It was definitely hard to see, at least for me, the wiping of the cam bearings, thanks for slowing down and cleaning it up and using the different lighting. ☺️
Thanks for the share! One of the best informative videos on the LC9! I did my DOD Delete valley plate & a high volume oil pump & still have 10-20 lbs of oil pressure. My guess is that I should of replaced cam bearings with the cam.
Hey Michael. This engine had low oil pressure and the only signs of wear that we found were the cam bearing. I was surprised that it had that much of an impact on the pressure. You might want to pull the valve covers off and see if you are getting oil out of the push rods up to the rockers. If your getting good amount you may be fine with that pressure and a high volume pump. I am assuming that 10 to 20 is at idle. Jerry
Thank you Jerry for the reply! I love your content! Will be following! WILL DO! 10-20 @ idle is correct. New lifters, trays, pushrods, cam, valley cover with rivets & the oil pump all new. A little mad at myself for not changing bearings at that point but motor only has 78k on it. Thank you! Will check valve covers!!
My 2010 GMC Sierra has 147k miles and is smooth as glass. I electronically disabled DoD with hp tuners. I am going to perform the physical DoD this spring. While doing it I want to replace anything and everything while we are there. I want it built for dependability. I bought the truck from my mom after my father had passed. I seen the jerks that wanted to go play in the truck on test drives and then try to talk my mother down. I decided my dad’s truck needed to only be registered from father to son. Then as I was freshening everything up, I came to the conclusion that I have to pass this truck on to my son. My son was named after my father and it just seems fitting. In 10 more years, I will be able to pass the truck onto the third generation. I know my pops would be proud that his truck, his baby wasn’t just thrown to the wolves and that it was maintained and repaired with the knowledge he passed to me and that I am passing to my son and my daughter. Those lessons have served me well throughout the years and I am so proud and thankful to my dad for sharing and for the opportunity to pass the fix anything mentality to my kids. Thanks for the great video, I enjoy your detail. You can tell when a good man takes pride in his work. It is always apparent in the results! 👍
Thanks so much, Rob! Sounds like you're on the right track to enjoy that truck for generations to come. Anyone who grows up with an appreciation for a vehicle and the knowledge to take care of it, is miles ahead in our book. Nice work! We appreciate you watching our stuff! --Emily and Jerry
Vlom is what they called the afm valley plate, variable lifter oil manifold. I think you mispoke a few times in the video, the lifter cant of course lift up off the cam, theres a locking mechanism in the lifter so when unlocked the spring absorbs the lifting action from the lobe and the valve on the dod cylinders stays closed, so the lifter still moves, when they fail the ussually collapse further than designed and get stuck, easy to check by removing valve cover and checking for floppy rocker arms. Great tear down video and good explanations other wise
I have the same engine in my 2011 avalanche and I dread the day this occurs. Only has 69k right now and I've disabled the AFM/DOD with my handheld tuner but I've read/heard that the lifters/cam will eventually fail anyways since they're junk. My 08 avalanche got to 190k with no issues before I traded it in so we'll see
If you have disabled the afm you should be fine. As long as the dod manifold on the top of the motor between heads stays tight. They have a tendency to have the bolts come loose.
I have had to replace so many of those damn dod lifters. I usually just convince the customer to let me turn it off with hp tuners. Then if they sell the truck or something else it can be turned back on if needed. Good video.
😬😬 If it was just tiny glittery pieces, you might be able to save it! We'll have part 2 of this as soon as we get the parts back from the machine shop, so if there's any questions you have about your Yukon, let us know and we'll do our best to help you out!
Great video! I've watched a lot of these LC9 videos as I am dealing with one right now. In your humble opinion, what is the best route rebuild or replace? This is for a 2008 Chevy Avalanche that has been very well cared for. Body is in great shape and interior is nearly flawless as it has had seat covers and dash pad on since it was new. I just cant stomach the $8500 quote to replace the engine. The only problem I have really found is that almost no one advertises that they will rebuild. Everyone, at least around here, now just wants to be a parts changer ie. Full crate swap. Any advise will be greatly appreciated!
