Can you post some pictures of the front suspension as it sits now with the lift? 3.5 is a good size lift, so maybe you have some parts that have exceeded their limits, and are not working as they were designed. Yes, parts will wear quicker if not aligned properly.

That is a great question, and I do not know the answer for sure, this is all I can really find so far: All LS engines locate the gerotor style oil pump on the crankshaft flange just ahead of the cam gear drive. Like the small-block, the oiling system follows a similar route, directing oil from the pump down a gallery on the driver side of the block, and then up to main corridors that pass through the hydraulic lifters first, and then down to the main bearings. Oil travels through the lifters, up the pushrods and then spills out onto the rockers and springs before returning to the pan. This illustration of the oiling circuit reveals the long distance the oil must travel on the suction side of the front-mounted pump. Like its small-block antecedent, it also feeds the hydraulic roller lifters first, before finding its way to the main bearings. Many aftermarket blocks reverse this order by prioritizing the main bearings first and then the lifters and valvetrain.

"Advanced Oiling System The oiling system incorporates a new variable displacement two-stage vane-type oil pump that enables more efficient oil delivery, based on the engine’s operating conditions. Its dual-pressure control enables operation at a very efficient oil pressure at lower rpm, and then delivers higher pressure at higher engine speeds. An oil control solenoid valve, controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM), mounted to the oil pump provides two-stage functionality. The oil pump is mounted on the front of the engine block and driven directly by the crankshaft sprocket. The pump rotor and vanes rotate and draw oil from the oil pan sump through a pick-up screen and pipe. The oil is pressurized as it passes through the pump and is sent through the engine block lower oil gallery. Pressurized oil is directed through the engine block lower oil gallery to the full-flow oil filter and then to the upper main oil galleries and the valve lifter oil manifold assembly.

The customer may comment that the oil pressure gauge jumps from approximately 40 lb. to 60 lb. three times within the first few minutes of driving as well when the engine revs past 3700 RPM.

Cause The 4.3L (LV3), 5.3L (L83), 6.2L (L86) engines are equipped with a two-stage oil pump. The oil pressure gauge jumping three times is caused by a test routine the engine goes through during the first few minutes of driving to ensure that both stages are operable. The oil pressure gauge going to 60 lb. over 3700 RPM, is the calibrated engine speed the oil pump goes into the high-pressure stage. No repairs should be attempted, this is normal operation for these engines. Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.

That is way more of the "skeleton" (interior skin removed) of a Tahoe than I want to ever have to see in mine. Props on the "brass balls' to tear it apart and fix it yourself!

Great looking truck!!! I am very biased when it comes to this model though, so much I made a club for us very wise owners here on the site.

Great looking truck! Chrome is always a great accent to black, it is a timeless combination, truck looks very classy!!!

Fabric softener sheets stuffed under the seats. Old used car trick, works well. Just get one that you like the smell of, and let your wife/girlfriend know so she does not think it is perfume in your truck? How was the roast?

Plus 1 for the Naughty by Nature, maybe even bigger and on top of the Z71?

Going to say no, if you browse through the media function, it gives you one option at a time. To connect and control a device: 1. Connect one end of the standard USB cable to the device's dock connector. 2. Connect the other end to a USB port in the center console. See Center Console Storage 0 120. 3. Press MEDIA to select the source.

2 body styles ago, but same inner workings as the K2. If it is sticking, I would think your torque rod has come loose, or is binding on something inside the gate. When the bushing (on the passengers side) breaks, the gate just flops down without resistance.

Are you the original owner? Do you know if all of the TSB's were done? There have been quite a few along with recalls.

It pasted with letters rather than symbols, lock then remote start. Sorry, did not catch that. I know with any other GM product I have owned (this is my 4th with factory remote start), when you have the occasional times remote start does not work, there was always a problem coming. At this point, maybe you have a battery that is failing? They do not last very long with the amount of draw from the truck, and really do not give any warning signs when they die. Is it lagging a little when cranking since winter is here?

Had a similar situation a couple of winters ago, I heard a chime because I went to far on the dial and tried to go into 4LO by mistake, truck let me know and would not do it. Wheels were spinning faster than 5 MPH.

Sorry, light stays on after you start the rig with the key (fob). There is always a lag with the remote start (last button pushed, to time vehicle starts), pushing the buttons in sequence on the fob, no matter how fast should not make a difference on how it starts. From the manual: Starting the Engine Using Remote Start 1. Press and release Q. 2. Immediately press and hold / until the turn signal lamps flash or for at least four seconds. When the vehicle starts, the parking lamps will turn on. The doors will be locked and the climate control system may come on.

There was an issue with the 14's and I believe the 15's doing that. If you left the truck in 4WD while it was cold outside, the trucks would be stuck in that mode when you started it up again. I think there was a re flash for the transfer cases that fixed the problem.

If you have a CEL (light on constant) that is present, the remote start will not work at all, it is a safety feature.

Found this, maybe they can help you with the color codes.

Were there instructions in the box with the hooks (if they are factory)? Welcome to the site, Merry Christmas!!!

Sh@tters full!!!! Guess that would be a great way to describe 2020... Hope everyone has a Very Merry Christmas!!!!

No problem, I am full of useless information that I will share when opportunity arises?.

Looks like a 65: 1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass 4-4-2 Comments: Oldsmobile finally got the 4-4-2 package right for 1965. They eliminated four door models and made it optional on all two door F-85s and Cutlass models. The previous engine was replaced with a new 400 cid engine, generating 345bhp and 440lb-ft. The name now signified the 400 cid engine, 4 barrel carb, and dual exhausts. The package included heavy duty issue shock absorbers and springs, battery, clutch, front and rear stabilizer bars, fat tires, and 4-4-2 badges. Marketing was much more youthful and organized, and sales improved to 25,003. Critics pronounced the 4-4-2 as one of the best handling of the intermediate muscle cars and an all around balanced performer. Production: Holiday 2D Hardtop: 21,535 Convertible: 3,468 Engines: 400 V8 345 bhp @ 4800 rpm, 440 lb-ft @ 3200 rpm. Performance: 400/345: 0-60 in 5.5 sec, 1/4 mile in 15.0 sec @ 98 mph.

Cool car! Are you asking what the 442 moniker means? When the Oldsmobile 442 was introduced in 1964, it stood for a four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission, and dual exhaust.

Then if you decide to do it yourself:
