    Is this bearing shot?

    So this bearing feels smooth, but it looks like it's worn to me? The crank looks great tho. I've only removed this one. Also, should plasti gauge all the bearings or can I gauge all of them off one or two? Or is it more important to plasti gauge the mains? Damn I'm such a newb, I'm totally...

    2015 2.8l Duramax TrailBlazer???

    Can anybody out there verify this? I think it'd be a cool rig, I also think GM made a huge mistake giving the TB the axe when it was one of the best selling mid-sized SUV's ever made/sold. People love these things and I sure do love my TBSS! EFI-Live tuned 2.8 D-max TB, yeah man...
