I was reading the instructions for the stage 2 upgrade and it said you have to have a preformance calibration after the installation of everything.
I went to chevy to get a price check on how much that would cost and they have no idea what im talking about. any ideas??

 

you should be taking it to your chevy dealer to install the whole thing.
it should cost no more than $200-300 for the full install.

when its installed at the dealership, you get full parts and labour warranty for the remainder of your vehicle warranty.
if you install if yourself, even if they do the reflash, you only get 12 months parts warranty.

 

Go to a another dealer. It is a flash code for the PCM. Use the words flash code and they should understand, if not, go elsewhere. Good luck!

 

so yall are basicly saying if i do it myself it will void warrenty but if they do it it wont right? cause it was like 900 bucks for everything at chevy but i guess the install wouldnt be so bad im assuming they will flash it when they do the install??

 

They will do the flash when they do the install. But dont buy the kit from the dealership man they will rape you on the price. There is a brand new stage 2 kit on ebay right now for 380 Shipped. Or go to crate engien depot's web site, they offer stage 2 for 550$. Just buy the kit elsewhere and then go to the dealer to have it put in.

 

no it wont VOID your warranty, but it wont be covered the same was as if its installed by GM techs.


i mean really, think about it for a second, do you think GM wants to completely cover something YOU did in your backyard?
some retard could put the belt on wrong, miss/seat some injectors, blow some **** up, and they have to cover it? methinks not lol.

if you spend the money on Stage 2, you have already spent more than you had to, for the sake of covering your warranty. the stage 2 kit only has about $250 of parts in it.

so why spend the extra to save your warranty, and then cheap out and not get the full coverage you want by installing it yourself?

 

yeahh i was looking at that one on ebay but when i went to buy it it said the acution had endded so i guess ill keep my eyes open let me know if yall find anything please

 

Will do.

 

thank ya

 

ight guys here the deal I went to chevy asked them from a price on just the install the first guy didnt even know what i was talking about they have neevr heard of the part period so he goes to get the install manager he says he has no idea and he goes and talks to the master mechanic and comes back 700 bucks for install only and im like naa i dont think so and he said ya cause we have to take off the uspercharger to get th enew pully on and it runs high and i was like well the parts shop said 900 for install and part and he was like ya its a 200 part and i said no its like a 500 part..... so i have come to the conclusion they knwo nothing also i asked if it would void warrenty even if they did it he said ya it will void warrenty anyway so i dunno what there deal is im capable of doing it myself if fix airplanes for a living i prob could do this i just dont want the warrenty deal but if its ganna void it anyway....then why no i know more than chevy anywho theres a peice of the experienced mechanics

 

The dealership actually has an estimate of the time it will take to install stage 2. Anyway, go to another dealership. You need to go to one that has done stage 2 before.

The part from chevy itself is pretty darn expensive. Thats why most people here buy it from crateenginedepot for $550 or ebay. I would ask your chevy parts department to break down the price for you. How much is labor and how much is the part out of that 900? Sounds to me that the parts department is quoting a decent price on labor because they are looking at what it should take to do according to their system.

the mechanic dude is just blowing **** out of his ass.

 

ya there quoteing the system and the service told me they havent even heard of it and will be about 700 labor because they have to take off the supercharger

 

call around...that is your best bet.

i got mine installed for 250! US

 

where in texas are you? I know of 1 or 2 dealers that could do it around dallas.

 

im in midland.......middle of nowhere theres another dealer 20 miles away but i think they know less than this one. but does it still void your warrenty if chevy installs it?

 

no. GM stage 1 and 2 are covered for remainder of factory warranty after install.

 

thats kinda what i figured about how long do you think they will take if there not busy?? is it like a one or two hour job or an all day thing? or couples days??

 

If it is the first time they have done S2 I would give them quite a few hours to do it. If they have done S2 installs before I would think it would take no more than 2-2.5 hours.

 

ok.. i was just trying to see if i went to dallas and got it done it if would be a one day deal or if i need to drop the car off for a week ya know.....

 

i called the dealer in san angelo and they said they could do it and i asked for a quote on the install price os i knew exactly how much to save and they took my vin number and said they would have to call me back with the price so maybe i got some progress
