum. Post pictures when you can.

Thanks - I know about the hovering, but how do I post larger pictures within my posts without making it a thumbnail? So many of the other posters here have their avatar and signature and then a larger pic in their posts. Sometimes the larger pic relates to the post and others look like part of their signature.

I got the door sills custom painted at a body shop here in St. Louis. It was worth the money cuz I'm terrible at painting!

I have found that resizing the picture using photobucket to a more managable size helps with the copy/paste method.
