    Gen 4 oil pump on LM7

    The oil pressure was decent I think when I turned it on. one of the lifters chewed up the camshaft and the rest is history. I will clean that pump up and have ready for the reinstall., thanks

    2022 YUKON DENALI 6.2

    used is probably cheaper but with this year engine luck it might be in the same shape. I prefer to rebuild to know what you put in it. so it really depends on your budget and time. I rebuild these engines but I take my time and for some customers time with out their car is valuable so used or...

    2013 Yukon Engine Knock...

    Hey man, I would advise to not drive that truck in that conditionthat. I just rebuilt the entire engine on mine for the same reason, my noise was noticible when we traveled to Mexico and finally gave out upon our return to Southern California. So all my bearings, including the camshaft bearings...

    The DOD tick finally got to me

    Almost there went with an improved billet front torque converter and I think I might have saved the trans. This oil looking like a cherry dr. Pepper. It was dark with a tinge of red. But its almost good. No the onky thing that is needed is to unstuck the trans dip stick. It got wedged in the...

    The DOD tick finally got to me

    Yeah saw the video and ibguess i did it right lol. The lifter is the standard ls7 The tool is 6.8 The per load is .05 right And the tool was 10.5 turns. So 6.8 + 5.25 +. .05 preload = 7.375

    there was no preload when I measured. There was no lash only if i lifted the rocker arm with force then the pushrod would actually plunge

    Pickup tube question on 2007 GMC Yukon Denali 6.2

    I'm there with you. I had low oil pressure right after doing an oil pan gasket and o ring swap. but my truck has DOD. my cam bearings and rod bearings were shot so that also game me low oil pressure. hope you don't have my luck!

    catalytic function not clearing (should I do more parts cannon)

    I almost went down that path seeing the low low price. I found a shop around me that offered them rebuilt and with a warranty and had no issue there, still have my originals though.

    hey guys I know somewhere on this thread someone recommended me to change the torque converter. Is a 6l90 torque converter good for this application? They seem to be cheaper than the stock 6L80 reman units everywhere I look at.

    catalytic function not clearing (should I do more parts cannon)

    you are right they are missing the tip. Based on other pictures I see from these plugs. Guess they were fakes, that tip should not melt away like that in less that 10,000 miles.

    They were supposed to be the basic platinum oem plug. But they very well could have been counterfeit. the gaps were all over the place and now seeing the gap widened by .035in. The engine is purring again. I hope this was my issue now on to smog and get it tunned.

    I took out the spark ugs chasing this lean condition. I measured some of them at .080!!! Twice the amount required. Its running better now still need to tune it. But hopefully this at least clears the monitors for smog!!!

    catalytic function not clearing (should I do more parts cannon)

    the pressure is at 45-50 at start up. I might do a leak down test to see how long that pressure holds. that could help me determine if the injectors are bad. The Pump was changed a few years back as well. along with the fuel pressure regulator diaphragm and the stupid little hope that goes to...

    thank for the info, So I guess It a major rich fuel issue. I could not find my newer more detailed scanner but even my old one gave me some much valuable data My LTFT on Bank 2 is above 10% (13.3 to be exact) which i guess to much of the dark web info out there is in the rich territory. So I...

    catalytic function not clearing (should I do more parts cannon)

    its the generic hp p0300. But the cat monitor is still red. Even with the p0300, it would turn green other years. This year it's staying on red after 500 plus miles of driving. that's why I'm considering throwing a a new O2 Sensor. after it clears and passes I want to remove the heads to lap...

    catalytic function not clearing (should I do more parts cannon)

    the Cats were switched out in 2018, Being in California that's going to cost me an Third Kids college tuition to replace them again lol. When I look at the data the Short Term fuel trims are all over the wall. The spark Plugs are a bit carbonated which if I am can be a lean condition right? I...

    Hey guys So I went to do a smog in early Jan and it failed because the Catalytic Converter diagnosis is not ready. I cleared the ECM multiple times disconnected the battery and have driven the truck over 500 miles now to no avail. It is cammed and I need to clear a P0300 that bugs it with a...

    So this isn’t good, right?

    We all been there don't worry. Your Valve Covers look good. Try looking at the VLOM (the thing under the Air Intake. My Bolts for this contraption were looser than....(do not continue with this joke or get banned). I could rotate all bolts by hand and was causing me a headache. With a...
