I have been thinking about pulling the motor and just doing all the appropriate maintenance repairs with the motor out, much easier to replace items at that point. I mean, I have a brand new lift and engine stand just sitting in the corner from my 87 GMC Sierra project and I only used these items a few times for that project so they have been barely used. It would be easy to do the chain and alternator as well. I probably should do this with the STE when the time comes. Whatever these LQ1's require for maintenance, they will get! Thank you.
