Safety recall
Remember the story I had about hitting a Lady in her rear end while my truck NOT stopping at about 6 mph? Damm Anti lock brakes! I have done just about everything I could shy of replacing the sensors to try and figure it out. Even had the dealer look at it, they said they put in a new "code" in the computer? DAH. Of course that didnt help.
WELL
GM just sent me a letter, safety recall on my truck which is licensed in a "high corrosive area" Seems between the rotor and the sensor corrosion will build up causeing your truck NOT to be able to stop when the anti locks come on in some cases. They say they come on too often and for NO good reason (to put it in my own words).
Anyway the dealer will get my truck tomarow morning. BUT I think he lost my records of paying for the fix they done so I will not be re-imbursed by GM unless I can find the reciept? That stinks eh? At least my brakes will work, I was starting to drive like a little ole lady when ever I was on any snow covered road!

I can not believe how stupid I am. This board just may have saved me money again! The dealer told me that if I could not find the reciept, that he would be able to pull it up. He had it on his computer infront of him, but he said he would have to go to the main office and print it there since he was not able to print from his line. He told me to call him the next day if I could not find the reciept. I FORGOT!!!! $160 I was charged for the last work performed and I should get reimbursed. I better get on the ball and get that reciept and send it in on Monday before money runs out!

I have around 150K on my 99 now. After a few warrenty items (the same ones a couple of times) I have had NO problems (knock on wood). A few minor things that you may expect but all in all I plan to drive this guy anouther 100K with or without a new engine if she ever needs it. The brakes were a real problem with me though.

A few more feet for stopping?  TRY a fricken half a mile! LMAO. This is true! The day before I got the notice we had a inch or so of fresh snow. A dump truck dumped a whole load of garbage )mostly vegitable scrap like what a grocery store would throw away) I mean a WHOLE dump truck load on the highway. This spanded about 2 city blocks. The ploce had two of the worse lanes blocked off and one lane was passable. I went thru at 4:40 am and had to turn into a gas station to get my coffee. I went thru this area at about 15 mph with garbage and snow! Talk
about crapping my pants! I did not know what was infront of the officers until I was already by them and about to change lanes! WOW I was floored at how I could not stop. I went into the store and pissed and moaned to my girl there about my brakes and how I need a half mile to stop. Also told her I was paranoid to drive in snow now and that I drive like a friggin WIMP! Im getting passed up by every car in the damm county when there is snow out. Not because I dont have 4wd (I do) but because I am so afraid of not stopping! THATS HOW BAD IT WAS! They fixed it and they have not gone off again since then. Of course it only snowed one day since though?

I had a 87 jeep cherokee. Straight 6, what a great engine. Went 195K. My wifes next new vehical will be anouther cherokee. We went with the mini van for obvious reasons (3 kids) and now she dont want to give them up. She has no choice though when we move. I will not be called up to "come get her" cause the snow is too bad to drive in or she is stuck in 8 inches of snow. Id feel better with her in a 4wd. The prob. is going to be getting her to SLOOOW down. I can see her now thinking she is King Kong with 4wd and then realizing it dont help you stop? Oh well, she's college educated, she will figure it out?
