    Occasional light lifter tick starting

    Thanks for the info on the pushrods, I wasn't considering they were even worn but with only one turn of preload, that definitely makes their length quite critical and worthy of checking. Now I need to buy another tool. ;)

    Front seal replacement question

    2012 Yukon Denali 6.2, I believe the harmonic balancer does not use a keyway? Can I use the teeth on the flywheel to hold it or is there a better method? Is the balancer bolt RH or LH thread, torque value? I figure others can use this reference as well. Thanks

    A heads up for y'all.

    Very good point. Coincidentally, our 2015 Impala with the 3.6 V6 developed a very slight flair at times and after some digging, we discovered that the intake boot was torn in the flexible portion. This made the PCM think the airflow over the MAF was low, thus a lower load and lower trans...

    Need help debating new wheels

    I was able to have both LH wheels properly addressed in the area of the bead today, they did a great job. So for now they are GTG but moving forward I might still change to the 20's. I really love the look of these wheels I have and they fill the fender wells very nicely. However, the tires are...

    Need help debating new wheels

    If anyone has pics to share feel free, curious to what some have done to their Yukon as far as wheels go. Looking for polished 20", probably won't go with 22's again but I bought it this way. I do like these 20" wheels from the Silverado, closest I've found to what I have so far.

    Occasional light lifter tick starting

    I agree with all of that. In my case however, this is the first time these valve covers have been removed since new. There's very little preload on these lifters, and the worn trunion removes most of that lash. These rockers get tightened to 22 ft.lbs, there's no backing off or adding preload...

    The pushrods are OE with 150K miles. The trunion on #3&5 exhaust had a bit more play than the rest. I can see how a longer pushrod can wear the rocker, but how did they grow? Deformation from my understanding would shorten them correct?

    Need help debating new wheels

    I love the optional OE 22" wheels on our 2012 Denali, but.....after replacing 2 already, I have the other 2 leaking air at the bead, forgive the dirty wheels, been cold and nasty here. Maybe if I can find 2 more I will keep them, but they aren't cheap, IF I can find them. Bead sealing...

    Occasional light lifter tick starting

    The LH side started ticking a few weeks ago, I figured if the RH side was ticking the LH wasn't far behind. I bought all 16 rockers when I did the RH side but put the rest on the back burner. Today I changed out all 8 on the LH side, I was going to swap all the pushrods until I checked the...

    Liftgate supports

    Same. When I installed the garbage aftermarket, no-name lift struts and they made that hard "click" I figured that was bad...and it was. Sorry for the late reply, I had the "Watch" selected but must have cleared cache and didn't receive updates. I went with the "Strong Arm" C6156 and they...

    Liftgate supports

    What liftgate supports are people using without issues? I tried a pair from Amazon, can't think of the name, but when I snapped it on the ball socket, it was a hard push, which made me nervous to install the other side. So I tried to remove it....not happening...I had to cut it off (not the...

    2008 Tahoe LTZ - 9 MPG

    When did the MPG's drop in relation to the plug change? What plugs? There should also be no binding in 2HI. Do you have it in A4WD if it has this feature? Are you doing alot of idling using the remote start? If so, it would be alot to get down to 9 MPG.
