    The real cure to my ticking engine

    I appreciate the insight tacky. I work in fleet maintenance and have torn apart so many ls engines. I have never personally seen evidence of what I would call severe piston slap. And as hard as piston slap my be on the bores of the cylinders and the piston skirts, it is nothing compared to the...

    Weird Truck Behavior

    I would think about wheel speed sensors or throttle body. Easy enough to test both with a good scanner

    replacing calioer bracket dust covers

    If I remember right the rubber sleeves can be removed and replaced after you pull the pin out. They just have a lip that holds them in place.

    Engine compartment light installed.

    Nice job but, how do you keep it so clean in there? My dad used to just go to a car wash and blast everything under the hood but I'm scared to try that. My engine bay is always dirty.

    The real cure to my ticking engine

    It is a problem but I would say keep an eye on your oil pressure. Then if you have the extra funds or time, get rid of your AFM lifters and valley cover. If you look at all the post on failures they all come back to low oil pressure or a failed lifter. And if you have either of these symptoms...

    The real cure to my ticking engine

    No I got the ory which has no cats. And no provisions for rear oxygen sensors. It does have a provision for a wide band

    The real cure to my ticking engine

    I have the awd 6 speed and I have no issues. I'm amazed at how good the y pipe fit when I installed them. I can take picture of that if needed for reference. Maybe they have revised them since. My only 2 complaints about them are 1) the collectors were damaged in shipping. Not due to bad...

    The real cure to my ticking engine

    I can tell you that my cam cam from geoff at eps in louisiana and it is a custom grind done by cam motion in Louisiana with eps lobes. The lobes are a specific design that you can read about online and to my knowledge you can only get them by ordering from Geoff or pat g. They work well and do...

    The real cure to my ticking engine

    I was torn on headers. I wanted American racing or kooks. Or something made in usa. But mostly I wanted stainless and a ory pipe that is made for the Denali 3.5 inch exhaust. After many reviews and searching I settled on Texas speed headers. But at that time, they didn't have a y pipe for the 6...

    Loose Red Wire Driver Side Wheel Well

    Tuner

    If you have the 6 speed blackbear is the only way to go. I got them for a tune but what they did to my transmission was worth more than the tune for me. I didn't even know my tranny sucked until I found out what a 6 speed can really do. It shifts like a th350 with a shift kit now.

    Loose Red Wire Driver Side Wheel Well

    You guys are the best. I have been wondering for years what the 4 mystery wires taped under the dash by the diagnostic port are. Now I want to get a brake controller just to have them hooked up to something.

    The real cure to my ticking engine

    Well, I may be late to the party but I'm here now! I dont belive in the gm 'piston slap' excuse. I don't believe 10 psi of oil pressure at hot idle is 'normal'. And I have personaly seen the real causes for both issues. Several times I was quoted a new engine install from the dealer if it...

    HVAC Nightmares!!!

    Blend doors are a known problem. But yours sounds more like the front control might be messed up. Just an educated guess.

    It's over the cars ruined.

    Maybe the oil pan busted and the oil light bulb blew?

    Anyone have a door fill up with water?!

    I gave up on keeping the water out. I just opened the drain holes up with a dremel

    P0011 and p0016 and service stablitrack

    No. Justin sent me a tune last night. All issues are fixed. No codes, no choppy idle.

    20x10 on a level

    I was going to lift big but I think I'm going to do konvict1 2.5 suspension+2 inch body lift. Looks good, simple, cheap

    Lets talk mufflers

    Same here. I'm running a flowmaster 40 3.5 inch with long tubes and no cats. It sounds good but nothing like my grandpa's Olds 442 does. That's the sound Im looking for

    New vvt cam installed big problem now. Please help

    Nice info. I also heard the p0016 code could be from loading an 'empty' vvt cam into an engine. There is no oil in it or the phaser to accurately retard or advance timing. So in short, after a cam install or phaser limiter, the code p0011 and p0016 are perfectly normal and ok. A tune will fix them.
