Hi `Dustin, It's great to read that they are going to get you another engine with lower miles. I hope that it's a good one, and will they also give you a warranty of this one ?

I know that it has to be stressful, but I'm happy that you are keepin your Monte & not risking getting the Pontiac that you mentioned b-4...Look 4ward 2 your updates....Good Luck

Dustin - Bummer that you have to go through this again. Is the labor for the swap-out covered under warranty as well??
