My take on this comment is that once contamination happens, the damage is done. So if out of extended warranty, plan to do something quick to the radiator. Seems a replacement radiator for a known problem becomes a wise investment.glockshooter wrote:and a new radiator under warranty? That's right, this guy. Thought it was a torque converter shudder, dealer called me after lunch and said next week for a new transmission due to radiator contamination. Never did the bypass, up to last week the fluids were both clean and clear. Today I pulled the radiator cap and had a shamrock shake.
Thankfully still under the extended drivetrain warranty, and the extended radiator warranty. I checked the coolant at least once a month since I had it, always bright green. I had it at the dealer 2 or 3 weeks ago, for the same shudder. the coolant was green and the transmission fluid was dark, they said it was almost burnt. I can only assume it was leaking but not showing up?CPLTECH wrote: My take on this comment is that once contamination happens, the damage is done.

Well i thought so too. I had been in discussions with a Nissan rep for over a year. They just keep running around the block figuring after well over a year i would drop it. it worked. The final bill was almost 65% of what i paid for the truck. However the majority of that was attributed to a Nissan dealer who HUGELY screwed up and wouldn't cover the cost of THEIR mistakes.deserter wrote:the litrature for the extended warranty mentions reimbursment for people who had paid to have the repair done before the extension was issued???dared3vil00 wrote:I got a new one...
