My Wife’s SUV gets a Cam and Tune! BAD IDEA?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 พ.ค. 2024
- Well my wife's 08 Yukon had a DOD/AFM lifter fail 8 months ago and it is time to finally get it fixed and back on the road. It has an all aluminum 5.3 L33 with flat top pistons, 799 heads, and the bread box intake manifold so you know a guy like me can't just tear down an engine like that without doing some modifications. Let's see how this LS responds to a bigger aftermarket Comp Cam, a Diablo Sport I3 tuner, and an exhaust modification.
If you want your own Comp Cam head over to compcams.com @Compcams1976
Here is a link to the tuner we used from Diablo Sport www.holley.com/account/wishli...

I'd like to take a moment and say a prayer for that 4L60E, may she live a long and prosperous life trying to keep up with Marge's right foot! 😂💯
Yes thank you
tylermartelle7041 ... look at your feet, Tyler. Now, which foot does the stomping on the gas? Think hard, Tyler, this isn't a trick question ... 🤣 ...
@@oscarwilde5473but, what if you're an amputee, no right foot? That obviously leaves a manual trans out of the question.
@oscarwilde5473 Marge might be a double footer, some people drive with both feet
@@Hbzprojects I drive automatics with two feet for two reasons. First, it's nice to have a foot hovering over the brake pedal, quickens response times a lot. Second, I grew up driving manual trannys so it feels awkward if I don't use my left foot to drive an automatic.
Happiness is finding a bonus sleeperdude video ❤❤❤
Thank you
@@sleeperdude2690 Definitely!
So very true
Its like Christmas
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Josh has the patience of a saint,when that water pump bolt broke most other mechanics would have thrown their tools across the driveway
I try not to get to bent out of shape
I am guilty of auto rage!❤
Patience is a great asset
I would've thrown it at the water pump.
That's the exact reason I couldn't do youtube videos of me working on vehicles I get too emotionally invested.
Ikr. I bet I've have chunked 14 complete sets of wrenches, into the tree rows over the last 25 years. 😂
Lots of Sleeperdude content this week. Appreciate you and the family.
Our pleasure!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good thing Wawa got her license, Marge is going to loose hers!!
You ain’t kidding
Best comment!
@@sleeperdude2690that was a sign for you put an LS Corvette engine and twin turbos and 50 shot nitrous..........
ITS A SIGN FROM GOD.....
THOU MUST GAS IT AND THUS GOETH.....
and who am I doubt the word of God
Dang! I thought Wa only got her permit.
ROFLMAO 😂
We're seeing a new, matured Josh here. Had heads completely off, and did no porting whatsoever. 😂
👍👍👍👍
The wealth of knowledge in Josh’s head is priceless. Time & experience you can’t just skip ahead or replace.
Thanks for all your dedication to the channel.
Thank you that means a lot
But I do think I would have replaced the vc gasket.
You're the envy of all the men and boys watching who want to be like you, as well as the super hero to your loving wife and kids who depend on you. Good Job! 🎉
Thank you
👍👍👍👍👍👍
6:24 Josh I’m full on board with you say no more upgrade the injectors headers dual exhaust COME ON’
The perfect family SLEEPER I’m having a hard time controlling myself with comments lol 😆 I love this channel even more. It’s me Eddie P.
🤣🤣🤣
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Josh, you're a mechanical genius.
I'm about twice your age and learned a lot from you.
Wow thank you
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Sweet! Got off work early and got home to a surprise midweek sleeper dude episode!
Awesome hope you enjoy
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I love this generation of Yukons. Thank you Josh and Tosh! Whip that thing 😂
Thank you
Calm down Marge,this is exactly what the dealer does to solve the tic tic issue. Josh is well educated on what to do! Love it guys!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
sweet surprise! sleeperdude on Wednesday! and… i got to be thumbs up number 20…
Thank you really appreciate it
👍👍👍👍👍👍
I like how you fixed the exhaust leak by unbolting the exhaust. Brilliant!
👍👍👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Another letter said you're saving money on labor by doing the work yourself, I blew the head gaskets out of my '01 Grand Marquis, and a friend of my brother's gave me a $3000 quote. Good Job!
Yes super expensive
4.6 a lot more complicated
Excellent. A Sleeper Dude video on a Wednesday?! Excellent. Thank You Josh and Tosh and Family. Thank You. You made a tough week get so much better. God Bless You All and your Family and Friends and Animals. Love from Hebb's Cross Nova Scotia Canada.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
If you don't get the squeaking stopped, it's the bearing in the water pump. Where you heated that water pump up, It burnt that water pump bearing
Maybe so
I was just getting ready to comment the same thing. Been there, done that
My brother was a mechanic for 37 years and he would definitely agree with you, hard Charlie that's what he called it. Difficult first easy last.
