Just a thought - how would you make a claim with GM for the bad engine? If the engine is blown, wouldn't they claim low oil, low coolant, over revved, improper installation, etc.? How could you prove otherwise? Or is it a no questions asked, no hassle new engine replacement? I doubt it. People who buy whole new GM vehicles with engine trouble have trouble getting a replacement engine.
I would still go with a new GM engine over rebuilt any day, I just don't put much stock in a warranty.
So, drop the engine in a good rust free square on the US side and drive it across the border - take out the engine and sell the rust free parts, or sell your current truck.
