That's ridiculous. Can the police legally refuse to follow through on charging a criminal if they already know who did it? If they DO have that discretion, it seems ripe for abuse. If they happen to not like you for some reason, they could just allow you to be robbed, maybe even killed. Scary.

Are there any components of the pump that you can remove to possibly squeak between the frame rail? See if there’s anyway, you can possibly move the subframe by loosening some bolts to gain more room for removal of the pump.

No problem unfortunately I was not on site with most of the handwork was done. There is drainage at the bottom, so there is a footer drain at the lowest point which takes water out to the storm main at the street and there is also a gutter drain which in some parts of this house the gutter drains are only approximately 2 feet deep.

Depending on a lot of factors usually a contractor will charge $150 per liner foot across your wall with minimums. This job would have been $13-17k ball park and typically a contractor would not have given nearly as much care to the quality as this home owner did. If you have one wall that is bad unfortunately typically the other portions of your house may not be far away from needing drain repair. As a home owner if you are fairly handy you can save your self a decent bit by tackling this project your self. Finding the best price on stone, hauling dirt out, some where to dispose of the dirt and equipment/ operator and if you need a labroer will be your biggest expense. Try to network with your neighbors. Lots of good people out there still.

Question? I have a 2014 traverse. It has been leaking steering fluid at a rate of half a quart about every two months. I degreased the undercarriage to try and identify exactly where the leak is coming from but still can't quite see it. It's definitely coming from the pump and not the rack but my question is, should I just go ahead and replace the pump or should I do anything more to try and diagnose the issue? I do all of my own repairs because where I live there are no mechanics that are trying to do a good job well done without robbing you blind first. I guess a more indepth explanation of my question would be if I replace the pump is there anything else I need to watch out for that it may be leaking from that may not directly be the pump itself?

So typically these Chevy traverses are very well known for power, steering pump failures. In this particular case, it was diagnosed by the dealership and they were given a astronomical price, so I did it for a friend. to my knowledge, it was only making a high-pitched, whining noise. Before you replace the pump, I would suggest doing your absolute best to bleed the air out of the system. I would try to first jack the front end up and crank the wheel back and forth lock out to lock out with the engine off. Back and forth up to 40 times. Possible air in the system could cause your problem. You would just be investing a little time before buying parts and your labor for this project.
