Best video for a cam swap by far. I looked through 50 different videos and they were all missing steps here or there. I'm glad I found one that didn't require removing the oil pan to get the oil pump off. Nice job!
Thank you so much Brother I wish I had some Mexican friends I learn so much from watching you guys cuhh, lol, we have the same interest In trucks. unfortunately there's no Mexicans here. So I just watch you guys videos.thanks so much I truly appreciate this god bless Brother Jason p....
@@mattborski9752 not every Mexican is a gang banger buddy. Don’t paint a brush on all of us. Most of us are hard working and have family values. Those gang bangers you talk about are cholos, they were born here and are losers. They call themselves “Chicanos” whatever that is.
@@mattborski9752 you need help. The hate in you is not good but to each is own. In addition , I have no need for white folks like you either. I own a real estate fuel in California and I hire white folks. I contribute to this country since I was born here but I always refer myself as Mexican. But I hire your kind all the time I guess there’s no need for people like me uh. Lol you’re a joke
Amazing video bro. My 04 Avalanche just started tapping on the top end driver side so I’m already planning a cam swap and mild refresh. I have some mechanical experience but none with swapping a cam. Video was super easy to follow and gives me confidence to tackle this. Appreciate you dawg 🙏🏾
Good video, only thing you forgot to Mention/Do do was to leave the front cover bolts loose/hand tight while installing harmonic balancer to align the front cover seal with the balancer. Forget this step you might be looking at a front crank seal leak very soon. Easy to do, no reason not to do it!
Friday I'm putting a stage 1 cam in my truck; well I'm paiying a guy to do it for me. I like the work you do!! I subscribed to your videos; I ca n't wait to watch the next one!
Can you please show how to do a cam replacement video for l99 engines? I have a 2015 Camaro and I want to get rid of my AFM system. I also want to get rid of the lifters that eventually fail. Or, do you know of a channel that has done this type of conversion?
Love this video! Just loved how he said you'd have to twist and pull at the same time to remove camshaft, cuts into clip of him easily pulling it out without spinning it. HAHA! Let's pray mine comes out this easy Amazing video with AMAZING tips!
Question... What do you get by doing that? More speed... More power....less gas consumption.... etc..? Let me know please I have a 2005 silverado crew cab 5.3
I ask a mechanic to see how much he would charge for the job he told me that the heads need to be remove to install the cams 09 sierra 4.8 its that true. Thank you for the info...
that back bold is super easy the only hack i did was one simple .... body lift lol i have a 2 inch body lift everything is way easy headers intake man covers more space at the firwall even when i did trans rebuild the top bolds were supper easy to get to
I have a 4.8 LS silverado 1500 2012 My lifters and cam took a shit. Im replacing everything, from camshaft to lifters to new oil pump high volume. I bought the regular Standard GM camshaft. Will I still be able to notice some more horsepower? Not that I'm racing my truck or anything. Just want to know if I will feel a difference.
My put a new motor new ones I need to haters and a muffler to sounds. I like this truck better I need new new motor. I need a new size of the truck tires. You have any black grown tires black this truck and fit me and I like this truck better, you’re fixing it once the new one I need a new one, the black, the black top all black the hood under open the black 6:48
So you can do a 4l80 trans on a 4.8l ?!?!?! Any mods ? And can you tell me the full info on the cam swap package pls ! I also have a 4.8l with low miles 04 Sierra and would like to get the same done to it , thank you in advance
Yes. Make sure you match your springs to the cam. Those springs with the heads might be new but might be too weak for the cam. You’ll get valve float with stock springs.
Hey bro is there any way you can send me a link to where you got the cam I'm having a hard time finding the right cam but it be the same thing that you ran that truck if you could could you send me a the link to where you bought it at I really appreciate it
This has to be one of the best step by step video on how to cam swap a motor.
I was kind of intimidated about doing it myself but you made it simple thanks .

