Has anyone had difficulty getting GM to replace a failed oil pump? a new thread was started with a fellow member getting pushback regarding oil pump replacement. Has GM said they would not honor warranty due to oil filter not being applied correctly or the car being tracked?

I'm very glad I had the new pump installed. I never worry about being stranded or destroying my engine. |

I’m actually thinking of going to a local speed shop. Florida High performance. They have a great reputation and think the owner is a great guy. I don’t think I’m wanting to add horsepower, I don’t really race my car and I’m wanting reliability more than anything. I’ll keep this car until I can’t drive a 3 pedal car anymore. Unless it’s absolutely ridiculous to do this and not add some power. I actually also don’t want to spend a ton of money either as I have a OBS truck that also needs a few projects this year and would like to do both.

Pauly, I am also looking for reliability. I was thinking of maybe a strengthened cam and chain. I’m having a tough time finding a reputable shop or dealership to do the work in the Baltimore area.

We are pretty lucky here is Florida. We have a few shops that are very capable. I’m wouldn’t be opposed to a cam also.

My 2017 oil pump failed in 2020, GM denied the warranty , started litigation in early 2020, finally signed a hefty settlement yesterday after 4 years … these companies that know they have a defective product are banking on folks not having the time or energy to fight them in court and be without a car for years … usually they are right , not in my case
Since 2017/2018, they have had over 9 revisions of the oil pump , the most recent versions are stronger than the originals, but still weak. Beat of luck to anyone still dealing with this … I miss my ZL1, but moved onto a c8 stingray and now C8 Z06, so all’s well that ends well

Several revisions of those DCTs already too. I owned a 2020 Stingray, I never had any issues but only had the car for a year. I now currently own a 2023 Z06, no issues so far, but only 2300 miles on the odometer.
