I was thinking of is it just flashes, but then I was like no way they flash the same thing for like 3 times in a roll.

Oh well, but your service history is pretty long. and u do have a reman engine and I think its going bad.

Just talked to the dealer.

Im getting a new engine!

Just like that. I have to wait 2 weeks though.
They said that the motor has NOT been replaced before, and that line item was some kind of check or something.


Now I need to do a search on Renesis break-in procedure.

nothing special about Break-In. Just be gentle on the motor for couple hundred miles with different RPM range. dont just keep it at 1 RPM for too long.

UPDATE

6/12/07
the dealer still has my 8. They have had it about 4 weeks now. They "say" that it should be done by Wed. this week. I have been driving the loaner this whole time (a Durango) and I am sick of it!!!

On the bright side, its going to be like driving it for the 1st time, all over again!

(Just venting, thx)
