What parts did they order? Unless there is programming for the 5 speeds that's unknown to me I don't think your vehicle will run with the vacuum pump kit added.

I've got you all beat! My dealer has had all the parts but the pump for 6-8 weeks now and still no pump. Does anyone have any idea when these are to come in? This i getting a bit frustrating

GM is not paying suppliers as often as they like yet and it has slowed supplies down. The first of the year the payments are to be more often and should speed things up yet. The Chapter 11 recovery is not an instant fix and takes time to recover.

I guess I should be happy that I got the job done even though it was a "Hack" job.

I contacted my dealer today to see if the part came in. After 6 weeks they think the pump finally arrived. Once he has it in his hand he will call to schedule an appointment. No call this afternoon though.

I finally got a call from the dealer that all the parts are in. Now I've got to figure out when to get them installed.

Has anyone had the brake fix done and are still having issues. I had it installed last week and even the Service Manager admitted that there is still an issue with the hard pedal on start up, not as bad (in his opinion). I have an '09 SS with the Stage 1 kit.
