Update: So I guess the engine was 2 days delayed leaving Germany due to the computers crashing at the facility in Germany (so any one who was waiting on parts that were back ordered etc. they will be late too). Not a big deal though.. still waiting. the engine should have gone through customs and should be at the dealer or almost to the dealership by now.

I spoke with the service manager and asked him was part of the engine i was receiving (long block, short block as shown on real oem) as a request by a few users on here, and his reply was that i'm receiving a brand new replacement engine. The engine is complete and ready to drop in, 0 miles-0 hours. 2 year warranty unlimited mile warranty. no complaints there.

After the conversation he asked me if there was any more work that I would like them to do while it is in there. So of-course I asked him if they could replace my rear air bags and compressor (with parts i have ordered from home). So he gives me a quote of $800+ for 6 hours of labor at $125/hr. REALLY?!! after all the shit they still arent going to try and make good on there screw up. So I was able to talk him down to 85.95/hr based on an advertised coupon a few months back (while my truck was waiting in there shop) that will still be 600+. what blows my mind is that i paid $390 to have my 2 front air struts replaced (just the bags) at a independent shop. Stealership defined!

Any ways I told him if they make it $500 then they have a deal, we will see if they buy it. In the mean time i cant wait to update all on my new and improved engine.

Also thank you for every ones input on oil changes I completely agree with all the comments made 15k miles per oil change is a ticking time bomb, im a believer of 7000-8000 miles per oil change on fully syn.

Ill keep every one up to date though.
