    04 Silverado started knocking, what could it be? Rebuild started

    Great idea, I had not thought about that. I'm using the C-Clamp Valve Spring Compressor tool kit, it makes it so much easier putting in the springs. The heads have to be removed to use this style of compressor kit. https://orionmotortech.com/products/valve-spring-compressor-tool-sck-0001-bl...

    They should have, and they didn't. The answer I got was that 1/2 of the staff that worked there no longer work there. That shit doesn't fly, anyways he hooked me up with the parts(discounted). I'm doing the work now so, we are saving the labor cost. We are only out a bit of money and my son's &...

    I got with them this morning and the parts were out of warranty, the work was done in 2020. They did give me a big discount on the new parts I purchase from them this morning. New cam (just a bit bigger) Dual spring setup Chrome moly pushrods OEM LS7 Lifters

    You are correct they should have used a dual spring setup. Cam Specs TSP 220R .600 lift 110LSA TSP Chrome Moly 7.40 pushrods LS7 lifters

    You should have used reflective wrap. I got the denali lettering (reflective wrap) from a member on here and it looks bada$$.

    04 Silverado started knocking, what could it be? Rebuild started

    After a close examination of the cam thru the lifter hole, I could see the damage done to the cam. The damage keeps getting worst. I'm starting to think the builder (Velocity parts & performance) used the wrong springs and created float on the lifters during high revs.

    04 Silverado started knocking, what could it be? Rebuild started

    After I got it out, I removed the drivers head and found some of the lifter shattered pieces. Next weekend I'm going to remove the oil pan & tray to see if I can find the remaining pieces.

    Update It took alot of elbow grease to get the lifter out, I was in shock when I saw it. Don't know what to say

    04 Silverado started knocking, what could it be? Rebuild started

    From what can tell the stuck lifter did not open the valves and too much fuel was been traped in the cylinder causing the head turn black

    @Snowbound. You almost nailed it. The truck has a stuck lifter and it messed up the push rod

    I'm about to buy a 2018 Tahoe Premier, please give me your insight!

    The wireless charger is a common issue with those models, my wife's 2017 tahoe had to get the module replaced. Have them fix it

    Cv axle or front differential

    Disconnect the axle and test again, sounds like the gears to me. The adjusters n.u.t.s might have gotten loose inside the diff. It's a common issue with gm 8.25 IFS diffs...

    04 Silverado started knocking, what could it be? Rebuild started

    My first impression was a bent push rod, still waiting for my son to get it tow to my house to give it a proper diagnosis. You are right it sounds like a collapsed lifter but this truck does not have the AFM system.

    04 Silverado started knocking, what could it be? Rebuild started

    The truck is my son's 2004 silverado extended cab. He has it cam'ed out, headers, tune and other misc stuff including a high perf transmission. The truck is not his daily. This afternoon he took it for a drive and got on it hard. After a couple of runs he heard some knocking. I would like to...

    Makes sense,. Autoparts stores sell rebuilt engines, stick to an oem engine from GM.

    By saying too tight you mean the steering is more responsive (aka no slack)?
