The part is under warranty whether you buy the parts elsewhere or from them. Thats BS. I bought mine online and had it installed at our dealer. Its under warranty no matter what. Sounds like a clueless dealer and I wouldn't have it done there either.....

They're full of ****.
I drove from Clinton, Mass down to Newburg, Ny to get mine done because the local dealers are all on crack.
They had done some before mine and had good recommendations from forum users.
No problem whatsoever.
Call GM and ask if dealer so and so and the others are right or if they're trying to make up policy against GM.
GM is who says yay or nay not some local schmuck.

Barton Birks clearly stated that they did not care if I brought the part in from another supplier, so as long as it was a genuine GM part. And the warrantee would follow my new car powertrain warrantee.
Re Barton Birks, IMO they now have a great service dept, but their sales dept are crooks.
