Just got her back this afternoon. She runs great. Final bill was $3,400. Of that $1100 was for parts - head gaskets, 34 head bolts at $7 apiece, new waterpump (which was the most expensive part) and assorted hoses, serpentine belt, thermostat, gaskets, etc. Since this is a GM repair center all the parts were at list price. But if something goes bad, they cover the part and the labor to remove and reinstall. All in all, I got away reasonably cheaply considering a new engine would have added about $6400 more to that amount.
Before it could leave the dealer, the 80+ year-old owner had to test drive the truck. He has been running the dealership for the last 56 years and nothing leaves without him first approving the work.

I tried to buy a new truck from them in 07. Would not budge on the price snd not except a GM supplier discount coupon. Then would not trade the truck to the other dealer down the highway who would. Wound up buying a different truck from the 2 nd dealer. Maybe this is why they only fix and not sale new trucks.
