Good evening
I have an 06 Chevy Trailblazer with 5.3 VIN M. I am about to tear into it and attempt to do a DOD delete. It has zero compression on cylinder 1, misfire cylinder 1 and a random misfire code. It still carries 40 PSI Oil Pressure and other then the lifter tapping it sounds good.
Do you have any advice? Where should I start? Where do you get parts from? I had looked at Texas speed.com. Anything I should do or not due. I would like to have the heads redone while off too. Any other upgrades I should consider? This is a family vehicle, Wanting it to run smooth and quiet but also wouldn't mind a little more power if all that can go into one package. We do pull a trailer with it now and then.
I thought I had read that I can get a Stock non DOD Cam and not have to have the PCM Reprogramed, Is that true. I should also ask, Do you recomend stock cam since I'm this far in or do you recomend something else. If I have to have the PCM reprogramed can it be sent off and programmed or does it need to stay with the vehicle? Can it be ran safely without having it reprogramed
Thanks in advance for your time
