A longtime friend of mine that I can totally trust, who owns and runs a race shop will be doing the swap once all parts arrive. I thought about doing it myself but would rather have a pro involved. This might be a total waste or it might be a genius decision. The piece of mind for me is beyond worth it and I don't trust the dealer to treat the car the same as my close friend or I would. I understand it is under warranty for a while and it will be covered if the pump fails in that time period. Problem then is the question of did debris get into the motor? Is there going to be other issues do to the pump failure and low oil pressure? You just know it will fail at the most inopportune time as well. I figure if I change the pump now with a much stronger unit, this (in my mind) practically eliminates the possibility of the failure occurring. It also ensures my engine sees no related future issues and the car sees no chance of abuse or accidental damage from the dealer.

If I owned a 2017 /2018 LT4, I’d feel exactly the same way. So, I couldn’t agree any more, with all of your points. Clearly a genius decision
I especially like the fact your friend is doing the work, that’s key.
