Repairs

2006 Chevy 1500.

78,000 miles.

Had to work on it today for the first time.
Drivers side front turn signal bulb failed.

5 minutes to replace.

If this thing keeps giving me trouble like this, I am gonna have to trade it for something else that is not always having something wrong with it.

It should last longer than that before having to work on it.

That's it.....so, since 1990, other than routine maint., my trucks have cost me nothing. THAT is why I drive GM trucks.

Toyota guys must get under your skin...

Nah...Jeff couldn't stop praising Toyotas when we (well...he) did our servos.

---------------------------------

Here is my list from different people in the family:

2005 Buick Rainier V8 - Grandma's current vehicle

~30K miles a weld broke associated with the A/C system - Warranty
~33K miles front diff started leaking - Warranty
~35K miles front diff leaking again, diff was rebuilt with higher quality parts...common problem from what I hear - Warranty

----------

2001 Ford Escape 3.0 - Mom's ride

~90K miles rough idle in the cold...replaced IAC valve $50.00
~100K miles rough idle present at all times. Replaced lower intake manifold gaskets - $8.00

Other than that, nothing but routine maintenance.

----------

1996 Ford Explorer 4.0 - Grandma's old ride

In a word...bulletproof...but gutless.

Other than routine maintenance, it needed the IAC cleaned and a thermostat. That is one Ford I would have no problem driving (again).

----------

2006 Silverado - MINE!

~24K miles:
- Three intermediate shafts
- Door seal replaced
- Body mount bushings installed for creaking
- Leak inside cab because moonroof drain hole not proper size (I will drill out)

So far cost me nothing (other than routine maintenance) and extremely happy with the truck.

2004 F150 4.6L 2wd.
90,000 mi - Replaced driver side window switches. $64 and 2 minutes to fix.
112,000 mi (went in today) - New transmission. $2400 OTD w/ 3yr/100,00mi warranty. My original transmission still works in all gears except 4th (O/D) but I couldn't find any shops willing to open up the tranny @ 112,000 miles and replace the O/D snap ring.

Well, my truck is done! I am about to head out and go pick it up from the dealership. 3 years/100,000 mile coast to coast warranty through .
