Afternoon guys.
OMG what a beautiful day it's been.
Wife and I sat on the deck soaking up the sun. Finally had to move into some shade.
I was taking to my neighbour. They headed out to Georgia on Fri with his truck with a 6.2 engine.
He pulled an 18 foot trailer with him.
The G.M. truck has 100,120km so just shy of 65,000 miles.
They got into Virginia and the water pump went and it blew the motor up. As soon as the hot light came on he pulled over.
Apparently the 6.2 has a problem with water pumps. The truck and trailer got towed into a dealership and they got someone on it right away even though they we busy. So they get the news the engine is shot. So this is when gets interesting. The Chevy truck was built in the USA but because the truck resides in Canada the warranty is void.
He rented a truck and went on to the races in Georgia but he couldn't do a one way rental so had to be brought back.
Back home he found a towing company that could go south and pick up his truck in Virginia. He drives the rental back with the flatbed following and he gets his truck back home with a bill for 6000 bucks.
So the truck is now at the dealer he bought it from and always serviced it at.
The service manager is dealing with it now and my neighbour is going after GM for the towing. The good news is they had a great time at the races.
My neighbour has been buying all his new vehicles from the same G.M. dealer since he was 18 and he's now 60 years old.
See what The General has to say
