Man, That sucks. Try disconnecting the battery?

 

Welcome from MN.

 

New front hubs last weekend, P1860, P0740, and P0785 this weekend.
So after reading a bunch of threads, I'm still confused. and to top it off the drivers window stopped working also.

 

I finally got my decal on

 

Anybody know how to reset this to actual mileage?

 

To day I started on the intake manifold gasket.

 

And done. intake manifold gasket, plugs, and wires. That was less then pleasant.

 

Ed,
First I want to say that is a sweet looking cluster. Where'd you get it? Did you ever fix the odo? I was thinking that maybe you should call the manufacturer of the cluster and them why it changed?

Also, wanted to ask if you followed the torque down procedures for your LIM? It's very important. I used to think that it was important to prevent warpage of the the LIM. While I assume it could cause that also, I also read in a GM Technical Service Bulletin that the reason for the procedure is for your main bearings.

"IF INLET MANIFOLD ATTACHING BOLT TORQUE AND TIGHTENING SEQUENCE ARE NOT STRICTLY ADHERED TO, PER THE SERVICE MANUAL, CRANKSHAFT MAIN BEARING BORE ALIGNMENT CAN BE DISTORTED WITH CRANKSHAFT MAIN BEARING FAILURE BEING THE END RESULT."

Apparently the bore distorts enough that it can close up some of the clearance between bearing and crank/rod journals not to allow the thin film of oil than the surfaces should be "floating" on.

Just wanted to let you know. That could have been what happened to an engine I am replacing because of bearings.

 

^ Good bit of info, rockp2. I had a shop do mine in Dec... It was a little bit of an ordeal doing that job, glad I didn't attempt it, although I did pay handsomely for said job.. ugh.

Mileage correction - You're gonna want to find someone with a Tech2 tool if you want that corrected.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that only the shop should install the LIM, we just have to insure we follow the correct sequence and torque settings.
