The only new engines that you can get from GM parts are the performance engines at GM Performance Parts. They cannot be used in warranty repairs.
If it is a complete engine assembly, which would have everything including the sensors, injectors, manifolds, water pump, wire harnesses, etc.. it is a production line engine, meaning it is sent to the dealer straight off the factory assembly line. These engines are sent to the dealer by GM Technical Assistance with the aid of the local Chevrolet rep.

Well the final verdict was that the dealer ended up putting in a new motor (complete). They recieved authorization on tuesday, new motor came in yesterday and installed this morning. When I left the dealer this afternoon they were pulling it in the shop to fix the window problem. They assured me this will not happen again and GM even gave me a extra warranty and 6 months reimubursment on my car payments. I should be picking it up tomorrow afternoon... wish me luck.....lol
Glad to hear this story has a happy ending!

well my luck hasnt change... On sunday my fuel pressure line ruptured and started leaking fuel. I had to get it towed to the dealer... the dealer informed me that it will take 4 days for the line to come in. They are not sure how it happened but speculation has it that the line must have been hit or pinched during the engine install.... go figuare... thats my luck.

Google time: State and Lemon Law.
Also check with your states Attorney General Office.
Lemon laws vary from state to state. Washington is 2 repairs for serious defects, 4 repairs for a "nonconformity" or if the car is out of service for more than 30 days.
If the dealer installs the motor incorrectly and pinches the fuel line, that does not exempt the repair from counting against a warranty claim.
As much as I think this phrase is over used.... see an attorney. A fuel line burst is a very significant and dangerous event.

Ive looked into the lemon law for texas... the only problem I forsee is that they will only give me what the car is worth at the time I file it. Currently the book value is around 14,000.00 and I bought it for 16,500.00 . I will not take a loss for somthing that isnt my fault.

10,000 miles divided by 120,000 miles (life expectancy of a vehicle per texas) would equal .083 for usage. You then take the .083 X $20,000 (purchase price) which equals $1660 in usage. So you would get $20,000-$1660=$18340. Now if you were upside down in your trade-in they will deduct that. As far as an warranties or gap you bought you would have to seek a refund for the unused portion on that. Also rebates or incentives are subtracted before purchase price is figured.
You can input your own dollar and mileage to get to the number you would be eligible for should the arbitrator rule in your favor.
Texas lemon law is only in effect for new vehicle purchases.
