I took my truck in this morning because it had a leak. Figured it was the hose to the transmission. Nope. Turns out it's the water pump, the break line hose, and something else. It's only gonna cost about $3 grand, not to mention $35 dollars a day to rent a car until Monday.
Guess I'm buying a new car next week  . I'll probably go for something gay like an '08 Camry or Civic to hold me over for a few years

QUOTE (impala454 @ Aug 21 2008, 01:08 PM)  brake lines + water pump + ? = $3,000!??! I don't have the invoice. Whatever they're doing requires basically tearing the truck apart and removing the engine block. If it was just a leaky hose I could have probably fixed it myself. I'm not fucking around with removing the block even though I have an engine hoist and have done it before. -------------------- |

They must think you have a vagina, last time I checked you don't have to pull a motor to replace brake lines

I'll go find the information if it's that important. This is absolutely, positively, the last time I'm buying a domestic automobile. Not that I even like Toyotas or Hondas, but everyone I've talked to who owns one has but 125K+ miles on it and never had a major problem. I know trucks don't last as long as cars, but I drive well (ask anyone including Jessica and they'll say I drive like a grandpa). There is no excuse for an automobile to be getting 7-8 MPG when the manufacturer claims 16-17. American automakers wonder why they're losing business. It's because they're putting out inferior cars compared to foreign automakers -------------------- |
