About three or four years ago I found out that there was a class action lawsuite against GM for the problem with their 3.1 and 3.8 liter engines (lower intake manifold gasket leaks and sludge build-up in the cooling system) that their Dexcool caused. So, I put in a claim for her '01 Buick Century (her car before we got married) for the parts cost for me to replace the lower intake manifold gaskets. It was about $350 (the gasket set was expensive). Did not hear anything else about it, then GM went belly up and I thought that was it. Well today a check was in our mailbox from the Dexcool Settlement Fund with my wife's name on it. The check was for a whopping $20.77. The short letter stated through the litigants' valiant efforts, they were able to keep the class action open through GM's bankruptcy procedings and the check represented my wife's share of the compensation from the available funds. Not a lot of green, but I thought it was amazing she got anything.
