I think I heard something like that?If you could get a vehicle that hasn't had an engine failed (yet), you'd be replacing the crank and bearings at minimum. If the engine already failed, then you will be looking at a 5.3 (or whatever is out there in the junkyards) or a 6.2 shortblock, right? I'm sure at some point, someone will be producing NEW blocks and rotating assemblies to be drop-in replacements for those that get denied coverage, for whatever reason(?) I mean, surely "some" of these vehicles will be worth being put back on road? I can't imagine folks junking, otherwise serviceable vehicles? Engine replacement doesn't necessarily mean vehicle is sent to the crusher.</blockquote>
