    Got an engine, now Gremlins?

    The other thread is now closed. And I think I found someone who can tune the hoe. He has a dyno in his shop and is a friend of my son. Thanks to everyone for their helpful comments.

    New engine in, but "check engine" light on and stabilitrac on

    Looks like I may have someone to tune it. My son has a buddy that has a dyno in his shop and does tunes. He may be persuaded to look it over for me. Here's hoping.

    New engine in, but "check engine" light on and stabilitrac on

    No, the snarky shop tuned the ecm years ago to delete the afm. It has run at least 150k since then with no problems. I just assumed that, since they were the ones that tuned the ecm the first time, that I should have them tune it now. They won't since they weren't paid to replace the engine.

    And I'll add the snarky shop is the one that tuned the ecm to disable the afm for me years ago.

    We pulled the oil pan and checked the rods and cylinder walls from the bottom for wear or slop and it LOOKED great. And no the engine wasn't all that loud. The ecm was already tuned to disable the afm about 150k ago.

    New engine in, but "check engine" light on and stabilitrac on

    Yes the lights came on as I drove it on six cylinders about 30 miles to get it to the replacement guy. And no, the snarky shop didn't clear the codes. But I'm guessing they are still coming on as the "service stabilitrac" keeps coming on and then comes on again and again and... :-(

    I know nothing about cams OR tunes. (I'm OLD remember :-) ) But I'm willing to learn. And the cam is what I was told by the PO (The one who couldn't figure out why no oil pressure!)

    That's what I THOUGHT the shop was going to do. But he said that he wasn't going to do anything like that. How do I get it tuned?

    Also the cam is listed by AMS as : GM 12689035 1-Bolt Gen IV Non-AFM delete camshaft. I believe that is just a stock camshaft and not a "Race" camshaft.

    Got an engine, now Gremlins?

    I forgot I already started this post and started a new one (Remember I'm OLD!). But here is all the info I thought needed to be included. My '07 Tahoe lost two cylinders. I had the DOD deleted 150XXX ago and it has a cat back and CAI. I found an aluminum block AFM deleted engine with ~114K on...

    My '07 Tahoe lost two cylinders. I had the DOD deleted 150XXX ago and it has a cat back and CAI. I found an aluminum block AFM deleted engine with ~114K on it. The engine has an AMS Racing cam and lifters in it. I had a guy install it for me (I've had a heart attack and a stent and am now over...

    Got an engine, now Gremlins?

    I found an engine that already had the delete cam and lifters installed. Since I've had a heart attack, my son's friend installed the engine for me. But he has been having a problem with the Stabilitrack system and the front airbag sensors. They both keep intermittently coming on (the warning...

    Need a 5.3 fixed or swapped in West Central Indiana (07)

    I already have the DOD/AFM tuned out. What year trucks can I get an engine out of?

    Need a 5.3 fixed or swapped in West Central Indiana (07)

    My '07 was DOD/AFM deleted by a tune 140k ago. Now it seems the lifters failed anyways. I've had a heart attack (and I'm hella old) and I need someone GOOD to either do a delete kit or just swap engines (The hoe has 260k on it, so maybe the engine?). Anyone got a good 5.3 they wanna part with...

    I'm back!

    Haven't been on in forever. Guess I was culled for being inactive? Anyway I signed back up. My current 'hoe is an '07 with a 5.3 flex fuel that has a cold air intake, cat back and tuned out DOD/AFM. Unfortunately, after over 140k of no DOD, the lifters failed anyways! :-(
