Just a thought but you should put a bag over the alternator before pressure washing so the water wont ruin it

Get to the point please

What is the name of the big plastic piece that covers that area?

Thanks for the torque specs mate

Anyone doing this, just put 2 screws back in the cover. One on each end. The middle screws are terribly hard to line back up.

I'm glad you finally scored, huh-huh-huh-huh.

Munstangmach --- I started trying to cut the plastic out today -- What a PAIN! This is by far the worst job I ever tried to do! Nothing in my vast assortment of tools is a match to this thing! I am now looking at a Dremel Type Tool with a rotary shaft and some type of cut off blades! DANG! You have to be a contortionist to even be able to close to work under that thing!

So I tried to find a way to remove the 3rd screw (that is right above the transmission HUMP) and I cannot seem to find a 7mm socket combination that will let me unscrew that bugger -- And, you said was it was a PAIN! Well Yeah but I wish you would have shown how you go that particular screw out from that location!

Might have to double check and do this on my car as well. I have the same leak at the same spot. Looked up above and I saw some wet areas around the oil pan gasket, just above the black plastic cover that's in between the oil pan and the flywheel. Moisture both slightly above and below the white gasket line. I'm thinking my leak may be caused by the oil pan gasket going bad. But its only in that corner area. I may do a double check to be sure, because there's also a little bit of moisture back at the top of the engine by the lower intake manifold in the same bottom right corner like yours too. Nothing crazy, but its wet again after cleaning it with brake clean. Hell, who knows, might just do both of em. Oil pan looks easier, so I'll start there.

Ok it's been 3yrs 😂😂😂 can we take it out and see what it looks like

What is your truck doesn’t come with this set up and does it have a slot for the conversion?

Utility Knife and Band-Aids is how I did mine. Neosporin should help too for the next few days.

Hello, thank you for the video, well done. I am actually installing pistons on a ford 289. The sliding effort of the piston in the cylinder seemed very important to me, but I have the impression that in your video, this is also the case. Can you tell me if I should be worried about this? My ring end gaps are between 0.017 and 0.023" (Sealed Power - E251K... seems to be the same as yours).

No sé ve cuando cortaste y sacó el filtro viejo

Might have missed it but didn’t see a definite leak. Did this fix the leak at the engine pan/transmission area? I have the same leak, have replaced upper and lower gaskets already about 6 months ago. I cannot see the leak anywhere.

Where did you get your gasket sets from

My trucks a 2012 same color and i just did the same kit myself. Needless to say being a big guy this job was not easy. Took me about a hour to do.

I have a 2011 to install retro fit and does even look the same ,it was a lot larger unit maybe because of the Canadian market

We could probably thank the bean counters at GM for deleting that filter and door option. “If we don’t throw in a filter and a door we’ll save $12 bucks on each p/u and suv that we produce !” Probably the person who came up with that idea got a promotion and saved the company literally millions !

Same thing is happening with my 2007 Buick Lurcence

Very nice job!!!!! Where did you get the copies of the torque specs on both lower and upper intakes? Also, How did you get the lower intake cam shaft area where all that oil was? It was crystal clean.....I have a 2008 lucerne and I am sure one day i will have this done. These cars are great but always something going bad in them, I have to install a new charcoal canister soon with all the sensors, They keep you always at the parts shop, But its horrible that the parts are made like crap these days,,,,Good luck with your lucerne

Crenel tool and aluminum tape bro.

