AFM/DOD Delete - 2018 Yukon Denali - bapple on 3/18/24 at 10:19 pm Bought a used 2018 Yukon Denali with 96k on the clock in fantastic condition but I know the ticking time bomb that is the AFM/DOD lifters so decided to delete the system. But I'll give background to those not familiar...

re: Houston Mechanic Reccommendation? - 2017 Chevy 5.3 ticking - bapple on 3/13/24 at 10:17 pm I actually just got my 2018 Yukon Denali back from getting a full AFM/DOD delete last week. I plan to do a larger writeup about it but if it's a simple tick, it could be one of your standard lifters. However, if the tick becomes a tap and you get a cylinder misfire warning light, you have a collapse... Posted on Outdoor Board Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (0) |
re: HVAC/Changing Thermostat…help? UPDATE: SUCCESS! - bapple on 3/8/24 at 2:09 pm [quote]You need to hook the blue wire to the C terminal on the control board of the air handler, likely in the attic.[/quote]
This. Most thermostat wires will have a spare conductor that is unused in the cable. So land one of the spare wires (likely blue) on the C terminal of the control board in... Posted on Home & Garden Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (2) |
re: What will the effect be of non-permitted concealed carry? - bapple on 2/29/24 at 6:08 pm You won’t notice much change at all most likely. But a recent study in Ohio specifically showed almost a 10% reduction in violent crime across a few big cities since they passed it. It doesn’t prove that the constitutional carry law caused it (correlation - causation) but it does disprove that passi... Posted on Outdoor Board Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (0) |
re: Attic Fan experience - bapple on 2/29/24 at 7:58 am You have to be careful not to have too strong of a fan or it can create negative pressure in the living space and pull conditioned air into the attic.

re: Warren Buffett sees a bright future for fossil fuels - bapple on 2/28/24 at 2:22 pm There has never been a full blown “energy transition.” For a country to have a booming industrial sector, there must be adequate thermal baseload generation, meaning 24/7/365. Wind and solar are intermittent and weather dependent and there’s a reason you don’t see Oxy throwing up a wind or solar far... Posted on O-T Lounge Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (0) |

re: Maytag dryer won’t turn on after power was turned off for generator install - bapple on 2/14/24 at 5:11 pm Agreed with a previous poster - test the outlet first to assure you actually have power there. That should tell you pretty quickly if the issue is your outlet or the drier itself. ... Posted on Home & Garden Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (1) |
re: Power went out yesterday and now tankless water heater doesn’t have power to remote contrl - bapple on 2/13/24 at 8:46 pm [quote]Both of mine are plugged into GFCI receptacles. I would check to see if that is tripped first. Mine have done it several times with power outages.

And if this is the case, remember that GFCI receptacles get more and more sensitive to tripping the more they trip. This happened wit... Posted on Home & Garden Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (0) |
re: Headlight replacement bulbs - bapple on 2/10/24 at 9:50 pm I just swapped out my brother’s OEM halogen projector bulbs on his Tahoe to HID. This is a much better option in a projector than an LED drop-in since the light is 360 degrees instead of random LED chips pointed all around. Don’t get me wrong, factory LED headlights are good but you’re trying to uti... Posted on Home & Garden Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (0) |
re: AFM/DOD Delete - 2014-2019 GM SUVs (*UPDATE - OB post*) - bapple on 2/2/24 at 8:59 pm ******UPDATE*******
I purchased a 2018 Yukon Denali with 96k miles on it. In great shape and has 420HP with a 10 speed auto transmission - it is FAST!
I went back and forth on whether to do a stock cam profile or a stage 1 cam. I figure if I'm swapping the cam I might as well try and get a pow... Posted on Home & Garden Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (0) |

re: Is it worth it getting headlights from RockAuto? - bapple on 1/26/24 at 9:51 pm Even aftermarket, if it's a standard regular halogen reflector headlight, you can buy it from anywhere and results will be pretty much the same.

Agreed. I’m hoping sticking with a more basic backbone for the engine will extend longevity. Outside of the AFM/DOD system the motor is pretty simple although I know the LT motors went to direct injection from the LS motors. I’ll proba...

re: AFM/DOD Delete - 2014-2019 GM SUVs (*UPDATE - OB post*) - bapple on 1/23/24 at 8:49 pm [quote]Total delete is the best way to go but, very costly if you are farming out the work. The cylinder heads and front of engine have to come off. I would have that function tuned out and change oil regularly. [/quote]

I’m assuming the OP is talking about the low voltage fuse that is operating the thermostat. If it were the protective device for the compressor, it would likely be a breaker unless the house is very very old.

My 2010 Yukon Denali is still on the factory 6L80 and it will only slip a bit when it’s ice cold and hasn’t warmed up yet. I had it tuned when my L94 dropped a DOD lifter at 99k miles and I had... Posted on Home & Garden Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (1) |
AFM/DOD Delete - 2014-2019 GM SUVs (*UPDATE - OB post*) - bapple on 1/21/24 at 8:26 pm Has anyone here installed a full AFM/DOD delete, not just the electronic disabling of the system? I'll be calling around some local places tomorrow to see if they have any they advise and what brand of kit they'd suggest.

re: Can I relocate my circuit breaker panel from inside to outside wall? - bapple on 1/21/24 at 8:13 pm [quote]You dont want to out the breaker box outside. [/quote]
I tend to agree with this. Anytime an electrical piece of gear goes into a non-conditioned space, you are reducing its lifespan considerably and introducing more risk of corrosion and rust issues. People do it if needed but I like bein... Posted on Home & Garden Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (0) |
