thanks every1

First off For great info

Second back story....driving normal one day car goes into limp mode....throws MAF codes...TPS...etc. So i take it to GM to see if they can find the issue. Well 4 MAFS and 3 PCM's later...they cant keep the car running without the MAF begin plugged in. Anyways i told them from day one to check all the piping n IC...they said they did(Another Story). Today i wanted to swap out my back rims/tires so i match on my G5.....while in the air i took a walk up to the front of the car and look what i found



Nice crack.....

Total:
5 MAF's(1 by me 4 by GM)
3 PCM's
Hacked up MAF wires
New fuse box with fuses
Finding out i still have all my stock parts
Missing a car for a month
=Alot of $$$
Finding out the GM dont know everyhing=Priceless

Congrats!! I hate gm, it took them an hour and a half to change my front and rear bowtie.. and they still managed to make scuff marks on my trunk which I got out. It also depends on the dealer

I think I get a point for calling that one. Be sure to tell your mechanics that some dude on the internet figured out in 30 seconds what they couldn't figure out in a week.

Wow... so all the time spent messing with stuff and they didn't even so much as take a cursory check of the engine bay??? What are they teaching Techs these days??? That was the first thing I was ever taught my my pops. A 5 minute look over of the motor and its components, I would never take my car to that dealer again.

Your piping is not doing you any favors on the stock endtanks. I'm not surprised they cracked.
