In today's video we take a look at a 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with a 5.3l V8 engine. The customer complaint is that the engine is making a really loud tapping and popping noise. This truck does come equipped with General Motors AFM or Active Fuel Managment system, which is notorious for having problems and lifters with a high failure rate. There is even a class action lawsuit against GM for this design. After tearing down the engine we find that we have a locked up AFM roller lifter and the camshaft has been severely damaged. The decision was made to install an AFM DOD delete kit to insure that this problem never happens again. Follow along as I take all the steps necessary to install this kit and get this truck back up and running!

I worked for The Torrington Company making the roller bearings for the lifters for General Motors. We lost the contract in 2009 due to cheaper competition prices. From 1981 to 2009 we never had a bearing failure due to our manufacturing. We made between 40 to 50 million bearings per year. I guess that's what you get when you cheap out on parts!

This gave me flashbacks to when I was a kid. My dad had similar issues with his 73 Buick Lesabre. One lifter tapping away. He tore apart the engine in front of the house and replaced the cam shaft and lifters. This was in the late 80's. I learned so much about cars from him growing up, house repairs too. This was a great video man!! thank you for this.

Great video on how to delete a crappy design! I really appreciate the way you explain this process. GM should learn something from this problem, it's costing it's customers a lot of money and trouble. Sucks when you can trust your engine to get you back home. My 08 Tahoe just experienced engine failure for no apparent reason, glad I was close to home. "Like a rock" not any more, sounds like a rock bouncing around in my engine. I've kept the oil changed every 3000 miles with Mobil 1 and have never mistreated this engine. My 97 sierra is still running great with 330.000 miles. I'm very disappointed in GM over this design, I bought a V8 and I want 8 cylinders popping all the time:)

@rbilardo47 Год назад

Once a mechanic back in the day starting in the late 60's when working on vehicles was far more easier than today, brought back a lot of good memories. You go the extra mile and really clean the parts before installing, which I see a lot of videos where they don't put the pride in their work, like you do. Your videos are well made and your explanations are clear and to the point. God bless you and your business. Keep the videos coming. Thank you.

Great video! This reinforces the reason why I won't buy a GM truck past the 2006 model year. I know you can disable the AFM, but the customer shouldn't have to go through this drama. GM, once again, trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist. Most people who buy a truck aren't interested in gas mileage. This reminds me of to the 8-6-4 Cadillac engine in the early '80's. General Motors could screw up a one car funeral.

It's cylinder #1 flooded by oil. Fouling out plug. Causing shaking. Reason is cylinder delete programing. Have program rewrote so all 8 cylinders fire at once.

Great job. I’m an old school back yard garage weekend repair guy. At 73 years young, I found your video really informative. Back in the day our 56 Chevys, the 289, 327 and latter the early 350s were the motors of choice for street racing and the occasional track race. We would replace the cams with high lift cams, and upgraded intake manifolds, solid lifters then if we could afford it 850 Holly spread bore carbs, always updated the points to electronic when they came available. When dual point ignition coils came along they really helped. We would then search the junk yards for posi track rear gears. Then after a few nights of hard work take the old Chevys out and blow wthem up. Had lots of fun learning how to work on vehicles and motorcycles. The engines of today and the electronics, the upgrades amaze me at today’s technology. I wish I could do it all over again, only with today’s technology. Anyhow, working on cars and motorcycles got me interested in another field. I took up plumbing, heating and a/c that allowed me to dabble as a weekend motor warrior. Again loved your videos.

@cheeseo9798 Год назад

The only reason that every auto manufacturer are using amf/dod on the v8s and v6s is to meet the emissions standards. The manufacturers fix for this is a ecu reflash and not a delete because of emissions standards. All of the active cylinder managements are giant piles of trash.

I do use more fuel with driving in tow mode all the time, but my truck is not constantly shifting up and down as I drive and I have power when I stomp on it. There is no hesitation (or searching for the right gear) like there is when not in this mode.

