POP and dealer POP questions

[Jeff H]

But the dealer had the equipment to emboss the VIN so could they also duplicate most of the original information if they wanted to?

Jeff, They did do the replacement or later owners POP's if the warranty was still enforce but I dont think their equipment was set up to do multiple lines. In other words they only could emboss on the top line of the POP.

They probably could, but most service managers weren't going to. Keep in mind that the engine replacement would have been covered under the new vehicle warranty. The fact that a part was replaced under a factory warranty meant that the part was good for the remander of that warranty, or 12 months, 12,000 miles if it was replaced with less than the actual warranty on the part. There wasn't a huge need to document on the POP the actual numbers, since that replaced part carried the remainder of that warranty. Today if a part is covered under warranty then it will carry the remainder of the 3/36k. However if the part is replaced at 35999 it would have a 1 year or 12,000 warranty, which can go outside of the 3/36k factory warranty. Sort of complicated hmm..??

Jeff,
Dealers only made the replacement POP's. They have very little info on them.

Dealers didn't have the Addressograph equipment to make P-O-P's; when a replacement was needed, the dealers submitted the info to their Zone Office, and the replacement plate (with very little info on it) was made there or at Chevrolet Central Office.

Original was done at the assembly plant and generated from the broadcast sheet, look in any assembly manual, it shows it.
