It is a long story but I had an injector failure that caused a hole in a piston and blowing oil out the rear main. The engine had to be totally replaced. They came back and blamed the Tune as to the failure. I don't want to get into that because I am now doing some research to find out if anyone else has had or knows of this type of failures. Here is what I know.
There was one other person that had the exact same thing happen a couple months before mine. The mileage was similar (36k) the injector failed and caused a hole. GM replaced the motor under warranty.
Mine happened at 22k in the same manner. Loss of power, shaking and oil pouring out. They came back and told me the computer said failure of #3 injector. They denied the warranty claim due to the tune. I had to pay the 15,000 to replace. The part that makes me pissed (all of it really) is that it took 3 months to get the truck back because, and this comes from the service advisor, they were waiting for the new injectors. He got a memo that GM was not only changing the injectors they were changing MFG of the injectors and there were none available anywhere. This tells me that there is a major problem with the old injector MFG and the injectors.
I need to know if anyone else knows or has had an issue.
