    Thinking of buying a 2005 tahoe

    I've been lucky with mine i'm approaching 200k miles on it not quite sure if they are Castech's as I never pulled the valve covers to check if they are then they are the better of the two heads from what I've read I have 862's vs the 706's!

    Thinking of buying a 2005 tahoe

    Just a quick note as I’m not sure where you are located but if you are in a rust belt state such as myself really inspect the under carriage of the vehicle for rust if you are not chances are the vehicle for the most part should be in pretty decent shape rust/rot wise dealers do a good job of...

    Gear ratio

    You can also contact GM with your VIN and ask for a build sheet they will gladly give you one that’s what I’ve done a few times before going to look at a vehicle just to see what they were equipped with coming out of the factory. you can email them as well [email protected]

    Worst years for Castech heads?

    Another Castech head question!I’m on the hunt for A NBS Z71 I’m looking at years 03-06 I prefer the higher gears in the 03/04’s as I want to run 33’s and almost all the ones after 04 I see have 3:42 gears though I’ve read the 05/06’s are the best of the NBS lot! my question is with the Castech...

    Thanks Ron you guys are great on here I’m sure I’ll be on again real soon as soon as I can track down another potential they are tough to come by but I’ll keep plugging away! I messaged the guy with the Tahoe telling him I’m passing on it after I got the car fax I’m yet to hear back from him...

    3:42’s BBP tune

    Wow thats clean ,I thought my Yukon was clean you would never find something that clean here in the Northeast!The Northeast kills these great Rigs with the rust. The Beltway of Doom for any vehicle they rust away before the engine fails!

    3:42’s BBP tune

    Yes indeed that is the problem with these Rigs in the Northeast the vehicles rustaway before they go mechanically I'm sure I have room to move on the price a bit any Rig I find here in the northeast are going to have some signs of rust somewhere I or I should say my bodyman will help me diagnose...
