Default On The Lighter Side

Today is my last day off till next year. (boo, hoo)

I took the '03 Pace car in to the dealership. To see what they say about the coolant leak I've seen on the floor.

They said on the phone on wednesday they suspect something like the water pump versus the intake gasket. So guess what they find after doing a pressure test today?

YEP! The intake gasket.
(this repair should be a recall from all the engines that seemed to have needed this repair)

Besides that, they tell me the inside seal of the driver side axil is leaking.

Total for repairs................. $950.

The blunt of the repair bill is the cost of them doing the intake gasket. About $460.





ATTENTION! ATTENTION!
New web based business. Send me $1 (one dollar) and I'll send you this neat card saying you & I are friends. That's right. You can now claim me (RJ) as one of your buds. Your Homie. Along with this greeting card, you'll also receive a 2x3 card for your wallet of my face. Now just how cool is that?


When your lame friends are telling you junk like "Oh, I know so-n-so."
You can pull out your wallet and show them your very own RJ business card stating we're friends.

So don't delay. Send for your RJ Friendship Packet today.


Disclamer: after 950 people have responded the RJ Friendship Club will be dismattled.

Change the intake gasket?

Are you sure you don't have to:
Remove the engine from the car.
Tear down the transmission.
Remove all moving parts from the car.
Remove the complete wiring harness.
Now, start the intake removal process.



Well, I called Chevy today. I told them about the intake and the cost of the repair.

I am not holding my breath on this but.................... Chevy called me back at 5:00pm. They told me they were going to see about covering the repair cost. That someone would be in contact with me early next week. So time will tell what happens here?
