So I was recording what I thought was a lifter tick for you all to hear as a before shot. Well it turned into total carnage, but during the surprise of it all, I forgot to stop recording. I think only like 3 mins of this are relevant.
You guys were waaaayyyyy too calm! Is resleeving an option?

I have to tell the site I have an Escalade in case anyone wondered. The site doesn't believe there is a 6.2 Tahoe, hahaha


you planning on keeping it forever?

Also you reminded me I still have the first crankshaft that the thrust bearing ate up. I don't think they wanted to clean it up and expect it to perform as a new one. Going to run it by my local guy and see if he thinks it can be saved for something with a few less hp

With as rare as it it, I'm planning on keeping it forever. It is also hard to find a vehicle that just...fits... If that makes sense. I always to a double take when I park it, if I wake up in the middle of the night, I look outside to make sure it's ok, haha. I love my hoe...
