So let's just say yesterday was a fun one.
Started my drive to Atlanta, the clutch started slipping a couple miles from the office. I decided (and lucky i did) that I was going to detour and go to Rush Pete and have it looked at.
Turns out, the bellhousing had cracked block to tranny and was held on by TWO bolts.
Turns out one of the mounts was loose causing the motor to shear the bolts than crack the housing.
I could have killed people yesterday.
National Truck Protection (which I liken to a home warranty company) denied my claim because it was the motor mounts fault the bellhousing went AWOL.
Does that sound right? I read my contract 5 times yesterday sitting in the lounge and everything points to it being covered.
Question: Should I press this with NTP? I called and they shot me down quick. I called back so they could site me exactly where in my contract that it is not covered but they were......CLOSED.
There goes $6800.
If you have a mechanical problem and it costs less than $100 to fix....you are driving a car.
If it costs multiples of hundreds of dollars, you are driving a big truck.
This stinks.
Off to Bright truck rental.
See you on the boards!
