That is Exactly what I am going to tell them. I practically told the manager that today.
I could hear in his voice and with his words that he knows it needs new lifters, but they really do not want to replace them.
I don't know why any dealer service department wouldn't do a warranty job if the tests per the Service Bulletin says it needs new lifters under warranty. Are they just lazy?
They get paid for warranty work.
My father made a similar comment. I did read on some GM forums that according to some posters who worked or knew someone in the service department that GM pays Less what a customer will pay. I am not sure how much truth there is to that, but it is all I have.
I bet if I wait until my warranty expires, May of this year, that they will say I have bad lifters and it will cost X.XX amount of money.
