    Trans shift improvement kit?

    Hey it happens! I am glad to see a new member getting an opportunity to learn. Most of what is on TV is just not true. It's kinda crazy when you think about it....but anyways. There are a lot of trustworthy folks here. Good on you for replying back and taking the moment to learn. That is the...

    Heater core hose to water pump

    Does this help? It says it's an 01, but I would be really surprised if they are different than any other year of this gen.

    My From Start to Finish 6.0L Build

    @RAMurphy - That is a really nice setup. The way you are describing the fan operation and percentages is exactly how my OEM setup works on my 2004. I did the rebuilt oem fan harness route and copied efan settings from a 2005 and pasted them into my tune via HP Tuners. I just wanted you to know...

    2wd to 4wd conversion.

    Keep us updated. Sounds like you have some good options though. It can be nice to have a vehicle you don't mind getting rusted out / torn up....less stress. Side story - my two best friends and I drove to the Grand Canyon in 2007 in a 1996 suburban just like that, same color and everything. It...

    2wd to 4wd conversion.

    Yes it's going to need a different output shaft and tail housing. Pretty easy on a 4l60e.

    2wd to 4wd conversion.

    If I was doing this - I would not be putting in an independent front suspension in. I'd do a solid front axle. It legitimately might be easier to accomplish as well. Way better 4wd capabilities as well for the work you are going to put in. I would suggest contacting Barnes 4wd. They specialize...

    Engine oil life indicator--reliable?

    What he is doing even on a well used one is absolutely no sweat for them. Yay LS engine!

    Engine oil life indicator--reliable?

    Mine is usually at 30% when I hit 5k miles and change it. Work is only 2.9miles away. I use Euro Blend Quaker State 5-40w, it's a light 40w and has been good for me here in Tx.

    My From Start to Finish 6.0L Build

    I got ya. I would have likely done the same. Depending on the state and how they deal with salvage titles....it can easily make it not worth it.

    My From Start to Finish 6.0L Build

    I am an insurance guy so I am just curious. Not trying to pry! I am a Texas agent - 12 years in. Did you buy it back from the ins company? Or maybe you just cancelled the claim. Even though the used car market is nuts - the ins company is obligated to give you enough to buy the same model...

    Difference between 2000-2003 and 2004 - 2006 +10hp 5.3 LM7 L59

    I thought I read the main difference for the power was that the LM7 did not have a separate high and low octane table in the tuning. The L59's high octane table had more aggressive timing......and that is where the power increase is from. But only if it determined you put premium in it (it...

    Electric fan swap. Got a few questions

    Very good youtube explanation below. I used OEM fans and an OEM harness that had been reworked by ScottyBoy. He is on this site and was awesome to purchase from. You will have to reach out to him to see if he still does that (if you want to use OEM harness). I bought HP Tuners and did the...

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

    I was going to ask the same thing since all the kits I found only had one end terminated. Thank you, I think one of my friends has a bat cable crimper.

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

    That's exactly what my bad front wheel bearing was doing. Only heard it when turning. I replaced both.

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

    I changed my front and rear diff oil. I wish I would have researched on how to shim the ring and pinion before doing the rear, it's got more backlash than I like....although I don't know if it's even worth doing that on a worn set. It's got enough backlash that I sometimes hear / feel a bump in...

    Rocket Man's 02 Denali Build Thread AKA "THE BEAST"

    @Rocket Man - Any updates on finding a jetboat?? I always had a bike (or three) of some sort from 7 years old till 31 years old. Never thought I would be content without one, but it's been two years since I sold my last bike and I really don't miss it.

    2004 z71/Warning on Cerakote plastic trim coat

    I hadn't even considered that....man that would make sense for why there are so many folks on Amazon that have had the same issue. Damn. Thanks Rocket Man, I will try contacting the manufacturer as I do have the original packaging. Maybe cerekote could confirm it that is their product.

    Just Fishing's 09 Tahoe Build thread

    Ah ok I see now. I was misreading some of that. Thanks for clearing it up. I hope the crank is fine as well, for a bunch of reasons. But if you can just roll a new bearing in, it would be interesting to see if a blocked trans cooler could wipe a thrust bearing out that quick. Looking forward to...

    2004 z71/Warning on Cerakote plastic trim coat

    Thanks I will give it a try if/when I can get this stuff off. I actually had the chemical guys one in my cart to try, but I bought the cerakote instead, ooof. Wish I would have gone with the chemical guys in the first place. Splotchy, streaky, not black but grey-ish. It looks bad. A lot of the...

    2004 z71/Warning on Cerakote plastic trim coat

    At the minimum test this stuff on a small part of your plastic before doing all the plastic flares, steps, ect on the vehicle. I bought this for my z71 fender flares back in May and just got around to applying it over the weekend. I don't ever make threads to bash products but damn I have some...

    Just Fishing's 09 Tahoe Build thread

    Dang I was hoping you got the issue solved.....so you have a new thrust bearing in and it's still making metal?

    Just Fishing's 09 Tahoe Build thread

    Are you going to check the thrust bearing or just look for metal in the oil filter?

    Too much CV angle?

    Thanks for updating, man I was going to do a lift as well but was worried because I couldn't find a diff drop for these either so I never committed to the lift....if you find one let us know because I would be interested.

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

    Can anyone help me find the factory hardware for the 2005 -06 electric fan shroud? Looks like it would be some rubber pads, washers, and the two bolts. I'm just not happy with my hardware store bolts and washers. Looks hacky.

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

    I did my efan conversion this weekend as well. I wanted to say that I don't have a trans temp gauge (other than data logging it), but I can tell my idling trans temps are higher now because I am getting a very slight slide into second gear from first, which happened on extremely hot days...
