Its a sad day when...
You see your lightning being towed away because it doesnt run. Seems like Ive have had every single TSB, Recall, and bad luck with my lightning.
And ever time i think 'well at least that can't break again'
Maybe its good that it breaks 12k miles before the warranty is out, but it sure does suck when your truck is down for weeks at a time waiting on backordered parts (last trip to dealer was 2.5 week trip, because all the peices they needed were backordered [seemingly suggesting that i am not the only one with that problem])
SOo anyway i sure hope this one is quick and painless because i haven't had my truck since tuesday...
(for those that are wondering, i now have the fuel line problem(in tank)
