- Here is a full video showing how to diagnose engine noise on Chevy and GMC gas trucks. Most common is valve lifter failure. That's what we found on this truck. Shows complete procedure with torque specifications.

Did this myself in my garage like a month ago to my personal vehicle but I did the new cam and non dod lifters with the tune. Runs like a dream now 🙏🏼
WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR KIT FROM
@@danfoley6920 Scoggin-Dickey Parts Center. they have everything you need and everything is oem parts. Don’t forget to order a separate thread cleaner for the head bolt holes because your new threads have new thread lock.
Was it hard ?? How did you torque down everything with a digital torque wrench or them other ones ?
@@esau5.3 it’s definitely an intensive job for someone like me that doesn’t work in a shop. But just have a good amount of knowledge and MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED TOOLS AND ALL THE RIGHT PARTS BEFORE YOU START. And aslong as your motor never overheated in the past I doubt you’ll need to get the heads resurfaced.. I didn’t need to it’s still running strong ever since. I used click style torque wrenches I rented them from auto zone and then I got one of the compases for the bolts that need to be turned a certain amount of degrees for the heads. Make sure you clean all mating surfaces very well and use common sense. Move at a good pace that’s not too stressful. Have a couple drinks play music and definitely get a second pair of hands if you have the chance. That makes everything in the world easier when taking the heavy heads off and holding the exhaust manifolds in place to be bolted down when you’re getting ready to finish
@@danfoley6920 scoggin Dickey auto parts bro make sure you get everything you need. They have front cover gasket sets and make sure your kit comes with a brand new balancer bolt. Also make sure you get a thread chaser for the heads. The old ones leave thread locker in the block and you don’t wanna mess with that when you can get the chaser for like 40 bucks
Good analysis to solve the misfire and great to fix it ! Take care with the good cleaning the cylinder head also all the reassembled ! Thank you for sharing your job! 🇧🇷
Great video 👍🏻
Great job my respect . Thanks for sharing Bro.🎉
Hopefully you see this but I’m coming to see any videos make sure everything is good right but I went ahead and changed my head gaskets and resurfaced my heads. When it came down to torquing my head bolts I put a washer in the top bolts only and torqued it down to 59ft lbs then the 90’ but didn’t do the 60’ right after I didn’t know about that one. Opinion?
Exelente. What tool you have for measure angle,?. Description please. Thank you. Saludos desde Veracruz Mex. 👍
Congratulations men; good job!
Thank's by share yours video.
Bug hug from CDMX, México. 😮
How can you tell if the cam has been damaged. I also pulled a bent rod.
nice video, Thanks
It’s a lot of work. Had number 7 intake lifter fail. It was 1200 in parts and materials to fix it. I have built these motors, but much harder to do in the truck. I definitely wouldn’t recommend sand paper on the block or head. Scrape with razor blade then scrub with brake cleaner and a microfiber cloth.
Buen peo cambiar taquetes,y si la leva está mal 😮, tremendo trabajo de mano de obra 😮
I used to be a service writer at a small car lot and we had several GM lifter/DOD failures 😂
Heads up for anyone doing this to the drivers side. One headbolt is a 13mm allen socket, confused me for a second due to not having an angle on the bolts outside cylinder 2.
Thanks for your effort✌️
Nice work
Where are u located
Be aware that the 5.3s often will have destroyed cam lobes from inadequate hardening and/or defective lifter rollers.
Yes they will damage the cam lobes if the customer keeps driving it for awhile and doest get it fixed asap.
Thank you for your video. I recently bought a new GMC Sierra truck two weeks ago, and it made a noise that led to a repair for a lifter issue. It has only driven 1400 km since, but I'm concerned it might break down again soon. What do you think?
Don’t worry too much. I have 185000 miles on my 2016 Sierra with the 5.3 and I have never had a problem. Number one thing with these engines is keeping up on your oil changes. I do every 5000 miles religiously since new and I never had a problem. Only thing I had replaced under warranty was a passenger side front wheel bearing and the A/C condenser. Otherwise it’s been a solid truck.
2 things: How was the camshaft? Bolts stretch. Does GM require that you replace all the head bolts to prevent breakage when reusing the same head bolts?
Always replace head bolts.
I've reused the OEM plenty of times with no issues, but reuse only once. ARP bolts don't get replaced.
Did this on my 2016 Chevy Silverado on the driver side and now the engine will not start(Have Mechanical Background). Do I need to replace the VLOM?
any update?
Install pushrods in wrong position ?
My 2015 gmc yukon denali xl is having the same issue and the dealer its my valve lifter and probably camshaft that need to be replaced and quoted me a price of 15k.....i wish could bring my truck to you
Dealer is always expensive. A good mechanic can do that for way less depending the country its in.
