    2017 Tahoe engine swap, advice appreciated

    Thank you. I appreciate the reply. I have not yet come to a decision on a swap or repair. If I do a swap and buy a GM motor but to have the warranty it obviously has to be done by ASE certified so at that point I really don’t care to much who does it because it will have a warranty. Since I’m...

    2017 Tahoe engine swap, advice appreciated

    Hey Trey, the work you said you did, is that considered a AFM delete as well? Or is it keeping it as a AFM but stronger parts making it last longer. Sorry if that doesn’t make sense. I’m still reading through all the threads to piece it all together. I should have it all retained and deciphered...

    2017 Tahoe engine swap, advice appreciated

    Thank you for the advice. Yea I feel now that replacing an engine would be more work for sure and more money. I also wouldn’t need a shop with the hoist. I could do in my garage.

    2017 Tahoe engine swap, advice appreciated

    They said it was a lifter. Guess this engine only has one cam shaft. So needs a new cam and all the lifters. Then put heads back on. They said with all parts and labor would be close to what it would be for a new motor. Which was $6k and labor for a total at the $11,000 range.
