    Mevotech TTX update

    @Foggy I'm with you, it's financially and morally responsible for us to drive em until we can't. I am overall happy with the Mevotech parts, out of all the parts I RMA'd I think it was the lower balljoint the whole time but fingers crossed. Rock auto has some new nice stuff I went with the new...

    Steering Rack Replacement

    @lspann3525 You should be ok, just make sure the seals are in there when you get the lines back installed and there is lots of fluid in the reservoir

    Oil pressure issue.

    @swathdiver After the AFM delete, oil pump, and o-ring it didn't change the oil pressure but I did end up using a standard oil pump instead of the high flow or high volume options so it's possible that a different pump would have given better results but I am satisfied with the numbers I have

    Steering Rack Replacement

    @lspann3525 I just looped the seatbelt through the bottom rung of the steering wheel, that part wasn't a big deal

    Steering Rack Replacement

    @lspann3525 The new rack came with new PS Orings, it didn't come with tie rod jam nuts I had to reuse them from the old inner tie rod. Just undo it after you get it out and write down how many turns it takes to get the tie rods off and then swap the old jam nuts over

    Oil pressure issue.

    I don't see a problem, my oil pressure sits at like 19 after it's really hot and at 39 cruising on the highway. Been like that for years.

    Help lifting LTZ please!

    I say unless you really want the features of the auto lvl system, it's a fragile system that is ageing and it's probably more headache than its worth. I recommend replacing the springs and shocks parts that accomplish your goal and NOT installing a 4 inch lift on a auto level system

    Million dollar vlom question

    When I did my AFM delete my cam bearings didn’t look great! But I didn’t have oil pressure issues so I slapped a new cam in and sent it. That was 3 years ago and still runs like a top. In these situations you can open it up and see what’s going on and then make a plan based on your findings...

    Million dollar vlom question

    I hardly remember a thread on here I think a guy ran the wrong VLOM and it jacked his motor up. I want to say he had a motor like yours with AFM off and he swapped just the VLOM and left the AFM lifters in and the new VLOM caused those lifters to keep collapsing. Hopefully someone else remembers...

    Mevotech TTX update

    I grease them after torqing them down so that I can make sure that I'm not overfilling them but these failed early for some reason. The new one and the other side have been fine

    ignition switch to relay ground/short

    @bobjohnson5000 If you haven't looked into it yet, the negative battery cable is known to go bad on the 2007-2015 model tahoes. You can test this by grabbing the negative battery cable and pushing it back towards the firewall and then try starting the tahoe again. Here is a video of when I was...

    2012 Suburban Misfire #5 drama

    @Keiterburb Bank 1 is running slightly rich. This could be from a bad MAF or O2 sensor, or maybe the intake lobe on the cam is damaged not allowing the valve to open enough. Might be worth cleaning your MAF and swapping your bank 1 and bank 2 upstream O2 sensors to see if the problem persists...

    @Keiterburb Can you shoot some pictures of your fuel trims?

    2012 Suburban Misfire #5 drama

    @Keiterburb My interpretation of those photos is that bank 2 is performing better, the consistent bumps is good, bank 1 readings are not consistent. For fun I consulted ChatGPT and it agreed:

    I don’t know a lot but shouldn’t both banks look similar? Is cylinder 5 on bank 1?
