GM WONT REPAIR MY TRANSMISSION

[LasVegas]

Hummertech is probably correct but with some hard negotiating maybe you can reach a compromise/concession with the dealer/gm.

Well here is the latest update.... GM says no way!!!! Since I have added a supercharger they will not warranty anything drive train related. What a crock.. after all these years of working with GM as a supplier, and buying their crap.. I have to now pay for it on my own.

I spoke to Lingfelter, and they referred me to Rossler Trans in Ohio who builds all their H2 transmissions. <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> </div></BLOCKQUOTE> So, what they have told me is that they rebuild the transmissions to handle the power of the superchargers.<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> </div></BLOCKQUOTE> <span class="ev_code_BROWN">They are telling you that GM's trannys can"t handle the supercharger.It sound to me the experts have spoken![COLOR:BROWN]Lingfelter that is.[COLOR:BROWN]If you didn't put on the charger it would be covered.Power costs ,Chargers are great but think about GM stand point.If you blew the tranny in a grand prix s/c between 3-36 it would be covered.</span>[/color][/color]




Total cost of Rebuild $3000.00
Lets add in the labor for the dealer of lets say $700.00
incendental stuff of lets say $500.00.

DAMN GM!



After further research, http://elcova.com/groupee/forums/a/t...1/r/2691091411


I have also found that Hummer has had an existing problem with the 2-4 band going on the tranmissions that dont have a supercharger on them. Hmmmmm this is the exact same thing on my trans that went. Oh lucky GM.. they dont have to pay for another great and wonderful engineering job they have done!!!

No wonder sales are slipping. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Well here is the update...

Decided to keep my H2... just love it too much with the Supercharger. I did look at the Excursion Diesel though.. damn I wish the H2 had the diesel. Hey maybe I will look at the H1 Alpha.... $140K... not bad.. yeah right.

So I ended up sending my transmission to Rossler Transmissions in Ohio.

These are the same guys Rossler Trans who do the Transmissions for Lingenfelter. Carl Rossler was great to work with, and knew the H2 trans well. He built the trans back up for me and got it back in 3 days!!!!

We put the trans back in, and wow... what a difference. It shifts nice and hard through all the gears, and everything runs just great. I did call Magnuson and found they had an updated for my programer, so I took care of that too... had it sent to them and sent back within two days.

Like a new H2 (Supercharged) now!!!

Now... lets see what I will blow up next - the motor or the rear end????

Anyway... I was able to get GM to pay for the labour and my rental... the dealership had me tied up for 4 weeks. God that pickup rental I had was killing me.

Hey, parts guy... Dont worry about a thing.... I researched it well and new the risks... but for an OE to completely absolve themselves from any responsibility on things that have "patter failures" that is another thing.

I am fortunate enough to be here in Detroit, and be very close to the auto industry. Actually I have even heard of a potential "silent recall" on H2 transmissions.

So I mean.. come on at least 50/50.

But hell, why you would make a personal comment about me in a forum is beyond my comprehension - You dont know anything about be, and trust me when I say I have and do take full responsibiliity for all of my actions and decisions.<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> </div></BLOCKQUOTE>You are correct.I am
sorry,But You may have in the heat of fustation
Blamed everything on GM and nothing on the s/c.
There is a reason Manufactures void warrantys
because of add on parts designed to exceed manufactures spec,s.Again Iwas wrong to state
what I did "I don"t know anything about you"I wish you luck.

Maj....Got this from SEMAs website.
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> The Law

Federal law sets forth requirements for warranties and contains a number of provisions to prevent vehicle manufacturers, dealers and others from unjustly denying warranty coverage. With regard to aftermarket parts, the spirit of the law is that warranty coverage cannot be denied simply because such parts are present on the vehicle, or have been used(see Attachment A).The warranty coverage can be denied only if the aftermarket part caused the malfunction or damage for which warranty coverage is sought. Disputes in this area usually boil down to arguments over facts and technical opinions, rather than arguments over interpretations of the law. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> There's a host of other information at their site...SEMA including how to handle this claim. You need to get armed with the best information then take-them-to-task! With the history of H2 2& 4 gear failures you have a good case.
