    RPM Fluctuation

    @RobbyD Very nice, hang tight for Nick. I am confident he will be able to help you figure out what's going on.

    RPM Fluctuation

    Before jumping to the torque converter being bad lets investigate things that would cause the TC to engage or disengage. Maybe the transmission is being commanded to exit/enter TC lockup? This looks like a 07 4l60e

    2012 Tahoe 5.3 tap/misfire

    @shafner79 That sounds like a good plan. You won’t know the extent of the situation until you open the motor but if you can bide time until it’s more convenient I can respect that.

    2012 Tahoe 5.3 tap/misfire

    @shafner79 That's a common problem with this platform. Moving forward there are a few options in navigating the situation depending on your goals. The proper fix would be to open the top of the motor up and remove the parts of the AFM system and put the motor back together using non AFM parts...

    Po305 Misfire Cylinder 5

    Could move the plug, wire, and coil and see if it follows. It sounds like you are on the right track, at least it doesn't sound like a mechanical problem

    Engine or tire making spinning metal clank sound

    @The Grey Beast I'm curious how you got your insurance to pay to replace 2 old broken axles

    Po305 Misfire Cylinder 5

    @Dantheman-2003 Is it making any concerning sounds?

    Just curious what you guys think of this coolant level. Has dropped from full since feb 2023 when I got it.

    Keep in mind the coolant level will vary hot vs cold

    Popping thud noise 2010 tahoe ltz only hear it when roads are wet

    @kemperboy01 That is a common situation when you lift the Tahoe, most people just chop that droop stop off. I've cut mine off

    Popping thud noise 2010 tahoe ltz only hear it when roads are wet

    Since the day I bought my Tahoe there has been a thud/clunk when turning left over uneven ground. Everything in the front has been replaced except for the steering rack and body mounts and the thud is still there to this day. It seems to be coming from the front driver side area it could be...

    2007 5.3 year compatibility

    @tjoyce81 Thats a hard thought. Because you didn’t neglect the timing chain you are punished for it… might have been better off neglecting it. I put a new melling timing chain in mine a couple years ago knock on wood.

    2wd to 4wd swap? Advice or input

    I could be wrong but I think you need to open the transmission up in order to convert it.

    SOLVED - New engine with DOD delete and Cam Motion cam - valvetrain noise normal?

    @bcbickers Does your engine sound like the one in this video?

    Shudder at 20mph on deceleration.

    His signature says 07 and he said he puts it into “3” so guessing 4l60e

    220k mile Potential purchase

    @Denali GMC 87 Sounds like a good rig. The oil pressure sending unit sounds interesting, I would take it for a nice long and hot test drive to make sure there are no oil pressure concerns that comes up. Other than that you get what you see with these things. If it runs well and passes a...

    Shudder at 20mph on deceleration.

    Bad motor mounts would certainly make whatever is happening more noticeable. One way to check motor mounts is to gun the throttle really good from a stop and if you notice a thud or clunk that is probably your motor twisting under the hood because the motor mount has work and the engine is able...

    Front sway bar flapping around in the wind

    @BG1988 Shouldn't be loose. There are 2 C mounts that hold it to the frame under the front doors and then there are links that hold it to the front bottom control arms, so a total of 4 mounting points. Identify what parts have failed and remediate.

    SOLVED - New engine with DOD delete and Cam Motion cam - valvetrain noise normal?

    @bcbickers Like others have said, you said that you got a tune and a larger cam is the tune compensated for the cam? You might just by hyper aware of sound of the engine. One of these engines in good condition WILL sound like a sewing machine and does make a lot of sound but that's normal. If...

    @strutaeng I hear you, discovering a broken timing chain and a spun bearing does widen the scope of repair

    2007 5.3 year compatibility

    @tjoyce81 I’ve heard of that being a concern but until now it was more of a legend, this is my first time seeing it. Glad I used the LS3 dampener I look forward to seeing the rest of it

    @strutaeng Does a broken timing chain cause a spun main bearing?

    The DOD tick finally got to me

    @Marky Dissod I have been looking all morning and I wasn't able to find one with the same lobe profile as the L33 cam that also has VVT, I wonder if someone else would know

    2007 5.3 year compatibility

    @petethepug Gotcha, I have a mechanically AFM deleted 5.3 that has AFM tuned out with a Black Bear tune. Just wondering if I got bored enough if I could drop a 6.0 in or if I needed to do anything else.

    2007 5.3 year compatibility

    @petethepug If you already have AFM tuned out would you be good to go or are there other tuning things that need to be done to make it compatible?

    2007 5.3 year compatibility

    I think the LMF is a 5.3 without AFM but they are not very common. If you are going to pull the motor apart any 07-14 5.3 should work, you'll just need to delete the parts of it that you don't want, like AFM or VVT and keep the flex fuel injectors if you want to retain that feature.
