You wield your 25+ years with GM around like its a great shield of your ever knowing knowledge of GM vehicles, service departments and policies. I'm a bit more in depth than just being a service tech anymore and spent nearly 15 years in the biz before getting to where I am at now to tell you that your one experiance with this, is not how the business is handled now-a-days, that's all.

And your point is????

 

Are you saying that my experience is irrelevant because I've been out of the business for nearly 12 years?

 

Are you saying that in your experienced opinion, GM will pick up the tab on replacing the OP's frame...... If so, I hope that you are right and I'm wrong.

 

Other than that, what's your issue here? I never said that your experience as a tech had no value or relevance on this or any other subject. I have little knowledge of current model technology and I will be the 1st to admit it. As far as GM warranty policy and dealership procedures......... I doubt much has changed much and I still associate with people that work for GM and a close friend owns a local Chevy dealership...... I have a lot of experience there and dismissing that out of hand is a little misguided IMO.

if i remember from the earlier posts the truck is lifted, correct? i think this may be the biggest problem getting gm to warranty it. if the truck was 100% unmodified and this happened, i would HOPE that gm would put a frame under it.

Was the truck even under warranty? The guy does have a 6" suspension lift. Heck the sub frame had to be cut for the lift.

 

Thats like putting a turbo on your truck and trying to get your block warrantied if it cracked.

The other issue is vehicle history....... 2nd...... 3rd owner maybe. 5-year-old vehicle???? Lots of questions here.

 

I still wish him the best...... If his friend knows the right people.... stranger things have happened....

My point is things HAVE changed sense you've been in the business, huge, as a matter of fact. I can guarentee it.

 

I was also bringing to light that you're one experiance does not shadow how the OP's experiance may or may not go.

 

I never said that GM will pick up the tab, I believe in just welding it correctly, and moving on, that's it. Always have been sense the beginning of the thread.

SEE!!!! We can agree on something...... I'm just a little more cautious in the way that I state it (out of an abundance of experience). :D

 

Sorry for the misunderstanding...... I thought this was your quote, "A DMA can authorize that frame to be replaced with little more than a few digital pictures for future reference. Happens everyday"...... silly me.... :)

That was my quote but I didn't specifically mean the O.P.'s frame. The DMA can authorize a frame replacement without calling in all the additional "help" that you say it requires. That is what I do mean.

Geez take it easy y'all. He also mentioned that with or without the lift this should not have happened. He asked me if I knew what it took to make this thing break .. said of course not.. he said if it was in 100%a condition n u did it, more than likely I would be in the hospital.. scary.

I'd say no way since it is lifted. I do believe that lifted or not this shouldn't of happened but GM isn't going to see it that way. As far as they are concerned once you lifted it they washed their hands from everything except the engine. Unless there was a TSB on that specific batch of trucks for that issue. It's not unrepairable and i think it is an opportunity to have that area reinforced so it doesn't happen again.

Does anyone think i have a chance that GM will cover it ?

It really doesn't matter what we think. It'll either be covered or it won't.
