Does the warranty cover the oil pump? If so find Jasper’s website and see if they have a directory of Jasper licensed repair shops in the area. I know theres several shops around here that are Jasper licensed but cant think of them off the top of my head. ---

fuck those guys. I bought my '93 S10 from a dealer that used them for warranty work and it took them 3 times to find a coolant leak and they told me they were replacing the clutch but they took it somewhere else. Atleast the other place was able to fix it. ---

i can do that oil pump job if you want. pm me if interested. feel free to ask some people around here for a reference. you can start with engineer13teg sp? on here, i did a clutch/flywheel for him most recently. i prefer to use OEM parts for replacements bro, and i can get them at a good price.
