    Rear Air Con annoyance

    2017 Tahoe engine swap, advice appreciated

    My 2012 tahoe lifter failed and I changed lifters and cam. It can be done quite cheaply (compared to new motor) over a weekend, I had an old mechanic supervising and I had a rough idea what to do from youtube videos and excellent support from this forum and others. I got a texas speed kit with...

    300k achieved today on way home from a full set of new tyres being fitted. New tpms as old ones were starting to have issues, Went with cheap amazon ones with even cheaper on sale scanner to activate them. Truck seems to have less rolling resistance with new tyres as the instant mpg went...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Changed front hub assembly..went smoothly until a bolt decided it was happy staying put, it was awkward to get at with my Impact as well. Managed to get an extension on my Impact which after a few attempts managed to get it moving. Hub came off after a few gentle taps with my fine adjusting...

    Running sweet after AFM delete

    I've been using Walmart or Costco synthetic oil and started using napa platinum filters. Oil is cheaper and meets specifications and filter is wix but cheaper somehow. At least then I know it's decent stuff on my truck

    WHAT OIL PUMP AFTER AFM/VVT DELETE?

    I would add something like this to the oil pipe as GM only uses one bolt, just added security. Link to cradle There are other versions, it ensures it cannot come loose etc.

    Sorry to add more stuff . New exhaust manifold bolts would be a good idea, I had one snapped before even starting the task. It may save some pain at a later date if you are doing any further work or mods. I did spark plugs also as I was doing maintenance also.

    AFM Delete Double Checking

    I wrapped mine up in black tape, made sure it was sealed to prevent gremlins appearing later. I had afm turned off prior to strip down by tuner, it's surplus to requirements and nothing to attach it to.

    I had similar issue with those two bolts underneath as it didn't seem to line up. I used a wooden lever (hammer handle ) to adjust the oil pan to get a better fit with some wiggling. Another reason I will remove engine if I do this again

    When Installing cam I put a generous coating of assembly lube on it as well as the pushrod tips, springs, rocker arms. I used a L96 cam to keep VVT in my LMG which appears to work well. Put some oil in new oil pump so it wasn't bone dry. Lifters came from texas speed as a kit and were in a bag...
