Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!

To release the rear seats, to fold them down and place them down within your trunk, you're going to open your trunk. There is a latch here and there's also one over here for the opposite seat. You're just going to grab, pull the tab forward, open your door, grab your seat, and just lean it forward.

Ticking Clicking Noise Coming From Your Engine Diagnosing Collapsed Lifters

Andy diagnoses a top end clicking ticking noise in our Chevy Avalanche! Andy locates the clicking noise to the top driver side of the 5.3L V8 engine, and discovers an intermittent misfire in cylinder 1. After removing the valve cover, he finds a very loose rocker, the source of our noise. He determines the rocker is loose because its lifter has collapsed, meaning it's not pushing up on the rocker when activated by the camshaft. The fault is in the AFM (active fuel management) lifter.
