I am currently contemplating to rebuild or replace the engine in my 2013 Suburban. I can not believe I found metal glitter in my oil at 140,000. Who do recommend getting a motor from?

I'm looking into to rebuilding my 2010 tahoes engine. I've had it since 2014 I bought it with right at 90,000 miles on it. As of today 6 November 2022 I have 226,000 miles on it still running great. I havnt had any major issues just regular maintenance. Imma go for 300,000+ miles then tear it down. Luckily I havnt had any issues with my transmission either. I did have my transfer case go bad. Bought a used one put it and everything is going good

Sincerely appreciate you doing this video and mentioning the engine price. i found a 2008 Yukon xl with 242k miles, but it was tight and well maintained. The engine stopped one day at a traffic light and the shop that got it wanted to charge me $10,000 for a used motor swap. I opted for a new timing chain and oil pump (made sure they did the o ring) and that cost me 3200. I got it towed home and after charging the battery, it still didn't engage the flywheel when I tried to start it. I'm getting killed on this $6000 purchase, but I think I'm going to find a different mechanic to see what he says the problem is. $1300 for a motor. sheesh. I was thinking two grand, but still 10k. Glad I didn't let him change that one. I may just work on it myself. Worst case I'd need heads.

@AutoMotivate2 жыл бұрын
That’s awesome man. The issue with this engine was also a lifter. If I knew that then I would have just removed the heads and replaced the lifter and cam. Would have been much cheaper and less labor intensive. The LS engine is one of the easier engines to take apart. I have a video of me tearing into the engine if you want to check it out. Either way, I wish you luck man

Tight squeeze to get the bolts, they are very shallow and you have to constantly turn the crank to get to the next bolt. Being so shallow, it’s easy to slip the socket and ruin the bolt; so be careful

@AutoMotivate3 жыл бұрын
Thank you! It was a bit hard. Having a friend to help with the process, I think you can get it done in 1 full day with zero hiccups, proper tools, and with this video guiding you. However, in my case, not including working on the other engine, I think it took probably 20-25 hours. The total amount of footage I had was around 15 hours. The putting back to get her took a while, but it was much quicker, especially since I didn’t record. Torquing down the converter with the flex plate took a while and proved to be the most difficult in my case.
