I’ll tell you something I’m not proud of:
My 2012 Avalanche took a shit - dropped #4 cylinder due to issues related to AFM. I drove it on the remaining 7 cylinders to trade it on a 2022 GMC Sierra AT-4 w/6.2L L87 gen 5 V8 & 10L80 tranny. At 58k mi, the engine...

Thanks. Labor was billed @ $175/hr. I’ll be doing all my side job work to pay for this over the summer.
UPDATE:
So I had received an estimate of $4200 on 3/15. Yesterday I received a tally so far of $8400. Apparently there was a $3500 estimate that I didn’t receive previous to 3/15 for removing the starboard engine.
The work to repair the following is complete:
- repair the leaking fuel pump
-...
