Ok ok sure, I’ve been trying to reach you about your extended car warranty.

Now that that is out of the way, has anyone actually purchased an aftermarket car warranty? I have a 2015 Silverado, and a 2018 GMC Yukon. Unbeknownst to us at the times of purchase, we didn’t realize how bad the lifter problem is for those engines. As such, we’d be looking at about a 7500 fix.

Thinking an extended warranty might be worth it here, at least for the Yukon which is still a daily driver and trip taker.

Anyone?

just delete that AFM/DOD or whatever. It's like pulling eye teeth to get those bastards to actually pay out.

^ like NeuseRvrRat said, go to your mechanic and do an Active Fuel Management/Displacement on Demand delete ASAP

I was close to purchasing a used 2021 Yukon XL with around 90,000 miles on it. Luckily, I took it to my mechanic for a walkaround. His advice was to do the delete ASAP or not purchase. He quoted the delete at around $300. I did not purchase the Yukon.

Also, fuck Randy Marion!! I asked you your opinion on AFM and you pledged ignorance. You sell Chrysler products. You know what MDS is. Fuck you!!

Best advice: Sell your Silverado and Yukon ASAP. Shop around and buy something from the GMT800 platform.

Any extended warranty that isn't either purchased from the manufacturer or the dealership is usually a ripoff to both the consumer and the mechanic shop that (might) cover the repairs.
