Re: Engine Questions >.>
I don't know (well I have some comparison vehicles :lol: ), I don't think I would want to learn engine removal on this truck, especially if you are not a car guy or want/have time to do it. If it's the mechanics first time doing a SyTy he might take longer (if doing the job right) as he is learning the ins and outs, so I would prepare for it costing more and not be mad at the guy
. I too think the hourly price is good! If the mechanic comes here for tips though I think we should charge him for the answers :lol:.

Re: Engine Questions >.>
There might be some other GM Certified owners here that can say, but I remember the guys I know saying under warranty work (like while a Jimmy was under warranty) that they only got paid for "X" amount of hours for a job, no matter how long it takes, so GM mechanics have a good motivator to get good and fast at their jobs :lol: I would have liked to watch and learn from a few of them doing a Jimmy or Ty! I knew a guy who would smoke at doing work and crank out warranty jobs faster than the quoted hours to do the job and made some good coin. I wonder what the R&R quote is for this engine at the dealer or in the Mitchell manual?

So for 3's sake. Your going to give him $600.00 to yank the engine. Then your going to have what ever done to it, and then pay him another $600.00 + to put it back. That's a fair hunk of change. Buy a chiltons book and spend a weekend and do it your self. Get a friend to help you. Bag the items, make notes. It would save you some money.

I think he said he is just not a car guy, no problem with that, I am not a lot of things, so shopping for someone to do it is where he is at. If Southfield Michigan is near the Detriot area, there should be lots of places to pick from, maybe some that know the SyTy too. Jim Stokes is in Milford but not sure he is still messing with these, or his fee cheap.
