This sounds wierd but i will post it .


My dieseltech asked me today if i knew of any DMX's LB7's with over 500,000 KMS on them. When i asked him why it was important he said GM wants to do a fee engine change to see what is wearing on the engines and the customer would get a new engine installed free of charge!





Anyone else hear about this?

Usually GM will look for something with issues to do that on, but not always the case. I have heard a few times of GM wanting some of the infamous pistons slappers in the 1/2 ton trucks back, with a certain amount of miles and no repair attempts made. They did the same deal, but were only doing it for 2 trucks, you can bet those two opportunities went very fast. Its likely they want to see the wear charecteristics and how they are holding up long term in a non-GM test. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif to GM if its true

it is a fact

it is a fact


funny thing is my dealer was all over me trying to find others,,,,,


like they really wanna see what is going on... wierd.


heck... they should just offer to buy the whole vehicle imho

the other thing it could be is the inject issue... why are Canadian trucks experiencing less injector problems than their American counterparts????

Because they'er used to the Clankers?

I ran into a guy who has a Chrysler 360 in a truck with over a million klms on it. Supposedly Chysler wants to buy the truck, to see whats going right in the engine. Supposedly no major repairs on the engine.

Maybe...........

Yeah, they want to know what's making them last. They want to know so that the new model will have the same thing........just lighter and thinner. Degragation of the auto enables them to meet production, lessons EPA and makes more money.


I had a 1989 Chevy stepside that had blown 8 of 9 trannies, 1 new axel, 2 rebuilt axels, numerious sets of tires and countless "idleing hours" in the field. ........ I traded that truck that had "0" engine repairs in 450,000 miles for a new one. Well, I traded @ 500k, after I replace the timming shaft.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Embarrased.gif


I think many of the cars and trucks we have today will last......... it's just that people expect too much from their auto. Most people think that the things will fix themselves if they are only "slightly" over on a check-up. Most folks just don't understand that metal does not regrow. Kind'a like........ "Well, it made it this far" or "It did it once, it'll do it again"
