Coleo
so it comes up the labour day long weekend and i get a call a few days before that my truck is done
its got a shiney new 6.4 top to bottom
GREAT!
truck is 1200 km away and i got to go get it on a long weekend where a bunch of family happens to live
so i rent this little rocket of a rental car 2008 nissan altima zooooom down to the coast i go
go to chilliwack to pick up my truck get it all signed out
and paid for the 2 brand new batteries that completely died in the 3 months the truck has been sitting there.
so im driving to one of my uncles and just as i get there about 30 km
the oil light comes on
so i stop check and make sure they put oil in it... and its up and all clean
so i drove the few blocks to my uncles place
phone up the dealership and talk to the tech
i said ok i got to drive this truck 30 km and the oil light is on
you make the choice if i drive it back or if your going to tow it back cuz im not paying for a new motor that goes bad in one day
tech says i dont wanna make that call to which i responded well it isnt moving another inch till you decide
he phones some powers that be and told me to drive it back.
so they cant do nothing with it till tuesday morning because the tech who actually put the motor in so i said i will be here when the doors open
tuesday morning im there at 7:20 just before they open
the tech took the old sending unit cleaned it all up and put it in and we went for a test drive.... no oil light....right on
so the tech is showing me this fancy new T they have put in to stop the radiators from blowing up and notices that the coolant is low... must have burped he says
i know this can happen so ok. he goes to get some coolant and im thinkin to myself what is that growing puddle underneath
it pissing coolant out of the back of the motor somehwere so i go and point it out to him
oh he says i musta left a hoseclamp loose i can fix that right away
ok happens and things get missed im thinkin.
so 11:30 rolls around and i go looking for the tech
what the hell is happening with my truck....
well i was fixin this broken hose and found another problem.
ok i say is it going to be a 5 minite fix or a 5 hr fix which he says if its what i think it is its a 5 hr fix. so into the warranty guys office i go
now im mad
i said find out when my truck is going to be done because ive got to go i have a business to run and your already cutting into my wednesday.
he comes back shortly and says its going to be a few hours
i said ok fix the thing right and ship it to me bye!
they didnt get it fixed till friday
and today all they would do is go half the transport back to me even though i already paid once to come and get the truck
so i have an appointment with my lawer coming up
rant off.......for now

So far I have only put two tank full of diesel, the first tank I got 14 MPG & the second tank I got 12.8 MPG, but I did run into more traffic than the first tank full.
