Possibly because the engine has been swapped it is of an 07+ verses 05/06 and the camshaft and crankshaft reluctor difference was not even considered!

Then the associated codes would pop up, not the case here, plus from the YouTube video the problems associated would be irrelevant of a cam/crank reluctor compatibility issue.

I am certain that the DOD lifters have collapsed. The feed tube Cannot be blocked by a non DOD valley tray when using DOD lifters.
More the likely, the heads will need to be removed and lifters/guides will have to be replaced with std non DOD lifters in order to retain the LS6 intake, If the dealer wants to keep it simple.
The other option would be to convert back over to a LS4 tray and intake. Either way the lifters will need to be replaced, as I am certain that they have collapsed.
This poor car is all wrong now. I am deeply saddened and lost sleep last night.

Make a deal. Things happen for a reason. This car found you, it could be a chance to start over. Loved reading your threads in the past, my goal will always be n/a. I hope you go for it!

Well the GXP is going to be towed out of here on Monday. I have passed Davids contact info on to the used car lot. Seems my work is done here. Kinda wanted to tear it down and post what I found. Thanks guys I will post my Astro Build somewhere on here when she gets closer to being done. See ya all around.

Keep us posted! I hope one day my gxp can be close to what Davids car use to be. Hope this thing gets sorted out. Sad to see it end up in this condition
