  1. If I remember I think it was back and forward, just eye ball it so it looks like it catches the center of the latch on the door
  2. I had this problem a while back, passenger side. I too though it was in the Pillar. I tried adjusting the door striker and tick no more.
  3. Thanks Shawn, for the fossil lesson. The GM engineers (Ha Ha) should have known this would become a problem and I think somewhere I read that, maybe it was Toyota or Nissan, actually added another fuel spray behind the valve to aide in cleaning. An Audi owner was complaining about an $800 valve cleaning service every 15,000 miles or so. So, why haven't we heard of a valve cleaning service recommendation needed at XXXX miles? Does GM not think this will be a problem? I might just be a little worried about the $50K truck in my driveway. Right now I have just under 7K miles but I plan on adding a Airraid tube so I will take a peek inside then. Thanks again.
  4. Hey Guys, Just a thought on the carbon buildup conversation. First question is what causes carbon buildup? I have searched and never did find that oil causes carbon buildup but is the unused fuel during combustion. If that is the case on our DI engines how can carbon buildup on the back on the valves? Not saying it does not. I do agree that oil in the air intake is not good and will be adding a CC. I'm no engine expert so if this is not the case please advise. If anyone has pictures of carbon buildup on our engines please share.
