Replying to: richard64 (Jan 13, 2009 10:50 pm) Tempting Richard (especially the BBQ part). But, unless you're willing to pay me for the optional "window etching", mop & glow, safety interlock, extended warranty, fabric guard, $500 conveyance fee (to get it to you), $1,000 doc fee....and of course, the $1,500 "black car fee", I'm afraid I'll have to decline.......  But, about that date with Miss North Carolina....... I'm actually in the western part of the state (you were on the eastern side). We've got the same river here. Some good restaurants near the water, too. |

Replying to: imidazol97 (Jan 13, 2009 7:51 pm) Meeting was a bust. My Tahoe is sitting at the local Chevy dealer. They have to pull out the entire electronic module. And, they don't have the parts. We'll see how Chevy's "trip interruption" warranty works. The dealership is waiting word from Chevy on whether they'll cover the cost of a rental car so I can return home. As it stands, I'm drinking their (stale) coffee, using their internet, awaiting my fate. Of all the times for a heater to go out......

Replying to: graphicguy (Jan 14, 2009 7:02 am) See my post #37951 above. It might be fate. Maybe you'll pick up a bigger client while you are waiting. I am feeling your angst GG....I have been in those situations myself. Hope it all works out and you make it home in warmth and comfort. |

Replying to: imidazol97 (Jan 13, 2009 7:51 pm) The feeling of cold is relative. Even -1F looks positively balmy right now as the outdoor temp here is -29F and with windchill is -49F.

Replying to: imidazol97 (Jan 14, 2009 8:04 am) I would always wait to hit the Christmas tree stand on the coldest day in December. You could always work a quick deal when the wind chill hit 30 below and you told the guy you would tie it to the car yourself..... |

Replying to: graphicguy (Jan 14, 2009 7:02 am) Sounds like one of the actuators (electric motors that moves the vanes to control the air flow) might have died. Or the piece of the arm on the vane broke. Possibly the controlling programmer that decides how much to move might have died, but could you adjust between floor and defrost, e.g.? Actuators should be available from another area dealer for them to "Rush" parcel service to their store for repair. If the unit is designed like Buick's parts are replaceable by owners with a rating of 1 out of 10 on the shadetree mechanic scale. It's sort of like people putting Windows 7 on their computer as a beta.