I would lean towards rebuilding your well kept lc9. It is getting hard to find people willing to rebuild a motor though. We are a dying breed. With that motor you at least know what your starting with. Machine shops are backed up and the turn around time is a huge issue for shops. If I had to buy a crate motor for it I would pay a little extra for a gm crate motor. Thanks and let us know what you end up doing.
@@UglyTruckExperience thank you. That does help to push me in a certain direction. I’m probably going to go the 6.0 L96 route and delete the VVT. I can buy that motor complete for $5200 and make a straight swap I believe. Obviously update the tune, but I think you are right on getting a rebuild done just based on not being able to find anyone so far. Thanks again. I’ll keep you posted.
Thanks for sharing this teardown. There's a sort of satisfying feeling when you find something broken. A force that can't be stopped.(Juggernaut) Humm. I guess 🤔 I did once get a free snap on sticker. Enjoyed the video and the game of fetch. Stay well friends.
ordered a vvt timing chain 'kit' from summit yesterday in a hurry (melling) and realized this morning no bolt included. what did you do for the timing chain replacement
Hello Bill. Why do they call it a kit when it is missing a piece? If your just asking about the bolt, I have reused that bolt many times with no issues. But would replace it if you have the ability to get one. On the engine in this video I reused the cam gear and the bolt. Replaced the chain and, guides and the lower gear. All of it's original cam related parts were in great shape and we were sticking to a budget. Jerry
thank you for the response. summit responded via a phone call from my wife that they were puzzled as well but happily would order one direct from melling for $70.00 and extra shipping she went with it. i'm currently not very happy with summit we've already sent $700 their way trying to get my daughters vehicle going@@UglyTruckExperience i read so much indecision in regards to reuse of that bolt, wish i'd got your response sooner i trust strongly in your judgement
Hello Michael. Are you saying you have a 2009 with the same problem? On this engine we ended up rebuilding it completely in order to fix it. All new bearings, polished crank and new oil pump. If it is a DOD, you would want to eliminate that also. Jerry
Where is part 2 ? So I have a question… I have a 2010 gmc sierra 5.3 it has 300k on it but has been maintained since I bought it new, my oil pressure drops to 5 psi up top and 30 psi on the bottom, had oil sensor/filter/oil pump/relief valve in oil pan/pickup tube o ring/ all replaced and still low oil pressure took it to the dealer they said it’s the main bearings and cam bearings after replacing the pressure valve in the oil pan, it seems like I’m just getting guesses at my expense What should I do ?
Hi Kurtis! Here is a link to part 2 of this DOD delete/rebuild. ruclips.net/video/_mhwmupzlSk/видео.html Most likely the cam bearings are shot in your motor. At 300 thousand miles I personally would have just pulled it out and rebuilt it. Sounds like you have taken good care of it so maybe just new rings, bearings and cam. Thanks for watching and let us know what happens on this one. Thanks
We pulled the oil pan and one main cap off while the engine was still in the truck, so we didn't show it in the video. But the o-ring on the pickup tube wasn't too bad. Definitely not as bad as our 4.8 we just tore down! But yes, that silly little o-ring can cause a serious loss of oil pressure! It's like trying to drink through a straw with a hole in it. Thanks for watching! 👋

Is there anyone in central / Southern California that can help me with my Yukon lifter issue. First it was oil pressure sensor gauge . Now lifter with misfire on 7 now Stabiltrak coming on now too I love this car and it ran so strong .. new wheels and tires… last oil change and I’m looking at in my driveway everyday now. Dealer says 10k for a new motor.
We hope there is somebody out west that could point you in a good direction. I would think there has to be a number of shops out there dealing with this that could save you some headache and money. Thanks. Jerry and Emily
It will still have variable valve timing, but it won't be able to shut down cylinders like the DOD. We'll have to have the PCM programmed so we don't have any check engine lights.
