    AFM DFM Conundrum

    There are also two paths to consider: pull the motor, or work on it with the motor in place. If you pull the motor, it’s a lot easier to do the job, plus easier to get to quite a lot of other parts that you should consider changing. But it also takes work/time to pull the motor.

    Issue After Brake Rotor & Pad Replacement

    Drive around your neighborhood, then return home. Get a heat gun and point it at both brakes. If one brake on the same axle is significantly hotter than the other, there’s your sticking caliper. Calipers are cheap enough to just buy new. Get AC Delco / genuine GM, or pick a name brand you’ve...

    2017 Escalade ESV AFM delete project

    Some info here, plus Google and YouTube will net tons of hits https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/vacuum-pump-delete-great-new-option.148651/ I’m still running the factory vac pump, but if it fails/causes any issues, I’ll delete it.

    2017 Escalade ESV AFM delete project

    Yeah literally every genuine GM parts website site is run out the back of a dealership parts department.

    L83 5.3 with 7500rpm build - Suggestions?

    The racetrack / AutoX angle is tough. A high rpm screamer in a heavy street truck doesn’t sound enjoyable to drive. Have you considered a small gear change (slightly taller/lower numerically) so you aren’t bumping the limiter in 2nd?

    L83 5.3 with 7500rpm build - Suggestions?

    I would look into a GM crate L8P, 6.6L, nearly plug and play with 525 hp at the crank, for $9k-ish…then put your blower on that if you want more power. It won’t give you the rpm but it’ll give you all the power...

    Recommendations for OEM parts source for 2016 Tahoe LTZ

    I prefer dealers for OEM parts, because there’s too many fakes out there. Go to the parts counter and you’ll pay a lot. Got to the “discount GM parts” website that they run out of the same dealership, and parts are competitively priced. That’s a long way of saying I personally use...

    How to Crack Windows Open? '25 Denali

    The quick-press also works for the 3/6 flash turn signal assist. So don’t be that person who’s confusingly flashing their turn signals left and right just to get the flashes to stop.

    Would it make any sense to install a 1-2-BOTH-OFF switch for a dual batt setup?

    Yeah I don’t think there’s a good way to eliminate the harsh activation when the pawl engages.
