    2019 traverse - anyone here a GM tech?

    Where was the issue ? Did the column side harness not have the wires for heated wheel ? Steering wheel harness missing pins ? Or do you think it’s a programming issue ? I haven‘t seen one come through shop yet to take a quick glance at.

    05 LLY Sleeper Build

    A 10.5 in these trucks!? How dare you! Lol. Do whatever you need to get that truck running. Parts and supply issues are such a pain in the a** right now. Definitely would be a monster though running triples and under 5k weight

    L5P INJECTOR QUESTION

    Depending on which injector it is that labor price can be accurate. I question the parts total cause there’s more than just an injector that needs replacing like the high pressure pipes on these engines are one time use. And the fuel injector return pipe seals should be replaced as well...

    2019 traverse - anyone here a GM tech?

    That old number you first listed is correct. Just fyi. That’s the latest number I got from parts catalog. The parts department told me that 84404719 superseded to 84532292. GM lately is changing part numbers so much. It makes doing things like you’re doing more difficult nowadays

    2019 traverse - anyone here a GM tech?

    So I got part number 84532292 for clock spring for a 2019 Traverse. Parts told me this was correct for a vehicle with heated steering wheel RPO KI3. And it's a 16 circuit one. Other one said it was a 14 circuit.

    Best Bourbon or Whiskey

    I enjoy the Whistle Pig Rye. It’s the 10yr bottle. I can’t get on board with Four Roses lately. My friends wife drinks Mountain Dew with Bulleit so that’s usually on hand as well

    4L80e Build for 550hp

    I’m not sure if Oregon performance transmission has borg warner high energy frictions. But thats who I’ll get some stuff from when working on older trans. Things are just becoming harder to come by

    Factory Bearings ?

    Ok so now with clearances. What could happen if you were to take main and rods, machine them to make an extra .0005in oil clearance, change to a 20w50 with good zinc content, change oil pump pressure and volume, keep oil and coolant temps in check, could you increase your use of a factory...

    Is a big single turbo right for you

    Thats why I had Levi make mine. I’m wondering just how much turbo can you make up for with blanketing. How much lag can be helped before other changes are necessary.

    Factory Bearings ?

    300 passes on nitrous I think I’d expect to be tearing down a motor at least for an inspection. But that’s really good. It’s in line with what I hear from these LS engines out there that guys are running factory bearings. So you were making over 600 at the crank then Tom. And for you a rod(s)...

    Is a big single turbo right for you

    OBS stroker wheels on LBZ

    My friend put the alcoas on his 01 HD gas truck. He also wrapped them with the K02’s. I think it looks really good surprising with the chrome and his pewter gray truck. And fwiw, when I spoke to a wheel manufacturer they told me they see less issues from when there’s 8 lug vs 5/6 lug trucks and...

    Factory Bearings ?

    That has been my curiosity. What would factory bearings look like in a 700-800hp truck that’s daily driven. And also setup for each scenario to make that power level. Wether being compounds or large single, fueling setup, and vehicle usage. But, also all other factors like oil temp, oil...

    Factory Bearings ?

    So, this is something I’ve been thinking about recently and wanted to open it up to more discussion and to hear about your experiences. We all build engines. Tear them down after failure and find root cause. My question is when are you guys seeing factory bearing failures? Mainly discussing main...

    Mahle motorsports pistons hit lml crank

    Very odd. Can you send me part number for crank ? I want to see if my parts department can go into engineering notes and see any additional info on this. Thanks

    Low coolant temp= clogged dpf ?

    Not any mechanic could diagnose it. Most will probably scan for codes and then do basic testing for circuits/components related to that code. Rather than knowing these trucks and what else can skew readings. Are there no reputable shops in your area ?

    Low coolant temp= clogged dpf ?

    Simple leaks as well In intake or exhaust side. Command egr off and look at ALER (air leak equivalency ratio). If MAF readings are off when compared to what the ecm wants to see then it will calculate soot accumulation at a faster rate
