oops! my bad! March 31-that's what I get for paying attention! :clapping:

The extended warrenty I got from GM after I had the head replaced TWICE was only for the engine NOT the entire drivetrain. I asked for them to include the entire drivetrain but they would not do it.

hmmm, interesting since I know other posters on the topic have gotten the entire drivetrain. No biggie though, realistically the only thing you'd need to extend the warranty would be the engine (and I would have asked for the emmissions too, since bad valves may affect the cats if the problem is not fixed for a long long time).

I got the H3 back on Saturday (sooner than promised) and it immediately ran a little hotter than before the head replacement (just above the half way mark instead of just below). Took it back into the dealer this morning, they hooked it up and no codes showed up. The service guy said the new heads are prone to do that and not to worry unless it runs in the red. It's good to have it back and I hope it's a long time before I see the dealership again.
