    Trans shift improvement kit?

    Hey it happens! I am glad to see a new member getting an opportunity to learn. Most of what is on TV is just not true. It's kinda crazy when you think about it....but anyways. There are a lot of trustworthy folks here. Good on you for replying back and taking the moment to learn. That is the...

    Heater core hose to water pump

    Does this help? It says it's an 01, but I would be really surprised if they are different than any other year of this gen.

    My From Start to Finish 6.0L Build

    @RAMurphy - That is a really nice setup. The way you are describing the fan operation and percentages is exactly how my OEM setup works on my 2004. I did the rebuilt oem fan harness route and copied efan settings from a 2005 and pasted them into my tune via HP Tuners. I just wanted you to know...

    2wd to 4wd conversion.

    Keep us updated. Sounds like you have some good options though. It can be nice to have a vehicle you don't mind getting rusted out / torn up....less stress. Side story - my two best friends and I drove to the Grand Canyon in 2007 in a 1996 suburban just like that, same color and everything. It...

    2wd to 4wd conversion.

    Yes it's going to need a different output shaft and tail housing. Pretty easy on a 4l60e.

    2wd to 4wd conversion.

    If I was doing this - I would not be putting in an independent front suspension in. I'd do a solid front axle. It legitimately might be easier to accomplish as well. Way better 4wd capabilities as well for the work you are going to put in. I would suggest contacting Barnes 4wd. They specialize...

    What he is doing even on a well used one is absolutely no sweat for them. Yay LS engine!

    Engine oil life indicator--reliable?

    Mine is usually at 30% when I hit 5k miles and change it. Work is only 2.9miles away. I use Euro Blend Quaker State 5-40w, it's a light 40w and has been good for me here in Tx.

    I got ya. I would have likely done the same. Depending on the state and how they deal with salvage titles....it can easily make it not worth it.

    My From Start to Finish 6.0L Build

    I am an insurance guy so I am just curious. Not trying to pry! I am a Texas agent - 12 years in. Did you buy it back from the ins company? Or maybe you just cancelled the claim. Even though the used car market is nuts - the ins company is obligated to give you enough to buy the same model...

    Difference between 2000-2003 and 2004 - 2006 +10hp 5.3 LM7 L59

    I thought I read the main difference for the power was that the LM7 did not have a separate high and low octane table in the tuning. The L59's high octane table had more aggressive timing......and that is where the power increase is from. But only if it determined you put premium in it (it...

    Electric fan swap. Got a few questions

    Very good youtube explanation below. I used OEM fans and an OEM harness that had been reworked by ScottyBoy. He is on this site and was awesome to purchase from. You will have to reach out to him to see if he still does that (if you want to use OEM harness). I bought HP Tuners and did the...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I was going to ask the same thing since all the kits I found only had one end terminated. Thank you, I think one of my friends has a bat cable crimper.

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    That's exactly what my bad front wheel bearing was doing. Only heard it when turning. I replaced both.

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I changed my front and rear diff oil. I wish I would have researched on how to shim the ring and pinion before doing the rear, it's got more backlash than I like....although I don't know if it's even worth doing that on a worn set. It's got enough backlash that I sometimes hear / feel a bump in...
