Well my Supercharger came apart on my 2019 C7 ZO6 and blew the motor 27,000 miles. GM is not honoring the warranty because I had a tune on the car.
Anyone have any advice on dealing with GM in regard to getting them to cover anything? I had a cold air intake and a pully as well as cat back exhaust on the car.
Advise I was going to replace the motor with a custom build any recommendations on engine builders, looking for the best.
Thanks Guys.

Even if you didn't have a tune, or aftermarket parts, GM would fight you on it. They don't stand by their products, which is why I will never purchase another GM product. You're going to eat this one.

Sorry to hear that. I recently had a engine go out on me out of warranty and had to do a LT4 replacement which cost me about 20k. GMC helped with 3k out of goodwill and i sold the old engine with supercharger for 5k
