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 !!!!
if he went to the dealership for this, we would have never gotten this video. praise this man, its giving me confidence to do it myself.
This video is thorough and complete. I wish all DIY videos were as amazing as this one was. GREAT WORK!!
I want to thank you for taking the time to show this step by step. I just finished doing mine tonight and could not have done it without your videos. You made it easy and explained everything perfectly. Thank you so much!
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.
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.
Hows your truck holding up with the afm delete? Hopefully no issues so far?
@leytonhankins1665 why would it sit for days in the garage partly disassembled?
Holding up fine so far. Runs better than it has in a long time.
this is a very good video. as a technician myself i would like to note that nobody is this careful while taking your car apart. everyone is out there using nothing but impact guns ripping your car apart because they dont pay us to be careful they only pay us based on how much stuff we get done.
Wow we would never get to see this video if GM could actually build a motor that doesn't destroy it self! Great video and narration.
I don't have to do this yet. But this is one of the best take-apart videos on KZhead.
Bro thanks I just made $1500 from Part 1&2 thanks a lot
This is the best video I have seen for this. Great commentary, sound, and camera angles.
This video is incredibly underrated & under viewed… This was my first video I’ve watched on this channel, and I was incredibly impressed. Thanks for the content, great job.
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Just watched your video step by step man never taken a motor apart before and I gotta say your a life saver , from the little things that aren’t reusable to just how to get everything off right , you are awesome , now just waiting for my lifter and cam kit to get here and watch part 2 to get it back in
Excellent teardown video and narrative!
i really really appreciate the effort you put into making this video. I'm learning ayelooot rn
Excellent narration and explains the job in detail. I have completed my very first 5.7 hemi cam and lifters replacement job. I did lots of research and i did make a mistake of swapping the heads. I didn't know the heads were dedicated. Anyway. Excellent...
Thank you for your honesty and commitment to detail and excellence. Great video.
Great videos! You’re always very explicative: from your Terminator Cobra vids to this one on a Yukon.
The best AFM/DOD delete I’ve seen
And very expensive lol
@@madwestboy it's the only correct way to do it.
SWEET Video dude. real Thorough about the work. AND its alot of work !
This is so complete, KZhead should be required to destroy all other versions.
There are a lot of unnecessary steps doesn't hurt to do those steps just not really necessary
Another reason to keep my 04 silverado with a 5.3 200k miles and runs great Im replacing valve cover gaskets now
Happened to us, truck sitting in back yard for 2yrs! Getting parts now!
I feel your pain.
Thank you...definitely needed this
Thank for your video. I was getting ready to buy two LS. For one suburban and 62 Impala. I will definitely delete the AFM lifter issue. Thanks
Excellent video. Thank you so much for sharing this information.
Always great videos!
Great video I’m going to start this project soon.
It's such a shame what GM has done to their once badass V8s. The damage to this engine is insane. GM knows this is an issue and how do they fix it? They DONT. they keep making the same old junk V8s. So sad.
I agree. I so wanted a new GM truck. If only you could order one with no DOD - dead on demand engine.
Their design is genius, this is what happens when you run cheap gas and your detonation is delayed because of low octane fuel when switching from v4/v8.. always use premium from the jump. Premium detergent if available, preferably.
Thank the hippies, not GM
That’s what happens when you hire a liberal woman to be CEO.
Same here , I wanted a new semi many years ago , finally got into the position to do that and they ruined the diesel with epa regs. , so I decided to downgrade to a new pick up in 07 , I wore that one out almost , now I need a new one , but they dont build them worth buying nowadays . I'm bummed ..guess I'll look at horses to drive ..😢😂
Excellent instruction. Thank you
I have the repair manual but it is unclear how to make all those changes so Thank you for your videos. I can share the digital file is super large but I am sure you have it too.
Awesome and detailed video!
Excellent job 👏 👍 👌
Dep driveway degreaser and concrete cleaner works very well for cleaning gasket and carbon from heads amazingly. Very slightly corrosive on the alumium just enough to do a deap clean of any oxydized aluminum residue.
