Ahem....
The reason the car went to HMS before SZ02 was to have the old hoses replaced with the "upgraded" hoses, which some were and some weren't. The one that burst, was a hose that was not replaced. The pictures taken clearly show the differences between the hoses.
Pascal, Slim Shady, their girlfriends, and myself will all agree, as we were all on the side of the road when the phonecall to HMS was placed (also wiping tranny fluid off our bumpers), along with the highway patrolman who pulled over to help us as well, the customer was offered to have the Bulldog fixed, and then no other work ...warranty or not, would be performed on it, or, the trans would be stripped of all bulldog parts, and *some* (emphasis on some) money would be reimbursed.
...Just stating the facts...
