When I bought my truck in April, I opted to buy the extended limited warranty (5 year/60,000). I noticed today that when I log into my Chevrolet, the warranty timeline only reflects the standard 3 year/30,000. 
 

Can anybody confirm if the my Chevrolet dashboard should reflect the extended warranty? They told me that the warranty was tied to my VIN so I figured it would be updated in the GM system. I’m wondering if the dealer forgot to actually add it to my VIN. 
 

Please note: I am talking about the “extended limited warranty” that extends the GM bumper to bumper warranty. Not the third party extended warranty contracts that they push on people.

Check out the paperwork that came with your truck. Typically these warranties are through a third party. Have these on both of my cars and they’re both not thru gm.

Yea I know many of the warranties are through third parties. I specifically asked for the one through GM when I was at the dealer though because I didn’t want to deal with a third party. Literally exactly the same as the 3 year/30,000 but just extended to 5 year/60,000.

This may be the first documented case of a car salesman lying to a customer to get the sale...

Well you’re wrong in this case. I didn’t make this thread to try and teach people the difference between the GM extended limited warranty and the third party maintenance contracts that they try to sell you. There’s already threads on this site about that.

 

But if you don’t believe me, google GM extended limited warranty.

and if you got a sliding rear window, bravo on getting this extended warranty as part of your deal, you will certainly need it.

My 5/60 extension is definitely through a 3rd party.

Clearly states has to go to dealer where purchased. 

 

If more than 40 miles away from purchased dealer, which mine is, need to obtain authorization before taking to another dealer or shop....

 

And my window has already had attempted repair #1. 

#2 will be a solid rear window.

      I like the idea.  I would pick diesel if I had a choice. I need pictures though.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By newdude · Posted

      I've installed cheap eBay new aftermarket digitizers before.  They work.  Did a bunch of Cadillac CUE (aka Cadillac's MyLink) for someone years ago.  They all worked fine after the repair.    That number 22740886, that is a component part # for GM.  You can use it to search, but its not something that's obtainable at the dealer level.     So pretty much any of these will work - 2015 Colorado Digitizer for sale | eBay

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...
