    2011 Suburban 2500 console wiring

    Upon further digging, I see that the amp is a Bose, and my “you ess gummint” fleet model Suburban did not come with the Bose sound system. Those wires were meant for the accompanying pieces of the system. I removed the accessory power/USB wires and will power them up.

    After installing a replacement adtermarket radio and replacing the Apple Play USB port with GM aux poer port I decided to see why the aux power, etc was not working in the console. Mystery solved, no harness(s) connecting the stuff in/under the console! Anyone have a clue what I need here to...

    So, is there any “depth” to the darker areas? Looks similiar to past area of corrosion.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Finally purchased an Innova 5160RS OBD2 scanner. Coupled with the app it has been very easy to use. Quite handy.

    Hyd roller with stock timing cover

    Used a Comp Cams retrofit roller with button. Trimmed the button a bit to fit correctly under the stock cover. Works fine.

    What is my new squarebody??? Need help!

    You may be able to use the serial number, which is probably a National Stock Number (NSN), and find it that way.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Purchased a new valve spring compressor tool #648615 from Advanced Auto here. It could not budge the Comp springs on my 454. So I bought a large C clamp and made my own. Works great.

    Is there such a thing as Cams for Dummies

    I used to think the same until I had a set of roller lifters fail recently.

    Question on RTV if needed or not

    Prolly would not hurt. This may be obvious, but was not to me for a long time, if that is an auto, use the sealant rated for auto trans fluid.

    Oil in the “heat passages” on BBC 360 heads

    I was surprised to find lots of oil in the passages between the #4 and #5 exhaust over to the intake manifold on both 360 heads. Should I be? Cracked heads? Blowing in from the exhaust stroke? Thanks.
