Sorry sweety. But you know how probs with Epic get to me.

Well Grant, if you put it on carefully and didn't force it at all then I don't see how you could have messed it up. The opti might be bad, its a common but unfortunate plague with these cars. I hope its nothing too bad and too expensive. I hope you don't get screwed over by them trying to track down this problem. Dealers around here are known for tryin to solve something by throwing the most expensive parts at it first, not solving it, and then putting in the simple $25 dollar part last and chargin you for the other $1000 in parts that didn't do anything..

Mrs. Meenz28

you know its gonna be taken care of....why are your panties in a knot??? be positive she'll be comming home from Don Steves in one peice and running smoothly like she should be!!!!!!!!

Mrs. Meenz28

hahaha....i think i "knocked" the sense into him enough tonight....


LMAO---naw he's cool...he just worries about his car, what car lover wouldnt right?? My car is in the shop right now getting the shifter on the steering collum (sp?) fixed...looking at a $720 for a fix that should have been covered by warenty....so I understand where he's comming from....he's dramatic thought (hahah love you baby!)

Oh believe me I understand completely where he's coming from. You do all this work to your car so wehen something goes wrong it really bothers you. That and it always seems to be crazy expensive as well.

i hate when i do a ton of work and something small is still messed up and thats usually how things work with cars cause stuff can always break and **** u off, but good luck with ur car

69z-28

deff, like everyone else said. only thing im so grateful for, is all the tools and garage space i have. ive been so fortunate that ive never had to take my car anywhere to get something fixed(other than alignment). and even for that, he tells me my Baer heim link tie rod ends are crappy and should be replaced, and they only want 80 a peice and then labor. so the price for wheel/tire mounting and balancing and alignment woulda jumped from like 150 bucks to like 350. this wasnt a dealer either. good luck tho grant, hopefully you dont have to deal with anything liek this again.

MeenZ28

Well its about time i get some good news. I went and saw Epic this morning. The guy working on her was named Russel. Luckly the Opti didnt need replaced. The timing was just a little off. She started up and sounded good. But the dealer hadn't put the water pump or hoses etc. back on yet so she didnt stay running for too long. But thats progress. I should be getting her home tonight or tomorrow morning at the latest. But I love the laundry list of things the dealer "recomends" replacing. You should heard the rash he gave me for the throttle body bypass But the water pump, the hoses, the thermostat housing all could use replacing.... I'll keep it in mind guy...

Jpack

Hey while your at it, why not rebuild the engine or rebuild the tranny. Oh, and we filled up your blinker fluid free of charge.

FORCE_FED_Z

Well we all know how those thermo housing go bad...

Good to hear the car is on the road to recovery..hope they didn't rape you too bad.
