When I worked as a GM tech....We would get Geo/Chevrolet Trackers in with AC performance complaints & there was noting to be done as the system was simply inadequate. I remember the later Geo/Chevrolet Prizm had all GM/Harrison AC hardware instead of Toyota/Denso & they performed much better...

I agree, Though the Lexus LS & later Avalon's do okay. My wife's Honda Odyssey is barely adequate above 95° with a new compressor, condenser, OE expansion valves & proper charge. My 2019 Yukon XL has the best AC performance of a vehicle I've owed. My 2001 Camaro does really, really well for it...

How are they not SURE the timing is off?

That's why automotive Oscilloscopes exist, How can one diagnose vehicles professionally without one?

You probably want to buy the camshaft lock tools. I would replace all 4 cam phasers using OE Ford parts. The cam tools would've been helpful to verify physical cam timing (To each other anyway) when you had the valve covers off. Also could've took a wrench to each camshaft to see if one of the...

2007 for GMT900 platform 5.3L's. The 2007 GMT800 Classic trucks did not have AFM. All LS4 FWD 5.3L's had AFM.

You could "Bus Bar" the grounds, It's how I like to wire Corvettes. I've used Littelfuse 882-869-7 with good results....It's meant as a positive bus bar & is fused. Just a added layer of protection really. Just need to run the appropriate gauge for the distance & amp load.

Texas law helps protect the inner city dwellers as well, Our dope fiends stick mostly to commercial property crimes as they're less likely to get killed in the process!

The "market" varies regionally.....Not going to get $10K for a GMT400 if it has ANY rust in DFW, What you would consider clean is a rusted out POS to us. A 305 2wd truck wouldn't come close to $10K!

Unless you have a DRW cab & chassis van....Those will NOT fit your van! Wheels off any B3500 will fit....Wheels off a older Ram 2500 will also fit....

2018 was the last year, The L8T wasn't offered yet. I'm not saying the HD 5.7L Hemi is a bad engine, But can't compete with a L8T far as power & torque. I'd also give duty cycle to the L8T for the lower HP per cubic inch, Piston cooling nozzles, And forged crankshaft.

You have a good understanding of how this works......To get top dollar, The stars need to align just right. Have you ever looked for the build sheet? At the end of the day....A car is only worth what someone is willing to pay, And as you eluded to....The pool of potential top buyers is ever...

I think GM 8x6.5"/16x6.5" wheels use a smaller center bore, Pretty sure any OE Dodge 16x6.5" wheels will fit & function well.

Whoever writes diagnostic flow charts need to spend some time in the trenches...I roll my eyes every time I read checking resistance when it comes to wiring & connections.

The 5.7L Hemi doesn't directly compete with the GM 6.6L L8T, If GM were to install a 6.6L in a 1500 & tweak it for the lighter duty cycle....450-470 horsepower would be easy.

Yes sir!....Got rid of the push connects & valve on mine.

Range Switch located on the transmission most likely.

He can beat warranty time which is less than normal customer pay,

A Hyundai dealer tech will be well versed on swapping 2.4L's out....It will likely have the same exact performance as before.

The rear stop lamps share the same power feed as the 3rd brake lamp. Check all the bulbs.....It would be so 2005 Chrysler for all those bulbs to be burnt out;)
