This is the sixth part of a multi part series where we will be fully deleting the Active Fuel Management (AFM) / Displacement on Demand (DOD) system from my 2014 Silverado with the 5.3L L83 motor. This process is the same for most Silverados, Sierras, Tahoes, Yukons, and Suburbans made after 2006.
In this video we are showing how to install the L83 5.3L motor back into my silverado and this process should be very similar to the L86 6.2L. This process will directly apply to the 2014 - 2018 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra models. We will also be showing how to correctly install the harmonic balancer back onto the motor as well as all of the engine accessories.
In part seven of this series we will be showing how to reinstall the motor back in the truck and installing the remaining components on the motor such as the harmonic balancer, intake, and accessories.
This video also includes all of the 5.3L L83 torque specs necessary to reinstall your motor. The 6.2L L86 torque specs should be similar (if not the same).

Great video. I really appreciate how in depth you have been throughout all the videos. I recently purchased a GMC Sierra with a 5.3 and I plan to do similar mods to what you have done

Thank you so much for this video. I just bought a 2015 Silverado 5.3 6 months ago and it’s developed a lifter knock. It’s cheaper for me to put a new motor in than it is to repair it. This video has given me the confidence to do it myself

The yt algorithm must have heard me cussing. I just finished up one of these jobs . 15' L83 . Its good you stress the prep involved before assembly. Thats where the secret lies in it not coming back. The boltup is the easy part when everything is ready. Great video! I only disagreed with a couple of words used for the B+ connections at starter and alternator where 'grounding points' was used. Looks like a ground eyelet but is actually the b+ connections. Thats all.

The oil pump can be removed but it will be a challenge on the 4wd vehicles because the oil pan needs to be dropped slightly. I am not sure of the fuel filter location.

Dyno’ d at 347 hp and 353 ftlbs to the wheels. Transmission just started acting up and think it’s the converter. Did you end up using zl1 converter? How do you like?

Awesome! glad the series helped you out! I did! If you watched are most recent videos you'll see that I haven't gotten to drive the truck yet lol so I'm not sure. Just finished getting the new motor in so I will be driving it a lot this weekend to test out the build. Fingers crossed!

@TheSundaeDrive 4 года назад

@TheSundaeDrive 4 года назад

You have to remove literally everything to replace the frame unless the new frame came with a bumper attached already?

@dwaynehelmick964 2 года назад

Cliff, I had a question about the head bolt torque specs. You stated the 115 ft-lb for the head bolts. Chilton has 59 Ft-lb 1st pass then + 90 degrees 2nd pass then +60 degrees 3rd pass. Does all the just equal or the same as 115 ft-lbs? Thanks for any insight. BTW GREAT series of videos on this. I'm about to start reassembling my 2015 Silverado 5.3.

@jus1975 4 года назад

I followed your process while doing my truck. But im stuck. the starter cable and ground that next to it. For some reason I cant tell which goes where. One is the negative for the battery. I would assume that one would bolt to the block. But its too short. I cant find a wiring diagram online anywhere. do you guys remember which is which.

@TheSundaeDrive 3 года назад

the ground coming from the rear goes to the block and the ground coming from the front goes to the starter. sorry for the delay in responding but maybe this will help someone else out

What happened to the rest of the videos

@seanfrank4158 4 года назад

Did you mention in your previous vids why you are doing the DOD delete? I have a 2016 GMC Sierra and I got the AFM disabled in the computer. I'm hopeful that I don't need to go through the time and expense of doing the full DOD delete....

@TheSundaeDrive 4 года назад

I wasn't having any issues yet but I wanted to prevent a failure from occuring in the future (plus make the videos). I looked into the tuners but they don't prevent the failure from occuring even if installed from day one. The problem seems to be far too common for me to let it go and risk the motor. And now I will have a little more power added 😁

@seanfrank4158 4 года назад

@@TheSundaeDrive If the lifers never get collapsed by eliminating V4 mode then that should prevent it from happening I would think. Has there been cases of failure in these engines when the AFM was tuned out early on that you know of?

@TheSundaeDrive 4 года назад

I asked in one of the fb groups before doing the project and 2 guys responded that they had range type devices installed within the first few hundred miles and still had failure of a lifter before 100k miles.

@bryanrackley2058 2 года назад

Awesome tutorials bro! I am putting my 2011 back together now after a DOD delete kit. The new valley cover has no harness connector because the DOD solenoids are now gone that were under the factory valley cover. Did you just cable tie it out of the way? It will be unused now if I am correct?

@TheSundaeDrive 2 года назад

So mine was a little different but most likely you are correct but I'm not as familiar with the older gen. Probably check with the dealer of the kit. They will need to be coded out of course.

@joshwillard2044 4 года назад

Could you do this delete with the engine in the frame iv looked everywhere and it says you have to drop the oil pan and if I loosen it the gasket will leak

@TheSundaeDrive 4 года назад

It has been done in the truck for sure but you do have to drop the oil pan. Unfortunately it does not have a reusable rubber gasket so resealing it is a pain if it is in the truck. I do know that guys do it tho.

@michaelkarell4559 4 года назад

I did it and it was actually pretty easy, only thing is you need to have a shop recapture the refridgerant from your AC system as you need to remove the ac coil, also note that you dont have to drop your oil pan.

@TheSundaeDrive 4 года назад

If you don't drop your oil pan, you have to be very careful not to pinch the o ring between the oil pump and oil pick up line

Hey Cliff, Is it ok to use the Diablo tuner to just turn the AFM off via the ECM?

@TheSundaeDrive 4 года назад

@suspect794 3 года назад

I don't have to remove the torque converter bolts if I'm not upgrading the torque converter, right?

@TheSundaeDrive 3 года назад

If you are removing the motor from the vehicle you have to undo the torque converter bolts so that the enge can separate. Otherwise it is connected to the torque converter which is pushed into the transmission pretty far. Now if you are leaving the motor attached to the transmission, you don't need to undo the bolts.
