Well, I was waiting on parts to come in and now think I finally have it solved! Oil pressure was good so I broke down and ordered another dorman cam phaser sprocket and the timing chain holder tools. Opened everything up AGAIN and pulled the old (new really) dorman phaser and decided to test it...

Well new CPAS came from Amazon. Had the fancy holographic sticker on the box and looked identical to the one I took out. The numbers stamped on it were different, but again did not match to the part number. Disconnected battery for at least30 mins for the install. During test drive the code...

It was purchased from the same seller as it was out of our ‘buy again’ section in Amazon. Only markings are the stamped numbers, which are different from the image in the ad. They dont correspond to the part number in either case as far as I can tell.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K8DRWHM/?tag=gmtnation-20 It was this guy, sold/shipped from Amazon.

The phaser I put in was a Dorman. The CPAS was Ac Delco via amazon. Gonna get another new one and give that a go. Will dive in to some of the further diagnostics too.

Ok got the crank relearn done at a local shop for $20. Oil and filter have been changed and I even pulled the CPAS and cleaned it (still looked brand new 🤷🏻‍♂️). Code P0014 still persists. Is there a chance the new GM CPAS is just a bad part? The shop guy thought it could be the cam actuator...

Well I got it figured out. Had a PM conversation with MaroonMonsterLS1 and he thought it was most likely the input sprag installed backwards. Being my first attempt at a transmission rebuild I watched the videos from Transmission Bench as I did it. Thought I had the input sprag correct, but...

Ok, I will do some checking around the wiring and see if I can find anything. And will definitely unhook the onstar module.

I think the U1000 is related to the B2470 onstar deal. I thought the U1000 usually coincided with another code for whatever module was having issues? I would think if it were trans related it would pop a trans code right?

I do not have a Tech 2 or similar scanner, however I do have a EFI Live Autocal and when hooked up with my laptop I have some capability for idle/CASE relearn. I will give that a go. As for the trans, I was the rebuilder (my first). I did order the proper coded torque converter for it. Had to...

Been busy, but got some work done. That head was freshly reman’d and I think the pic lighting was doing some weird things, plus there was assembly lube and some fresh oil on a lot of it. I checked all of the other springs and retainers and everything looked good. I did replace the one rocker and...

Great info, thank you MRRSM! I did not get alot done for several weeks with the holidays and everything. Finally got around to getting some install work done. Got the sleeves installed and trimmed. Cleaned up the block again and moved on thru the new bearings, rings and piston install...

Thank you for all the detailed info in your replies and apologies for taking so long in being back on here! I am fairly certain I have found the cause of my difficulties. After breaking a couple bearings on the tool and attempting the canned air cooling with no success. I started racking my...

Ok, noted. Do you think I definitely have to remove/replace the partially installed sleeves? How ‘hard’ should it be to turn the press bolt when instaling the new sleeve? I have a 1/2” ratchet that extends to 15ish’” and am having to pull pretty hard! Having trouble bracing against the...

I recently picked up an 02 TB for my daughter to drive when she turns 16 early next year. Had 193k and needed a little work but ran and drove and was only $1500. Body and interior are in great shape and thought we got a great deal. Got it home, changed the oil, air filter and spark plugs and...
