Mine was repaired at the dealership with sealant a couple years ago. I am not digging up the old thread I posted to before. Mine hasn't started leaking again yet. I would definitely be interested in a class action lawsuit though in the event it does.
The paint on my truck is consistently thin. Damned thing scratches very easily. I have no way to measure the thickness. No fading on mine though. Mine is shadow gray, love the color, but hate how easily it scratches.
That sucks, but could have been a lot worse. Couple months back had a box truck hit my driver side mirror, was lucky to only have damage to the mirror.
Definitely need to inspect the area around the belt to find out how it got cut. Not likely covered under warranty, unless there was some other issue that caused it. If the water pump pulley bearings froze up, it would cause a belt to rip. In that case, if you are still under bumper to bumper it should be covered.
Goodyear's suck. Lucky you got that many miles out of them. I took the factory Michelin's off of mine at about 12,000 miles, they slipped too easy especially on wet grass. Went with pirelli scorpion at's special ordered from Sam's. Been pretty impressed with them so far. I was going to go with a nexen tire, but couldn't get the ones I wanted in my tire size.
It was the myChevy online account that was causing that issue for me. I do not subscribe to OnStar at all, never have. I had the message coming up and had to reset the password online at the mychevy site associated with my account. Once I reset that password, entered it in the truck and all was good.
The gain is in use when you use the manual slide switch on the controller, that is how you adjust and set it. You have to adjust the gain up until you get the brakes to where they will stop your truck without pressing the brakes. Find a good straight road that you can roll about 25 mph and adjust the gain using your switch.
