Totaled Cosmetic Only - What to do?!!
Are you referring to the 6.6 Liter Diesel? I'm considering a Diesel (I don't quite haul enough to justify it) but I'm wide open to anything that is half as reliable aa this vehicle has been for me. Considering I get 11.5 mpg and use premium fuel a diesel rig might save me money. My preference...- Pointer 21

Totaled Cosmetic Only - What to do?!!
Yessir - That tree did me dirty!! The rest of the truck is fine; however, it's getting those "almost 200K" nuances of small issues, squeaks, etc. I'm really not wanting a new vehicle I don't know what I'd buy even if money weren't a factor!- Pointer 21

So take off my aftermarket parts and as opposed to taking a savage title, let insurance have the vehicle?- Pointer 21

Totaled Cosmetic Only - What to do?!!
I have a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado with 167K miles on it - Another old but well running truck. I'd love to sell both vehicles and get ONE Truck (not SUV). Getting top value and finding a reliable newer truck seems to damn near impossible. Consider that right now (aside from cosmetic damage) the...- Pointer 21

2012 Yukon Denali - 6.2 lifter or something else? [Advice/How to Proceed]
BBP tune is ordered. To better understand.........Wouldn't I need to drive the vehicle a number of miles, send the data to BBP and receive back the custom tune via email? Assuming that is the process - What if it goes back to misfiring cylinder 1 during analytics testing?- Pointer 21

Thanks Gents! I'm a bit confused on BBP "newish approach". I spoke with a rep RIGHT when this issue was starting. He was very helpful; however, I wasn't exactly sure which route to take as there were different options (then what was offered in previous years as they changed their business...- Pointer 21

Bringing this thread back!! OP here.........The vehicle has been at the mechanic's shop for 1 month (he was out of the country and has a ton of other vehicles); however, VERY HONEST. SHORT STORY LONG - He has driven the vehicle a total of 34 miles and the following is his diagnosis: The...- Pointer 21

The noise was caught early and at my house. No check engine light and was questionable while trouble shooting. After checking, rechecking and moving the vehicle it suddenly stopped for 20+min in the driveway. Drove 1/4 mile and the check engine light came on and it was back only worse.- Pointer 21

@swathdiver - THANK YOU SIR! @swathdiver @Geotrash - Oh hell, so per the last fire drill I had like this (that ya'll walked me through in late 2021 regarding the transmission) and when I had the rear main seal replaced. I had a clown (maybe 2) tell me that bc the vehicle was AWD and the oil...- Pointer 21

I'm not above turning wrenches but I do have to pick and choose which projects to take on (My Polaris, Dirtbike, hunting & fishing addiction) keeps me in the red. I'm pretty pissed about this deal aside from this forum the mechanics are talking crazy...almost clueless. Of course there's the...- Pointer 21

Ok - things are moving fast and I'm KINDA picking up the process; however, my mechanic is saying he would "simply replace all the deactivation lifters with regular lifters for me to deactivate the system. A stuck lifter is never worked on to get unstuck. It is always replaced". I had a hunch...- Pointer 21

Appreciate the feedback and excuse my ignorance here. Is the process to have the lifter unstuck and then delete the AFM system? Therefore I wouldn’t need extra parts and I would keep rolling? I’m thinking that a @BlackBearPerf will be purchased; however, I want to make sure the vehicle is...- Pointer 21
