    Progress from yesterday I forgot to take pics of. Got all the damaged core support and junk out, frame has such little damage I got real lucky with this one. Prob gonna hammer it back and weld it up to look normal. Debating on if I should buy a nice all aluminum radiator or just OEM...

    Oh yeah I got it all! The grill guard is aluminum which is sweet because I’ll actually put it on since it doesn’t weigh 200#, needs paint tho. The fogs are in good shape, as was their harness, but I will likely replace them with some aftermarket amber street legal fogs that don’t blind people...

    Turns out my buddy and I are color blind. I spent 3 hours crawling around in the dirt pulling all the parts off the Tahoe only to find it’s a slightly lighter color gold. Not sure how we missed that but oh well, the parts are straight and it’s close enough for now. Also got the new/recycled...

    Just went and looked at the parts Tahoe and added parts to the list. I’m getting everything in the front, I mean everything I want he said and since it runs and drives I’ll actually probably take the radiator and whatnot just for initial rebuild. Also getting powered leather seats, color...

    Just verified yes it’s 100% a 9.5 which I’m happy with! I have a powder coated diff cover that will find its way in as soon as the truck is moveable under its own power lol. Didn’t realize brakes sucked so bad, might very well have a shop do them. I don’t really care if the truck looks dumb...

    I hope it has the 9.5, I can’t imagine I’d ever hurt a 9.5 with 250hp and I already have parts for them. My goal is to have a mostly stock tow rig, I figure the 5.7 with small tires and the 4.10s should pull a standard car hauler trailer with another car or truck on it fine. Florida is flat...

    I’m sure I’ll be spending lots of monies over at LMC! These trucks do appear almost easier to work on than GMT800 stuff. I actually just started a thread over at GMT400 as well I just didn’t expect it to be alive, boy was I wrong! I haven’t axle swapped anything on this truck yet. According to...

    More pics First mods going to be putting some 255/75/17” MTs that were on my ranger on these 2007ish ram power wagon wheels I’ve had for a few years and onto the truck with the factory GMC caps. Then tomorrow I’m going to look at and buy the front end repair parts I need off this 99 Tahoe that...

    Ok ban me if you don’t want this here, but I’ve missed all you butt lickers and this involves a Tahoe for some bit of it. Anyway this is my new to me and free 1996 GMC2500 4x4, 5.7, 4l80e, ECSB. My uncle wrecked it into a palm tree in his driveway 5 years ago and just recently kicked the bucket...

    And don’t say “it’s just .2” because I’d kill for another .2”

    Atleast the ranger has something bigger than an 8.6 in it.

    Glad to see you didn’t die yet either! I haven’t done a thing to it like I said I would, but the G80 did try to kill me today. Instead of not locking like it normally would, it locked, then unlocked unexpectedly in the middle of some hard cornering. Wouldn’t have guessed it would do much...

    You’re very right, however, the Mrs said I need to put love into the Tahoe and start driving it again because she refuses to do a 3 hour trip in the ranger again lol.

    Guess I never updated this, the AC issue ended up being a bad pin in the pigtail going to the pressure sensor. That’s been fixed and it’s had no AC issues. I did start having horrible REP issues again and swapped the little black control box on the firewall with a known good one and I think it’s...
