    2011 AFM Delete

    My son recently purchased a 2011 GMC Sierra with 5.3 V8. Pretty low miles for its age at 140k. He wants to do the AFM delete. What chip/method would you recommend. I see there are items available on Amazon. He wants something of quality that will last. Please advise. Thanks in advance!

    Les Schwab, reputable company?

    We got a Les Schwab tire store locally (70 miles away) about a year ago. I took my truck this time, which I rarely do. I noticed it pulling so while my wife was shopping next door at Menards, I brought the truck in for an alignment and then walked back over to Menards while the work was being...

    2000 Silverado 5.3L oil consumption

    The updated valve cover has been installed. 1400 miles and no signs of oil usage. Once this OCI is complete, my next OCI I will go back to Valvoline Restore and Protect to see if there is any usage just out of curiosity.

    2000 Silverado 5.3L oil consumption

    I’m about 1k miles into my current OCI using Mobile 1 Full Synthetic. No signs of oil consumption. This week, I will have the updated driver’s side valve cover with integrated PCV installed. After this OCI, I will try Valvoline R&P again just to see if the issue repeats itself.

    2000 Silverado 5.3L oil consumption

    Not changing back at this time. If consumption continues, I may swap out PCVs to see if it makes a difference. If no difference, I will put the new style PCV back in and look at installing the updated valve cover to see if that improves things.

    2000 Silverado 5.3L oil consumption

    I changed oil this weekend. Earlier than I normally would have. Had about 5k this OCI. OLM was saying to change oil and I was on the “rinse cycle “ following an Auto-Rx retreatment. Switched back to Mobil1 FS. Also picked up the old style PCV valve. Will monitor for usage.

    What are you working on today?

    I ordered some rubber trim from Amazon about a month ago. It’s round and hollow. I get atrocious wind noise. With 50 degree weather I installed it today. Added it just above where the factory trim is on the inside of the door frame. It helped but didn’t stop the noise completely. I was told by a...

    LED lights

    Why do I see so MANY newer automobiles with burned out LED headlights and marker lights? And you don’t just change bulbs in these. You have to change the entire lighting unit.
