    2014 Yukon XL - LC9 5.3L blew up @ 94,*** Miles! - New Motor!

    After doing some digging and looking around. In the past I have used Lunati Voodoo camshafts on a Olds 455 and had really great results. Ive looked at crane cams, summit racing and others and I have not found cams or kits that will fit this application (some dont even exist!!) It looks like...

    2014 Yukon XL - LC9 5.3L blew up @ 94,*** Miles! - New Motor!

    Awesome, thanks for the solid feedback! I guess i'll be doing the AFM Delete next on the list and do the new cam / lifters. Now, I have heard from doing a bunch of research that there are some GM Cam's that are awesome to really wake up this motor for pretty cheap cause of the millions of $$...

    2014 Yukon XL - LC9 5.3L blew up @ 94,*** Miles due to AFM - New Motor!

    Haha thats the part im afraid of! You start off with a simple fix, and then while you are in there you start to upgrade 1 thing which leads to another haha Either way, it sounds like a programmer that turns off the AFM doesnt really resolve the issue and you really need to get into the motor...

    2014 Yukon XL - LC9 5.3L blew up @ 94,*** Miles! - New Motor!

    Well with that kit it actually uses the stock headers which is interesting along with a custom downpipe, the hot and cold side is included with the entire kit which is awesome! The camshaft upgrade sounds like its going to be more of a pain than what its worth with pulling the heads, DOD...

    2014 Yukon XL - LC9 5.3L blew up @ 94,*** Miles due to AFM - New Motor!

    Did you do it with a kit or other means? Sounds like a 100k mileage problem where the motor just self destructs! Have others had this experience as well?

    2014 Yukon XL - LC9 5.3L blew up @ 94,*** Miles due to AFM - New Motor!

    Hey guys, I have not been on here in a while and need some advice. A few weeks prior i was getting random check engine lights that would go on / off and would say #1 cylinder misfire. I did the standard troubleshooting steps prior to that such as fuel injector, all new plugs / wires etc Just...

    Rear Mounted turbo - 2014 GMC Yukon XL (5.3L)

    I agree the single turbo is small and would either need to do a single large turbo or twin which will help with spooling / lag. Seems from all the reviews as long as you are not pushing 30+PSI and provide it with proper oil they seem to hold up pretty well. Since i dont really plan on drag...

    Rear Mounted turbo - 2014 GMC Yukon XL (5.3L)

    Thanks for the heads up and the great information that should get me started and moving forward... I was thinking that due to the e85 injectors it might be able to compensate for the extra "Powa!!" from the turbo's I remember I had an Edge / Juice tuner on my 2500 Duramax diesel that plugged...

    Rear Mounted turbo - 2014 GMC Yukon XL (5.3L)

    Google will only get you so far from theoretical to practical application. I was hoping to get at least some useful information like: Hey the turbo is too small... try something like this *** You will need a custom tune and that is $$$$$$ Stock injectors wont work for your requirements... etc...

    Rear Mounted turbo - 2014 GMC Yukon XL (5.3L)

    True, but it would be easy to create a plate to protect it underneath. I live here in FL and do the really have to worry about that. We are still suffering from a severe snow drought and not really sure when / if we will ever get out next storm :-) There are some challenges with doing this kind...

    Rear Mounted turbo - 2014 GMC Yukon XL (5.3L)

    So after looking around and doing some digging I wanted to produce more power with this 5.3L that is in my Yukon XL and dont want to drop $6K + For the edelbrock supercharger system out of the box and keep it to $1,000 or less. I have been doing a ton of research on rear mount turbo setups and...
