My last 8 digits are 868xxxxx, so does that mean I'm not in the high risk group? What's the PI?

Steve check your vin # again ,I think you have a early build,it should start with 6******* not 8*******.


Also for those getting close to 50K (at least a year or so for me)
Is there a check we can do ourselfs(like compresion test ?) to see if head is starting to go before warranty expires ?

442 - Thanks for the pointer. Correction, my last 8 digits of my vin are 6810xxxx, so that does put me in the higher risk group. My rig was purchased in early July 2005.

Compression check could show problem. Wouldnt hurt to know the numbers to look for . If its still running smooth the numbers will probably be close on each cylinder. Im going to check mine this weekend in our garage. Were doing a test and tune on our late model stock car so the shop will be all mine. Im getting terrable MPG. My service rep at my dealership has been top notch , but when I take it in Ill allready have info on compression to compare with what they find. Good luck fft

I have a sept 05 build. vin: 6816xxxx. 13.5K miles. (Brace for impact) Head might go! Oh well. I drive pretty casually. not rough on her during break in. We'll see how it goes.

Mine is 6816blahblahblah AND I have started getting rough idle (and it stalled this morning trying to take off w/it cold). no check engine light yet, but sounds like I might go to dealer now to see if they can diagnose it early...
