Took truck in for an oil change on Monday. They found an oil leak. Mechanic showed me the oil on bottom of engine. To fix the seal they have to take the engine out!!! Oh my God! Does anyone know what seal that would be? Hoping to get it back today. I just pray they can get it all back together right. Fortunately all I have to pay is the $100 deductible.
Had transmission replaced last summer. When they took out the engine they found that an oil cooler had not been bolted down when they replaced the transmission. It had rubbed on something and also has to be replaced. They think parts will arrive today. They say I will not have to pay for the cooler either.
Mentioned that steering wheel shuddered when I hit a bump. Mechanic says a shock absorber type piece betwee the front wheels was not working. $250 to replace. It is not actually the shocks but something similar.
My $80.00 oil change is now going to cost about $500.00!
Dealership gave me a car to drive and have been nice about everything.
