Warranty ending soon - what else to have checked/replaced?
The warranty on my '03 is going out in 1-2 months and I am trying to think of other items to check out/have replaced. I've had the IC pump and SC replaced. I have tried like hell to remember other big ticket items that some of us have had fail/recalled/needed replacement, but can't come up with too many and my search attempts are failing miserably. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
1) Flush transmission or cooling system, can't remember which one or what the issues were.
2) Torque Converter maybe??
3) Something very minor, which I have found kind of amusing over the years: Under hard accelleration from a dig, the sunroof cover will slide open 2-4 inches. Do most of you guys have this, or is it something that is broken or needs adjusted on mine?
4) ????
5) Etc.

RUSS...check out this thread and it may help answer your question. I haven't tried to take my car to the dealership to get a 06 update and I've heard it depends on the service advisor or dealership if it will be covered under warranty.

I was also led to believe that the technician working on the car makes out a little better under the factory warranty vs. the aftermarket; however, I don't know this for certain. The guy that has worked on mine is a great guy and I'll help him out any way that I can.

Thanks for the help so far guys, I appreciate the suggestions.
Am I inventing problems with regards to the transmission/coolant flushing issues, or was that a real problem others have had?
