Falling under the "you can't make this s*** up" category, I changed the plugs and it was worse. Very solid misfire (as opposed to the intermittent one I had previously). Immediate "Service Stabilitrak" and "Stabilitrak Disabled" messages. I double checked my work (even though it's tough to mess...
Okay - compression test results on the left bank are:
1 - 180 psi
3 - 155 psi (!)
5 - 180 psi
7 - 160 psi
So compression is okay in the #7. And, the insulator on the #7 spark plug is cracked. I know I swapped that from the #5 a couple of months ago and it did not correct the problem. I'm going...

Thanks for the reply. After reading your post I tried that and it's not sucking in carb cleaner around the intake gasket. That's somewhat of a relief since I don't want to have to replace that gasket. Although, i could still be looking at a mechanical problem.
I'm going try some SeaFoam or...
