Default Yeah, so GMPP screwed up...

Yeah, so a while back I order my Fastburn 385, but instead GM sent the wrong motor. What they actually sent was the new 572 720hp motor. It took me a sec to realize....I looked in the crate and I saw this orange motor and was like WHOA!!!!! I would've kept it but they were still gonna charge me the correct price (not the fastburn price). But I must say, that was a pretty motor! :thumbs:

Not sure but if they sent you the wrong one I am not sure you tech had to pay for it. I would have dove into the law books myself before making any decision. GM has sold a few lemons so think of it as kharma. :)

:iagree: I'm pretty sure that if you got something you didn't order through the US mail, you get to keep it. That probably doesn't work for frieght deliveries from private haulers, but whatcha got to lose except a little research time?
