Well, I just wanted to share my joy's with everyone. The EP is back in service after getting a new motor at 20,000. I still cannot believe the warranty covered EVERYTHING (Even the tow!).

They were nice enough to throw in the tranny service and a few other freebies. Huge thumbs up for the dealership. Now for the ever so important break in period again....

The only question I have is if the ECU is still reflashed after all the work performed. Not sure if they did anything to the ECU after the engine blowing. Obviously, I don't want to rev that high on the new motor. Hmmm...

Congratulations OOOgalicious!!! :D
Great to hear that you are back and running!
Just be sure, like everyone said...to break everything in good...all granny style. When the time comes you can take it up a notch. You'll have this car for a while, might as well break it in right and enjoy it later on!!
