This was the correct outcome IMO. That engine was not going to live a good life after the antifreeze, dirty conditions, and multiple repair attempts. Let us know how it goes at the next dealer. Henna, Covert, or Autonation?

I had our Suburban's fuel pump replaced in Brenham, LaRoche Chevy. Great work, experienced techs, and you can watch them work through the glass in the waiting area.

looks like it might be Henna.

I'm supposed to find out today I believe. At least I hope because I am getting a little tired of waiting at this point.

Brenham Laroche is a great dealership. I live near there. They take good care of their cars and customers, or so I have heard.

Glad that this worked out for you Nutro..! Just curious folks, my 10' 2LT has less than 40K miles on it but it's past the 3 year mark (bought in 09'). Shoud I get an "extended" warranty..?

Thanks...!

I'm happy to hear everything worked out for you!

Will the motor be brand new? If so ask for a factory freak L99!

A motor that dyno's towards the higher end of the power spectrum.

Some stock LS3's dyno'd at over 400 hp to the wheels.

Those few cars that are "stronger and faster" than others

Good outcome. But it still sucks that Nutro had to kick and scream and if he hadn't got pics and made this public, Nash would have screwed him because they are not at all interested in making this right. Only when caught. They are only interested in covering up their mistake with a little financial burden to themselves as possible.

Yep. It's important that the internets don't forget that fact too.
