My From Start to Finish 6.0L Build

[RAMurphy]

I thought the PS was the clean side and no need for a catch can there?

Two reasonons: 1. I read somewhere that you should. 2. When pulling that hose on the passenger side when I was dismantling the old engine and removing the intake manifold - there was a little oil in that tube.

So as a precaution, this is what I'm going to do. I will see if that was a wise decision or not. I can always remove it. We will see after my next oil change.

Finally installed the catch can this afternoon.

That frayed (protective sleeve) coolant line is next.

Hey all. I was going through my paper work, notes and receipts to file away. I came across a note stating that a crankshaft relearn may be required. The operative word being "may". It came directly from my build books. I assumed that since my Tahoe started right up with the new engine that it fell in the negative side of the word "may". In other words not required. Second guessing myself now. Thoughts? Is a crankshaft relearn required?

I didn't have to do a relearn on my LQ4 that I rebuilt last Spring. I also asked my buddy that's pretty savvy with these engines and he also told me he's never have to do it himself. So IDK. Do you have HP Tuners? You can do it with that.

How are going to address that fraying hose protector thingy BTW? I have the same on my trucks and find it unsightly.

It's not necessarily required, but recommended. It may ward off a future P0300, or intermittent long crank times. Quick and easy to do with a good scanner.

The description of the relationship between the crank and cam sensors is explained in the first several minutes of this video:

Thank you for the response. Yes, I have a tuner that can accomplish the relearn. It's running great so not sure if I want to go through the steps - although pretty straight forward based on the video Flees provided. Probably going to replace the hose with some braided hose I have - I'll provide pictures when I get around to changing it.

Thank you for the response. After listening to this video, I found a video on crankshaft relearn very simple to do.

This is the hose (AN-10) I will using to replace the hose with the frayed protective sleeve.

I had a little of time yesterday, so I decided to do the crankshaft relearn procedure anyway. Pretty easy, pretty quick and no issues through the process. Haven't noticed a difference - but it is complete.

Hello all, been away from the forum for a couple of months. Went into the emergency room for an sudden onset of a loss of vision event early January. Started with my left eye and migrated to include my right eye. In the hospital for eight days and went through numerous tests/scans and blood draws. Essentially I had significant swelling around both optic nerves. Only guesses on the cause. Out of commission for several weeks. At this time I have little use of my left eye. My right eye has recovered to the point where I've been cleared to drive last Thursday (daylight only). I lost a good portion of my ability to see contrasts. Hopefully as time goes by some additional improvements will occur.

Although I haven't been able to drive my Tahoe, my family have and they love it. Got in it Friday and took it for a spin. Wow, she drives so nice. Another 500 miles accumulated on the new engine. So far so good. Wrapped and preserved the engine I took out of it after cleaning it up a bit.

Good to be back on the forum.

Good to see you back on here! I pray that your sight will improve soon.

Personally I had toe surgery on my right foot and can't drive with it for 4 more weeks; I now have hand controls so I can at least get around for a while.

Glad to see you back Bob. Looks like we’ve both been dealing with medical issues. Sucks getting old.

Hope your foot heals quickly. Who installed the hand controls.

Thank you!

I did; they're just cheapies, a couple of rods that clamp to the pedals. Very temporary.

Thanks Mark. Agree. Never spent a night in the hospital until i crossed 60. Hope you are doing well/

Well I’m doing good but still in the middle of the fight. Just finished 4 rounds of chemo and starting chemo/radiation next month. Fighting to save my bladder; they wanted to take it but I persuaded them not to, at least not yet. I feel like I’m beating it, time will tell.
