I found the problem on my GMC terrain (Its bad)

This is bad. Really Bad. Thank you everyone for reaching out and giving me suggestions. Unfortunatley its time to figure out what to do next.

[@HiltonPalmHiltonPalm]

I,m Cool with that . When you mess up then fest up . When doing any timing setting focus on the camshaft marks first. The crank dose;not care.You dig.Its the valve timing.

[@TheProchargedmopar]

Good job showing the screw-up. Save the next guy some big time hassles!!! 👍

[@JovaniDanteGriego]

Thanks! That's what it's all about

[@chrislocke9852]

I have a 2011 terrain and from the looks of it, we need to meet up and push these things off the biggest cliff and report them stolen 😂😂

[@Jaybird12781]

I have a 2013 gmc terrain. Ive only had it 2 months its broken down 3 times within the last 2months biggest piece of crap ever. Im going back to toyota instead of general made crap

[@mags8250]

Count me in

[@kimmyceeisme]

BAHAHAHAHA! Has this meet up happened yet? I’ll join!

[@paulmund7538]

If you're off by one tooth, you'll destroy your valve train. That's what happened to mine

[@johnv1038]

Call me old school but I find it’s always best to manually check top dead center at #1. I’ve personally been lucky but you can’t talk to any reasonably seasoned mechanic and not have Mr. Murphy be mentioned. Keep up the good work bro.

[@JovaniDanteGriego]

That's what I'm going to do next. Tdc with the head off, head, cams timing chain and then tensioners 👍

[@jeffreymrrs150]

Just a FYI.when dealing with timing chains 180 out is not a thing. Number one compression is for distributor timing.

[@dustinnicholas6237]

Do you have a link to that light you are using? Its pretty slick

[@TexHasselhoff]

New to your channel. Are you going to continue the LS swap C10 build? In the next few months I am going to attempt to 4.8/5.3 Vortec swap my 86’ Blazer that already has a TH400 or TH350 in it, without having a shop do it for me. Happy New Year!

[@JovaniDanteGriego]

Yea! This damn gmc got in the way and it's taking up the space I need in the garage. I'm going to be towing it out and working on the c20 this week

[@seapeddler]

Why didn't gm(opal) make the head like the 3.5 Acura or 3.6 Camaro head. Guess the 4 ports remove heat quicker. Bent valves get top dollar on Ebay.

[@a3300000]

Did the old intake valves have deposits? Curious.

[@JovaniDanteGriego]

A ton on both intake and exhaust

[@Troublemaker0npc]

I have this car an it's the timing chain, it's known as a ticking time bomb motor for this issue but they won't put a recall out

[@christopherjohns228]

Sounds like no compression when cranking to me

[@TheScottieShowTV]

Question I know this is an old video but I have a 2017 gmc terrain sle I drove to the grocery store got back into the car tried starting it but had low compression the car didn’t go out on my while I was driving and didn’t hear any sounds like pop or anything could it just be that the timing belt or chain is bad ?

[@user-wb5ro7gc9c]

Did you know the reason?

[@TheScottieShowTV]

@@user-wb5ro7gc9c timing chain went had to buy a new engine getting it put in on the 8th rip

[@trinidadbreeze]

So you had your timing wrong when you you installed the chain.

[@BBrown791]

Yeah they bent just a tad bit. Buy or rent the DOHC manufacturer cam timing tools makes life easier

[@JovaniDanteGriego]

I would but the thing is like 150 dollars and it doesn't do much but hold the phasers in place. Im going to try again tomorrow with some instructions a gm tech sent me

[@BBrown791]

I know they are expensive just makes it easier really helped me on the quad cam 4V. Got an LS1 now never going back to the dohc if I don’t have too. Thinking about throwing a lil cam in my 5.3 🔧😁😎

[@JovaniDanteGriego]

@@BBrown791 hell yea. I've seriously contemplated putting an ls4 in here just to not deal with this crap any more

[@alhavana9426]

Hey man i hve a 2013 GMC terrain I was wondering if you know what the symptom of an initial cold start and the engine stumbles and dies and upon restarting it doesnt do it again But upon restarts during the day it will do the same thing even if engine is warm, no codes tho,so weird,idk if correctI'm thinking maybe something to do with the electronic choke on the throttle body what are your thoughts!?

[@JovaniDanteGriego]

The cheapest thing to replace would be the TPS. You can use a cheap scan tool to see if it is functioning properly. It could also be a dirty throttle body

[@alhavana9426]

[@kingkarma7182]

Ok so I hav a problem I hav a gmc terrain sle 2017 I just realized I need my exhaust and intake vavles replaced and it’s come to my attention that I might need a head gasket replacement how do I check to see if I do and I can I make sure it isn’t just the sensor

[@JovaniDanteGriego]

How do you know you need valves and how do you know you need head gaskets. What are your symptoms?

[@acollins9277]

Damn.

[@JovaniDanteGriego]

Rip

[@chehystpewpur4754]

you can hear right off the bat when he starts cranking there is no compression. out of time and or bent valves.

