So yeah. Its been TEN months to the day today. Since my Tahoe had a run in w a suicidal deer, went down. Got the body work done no problem, insurance paid for that. But they wouldn't cover the transmission, that also died in said incident. Got tired of arguing, I let it go. Well my banker (wife) tells me that everything is a go to get the Tahoe fixed!! My truck goes to the transmission shop on Tuesday, and I'll be back in the driver seat on FRIDAY!! 10 long a$$ months I have been waiting to drive it, just sitting in my driveway. Looking pretty.
Just so Happy and excited I had to share.

Its a Rebuilt. Local shop. Really Tahoed guys, I've used them before on a differnt truck, still going strong on that build and I am by no means easy on vehicles, unless I'm tryin to save gas, or its not mine. Lol.
Well i got the tahoe back late Friday after work. Had to work Sat, but gotten some miles on it. I have noticed a couple of things, my steering is off a bit,(haven't driven it since I got it back from body shop so might need slight alignment) and my fuel mileage is not as good as it was. Only have about 70 miles on it thus far so maybe after break-in it will be a lil better, not expecting much just maybe back to where it was. I'm LOVIN being back in my Tahoe.. sure did miss the ride.

I would have argued with the Insurance company about your transmission, if it was working just fine before you hit the deer it should work fine after the insurance has it returned to you in a drivable condition. We pay a shitpot for insurance the least they could do is pay out when we have an accident. If your transmission was working perfect before the accident they should make sure its working fine for you when it returns. My wife had an accident when she hit a coyote and the oil coolant lines started leaking after that, they said they weren't sure if they weren't leaking before them. The Mechanic and I lifted up the car and removed the protection plate underneath the vehicle and it had a little bit of oil that wiped off. If it was leaking before it would be caked with oil and grime and dirt. SO they paid for it. Don't let the adjusters run the show. You know your vehicle more than anyone and if something isn't the same before you had your accident and its not working when you get it back call your agent and let them know we have a problem. 75% of the time the insurance will fold but if you need to turn the dick switch on you should be able to get you car repaired to original working order.
