When I bought my Avalanche in Sepember last year, they asked if I wanted "extended coverage."
The price was $1200. At the time, GM was only offereing 3/36000mi coverage. In other words, I'd be paying $1,200 for two years of coverage.
I declined. Knowing the 5.3L engine and the 4L80/4L60 transmission, I figured they would not go bad before five years. Any other repair would not cost anywhere near $1200. (I put 150K miles on my '95 Jimmy with the
4L60 and never had a slip.)
