No, I didn't. The machine shop had a backlog that would've pushed my completion date beyond when I needed the truck back in service for our long-planned camping trip with friends. It would've been a great upgrade, but I had to let it go. That said, I plan to hang on to this truck for another 10 years, so I'm sure will get the itch to do some more engine work along the way.

Side note: My wife and I both work from home and have 2 other vehicles as well, so this one just sits in the garage until we take a long trip or tow, and never sees winter roads, so it should last a long time. I briefly considered a new Yukon XL Denali, but with the problems they're having with lifters and bent pushrods with the DFM system, mine is more reliable than a new one would likely be anyway.

They gave me the same thing, but unless I am just blind I still don't see the seat to seat/advertised duration or any seat to seat specs?

How is the idle? Is it exactly like stock? or is there a little more shaking? And how much were you going to mill the heads?

Yeah, those details aren't there. Still, I wanted to post it up anyway because it shows the fact that they measure each cam after the grind, which I think is great!

The idle is really nice. It has a nice, light grumble to it that you can hear outside the truck, but is undetectable from behind the wheel. My previous BTR stage 2 cam was a little annoying with its chop at traffic lights behind the wheel. This cam is smooth at traffic lights, so its overall drivability is much better.

At idle at a light, I can't tell the difference between this cam and the factory cam that's still in my 2007 with the L92 engine. Note that I also haven't had my BB tune updated for this new cam.

Here's a video of the idle quality for you.
