    2002 z71 Tahoe - Swapping in 4L80e and NP246HD...Questions

    Hey all. I had a thread going about a year ago about swapping in a 6.0/4l80e/manual shift NP261 t-case. That idea got dumped when I decided to sell the 6.0 and the transfer case. Now I've got the 80e sitting in my garage and my 60e is slowing dying. I'd put the 80e in without a hitch if the...

    Well, life's gotten too busy and this project ain't never gonna happen. Looking to sell the entire setup if anyone is interested. I don't have enough posts to make an official FS thread so contact me if you're lookin. I've got everything needed for the swap - engine, trans, t case, wiring, ecu...

    ...and that's exactly why the 4L80e is going in. Haha

    Nice color! I was in line to look at one very similar to yours before I landed the white one. It had similar miles, was garage kept, lady driven, etc. They were asking $6200 if I recall. I like the idea of the 6.0 too. We have an LS2 in my wife's 9-7x Aero so I'll always envy the go pedal on...

    Ok, new plans to add to my project: I also pulled the hydroboost master cylinder off the 2500 before it rolled out this weekend. Hooray for better braking and a better feeling pedal. I'm glad I decided to do this as it's a straightforward swap. Nothing more to update, just adding this to my...

    How many miles do you have?

    2002 Tahoe Z71 - 2nd owner, 197,000. Original trans is currently dying so in goes a 6.0L lq4, 4L80 and floor shift t case... Hoping for at least another 100k out of it. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    The main reason for switching to an entire HD driveline rather than rebuilding a 4L60e trans... Going to be a weekend warrior towing this baby. Dry weight is just under 6,000lbs. I brought it home with my FIL's 2014 RAM 1500. Those things suck for towing, bouncy as hell. They ride like a car...

    Looks can be deceiving. The rear pass door is starting to come through from behind the plastics. Not sure how I'm going to tackle this yet. I'm thinking I'll just do some truck bed coating for the bottom few inches and paint it to match the best I can. Wire wheel things clean, POR 15 or Chassis...

    I plan on removing the entire front end besides the fenders. Still no chance it can be done as a unit? I really don't want to separate if I don't have to... My cherry picker won't go up and over the core support anyway so all of that has to move... Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    Not gonna be able to get that deep on the engine. My pockets aren't deep enough at the moment, lol. It ran very well when I bought the parts truck, drove flawlessly 200 miles home, hardly used half a tank with no exhaust, a cracked manifold, and knock sensor codes. Once those things are sorted...

    Alright, let's see if the photos work now. I updated all of the links to see if it changes things. Trans was acting up more this weekend. I've been driving it to work and back and around town but it's not been TOO bad. This weekend, I decided to take it out to my mom's place about 40 miles...

    Looks like the images aren't working in Tapatalk for some reason. Working fine in my chrome browser on Android... And on my PC. Not sure why?? Thanks for the kind words! Hoping things go smoothly. I'll be playing weekend warrior to get it done, and the weather sucks here (Michigan) so it'll be...

    Well, it's official, my trans is on it's way out the door. So instead of pulling it and having it rebuilt, I decided to buy an entire 2500HD pickup truck and swap the 6.0, 4L80e, and HD transfer case into my truck. While nothing spectacular has happened yet, I have managed to make all of my...

    So I had a few interesting things happen over the last week or so. First thing is this: When it dropped down to near freezing temps overnight, the truck struggled to start the following day. Cold start only, it would crank fine and get up to 1000rpms and then drop off and stall. Try...

    Thanks! What area? Anyone have any tips about my reverse noise? I'll upload a video I took today while shifting the trans around. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

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

    How'd you manage to trick someone into trading with you? I'd love to do the same for an HD hood but I figured no one wants to go from that to the stock one.

    Alright, so I have a chance to trade straight up for a set of NNBS LTZ 20's. My BIL is trading his 07 LTZ Suburban in on a brand new Tundra and told me if I wanted anything off the truck that would swap, I could do it. I'm very tempted to swap rims/tires with him. The only thing stopping me is...

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

    Just picked up my 02 Z71 Tahoe this past Monday. Ordered the blower resistor and replaced that last night. Inspected the blower motor while I was in there and it spun freely and didn't seem to have any hang ups. Everything under there looks new, not even dusty or dirty. I was really surprised at...

    Another update on this. I'm pretty sure my front diff bearings must be toast. I get a slight growl when it 4wd going down the road at normal speeds (40-50mph) and it seems the u-joints are tight from my inspection. I had my co-worker shifting it again for me today while I was holding onto the...

    Thanks for the comments. A little update on the trans mount noise. I noticed AFTER I drove it home of course that there was a decent clunk when I shifted from park to reverse or drive to reverse. Mainly when going into reverse from any gear. I believe I've narrowed it down to the front...

    Based on my quick observation, there is most definitely a sub there on mine. I don't know of it's Z71 specific or not but I put my ear up to the grill back there and I can hear the radio coming through it. Either it's under performing or my standards are higher than I thought, lol. PS: Here is...

    Thanks for the info on the running boards. After looking under there, I'd almost be afraid to remove mine. The pink welds there aren't rotted, but there is enough rust to tell me that it's probably a bad idea to go messing with something that feels pretty solid right now. I'll probably just seal...
