Hopefully it turns out good. Keep us updated. I'm curious what's wrong with it. Thank you for the content brother.

@MohawkMotors I have a suburban 2001, any advice to give it more torque

@MohawkMotors

Lot's of ways, just depends on how much you want to spend to do it and what you plan on doing with it. If it's your daily driver around town you could put a taller gear (like 4.10) in the differentials, but if you do a lot of highway driving that wouldn't be a great plan. You could swap the engine for another that has more torque, like if you have a 5.3 now you could upgrade to a 6.0, but again, you'll lose some fuel economy. You could do some of the basic bolt on modifications, cold air intake, better flowing exhaust, a tune, and those will help a bit as well.

Out of time? Slipped timing chain?

We were both thinking the same thing. I've never had an engine skip time with a chain timing set, but I have heard of it happening.

What was the issue???

No GM V8 only

grounds are extremely important and often missed and/or forgotten. if half the injectors were not working correctly due to lack of ground it probably screwed up the air /fuel ratio and caused the massive backfire you heard, which blew up the engine

The grounds are extremely important, 90% of the times I've had trucks with running issues a ground is the problem. In hind sight, I should have done a continuity test on all the grounds while I had the harnesses apart, they all looked good and the rings were crimped well to the copper conductors, but without a continuity test there's no way of knowing if the conductor was broken inside the insulation. Visually all the ground wires looked good and were in good condition, but you never know unless you actually test them.

That motor sounded a little crunchy, ide ask the rail yard for a refund lol

Yeah, definitely more noises in there than there should be, the outside of the block was REALLY crunchy.

I don’t like what you did that’s shady business, I just went through the same thing, the issue could’ve been installer error how do you know.

You don't have to liek what I did. I conduct business the way I feel is fair for myself and the customer. I know what I'm doing and my customers know that if they provide parts I offer no warranty or guarantee on what they provide, especially a used engine that neither of us know the history of. For the record, after taking it back, he found the cam position sensor to be faulty and causing the PCM to lose cam/crank sync. The knocking I heard was spark knock because the pcm was getting conflicting data from the cam and crank position sensors.

I can hear the disappointment in your voice. All that hard work and not not have it run good suck’s. Better luck next time.

Thanks buddy. Very disappointing. Hopefully Matt can figure out what went wrong in the engine and get it going. Time for me to get back to work on some of my own projects.

If he paid you 6k, you should help him

@MohawkMotors

Жыл бұрын

He didn't pay me 6k. Even if he had with the amount of hours i have into it I'd still only have made maybe $75 an hour and that's wayyyy below what I pay myself for custom work like this and wayyyyyyyy below what I value my time at. This was a job that I really lost on which happens. But we both agreed I had put in more than enough time and made more than enough progress for what Matt paid.