have a 477/481 rockola the amp is a 5228-A amp in the amp looking for the male and female connters on the pc boards any help thank you john

have the same amp and power supply on the amp looking for the male and female connectors on the pc boards of the amp thank you fron john

thank you for looking from john

Nothing wrong with the silicone, but it's really a "belt and suspenders" measure, the press-fit is what does 99.99% of the sealing. I think they do use a sealant from the factory, but it's more of a "defect prevention" thing than it is a "primary seal" thing, all it does is stop parts getting returned as often. And you gotta remember, these cars back in those days were lucky to get 20k miles before they needed a valve re-grind anyways (part of why they used leaded gas), so they saw service a lot more frequently than modern vehicles. That means that this water pump is gonna need to get worked on again sooner or later (and probably sooner), no matter how good of a job you do on it, just due to the nature of the design of the thing. Point is, sometimes "they don't build them like they used to" is a good thing! These days water pumps last as long as the timing belt does, or longer. But you change the water pump when you change the timing belt because you've already got the thing torn down that far, the water pump is driven from the timing belt, and it's not worth "not doing" while you're in there. Saves the customer money of having a potential overheat down the road in any case.

Can the LIM be mistaken for head gasket replacement? My mechanic told me the heads aren't blown, but that the thermostat has to stay out of the car until winter or it will get hot again. He also believes the problem is still the head gasket even though it is not blown, does this make sense? 2008 Buick Lacrosse 82k miles.

Hey what’s that thing inside the insane manifold from time line 3:20 - 3:30

Good job on the videos! I wonder if we'll have a problem with the self tapping screw that holds the door after we have to replace the filter several times.

Gm want to save 2 screws , WHYYYYY

Sorry i fell asleep.

Use blow torch heat up utility knife blade,they cut like a butter.

Is the air flow good after installing the filter, or has it become weak?

Depending on the year my 2006 Lucerne 3.8 . Didn't have freeze plugs on back of block between motor and bellowing. There was a plate that the rear seal fits in that also has water jacket holes in it . And was leaking anti freeze from the plate.had to separate transmission from motor replace gasket and real main seal. Also had to drop the oil pan to get the plate to seal because the plate seals to the oil pan

Does the 4.6 northstar take the same gasket?

Thank you for taking the time to do this video AND for doing it from start to finish! I did this for a 2013 Tahoe LT. The process was exactly as you showed with your Silverado. As someone commented on your Part 3 video, I also used an oscillating tool with standard cutting blades; my blade set (Ridgid) includes a tiny one that I used for the end cuts. I didn't try it, but I think that a Dremel tool with cutting discs might also make things a bit easier. I cleaned up the cut edges with some sandpaper and vacuumed to be sure that it was all clean. I got the "Dorman 259-200 Cabin Air Filter Retrofit Kit" from Amazon, which came with the plate and screw that are needed to complete the installation.

How else would you replace the filter otherwise?

You gotta heat the plastic with a hair dryer then the blade will go through like butter

💃 P R O M O S M

Well, I was pretty excited about this project. Ordered the kit, pulled the plastic kickpanel off and realized my 2013 1500 Silverado LT uses a different blower housing. There is no blank slot to cut out. I’m bummed!

*promo sm* 😕

Use a vibe knife for easier cutting and safety.

Not a pleasant job to do, but flip the filter around, so filter is against the core. BUT it'll work. I've used a hot knife or a solder iron with flat tip and it will really make fast work of cutting the alot out. A great GM design. Nice job

On my 2014 Chevy 1500 WT has No cutout for a cabin filter under the dash my under dash is like the 2013 and there's not one behind the glove box either . Go Figure

My name is Greg and I have a 2012 Z71 four-wheel drive and I live with a lot of leaves and my blower motor stopped working because it's full of crap from the leaves and s*** so I went to change my cabin air filter we don't have a hole for it so thank you very much for your information I guess when I got my truck it came from Mexico and they didn't cut the right things out when I supposed to so thank you

Thank you

Awesome video. I have the same vehicle and O’Reillys keeps giving me a filter that that does not look like the one you installed. Can you shoot me in the right direction to get that filter and cover?

Nothing on my 2012 Silverado even looks like this none of the plastic pieces under the glove box with the fan motor even match up to 8 videos I looked at. Called Chevy dealer and asked, some Silverado not made for cabin filter I evidently have one of them.

Was going to change the cabin filter on my 2012 Silverado spent 2 hours only to find out my pickup has no way to retrofit this just put it all back together and forget about it.
