reman means rebuilt at the factory or by a company builder using a reconditioned used engine block

 

Yes, the service manager said to just bring in the truck, and that they are not very busy right now. He indicated that the block should arrive by Friday, and if so, they would probably have it done Monday or Tuesday.

My sense is that they are desperate for warranty work, as I have read that customers are cutting back on routine service from dealers in general.
