I picked up a 2016 quad cab Silverado 5.3 with 98,000 for $7500 in excellent condition the Engine was supposedly blown , all it was, was 2 bad lifters. I did the AFM delete bought new lifters and a Brian Tooley stage 1 cam. Took me about 6 hours. I used this video as a guide. Im not a Truck or Chevy Guy this was a Suprise for my wife. I did 2 oil changes in a 50 mile period also to be safe. Thanks again !!!!

How long did it take you to do everything? I have a 2015 sierra with a plug in delete and have been skeptical about doing the full delete because I don’t want to have my truck sitting in the garage for days partly disassembled.

@Mark-nc3nw 3 ай бұрын

It took me right at 40hrs. I didn’t use a power ratchet in the disassembly(bought one to reassemble) and I think it took me 3hrs to get the timing chain off(probably was a little too cautious). Shop estimate time was 30hrs so I think I was pretty much on par with that. I’m no expert by any means but to do it right I think it’s a 30hr job all day.

@bobbromm2269 2 ай бұрын

Awesome video. Great camera, lighting and audio. I really thought I would have to pull my engine but you clarified that isn't necessary. Can you comment on leaving the original oil pump installed? I have read it should be replaced with lower pressure version to eliminate excessive oil being sprayed on cylinder walls when not utilized by the AFM system. You mentioned leaving the old pump in place and just curious if that is ok? Thanks again!

@dannyjohnsonsgarage 2 ай бұрын

The oil pump is a bit tricky. Removing it would require pulling the engine (or at least lifting the engine enough to drop the oil pan. Then on installation it has to be perfectly centered or you can lose oil pressure. There are also oil lines in the pan with seals that have to line up just right. My understanding is the pump is a variable flow pump to allow more or less for the DOD and if you leave the stock one it continues to regulate to the normal oil pressure, just not needing to fluctuate since it’s more constant flow without the DOD. Mine has maintained the same oil pressure as before the procedure. I would definitely contact Brian Tooley racing about the pump as well as they have been super helpful.

@pat14lang 5 ай бұрын

Looking at doing a full AFM/DOD delete on my truck. Checking to see what Extra gaskets etc would be needed: exhaust manifold gaskets, intake manifold gaskets, HP fuel lines, HPFP gasket, head gaskets, water pump gaskets, valve cover gaskets, injector seals (if injectors are removed), crank pulley bolt, vacuum pump gasket (if removed), VLOM cover/gasket, timing cover gasket/rtv, cam-phaser bolt, cam plate/cover, and HPFP cam follower. Crankshaft holder tool. Oil pump alignment tools (if pump is removed). Does this sound about right?

My friend who is a GM fanatic and did the tune is who helped pick the cam out. I’m not sure what else he did on the tune other than set the redline higher for dod to not come on and mentioned giving me some things the Camaro gets but suv/trucks did not for fuel economy.

It was the cam BTR had for sale, and I was looking for a stock replacement as not to change anything on the valve springs etc. I wanted it to be as close to factory as possible so that’s what they had.

Apparently they are TTY (torque to yield) and stretch the threads for a compression fit. Being it's a high pressure system for direct injection it recommends new lines.

This is scary for me...6 mo. ago just bought a 2017 Yukon 5.3, afm/dod system with 107,000 miles. I was being told recently by others that i should be using the range afm disabler. Kinda worries me I'm going to have some hugh expenses coming my way. It appeared to be well kept by one owner and it runs good 😮🤔.

Change the oil 3-4,000 miles instead of what it suggests. You can try turning it off for now. It’s just not a very reliable valvetrain

@dannyjohnsonsgarage 2 ай бұрын

There is a lot to consider. I would worry about the milage on the timing chain tensioner as it’s plastic and might break. You’ll need to drop the oil pan/lift the engine out for that part. You may be better off with a new engine for time effort and cost, but it will also come with the dod lifters so it’s a lot to consider. If you’re pulling the engine you might want a new one to replace it with

How did you determine you needed to take it apart? . My 2015 Yukon is driving me crazy. I had park it outside and it was covered for a year. So when I started it up it ran bad and it had a misfire code. So I thought it was bad gas so I ran a couple of tanks of gas through it and I still had a number 2 misfire code. So I guess it was the injectors after running a pressure canister to clean the injectors. I removed the manifold and the foam cover was filled with rat poop and the injectors were almost impossible to remove because they pee on it. I clean it up vacuum and made sure that the passages was clean to install the new injectors and fuel rails because I destroyed the passenger side one. Harness looked good. Got them in it ran good for 15 minutes and then the code came back up. I swapped coils around and still the #2 misfire code came up. It only has 68,000 miles on it, doesn’t make any ticking noises. I didn’t replace the intake gaskets so maybe it is leaking but I sprayed carb cleaner but no change in idle but as you know it is a bit tight to really do that. I don’t think I want to take it apart like you did. I helped my daughter’s boyfriend that had a 2016 Chevy Silverado last year with the same issues and I discovered after replacing every sensor and spark plugs coil packs that he had a broken valve spring and Thank God it finally fixed it so I checked that also on mine but it’s good. I’m in Southern California and don’t trust the dealerships. I have a basic scan tool and I don’t really understand how to read it. So I’m a bit unsure what to do next
