Folks
So my 2003 TB qualifies for the fuel tank replacement extended warranty stuff. So I'm wondering if I should have the fuel pump/sending unit replaced at the same time? 180K kms so 112K miles. They're going to charge me $600 and, and get this, one hour labour. The reason for charging me the labour so if warranty work is required in the next year that the warranty will also do the labour. The labour to replace the tank is three hours, I think. So I'm thinking that's pretty expensive insurance coverage on an item that is highly unlikely to fail in one year.
But the more important question is it worth replacing the fuel pump and sending unit as a preventative measure. I think I've read that non GM units can be had for about $300 and the shop labour is going to be a significantly cheaper elsewhere.
The dealership also tell me there is a crack in the exhaust manifold and the front brakes are down to "2 mils", likely millimetres or 1/12 of an inch.
