Soo im at work today telling a couple mechanics Im thinking about putting a bigger cam in my truck.. Their answer to me was get ready to pull the engine.
Im like WHAT???? since when? They said cuz u have to pull the oil pump and pickup tube. There for u have to remove the oil pan. I said no u dont u only have to pull the top timing chain gear and pull the cam out. I even showed them a vid on you tube where a guy did a cam swap and never touched his oil pump. They looked at me like i was retarded and walked away. Pissed me off to kno end.

So my question is Whos right Me or them??

 

Your right and they need to quit sniffing glue...... I did 3 cam swaps in my old 4.8 and i have never touched the oil pump.... Just remove the top cam sprocket...

 

Thank u sir

 

You are right, better yet, do your own video and email it to all of them, and then at the end, hold up a sign that says "Suck on that, Bitches"

 

what he said ^^^.. on my 3rd cam swap soon... its actually not that hard

 

ON a side note they said that it would take an est of 19 hours start to finish i said ur fukin high. This is why there called stealer ships.

 

Correct, that is why they're called stealerships. First one, even if doing cam and springs for your first time, if you've got a decent idea as to what you're doing... I'd say 6-8 hours tops.

 

Thats what i had said to them like 6 or 7 being from what i kno and have read. They were like well when u *** it up dont bring it here. Man i was heated. I dont open my mouth on stuff about cars or trucks unless i kno im right and them tryin to shove it in my face just set me off.

 

They are right. It can not be done. While you at it pull the bed off to change the rear tires, shocks. Tell them to get bent.. If you have any mechanical ability it might take you 10 hours, that is with the added beer breaks

 

what do they normally work on? i wouldn't take a bicycle to them to put air in the tires. it would probley take them an 1hr for that.
