4 Weeks
4 weeks at the dealer for lingering fuel smell after pump replaced . Stronger after they replaced driver side fuel pump AND triggered a suspension code. Ran a pressure test but showed nothing. Going to run again. About tired of this.

Oh. I would buy again. I think I just have a dealer whos is short on mechanics, and only one knows anything about corvettes (and his familiarity is questionable). I've gently suggested him to concentrate on the crossover pipe connections, as he has now told me he has isolated the leak to the top area of the tank. The issue was is that they jumped on the fuel pump replacement, but discovered that it had already been replaced in 2020 (but went ahead and replaced again. If they had followed the TSB, they would have performed a pressure test and found the leak the first time (and performed it after the repair), they wouldn't be dropping the differential again to repair.
I've only owned the car since April, but I would buy again. Harmonic balancer had already been replaced, and torque tube sounds has very little noise, so once they get this covered, I hope to be good. I punch it once and awhile, but mostly just enjoy listening to it purr...

Excellent video, thanks for posting. The crossover tube looks to be the most difficult piece, he made quick work putting it back together.
As often as he says he works on it, its a womder he doesn't invest in a few cordless electric tools.