Josh is such a great mechanic and teaching to his kids teaching them everything he knows so hands-on and is very impressive to watch and awesome to watch the kids Always be involved in doing something to help and learn
Thank you
Ah, more fun times with the Sleeperdude family!!!
Hope you enjoy
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Surprised with a Wednesday video and to make it even better, it’s just over an hour long! Love the content Josh and family.
Thank you
Thanks for sharing your struggles and family with us again. You two are truly amazing parents with amazing kids. You have truly been blessed
Sleeperdude in the middle.of the week. Well I'll be dipped, oh wrong person! Its impeccable!!
Thank you
An all Tennessee tuber meet? Derek and Josh?
Glad to see you getting tosh s suv going. Love the channels. Keep up the good work 👍. God bless you all.
Thank you
Ur welcome
You have the benefits of a cooperative crew of helpers--everybody contributes, it must be nice to have helpers, they are starting to acquire some useful skills!
Thank you
"Just fix it so I can drive it." Seriously Marge, have you not watched this channel before?? 🤣🤣🤣 Strong work getting Marge up and running again!! Who doesn't love a good squeal in their engine? It'll be fine.
Exactly
I appreciate your videos so much. I’m good now, but you, your videos, and your family has helped me get through some major depressions in the past.
I have the night off! Pizza is in the oven, box of woppers, and some spruce beer soda... bring it, one of nicest family on the TH-cams.
Great job guys. You are going to have to dock Rocky's pay Granny was working and he was hiding somewhere 😅😊❤
Exactly
Rocky off with his ladies! 😂
So THAT'S WHAT'S been up with the Marge Barge!
Yep
You should have washed it before disassembly. I cannot believe you didn’t. It’s not only dirty with crap in the air that gets in your eyes and nose, it’s terrible protocol. It subjects disassembled parts to degradation caused by exposure to foreign impurities. A clean project is aesthetically more pleasing. But your knowledge of this project as you investigated is impressive. You are the real McCoy.
The face marge made when she started up was priceless. I have experienced that air pocket problem once. Took me a bit to figure it out.
Josh I just wanted to tell you my good friend his wife had the same truck tosh got he was getting engine lights cylinder 5 was over heating it’s a bad design from gm he had it looked at by his inspection guy he said them trucks had a over heating problem on cylinder 5 so they put a spoon type thing they sale it bolts to the end cap on the connecting rod so every time that spoon picks up oil it throws it up in the cylinder like on a Briggs n Stratton motor it worked for a little but he traded the truck in because the new motor was going to be over 5 grand I don’t even think it had a 100,000 miles on it maybe that spoon add on part you may of seen them before I just wanted to tell you before I forget good to see you all I need to watch this episode tonight after work god bless you guys this made my day this video thank you :)
Thank you

Good Morning Josh. Very Well Done to You Achieving this Incredible Detailed Mechanical Engineering of this Beautiful SUV of Marges. I really liked your Step by Step Narration of the Process of Changing the Camshaft and replacing the Lifter. This is what a really Love about this Amasing Channel, Everybody who involved and Watching and Listening to what you are Showing and Teaching anyone who might need to know, what to do. I really did like the moment when Marge started the Engine, we heard that Incredible Roar from Exhaust System. She sounds really Awesome, to see Marge with a Big Smile on her Face was a Picture to see. So Lovely to see Ralphie, Wa Wa and Squeezy all getting Involved with this Excellents hands on Project that has taken this length of time. It was well worth the Hard Work, Effort, Strength, Determination, Grit and to Just carry on to Complete this Incredible and also Life Changing Stepping Stone that You Congquered, just like , if it was a Battle that the SLEEPER DUDE FAMILY!!!!! wanted to Fight and Win and become Successful in AMERICA!!!! of today 2024. I am Very Proud of all of You Gorgeous people. Total Big, Big Respect to all of You. JONATHAN/ ENGLAND..
Thank you so much

I always look forward to seeing Your next Professional, Excellent, Thoughtful very Well edited Movie of your next Project or Life family Event to you want to Share with Your Audience Josh. Big Respect and Your Beautiful Family. Jonathan/ England/ Peterborough.
