It's official

My warranty is out. Just hit 36k yesterday on the way home from work. So now I can do all the things that I didn't want to do till it was out so the dealer could not give me a hassle in case I needed work done on it. First stop is to change out the dexcool to the green stuff. I know most probably don't see the need but it makes me feel better. With all the research I did when my Venture problems came about I don't have a good feeling running dexcool coolant. So many horror stories about it.

 

Thanks to all of you for your posts. I got a lot of things taken care of at the dealer while it was still under warranty.

I ran out of warranty with the years instead of miles, the trucks just got 26K on it..

 

 

the joys of a show truck lol

Our Ranger has hardly 7K on it. Our last one only got 80K when we owned it . However, my cousin runs his own business and those trucks get miles galore. One '98 F-150 he had racked up I believe 100K in one or two years. The '98 Blazer (the one I drive) just rolled over 100K.

Didn't want to spring for the extended warranty?

My goal is to always have it paid off before I run out of warranty...... However that means I can't have as many toys.... And with these trucks toys are very important.............

 

Got get me some new toys....

I didn't get the extended warranty. I felt that with the luck I have had with my other GM products that it wasn't worth it, never had any problems. Well now the van is a different story and at least it happened under the original warranty.

 

I would have had this paid off in the three year period but the miles just racked up. I bought it under the first offered 3 year 0%. If I had only known that they would have offered the 60 month 0% then I would have waited. That way my house, I mean truck payments wouldn't have been so high.
