Great video!
So what can kit etc parts are recommended / needed to do this all to my 2015 Tahoe?
Extremely well made video! Thank you
Great Video definitely a good tutorial
You are AMAZING! This video has been a life safer. I’d be cussing at least 4 times as long at all of the stupid clips and special connectors.
How long does this take total ?
Can’t you just tune out the 4cl? I’ve seen people do that online as a fix instead of doing this. Just pay a few hundred bucks to turn it off so it stays in 8cyl. It’s 2 credits.
This is ridiculous
Amazing. Probably looking at doing this myself, so I appreciate all the effort that went into making this video. Started the Yukon XL 8.1L up a few months ago and it sounded like there was a wrench bouncing around in the engine beneath the intake manifold.
Danny! Thank you thank you!! I have a 16' Silverado & unfortunately I'm getting ready to delete the DoD in it. Great video my friend! Its gonna be what helps me get through it!!
Hi, I am a mechanic, and I have a 2015 GMC yukon that is misfiring in cylinder 3,5, and sometimes randomly in different cylinders and it brings out white smoke whenever that is happening sometimes a lot sometimes mild. So I don't know if that is the valve that is failing or the rings.
So how much does it cost to do this job?
I broke the timing chain tensioner trying to compress it to slide in the Allen. What do you recommend atracking that lol 2wd Silverado 5.3
I'm by no means a master mechanic, but it kinda seems like it might be easier to yank the engine to do this work.
Imagine if gm would just NOT put dod and afm in their engines. Then Add a better piston and rod fairly cheaply. If i were them id be making the most bullet proof engines i could and EPA can suck it. The CEO looks like if you asked her to hand you a crows foot shed hand you a 3 jaw puller.
Why the hell would u change format. This is a great video. This is what people want car channel. What happened. The last year ur videos hardly cover car repair. Not to mention the like few minutes. People who watch car channels want l9ng videos. Not Milwaukee Milwaukee doesn't need help marketing
ecm needs to be tuned to run right. It will start in 4 cylinder mode and run like that until you reprogram the ecm
Dude, im just 2 minutes into your video and can say… you rock! Fantastic instruction and video. Thank you.
I'm in the process of doing this right now and I'm finding that trying to walk the chain off the cam gear to be EXTREMELY difficult. Not real sure how you guys managed to get it off without damaging something. It's worth noting that there a several videos out there showing how to remove the oil pump without removing the pan. This DOES NOT apply to a 4WD as the pump and pan are completely different.
I think I move the camshaft pulley and now I have cylinder 7 at top
I just have one question. Isn’t TDC supposed to be on the compression stroke? Not the exhaust stroke?
What's the reason for doing this
Finally ready to start part 2! Assembly Mudda flunkers! So thankful for these videos. Also I'm on a 5.3 2020 with only 76k miles. Anyways see ya on the next video
Man thank you so much. This video is helping so much.
I just got a 19 5.3 burb, I have the AFM turned off, but will be doing the delete when I get a chance. These are awesome videos.
here's a better idea … take that shitty engine OUT and put in a summit vortec 350 it will outlast the vehicle.
NO emissions. NO weird timing crap. put a throttle body on it and electronic ignition and NEVER touch it again.
So did you keep the cam phaser because you didn’t delete the vvt? Any help would be appreciative. I’m trying to understand all this.
approx how many miles were on your Denali when you performed this service?
Do I have to remove the high pressure fuel pump if I'm just doing the heads without the delete
