2004 6.0 NV4500 Tahoe

I did not use grease until I lost the one, I was on a roll and had the passenger side done in about an hour and a half. Went to the driver side and decided to start on #7 and that’s when I dropped one. At that point I was starving and getting a little shaky which didn’t help. Taco Bell and using tacky transmission assembly grease kept me in the fight after that.

I totally regretted it! First time I've had it in years and I was on the toilet multiple times that night.

Tuning is going well so far, initially, I added 20% fuel across the board on the MAF and VE table just to be safe, it was definitely overkill as I saw down to 10.5afr at WOT on the few small pulls I've done. I just figured it would be safer to work on leaning it out than to have it lean and be adding fuel. The great news is I have seen no misfires and there has been zero knock activity! I always had minor KR pop up and random misfires logging all over the place so maybe the mild drop in CR or the cleaning of the pistons I did is helping.

The bad news is I'm pretty sure the front main seal is leaking which isn't a huge deal as I reused the one that's been in it since I bought the truck. If it keeps leaking I can swap it out in an hour or two next oil change.

Good news! No more noise on the passenger side?

Nope it’s nice and quiet! Still have a minor exhaust leak but not bad, can’t really hear it from inside the truck.

That’s awesome! Sure helps when you have the right springs and only one c*ndom per valve stem huh?

Listen, I’m not used to condoms, had the snip years again and have been raw dawging since

I have never worn one myself. Can’t find any fat enough. Always made sure my women were on the pill or fixed.

I guess I've never seen one that looks like it would fit a tuna can either.
