    Any 200,000+ rigs here?

    Hi again: Well yes, original engine and 8L90 trans. I've done lots of maintenance and work on it. I have replaced the cam and lifters twice: at 206K and at 440K miles. The transmission gets new filter and fluid every 12 months. The thermostat bypass keeps the ATF cool, under 150F. lots of...

    High Mileage tahoes/yukons/suburbans

    I might also add that I still have the AFM. One change that i made this year is I switched from 0W-20 to 5W-30 oil. My hot loaded oil pressure was 19 psi with 0W-20. Now it is 30 psi with 5W-30. I have read that the minimum pressure needed to reliably operate the AFM system is 19 psi. I...

    High Mileage tahoes/yukons/suburbans

    Well, its the original engine and transmission ( 8L90 ). I did have to replace the cam and lifters at about 200K miles due to a worn cam lobe. And I had a torque convertor replaced back under warranty at about 60K miles due to the shudder issues. I stay on top of fluid changes: oil every 5K...

    8L90 Logic

    It sounds like you should do a "relearn" on the transmission adaptive values. Mine was doing the same thing with clunky and lurchy 1 - 2 shifts. You just need a scan toll with bidirectional capability to do this. I'm told the program is already built into the vehicles TCM. The scan tool just...

    Highway gas mileage

    Yes, I've always used 87 where i live. It will of course get more thirsty if i get happy with the pedal, but i get a bit of satisfaction of seeing nice MPG numbers and having the AFM do what it was designed to do, while still knowing there's 420 HP available if i want it.

    I made it! 2015 Yukon XL Denali, , 300,000 miles

    well, interesting question. I do my own work, so when i had the heads off I removed all the valves and had to wire brush the intakes. they were all caked with serious carbon buildup. see pic. But No, i didn't install a catch can. But i now know why some folks do.
