not to mention the GM motor group has no problem with a returned motor from their pre install dept that failed testing making it your crate -- bean counters are involved with all of it JS is correct -- of the ones we have seen only a small percentage have actually worked for any real length of time -- with out some strange issue involving removing it and getting into a major inspection to fix it -- but i do know some guys will swear buy them -- not me --jz
