    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    Thanks, this has me interested, the do it yourself option from lsdroid. I had not heard of this before, so I'll look into it.

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    Ok thanks for clarifying. If it was going to run but just not pass smog, or have some strange code that is nothing to worry about driveability wise, I could live with that. Thankfully I have it registered in a county that does not require smog checks. Having a home there has it's side...

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    If it is not flashed to my VIN, what happens? That's what I've been wondering about. I'm in Anaheim, CA.

    2003 Suburban EASIEST EFAN Swap Ever!!

    Quick question that's not addressed in any of the threads or videos I've seen for E-fan conversion. My 04 has two harness connectors with a bunch of wires attached in place where the 05-06 E-fan relay block is supposed to sit and clip in place. The relay block won't clip down or sit correctly...

    Thanks @iamdub, I'll try to track someone down around here for that option.

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    I'm in the home stretch with this 6.0 swap. Today I plan to replace the original 04 front clip wire harness that powers the headlights, turn signals, horns, washer pumps and all else, with a complete front clip wire harness that was removed from an 06 Yukon, so all necessary wiring &...

    Newbie to the forum/ 05 Escalade 5.3

    You'd be surprised how many 5.3 Esky's there are. I'd guess somewhere in the ~30% range of all Esky's produced. I base that on the ones I see funneling thru the local PYP's here in CA. Easiest way to ID them as someone said, they do not have the 3 piece engine cover, but instead have the std...

    Coolant Reservoir Clean Out

    You can sort of see it in this thread I have going...but it's not a close up or clear picture, since it's just background 'noise.' If you would like a better picture or from a different angle, let me know and I'll snap one...

    Coolant Reservoir Clean Out

    My Tahoe has rear A/C also, but I would suspect that the accumulator is the same for at least 03-06 and possibly 01-06 Tahoe Yukon Suburban Escalade....as long as they all have rear A/C. The factory original one on mine is in place as well. I'll bet your accumulator was replaced at some point...

    Coolant Reservoir Clean Out

    Thanks everyone for the replies and info. For the time being, I'll keep using my original one, since the rest of the 6.0 build is over budget. I'll replace it down the road once I'm back on the road. There are multiple chambers inside as you mentioned. Is there some combo of turning it...

    Coolant Reservoir Clean Out

    Thanks for all the replies here. Is there any problem with the cheap $30 Dorman replacement tank? I looked at OEM GM on RockAuto and it looks like the OEM part is ~$75. I've read that certain Dorman parts are a no no, like their coolant line T's for the heater core lines because they are...

    Coolant Reservoir Clean Out

    Is there any effective way to clean out the Coolant Reservoir of the brown stains from being 18 years old? I have it out of the Tahoe currently and tried hot water and Simple Green but none of the brown discoloration residue released from the walls of the reservoir? Anyone found an effective...

    Module on negative battery cable, 2006 Yukon

    I'll check if or when I go back to the yard with this Yukon.

    Module on negative battery cable, 2006 Yukon

    Thank you! I never knew the later year 800's had something like this.

    Module on negative battery cable, 2006 Yukon

    I've seen these a few times and wondered; "what is this?" It's on the negative battery cable on an 06 Yukon that I harvested the E-fan harness and relay/fuse block from recently. My 04 Tahoe does not have this. Thanks

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    Does it eventually happen to all 246 cases, or is it a "case by case" basis (pun intended)?

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    Thank you for that. That is the rear output, correct? I'm guessing disassembly of the T-case is required for the $20 anti pump rub plate to be installed. I'll be looking into this. Thanks again.

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    Recently, I picked up another big beefy piece of the puzzle for the Tahoe transformation, a 14B SF "AXN" rear axle from a crashed 06 Escalade 2wd that showed up locally. My original 10B rear axle is functional and quiet, but I figured why not...with the 6.0 swap and the factory spec-ing this...

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    Let's see some pics or description of gussy'd up engine compartments. I regret not painting the block now, but what's done is done. However, I've been considering spraying some paint color on the accessory bracket after seeing how much better a fresh coat of black paint on the balancer...

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    Been having a harder time lately finding time to dedicate to the reassembly, but finally had a free afternoon to get after it. Working on the reassembly today and have a few tech questions, from deep in the weeds. I've seen two different style exhaust manifold bolts, 1 with a smaller head...

    Renamed: 06 Esky LS364/450 Build (New Leather Seat covers)

    This one is found on an 05 Chevy Trailblazer / GMC Envoy with a LH6 5.3 as mentioned when first discussed. The only other vehicle I've heard this manifold was used on is a Chevy SSR, but never seen one to confirm it. From what I've read a lot of the improvement when swapping to a TBSS/NNBS...

    Renamed: 06 Esky LS364/450 Build (New Leather Seat covers)

    Finally found one of these hen's teeth intake manifold. Now that I have it in hand, I put it next to my 04 truck manifold and see there are a few small differences between the 87mm TB version of truck manifold and the 04 truck manifold, such as which vacuum ports are plugged and which are open...
