I have to pay it for the convenience. It's right across the street, and it's open when I can to them with the long hours I work. There is a welding supply near me but they only open during the week 7 - 5. Nearest Tractor Supply to me is a half hour away. Thanks for the tip though friends.

I have a gas station near me that fills propane tanks.

But now that I don't have a propane heater in the garage, and I converted my grill to natural gas I have 0 use for my 6 propane tanks... lol

Also I used the propane exchange thing a few times.

Usually because I picked up a garage sale beat up propane tank from the 90's, so I exchange it for a pretty one.

Here is a little tidbit, they fit perfectly into a standard milk crate. Keeps them from rolling around during transport. ;)

well...its a lifter.


thought it was the TQ or flexplate since we could hear the bellhousing making noise but shop found a failing one. They also gave me what seems to be an insanely high quote.7400 for lifters and cam if it needed it or 10k for a new motor....i can sure spend alot of my time working on it for that much money

yeah its insane. they said they will do the one bank thats failed for 3300...still seems inflated as hell
Yeah. That's nuts. You can tackle the job in a weekend or so.

It's crazy that it was intermittent on the noise. I'd almost question their diagnosis. When my lifter would stick, it was a constant knock sound.

Ive watched the videos...im pretty sure i have the skills to do them, especially if I leave the cam alone, but at the same time, if I do it, im going to get a DoD delete cam...atleast i think i should.

I would. I mean, I did. I also put a little truck cam in it

I'm happy with the cam out of a 6.2, good lift and it's cheap!

Duration at .050 in., 211/230,
Lift .562/.562, Chevy, LS9, Each

I have fancy heads, so I also added some 1.8 ratio full rollers to get a little more lift.

in a 6.0, it has excellent low end. :patriot:

That sounds like the "get him to go away" price.

I had that happen with an alignment on my vette.

I caught the whole thing on my dao_Osh cam.

So i just got off the phone with another dealership, thats actually closer to my house and their price was 4K for same repair.

I spoke with a shop here that does LS work, and the guy said they do 3-5 lifter/DoD a week, because its a rural town and everyone has GM trucks. They also build gnarly cameros and corvettes. He's at 3800 for it, 6.2 cam, LS7 lifters, timing chain + solid guide upgrade, everything else and dyno tuning all in. Soooo yeah...guess its 6.2 cam time

Sounds like they do the removal of DOD from the tune as well. :patriot:

That's on thing i was about to mention.
If you know someone with an hp tuner dongle, I can help you remove the AFM crap.
It's not hard at all.

Just remember to kill the codes for the DOD sensors if you also delete the valley cover.
With someone else doing it that knows what they are doing, it's even easier!
