An LT4 crate motor is ~$14k, but I’m seeing about $9400 for a GM replacement engine. Still not cheap, but that’s an absolute worst case scenario. Unless you’re unlucky enough to have some freak failure that destroys the engine. I guess that would kind of suck.
For most repairs you’d go to a dealership for, having a tune is totally irrelevant. It might result in a denied powertrain warranty claim depending on the situation, but it’s far from black and white. Working in this industry for over 15 years, I’ve seen a lot of shit. Nobody is going to question a failed water pump, an oil leak, or other “normal” warranty issue. But come in with a rod hanging out of the block, and you’re on your own.