If you want Mexican friends all you got to do is move to California just like Tijuana Mexican flags flying and everything enjoy

Bro thanks for this video!!! Just finished mine up last night. Watched your video the whole time!
Very well put . Was much informative. Can't wait to do my 04' 5.3 vortec LS Silverado.
Amazing video bro. My 04 Avalanche just started tapping on the top end driver side so I’m already planning a cam swap and mild refresh. I have some mechanical experience but none with swapping a cam. Video was super easy to follow and gives me confidence to tackle this. Appreciate you dawg 🙏🏾
I have 04 Avalanche as well, what type and brand CAM are you getting also required to replace the valve springs or not.
This was one of the best how to videos I’ve seen very thorough.
Very nice video, answered a couple of concerns I had. My 2008 is AFM but the process is much the same. Thanks for sharing your mechanical expertise 👍
One of the best videos I’ve experience. Well explain detail for details. I might have to take a trip to Arizona.
Man really nice video
Well organized and the process
Step by step
I'm following you now
Thanks man

People who tried it missed this and have no running car

Nice work on the Video! Straight to the point, Step by Step and BS. Good job Sir
Sounds Beast!! Makes me want to Cam my 5.3 single Cab lifted GMC sierra 08
It would sound monstrous 🦾
On the valve covers, I removed the last Coil Pack, installed the bracket, and then put the coil pack back on.
I like hearing the rain Crow in the background.
Excellent step by step - pause and continue easy to follow instructions 👍🏻 😀 👏
Thanks!!
What about the changing out the DOD lifters before installing the high performance cam?@@proyectosloscarnales4512

Thanks for the info, I’m fixing to try and take on the job myself for my GMC. Just got my Chopacabra Cam
Una pregunta no tienes que ajustar las válvulas por los silindros ?
When tightening the rocker arm studs do you need to rotate the engine to make sure there is no spring pressure or does it not matter?
Thanks to your video I was able to do my truck but now I need a tune, do you know anyone in the valley that does mobile tuning?
Fantastic video! The detail was great for a first timer
Love this video! Just loved how he said you'd have to twist and pull at the same time to remove camshaft, cuts into clip of him easily pulling it out without spinning it. HAHA!

Amazing video with AMAZING tips!
Did you have to remove the radiator by chance I wasn’t able to see if you had to or not
Question... What do you get by doing that? More speed... More power....less gas consumption.... etc..?
Let me know please
I have a 2005 silverado crew cab 5.3
bad ass carnal, love the step by step tutorial… i want to do a small one on my 13 5.3, this definitely helps my decision on tackling myself…
Easy to follow your advice. Thank you
I ask a mechanic to see how much he would charge for the job he told me that the heads need to be remove to install the cams 09 sierra 4.8 its that true. Thank you for the info...
It sounds sick and I really like that exhaust outlet
that back bold is super easy the only hack i did was one simple .... body lift lol i have a 2 inch body lift everything is way easy headers intake man covers more space at the firwall even when i did trans rebuild the top bolds were supper easy to get to
You didn’t remove lifters,,,??? How do they not fall when cam is out?
Hey amigo ,.. I have 2005 gmc sierra want to do stage2 swap,.. did you Remplace the oil pump and put new lifters
Excellent video brother, you’re an awesome mechanic
I have a 4.8 LS silverado 1500 2012

