Last Febuary my wife had the itch for a new vehicle. Ended up with a 2015 Denali with 85k on it. I know better to buy a first year vehicle, but she loved it and I got it. Its a nice ride for sure. Does not have any of
the buffeting issues I always read about. I have always been worried about the lifters failing, but all has been good.

Fast forward to last Saturday. Im out in the garage when she comes home from work. I know as soon as she was coming down the driveway what had happened. Sounded like a 40 year old diesel truck with bad injectors. 104k on it so 4,000 miles out of warranty. They timed that one just right huh?

So I have this thing tore down waiting on parts. Ended up goin with a TSP "SV" cam. Deleted the AFM but keepin the VVT. Hopefully everything else is good for another 100k. Anyway just here to vent a little and cry on you guys shoulder. Haha064e7febf4e954b7fb63d05b21d980d8.jpg

damn that sucks, pushrod fall out of the cup on one end and wedge somewhere?


maybe she just sabotaged it cause she wanted a cammed denali [emoji38]
Haha. Maybe she did. Im assuming it fell out of the cup when the lifter failed. It was hammering pretty good.
