Ironclad Engines

I am now on engine number 3!!! First one locked up going down the highway, second one started leaking oil like a sieve, and now the third one took six weeks to receive and get installed and this is in less than 2 years.

DO BETTER!!

And, labor only reimbursed at $50 per hour. No service costs this now!!!

WARRNETY CLAIM # WC-121709. I ordered my engine through Napa Auto in Tifton Ga on 9/19/22 Phone #229382**** Eng was received and taken to shop where Eng would be installed at BB AUTO Phone # 229382****.

BB auto says that Eng was not getting oil pressure . After about a week Dwight calls shop and talks to MARK TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND tells him to try another oil pump. Well, the way I see it is I paid $4500 for an Eng that has o miles and should be working. Would you want to repair an Eng that now that could be damaged having no oil pumping through it.

So, this is where we are at waiting on Dwight (Ext#3132) to call us back. If I had known what was in some of the revewis about these Eng I would have looked else where.

My truck has been sitting in the shop now for 3 weeks and the shop has told me I am holding them up and no telling how much more he is going to charge me because of of a faultey eng. Please send us a replacement eng so I can get my truck .

i ordered a engine and installed it after engine warmed op had no oil pressure at stop lights checked with a manuel gauge had the same thing talked to a company rep he said to over fill it by five qts of oil wanted me to remove oil pan install a new oil pump dip tube .got second engine had same problem talked to factory rep said i had the wrong distributor in engine there isonly one distributor made for this engine acording to several auto parts stores the he suggested i put a newoil pump in motor of course at my expense got engine#3 same problem had to argue with manufacture all along to check cam bearings still have no auto to drive and they have my money was told by factory rep they could not compensate me for expences because of state law checked with state nosuch law exists.

Has anyone tried to get reimbursed for a rebuilt Napa engine since the replacement engine Napa sent is also defective? Vehicle is now sitting at repair shop since April not running, 2 full days of labor charges outstanding and repair shop is not at all interested in putting in a third.

I live on an island in Alaska with a few repair shops. I plan on going to Napa store in hopes of getting a refund for the first engine.

We purchased an engine from our local Napa store and opted for the expensive engine for the better warranty, so we thought. We are having trouble getting the lifters on the #8 cylinder to stop making lifter noise. After 3 attempts and several hours latter we decided to replace all of the rocker nuts with the thinking that they usually don't replace them. this was the advice of a certified GM mechanic. The lifters came loose again even sooner than before, so we took it to the local Chevy shop and they had determined after inspection that several rocker bushings were scorned or wore badly.

Ok so they send up the parts from Texas we pay the shop $300.00 and that still didn't stop the noises. Upon completing a full compression test they discovered that the #1cylinder has low compression. We then called Ryan at 800-831-**** x2 Napa Ironclad and he wants us to send our engine to him at no charge but if they determine that its not there fault then we pay to have it shipped back and forth to us and get to buy another motor.

The local mechanics Vanoy Chevrolet 641-623-**** of Montezuma, Iowa upon his request have determined it is faulty and that the warranty should be honored.

My local Napa store owner has told me they have had trouble with Ironclad and has asked is regional manager to stop carrying there product. The local Napa store 641-623-**** owner is being very helpful with this situation and understands what is happening and will most likely be cleaning up ironclads mess financially if they don’t. Since the local Napa owner knows the local mechanics personally that worked on my suburban, they are in agreements the warranty should be fulfilled.

I have been inconvenienced for months with this and have now spent more money than they will ever repay.

Thanks Ironclad of Napa.
