fukken possessed LOL

ok, so I got a call from the stealership today. It is the recirculating door that needs replaced.

However, they needed to remove the console, and since it is not factory, they were going to charge me 1.5 hours of labor ($135) to remove and then reinstall the console.

F that. I did not want them touching that console. So, I told them I'd remove it, then make another appt to get the recirc door fixed.

I went and picked the truck up tonight, got in it, and the floor heat starts working. WTF???

Something was def. broke cuz I had no heat at all on the floor for over a week. They said the door was broken. But just don't get why it started working tonight.

yup. I had no floor heat at all. It would blow out the defrost when I switched it to the floor. Vents and defrost were toasty warm, just no floor, nothing came out on the floor. Figured it was the recirc door and the stealership confirmed that, but all of the sudden it started working again when I picked it up tonight.

well.........Dave - I can see them saying this. Stock, they wouldn't have an issue at all. Now they are removing an item that they can easily damage - and they have no clue how it is installed.

BUT, to charge 135 bucks for it? I don't think so.

yup, I have begun to get accustomed to it LOL ;)




but yeah, there was no way in hell I was going to have them f that console up at $135 bucks.

And now that the heat is working again, I'm not really sure what I'm going to do.

But why the F did it start working again? that's what I want to know. Just find it really weird that I didn't have any heat, they said the door was broke, and now I have heat.

I really am not trying to be a wise ass here, but, Are you accustomed too leaving your truck at the dealer and not getting the problem fixed? From what I've read, (I gotta be missing something) It seems that all is well. truck went in with no floor heat. and voila! Truck comes out with floor heat!!Do ya think a mechanlc or the tooth fairy worked on it?:crazy: Like I said I'm prolly missing something here.

And now I know!! The heat in the dealers shop, helped the door open for the floor heat.It needs some w-d 4o or something like that; too make it work for a remedy. When you left the dealership it froze back up, taking your heat with it!!! I'm a fukken genius!!! Hope it works out for ya!

Whoops, forgot to update this. Got my floor heat fixed yesterday. Nice and toasty now.


And now since the console is still out, I'm going to get it re-done, putting a little customization in it. :********:
