I've also had good experience with East Syracuse Chevy; I needed some feature untoggling in my C6Z ECU and they quickly and inexpensively took care of it notwithstanding that it was a modified track car.

Wow very low miles, I guess when a component goes bad it goes bad. Glad GM did not give you any problems on replacing it.

What kind of noise did it exhibit ???

They didn't say exactly what it was but I'm pretty sure it was a bearing. It was a whine and rattling sound, pretty distinct. This blower is smaller than the one they had on the ZR1. Spins faster.etc. maybe engineers got it wrong .who knows . I just hope it doesn't happen again