Excellent Danny. Ty
Great job
New subscriber 🔥🔥🔥
Your videos are great! Really wish you had one for replacing fuel injectors. Wife’s 2016 Denali has a bad one I think. I don’t know where to start but think I could do it with your step by step videos. Keep it up!
They are very difficult on this model because they are in so tight. It is hard to remove the fuel rail, they have o rings to deal with, and they will have a lot of debris fall into the cylinders, so that’s why I left them alone. If you watch the “Sundae drive” channel he has some more info on them
I just did this job my self, let me know and I can guide you
watch. watch wes work.. 1 yr ago.. you need all new everything. like 1,300$.. is the car worth it. took him 3 goes to get it right. parts cannon.. anything you take off, cant re use..
@@harrywalker968 it's a 2016 Denali, what do you mean is it worth it?
60,000 Views and only 60 comments ? Excellent ! Excellent Video ! Ego - Less !
Great video
I had no idea this job was that involved. I'm currently using the range technology device to keep my Yukon in V8 mode until I'm brave enough to attempt this......
I wouldn’t until you have to. If you have v4 turned off it would most likely see a misfire from the dod lifters rather than a bent pushrod, so just let it ride until you have trouble (my thought)
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage ok I'll wait then. I just figured preventive maintenance for this would be better than when it actually goes disabling the vehicle and having to get a tow. I'm currently @ 115k on my 2015.
My son had a tuned as he called it for v8 only. I told him the same thing. You still have the DOD lifters. They will fail.
@@flatliners2011 I have 142K on my 2015, no sign of trouble. Truck has been perfect since day one. minus the safety recall BS.
Excellent DIY video. Kind of makes you brave enough to give it a go. Curious, what was the deciding factor for you to decide to do this? Was it just the DoD delete, or the noise, or were there any codes thrown?....never mind, I see below you have answered my queries already.
This guy is amazing…..KUFFFF!
Thanks for your videos man I'm new to the newer motors with dod on them an I had to buy a 2014 gmc it's all good but I'd like to get into it before it's not good anymore tho lol
It’s a big job, so I’d just keep an eye on it and as soon as you have problems jump on it. Be familiar with it.
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage I'm going to do it soon it's got 155k on the truck was naver run hard at all like I run one just shocked me how different thay are to before the dod stuff iv looked up alot on it tho definitely like your more detailed videos you should try an get money off KZhead for your videos alot of people do
Good man ❤
I kinda feel like it also. I replaced the spark plugs and it ran much better. Now it’s showing multiple misfire code without any responsible cylinder. It idles better but not like it used to.I’ll have to keep on fishing. I saw a code tool on Summit racing that deletes the AFM but not sure if it’s too late for me and worth it. I’m not going to keep the Yukon much longer because we don’t drive it anymore
Awesome
Fantastic job explaining everything and showing it clearly. How did you know for sure it was required?
Mine was actually having noise from a bad lifter (see link below), and I wanted to delete the four-cylinder mode before it failed and bent a push rod kzhead.info/sun/ltxtj5F-fop5iX0/bejne.htmlsi=GCExGDUvqmIUlqmv
Thank you for the kind words as well.
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage do you recommend just do the lifters or whole dod
@@jasondecluebass1012 I would say full DOD since it’s not much more work and the dod lifters are prone to failure
doesnt matter if p/rods ect are in order or not.. unless wear or damaged.. why TDC. the lifters are not solid.??... is this vid for 15 yr olds that know nothing about modern engines, like, clips. torque, too much info..knowing the faults with chev engines,,why buy one..@@dannyjohnsonsgarage
All makes that have done a variation of cylinder deactivation has had problems I wonder why? Why keep pushing it?
Very nice 👍 sir
insanity that this is required at 96K miles
Clearly the best video on removing the chain from the vvt gear. Question: was anything used to flush metal from the engine?
In video 2 you’ll see where we check the passages, and dumped oil over some of the engine (you could even dump oil down through the valley). We also removed the filter screen in video 2 and luckily did not find any metal pieces. kzhead.info/sun/oaZvlrOao3Z4gYk/bejne.htmlsi=ikjqwAJ55R_GfVuF
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage nice ty
good job body congratulations
Where’s the class action lawsuit?? GM needs to be FORCED to fix this issue!!!!
they won a court case....... so they dont have to do shit
@@johndonovan7018they didn’t win anything. They convinced plaintiffs to go into arbitration. So they are settling with some individuals outside of court, which kills the class action suit.
