thewaterboy Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) I found this tonight and thought I would post it..... Whats your thoughts? Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-033 Identifying Aftermarket Engine Calibrations 2.0L, 2.2L, 2.4L, 2.8L, 2.9L, 3.0L, 3.1L, 3.2L, 3.4L, 3.5L, 3.6L, 3.8L, 3.9L, 4.2L, 4.3L, 4.4L, 4.6L, 4.8L, 5.0L, 5.3L, 5.7L, 6.0L, 6.2L, 7.0L, 7.4L, 8.1L Gas Powered Engines Only Models: 2006–2009 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks 2006–2009 HUMMER H2, H3 Excluding Pontiac Vibe, G8, Chevrolet Aveo, All Saturn and Saab Models Important: This bulletin applies to Gas Powered Engines ONLY. For Diesel Powered Engines, refer to Service Bulletin #08-06-04-006A. If a suspicious hard part failure is observed in the engine, transmission, transfer case or driveline, perform the calibration verification described to determine if a non-GM issued engine calibration is installed. Non-GM issued engine calibrations subject driveline components to stresses different than the calibrations which these components were validated to. Repairs to transmission, transfer case and/or other driveline components where a non-GM engine calibration has been verified are not covered under the terms of the New Vehicle Warranty. Instructions for Confirming Calibration Verification Number (CVN): 1. Go to TIS2WEB 2. Select "Calibration Information (SPS Info)" 3. Enter VIN 4. Select "Get Cal ID" 5. Select "ECM Engine Control Module" 6. Select "Next" 7. Select "Complete History" 8. Print 9. Take the printout to the vehicle along with the Tech 2® 10. Plug in the Tech 2® 11. Go to diagnostics and build the vehicle 12. Select "Powertrain" 13. Select "Engine" 14. *Select "Engine Control Module" or "PCM" 15. *Select "Module ID Information" or "I/M Information System" if module ID information selection is not available. 16. *If "I/M information System" was selected in step 15, it may be necessary to select "Vehicle Information" in order to display the calibration information. 17. Compare the calibration ID and Calibration Verification Numbers (CVN) to the Calibration Verification Numbers (CVN) on the printout. * Steps may vary by controller. Although the part numbers will be the same for each, it's the CVN that will determine if the calibration is GM issued. If ALL of the CVN's are EXACTLY the same, the calibration is GM issued. If the part numbers match and ANY CVN's DO NOT match the printout, it is likely that a non-GM certified calibration has been installed. If the CVN information is displayed as "N/A", it will be necessary to contact the TCSC to obtain the CVN information. If a non-GM calibration is found to be in the ECM (CVN's on the Tech 2 do not match TIS printout) - In order to document the case — a CLEAR digital picture should be taken of the Tech 2® screen showing the VIN and the CVN's that do not match the TIS2WEB printout. The picture, VIN and reason the vehicle is currently in for service should be emailed to [email protected] and STEVEN.R. [email protected] for verification. Please copy your GM District Service Manager (DVM) on the e-mail. GM will verify if the CVN's are not GM issued and respond via e-mail within 72 hours.

misterp Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 *yawn* old news; if you are worried about your powertrain warranty then save your original PCM and reinstall it before visting the dealer. Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wody Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 *yawn* old news; if you are worried about your powertrain warranty then save your original PCM and reinstall it before visting the dealer. Mr. P. legally they can't void the warranty unless they can prove that the tune caused the failure. but trust me that with the economy at its current state, lots or dealers won't just be giving away warranty dollars.

wdp327 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 google magnuson moss act of 1975 it states about warranty deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxerrider Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I would go with MrP and keep the stock PCM and swap out before dealer visit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slammedbowtie Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I would go with MrP and keep the stock PCM and swap out before dealer visit i also agree. its worth the little extra to keep the stock one. plus if you ever wanted or needed a stock one im sure it would be much more expensive than the core charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudy91040 Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 google magnuson moss act of 1975 it states about warranty deals. It's easy to say that. My buddies radix truck was at the dealership for over a month while the servicing dealership and the dealership that sold him the truck (radix was installed by selling dealership) went back and forth about coverage. To get it back to the selling dealership he would have had to ship the truck since it wasn't anywhere close to him. Even the Magnuson extended warranty didn't cover the damage since he didn't "break" anything, just burned up all the friction material in the tranny.
