YIKES... be carefull driving it... might want to consider having it towed man... don't cause more damage to it or your motor... not worth the risk. IMO

Car is at the dealership and they gave me a 2011 Silverado to drive around which is perfect considering the snow were about to get.

Everything should be covered under the powertrain warranty and if not im just paying my $200 deductible

UPDATE!!!

So im getting all 4 new injectors cus 1 was bad and theyre saying its causing it to burn oil but i call BS.

On a side not i have a hole in my cold side IC pipe the size of a dime. God damned AC condensor bolt rubbed it through so im not too happy about that. Hopefully they can adjust the intercooler and weld up the pipe.

But personally i still dont know whats causing the oil burning.
