    Welp it was the tone! It drives great now. Couldn’t be more happy. Thanks for the help guys.

    I’d never read that before but after reading into it, it seems you’re right. I’ve got my tuner swinging by later. This might be all I needed.

    I’ll also look into finding an autocal for the tune possibly. If my friend with HP tuners falls through that will be the route I go. I do understand that the vehicle needs a tune just to clarify and I have had the intent to get it tuned from the start. But I can tell the problem is of a...

    Post DOD Delete engine noises

    I actually did turn the engine ever by hand once I had the push rods and rockers in, about 5 times just to insure there was no resistance and to make sure every rocker/ valve was operating. I know my timing marks were correct when I installed the cam phaser aswell. Everything I’m seeing here...

    I’d look at going the blackbear route but I don’t have a laptop to use for it. Unless I could find a long enough cord to plug it in at my house with my PC.

    And the Range was just s to band aid it to get it back to the town I live in and parked till it could be tuned.

    Unfortunately the VLOM got thrown out a week or so ago.

    Post DOD Delete engine noises

    I did replace the VLOM with a non DOD valley cover. I didn’t plug the oil towers but the new cover came with internal O-Rings that are supposed to keep oil out. And it has not been tuned yet, but the only tune I planned on running was tuning out DOD via HP tuners. For now I still have a Range...

    Post DOD Delete engine noises

    I’m really thinking this has something to do with the timing. Very little to no power, and possible piston to valve contact on cylinder one. I’m wondering if the cam phaser is misaligned from the cam and causing my issue. Or if it’s some other issue with the VVT. I’m debating on deleting it at...

    Post DOD Delete engine noises

    I used a L9H factory cam, morel 7717 lifters, Acdelco trays, new acdelco crank sprocket, timing chain tensioner, cam phaser, and cam phaser actuator bolt, cloyes timing chain, stock push rods and rocker arms, .550 max lift springs, new high pressure melling oil pump and melling pick up tube, and...

    Post DOD Delete engine noises

    So just finished up the DOD delete on my 2014 PPV Tahoe. It started after a few extra seconds than normal and ran but it now has a loud ‘clank’ noise coming from the drivers side of the engine. I’m worried that it’s valve to piston contact in cylinder one since that is the general area the sound...

    DOD/AFM Delete Valve questions

    I ended up just sticking with the valley cover and that will hopefully keep it sealed up fine. So far I have the timing set in as well as the oil pump and the pan on and wrapped up with putting the timing cover on. Lifters and heads are next on the chopping block. The hardest part of the day was...

    Called TSP today. They said those plugs are only for the LT engines. Tho nowhere on the page does it specify which engines it’s for. It just says “DOD Hole Plugs SET of 8”.

    They will definitely take a little persuasion to go in, but I haven’t put any in yet since I’m worried about the top sticking up.

    Fuel return line retainer

    Anyone recognize this clip? It came off my fuel return line when I was taking off my fuel rail and air intake. No luck finding a replacement. I did pick up a green dorman clip but it doesn’t seem to be the same part when I inspected them side by side.

    Ok so these oil tower plugs from tsp have a lip towards the top of them. Is that ok to just sit on top? I thought these were supposed to sit flat.

    6.2 L9H cam in 5.3 LMG require a cam phaser limiter?

    As the title suggests, I'm swapping the stock cam out of my 5.3 LMG, while doing a full DOD delete, and replacing it with a cam from a 6.2 L9H. I already have all the parts and I'm planning on starting the swap friday. I'm wondering though if I'll need a cam phaser limiter since I'll be swapping...

    DOD/AFM Delete Valve questions

    Also I picked up Morel 7717 lifters cause I had heard good things about them, anyone every try these? Going back to pick my heads up tonight and drop them off with a buddy to have them cleaned up. When I get them back I’m planning on lapping the valves and installing the new springs.

    DOD/AFM Delete Valve questions

    Ok got the driver side head off and found that the cylinder #1 exhaust lifter had been spinning in the tray and the roller is pretty torn up. I’m guessing the cam looks about the same. Only thing I’m curious about is what orientation the no dod rollers when I go to re assemble. I see the little...

    DOD/AFM Delete Valve questions

    Those are great points but unfortunately I don’t have an engine pulled or stand. And to be honest I’m not really planning on doing a job like this again any time in the near future or do I have the space to store those larger tools (I live in a small apartment but I’m doing the job at my...

    Trying my hardest not to. Unless I take the heads and timing cover off and everything’s just exploded in there, I don’t plan on it.

    DOD/AFM Delete Valve questions

    I bought the little kit of 8 plugs from TSP. I ended up buying all my parts individually because I could never find all the manufactures of parts in the dod delete kits that are offered. I picked up Morel 7717 lifters, and Acdelco trays, all Felpro gaskets and head bolts, GM valve strings...
