Took the truck to dealer where i bought it. Onstar didn't work at home but on the way to the dealer it worked. Dealers test showed everything okay. Think problem is that I live in a dead area and can't hit the satetlite unless I move a few blocks away to use Onstar. Other people in the area are hving he same experience. Guess thats just tough luck.

Also took the truck in to get a gease retainer bladder/ball joint on the upper left side replaced under warranty. Dealer say's I busted it from over greasing and I have to pay for ball joint replacement. He's got me because I do tend to put to much grease in the ball joints.

After getting home I got a call from anpother dealer where I took the truck in 2-3 weeks earlier for the klunk/klunk noise. They said my new steering shaft was in and bring truck in tuesday, if possible ,for replacement oof the shaft assembly. I just greased the old one and it works well but I'll go for the replacement while its available.

Wipe the ball joint down real good and have the other dealer replace it. The ball joint can't be replaced alone you get a whole new upper A-arm. It shouldn't matter how much you greased it.

TOTAL BS!! Do not pay that SOB! He does not "got you" unless you want to be "got".

Refuse, for my sanity.
