    DoD/AFM delete question.

    @baychef For a comprehensive conversation about your situation I would start a new post, juggling your post and the problem we already have at hand will be impossible.

    2008 Tahoe P0300, Rough Idle After Work

    @davidkramer Did you have a lifter failure or why did you do all that work?

    Left (Drivers side) motor mount removal question

    @opfor2 On the drive side I just removed the steering half shaft between the firewall and steering rack and the fender liner, undo the lower motor mount bolts on both sides of the motor so that when you jack the motor up it can lift up freely and give you the most amount of working space

    Low Oil pressure still!!!!

    @MalcDogg If you have already started a thread about this I would recommend continuing on that thread instead of starting a new one or else I will have to ask a bunch of questions again LOL Can you link it here at least?

    Strange start after battery died during oil change, video included

    @Fless At this point I'm just going to move on, that battery warranty was the last reason I had to ever go to a dealership again. I work in IT and I only learned to work on my vehicles myself because of shit like this, the service industry has been in a massive slump since COVID and you can...

    Strange start after battery died during oil change, video included

    Dealership tested the battery and the battery failed so I got a free battery under warranty but.. Charged me $25 fee to test the battery and a $25 labor fee for installation of the warranty battery. They installed the battery backward in the battery tray so the cables are all over the place..

    13 Metallic Tahoe Auto Rear Leveling Shocks

    @iamdub What is FYP? And for some reason I thought he only had the auto level in the rear. If he has auto level in the front and hasn't adjusted the ride height sensors he has even more ride quality to gain

    13 Metallic Tahoe Auto Rear Leveling Shocks

    @iamdub Thank you, I knew I was missing something besides just the shock extension brackets. Those will fix the shocks from being overextended but now he will have to adjust the sensors to compensate for the shock extension brackets. @13_Metallic are you set on keeping the auto level system?

    13 Metallic Tahoe Auto Rear Leveling Shocks

    @13_Metallic You call Rough Country on the phone and tell them the part numbers that are in the links that @iamdub posted and they will help you out. The only thing after that is you will need to source some grade 8 bolts, washers, and nuts. Basically what the shock extenders do is make it so...

    13 Metallic Tahoe Auto Rear Leveling Shocks

    @13_Metallic That sounds about right, do the recommendations and I think you will be very happy with it.

    DoD/AFM delete question.

    The VLOM connector will remain unplugged because the non-afm valley cover has no plug. What you can do is lay the old AFM vlom in the engine bay and plug in the connector, that will allow you to drive the Tahoe to the shop to have it tuned. After that the connector will remain disconnected...

    Occasional light lifter tick starting

    @dkad260 Very interesting! I will stay tuned

    Occasional light lifter tick starting

    @dkad260 Can you post more videos of the sound? I want to hear it from inside the engine bay and from under the motor. When I go back and listen to your initial video I am having a hard time agreeing that the sound is coming from within the motor, sounds more like a spark plug wire arcing or...

    Occasional light lifter tick starting

    @dkad260 At that point I would have gone all the way in and done a proper inspection of the lifters and cams. LS engines have always been prone to lifter failures even before the AFM system was introduced so you could have a pitted lifter elsewhere but you wouldn't know unless you pulled the...

    13 Metallic Tahoe Auto Rear Leveling Shocks

    Like @iamdub said I recommend doing all 3 of those things. What exactly is your setup @13_Metallic ?

    Dustin Jacksons 2008 Chevy Tahoe Build Thread

    @tooleyondeck I did a speed limit delete, raised idle RPMs, supposedly they adjusted the timing so I can get more power running higher octane fuel. I also had them make me a transmission tune but I never liked how it made the transmission feel so I haven’t run it very much.

    Stacking level and lift kits

    @crownvic31 For the front suspension to work properly things need to be kept within a certain specification and when you add lift things will come out of spec and that's when you need supporting lift mods like control arms, lifted knuckles, lower control arm drop brackets, and such. Post...

    Strange start after battery died during oil change, video included

    Turns out the Ac Delco battery that is currently in my Tahoe has a 42 month warranty and is still covered, that's nice.

    More Lift Questions With A Specific Goal

    @blackelky If you are ordering the 81069 springs from amazon it would be cool if you also got the 81071 at the same time for physical comparison before you install them and then just return the 81071 to amazon.

    More Lift Questions With A Specific Goal

    @blackelky Shocks might need time to break in also, mine seemed to get softer over time. You did 5100s?
