    Recently rebuilt the top end on the motor, I figured to change the axles while I’m at it only to find out the front driver axle seal and bearings are shot.. what is the best and easiest way to fix this (keep in mind I’ll be crawling underneath due to not having access to a hoist) so was finally...

    5.3 vortec envoy random misfire/ rough idle

    So I figured while I build this ly6 6.0 motor I can take a look at the 5.3 still sitting in the truck, allot of gunk on top of pistons and combustion chambers from. None of the push rods are bent and all lifters look fine (rollers are in good shape no cracks, not sure if there is a ) I tested...

    5.3 vortec envoy random misfire/ rough idle

    5.3 vortec envoy random misfire/ rough idle

    the truck does not overheat at all, don’t loose coolant. I drove it for about 10 miles I’d think Its enough to burn all condensation. Is there a way to get all that stuff cleaned up ? I have noticed that a couple push rods are super dry compared to the others the video is too large to upload on...

    I just got done doing a pressure test on all cylinders highest reading was 150 psi lowest was 133psi which is still sitting the 15% of the highest reading.
