I don't remember exactly, but my passenger said he felt it in his seat and his body, and it seemed to just be in a tight 2 or 3 MPH range. I was just attributing it to a tire slightly out of balance, though I am not sure. On the Cooler lines, if it was a defect right out of the factory and has finally leaked enough to be noticed, they still won't cover it or even help a little on a 2 year old $30K vehicle if it has over 40K Miles huh?

I have bought 2 new cars from them in 3 years. Opened a ticket with the 800 number, but I am not sure that will help. I have owned 8 suburbans in the last 10 years, you would think that would count for something! :-)

They didn't, as my brother works at an oil change place, and with 10 vehicles I currently have, I keep the business in the family. I DID just hear from the 800# and they spoke with the service manager and they said they would review further, and let me know tomorrow afternoon. Seems they would cover the $105 part to protect the $4,000 transmission that IS covered under the power train warranty. :-)

just parked and smelled antifreeze. took a look and saw a small drip coming from lines that look similar to the pic. how hard would they be to change out? i'm pretty mechanically inclined. any tips?

The thread is about the transmission lines, you said you smelled anti-freeze and the link is for the engine oil cooling lines....
Where is your leak, on the lines? if so I'd check the connections at the radiator, the lines may just need to be snugged up, also check the larger nut on the radiator as it holds a separate cooler in the end cap of the radiator for the transmission and for the engine oil cooler...

Okay... I understand... yes that is the transmission cooling lines, however since you are smelling anti-freeze...I would go back to checking the fittings at the trans lines to the radiator... Basicly don't assume the lines are the problem just yet unless you can see physical damage to the lines. I would check the fittings for snugness, they might just be loose from the change in weather...
tighten, clean them up and monitor... if its antifreeze its not the line leaking it would be the radiator or radiator connection...
