  1. Obviously aftermarket Reman. GM doesn't use heat tabs. Aftermarket misassembly . 4 mile failure in a New vehicle, claim needs ck'd out
    91
  2. This $30k repair seems more misguided trust combined with fraud as it's source. Any used diesel engine should have oil diagnosis B4 pymt unless sold as damaged. A check of owners media for vehicle's abuse is another EZ test. Many post burnouts,etc on video 'Shorts'

  3. The E Norm Us diesel repair cost here is good reason large gas engines are best for non commercial power needs. Ford's 7.3 gas Godzilla is good example

  4. Fords Godzilla 7.3 ICE option for F250-up is munch lower cost , high torque alternative for non commercial HD use

  5.  @viking.200  Ya, this Story is alot like the ones from President Musk's frontman

  7. Customer must Bury $30k in Repairs B4 Coffin's ready

  8. Ya, That Unneeded Walking experience could tend sour product opinions

  9. Financial Liability is Yuge concern behind commercial shop decisions. One recheck can eat a month's profit
    3
  10. Customer lost all the money when engine failed. Now owns $10Kto$20K hole in finances if fixed or 10cents a lb lump of salvage. Nissan not known as Chrysler of Japan without reason.

  11. Watt do you estimate the bandaid fix costs?
    3
  12. $500 cash diagnosis deposit will be gone with all the Jack Around time on initial setup
    3
  13. This Cust is Used to Large Cost Repairs. Nothing's been said about non stock mods , but teardown indicates previous fixes may be partial cause. Abuse beyond design limits looks to be a factor. With today's liability concerns, partial engine o'haul seems too risky for the shop
    3
  14. That was Special
    2
  15. Why do the O.E. Rockers and beehive springs appear similar to GM LS engine parts ? Do they interchange?
    2
  16. Repairs on vehicle's with 'modified' emissions is a 'Slippery Slope' of EPA regs. Diesel Bros got their Tally Wackered big time over EPA mods
    2
  17. Comments about this shop as one of few capable of consistant quality don't bode well for public opinion of rampant incompetence in the vehicle repair industry.
    2
  18. 1st up is black oil that tells of no Maintenance Then .015" Frt 2 Back block deck ht variation tells obvious story that incompetence after GM built it is involved. A GM factory new LS3 with marine tune least costly reliable solution.
    2
  19. Dishonest seller is the only culprick here. Car make shouldn't even be mentioned, having nothing to do with the discvered fraud.
    2
  20. Next up is expensive Bank Acct 'Tune Up'
    2
  21. This seems a MB factory created nitemare, handed off by selling MB dealer to MB private shop now handed off to Machine shop. All handee's are getting a full dose of MB exclusivity. Sorta like a Poison Apple.
    2
  22. In this case , it's always more than vehicle's resale value.
    2
  23. The old BOAT Method. (Break Out Another few Thousand$$$$) Proven means of successful repairs
    2
  24. While that's not good , it shouldn't have any brng on stated issue.. Unless there's Zero in the oil pan. In Which case the solution would be simple (but pricey)
    2
  25. Wow, cost of fuel system fix probably exceeds vehicle value. This apparently Common CT4 failure jades any economic advantage of diesel use.
    2
  26. Sludge attack SeZ all. Only liability free solution is a fresh Engine , eh.
    2
  27. Wise Move .....
    2
  28. Who covers all the labor here if the customer isn't charged?
    2
  29. Was this T valve a fix for engine 'Run Away' ????
    2
  30. These are days of Roses for this shop. Monster repair invoices create yuge cash flo to keep well oiled shop humming.
    2
  31. Nissan dropped this option after 2019 due to several reliability issues. 10cents a lb is good price guide for used models now-a-days
    2
  32. Does this now create Expectation Nitemares for other shops , not to mention only billing 30hrs labor for a 90hr job. Need for Specialized equipment is also glossed over , ain't it , eh.
    2
  33. Another Multiple Hand Off deal that has a bad feel to it.
    2
  34. Looks like switch to big cube ICE engine (Godzilla, etc) is great cost effective damaged Diesel fix for many.
    2
  35. Debt Analysis best done b4 purchase of vehicles with sketchy Engineering, Reliability history, &/or expensive maintenance Current diesel offerings are poor choice for all but commercial, industrial, or High Income consumers. Large gas engines munch less costly, less costly maintenance due to simpler construction.
    2
  36. 6 figure diagnosis and engine replacement ?
    2
  37. Incompetence Rampent in Vehicle Repairs [& most skilled industry] due to lack of trained/experienced techs. This MB example shows just how true the problem is. Mite bee Excellent candidate for LS 3 Crate Repower. !
    2
  38. Probably saw very little Redline op , very little time @ WOT.
    2
  39. Ya, Owner's not exactly a wealth of information here . Like most , doesn't have a clue beyond turning the key , heading down the road, and then hopefully the brakes work.
    2
  40. Wooden pulling History, Pending ,Current codes be best 1st step after verified Crank, No Start ?
    2
  41. If this sketchy engine proves non viable after installing, is customer OK paying costs involved? That answer is key to proceeding.
    1
  42.  @davelowets  Mass production Nuclear power plants will be realized as only viable 24/7 lektrik source as Yuge A.I. power demands max out current availability , eh.
    1
  43. Engine is Junk. Get Phunny Feeler this is attempt to have Dave financially responsible for all/part of fix costs. Lack of updates isn't reassuring , eh
    1
  44. Ya , they did . Only 5psi . No flow rate check , tho
    1
  45. Watt was That ?
    1
  46. Rover Tech's comment indicates this Mfg's use of sketchy materials for critical systems. Apparently there's no updated part for common fail
    1
  47. Probably no ASE certs , either. Video of them removing engine ,no doubt, entertaining.
    1
  48. Sitting under/assembling unstable engine swinging on a chain (with no apparent Redundant safety backup?) seems a daunting task .
    1
  49. Really Good infomercial for attracting new shop customers. Few shops have the equipment &/or experience to do right by your broken diesel !

  50. It Should be Warranty unless intentional .