GM had a few of those dismissed on the argument design flaws are not manufacturing flaws. i think that was in alabama. as i said multiple of these so outcomes will vary but they are yet to actually lose@@hackershack23
Yup, just cost me 6k yesterday.
6k is a lot, smells like dealer. 4-5k gets you nice parts upgrade with AFM delete. stock job is 3-4k. thats with labor and all. 1500-2000 in parts if you do labor yourself, possibly cheaper. i havent looked at prices in 10 months or so@@lespauljunky74
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!
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.
Great video I just don’t understand all the different colored marker lines everywhere ? Even when you have timing marks from factory that shows correct timing references. Thanks
Yes, that’s just me being over cautious with some reference points since I cannot see the crank timing mark with the oil pump installed. In the end, the arrow points down and if the crank has not moved (and is locked with the tool as you see in the video) you should be in good shape
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?
Yes. I have a lot of the list in the video description, as well as one I show in this video kzhead.info/sun/hb6Aopuwi2itf3k/bejne.htmlsi=zSrT7ES0dRjptKsK
i was scrolling some other video’s and came across your second part and watched it as well. Appreciate the info and how-to steps!
If all gm vehicles from 2015 to 2020 has the AFM problem why don’t GM makes a recall to fix this issue if it’s been going on for years I just spend almost $10k fixing my 2016 Escalade esv cylinder 4 because of this issue had the dealer change lifters,camshaft cylinder valves gasket,come on @GM do something about it
Where you located my friend
I have a 2014 GMC SIERRA WITH THE SAME MOTOR 4 LIFTERS WENT OUT I AM GOING TO BE PUTTING A 6.0 LS MOTOR AND GET RID OF THIS HEADACHE
Our high pressure fuel pump lifter's hole was pointing toward the driver side...? Any idea why that might be? 2019 Escalade 6.2L.
The 2019 also has the different cam phaser bolt that you’ll see later in the video (or video 2), so perhaps there was a change
that's why i like ls more its simple engine plus 4l80
22:30 nice info
in ls after the installation of the pump i turn the crank few times then tighten it ... isn't the same with lt ?
We did not remove the oil pump on this one because it’s much more complicated and won’t clear the oil pan
Why is gm not making this right?
I hope you have the time to answer me i have a 2018 denali xl 6.2 v8 with the 10l80 i bought the Range v4 disabler will it work i am just nervous about putting on i dont wanna mess anything up please let me no what you think
Keeping it in V8 mode should help from the issues you would have that happen during the switch from V4 to V8, so it may help. In my case it was simply a regular lifter that failed
I just bought a 6.2 for my obs, i pulled it from a 2020 Denali, whats your up to date opinion over this dod delete kit?
I would say let it ride until it has a problem. You can repair it as shown in this video with the engine in the car, or you can pull the engine for better access around the pump. There are a lot of variables with oil pressure, the oil pump, fittings, o rings, etc that make it best to repair if it has a problem, not preventative. Just my opinion
All from the perspective of sitting in the driver seat, we have one ground connected to the back left of the engine block, one connected to that left side head on the back, and one on the back right side of the engine block. Should the one on the back right side of the engine block be connected to the head on the right side? Since the block already has a ground? Trying to see why we have a check engine light, P0333, knock sensor 2 circuit high bank 2, and P2138 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/ Switch "D"/"E" Voltage Correlation. Hoping we have a simple ground issue. Can’t find any plugs that didn’t get plugged in.
Yeah, start with grounds. The junction boxes under hood are also known to leak kzhead.info/sun/abyxe6VorqGVhIk/bejne.htmlsi=lUC5g8KRFQqqt28m
just curious, windex on connectors and not like silicone spray?
Yeah, anything to break up the dirt and debris, just not a lot of anything
Is the oil pressure sensor on the valley cover I’m new to the ls stuff
You’ll see it in video 2
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
@dannyjohnsonsgargage I just now had the oil changed at 4000 and had a transmission flush when I bought it 6 mo.ago. Plan on having plugs/wires replaced soon. Is there any certain one of the range afm disabler that I should buy for it. Appreciate your answer....thanks.
