Yeah got it back 1.5 weeks ago. Insane...Get your truck back yet? I got a call on Friday. GM owes me a correct part number under hood air scoop on my Z06. After 5 months, it’s off the back order list. Hopefully will be delivered to the dealer on Tuesday. (I got a relationship with my dealer, I’m just picking up the part and installing it myself).
Got the set of Michelin X LT A/S (i.e. Costco-exclusive Michelin Defender) installed to replace the OEM Duelers, and a suspension alignment. Don't see any night-and-day level difference, but admittedly, my butt-dyno is not very refined at all. On a related note, I didn't realize Costco has DIY fill stations for your tires AND it's with nitrogen. Compelling, if you ask me.Took my new-to-me 2018 that I bought in FEB 2021 to the snow (Mt. Laguna) for the first time. No real issues, but the original Bridgestone Duelers it came with (currently have 43k mi) are past their end-of-life date, for sure. The front passenger tire is practically bald, but still no real issues through the snow. Nothing crazy, but was breaking the path in some parts around 3-6". Hard to compare to my previous (2012 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4) because of the atrocious tires, so I ordered Michelin Defenders (seems to be the prevailing choice on this forum by far) from Costco and will have those on before my next snow foray in FEB 2022 to Big Bear. Will see how they fare then - expecting much better performance (i.e. wheel spin and traction).
if all that is happening from a lifter tick then it's too late already, call it a washExcessive camshaft lobe scoring/wear, metal shavings in oil, loss of compression and misfires in affected cylinder, unburned gasoline in the exhaust? I would get if fixed before there’s a need for a new engine unless you are in the middle of a desert and your life depends on it.
gm lifter tick is a age old issue.....in general it does nothing other than "tick", other sounds or diagnosis are of course differentI would have to ask someone more knowledgeable how quickly the tick will turn into something of a concern. Seeing a check engine light due to misfire will indicate certain damage.
Flickering Morimoto episode is finally over and the the wife can finally see and be seen. And now I have to figure out what I need to with the OEM HIDs on my Silverado to make them better. LOL!