I have a 2001 Chevy Z71 4x4 that has 245,000 miles on the original 5.3 vortex and still idles as smooth as the day I drove it off the dealers lot.
Awesome
Great! You've got the wagon and now the Yukon up and running. Wawa's car is done except for some cosmetics. Great job, Sleeperdude Crew! Don't throw away those parts, that's Ralphie art supplies! I hope you guys are okay through these storms. This last one even made it over the App mtns. Thanks for the extra video! Stay safe!
Yeah we gotta hunker down after while
Ok Wawa...It's an unwritten rule , if you bring your Hot Chocolate in the shop a spoon is not allowed. Use a 10 mm Spanner !
🤣🤣🤣🤣
10:43 HAA haa haa ha ha ha LOL!! I can't help but just LOVE good ol Marge speaking up full voice and I have only a comprehension of about 40% of what she's saying!! LOL. Love you Tosh!!!
I feel you about your Thermostat bolt, replaced all hoses etc on my Mark 7 . I said why not replace the Thermostat and housing. Bolt would not move , so I said no new Thermostat and housing! When you Bolt broke I said that could have been me ! You did great work getting it done, most people would have sent to the junkyard.
Ive had the steam vents plugged on my supercharged 5.3 swapped c10 for about 5 yrs now with zero issues…..just make sure you jack up the front passenger tire when your filling the cooling system so that it is properly burped of all and any air pockets
Ok thanks good tip
Gm even plugged some of the front ones from the factory, seen them in all sorts of combinations
woohooo i was waiting for the weekend but this is fantastic to yay, much love to you all keep up the great work
Thank you
Fact: Ralph was Dale Earnhardt SR 3 name. We see why a 10 yr old deserves a vette now? Great attitude, attention, and shared knowledge from Ralphie.
When you said "go granny go" it reminded me of the song "Little Old Lady From Pasadena" by Jan and Dean.
Good somg
wow..I just happened to be searching you-tube, then I saw this surprise. Sleeperdude wednesday. Great!!!
Awesome thanks! Make sure your subscribed and have the bell on
@@sleeperdude2690 I have been subscribed for a few years now. I was on my computer at work when I saw the upload...
Great time again watch great video 👍
Thanks again!
Watched the episode that look on tosh’s face on start up with that new sound was epic lololol loved it .
3:38 Marge Bo Duke’n the yookun on the school drop off🇦🇺🤙🏼
For sure
Thank you so much now today is great
You're welcome 😊
Snuck this one in on us.. Impeccable. LOL
Hope you like it
Hylomar has been around forever, I remember my grandfather using it in England back in the 80 s and it being old school back then! Supposedly tried and true product!
It's a long ways infor the lifter's! Great job guy's! Love watching your awesome family!
Ralphie: It's leaking oil
Josh: That's factory
🤣🤣🤣
Just what led foot needs mire power lol
Exactly
@@sleeperdude2690 that vvt system is a joke my 2011 charger has that
Smart decision on getting rid of that troublesome cylinder de-activation nonsense. Even smarter decision on the camshaft upgrade. When those lifters go, they go in a bad way. At least it was only one of them. Great repairs!!!
great job, but im gonna add i hope those severe storms and tornadoes in tennessee this past week didnt affect ur family nor friends too badly,. as they were very deadly. perhaps ur next project that u n ur family can do that will influence others to do so as well is install an underground storm shelter on your property. youtube videos influences and impacts everyone whom watches them in many ways, if doing a video on a subject like this saves even one life, its more than worth it. yes its not a car or repair video, its more a potential life saving video, but i for one would watch it as im sure hundreds of thousands if not millions of others would as well. STAY SAFE Sleeperdude family, STAY SAFE everyone!
Ralph is tearing into this job with authority 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Yes he’s a good helper
let's go
Yes
Awesome job. Sounds great. Loved the look on Wawa's face as she looked at mom driving, 😂😂😂. I could hear her thinking "this woman is crazy " hahahaha. Love you all so much. Your videos always put a smile on my face. Thanks for sharing and I'll see you later.
I love seeing the 90s-2000s Suburbans being freed from all the 90s-2000s electronics . I remember when I was young we'd get an old 80s Suburban and hot rod it and drop it low and have a great cruiser.
Who remembers when you could sit or stand in the engine bays while working on motors. Seeing Mr Josh standing there brought back memories
The good old days
So happy for Marge! 😂
Happy Mother's day
I tried to think how much labor would have cost you 😵💫 ❤ your family and the channel 🙏🕊️
I did a flush on a 2000 gmc Jimmy. Ended up having to put the front end up on ramps to get the air pocket out. It worked good. Great video. 😊
Mate.... engine infoward position. Is a blessing.