After watching you do it , i think im gonna throw away my Ls motor and go old school 350 , i thought i was ready to venture into the new way , until i seen this ..i dont think i can change , i like my oil pump where it was , with two bolts on the pick up tube, never did like that distrubutor , that drives the oil pump through the gear on the end of the cam ...that oil pump on that motor... , i dont want anything to do with that , i suppose there's a special tool to center it ( expensive tool , one-time use tool ? ) can i modify a front engine/timing cover (drill holes in a spare one ) to align that oil pump ?
You can take the cover off the oil pump and center it with feeler gauges, but it’s all a mess. I heard installing a new pump is fine, but you can’t reach the harness without removing the oil pan
This is not an LS...its an LT....Direct injection....
Why use the shorter Chromoly Pushrods on a stock valvetrain components?
BTR told me to do so because they are LS7 lifters. According to them, they require 7.80” over factory 7.85”
I see that you have the Cam Shaft from an L8T 6.6L GEN V LT. Any part reason for that over a Texas Speed OEM Cam?
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.
Outstanding job and detail sir…
Which kit did you get? I had just replace one of the lifters on mines, a month later it went out on me again smh.
I did the kit from BTR, 7.80” pushrods for the ls7 lifters is what they told me. GM lifters (info in the video description) but I don’t know if there were even better aftermarket lifters
I replace mines with oem lifters, don’t know how but the spring took a shit on me after a month, looking for a delete kit now and just get it out the way.
Maybe you had mentioned this, how many miles before you began to notice the lifters squeaking? Did you turn off DOD ever? If yes, when did you turn this off compared to when lifters failure began to take place?
This was a normal lifter failure, not a DOD one. I had not turned dod off. It had 94,000 miles at the time of the lifter failure.
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage Just curious what type/brand of oil you were using? I have read that oil contamination or fouling due to oil quality or not changing regularly can contribute to this problem.
@@bobbromm2269 I do believe it is a huge factor where GM has extended the time between oil changes. I was even running full synthetic and changing at 30% oil life left. It was a regular lifter that failed on mine. I believe the fact the system uses oil pressure in the small holes of the dod lifters that contamination can be a cause for their failure GM DOD/AFM Lifters operation explained, failures, how to delete. Why GM engines fail 5.3L 6.2L kzhead.info/sun/mqmcqK1qpamtq30/bejne.html
Nice video. Tried watching another on here but the added music ruined it. Not watchable
great job. what is the average cost to have this done?
Here is a breakdown How much does it cost to replace a camshaft and lifters? GM trucks 6.2L 5.3L Yukon,Tahoe. Silverado kzhead.info/sun/hb6Aopuwi2itf3k/bejne.html
Are you a mechanic by trade? You made this look easy
I’ve just practiced over the years and making tutorials helps me research and present it as accurately as possible. Just hoping to help others in my same situation
What position should I leave the hole for the lifters?
I have always heard it doesn’t matter for the regular lifters. You’ll see how the dod lifters come out and they have arrows. It may be in video 2
The hemi cylinder deactivation damage is just as bad. Ford only began deactivation on the coyote in 2021. So should be a couple more years still before we are watching videos on how to repair them
I have a 2016 chevy suburban with these problems. It has 200k miles is it better to change this system out or get a new motor? Any suggestions will help please thank you!
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
@dannyjohnsonsgarage Ok thanks! Im really stuck on what to do. So If I get a new motor the problem will come again with the new motor and if I get the one I have fixed will cost me more?
I'm using scotch brite to get that gasket material off
I know others have, and even use them on a die grinder, but just make sure not to create any low spots or gouges
I thought with this delete kit the high volume oil pump needed to be replaced!
It’s not included in the kit. To replace the oil pump you would need to lower the oil pan or pull the engine
How much damage has been done to all the bearings ?
