Felt a bit like the first day we left our son at daycare :(:(:(
Had the Driver's window motor replaced and the Fuel level sending unit replaced on the TSB - when full it was reading about 7/8ths full. Never quite knew when I was going to run out of gas. :depress:
The service advisors at the dealership - Lief Johnson here in Austin - were very cool, and they all asked me about the MM. The guy who took me to work said he was kicking himself for not getting one when they were new.
On the ride to work - at OH MY GOD IT'S EARLY (For me - 7:15am) we took a wrong turn - which turned out to be kismet - because I saw another MM parked on Airport road. Not sure what year - but it was black and had the OEM spoiler. Going to have to go back tomorrow and see if the guy works there. Maybe drop a card on his wiper blade.

Also took mine to the LM dealer today since the high RPM bog/hesitation came back. It was gone for a few days leading me to believe I'd had some bad gas. But, alas, they found a bad fuel pump and replaced it and the fuel filter under warranty. All in all a good experience. The assistant service manager is my service writer and he called to give me a report and to tell me when the car would be ready. When I dropped it off at 7:00 this morning they had the courtesy van drive me back home at 7:30. The also have 3 SVT certified techs there and they are the only ones that work on the high performance vehicles. A very friendly, competant operation so far. I'm pleasantly surprised since my last experience with new car warranties was many years ago at a GM dealer. :D

Hey Ray did you see my future MM there by any chance getting worked on?

No, didn't see it. I took mine to Longwood LM which is north of town. I think you said yours was at a dealer in Ocoee which would probably use Central Florida LM for service. Do you want me to go look at it when it comes out of service?

As I've been tooling around town, expecting to see my gas gauge go down, I was surprised to see it go up. :banana:
I called the service advisor - and he said I needed to calibrate the gauge by filling the tank and that it will reset to full. Hope that's the answer and not that they hooked the blasted thing up backwards.

Full tank of gas = E on the gauge, and Low Fuel light. Called back to dealership... they were less than enthused when I quoted an article from MM.net detailing Svashtar's exact same issue. When I said that I'm an enthusiast, and I read about the MM's and Panther's quite a bit, the service rep just gave in. "Bring it in, we'll look at it." he said. Great. Another day without the big black cruisemobile. Makes lunch suck.

What was wrong with the driver's window motor? Mine goes up much more slowly than the others....

it was slow, but that wasn't the reason I took it in. Seemed like on really hot days, when I'd get into the car and roll the windows down to let the heat out - the driver's side window wouldn't function at all. After parking the car in the cooler garage overnight, it would work the next morning.
The window is much faster now. :D
