Supercharger is warrantied for 10 years or 120,000 miles, this is what's known as a "special policy".

I think some people are missing the fact the warranty is for 2012 and 2013 ZL1s (without modifications).
I haven't seen any information the exact date the coupler was changed to the solid type. Guessing it was after OP's was build Nov 2013 but his car is a "2014" so no extended warranty coverage. Must be why they are only paying part of replacing it. We all agree they should pay the full replacement cost but warranty work has always been unpredictable and often not fair. If it just started making the noise the blower itself is likely ok and a coupler only changeout would last many years and miles. At a fraction of the cost of replacing the entire unit. |

It's those that have had the repair done, that get the extended warranty.

The Extended Warranty is for all vehicles stated in the Special Bulletin not limited to those that had been repaired, and I had confirmed this in the past with Warranty Claims. SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT This special coverage covers the condition described above for a period of 10 years or 120,000 miles (193,000 km), whichever occurs first, from the date the vehicle was originally placed in service, regardless of ownership. Dealers are to replace the supercharger. This repair will be made at no charge to the customer. For vehicles covered by Vehicle Service Contracts, all eligible claims with repair orders on or after May 23, 2014, are covered by this special coverage and must be submitted using the labor operation codes provided with this bulletin. Claims with repair orders prior to May 23, 2014, must be submitted to the Service Contract provider. |

I think they will tell you it's based on model year, not when car was produced.

If you have to pay just take it off and send it to jokesz for a full port and rebuild for less then $2,600

I fixed it myself.
Chevy would not budge. It took me the weekend to do it as when they say it is a two-hour job that is when the SC is out of the car and sitting on your bench. It involved removing the front bumper assembly to drain the heat exchanger. Unhooking everything on the SC. Removing the SC lid and loosening all of the SC to head bolts to lift the SC about an inch to pull the snout out. The coupler was a solid piece (no spring) that fell out of the snout when I puuled the snout off the SC. Imput the snout onto the SC and it was very extremely loose with a lot of slop (for me). It was equally loose on the snout. There was also fine-sawdust/powder like material in the area of the coupler. I cleaned everything, lubed the bearings, and installed a Lingenfelter coupler which was very snug/tight on the snout and SC with no slop/play and had to be persuaded on. Bottom-line is it does not make any rattling noise and runs better after I cleaned everything to the SC blades. |
