JCL Performance LLC

Things have been staying busy so far this year over at JCL Performance LLC. We do everything from preventive maintenance to internal engine repair. Recently we had a customer come in with a 2016 Chevrolet Tahoe that was running rough and had codes for misfires an ended up being a lifter. Lifter issues are common on the LS/LT motors with cylinder deactivation. When these lifters fail, they can damage the camshaft lobes and cause catastrophic engine failure. Thankfully with this vehicle the issue was discovered before it could damage major components. The customer opted to do a DOD delete to remove the system's faulty components and prevent the same issue from occurring in the future. This process requires changing the camshaft, removing the heads, and replacing the old lifters. It also requires programming to update the computer afterwards. We use HP Tuners for these programming needs, and all parts used for the repair were GM genuine. Many companies sell kits for this swap, but we found that the kits are often missing components and do not always include quality parts. Below are some pictures of the process and the parts needed.

If your car or truck has a check engine light or lifter issues, we're here to help and explain your options.

Customer came in with a coolant leak on their pickup truck. To pinpoint the leak, we pressure tested the system and found it leaking by the water pump. We replaced the water pump, vacuum filled the coolant system, and replaced the old serpentine belt that had been leaked on. There are no more leaks or squeaks at this time. Below are are some before and after pictures of the repair.

Customer came in with a 95 Mustang for a fuel leak and noise while driving. During diagnosis we found that the bushings in the rear control arms were worn out, and as a result allowed the rear axle to move and come into contact with the fuel lines, causing the leak. We replaced all the fuel lines, and upgraded the control arms and bushings in the rear axle. There are no more leaks or noises and the car handles a lot better. Below are some pictures of the damaged lines we found, as well as before and after pictures of the control arms.

If your car has a leak or started to make a strange noise, we're here to keep your vehicle safe and on the road.
