After a few more conversations I have an update. Looks like the lemon law does not do much for the situation, the truck now has 44,000 miles on it and it is now out of warranty (problem was initially investigated within the warranty period at Ken Bachor but they were not able to find anything at that time). The best scenario that has been offered is to “lock down” the truck at any point that the coolant system can be manipulated and observe until it runs dry again. After this point I have been told by the dealership that this will give them 0 authority to investigate the scenario further. Have already spent about a grand investigating this problem and for that we have concluded, “ It has to be going somewhere”. Have received substantially better information than that from the participating members of this forum. The good news (it is all relevant) is that I can continue to drive the truck on a daily basis and if a major component craters they (dealership and GM) may have something to talk about. Bad part here is that I really enjoy the truck (awesome platform) but my experience with this problem has just about disenfranchised me from the repeat purchase of a GM product. Many thanks for all of the information and suggestions. Someone asked how many times it had been in and I believe that Ken Batchor has looked at it twice, another shop in San Antonio once, and 3 trips to a local dealership in town. I am not going to sell the truck, cannot pass this problem on to anyone else in good conscience. Another great point here is that I believe this truck gets better mileage than any other H2 on the road (1000 MPG).
That’s Dexcool folks, not fuel!
