6. June 18th Motor arrives at Dealership and installation process begins
7. June 19th Car is ready for pick-up $25K+ repair bill covered by GM
I only lost one weekend and now basics have a new car, thank you GM and my local dealer for the best service in the world.
Sorry it happened, and glad that GM and the dealer took care of things quickly and well. And I gotta say, I like your attitude and the way you approached it. Stuff happens, and we can whine about it and complain or deal with it. A little bit of honey goes a long way to get people to help you. Nice job.
Yes, the new engine that arrived with metal debris in valves was a bit concerning. I hope GM adds some type of Q/A inspection considering the metal debris could cause engine failure.

I was thinking the same thing. Too many times on here you hear the screaming, crying, nashing of teeth, and I'm gonna sue the bastards. Stuff does happen, and you are so correct. Take care of it, and drive on down the line.
OP, happy to hear your dealer, and GM got you rolling quickly.
it?
Another blown engine! Fully documented
