UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I RECENTLY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE HEATER MOTOR IN MY 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO. THE HEATER MOTOR BEGAN TO MAKE A SQUEALING NOISE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT . MECHANICS LOOKED IT OVER AND I WAS TOLD THE BEARING IN THE HEATER MOTOR WAS SEIZING UP ,ALTHOUGH THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T HAVE A NEW HEATER MOTOR IN STOCK THEY WERE ABLE TO GET ONE IN A MATTER OF HOURS. MY TRUCK WAS FIXED THAT SAME DAY .I MUST SAY I WAS VERY IMPRESSED AND HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE I RECEIVED. THANK YOU. *NM
