odd for sure. id be taking that rocker cover off asap and id try not to drive it till you look things over.
would really suck if its a rounded cam lobe.
What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

I hope not, but honestly it doesn't sound internal. Not in the motor itself. Hopefully it won't rain Saturday, that's the only time I can look at it.

Had an oil change done to her, replacing the Pennzoil Yellow Bottle 5w-30 with AC Delco conventional 5w-30.

It was a first free oil change for the Tahoe since I bought it. Parts list said 5-30 conventional & filter. Figure next change, might bring my own oil in. Haven't decided what yet, though.

Well I'm done for the day. Sway bar is banging against something (probably why It needs to be moved over 2 inches)
No free travel mod because cheap harbor freight cutoff and sawsall
I did my free travel mod with a Ryobi sawzall and some good blades and a grinder to smooth it out. Your sway bar is hitting the panhard bar bracket on the passenger side. Once you do the relocation, it’ll bolt on the other side of that bracket and sit just in between the panhard bracket and the shock.
Like this
Also, you don’t have to buy nuts for the new holes when you relocate the drivers mount. You just have to make sure to drill and tap the original size of the original bolts and you can reuse them

That’s what I thought at first too lol. 4/4 is perfect IMO

Ok guys I'm missing something For sure.
I moved the sway bar over 2" like I was recommended, however, when I do so the sway bar hits the axle on the driverside and the shock on the passenger side. When I leave it where it is but bolt it to the new endlinks it has clearance all around (full compression and max extension)
what am I doing wrong??
First 2 are with it moved to the passenger side 2"
Factory location just mounted to new endlinks
These are taken at full compression

How low are you in the rear? I know when I put my bar on after I had pull the spring spacers to go 4" in the rear, my axle was at full droop and the sway bar hit the axle. I had to raise it up to close to ride height before the sway bar would mount properly. I'm not entirely sure those will work if you're higher than 4" in the rear. They MIGHT work at 3" but it'd be close I'd bet.
**I looked again and see your axle is fully drooped. It will hit that way. You have to jack up the axle quite a bit to get it to clear. This also means you cannot leave your axle at droop in the future without taking off the rear swaybar.

I'm at 3".
Those pictures are with the axle all the way up.
I'l get more pics with it on the ground. I just checked the front UCAs and I didn' cut enough off the bolt. It rubbed on the axle boot. Luckily it didn' go through so I cut more off and there' 1-2mm of clearance