Now days mechanic shops just want to swap engines they dont work the way you do. They just dont bother and say you need another emgine new or use with low miles. They dont want to open the engine and fix whats bad. Props to you. You da man

@simonilett998 Год назад

Nice one, Eric. You've got bigger balls than me to go ahead with this after you found the carnage.🤣 But overall it turned out great. Well done on yet another successful repair job🤘👍👌👏

@bigjeep2195 Год назад

You are a GREAT mechanic and a GREAT video producer/filmer. Very impressed with both. Thanks for the video.

Where did all the shaved off metal from the frozen lifter bearing go? Is the engine a ticking time bomb now, even if you do the AFM delete? Metal shavings are probably everywhere, grinding it all down inside.

WOW I never knew there was so much to these engines, you make it look so easy!!!

I'm no where near a mechanic but this is what's happening to my sons 2015 Silverado. I've had to ship it from Salt Lake to So Cal so my local can ck it out, the guy in SLC wanted 8k just to replace the lifters. That price was insane so I started doing some research. Your video is outstanding an so thorough, THANK YOU!!! I definitely feel well informed. The local guy says to keep our fingers crossed it's just the lifters if so it'll be 1k-2k to fix.

Fantastic video Eric!!! Appreciate the thorough tutorial.

Awesome. Your skill set is superb. You make it look easy. I would absolutely trust you to work on my vehicle if it needs anything. Good job.

Great job by the owner of this channel. He is thorough and professional. This man uses tech and his brain power to fix things. He does not use the parts cannon method. Love his work, thanks for showing us how to do things on cars. Great job. 😁🧔🤓💯🥇

@carlospastran3527 Год назад

Anybody can do this type of work but only a few actually take pride in their work and follow procedures like you. Great job! 👍

You own my full respect for the amount of work that have been put to remove all the parts and put them back as was originally or better. I hope the truck owner is rich to pay you at your experience level.

looking at his work this guy is a very good honest mechanic

Man if I ever need a mechanic you’re the man I wish you were in my neighborhood.

@bartscave Год назад

Fast, professional job! There must be a close line between doing that much engine work Vs putting in a crate GM engine.

@fivepointeightnate Год назад

Pretty sure the stock crate engines are long gone. They were $9,999 back when they had them.

In my world of DIY car repair, I've learned to pull off the front wheels to lower the engine bay. Try it next time you work on a truck. I always enjoy your content, especially the Vette that was rode hard. 👌

I just saw Wes from Watch Wes Work use an aluminum folding bench platform. It looked like 4 ft. long and about 12 inches high not sure. It looked very useful and had no tire removal.

@ronberry5316 Год назад

I just pull the valve cores. Lowers most trucks enough for me.

@johnchristopherson2718 Год назад

Great tip, sometimes I also lift up the rear of a pickup, this help access the back part of the engine.

@rogeliohidalgo397 Год назад

It was such an honor and pleasure to watch this amazing video. I'm truly in awe. I want him to move to NY so he can work on my car. lol

@SMOBY44 Год назад

Fantastic video. Great presentation, no droning on about stuff that doesn't matter. To the point and shows the work.👍

@ellkir1521 Год назад

I just shake me head when I see people going down the road with that metallic tap tap tap. It's like dude; stop emmediatly and fix it the moment you hear it. Don't let the engine beat itself to death and tripling your cost of repair.

@nelsontucker4366 Год назад

I just completed a cam and lifter job on my Vortec 8.1 Suburban. It was much easier than the LS engine in your video as the heads did not have to be removed. FYI , I used COMP CAMS as I put a slightly modified came back in resulting in more power for towing 😁

@Rouhalla 10 месяцев назад

that's just next level of care and paying attention to details .. better than dealership for sure .

@donaldmarkwith5729 Год назад

This is a impressive upgrade and fix to the Chevrolet Silverado.

@robm3063 Год назад

I hope you changed the oil pickup tube O ring while you were in there. One of the biggest problems with low oil pressure at start up. Also use a Napa Gold oil filter or a Wix (same filters) as the have the best anti drain back valve.
