There's a good foot or 2 between the car and the garage

 

dang this sucks for you to, i know im getting a nother motor but i think im getting a rebuild, with a year or 2 warrenty. but your pics and everything look just like what my truck did. it SUCKS...same here no noise no nothing. just a shake a smoke...

 

I didn't get any smoke... The only sign anything went wrong, was oil leaking down...

The top end of my truck is still clean.

Then I took the skid plate off...

 

my smoke was from oil hitting my exhauset pipieing...thats all it was from,..

 

Kinda figured that

My truck hadn't hit operating temps yet, lol.

 

yeah mine was, but then again my is at operating temps befor i get outa my driveway...

 

why didnt you barter for a 5.7?

I wonder what a new 4.3 is worth from GM....

 

not sure about from gm, but this samething happend to me on the 29th, my thred a few down from this one anyway....

i found a rebuilder here (missouri,USA) that sells them he said Oilpan up, everything but the stuff off the forunt of the motor. for $2850.00+tax which is 8.1% ($230.80). which is $3080.85. and that is 0 miles. only thing used on it is block, which he says is slieved? . eveyrthing else is new. and that comes with a wrighten 2yr, 24,000 mile warrenty.

 

$2158 according to GM Parts Direct, lol.
