My truck is no longer with me...

... that's because it's actually at the Chevy dealership right now getting WARRANTY work done. That's right, I said WARRANTY!

In the past week, the truck has started blowing a puff of smoke on startup after it's been sitting for a while. It's also half a quart low. This past saturday, I took the plugs out, and it turns out cylinder 2 plug is covered in oil. I replaced the plugs, ran it 100 miles, pulled the plugs again, and the same thing. I figured it was time to take it in.

After about 30 minutes of arguing with a moron service adviser about the meaning of the word WARRANTY, he finally agreed not to charge me for the diagnostic. You see, I have a GMPP crate motor with about 2000 miles on it. I got it from Jegs, but it has a factory warranty with GM. The ****ty part, is that because I installed it myself, they won't warranty labor, only parts. So if I had, say, a bad piston ring in number 2, they would hand me a $5.00 set of rings for it, and say good luck! I sure hope it's something like a cracked head, so I can still replace it myself fairly easily.
