    6.2 engine problems

    I think the harsher the EPA rules the worse quality we are going to see...probably from all manufacturers.

    Feel like a kid on chrismas

    Welcome from NJ. Your truck is going to be a fun build. I'm at 550HP with a Whipple supercharger and some supporting mods but the the most important part of this is, like other have said, your driveline. The rear end (and front differential) transfer case, transmission, your drive shaft, and...

    SC vs Full Engine Build

    I wish I did. Its been street tuned. It feels faster than my Trans Am which is an LS1 6 speed with FBO and a tune. I dragged the TA many years ago and went 13.8 at 101 baby-ing the clutch at launch and that was dynoed with 360 at the tire. Based on that, the Burb has to be putting over 400+...

    Seat covers 2021 yukon

    I've always been partial to covercraft. I had a set of the "crushed velor/wannbe suede" over cloth seats in my 08 avalanche and put the same in my 17 burb. Been very happy with them. Super durable, easy to clean, and custom colored (black sides with silver down the middle). They have a...

    6.2 Motor Mount Saver?

    I have them in my truck.. I purchased them directly from Atomic Fabrication (AF Motor mounts) I ordered the 1/2" lower kit so I can't speak for the standard height ones, but assuming they are the same. Quality is OUTSTANDING. Even my mechanic was like "wow" and he's got a 68 Nova he's been...

    Supercharger

    I have a Whipple on my L83 but that is the K2XX platform (last gen). If you have a 2021+ that is T1XX platform. Whipple includes a hand held tuner that works with global B in their package. Call them and speak with them. Their tech support is really good. If you want to buy a cheaper...

    Torque Converter replacement now or later

    I swapped out the TC on my '17 Burb at 20k miles for a Circle D triple disc. I swear its the only reason my transmissions has not blown up considering all the abuse its taken. But Circle D, Yank, TCi or any other reputable TC will be fine. Take your truck to dealership and see if there are...

    LY6 to L96

    Not sure if your end goal is to have a LOT more power, freshen up whats in your truck, or just have some extra grunt to tow. However, I had an 08 Avalanche with the Gen 4 5.3 and I used an Edge Programmer. that I had mounted on my dashboard. Obviously not as potent as HP tuners but I could...

    I went with MightyMouse. Yes more money - quality product, all peices included and good instructions. They have 2 or 3 flavors so you can get what you need. I bought an extreme but thats cause of the blower.

    Best VIN check site? Carfax worth it (or alternatives)?

    I've used CompNine's VIN decoder in the past - works well. But no history report on the car like CarFax

    High Output Alternator and Big 3 Question (Answered)

    One correction - i was going from my recall and went out to grab some pics. The main ground from the batt goes thru the rfc and ground on the alternator not the frame. That was the original location I believe. Apologies for that. Also since the K2XX has that giant distribution block on top...

    High Output Alternator and Big 3 Question (Answered)

    Mechman specifies that when you order. I told them my truck was modified and then they started asking more questions. They also stated that should I upgrade the motor to turn more revs than factory (e.g. rev the 5.3 to 7k+ rpm) that I would need to ship them back the alternator to put a...

    High Output Alternator and Big 3 Question (Answered)

    I have a Mechman 400amp in my truck. Tony is a bit of a jerk - i had multiple emails with him as well. Our trucks are a little different because of the added electronics on the later generations, but here is what I did. I DID REPLACE Alt to Battery cable with a 0 gauge cable without a fuse...

    AFM! Good? Bad? Here is a lot of research

    LOL Reminds me of my 86 Chevy Celebrity. Paid $800 for it. Beat it to death for 2 years. Sold for $800...plus made $1800 when I T-***** someone with it cause they made a right turn from the left lane in front of me.

    When is it not worth it to repair?

    You realize that if a lifter lets loose, it may not just be a lifter or a wiped out cam that you need to replace. There's the potential that it can break a valve, drop it in the cylinder and potentially cause more catastrophic damage. I am not saying that is the norm, but it has happened more...

    Anybody lower a 4WD?

    I WISH i had 4wd now. Would come in handy during those rainy autocross events Take a look at DJM suspension for lowering components. Don't go the 'dropped spindle' route. Their customer service is meh, but their parts are rock solid. Eventually when its time to replace stuff (again) I am...
