    The tube is not going in at all. No worries there. They are going to help me out with the cost quite a bit, so I am very lucky there. They are calling it "good will" as they consider me a valued customer.

    Good for you. Good on GM for taking care of you. It's service like this that keeps me coming back to the General!

    Thanks for the kind thoughts guys. I'm hoping I get her back this week. With the brakes and rotors being done, brakes bled, new battery, new tires and coolant flush, she'll be as good as new. Just paid her off last month too.

    lol..................it's just coincidental how these things happen (or just seem to happen) after the car is paid off or just out of warranty.
