[QUOTE="C7Driver, post: 68495, member: 2069"] Why worry about it , you have a 5 yr , 160k km power train warranty. In my case I have 7 yrs as I bought an extended warranty. Bound to be some issues with a new engine. Remember there are probably 40k or more out there, these are also going in trucks so GM will have to figure it out. It's not like were driving airplanes that could fall out of the sky. So far I have read it seems to be the Z51's but I'm not sure that is the case for all. I do feel better that I changed my oil and filter at a 1000 miles. Hard to know if this is machining contamination when they build them or it is coming off the parts as they mesh in a new engine, might well be a supplier issue such as bearings. GM will certainly be on it. I remember about 15 yrs or so ago when Ford came out with their Triton engine I was in the Windsor engine plant and there were probably a 100 or more motors on the floor, all tagged and being inspected. Those were all failures the first year out on a new design, shipped back for strip down and diagnosis. I myself had a engine replaced on a new 99 Ford Winstar after 5k, it was not a Triton engine though. [/QUOTE]
