Either way, my ZL1 would be covered under the warranty--as long as the mod wasn't the actual problem.
That was refreshing to hear the service manager say that. I could tell he is a car guy and wanted to put me at ease. He manages the Chevy store and the Cadillac store across the street, so the guy is pretty busy and is responsible for a two large shops. However, not wanting to test his statement, I went ahead and decided to get it replaced.
I got the car back today and so far, so good. I drove it about 75 miles after I picked it up and I really opened it up a couple of times. Everything is tight and right. The car definitely feels better and so far it isn't making the "new" noise.
Anyway, I just wanted to share my experience with the Forum. Nothing new here, really. I'll keep my eye on it for a couple more weeks and then the mods begin.

Glad you got your car back and are happy again. I would ask the "service manager" to put that in writing regarding the tune. Did he explain that GM has in the past required the dealer upload your car's ECU data on warranty work. If he has a way to bypass it then you will always be covered as long as he works there.
