Yes, I guess its a happy ending if you consider me paying $200 to get it
fixed at 36,435 miles (or 3 years 4 months) but considering the
potential cost, I am very happy with the "deal" the dealer made me.

I don't know about others but GMC is 7 years, 70,000 miles for emissions
only, its also 5 years for the computer. Everything else is 3 year, 36,000
miles.
By the way overall, I have been very happy with my truck. It has had 2
brake recalls and one airbag recall, all 3 were quick and easy things to
fix, an hour in the shop each time. The only real problem I have had was a
worn out tie-rod, that was fixed no problem under warranty. But I went
over 36,000 miles sometime on Sunday, paid the truck off on Tuesday and
found the problem on Thursday, have to admit GMC really planned it well :)

p.s. anyway back to shop talk, I got the rear axle assembled on my Singer
today, she is on all 4-wheels for the first time since I have owned it. Now
to the rest of the car.
