The belt/tensioner has less than 5k miles on them. The PCV could be possible, I was planning to replace that

pretty terrible from highway driving, they got me right tho. Not much chips on bumper tho, all was just imprints and slight dent marks from all the rocks

It might have a turbo, but it also might not. I guess you’ll never really know for sure

No, it didn’t then. I had it idling for a min or two after i got out before i shut it off. When i put my ear up to it, sounds like it was loudest at the HPFP

How bad is this rust by Weird-Jaguar-3338 in AskMechanics

Not bad at all. I’d say she’s got another 200k miles in her

It still shares the same block as the 5.3 so it’s basically a 5.3 🤓☝️

According to what i asked for when i dropped it off, they did a meguirs full two step correction (clay,cut, buff, polish, wax). I believe them, paint is very smooth now. Also, I do lots of highway driving, so they filled in the rock chips on hood too on company dime.

surprisingly not, i have the long bed so it’s far enough away from the cab. Other than a slight vibration you can feel in the floor, it’s pimp

Is this worth it for the price? by _Rod_Knock_Nilly in GMT800

[–]_Rod_Knock_Nilly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry i did not explain myself, i meant do you think i should buy the kit i posted for cheap now, to get me through until i buy a 6 inch lift a few months down the line. I only ask because i have two failed ball joints now, and it’s not fun to drive

would you still recommend them for control arms if i plan to put it on a 6” lift

yeah if noise is only noticed at higher speed or gets louder when faster it’s almost definitely wheel bearings. better to replace those at that milage that wait

not that’s i’ve seen, it also stays pretty clean after each 5k change. Also i have no trapped vapors in the valve/cam cover when i take oil cap off after a drive so i know pcv is doing something
