I just completed 2000 miles with my new engine in my GTS, but somehow I'm a little afraid to step on it. The first engine blowing up at 1500 miles did not help...

Nail it, it's under warranty. These engines are very reliable. You had a fluke.

Just curious, they did not reset the odometer when they replaced the engine? does it not say 3520 miles?
