What do you want to know?
I am looking for the updated VLOM, what is the part number and if they are available?
To make a long story short, lifters went bad and a bent push rod. We fixed put in all new lifters, and had it tuned. Well anything over 1/3rd throttle or so the check engine light starts flashing. It is a P0300 code. You can not feel a miss at all, but the scan tool says #7 is where the miss is coming from. We did not replace the vlom because couldn't find one. We ohm'd it out and one is off, so I am hoping that is the problem. We changed plugs, coil, and injector on that cylinder. Leak down is good and has as much or more than the other 7 cylinders. So the VLOM is the only thing we can think to try....

I worked on the equipment that made those plates at GM Rochester and those are the early version . I'm not sure you can replace individual solenoids because of the way they are " wired " or should I say hydraulicly riveted to a + & - buss bar ., then flow tested .
I don't believe there is a difference between the Chevy , Cadillac & GMC plates of the same size motor , but not 100% sure .

Yeah, not individually. I am trying to find the entire VLOM. Two are available on ebay at a 100%+ plus mark up

They are on a massive back order at the dealer last one I installed took a couple months to get.
Do you know what the part number is, I want to make sure I am looking for the correct thing

Shane, my "SWAG" is the VLOMS are the same for the different brands.
If you haven't seen the TSB on the issue, this is the latest I've seen.
Do you know if they changed the filter under the cover?
Is there a NC emissions law you have to pass?
HTH,

HTH,
We discussed that filter, I am not sure if they changed or not. With one of the selinoids ohming differently than the other 3 we are hoping that is the problem. While apart I will make sure they change it. I just can't find a new VLOM, other than one on ebay for an outrageous price of $800

If you don't have emissions test, maybe do away with it?
Do you know how to delete it? Is there a way to keep the idiot light off?

Shane, here's a link to a lot of info.
www.bing.com
Make sure the parts are GENNIE Gm stuff such as the lifter buckets and lifters. Lots of chatter on this @ LS1tech.com.
The cheap Chinese shit is unreliable.
Sam's suggestion for Summit is most likely the source I'd use. I'd call and get the tech desk and use that info to get the "good stuff".
