Dealer screwing me?
So I have the TSB 2046855 issue where the P1174 code keeps coming on.
The fuel injectors fail frequently, and it's because the fuel injectors must be replaced along side with a PCM recalibration.
Dealer says neither of these are covered under powertrain warranty.
Wants $90 to bring it in to "diagnose" and then $140 for ECM recalibration. He says new injectors aren't covered.
Are ECM and injectors covered?

I can see if you have aftermarket Injectors and an aftermarket Tune, with the exception of a GM Stage Kit for them to not warrenty it.
Id like to see the engine run withOUT the injectors, if it's not part of the engine.

DING DING DING!
Dealers get paid "book cost" for warranty work, GM does NOT pay the posted shop rate. There is little (if any) profit in it.
I too am confused by the way they determine if something is covered under the powertrain warranty. Like insylem said, you show me how this thing will run without injectors........or a throttle body, or an intake manifold, or an ecm.......

Anyone know someone at a dealer which wants to earn a customer instead of kick them back?
They sure don't seem to want business. No wonder so many dealers have folded in DFW.

are you guys ******* kidding me? do you not read the warranties?
COVERED:
Engine
Cylinder head, block, timing gears, timing chain, timing cover, oil pump/oil pump housing, OHC carriers valve covers, oil pan, seals, gaskets, turbocharger, supercharger and all internal lubricated parts as well as manifolds, flywheel, water pump, harmonic balancer and engine mount. Timing belts are covered until the first scheduled maintenance interval.
NOT COVERED:
Exclusions: Excluded from the powertrain coverage are sensors, wiring, connectors, engine radiator, coolant hoses, coolant and heater core. Coverage on the engine cooling system begins at the inlet to the water pump and ends with the thermostat housing and/or outlet that attaches to the return hose. Also excluded are the entire pressurized fuel system (in-tank fuel pump, pressure lines, fuel rail(s), regulator, injectors and return line) as well as the Engine/Powertrain Control Module and/or module programming.
STATES right in the warranty, the ECM and injectors ARE NOT COVERED.

On the flip side, if you have to BUY parts and PAY for service not only do they get a cut from the cost of parts but also have more buffer to charge you additional time for the work to complete without restriction.
