    Facet Filter Reminder

    I recently got my new engine back in truck and took it for a test run yesterday. Everything seemed to be working well aside from engine surging at idle sometimes. I started investigating what could be wrong, not knowing where to start since everything on my rig has either been replaced or...

    C6 Flexplate Upgrade

    I have finally found the source to my engine tick at idle. And although I have not yet taken transmission out to inspect flexplate, Gary thinks that the stamped steel plate that bolts onto cast iron plate is either cracked or bolts have loosened up over time, causing knocking sound at idle. We...