i have seen some videos and most of them remove the head and lifters where can i get the tool to hold up the lifters
Thanks. This video IS the best. Just added a Truck Norris to my Avalanche.
Doing that as of rn what year is yours?
can you show how you mounted that year style hd bumper
I don't have shop compressor that would run air long time, can I do it with TDS method?
Do you need a rebuilt transmission I have 6.2 Cadillac Escalade 120k miles
Wish you were in Miami area to do my truck bro very detailed
Do you need to change out the valve springs or can you just put the cam in and then be done?
Can I replace my cam without putting the holders, after I put the came in I’m removing my head to replace my lifters
Hey I have a 3.6 v6 gmc canyon 2019 !! I’m looking cams for it !! Wich you recommend thanks for all your videos
I appreciate the video, very in depth on the install
awesome job,how long does this take to complete and how much can someone expect to pay for labor? on a 5.3
Labor is about 1500-2500 depending where you live. Takes 3 days tops to do this job. Longer if you take the heads off for whatever reason.
My put a new motor new ones I need to haters and a muffler to sounds. I like this truck better I need new new motor. I need a new size of the truck tires. You have any black grown tires black this truck and fit me and I like this truck better, you’re fixing it once the new one I need a new one, the black, the black top all black the hood under open the black 6:48
@@jimmyortiz4113I read 3 times, I still don’t understand
You know any remote tuners for after your done
If I want to mod my 5.3 but I’m a broke car guy can I do the mods I want over time and let the car sit the tune when I’m done adding mods ??
To do a cammed do I need to upgrade my transmission?
🔥🔥 I need to learn all this for when I start working on mine 😈
Did you have to measure pushrod length or the old ones did the job
You put out a great video, good camera angles and proper information, thanks bro! 💪🏽
Or can I throw cam shaft in and just grab a tune and be fine ?
Did you get a check engine light after?
How much would you charge to cam a 99 Chevy Tahoe 5.7l vortec?
Great video dude! You were meant to teach bro. Truck sounds excellent, well done.
How much do you charge to cam ?
Supposed to loosen spark plug by hand (ratchet) then using a power tool to get it of
So you won’t damage the treads
So if my 08 escalde 6.2 doesn’t have dod I just need a cam kit and vvt delete kit?
So when putting in the new valve spring and retainers did you have to supply air to each cylinder like on the first one you did?
You made it look so easy homie
🤙🏻 orlale
Is that an oil catch can I see?
Need suggestions tuning 5.3 2015 just installed the chopa and keeps stalling, takes long to crank over after warm up… any help is great appreciated
Sounds like you need a tune.
Awesome video, thanks. Does the cam fit in and out without removing the efans on a 2005 4.8l?
Naw u need to remove I even had to losen the radiator
Nice! What part of AZ are you at brother?
So you can do a 4l80 trans on a 4.8l ?!?!?! Any mods ? And can you tell me the full info on the cam swap package pls ! I also have a 4.8l with low miles 04 Sierra and would like to get the same done to it , thank you in advance
Good work man also very specific with your steps thanks wish you were in Houston tx will be my mechanic
I have 5.3 vortec GMC Yukon 2001 I'm trying do a cam swap on it
If I upgrade my heads (the ones that come assembled) do i still need to put those springs that came with the cams?
Yes. Make sure you match your springs to the cam. Those springs with the heads might be new but might be too weak for the cam. You’ll get valve float with stock springs.
big dawg status💪🏿😮💨💯
Did you have to remove the rad to have enough room to pull the cam? Looked like it was still in there but hard to say. Thanks
Yah remove
Grat video man!!! I do have a question when supplying air the the spark plug hole what psi did u use and does it matter where the piston is??
where do you suggest I purchase lifters from?
Very thorough explanation brother!!! Great help, and GREAT JOB!!!
Great how my friend, I'm definitely subscribing.
Great work bro…. Keep em coming
This is a great video. Any recommendations on a shop to tune after a cam and afm/dod delete here in Arizona. Thank you in advance
Pinky Tuned, anyone you ask about him has nothing but great things to say !
What PSI do you want to regulate your air compressor to when applying the air the cylinder? Thanks.
Hey bro is there any way you can send me a link to where you got the cam I'm having a hard time finding the right cam but it be the same thing that you ran that truck if you could could you send me a the link to where you bought it at I really appreciate it
What about push rod length
Bad ass video bro ‼️‼️‼️definitely going to subscribe after seeing this
How much to do a cam install ? I live in az
Your truly the greatest of all time 🔥💯🔥
You’re shop is out in Az?
I have a 08 crew cab I was wondering what I should I get do I get the same things you got? And what link I could buy them in
You can go on Brian Tooley racing or Texas speed they have kits and suggestions on what to get with the specific cam you want.
Do you do this for cash?? I got a 00 Silverado 5.3 in Avondale. 👀
30:16 that expression and the “verga” that came afterwards says it was money well spent.😊
Why do most of the videos not replace lifters even on high mileage engines
Do you recommend changing new valve cover gasket’s??
definitely they come off anyways and for the 25ish price range I wouldn't want to risk an oil leak since everything is off already
That was a very educational experience.. great job man… 😊
Do you need to tune your truck after you do a cam is it necessary?
How do I choose a cam I have a engine that came out of a 2005 Chevy suburban that’s about all I know other than it’s 5.3 v8
