2022 YUKON DENALI 6.2

[Doubeleive]

GM warranty wont cover vehicles that have a “Rebuilt title” since it was once considered a total lost for the insurance. My Yukon had rear end damage when I bought it from the auction. Doesn’t matter what type of warranty it is , they won’t cover it.

they don't know it has a rebuilt title unless you open your yapper and tell them, take it to another dealer if you already let the cat out the bag
when I take my vehicles to any dealer they dont run the registration thru dmv. they check the mileage and build date which is coded into the vin
so unless the vin was somehow flagged in the entire gm system they will have no clue what it's history is other than work that was previously done at a gm dealer

It absolutely gets flagged lol. The brand is electronically recorded against the vehicles vin. Any GM dealer will automatically know once they run the vin. The manufacturer warranty is null and void once it’s totaled out. No amount of keeping “your yapper” closed will keep them from finding out.

If you're having to pay for the replacement engine, go with the 6.6 L8T engine. It is made without AFM lifters. It is essentially a stroked and stronger 6.2 but can run on 87 octane. It is the engine that GM started using in their HD trucks in 2020. It would bolt right up to what you've got. Only change needed would be a custom tune.

run the vin where, you have experienced seeing this happen?

Auction does not 100% mean salvage or rebuilt.

Absolutely. They have access to NMVTIS - National Motor Vehicle Transaction System. A government repository. Once a vehicle is written off as a total loss by insurance; they’re required by law to report that information.

If I can go on Carfax(or any service like it) and pull up a vehicles brand history, then without question, a company like GM is going to know as well.

You act like we live in an age without databases or the internet lol. Don’t even have to be a dealer to know right away thanks to services like Carfax.

Anyways, yes. They have access to NMVTIS - National Motor Vehicle Transaction System. A government repository. Once a vehicle is written off as a total loss by insurance; they’re required by law to report that information.

that's not what I am saying, I am saying if you pull up to the service drive with a 2022 vehicle with 30k miles and report it is making some engine noise.
the dealer is not going to run the vin in anything than there computer. They arent checking carfax and all this other bull.
it's covered for the standard coverage, unless they learn otherwise. no matter who owns it. even if was bought and sold 10 times.....
so I take it no you have not experienced a situation where the service writer came out and said sorry we cant cover this because it was previously rebuilt.
they dont ask to see your registration or title or anything at all. they ask your name and telephone number. (contact information)
it doesn't even have to belong to me I could take yours in, without question.

While I don't 100% know if all dealership do it, or if its maybe just a Ford thing, but my sister was the service department manager of a Ford dealer for about 10 years or so. She said that when they zap the VIN sticker with their little gun it pulls up all kinds of stuff automatically that they most of the time don't care about. Things like who is the current registered owner, the current insurance company and who's name is on that insurance policy, and even if the vehicle is associated with any public safety alerts (like amber alerts or silver alerts).

Can't imagine that if they are force fed all that information without asking (it actually annoys the service writer because they have to click through all those screens to get to the screens they actually need), that they wouldn't also know the vehicle had a total loss/ branded title.

Lol and neither have you. Go ahead and try getting warranty service on a branded vehicle. It all has to get approved through GM - not a simple “oh you’re under X amount of miles and years so you’re g2g buddy!” No, every time you take your vehicle to the dealer, the first thing they do is scan the vin for recalls and title brands.

If it wasn’t enforced, then a lot more people would be buying salvage vehicles.

Here’s a perfect example if you don’t believe me:

gm doesn't zap anything, they plug in a obdii reader that pulls codes active or historic and the service writer prints it out. doing that also provides the vin & mileage
that's it. so unless someone went into the gm service computer and flagged the vin, they have no clue
