    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Is anyone else waiting for the market to get flooded with buildable 6.2L cores for cheap?

    BFG "Pursuit" tires/ stock sizes

    I managed to get 40,000 miles out of my last set of Eagle RS/A stock sized tires this time, so I was looking for something with more life in it. I picked up a set of BF Goodrich Elite Force T/As for under $200 each. The only thing that sucks about buying a cop specific sized tire is you get...

    PPV and engine hours.

    Mine had about 14000 hours (190,000 driven miles) on it before the #6 lifter gave up the ghost.

    2012 Suburban Misfire #5 drama

    There’s diagrams on the LS swaps site, that’s where I found mine. I’ll see if I can locate them for the ’12.

    2012 Suburban Misfire #5 drama

    my 2010 had a strangely similar issue once, I'd circle back to that bundle of wires near the power steering pump. I've seen a few threads out there on the internet about those wires rubbing through and shorting, and the weird nature of this one feels very similar. Your P219A could also be...

    L83 engine swap summary, finally getting to the finish line

    I will combine some of my other threads here with the pics of the injector wiring, but I agree on the humor part. I started doing engine swaps as a side hustle at the auto hobby shops on whatever base I was assigned to. I was one of those hyper focused work until 3am if necessary types, always...

    L83 engine swap summary, finally getting to the finish line

    Thanks! I love forums as a whole. Its a knowlege base that never goes away, and they're a lot more concise than Youtube channels. Its not to knock Youtube, I use it a lot (and publish stuff on there), but you can't beat a good forum.

    Cluster Reprogramming for Radio Button upgrade

    nothing ventured, I suppose, but there aren't any menus in the CReader that will do any of those functions. It will "program" the cluster, but its basically just a BCM refresh.

    Cluster Reprogramming for Radio Button upgrade

    latest update. I have a "LAUNCH" Creader Elite for my BMW. It has bidirectional communications/ can program modules for my BMW. It has the option to add OEMs to it, so I researched. The GM module allows for overwriting Instrument clusters. Its $40/year, so I'm trying it.

    L83 engine swap summary, finally getting to the finish line

    I've been using ChatGPT 4.0 as a research tool as I did my swap, the nice thing is that it "remembers" things, so I was able to get it to make a summary, which I tweaked quite a bit. 2015 Chevy Tahoe Engine Swap – What Went Wrong & What I Learned So, you’re thinking about swapping an engine...

    2015 tahoe 275k help needed

    If your oil pressure is good (unlikely someone would do a cam swap without replacing the oil pump), I'd look at crumbling wire looms or plastic "T" connections dry rotting from that much heat soak. Now that I've put a reman, non-AFM (deleted), engine in my truck, I would expect it to last...

    Cluster Reprogramming for Radio Button upgrade

    more Grokiness: does the cluster need to be programmed in the vehicle, or is that an external harness? For your 2015 Tahoe PPV swapping to a 2018 PPV cluster, the programming typically needs to happen in the vehicle, not with an external harness. Here’s why and how it works with GM’s systems...

    Cluster Reprogramming for Radio Button upgrade

    It makes perfect sense. I threw the issue into Grok this morning, and was amazed at how detailed and logical the response was, almost scarily so. It suggested that I try plugging the cluster in and see if it powers up, and if the buttons work (turn the key on, but don't try to start the...

    Cluster Reprogramming for Radio Button upgrade

    I talked to the local GM dealer, they're "willing to try" programming the used cluster for 2 hrs labor. They want the truck and cluster there at the same time "in case they need assistance from the GM tech center remotely. I'm admittedly ignorant of all of the stuff that they could encounter...
