fadyasha said:Finally got around to replacing my AC Low pressure switch! So far looks like it did the trick. Ac working fine and no warm air! Hope stays that way and if it does it would be by far the easiest fix ever lol
Boricua SS said:dang... 3 SS' down for the count... (jimmy's, stl's, and mine)
as for mine, its still sitting at the dealer... its been on the lift since friday afternoon... kinda makes me worried as to why it's been on the lift for 4 days now and why it was leaking coolant after a new motor was installed... my father goes into work tomorrow, so i'll know more then...
mapanch said:Your truck is gonna need counseling by the time they get it all figured out. Probably starts to shake with fear when you pull up to the dealer

blazinlow89 said:Cleaned the TB and the Jetta yesterday as it was nice 60*, and finished the interior of mine and the wheels on the Jetta. Unfortunately it was about 30* today, and I made the mistake of going out in flip flops and a t-shirt, made me get it done quicker.

Fire06 said:The family is just baffled on how to vacuum a vehicle they have trouble with washing and not doing it in the proper order. Like wheels last or use a separate bucket of wash water for the body and the wheels.
TollKeeper said:Went and saw it at the dealer. They are telling me that the 2nd gear bands are slightly burnt, 3rd and 4th are roasted. The warrenty company was only willing to pay for a used tranny at 1212.00 dollars. So I get to pay the diference inbetween that, and a GM Reman.
Then the warrenty company tells me that I cant have any more warrenty claims, as inbetween this claim, and my last claim, I have come up to the value of the truck, and they wont pay anymore than that. GRR!
So, I get a new ignition switch, rear wiper motor and GM Blade (for those that know about the XUV, getting the blade is kinda a big deal), a reman tranny (3yr/36k mile warrenty), a new radiator, A new intake manifold and gasket, and 5 days rental car.
Than I am officially on my own since the warrenty company wont pay anymore

mapanch said:My gf bought her Aveo brand new in 06. It never saw wax until I waxed it in 2010. I don't think shes vacuumed it since we waxed it in May. The floor of the backseat has so much crap in it that its level with the seat bottom Its not trash, I think she lives outa the backseat of that car. CDs, books, jackets, shoes, clothes, dog clothes (sweaters and jackets for the dog) and blankets. I've helped her clean it before and 2 weeks later you couldn't tell. Put a new radio in over the weekend, and I dropped a screw in the backseat - I think i need a tetanus shot after digging in the back seat.
mnypitTBEXT said:My GF, now my wife for 18 years, was exactly like this when we met. She had a 2 year old Toyota that looked like it was in a war. The paint was almost none existant, the interior stunk like I cant even describe among civilized human beings, the back seat could not even be seen. She got her first job as a school teacher and traded it in on a Celica All-trac. I overheard one of the salesman on the phone when we went in to sign the papers telling someone that they had a clean one owner Toyota owned by a female school teacher, LOL. From that day forward, anytime I hear someone say a vehicle was woman owned I cringe.
She has gotten a lot better over the years. She at least takes some of her stuff in regularly. Now its the damn coffee. I had to take the entire interior out of the TB when she stopped driving it. I hung the carpets over the fence and sprayed them down with cleaner, then pressure cleaned them. Still some stains, but they are much better.
Damage to the vehicle is another issue with her. She hits things and pretends she doesnt even know. I find little dings, scratches, and scuffs all the time. The fog light in her new car mysteriously shattered a week after she started driving it, and she didnt hear a thing and has no idea how it happened. The car is an 01, so the origional fog light lasted 12 years and within a week she destroyed it and has no clue how. I just chuckle now when I find these things. If I let it keep upsetting me I would have a heart attack.
mapanch said:She has the same problem with water/soda bottles. At any given time I can find 4 or 5 that are in various stages of full. CD cases all over the place. She has one of those CD storage binder/book things (as well as the visor CD holder), and the CDs are on the passenger seat (loose) and in the cubbyhole under the stereo. Since she has the CD holders, wtf would you keep the plastic cases all over the damn car?! Shes actually getting better about it than she was 3 1/2 years ago. She bugs me in the Spring about when we (I) are going to wax the car. Does your wife do windows? When I first started dating her, I swear she was a smoker. The windshield was covered in dust - no clue how she could see out the window.
