GRN96WS6 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Woops.....bet that is an expensive warranty claim. I wonder how hard GM fights the claim on those since they know how race car ready those cars are from the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted October 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 yeah they asked: oil level, coolant level, engine mods, signs of over heating, oil condition, coolant mixing with the oil. then they said go ahead and order the engine. BTW GM warranty cost on the engine alone is $12,323.00 thats not counting labor or gaskets and fluids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 At least you're probably getting some nice labor out of it. I'd kill for a good ticket once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPFSTheFett Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Those pictures are insane What's really crazy is the number of cars that have had this happen. Again, small percentage by comparison to other items, but big enough to find plenty of identical stories as mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
