A few weeks ago, I went to start my 2012 S10 (70,000 miles on the clock) after work and got nothing. It would crank but wouldn't turn over. After checking out the forum, I thought that it might be a "hard start' issue. Tried all of the tricks and still nothing so I trailered it to the nearest dealer.
Dealer diagnosis: CCT failure with an unknown amount of mechanical damage to the engine. At this time, the dealer is telling me that it could be up to $9,000 to fix it (which seems to me to be the "we don't want to mess with it" price).
So, I'm looking for options. I'm working out of state for the next month and this is my sole mode of transportation so my options are limited.
Right now, I'm leaning towards finding a used engine and having it swapped out.
Thoughts?
