    5.3 build ideas input please

    I put my Whipple in my 02 at 150k without doing anything to the bottom end. If it had 250k I might have worried. BTW the only maintenance the blower needs is an oil change after 100k miles. Everything needed is included in the kits including intercooler and some include a tune.

    Rear wheel bearing, replace axle?

    I didn’t see this info before I posted. It’s possible that you damaged the axles if the diff went low at all. That’s about the only thing that wears the axles out at the bearings.

    Rear wheel bearing, replace axle?

    This is the bearing design of the OE ones.

    Rear wheel bearing, replace axle?

    There’s no way imo for the axle to be damaged. I replaced my rear wheel bearings on my 02 a couple years ago. The bearings were like new. At 150k. There wasn’t any visible wear to any of the rollers period, nor axles, and these things are beefy. I replaced them with new OE. Just don’t get...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I’d say your maintenance is “lagging”. ;)

    Junkyard windshield

    Cheaper to buy a new windshield, those tools aren’t cheap. The complete setup a guy needs to remove and reset them costs a couple thousand at the low end. At that point you might as well go into business. Pretty sure I mentioned it, but there are YT videos of guys replacing urethane windshields...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I have Interstate AGM’s and haven’t had an issue in the cold although last week when it was 15* for a few days I noticed my 02 struggled to turn over. I plugged in the block heater and the next day it started right up so I’m guessing it was just the extra effort to turn over the old iron when...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Yeah I’m not feedin a small army like you are. If I was ever to lose it long enough for food to go bad,, it would be about fifty bucks worth between my freezer and fridge. But I have never been without power for more than a few hours, power company dude said I’m on a great feeder line...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Damn storm came back with a vengeance last night, freezing rain hard and the wind blowing at about 50 with gusts higher. I knew power was going to go, I could see transformers blowing up as far as I could see from the second story. But luckily I’m on the same circuit as a care facility nearby...

    How much extra power can one make without unwanted wear?

    Make sure you know absolutely what you’re doing with HPT if you go that route. There’s plenty of people that have destroyed both transmissions as well as engines by tuning them. One bad mistake and it’s over, all it takes is a couple “small” changes in the tune.

    Rocket Man's 02 Denali Build Thread AKA "THE BEAST"

    Yeah I’m not interested in that much power for a daily. I have a hard enough time keeping fuel in the tank as it is. Do a build thread on it when you do, there’s only a few 1000 hp SUV’s here.

    Rocket Man's 02 Denali Build Thread AKA "THE BEAST"

    You’re gonna make the 950-2000 hp that system is designed for? Fir me, I’d spend some of that money where needed- bigger injectors. Besides a bigger pump, I’d need to pull the blower to install bigger injectors since Whipple doesn’t let you do that without pulling it and that’s a real PIA. And...

    The Bose add an amp nightmare

    I have yet to see an android unit get great reviews, it seems it’s always “ it’s close but needs improvement “. I only see cheap Chinese no-name companies making them too. It seems if android was a good way to go for car stereo the major players like Pioneer and the others would embrace it and...

    The Bose add an amp nightmare

    Oh yeah I forgot there’s a lower level Bose system too. I have the Lux system in my 02 but I went with a Pioneer HU and left the Bose Lux amp running all the speakers ( I replaced those with aftermarket) except the sub which has its own amp running off the sub out on the head unit. I call it a...

    The Bose add an amp nightmare

    I don’t believe there is a line out signal to the Bose amp, at least not one that can be used without some sort of converter since Bose uses proprietary systems that don’t always work well with others, like aftermarket stuff does. Thus why most people swap out the head unit. Not only do you get...

    Cold Air Intake (CAI) on 2013 6.2L - worth doing?

    Wha? Why would you ring me about ANYTHING related to MPG? I’m running a cam, blower, headers, etc and lowering was done to improve looks and handling. I get about 8 mpg depending on how I drive, I can get a 10mpg average if I stay off the pedal long enough but I don’t and I don’t care...

    How much extra power can one make without unwanted wear?

    Replace the crappy-design fluid-filled motor mounts with solid rubber ones fron a Hummer H2 which are a solid RUBBER design like the previous generation or solid POLY from Atomic Fab (hard plastic design which is rougher at idle) and you can go ahead and install not only that tune and exhaust...

    The Bose add an amp nightmare

    Multimeters are $15. If you’re going to work on electrical, you’re an idiot for not buying one before you come onto a public forum and sound like an idiot. Thats all I have to say. I really can’t believe anyone would want to help after reading that first post. Jeezus. Made me feel angry. Such...
