Which part exactly covers Magnuson Moss protecting you when you squeeze more power of a drivetrain than it's supposed to output, or re-do the mapping on the ecu that their engineers had originally done?

I certainly didn't gather that they didn't look into it at all, perhaps you should re-read stew's posts.

I think he said that right here! I mean unless im reading it wrong!

Uhm, they saw what was on the car and pulled the motor apart. Were you expecting something like you saw on CSI?

What they did was pull the head off (ONLY the head) to look for reasons why the LOWER end of the motor broke. They looked at the clean piston TOPS and said "detonation". I said there was no detonation to me and had a few independant mechanics back me up. Why would you not AT LEAST pull the oil pan to see why a ROD broke? Then they claimed, "Well, maybe there was no detonation, but we're not covering it anyway."

Also, it was not the dealership techs that made the detonation claim OR instructed what to be torn down, it was the district representative, who is not technical at all. They basically just pulled a few pieces off the motor so it would be enough for the average joe to assume their conclusion wasn't 100% made up.

There was obviously no ACTUAL attempt at a diagnosis.
