Bad Cams?
What exactly does it mean when a dealer service
department says you might have "bad cams" and
need a new engine if the new oil pump installation
doesn't correct the low oil pressure? I know My
truck and I'm pretty damn sure it didn't have a bad
engine when I took it in. It had no engine noise, no
knocking, no lifter noise...nothing of the sort. Now
all of a sudden they're trying to put a new engine in
it? I should probably add that it was throwing a
code of P0521, which is a failing oil pressure
sensor. I don't even know if they ran the codes or
even checked that sensor before they jumped right
into replacing the oil pump and now wanting to
replace the engine. My confidence in them is crap
now and at this point I feel like they're taking me as
some punk female that doesn't know what I'm
talking about and will just fork over $11,000 to them
for this new engine (among other things the truck
"needed"). It's a 2014 Chevy Tahoe by the way. I
appreciate any input you guys have. Any advice for
me to helpI deal with this service department would
be great. This point I'm ready to send some of my
guy friends up there but I'd like to try to handle it
myself and not let them get one over on me.
Thanks!
