Rays B4U Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 my truck is still under warranty its goin to a motor shop tormorrow i will find out if i get approved for the work to get done by the warranty company im goin to get it fixed bofore i trade it in If it blew because of a mechanical defect and not because of your driving style/and or lack of maintenance is the rest of the truck in good shape? If the rest of the truck is in good shape and they give you a new engine under warranty I'd say keep the truck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a class action lawsuit with these motors and piston slap and a few guys have dropped valves on stock motors, so maybe you can argue something once you find out exactly what happened. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyg Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 I haven't owned an LSx engine that hasn't had the piston slap yet. I really hope the SS is the exception. Makes me nervous considering my very near future plans for mine. GOOD LUCK on the warranty stuff, I've got a few days to seal the deal or lose the $2,200 price for it. I think its a lot more anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuel123disuza Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 the reason for locking up could be low or no oil and seizing the internal bearings overheated and burned out the starter.......as far as i know this could be the reason....so try to avoid it....
