If aflax24 needs to crank his T-bars so he can successfully run core samples of the Earth to scientist in Antarctica, there should be a level of professional understanding by GM to do what it takes to keep his truck running.

Re: Warranty dont cover T-Bar Crank
Come out come out bro... lot of people here can help and that is bull. call hummer customer service and start a ticket. then ask for in writing the refusal to repair or check for the problem. Then talk to the service Mgr. and GM. Then hummer. If that doesn't work call another dealer that might want you biz. All else fails call the state AG and start a file taht they will have to answer.
Come on let's go

If you are referring to my post...I guess it is time to sell. I agree maybe the dealer should first explain what happens if it is due to the cranking of the rods, but if the noise is due to the cranking of the rods, exactly how do you expect the dealer to repair? Will the dealer install an aftermarket item to prevent the noise, should they spend hundreds to invent something, should they pray over it?
Sorry, the dealer will only and should only do an authorized repair on the vehicle. Doing anything else, leaves the dealer open for possible legal problems in the future if their "homemade" fix fails.

Re: Warranty dont cover T-Bar Crank
F5, one can only assume warranty is lost?
I see your point, but based on a torsion adjustment, were not talking a catastrophic overhaul to the vehicle. Engineers building these types of vehicles must take in consideration the possibilities of a owner making these types of common adjustments to an intended off-road vehicle.
He should fight it, I know I would.

Re: Warranty dont cover T-Bar Crank
Its a slippery slope, but I think I would respect f5's response. I think his original response was very open and right on. If your cranking Tbars caused the problem, its your problem. Mechanical failure otherwise is GMs problem. I find it hard to argue with that. As we say with doctors, get a second opinion.

I respect any valid response, especially from F5; it won't stop me from a friendly debate though.

Re: Warranty dont cover T-Bar Crank
Aflax, find out how much out of spec you were on the t-bar crank. I doubt it's close, but you might still have a case. But with 35" tires, it probably doesn't matter. That's way out of spec.