The cam bearings didn’t show any damage on the cam. You’ll see the lifters caught some debris and the lifter filter was empty
Have a 2020 Diesel AT4 fuel pump issue, metal shavings all throughout system. $13k quote. No warranty, has over 110k miles
It’s really too bad the quality is so bad
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
Here is what I did to verify kzhead.info/sun/ltxtj5F-fop5iX0/bejne.htmlsi=7f8aiP-WKH9832fa
It’s possible you have a collapsed dod lifter. It would be apparent if the rocker floats around without any tension. kzhead.info/sun/mqmcqK1qpamtq30/bejne.htmlsi=mpqJjOcwwp-ZSZo1
You know what I can't understand is why are trucks and suvs forced to comply with strict emissions that ruin their longevity and reliability? They're in their own special class of passenger vehicle that shouldn't be constrained like the cars. They're not made to have good mpg and they're never going to be as clean as a car. If I wanted 4 cylinder mpg than I wouldn't have got a truck or suv 🙄
Does the 2019 5.3 have this same engine?
Yes. Identical but 5.3L instead of 6.2L but it’s all pretty much the same
How can I get into contact with you I have a few questions about my 2002 ford mustang it’s about my clutch
Comment on the clutch replacement video is the best way to contact kzhead.info/sun/iKqrYLatqZF7ips/bejne.htmlsi=OiTTnbOe8by7Hygs
I have a 2010 Silverado with the 5.3. I am looking forward to a full DOD/AFM delete. Anybody has any feedback after the afm delete?
I have only lost about 1 mpg. The process is a a little different on the parts for your year, but the overall process is the same.
much easier than lt and cheaper ...... you can remove the oil sensor plug to stop it from going to dod mode run my car few years with that trick till i sold it
@@kingkotkot2341 this is bad advice and you should stop spreading it
I have the 2011 LMG deleted, runs fine, gets decent gas mileage. Used a stock cam and lifters, kept VVT. Is your truck modded in any way?
Is it called a flywheel or is it a flex plate?
Flexplate for the automatic would be the correct term
ah yes those Jiffy tite fittings suck. they do make a tool for those.
Would you be interested doing this for someone to pay you?i think i got same tick on my 2016
I don’t think I could for time restraints right now
Ill do it for you, where are you located? Im a mobile mechanic.
@@MrC9Oh3 las Vegas
I'm not a mechanic. Should I do this? To my 2012 tahoe?
It will be a similar process but not exactly the same on the 2012. It’s entirely up to you if you feel comfortable performing this or not. There is always risk involved.
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage thanks for the input. This looks like a really big job. I want to delete the DOD but I'm going to keep thinking about how I should go about it. I live in Latin America. I'm not sure if the mechanics in this country can do this.
@@andybatista412you can do the job. Just remember you will need all of the parts available and on hand for the job. It's a big investment
I have tried this on a 19+ silverado/sierra L84/L87 and it doesnt work. You cant walk the chain off the cam gear.
That’s very interesting. It’s pretty tight, but maybe the cam sprocket is larger or something?
How much would you charge for this on a L92
I have a video explaining the costs involved, but some have said the L92 may require the engine removed. I don’t do this for others, just on my own vehicle How much does it cost to replace a camshaft and lifters? GM trucks 6.2L 5.3L Yukon,Tahoe. Silverado kzhead.info/sun/hb6Aopuwi2itf3k/bejne.html
GM knew that this setup would fail. They had tried this decades ago, and it didn't work.
I’m disappointed with GM. I grew up with reliable suburbans and this Yukon has had too many problems for being new and more expensive
How many miles were on this engine?
94,000
Don't forget to replace that oil pressure sensor why you have everything apart
It’s in video 2
danny please buy an electric ratchet. i promise you wont regret it.
I have some electric impacts, but sometimes I’m very cautious with aluminum. I often use it off camera to speed up the process. They are nice!
LS went from being the best V8 available to possibly the worst tied with the Dodge Hemi. The EPA killed diesels, and now with CAFE there killing everything else.
its not an LS
Correct..This is an LT, direct injection....There were some issues with this on LS engines also but not to the magnitude of these LT's@@MWilk098
How much wouldd this cost at a garage?
Here are the costs for both a garage and parts kzhead.info/sun/hb6Aopuwi2itf3k/bejne.htmlsi=4NwT2uk7IHTnoFBP
