Six years ago, we posted our GM 2.8/3.0/3.2/3.6L Timing Chain Replacement Repair Video. That one walks through everything you need to know on how to service the timing chain components in the GM High-feature V6 engines from 2007 to 2015 as of mid-2016, using Cloyes aftermarket replacement components.
This video covers diagnosis and new product offerings Cloyes has developed since 2016. It’s full of tips and information to ensure successful repairs. Both videos apply to 2.8, 3.0, 3.2 and 3.6L GM engines from 2007 to 2021 in some applications. We recommend you watch both this video (diagnosis) and that video (repair) before you begin your repair.
⚠️ IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTE: ⚠️
You must activate the secondary tensioners after installation. Clip removal does not activate the tensioners! Please refer to this Tech Note for details.
