This is a good question.......

Who has actually initiated a warranty on a GM crate, what does it take, how is the mileage accounted for? I can't believe GM would just take someone's word of mileage on a failure. How do you or GM prove bad cam VS operator error on break in? Two years down the road how do you or GM prove bad parts or lack of maintenance, or abuse for a failure? I've heard but have not seen, fine print limits what cars the warranty applies to. I know these crates are pretty much bullet proof and I have not heard of any failures but I would like hear about any direct experience.
