The OEM ones cost a bit but the aftermarket ones break so easy. Did you order chrome ones or are you gonna CM?
Completely agree. I'd rather spend more and not have to change them every year. I used the OEM on my 07 and rarely had to change them in my 10 years of ownership so I'm sticking with it :)

And I'm sticking with the chrome. Looks better to me with the other LTZ chrome and WDT is SO hard to match 100% and if they didn't completely match that'd drive my OCD crazy. I'm not over the top OCD about most things but that is something that'd drive me completely crazy LOL

New upper control arm and an 18 mm ratchet wrench to get the nut off. Not much room there above the axle shaft to even slip a socket on.
I used my impact with a swivel attachment to get into the tighter spot. Came in handy :)

I'd leave it deactivated. My reasoning is that the lifters are held rigid by a pin that is retracted when AFM activates. If the pin never moves, the lifter can't collapse uncommanded unless a part physically breaks. If you turn on AFM, the pins may retract but not return to the "locked" position, leading to failure.

Sounds like sound logic to me.
No point in risking it from getting stuck... :D


I also picked up the deflector for the pressure release valve, and while i was there i bought a new pressure release valve.
I wouldn't doubt if the silly thing was stuck open or something.

I ordered a new pan gasket for good measure.
I'm sure i can use the one i bought on Friday, but it's worth the $50 to not take a chance of having to do it again.
Saving a good $15 between the cooler gasket and the pan gasket if i wait until Thursday.
:rolleyes:

Is that your standard PPV cluster? I didn’t realize they had the chrome rings around the gauges.

Yes, that's the OEM PPV cluster that came in the truck

Damn, that Cali gas is expensive!

I filled up today too, 26 gallons of E85 for just under $50 ($1.84/gal)

$3.19 for mid grade which isn't all that bad for around here a lot of places in California it's almost $4, I usually spend around $400 a month for gas give or take little

I bought gas today for my Tahoe. Odometer show 14,717. May have to replace the tires sometime around May 2036. Last year, I found some gizzmo in the interior that I had never used before and had to look it up in the owner's manual. LOL


Have to be a smart ass.... that gizmo your referring to. It’s called the accelerator pedal or gas peddle... now u know buckaroo now you know..

I painted the whole front with 3M Rubberized paint. I was sick of all the rock chips and I simply didn’t want to spend all the time wet sanding only to have more rock chips in the future. Plan to do the hood, fender flares, mirrors, and lower part of doors to match as well as de-badging the entire vehicle Maybe I’m making a huge mistake, but I’m liking the results so far.
