Well, as it turns out I will be able to tell you how they handle major operations. The "whooshing" noise was, in fact, a CAC tube. Easy fix for sure.
However, it appears as though I also had a gusher of a bed plate leak. So we are going for open heart surgery (again).
I have to be honest, I'm super glad I got the extended warranty. If nothing else it is worth the piece of mind taking the thing in and them seeing it has the warranty and not freak out on the van.
I know there are a lot of comments on the forum here around the bed plate leak and how much of a PITA it is and this guy commented that there is a new procedure on how to put the new gasket in, etc that makes the fix more durable. Anyone have any detailed information on that tidbit?
Light a candle and pray for me. They say I'll have it back in one day which is at least better than Sunrisre Ford where I had to wait two weeks to find out they had jacked it all up.
