Update on broken push rod.

[JimCost2014]

Had push rod on cylinder 4 break on 06/10/2018. Broken piece made it’s way into the cylinder and caused enough damage that the engine had to be replaced. After 19 days, get truck back, dip stick not pushed all way in, so I think I have an oil leak because of the amount in the engine compartment. Back to dealership, can find no leaks, just the mess left behind from the engine swap, excatly what I want to hear about my $62,500 truck with 20000 miles. Day 4 back in my possession and now I have a CEL, pulled code P0340, any ideas on WTF is going on now? I know they use some of the original parts, but this sounds a lot like human error. If I pulled this kind of crap at work; I would be fired!

Sorry to hear all this.  Sounds like they rushed it and had guys work on it that didn't care.  They should have kept it a day longer and drove it around to make sure all was well before releasing it to you.  Hope you get this all sorted out.

Sounds Like they forgot to do a Camshaft position sensor relearn. That's the code you are seeing. 

 

If they forget to do it it usually pops up in a few days.

 

I had a Steering Rack changed in a 2010 Traverse and it leaked fluid out of the sub frame took it back they cleaned it kept leaking.

 

So I flooded my sub frame with dish soap and water and managed to get it all out.  The dealer sucks at cleaning fluids.

$62,500?

 

I gotta tell ya man. For that kind of scratch, I would just buy a new Dodge Viper, or a used Lamborghini Countach.

Good Luck.

MSRP, only financed $30000.00 after trade value of 14, trade allowance, rebates and so on. Do you think they would have treated either of those any better?

Go to the FERD forums.....this is everyday threads, another blown engine.....very rare on the GM site of engines going down....it's just the truth.

Damn that hurts. My 6.2L is going in today with a AFM/trans related issue. Hopefully not an internal issue at this point. If my motor went and they bastardized the swap, I would trade it immediately. 

 

Dealers are given a timeline for warranty work. If the timeline is 10 hours for a motor swap, that's all the want to put into it. If everything is hooked up and working at hour 10 and the truck is a dirty mess, chances are the dealer will not put in 1 hour of unpaid time to clean up the mess for you, unless you're a valued customer. Customer service is getting harder and harder to find.

At the dealership right now, have already spoke to my salesman and GM about finding a new truck. CEL went out this morning, now they are trying to figure out why it came on, and why it went away.
