  1. If it was a 94 on back Chevy, it would not have needed any of this work yet, and not half of that at 200,000 miles. The new Chevy vehicles are not from the sense of building a durable long lasting vehicle. I was a diehard Chevy person a couple decades ago. You couldn’t pay me to be one today.

  2. It was more than likely the impact you put on it and conveniently edited out of the footage that broke the knock sensor… you never do anything by hand, that tells viewers all they need to know.

  3. Why would they torque those things so tight, Given the location and the pain to get to you would think they would take the 1 min or less to grab the torque wrench.

  4. Ray, You should invest in a set of carbide drill bits. Forget cobalt or titanium and all the others, carbide will drill through everything, including titanium and Monel which are pretty much the hardest metals known. Yes they're expensive but we'll worth the price.

  5. I had this exact scenario & after 3 days of searching it turned out to be a strut mount setting off the KS. These GM KS’s are way too sensitive & always have been.

    Edit: should’ve just taped off the holes before drilling you goober
