Sad day... Didn't even get to drive her for 5 days without the lifter going...
Qualifying Statement: Haven't visited this site in a few years nor followed recent GM Engine developments. Now curious how you access lifters without pulling intake manifold, which is much more extensive, plus removing rocker arm covers for adjustment. Still have my 05 K2500 Yukon w / 6L...- montegutman

02 Tahoe a/c w/ rear air control
Donmauldin, How difficult to get the evap. out? I replaced all four indash door motors this last spring and was a major pain. Found originals were all still good just saturated in grease. Have had my 2005 Yukon XL LT K2500 since new. Now has 85K miles. Plan on being buried in it. Will replace...- montegutman

2000 Yukon..Heat issues
Additional Note: All replacement motors, both the GM Mode Door with Cam and aftermarket Driver side & Passenger side, and the Fresh Air/Recirculation motors feedback contacts were flooded with grease and would shortly after installation become electrically shorted.

2000 Yukon..Heat issues
Most likely is the Mode Door Actuator Motor is bad (shorted by too much grease from the factory).

When I opened all four OEM motors , their position feedback...- montegutman

Cheap ODB2 scanners any good?
Bought a $20 code reader from WalMart that saved me more than $2K on repairs on our high mileage Toyota Sienna (per Dealer repair quotes); so, I think it is subjective of the purpose. Luckily my Yukon K2500 XL LT has been so reliable I have not had the occasion to test the reader on it. It...- montegutman

2016 Tahoe LT 33K Mile Review
Great to hear your report. Sorry, I missed if you told us; but, which engine do you have? I have a 2005 K2500 Yukon with 6.0L. Thinking about trading, and am wondering what mileage I could expect of the new 6.2L. Still prefer the 4X4, but really do not need it any longer. So, the 5.3L is an...- montegutman

Engine ticking 3 days after oil change. Told I need a new engine.
I did not see that you defined where you live so I can not help in recommending a repair shop. What I recommend is to look online in your area for a reputable, as reported by local reviews, engine Rebuild Shop. Let them assess the cause and quote a rebuild price if necessary. If you do not...- montegutman
