    There are just some days I wish I didn't turn wrenches

    This was the biggest job I ever dug in to. 1999 Cadi Northstar. Misfire on startup and loosing coolant internally. Had to replace all headbolt threads with time serts as they pulled out of the aluminum block. Pretty time consuming job and I undercut myself a lot as they told me what the...

    roller tip rockers

    I bought Proforms back in the early 2000's and ran on a set of GMPP Vortec heads on a 350. They worked great and I still have them as I upgraded to 1.6's on the engine. Personally I would save your money. I assume you are running a 4.8/5.3 since you mentioned trunion upgrade.

    04 Suburban Blend Door Issues

    Have you tried not going full cold on the knob? The recirculate door has a problem where the foam wears down or wears out and the actuator will go out of range and defaults to fresh air. It can't find its learned position. Maybe the blend door is doing the same.

    Question about AFM

    If it was running too lean, the pcm should pick it up and throw a code.

    Don't drink the water!! Pretty sure you have heard about the lawsuits from the contaminated water problems they had.

    AFM Disable Options

    As mentioned, find someone local with Hp tuners. I did mine at around 130k miles and at 226k now, I couldn't be happier.

    Shorty headers worth it for 5.3?

    I put Edelbrock Shorties on my old 2000 Z71 Silverado back in the mid 2000's and could tell zero gain from them.

    Broken Motor Mounts

    My drivers side has been busted for a few years now, and I've had a GM one sitting in the shop to replace it with. One day it will get done.

    Lake Speed Jr, Oil Additives = Snake oil (video)

    I've never been a believer in additives until now. My 5.3 started to develop a lifter tick at startup from bleeding down. I always have gone by what the oil life says( I know better) until I realized I was going way too long on my LOF's. I started adding Lucas at my oil changes and I get a few...

    Hello from Eastern NC!

    I don't work with Jamie. I met him back when he had a brown 2nd gen camaro and I bought the engine/trans out if it. The man hustles for sure! I think he works for DOT. I'm with Jville.

    Wrong oil filter for 99 Tahoe w/350 engine

    4x4 should be a PF52 filter. A PF47 I believe is the shorter version that were used on cars. Did you have the last oil change done at a shop? I've seen many quick lube shops use smaller filters so you get less oil with those "$29.99 " specials.

    Cruise control not working - SOLVED

    I have not had good luck with the aftermarket ones. GM only. The way I test the switch and to tap the pedal when the cruise doesn't work and 99% of the time the cruise will come back on. No scanner needed.

    Lifter Failure Root Cause Same as HEMI?

    in 2009 I had a 2010 1500 come in with a loud tapping in the top end. under 700 miles the AFM lifter spring had broken. I believe GM's bulletin at the time said it was a bad batch of lifters and to replace ALL lifters. Our chargers have hemi's and are on a pretty strict maintence schedule of...

    If you didnt have a Yukon/Suburban/Escalade, what would be your next choice?

    I would never own an Mopar product. They are holding down the hot rod department but our light duty side is always replacing cams and lifters in the chargers. The Ford products are ok until they break. Unless you have put timing chains, actuators, timing sprockets, etc in one of those it may...

    Hello from Eastern NC!

    Thanks everyone! @swathdiver I was at a Chevy dealership for 9.5 years. We were closed up in '09 when GM went bankrupt and cut dealerships. We were a small dealership so we had to do it all. I liked going into 4l60e's as I replaced a good amount of sunshells and reaction gears. Also like engine...

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

    Dropped the tank to replace the fuel pump after 226k miles and replaced the evap lines from a failed canister. Tried getting all the charcoal pellets out of the lines but they just keep coming out. I'm tired of taking 15 minutes to fill up so new lines are on the way.
