Metal ringing noise from oil fill tube

LLY new engine won’t start.
Coolant temp sensor plugged in? When we went standalone harness & no coolant, we had to wire in a resistor to the ect circuit to make ecm think it wasn't -50 degrees I know 60% injectors are not a huge jump but that is what I'm leaning towards, the tuning. Do you have access to the tuning...- ikeG

How much boost before you float the valves?
Maybe grab a set of aftermarket valve bridges. They weigh quite a bit less than stock. Losing valve train weight will increase spring pressure, without actually increasing spring pressure. (Cant think of a better way to describe currently). Because stock pushrods hold up well and...- ikeG

LMM: Electrical issues again
Well there's always the possibility but I doubt it. If you cant find a problem by just checking 'everything ' the DTCs can be next thing to direct you. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk -
LMM: Electrical issues again
Communication codes will probably be what you have. Will narrow it down to certain module(s) hopefully. Then you might need schematics to see power sources or whatever it points you towards Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk -
LMM: Electrical issues again
It will take more than a pocket code reader to pull these type of DTCs. Just an fyi Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk -
LMM: Electrical issues again
Check the mega fuse connections on the passenger firewall, by the battery. They are known to come loose or corrode. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk -
LMM: Low pressure limp (with specifics)
I think you're delaying the inevitable/throwing money away with the fuel cooler idea. I'm sure it's either the injectors or cp3 returning too much, especially at 270k. I personally have not had to replace a lmm cp3 for these reasons, it's always been the injectors for me. Easy enough to test... -
LML engine knock
Cp4 timing was off one tooth.... But I have installed one before without timing it at all with no problems, definitely no noises. Cam looks great. Cam bearings have more wear than I'd expect, just like the rod bearings. Something's definitely been run thru the oiling system. Sent from...- ikeG

LML engine knock
Not sure if I got anywhere but once I had all pistons and rods out(no visible problems with them) I can spin the crank over faster, which makes a whirring or clicking sound. I think I might have narrowed it down to the oil pump. Removed water pump first, no change. Removed oil pump drive...- ikeG

LML engine knock
Not sure if I asked a question or not lol. Just was brainstorming. I have piston 3 out and went over it with a fine toothed comb. Also did same to all the lifters a couple times. I did check valve lash before disassembling and it was fine. I might have jumped the gun on posting since I have...- ikeG

Cylinder 5 Missfire and Balance Rate 15 Bad Injector??
14x1.5 lug nut threads right on the feed of a lly for sure. Had to make the slide hammer setup on the last one I did. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk -

LML engine knock
Got a 2016 denali with only 13,000 miles on it here that knocks when cold. See vid.https://youtu.be/huiF1SzO7ME Just stock trans and fuel system tuning. While running, disabling injector 3 changes the pitch of the knock. It doesn't go away until engine is warm. I swapped in 4 new injectors...- ikeG

LMM: 1st D-Max
In my experience on an LMM, low rail pressure problems are from injectors returning too much fuel. Shows up when towing frequently. How many miles on the truck? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk -
Stuck Vanes-Does the Edge CTS2 Reading Desired Vane Position or Actual Vane Position?
It must read actual. At key on engine off my cts2 shows 61% vpos. I plugged in scan tool and look at the pids, actual is 62% and desired is 0. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk- ikeG

I see what you mean there. Only pid available for vane position is 'vpos' so not sure if it is desired or actual.- ikeG

Y Bridge bolt holes??
The bridge bolt holes are in each intake manifold. The intake manifolds bolt down to the heads and are sealed with rtv. So you could replace entire manifold if needed. The bolts and studs are m6. Not sure on pitch Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk -
LMM sluggish/smokey once hot at 2000rpm
So Pensacola sells bosch remans? I'd hope no matter who the dealer is, a bosch is a bosch. I buy piles of bosch remans from my local dealer with not one problem. They aren't even a site sponsor! Lol. Is the truck running yet? Hopefully it's simple as nozzle swap. But man the nozzle hone...
