    2004-2007 instrument cluster swap

    Do you have the 140 mph speedo? Where did you purchase it and do you happen to have a part number? Thanks in advance

    2004-2007 instrument cluster swap

    Is it possible to swap out my 2004 cluster with a 2007 140mph police interceptor cluster?

    Engine cooling problem

    My 04 LT 5.3L starts to overheat when it sits at idle with the A/C on. The only thing I’ve done so far is I installed a dual electric fans that pull a lot more air than the stock manual fan but even with this it still climbs in temperature. The only thing that I have changed to the cooling...

    Major oil loss

    Here’s a video of what my Tahoe sounds like after we finally got it tuned correctly. Took about 5 hours to tune.

    Major oil loss

    Yeah me too. But I would’ve noticed it when I backed out. I’m at a total loss on this and I really need to figure out where this oil is going. I use only Mobile one so it’s really expensive for an adding a extra 4 quarts. I just got back from about a 400 mile trip for Thanksgiving day and really...

    Major oil loss

    And yes that’s a new built transmission. 4L70E. 5 plantary gear sets corvette servo bigger boost valve and a high performance Sonnax output shaft since the last build I blew out the output shaft on launching. I guess too much weight to horsepower

    Major oil loss

    Coolant is good. Compression is an average of about 185 per cylinder. The oil filter is a good idea but like others have said that the underside would be coated in oil. Just to show that I’m not bullshitting here is a picture of the underside of the Tahoe. I honestly think it’s either going out...

    Major oil loss

    Major oil loss

    Yeah I know I avoided a major problem.Oil pressure is nearly 40 psi at idle. It’s running fine. I haven’t checked the plugs yet but that’s a good idea. I’ve never changed the pvc. I believe it’s built in to the valve cover. You think maybe that’s where it’s going? After reading your reply I saw...

    Major oil loss

    I’m sure this has been discussed before but I wanted to start a new post because my situation I believe is unique. 2004 Tahoe 5.3L with CNC ported 799 heads Ok so I just changed my oil approximately 500 miles ago. So I’m planning on driving a total of 4 hours tomorrow so I decided to give the...

    Coolant bypass hose?

    Other than not heating the throttle body, if I block off the coolant bypass ports will it hurt anything else? I live in Oklahoma and it doesn’t get cold enough for the throttle body to be heated. The metal hose is leaking and it’s cheaper for me to block them off than buying a new metal hose...

    5.3L lean backfire?

    Really wow thanks for the advice.

    5.3L lean backfire?

    I have a 57’ Chevy pickup with a 5.3L swap and converted to carburetor with the Edlebrock intake and MSD 6014 control box. It’s got flattop pistons and a Howard’s cam .555 lift 267/276 duration. I’m having a backfire when I floor it from a stop. Holley says it a lean backfire. So they suggest...

    Supercharger or Turbo?

    Here’s some more pictures of what I’ve been working on.

    Supercharger or Turbo?

    Well I decided to go a completely different route. Being that the Tahoe is my DD I’ve decided not to do anything else. Recently I just blew up my built 4L75E which was really frustrating. If I add a charger or turbo I’d have to make some major changes to the driveline and for me this just isn’t...

    16 volts charging 2004 Tahoe LT 5.3L flex fuel

    I measured the alternator voltage at idle and it’s around 16 volts. Should I be concerned? I always thought that normal is around 14 volts charging. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks

    Can you ID?

    Hey thanks again. I was able to contact PML and they identified the rear axle as a GM 55T. This really helps me because even though the parts are hard to find at least I know what I’m looking for.

    Can you ID?

    Ok thanks. I thought maybe a 50’s era GM tri-five but I have no idea but I really need to know what type of rear axle this is and if it’s strong enough for my project. I’m doing a LS swap (5.3L) cammed up and carbureated with a TH-350 transmission in a 57’ Chevy truck. Now it’s possible that...

    Can you ID?

    It has a six lug nut style for the wheels

    Can you ID?

    Can anyone help me identify this rear axle? I know that it’s a banjo style. At first I thought it was a Ford 9” but now I know that it’s not. Any ideas
