    05-06 Cadillac Escalade Platinum seats retrofit to Tahoe

    Took care of the ~$100 airbag problem. A little disassembly and ended up with the only part that was important to me for $11. The whole airbag assy comes apart very easily. I was working gingerly as I wasn't sure if it was going to go off or what.

    05-06 Cadillac Escalade Platinum seats retrofit to Tahoe

    And a dovetail question about the Escalade Platinum concerning interior color. One of the passenger side dash vents that came home is missing one of the horizontal flaps. Is the interior & dash color unique only to the Escalade Platinum? All the other dash vents in other rigs at the yard I...

    05-06 Cadillac Escalade Platinum seats retrofit to Tahoe

    So a Caddy Escalade Platinum recently showed up in a local Pick your Part. I've scavenged a few bits and pieces from it already, other sought after parts(door panels, cluster) were already gone by the time I got to it. The heated and cooled seats are still there along with the dash switch to...

    14 bolt rear end swap?

    If you get an AXN rear axle from an 05-06 Escalade, there is no assortment or gear ratio. They are all 3.73:1 gear. I have one sitting on the ground waiting to go in a Tahoe and they're kinda rare in the GMT800 vehicles. 2wd Escalade 6.0 Only.

    Flex Fuel

    There is definitely a mileage hit with E85. I've seen it ~30%+- lower fuel mileage. However it still makes sense and pencils out with the huge gap in price.

    Flex Fuel

    Except here in CA, where the bureaucRATS running the state are making more on a gallon of gas than any 'evil' oil company, ripping us all off as Gavin Newscum said. The thing is, that RAT Gavin and his merry band of Commies are the ones doing the ripping off. I have two flex fuel vehicles and...

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    Thank you all for commenting and providing .02 cents. Let me clarify, I plan to have it tuned by a dyno shop pro at some point in the future. I was hoping it would run well enough in the mean time so I could drive it to the trans shop for a rebuild and then drive to the dyno guy as well. The...

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    Yesterday I drove the Tahoe for the first time but had to cut it short due to an idle issue it's having. On first start up when cold, it idles well. It seems like once it warms a bit(not at full operating temp) and goes into closed loop I'd assume, the idle deteriorates and if you blip the...

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    Thanks Rocket Man for the suggestion. As it turns out, right about the time that you posted that reply, I pulled a spare Escalade cluster that I have(I pick them up from local PYP's when I find them and sell on the side) and installed it in the Tahoe. As soon as I turned the key to On...

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    Thank you for the reply. From the research I've done, it's not clear that a VATS Passlock reset is necessary. In your opinion, is it necessary to relearn since the PCM and battery were removed for a year? I did find the relearn process you mentioned and it's how you said, about 30 minutes...

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    Picture for attention, nothing too exciting visually, just a typical engine compartment, but look at the cyl head casting # and that's where the excitement is. Fast fwd 3 months and it's all back together and in the Tahoe now. I have everything put back together, no extra leftover parts or...

    Intake tube differences Silverado v SUV v Model Year

    Ahh, that makes that the extra passive chambers would quiet down the intake throatyness. Thanks I didn't think of that as the reasoning for it. Anyone else second that thought and rationale?

    Intake tube differences Silverado v SUV v Model Year

    Recently I noticed there are differences between the factory intake tubes on certain model years and models of GMT800 trucks & SUVs. By intake tube I mean the hard plastic portion between the mass air flow sensor/airbox and the throttle body. It seems like mostly the trucks received a smaller...

    AC blows warm when stopped

    Sorry I am not able to change the tune. But there are a few options in our local area that can.

    AC blows warm when stopped

    Another option is to change your fan style to the 05-06 electric fans. They drop right in place of the stock shroud and the factory wire harness and controller for them can be retrofitted to your 03. After that all it takes is an ECM tuner to turn on the fan control in your factory ECM. If...

    Actually selling it.....Pulled

    My .02 from my sector of the country, Socal. In Socal this would be a $$low teen's rig and would probably sell for that much. If I saw something like this for $4-6 I would buy it in an instant, drive it a while and then flip it for an easy double the money. I think the value of this Tahoe is...

    Thank you both for the info. I looked and looked for the "vendor section" but didn't find a Vendor section or forum, other than the RockAuto sub-forum. Then I found your post OR VietVet in The Lounge and located the discount code. Thanks again...

    Engine Bay Dress UP

    Interesting that those are stock covers, just with paint. I'm guessing those must be on your '16 or '18, as they are not stock on an 01-06 NBS rig. I like the look of those too and wonder if they'd work without modification on an earlier engine. I'm guessing m1949 was looking for coil hiding...

    Recognize these headers

    Anyone recognize these headers? There are no mfg identifying names or marks on them. the only #'s on them are 115 on one flange, and the other side has 116 stamped in the flange. They came off an early 00-01 5.3 engine, which had all these exhaust system ports on the manifolds for possibly the...

    2003 Suburban EASIEST EFAN Swap Ever!!

    I figured out what the unknown wiring is. At first I thought it was for Flex Fuel stuff because I was only seeing it on "Z" engined vehicles at the yard yesterday, but then I saw it on a "T" engined vehicle so that idea was out. The 2 plugs occupying that space are for the Autotrac transfer...

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    Thanks for the info. I didn't know that's how it works, that once a VIN is licensed it can be repeatedly tuned for no additional. Perhaps it's time to have this conversation with the dyno guy that quoted me already for a full tune. Thanks
