    2018 6.2 Chev gasoline engine failure

    Sorry, I worded that poorly. It has no roll at all in the AFM/DOD system. Its sole purpose is to give the brake booster vacuum. There was concern the booster did not get enough vacuum when the engines were shutting off cylinders, so the pump was used. My nephew's pedal got hard and the brakes...

    pulling sample from dipstick tube

    Sir please clarify, "We didn't change the oil". Was the oil changed before the initial start after the head came off and leaked coolant into the sump?

    stripped 3/8 diff drain plug, how to extract?

    Does it look just like the picture? If so and no welding skills like recommended above, smack it a few times with a hammer and use a pipe wrench on it.

    Valvoline 5 gal box?

    I have used their 5 gallon ATF boxes which should be the same. Set the box on the edge of your bench with your jug of choice under and the spout works great. Only issue is getting the last pint or so out. Just take the bag out of the box at that point.

    Switching to synthetic oil with exisiting leak - OK?

    Unlikely full synthetic Maxlife will make any difference one way or a other over a few months until spring. Pick a nice day and swap the easy front gasket you can see leaking. You will get an idea if it is sludged up or not and gain confidence to do the other.

    Donaldson DBL7405

    It is quite a bit larger than the OEM FL-1995. I switched to these since all the now $25+ Motorcraft ones I looked had closed louvers. This was $40 but I ran twice as long. The filter was clean, no carbon in the pleats or can. The filter media sat upright on a shop rag and the can was on its...

    2018 6.2 Chev gasoline engine failure

    I have only done the one 2014 6.2, never touched a LS/LT motor prior so I cant compare to the others. Only real differences from any other head/cam swap were under the valley plate. There are a couple metal fuel lines and the high pressure pump/lifter it rides on. I left the DI rails and...

    2018 6.2 Chev gasoline engine failure

    That vacuum pump is for the brake booster, needed during AFM activation for vacuum. It can be bypassed. Remove the belt and run a tee fitting and some hose to the booster off the PCV line for about $10 and 15 minutes. If you want to remove the pump totally, they sell plugs for the oil holes. Few...
