    2013 LT - PCV change (i.e. valve cover change) engine code LMG

    If you find my (same post) in the other model year section, a couple of users pointed out some good catch cans and tips. My pictures looked similar to yours but I had the new style of cover with larger opening. They were stuck hard and It was a PITA to clean. I honestly would just buy new. I...

    Full size spare swap when getting new set?

    That’s a good point. We can grab a 5th tire, as I plan to run at least the set out, and by then the spare might be way past dead. Thinking back, when we had our rock puncture in the smokies I was worried how far that old spare would run. It’s good for a in town spare at the best now. But I’m...

    Thanks! Great info. And I realized late night that I posted this in the wrong area (00-06) but you are all so helpful. I’m out of degreaser so I will just grab some with the new gaskets. I can Inspect the sensor too. What’s your recommendation on catch can? Brand, type, are there multiple...

    Hi All. (Accidentally posted in wrong model year forum) 00-06 115k on my 13 LT z71 Tahoe. At the 100k noticed a bit of oil leak around valve cover and driver side plugs were black. Getting a bit worse on oil presence and some oil consumption, concerns in last oil change, although “within GM...

    Hi All. 115k on my Tahoe. At the 100k noticed a bit of oil leak around valve cover and driver side plugs were black. Getting a bit worse on oil presence and some oil consumption, concerns in last oil change, although “within GM specs.” Truck still runs great. The PCV might be misbehaving...