Side on . What a pain.
God bless
For sure
Great job Josh, working on your personal stuff because it is broke is never much fun. But with the new performance mods it will be more fun to drive, so well worth the effort. Great video!
Thanks family! Always great to see a new Sleeperdude video! Sure made this Wednesday a better one!!
Thank you
I love the attention to detail you take. I had the same issue, getting hot, after I did the exact same thing to mine. VVT delete 550 cam kit from truck Norris. Ended up being an air pocket
😳
I love that you include the family in everything you do and love. I hope to be a great father just like you.
Nice! It’s been a while since we got a mid week video!! Thanks y’all!!❤
Our pleasure!
Sleeperdude episode in the middle of the week. Pleasant surprise. Love watching you & your beautiful family.
Now that's a lot of engine to strip and rebuild, awesome job guys
Great video! i love to watch you guys troubleshoot. Glad you got it working
I'm getting ready to do this to a GMC as well. I'll be paying attention for sure.
Good luck
is so nice to see a video of all of you in mid of the week and much better will get to see another one on the weekend and yes we should prey before Marge's drives that suv good job josh god blees u
😊😊😊😊
Back in the early 90’s I had dual exhaust put on my truck and my dad was so mad at me and I’ll never forget the conversation he had with me. He looked at me and said you know loud exhaust will blow up your engine and at that time I didn’t understand what he meant after the second engine I finally figured it out it wasn’t the exhaust it was my foot and my wanting to hear the exhaust lol.
Thanks for listening to me and fix Marge’s truck. You’re the best.
The kid doing the advertisement was fabulous!
I personally prefer the older small block for many reasons, but the leaking always came from over torquing the Cork gaskets, when rubber gaskets started with torque stops, it stopped the old “oil leaks” in the common spots.
They are cool
Thanks for the surprise video. Prayers for you all.
i enjoy that you include the whole family. always worth watching
I am so impressed that you actually found a use for a 9mm socket!
Love watching each and every video and this one was awesome. You have a happy wife so you're having a happy life. Love the way it sounds.
At work today saw a bad situation and said 'That's unfortunate ' laughter and thought of you!! Thanks 😊
🤠🤠🤠Josh, as Gomer Pyle would say, "Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!!" Thanks for the extra vidja, hard work, patience, and gettin er done. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee, y'all.
Yes!!!!
I had the same problem with my wife’s Denali and if you get coolant on the belt you need to replace it it will not stop winning
Glad to see you got the Yukon running. I’m envious, wish mine sounded and ran that strong.
Always enjoy watching you get a vehicle back in service.
GREAT WIN!!! Good job!
Thank you
Kid talks like he’s been doing this for 20 years! Hahaha love it.
You're an awesome mechanic Josh. Pleasure to watch.
Thank you
Josh mentioning the wind whipping almost the exact same time I get a weather statement saying that we have a tornado watch in effect til 4am. Nice work guys! 💙🙏🏻
Wonderful TV, wonderful family,
Thank you
For all you do, Joshua... Thank you...!!! ❤😊
Josh, the squeaking is definitely the belt. Antifreeze will ruin a serpentine belt. I've tried scrubbing them with soap and water, used brake clean, nothing stops it until you replace the belt with a new one.
My coworker is having this same problem in his gmc Sierra 1500 im going to share this video to him this should help him out
Ok thanks
PRAY THAT GOD PROTECTS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DURING THESE NASTY STORMS.
Yes we are good so far
Love you got the OG family Truxter goin!! Get u a vacuum fill for your cooling system. I use mine at work all the time on these Fords, never a air pocket
👍👍🤣
Couldn’t tell if you did or not, but when bleeding the coolant system turn your heater on full blast 👌🏾👌🏾
I enjoyed this video a lot.
Just another great video guys......thanks for the episode.
I used a spark plug cleaner when I was 16, I'm almost 67 now. They do work well.
hey Josh,
did some work on an LS motor here in Australia and it started squeaking too, changed the belt and idlers, and still kept squeaking, changed the water pump and still kept squeaking, so i tried a trick and old mechanic told me...
get a bar of soap and hold it against the belt on both the inside and outside while the engine is running....
and sure enough it stopped squeaking, results do seem to vary though, sometimes it stops squeaking completely, sometimes it only stops it squeaking for a short while and then you can do the soap trick again. anyways could be worth a shot.
keep up the great work and content mate, love it!
