Hey guys.
I just bought a 2013 Yukon w/156k from a shady used car lot. Transmission acted up on the test drive.... i told him. I thought it would've been fixed prior to delivery. nope. So 2 days later when i bring the truck back (i wasn't going to turn it in, i just wanted him to think that) he says that "He bought me" an extended warranty that would cover the transmission replacement. i just had to wait 30 days. i don't think so. i barely made it home the next night, and had it towed to his brothers shop to fix.i had gone there at his behest to have his brother confirm a transmission issue. his actions were puzzling. he drove the truck like mario Andretti . it didn't slip once... ok. i said please pull over and let me drive. i wasn't 10 feet and it was slipping and banging, and a nice vibration i hadn't felt yet. 2 weeks later, i got nowhere, just the run around so finally i had my wife call and tear him a new one, the next day (yest) its finally on a lift. ugh. i really like the truck. i had a 2010 avalanche that i was forced to give up, its identical inside. i'm gonna find a good transmission shop and see if this warranty is any good. I have a lot of plans for this truck. i almost did a full stereo in the avalanche, but times got tough and i was forced to sell the equip i took a year to accumulate. I have been reading and studying. and i have some cool ideas i think you'll all like (well, most of you, lol) i have built a few cars over the years. most notably my 2015 Subaru Sti. 600whp/ killer JL audio high end build. i'm going to do something similar here.... but i'm going to hide all the speakers. truck is big enough i think!!
