I've NEVER been upset with a GM dealer for covering things. I bought my 2000 T/A used. I knew the guy before me had done a few things to it (Borla tips, carbon fiber air lid, chrome hood struts and latch). Well, gong down the road, I threw both belts. Come to find out, my harmonic balancer had come apart. So, being that it is still under an extended warranty, I gave it to the dealer. About 2 days later, I got a call from them. They said that they really don't cover non-factory parts. I told him that, while I had suspension and exhaust work, that really shouldn't have affected the balancer (sort of the same arguement I made before). Then, he tells me that it is an aftermarket balancer. It turns out the guy had installed an ASP pulley! Well, either the guy felt sorry for me, or he was just really nice. They replaced the pulley with a stock unit!! Sure, I gave up a bit of power, but I didn't have to pay a dime over the $50 warranty charge. Now THAT is what makes me loyal!
