Re: 2006 Engine noise on acceleration
I brought it back to the dealer Tuesday morning. I had the Sales Manager, Service Adviser, Service Manager, and the Tech that will be working on it ride with me to hear the noise. They all heard it. I told them it has to be fully warmed up for the noise to appear. Today I went in to see the damage. Number 5 rod bearing was scored. They are replacing the crank shaft, main and rod bearings. If it threw the rod, and damaged the cylinder, they would replace the whole engine. They said the 6.0 motor is very reliable, and they never seen anything like this happen. Chevrolet is stepping up and paying for it under warranty. I'm glad to see Chevrolet, and the dealers are treating there customers better. I've been called by the General Manager a few times already to update me on the repairs. This is how they should have been from the beginning. Maybe they wouldn't be in as much trouble like they are. So far I'm happy.
