Well I had a another service center talk to GM about it. His response was it will be the same pump put back in. It sounds like GM has a real problem getting their engine blocks cleared of manufacturing debris. The statement was the pump design is fine, on some engines that had debris in then they will finally build up after getting stuck in the relief valve and it will fail. Hope fully all engine debris are now gone and the second pump should not fail.
NOW go read about LT1 and LT4 failures which there have been many and GM has said they have had problems getting the blocks clean and debris are clogging the oil pumps and oil filters. Some reviewers Z06's even had major motor damage from this.
Granted car is under warranty and being fixed but sure the heck does not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. Has to make you wonder why GM dropped the drivetrain warranty from 100K to 60K miles.
