Hi Everyone!

 

Just joined here and I have a question. I have a 2008 Yukon Denali XL that I purchased used about 2 weeks ago and is just outside of the 3 yr, 36,000 mile warranty. The other day the driver's side door handle broke away from the door. I thought I heard about a TSB or something regarding this issue. Has anyone else heard of this problem or has anyone else had this issue? Would this still be covered even though the warranty has expired? If there is a TSB on it, could someone tell me where I can find a copy to bring to the dealership? It only has 28,400 miles on it, but was put into service in Nov of 07. Thanks in advance for any help you can give!!!

Even if there is a TSB, if your out of the warranty period they do not have to cover it. Will they? Maybe, personally I wouldnt expect them to. Maybe if you call gm customer assistance you may get them to cover some of it.

 

My parents had a 2000 Blazer that was 1 month (had like 23K miles) out of warranty and had the 4wd encoder motor go out. Part was like $500 plus labor. Best they go was gm covered half of the bill.

 

Before taking it in you should call the dealer and see what they will do for you before taking it in. Otherwise you could look online and find a replacement fairly reasonable.

tsb does NOT equal recall

 

you bought a vehicle that you know was not covered under a warranty and I'm pretty sure you refused an extended warranty at the time of purchase, that was a gamble you took - just fix it and hope that any other repair costs don't add up to the cost of the extended warranty or you lost the gamble.

Call them and get what you can, some help is better than none.

 

That said, I personally wouldnt be disappointed if they did nothing.

 

I wouldn't kick yourself on not having an ex warrantanty either. They are profit for whoever sells them. THey don't do it out of the goodness of their hea.rt. Sure one truck you might come out better on a warranty, but over your lifetime you probably won't. Unless you are just some real unlucky dude!

It's really only about a $40 part and an hour of your time.

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