[@chehystpewpur4754]

also did it come with all those gouges at the back of the head? cause if it did i would have sent that thing back so fast

[@migueltheimigrant]

ok i was watching this video moth ago because my car had the same issue same exact issue not starting just like this car in the video took apart everything same like in the video and was a waste of time i was about to set it on fire but i fix it guys and is the "air mass flow censor " went it goes bad it blocks the started changed and now works like new

[@HomieOsoTV]

Ey man is your terrain a 4cyl or 6cyl

[@JovaniDanteGriego]

4cyl

[@caseykimmons9653]

Mine is cranking , but shaking and turning off in idle , it’s gotta be timing bc of code , is it worth fixing ?

[@JovaniDanteGriego]

Honestly no. The engines are way to pricey used.

[@franciscosarabia5711]

Did you ever get it fixed if so what was it

[@yonofui3755]

Creo que mi Terrain 2010 tiene el mismo problema porque el aceite huele a gasolina 😢y tiembla el motor

[@nicholasgarcia292]

My 2010 is a piece of shit I redid my timing chain and the fucking thing ran out of oil and fucked up after 2000 miles

[@tomshivers6672]

Once you go LS everything else same like trash.

[@JovaniDanteGriego]

I know. Everything is so simple on an LS

[@frankieford7668]

It cranks like it has zero compression and the cam timing is off.. did you try a compression test....yeah you screwed the pooch....😬 sorry dude...

It's all good. I'll get her fixed. It was my fault for not double checking !

This car, & specifically the 2.4 EcoTec engine, is named in the huge GMC class action lawsuit over faulty valve ring engineering, excessive oil consumption & a faulty oil warning lite. Just 2 of the affected vehicles are 2010-2011-2012-2013 Equinox & Terrain's...no recalls ever issued or any alerts announced, even tho GM knew about the issue as early as 2010, so GMC simply allowed owners to drive these cars while they went low on oil with no warning, until they died on the road. It's a freakin' cluster-screw for owners. Settlement was handed down as recently as Nov. 2019. My 2011 Terrain( bought 4/2019) simply became undrivable one morning 12/2020, with "0" warning. Dealing with GMC & the dealership has been a nightmare for me, & after 2-3 back & forth emails, I found out that GMC was only accepting claims for engine repairs until July 2020...barely 10 months after they lost the class action lawsuit against them. My engine blew up in December 2020, so even tho it was part of the actual lawsuit & SHOULD have been covered, I guess they don't have to fix it cuz' the engine blew up 5 months after they stopped accepting claims. Again, no info or warnings were ever issued by GMC. Repair shop has quoted me $8K for a completely rebuilt engine. I used to think our US based auto companies were good guys...but, nope, I guess they ALL have no ethics & no consience. I have "0" idea how I'm going to be able to get my car repaired. 😕

[@migueltheimigrant]

did you fix your car im having an issue with mine

[@christinafahey-matias6119]

@@migueltheimigrant : No, I never received any response from the lawyer I contacted & I don't have the $8K to just tow it to a dealership & have them do a complete rebuild of the engine. The shop it's at has told me, they believe the timing chain has blown, destroying the engine. I towed, covered, & stored it in a field on some land my son owns, until I can save up enough $ to get it fixed. According to the law firm handling claims for the entire Class Action lawsuit, GMC would only honor claims for repairs that were submitted to them between Nov. 2019 & July 2020, nothing after that date. My vehicle blew up in December 2020, so 5 months too late. I guess there just is "0" ethics, integrity, or conscience in any corporation, any more. The whole situation is almost unbelievable...a complete nightmare. Whatever you do, don't drive a Terrain or Equinox without CONSTANTLY checking the oil! If your engine is still running, DON'T drive it, & have the rings on the pistons repaired/replaced ASAP! It'll be expensive, but not nearly as expensive as a damn whole, new engine! I have no idea how I'm ever going to be able to afford to get my car's engine replaced. 😞

[@ItsmeBish584]

Actually the same 2.4 eco tech engines were put in 2014 and 2015 terrains and equinoxes. Unfortunately they made the cut off point at 2013. I had to put a brand new engine in my 2014 terrain denali only 3 months after I bought it because of the excessive oil consumption and faulty *change oil* light didnt let me know shit so my timing chain jumped from lack of lubrication and slapped around in the engine bay causing irreparable damage. Cost me over 5k to fix. This was a year ago, but now it's happening again!! even tho I have kept up on oil changes religiously my car is making that god forsaken timing chain noise again. I'm ready to set this vehicle on fire.

[@christinafahey-matias6119]

@@ItsmeBish584 : Wow...you have my undying sympathy, seriously! My fukin' car is STILL sitting in the field, as the costs of staying alive: rent, food, etc...has been a bigger priority than replacing the Terrain's engine. Wow...I'm really sorry this has happened to so many people. I see a lotta' these vehicles on the highways & I wonder if they've been repaired, if the owners even know they're driving a ticking time bomb, or if it's just dumb luck those vehicles are still running. I guess nobody should buy GMC's anymore. 😕😔
