Under warranty then. Thank God. Still not convenient though. Nor a good sign.

It's under warranty, but he mentioned something about putting in a used motor, I told him it would be a cold day in hell before that happened. I guess we'll see what happens.

I don't know that much about engines but cranks don't usually break on a whim. All i can think of is that that particular crank had a bad spot in it, not balanced properly, or a leprechan jumped in there and beat it with a hammer. Thats BS that they would try to put a used motor in a brand new car. I feel for ya man, good luck.

GM is trying to put in a used motor, b/c according to them this car is not a lemon.

It's all good though, b/c now she has to drive one of my high hp vehicles, and they r all stick shift except my diesel, which she has had for the last few days. The other day I took the bird dogs out, and she had to drive the cobra w/ a pro-shifted tranny. haha She was pissed, I don't think she got it out of first. haha
