Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

Updating...haven't been here in a while.

Trailblazer and Envoy related, but not off-road related...

So I thought I would give y'all an update...I've been MIA recently

I've thus far purchased a BDS front kit, Allied black wheels (had the stupid pin striping around the rim taken off) a K&N CAI, various recovery equipment, and a set of 255/70-16 Maxxis Bighorn 762 mud tires.

Now here's the pain in my rear...

My fuel level sending unit went out...to my luck. So now until I get that replaced, I have to hold off on installing everything else or it will void my warranty.

On a positive note, I work for Les Schwab so its not like I have to wait to make an appointment for everything.

Comments? Feedback?

GM's now paying 50% of the sender replacement cost. Did you get the letter?

That's a big negative ghost rider! Lol. Can you elaborate?

Go to a GM dealer, and they will split the cost of the swap with you.

Since we're on this topic - I didn't see anything in the letter that discussed reimbursement for swapping out the part yourself.

I never heard about this, I had mine replaced about a year and a half ago by the dealer. Any word on reimbursement for this? Just curious

How would a suspension lift void the warranty on your fuel system?

Still haven't seen anything about reimbursement for the part only if you fix it yourself. I think since I saved a few hundred anyways, I should just be happy and stop looking for handouts.
