Do not Buy from GearHead or ATK Engines!!!
|
I purchased an engine for a 1996 GMC Sierra 2500 which is a 5.7L 350cid and it was defective from start-up!It had noises from the very first start-up. I did some checking for proper valve ajustment and could not eliminate it. I called ATK and they had me do a whole list of checks to pin point problem but we could not isolate it to specific cylinder so they finally told me to send it back and they will check it out and determin if it is coverded under warranty. Well waited a while to hear from them and when I did they made a totally crazy diagnosis. They tried to say engine failed from fuel washdown in cylinder number 2 I think it was which I did not agree with at all being the engine was noisy on startup and if that was the case it should have had a misfire on that cylinder but didn't it ran great besides the internal noise. Just to get another opinion I talked with two techs from different shops both agreed that it highly or almost impossible to happen rite on start-up.So we argued back and forth and they said no warranty! Now installed a GM Reman with same injectors and no problems Engine is Great! So never never waste money on ATK CRAP IT IS PURE JUNK!!!