I don’t think it was the cam bearing. All the bearings looked fine. Why would you lose 20 psi from having a couple thousandths more clearance, especially with a high volume oil pump? The fine glitter in the pan plus low pressure leads me to believe a failed oil pump.
The amount of wear in the cam bearings didn't come across very well visually in the video. We dissected the oil pump and didn't really find any wear in it so it very well could have been a pressure release problem. But I really couldn't find another explanation for the aluminum in the pan. Either way I am always trying to convince people to change those bearings when they are that close. Thanks for watching and commenting. Jerry
Usually it’s the oring at the oil pick up tube. I caught mine when the oil pressure when cold was starting to be low. Definitely saved my engine. This one was most likely just the oring as well.
I think it was a combination of the cam bearings, and the oil pickup o-ring. We took the oil pan off and pulled one main cap while the engine was still in the truck, so we didn't show the pickup tube in this video. The o-ring was a little flat, but not as bad as some that we've seen. The cam bearings were the worst of it, and the pickup tube didn't help. Thanks for watching!
This engine had aluminum particles in the bottom of the oil pan. I do take the oil pump apart to inspect them but very rarely are they visibly worn. They are the first part in motor to get oiled and unless the motor is run without oil, they just don't wear out. Thanks for watching
@@UglyTruckExperience just yesterday my truck started to drop oil pressure. Starts at 40 and gradually drops to about 10psi when driving. I changed oil and did not notice any metal or discoloration (flakes) in the oil. After it drops oil pressure it starts to make valve train noise which only happen when this first happen yesterday then I had it towed home. I’m suspecting oil pump? What do u think from this explanation?
What is make and model of truck and how many miles? Unfortunately when what your describing happens, I would suspect that you have some worn bearings. You won't really be able to see material in the oil without taking the oil pan down. The heavy metal particles, even though they are tiny, fall to the bottom and just lingers around in the bottom of pan. The engine in this video did basically the same thing. Let us know what it turns out to be. Thanks Jerry
@@UglyTruckExperience well yesterday I replaced the oil pump and to my surprise the timing chain guides were broken which was weird because the truck made no noise slapped everything back together and she has oil pressure again doc
hey man, so i just did the dod/afm delete on my 2008 5.3 silverado replaced cam,lifters, head gaskets(i bought the kit), but i just got the computer tuned so i can run just 8 cyl, but the truck is having rlly low oil pressure on the cluster, do you know what can it posible be?, pd: didint change the oil pump
Hello Javier. I am assuming that it had good oil pressure before the DOD delete. What method did your kit use to block off the oil passages that led to the lifters?
@@UglyTruckExperienceyes it was working perfectly fine, and i used a kit from amazon, the only thing i didint change was the oil pump and the valve seal's, thanks for the responde, do you know what can it be?
@@UglyTruckExperienceI used a non afm valley plate that blocks afm towers, the oil pressure doesn't go to all the way to 0, but u can hear the tick of the lifters
Is there anyway that we could find out the name of the ACTUAL ONE PERSON that is responsible for this engineering CRIME? How many THOUSANDS OF truck OWNERS have been driven into bankruptsy and divorce because of this stupid idea?
My thoughts exactly. We talk all time about how there must be a guy in the engineering office at GM that was stamped with this giant failure. Has to park way out in the back lot and eat lunch in his car. It really has cost more money than it ever saved in fuel. Great comment. Thanks. Jerry and Emily
To gm’s credit they at least decided to give the 6.0l vortec in the 3/4 ton and heavier trucks a pass and not use dod on them, fucking chrysler on the other hand decided that their MDS garbage (same tech as DOD by Chrysler) also needed to be on the ram’s 6.4l hemi 3/4 to and heavier trucks for some reason despite it not being required by the government at all 🤨😒

@@UglyTruckExperience so far tiny glittery and good oil pressure but a lot of it and it has developed a lot of lifter noise during warmup

Can't go wrong with a 6.0! Best of luck and thanks for watching!
Bad thing 6.0 and 4.8 don't have this system