I have a similar issue with my 2015 Suburban. And they asked for 12k too for me. That’s a rip off. If you can help me get this baby running new. How much would you charge me?
i just did it to mine, cyl 7 damaged lifter, i just payed 200 buks to remove head did everything else myself spent like 300 on parts 🤗
I have a 2008 Silverado with 350k did pretty good with it. 5.3 with exactly the same issues. Why doesnt GM take care of this. Costs around 8gs to fix it. Changed my oil every 3gd or less moble 1. Im sure that helped the engine big time. But a very very poor design to say the lest just to save a few miles on gas. No need for it.
INSANE Government EPA mandates drove it, CAFE standards for light duty trucks average MPGs had been relatively unchanged since 1984 at around 20mpg. Then starting in around 2006 Demoxrats pished EPA to annually start jacking it up about 1 mpg per year. For TRUCKS... Manufacturers had NO choice or they would been fined thousands $ per vehicle produced or forced TO STOP building full size trucks all together. Thx DC swamp rats. Thus we have AFM setups and now a days these small turbo engines in trucks. It will get alot worse the next 10yrs. Get ready...
Where are you located and how much do you charge for this? 2016 Silverado 5.3.
In Manitoba. Depending you want to both sides and all lifters or just one.
Message me direct on Instagram.
Easy to gauge aluminum heads with a metal blade if not careful. Use gasket cleaner and a plastic blade(they sell plastic razor blades) if you have not done this before and are comfortable using a razor nlade
I have a 2016 chevy suburban In the process of changing out the fuel injectors, I dropped the tip of an injector into the injector port.Any ideas of how to get it out without taking off the head
You might have to pull the head. My heart goes out to you. Everything on these trucks is difficult. Where you able to get it out? 🙏🙏
@@DieselDog358 had to pull the head it was sittung rite on the piston and i checked the valves while it was off its runnung great now
@@roylevy9919 Wonderful to hear! A sense of satisfaction when you do it yourself! 👍
And a fatter wallet to boot
Does this apply to the 5.3L ecotec engine too ?
Yes im sure it does
Great video, thank you
What’s process if I just need to do the push rods?
Pull the valve cover. Remove the rockers. Remove and replace push rods. Reinstall rocker arms to 22ft lbs. Reinstall valve cover, and reconnect plug wires and coil pack connectors.
Chances are you have bigger issues if you bent a rod. Replacing rods only with no other upgrades, is useless.
I got a truck that needs about the same work.. where are you located bro? I'd like to hire you..
You in winnipeg brother?
Great job. It will be best if you changed the bolts
How much would this run to be done ?
Around 4gs is my guess
Not cheap
What sand paper did you use to clean the head
You shouldn't be using any. Unless you're getting the heads jot tanked and surface checked/decked afterwards.
What was the cost for the job?
2500 or up, depending what all parts you are changing.
On average, what's a job like this typically run?
All depends which shop or dealership you take it. Anywhere fron 2 to 3000$
Change oil pressure valve body assembly,..
1. NEVER use sandpaper to clean ur head. Use a scraper a rag and brakleen.
2. Idc if you wasn't having issues before. Always have the head checked at a machine shop.
3. Did i just watch that man reuse the old head bolts 😬.
They are TTY bolts and not advisable to be reused, but if not stretched, they are fine to reuse. I've done it with no issues to date, always inspect the bolts and threads before reusing.
One should use plastic razor blades to scrape aluminium heade and the block surfaces.
That is correct. But I've done it this way and works very good everything and no problems.
Experience is key here. You remove gasket residue, not head material, but it's easy to screw up if not experienced.
how often do you have to replace this
when it break and have misfire lol
Use a die grinder, grind a line perpendicular to the threads on old head bolts make a chase for free. No sandpaper please.
Put all new lifters guides and lasted 300 miles came is out.
Yes I said the same thing that lifter dun scarred that cam
Not replacing cam, you're just wasting your time.
A pro
Head
Have repaired and rebuilt ALOT of engines over 35yrs. These GM engines are SO easy to work on, seriously. And they pretty forgiving in shade-tree workshops 😎👍.... UNLIKE these newer DI turbo charged 4- banger all aluminum engines I've rebuilt last 5 yrs.. totally temperamental piles of 💩
Plastic razor blades are made for this job
In the old days that would have meant that the camshaft was worn out but in today's crap. It's a technology failure. Just as big of a job as replacing the cam but the parts fit in a smaller box !!!
GMC Suck The Same Shit Happen To My Truck 3 Times Than I Got Rid Of It Never Agin Will I Buy A New Truck So Much Money Down The Drain They Are Made So Cheap And Don't Last I Rather Buy An Old School 60s Or 70s Truck Now Those Are Real Trucks That Last For A Life Time...
Good idea! Poor design!
Stupid design how come you need to pull out the cyl. Head just to replace valve lifter.
@reynaldochua772 Good Question! I thought we had cylinder blocks perfected in the 50's
The technology is a menace to society there is no need for the bullshit to be such a pain in the ass it's made to cost a you a ton of money all fkn short lived expensive junk
