I'm sure some of you guys have recieved the recall letters
on the heater motor,resistor & harness from GM on 03-07's
I got 2 so far , so I took the truck in to the dealer trying to be proactive
I was told unless it is malfunctioning they will not do anything
mine is not acting up at all
As well if you wanna do the replacement yourself
you can,but you must buy the parts from a GM dealer and submit the bill
for payment
Now here comes the part where I vent on the age old problem of getting
ripped off by the Canadian dealerships
One dealer ship quoted me $189.00 just for the wiring harness
the other I called said $118.00 just for the harness
I asked if it comes with the KY jelly or is that extra???
but they didn't think that was funny
then I said why don't you give me the parts and Ill do it myself
and we are square??
they didn't think that was funny either
no sense of humour these guys I'm telling ya
I stopped right there of course and thought screw that they can do it
really stupid though because I can order the resistor and harness from
LMC for about $100 including shipping and duty I don't know who makes it
but it won't be ac delco Im sure, that also doesn't include the heater motor
if need be
Either way you just know its gonna crap out at the worst time possible
and you'll be driving to work in 30 below scraping the window so you can see
or worse the truck burns up when you got the heater blasting
So I may just bite the bullet buy an after market one eat the cost
and do it myself rather than being stranded if its bad enough to do a recall
on all these trucks its gotta be real you'd think
because I haven't ever got a recall on any of my GM trucks before
and alot of things should have been.
please give me you thoughts on this guys
