Oh, please. How does GM control the narrative on "internet boards"? Do you think GM owns all these forums and decides what can get posted? Ditto YouTube. GM doesn't dictate what videos get posted and stay. Google would laugh at them if they tried.

The YouTube video of the Z06 with the engine issue at 50 miles got made private really quickly after the owner indicated they offered to replace the engine. I guarantee GM asked him to take it down.

Why do you think they call them influencers? And who influences the influencers and their adherents by association and on down the line to someone who bristles at someone else posting that which doesn't sing praises. I would even hazard that your thoughts have been manipulated and you're not even aware.,

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we really didn't land on the moon, the world is coming to an end when the clock strikes midnight on January 1 2000, Oswald didn't shoot Kennedy and who only knows who shot JR.

Some choose to be naive. In this world of mass communication 24/7 ideas are easily manipulated. Ever hear of that twitter thing and the FBI's controlling the narrative over there? Didn't think so.

Not naive at all. The government controlling the narrative is all about politics. I get that and believe 100% that is what the FBI was doing - to keep the dems in power. But this is MUCH different than GM trying squash information. GM can get in WAY too much trouble if they tried to do what the government did/is doing. Big corporations spend millions teaching their employees about ethics etc. because bad things can happen when they try to do as you allude to. They are scared stiff about being caught doing something unethical. The government, on the other hand, can do what they want until we all stand up and stop them.

Sorry OP. Way off topic here and we are doing you a disservice.

I highly doubt it will be from BG. Most likely from wherever they source them from.

Hey just a reminder when your replacement trans shows up…
Thanks!
