[QUOTE="zombiekiller, post: 1296478, member: 25186"] hey, so guess what? when i had issues with my truck it was making ****** noises. Had it towed to the dealer. they thought it jumped timing and needed a new motor. At very least they thought i would need a couple new pistons and a new head. It ended up being 2 clogged injectors and a dirty fuel rail. Been running for 8K since the "fix" without issue. Even towed a car on a trailer from NJ to new orleans without issue. don't lose hope yet. and if it is a grenaded motor, to the other posters' points, make them correlate the failure to your tune. And yes, you need to understand how and get a copy of the computer logs. worst case, warranty denial and you spend the coin for a new shortblock ( under 3K) and pay someone you trust to do the swap. make sure to remember to have the "evidence" returned to the dealer in the event of litigation, since you're sure your lawyer will request that they produce it. ( this is total ********, but it would be rewarding for me to know that the dealership staff ran around losing their minds trying to figure out what to do with it, until the GM figured out what they were doing and blew his top for their stupidity.) shit dude, most people spend a lot more than what you'll spend to get the motor sorted on their front coilovers and shocks when they upgrade. (myself included.) [/QUOTE]
