Glad you found it.

It's always the simple things that are overlooked.

My avalanche was chopping hard when I first started it. I thought, man this cam is a lot more aggressive sounding than I thought it was going to be.

Then I logged it. Two cylinders misfiring. I had driven it up the road and everything. Nothing felt off. My plug wires had gotten wet in the bed when I had the engine out. It had some rust on the contact. Swapped wires and all is well. Cam toned down a lot lol

I want to mention that I did NOT want an aggressive sounding cam in the avalanche so I was disappointed. Much happier after I shorted that out.

It's funny when the truck would cold start I could notice not only a lot more gas smell from the exhaust (bad enough to make me cough loading the rear hatch) as well as the cam seeming to chop harder. I summed it up to just a cammed cold start and not cats like all the cool kids make videos of.

I'm really wondering how many misfires it was having during WOT, especially at the track.

Now that it's ironed out I might as well pull it all apart and mess it up again

I actually already bought one with trans temp and more importantly it has a 7k rpm tachometer which never came from the factory in anything and as far as I can tell only one guy can do them. It’s pretty badass and although it was sorta pricy it’s not as bad as a lot of clusters I’ve seen for sale.

I will keep that site in mind tho I’ll end up wanting trans temp in my other truck eventually.


Yeah your twice as low as me I have no issues in the rear but the 14b is a 1/2” or so wider in each side so that helps clear the inner fender liner back there. I remember it used to rub a little before the 14b swap.

Luckily I don’t have to touch any metal I really don’t like rolling fenders and whatnot I’m not good at that stuff.

That cluster..!

It makes me very happy every time I drive at night, Carl is a beast!
