Good morning everyone!

Don't worry all the brief warm up is on it's way!

But with it comes, the rain!

WOW! So was someone doing high speed, hard brakes and burning a flat spot??? That's the only way on modern tires I've heard of tires flat spotting. Either that, or they are REALLY old tires.

I'm sure you just told them you just bought it barely a week ago...
and they wanna charge you while its under warranty? Daaaa
I second David's comments!!! Dang, that's just not cool. Hope you get an acceptable resolution to this Tad!

Hey Everyone! Happy Friday.

The transmission in my Monte went out yesterday...band on Overdrive broke. So it's in the shop getting a complete rebuild. Should be done by next Wednesday they say. Mileage on the original trans came in at 200,785.

Afternoon everyone, got a light dusting of snow in our area today, but on the positive the temps are warmer so a bit of good with the bad.

Mamonte, sorry to hear about your tranny

Tad sorry to hear about your tires, the dealer/shop should put new ones on for you considering it hasn't even been a week yet and I know in our area part of the safety test on a vehicle is that they have to drive it down the road, so you would think they would have caught that prior to selling to you

Chibi Glad to hear you are feeling better just in time for the weekend

Shaheens came through for me. They are reimbursing me the cost of the battery (ya the old one died during the -17* cold snap we had)
and they are going half of the cost on the two tires, as tires are not covered by the extended warranty, so I am getting them for half of their cost.

DUDE!! That stinks!!! Granted, there is NO shame in the mileage on that trans. That is a LOT of miles. Hopefully the shop will have that trans completely rebuilt fast and easy. Any thoughts to new half shafts or wheel bearings while all this is apart??

I think this calls for "Winning"! Glad to hear you're getting a fair resolution to this situation.
