Stick with OEM calipers or aftermarket??
Awesome, thanks guys. Warranty said should be covered but dang, I really wanted those red calipers! Eventually she will pass the torch to me and upgrade her way so then I’ll get to mod this hoe out my way!! ScottyBoy, I might be misunderstanding one part about the stock slide pins using a...- SpineDock

Stick with OEM calipers or aftermarket??
Hey guys, Took apart the rear passenger brakes and when comparing to the left side they have 10% remaining and the left pads have 75-80 and look good. The caliper in question has major tears in the protective boot and won’t compress full like the other side. Going to replace the caliper...- SpineDock

Tech 2 or Range AFM Disabler?
BlackBear - when SpyShops mentions those with the Range still getting failures compared to not seeing those tuned have failures… does this apply to what you guys do? Tune vs. just a Range AFM override? How does the tune differ from what the Range does? Thanks in advance!- SpineDock

Tech 2 or Range AFM Disabler?
WOW!! I appreciate you sharing the service reports! It looks like they changed the VLOM while replacing the lifter. And then the upper oil pan started leaking? We are nearing 60k miles on our 5.3L and trying to convince my wife to be preventative about this… So first steps are to change out the...- SpineDock

Tech 2 or Range AFM Disabler?
Ok I appreciate the advice and guidance. I didn’t know what VLOM was so I looked it up and found this article from Melling Engine Parts: TECHNICAL BULLETIN GM LS AFM Deactivation Lifter Issues We have noticed an increase in the issues surrounding the replacement of deactivation lifters in GM...- SpineDock

Tech 2 or Range AFM Disabler?
I’m also interested in a Blackbear tune over the Range but I wonder about leaving the stock setup in the top end of the motor and not swapping out the hard parts instead of just the soft(ware) parts… thoughts?- SpineDock

2022 SLT Yukon not shutting down when power off
What does the manual say? Did you lock it and then go back out in 5 or 10 minutes to recheck the dash? -
Range AFM Disabler or MBRP s5043al exhaust system
Debating on getting one of the two… I’m actually nervous about the Range and if it would cause issues down the road - damage to the motor by turning off the AFM, thoughts…?? The MBRP exhaust is straight forward and I will add it eventually, but is the Range worth adding first??- SpineDock

Upgrading the transmission - where to begin?
UPDATE: So I went a head and changed the transmission fluid and filter last weekend. I read and reread a couple threads on this forum in order to come up with a plan. It helped SO much!! I began with using an oil extractor pump and pulled 4 quarts out through the dipstick. I then went under the...- SpineDock

INPUT ON TRANS PAN DROP, FILTER, GASKET & FLUID CHANGE
I was one of the lucky ones who was able to remove it without messing with the exhaust. I had the jack stand ready with the ratchet strap nearby just in case. I did have to wiggle and twist and reset and slide the pan for about 5 minutes and then… voila! The kicker for me was pushing the front...- SpineDock

INPUT ON TRANS PAN DROP, FILTER, GASKET & FLUID CHANGE
I don’t know the answer to your question, it’s a good question however, I just did my fluid and filter last weekend using the upper transmission line and it spit out a good 4.5 quarts of dirty a** fluid and the truck hadn’t been started since the day before. I got 4.5 out of the pan so I’m happy...- SpineDock
