well.... i got the phone call yesturday and went up to the dealership today... and it is confirmed, i am getting yet another motor...
for those that dont know the back story, to sum it up, i spun a bearing on the original motor back in March of this year... Got the truck back in May, new motor had a knock in it (diesel knock.. inside joke for the midwest gang
), so the dealership told me to drive it all summer and drop it back off when i parked her for the winter... Day after thanksgiving she goes to the dealership, then i get the call yesturday...
i have the GMPP extended warranty, so all was covered.. but here's the catch with them... the motor that is in my truck now, is not from GMPP... its from another company that GMPP has working for them.. and guess what... yep, im the guinea pig for the dealership and this company... FAIL! but this company came out and purposely had the dealership park the truck outside to get it "nice and cold" as they put it (temps have been in the low 20's, upper teens here lately)... so the adjuster had a video camera, and had them start the truck.. and he said the knock was out of this world and sounded like my chit was gonna gernade itself lol... then they get it on the lift, and listen underneath, and then look to see if i overheated the motor by looking for some tab or something thats on the block, and when it overheats, the solder melts away and this plug or plate or whatever is not on the block anymore.. so the adjuster took the video back to his company, and they just decided that instead of trouble shooting, to just take the old motor out, and get another one in... sooo.. back at zero miles again...
i dont know how to feel about this... but at least its all getting fixed for free
:wootwoot:.. oh... and the power steering pump just went out too lol... also getting fixed for free... thank God i bought the warranty...
