Say goodbye to the old snowflakes, and hello to the new 17” stock hotness!!!

here’s the old 17” snowflakes.

Here are the “new” stock 17” rims with Cooper AT/3 4S.

(Pics of them on after I get back from orielly. Grabbing a ball joint for the passenger side.)

A few hours of wrenching and a couple dollars in the swear jar later!

this little Effer broke and cost a bunch of time..

And complete!! Stock hotness!

My ‘09 2LT 4X4 has the 6L80

Welcome to the group Chris! I am in Sterling Heights and have a GMT400 that is sold but still in my driveway waiting for some wrenching, and my new prize (besides the V) is a 2018 Tahoe PPV 4WD w 72k!

I have a bunch of extra stock and upgrade parts as well as PPV rims and tires I need to sell. Either way we should get together so we can get you all straightened out. Shoot me a PM and I'll send you my cell#

Nice to meet you Jmm! Nice score on the ‘18! Definitely interested in what you may have available. Specifically Looking for DIC buttons, and maybe a Range AFM delete. My goal is more longevity/reliability than go fast.... for now anyway!

That build date explains it.

I was going to buy a super clean '09 with only 49k miles, but was a PROD date of 5/09.......it had the 4L60.

Nice looking machine. Looks more civilian than mine, I just picked one up and it's got the steel wheels and roof rack delete.

Hey there! I’m happy with the rims so far! Nothing special. The Bui is an 04 LeSabre custom.

Been noticing what I think is a lifter tick on some cold starts. Not all the time. We had some -20F mornings and it was not present.

I’m trying to correlate it to something. Like did it get to full OT last drive of the day before parking overnight, or was I doing a lot of highway driving where the AFM would have been kicking in more presumably?

I ordered a Range Disabler to hold me over until Springtime when I can do a cam/lifter swap and tune. Leaning towards a Brian Tooley kit. Might wind up boosting in the summer.

Only on my second oil change with Mobil 1 advanced full synthetic, extended performance, high mileage 5w30 since taking ownership.

What kind of fi are you thinking about?

 

[Chris Z]

What kind of fi are you thinking about?

I’ll be honest. My big bro is the boost junkie, lol. I’ll probably run whatever he tells me as he’s far more knowledgeable than I.

With my limited knowledge and vocabulary, I’m thinking single turbo setup under 15lbs. Nothing fancy, probably just a Chinese GT45.

Going for the budget boost lol.
