Going to the garage...

...again.

I called up the garage I take La Tahoe to, and told the guy (our kids are in the same class) that if that damn universal joint is shot again, I'm going over to the sales department.

I've had it! I replace that u-joint almost every foogin' year, and it ain't cheap. Damn Tahoe. I love it, but I hate it.

UPDATE: Well, the U-joint and all that are fine, but there's a problem with the transmission! What to do, what to do. We'd have to pull it apart to see what's going on, but now it's a question of replacing one part or getting a whole new tranny...but with that one has a warranty.

Dammit. It didn't help that there was a beautiful '03 Avalanche across the road in the car lot.

Husband is calling our buddy at the garge to get the skinny. One has to wonder if it's worth it to fix the tranny in a vehicle that has over 100,000 miles when something else could shit the bed a month later.

Sonofa....beeeeeyotch!!!

Ah, the love/hate relationaship with your car. Been there, but my Cherokee is great.

Car problems suck. I don't mind paying for it to be fixed if the problem will be FIXED and not a whole bunch of new problems in it's place. Usually that's not the case. Maybe you guys should think of a new car (new to you, anyway).

Yeah, well, that's not happening. Husband wants prices on replacing part of the tranny vs. replacing the whole transmission.

I priced out that Avalanche and a couple other used vehicles, and even at those prices it's too much. Oh well...
