Fergie's in ICU

Oil? Oil is bad for the environment!

As long as you/he check and have good 710, good to go!

Excellent news on both the warranty coverage and the expedient repair schedule!

Today's good news: "They are working on it now. If we don't encounter any problems it may be done by the end of this week or early next week."

Kudos for having good dealer..... Wish all dealers were like this....

Well, about that. My nearby dealer (5 miles away) where I bought Fergie 2 years ago has not been treating me well for quite a while. So, I started buying parts at another one 29 miles away, and I chose to have them do the engine job. They are better but still somewhat vague and unresponsive. I didn't get a response to an email that I sent on Tuesday, so I feared that the message I got Monday was one of these:

I have three of my best guys on it - Search Videos

..., so, after still not hearing from them today, I decided to make the drive again, and here is the good news: she is in the shop, and there is a new engine in her:

..., but here is the bad news: the errant connecting rod hit the left side of the block so hard that it bent the left rear engine bracket, and they are waiting for a new one to come in. Sorry for the less than stellar photos of the bent bracket:

I'm glad things are going well. You've definitely found a good dealer and lucky you that it's in the shop so quick. I wonder what the cost of that engine is.

Less than 2 years since I bought it new, and 569 hours. Standard warranty on entire powertrain is 5-years/1000-hours. I opted for the extended warranty which is 10-years/2000-hours.

I thought standard was 2 years "bumper to bumper" (everything except battery!) or wear and tear like tires ... Then 5 years or 2000 hours on "drivetrain" whichever comes first ... ?

Perhaps ...

While up at the dealer today, I checked on the warranty terms. @Shawn T. W. is correct that the original drivetrain warranty is 5-years/2000-hours. The extended warranty I supposedly purchased would only increase that to 10-years but still 2000-hours. Still unclear if in fact I have that extended warranty.

Just to add confusion ... There is also a warranty that applies to "emissions" I don't remember if it is 3 years or 3000 hours ... About all I can imagine that could/would apply on our little engines is "possibly" the fuel injection pump and injectors, as they are part of what makes it "tier 4 compliant"!
