    Suspension Squats when loaded down

    I prefer the Firestone kits over AirLift. They have better air fittings and usually have a buffer disc to protect the top of the bag. https://www.firestoneairide.com/automotive/aftermarket/aftermarket-air-helper-spring-kits/coil-rite-kits/products/4108-coil-rite-air-springs/

    +1 on the VLOM/valley plate. Very common to leak and often disguised as a leak something lower on the engine.

    Need Good CKP Active Counter Graph; Intermittant Loss of Signal

    Yes, it's an intermittant problem. It's working right now but it isn't always. Tool is an Xtool D7

    Need Good CKP Active Counter Graph; Intermittant Loss of Signal

    Yes and no. It's a root cause analysis to try to narrow down the focus of an issue without firing off the parts cannon. The DTC and the issue are both intermittant so I'm looking for anomalies when it's running "right". If that's a normal Active Counter graph, then I'll move on to something else.

    Need Good CKP Active Counter Graph; Intermittant Loss of Signal

    CKP is just the Crankshaft Position Sensor. Looks like your tool spells all the names out. Can you record a graph like the one on the right, except for the crankshaft instead of the camshaft?

    Differential damage due to tire tread?

    Personally, I would have had them put the spare on, put the "bad" tire and bare wheel in the back and driven to a different tire shop... but I completely undestand the urgency and need to make a quick decision. Things happen.

    Differential damage due to tire tread?

    It's a non-issue. Also, "Because it was just a patch and not patch AND plug the tire shop was not able to install it due to liability" is a lie they told you to sell you a tire. Just FYI

    Misfires on one bank

    After you fix the exhaust leak, if the problem still exists then check the voltage feeds to the injectors and coils. Since the problem is on one bank, you only need to look at things for that bank. Systemic fixes like MAF, TB, fuel pump. filters, etc would show up on all cyliniders.

    It’s a goner, isn’t it?

    That was a failed AFM lifter. He has already deleted those.

    [SOLVED] Help appreciated finding my oil leak

    Concur with this. Most likely the valley plate and/or the pressure sending unit. Since you're already planning to do VC gaskets, might as well do intake and valley plate, too. And then you can take a better look at the pressure sender and see if it's leaking, either externally from the...

    Desperate help/ only vehicle

    Other than everything everyone has already mentioned, the only thing that comes to mind for me is a cracked flexplate. It could cause a smack sound when it cracks and would definitely cause a loud tick when running. Unfortunately, that's a ****** repair to do on your back but at least it's...

    Lower Ball Joints Recommendation

    Have to respectfully disgree with that 300k number. My ball joints had significant play at only 143k.

    2007 Yukon Timing Chain Tensioner Broke

    This is the answer. Your pistons smacked some valves and now you have no compression. And since it happened at highway speed and the chain only jumped but didn't break completely, there's a good chance that valves and/or pushrods in all eight cylinders are bent. You're going to be pulling...

    Looking for 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe repair manual

    I actually ended up putting a bottle jack with an extension under the oil pan rail. Maybe a little sketchy but worked like a charm.
