The wife’s GTP’s low coolant light came on for a while. Took it to Bowser for inspection AND emissions :rolleyes: and they checked it out. Might be the intake manifold gasket. The GM rep or something like that will be there Mon to approve the work. I assume because it’s an extended warranty. Good thing I don’t have a smaller pulley on there or they would probably give me a hard time.

I told the sales guy when I bought my last car - buying an extended warranty is the same as saying, yeah I’m pretty sure something is going to break. 😃 And it did!

Import owners can add their reliability comments here.

Is this a common problem with the 3800? Because of the boost pressure?

fuck yeah man… think about it… he probably practices judo and shit so he can be like that quiet little guy in all the kung-fu movies that just kinda stands around while everyone fights, then steps in at the end and fucks everyone up.

Why didn’t the warranty cover it?
