2004 6.0 NV4500 Tahoe

[Rocket Man]

we're built different down here

It’s called younger. Wait till you hit 60. Sh*t gets a bit more difficult.

I have been getting stuff done around the house though but it’s cold outside this time of year and I spent my whole life working outside in it. There’s nothing like hanging on the side of a skyscraper 200’ up in a swing stage and the fog is freezing into flakes and floating upward past you while you’re handling a 500 lb piece of glass being held up by suction cups and a guy on the top of the building running the winch, hoping he hears you on the radio when you say “STOP” so you don’t end up dropping the whole shebang onto the streets below. I mean, we would close the sidewalk right below us but if you drop anything from that high it can travel.
So I guess I’m ok with staying inside and working on stuff

this winter.

I didn't really do jack shit all weekend. Had a couple little fun runs in the ctsv:


Friday night after leaving track had some sort of ls swapped 2000ish 3 series bimmer pretty hopped up open header 6speed pretty sure no forced induction but I was behind. followed thru the back roads at a pretty high rate of speed. Hung prob 5 or 6 cars behind him he tried to run away a few times but depending who hit it first I would slowly pull up on him or he would slowly pull away lol. Follow out to two lane pulled up beside and yelled at each still rolling a little and thumbs up.

Last night I was sorta minding my own business but I still drive a little faster than normal traffic. Made my way thru a few cars and cruised it was dark but had some sort of charger/challenger following, wasn't sure if it was an under cover so I was only speeding a little, clear road, he pulled up next to me and paced me for a few, seriously was just going to let him go on by. But then he wanted to slam it down and "let me hear" his exhaust...that didn't sit well with me so I put about 3 bus lengths on him 65-100+ and threw the hazards on for him. Widebody v8, Def not a hellcat, felt kinda bad doin him so dirty but it was his own fault

Couple more little i95 runs, I only really **** around when there's no traffic and slow down way before I have to if I do come up on traffic

That red must really attract attention! I wish more people were down to race by me, I guess I'm too close to the villages.

Does the caddy hook pretty good on street rolls?

Boy, do I have a tire suggestion for you!

The 555r2 come highly recommended from a dude with a badass denali. I reckon if it worked for him, it should work for you

I'm a bit south on the Northwest shore of Lake Apopka, but the town of Mount Dora is right down the road and old people love that place so they come down on the weekends in droves.

That's what I figured, probably no way to leave a light ******* the street.

I was scared too. Then he reminded me that, I too, ain't no *****

But seriously, I am happy I went that route. It was the perfect solution for me

I agree, I’ll see how she goes for a few weeks or more, not gonna need one in the RCSB for awhile anyway.

I do not, it was actually swapped already when I bought it. I can send you pics of anything you want tho.

Thanks man. No worries. I think it’s pretty well documented here somewhere, I just need to research.

Not to change subjects but anyone looking for a free rear sway bar upgrade? My new H2 axle has an H2 bar which is an upgrade from the regular SUVs and is free to a good home.

 

[Rocket Man]

You gonna sparkle that diff?

 

[Dantheman1540]

Ya god dang right I am!

The plan is cut everything off the other axle and weld it on this one with a plasma torch, re powder the beefy diff cover to my sparkly goodness (aka diamond dust). Put the old calipers off the front of the Tahoe with the power stop pads but get new H2 rotors. Gotta buy the pigtail that plugs into the electronic locker, a lube locker gasket, and gear oil, then finally paint it all blaccckkkk with cheap tractor paint/chassis saver.

Any chance it'll fit a '900?

It should fit right up just like the AXN 9.5sf but you gotta go 8 lug or use conversion adapters and this axle is already a tad wider.
H2 axle is 70 7/8"
NNBS 10B is 68.5 (IIGC)


***EDIT*** I should also add that I believe the H2 locker could be inserted into the NNBS 9.5sf 14b without any issue. My source is that the same carrier for an H2 is listed as fitting NNBS rear axles. https://www.randysworldwide.com/shop/yc-g40013506

I meant the sway bar, sugar britches.

Oh idk you want measurements? Or want to just take the damn thing and test lol

Measurements might be good enough! Actually, I'll need to know the measurements regardless. We'd be taking Jenn's car to Florida and, between all three of us and luggage, we might not have room.

No rush, but I guess the easiest way would be to sketch it up and write the measurements. What's the significance over a regular Suburban/XL bar? Is it solid? Bigger OD?

It’s bigger diameter for sure, looks the same as my hellwigs and I can get a side By side shot of it next to the rear hellwig because I broke an endlink pulling the amazon van out 2 weeks ago and have it removed lol.
