Actually I think there was a recent thread about someone doing a money shift, and amazingly the dealer did fix it under warranty.

Yes now that you mention it,yes your right.I believe he didn't tell the
Dealership about the mis shift.And I believe the dealer didn't ask.

once everything is warmed up, the car is made to take a decent amount of aggressive driving. First day i bought my corvette, it had like 5 miles on it. Better believe that thing it redline that day. The next day also.
Better believe GM engineers know more about how to breAk in an LT1 than you do. Believe that was not the way to properly seat your rings.

That none of the mechanic's had gone to BG KY plus to do that each dealer ship had to pay 25,k plus agree to take so many vette each year. He also told me they put the best mechanic ON THE VETTE'S & HOPE THEY COULD FIND THE PROBLEM.

My OBD2 port would not read nothing only thing you could get out of it was reading 11 volts. So I took it down & told the guy they had it back & I was out with in one hour told me the power pin was a little pulled over & not in the male hole.
Dealers are requied to have a factory trained C-7 mechanic to be able to get allocations but not to just service them
