When this problem happened i took it to my local mechanic because my oil pressure alarm went off and i shut the motor off. My mechanic ran a oil pressure check and found nothing wrong with the oil pump, finally did a smoke check and found that there was a spun cam bearing. The mechanic called the local Chevy dealer to see if they could extend the warranty because i only had 73,000 miles at the time and to make a long story short they said what they would do was chevy would pay half and i would pay the other half, now here is what really made me MAD, my half of the deal was $6000 and chevy was going to pick up the other $6000 that meant to install a short block it was going to be 12,000 dollars. I guess you know what i told them. My mechanic found me a 2006 motor with 35,000 miles and life time warranty with a 1 year mechanic warranty for $3500 install well guess where that motor sits today.
I filled a complaint with GM which did no good and all i can say is that i have a very good mechanic. Not so sure that my next vehicle will be a chevy.
