    This ACdelco Engine air filter with 27,500 miles, 4 years old..

    Air filters become more efficient as they fillup with dirt. The downside, if all out performance is what you're after, is they become more restrictive. If you want to know how the air filter is doing send in an oil sample for analysis.

    Is this just an oil filter gasket leak or is there something else that would pool oil around the oil filter?

    Question about drive train slop

    Maybe a little when transitioning on and off the throttle. Most of my Klunk was cured when I changed the frt diff mounts. https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/no-more-klunk-yeah.134250/

    My 07 awd has always had a lot of slop, most of which is in the transfer case.

    Make sure the tranny isn't over filled w/atf. And this is why I'm a DIYer.

    low oil PSI when passing

    Do you have some oil consumption going on? GM came up with TSB technical servive bulletin: new improved valve covers ot the 07-08 and 09-11 engines to lessen oil consumption. Read it here...

    I was Wrong - PCV and Fresh Air

    I meant to post this in the 2007 to 2014 area :banghead:

    I was Wrong - PCV and Fresh Air

    The PVC system does take in filtered fresh air. On modern fuel injected engines the source is from downstream of the MAP sensor. On a healthy engine there isn't much blowby volume, so a fresh air source is included in the PVC system to help increase air flow volume to carry away harmful vapors...

    07 Valley cover

    The guy in the video used an air hammer to get the bad one to unstick. He wasn't being successful with the hammer.

    Don't put new lifters on a damaged cam or you'll be back in there sooner than later.

    2017 Tahoe/ICT Valley Cover has no PCV port, how do I run the PCV now?

    I just had the intake, valve covers, etc off my 2002 C5 vette last week to install a catch can and to clean things up. There isn't a air line from the airbox going to the valve covers, intake, pvc system.

    2017 Tahoe/ICT Valley Cover has no PCV port, how do I run the PCV now?

    If you say so, but I'm not buying it. Every pvc system I know of uses intake vacuum to pull gasses "from" the crankcase only. Metered leak(s) "into" the crankcase? What would be the point of that?

    2008 Yukon Denali AC fluctuating between Cold and hot

    The evaparator may be dirty thus causing the clutch to cycle? My 07 Denali didn't come from the factory with a cabin air filter. I added one - Dorman Kit# 259-200.
