    Budget rebuild items?

    Ordered some new parts from BTR: valve springs, valve seals, crank bolt, lifter trays. Basically enough to get over the $200 threshold for free shipping. Also talked to the local machine shop about services & rates. He's going to take my block, heads, pistons, crankshaft, and clean them all...

    Axle ratio to tire size input needed

    Because I have 33" wheel/tire combos for summer & winter. I imagine a 6.0 swap will negate the taller tires.

    Axle ratio to tire size input needed

    Did 3.73 gears come in any 4wd 6L80-equiped SUVs? Or, was that a truck-only thing?

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Low Buck Truck cam arrived. Basically a Truck Norris clone.

    Budget rebuild items?

    Low buck truck cam arrived today. The UPS tracking info said it came from BTR, but the label had Richard's name on it. After watching a ton of his videos and live streams (tons of good info there) I assume he's got a good relationship with Brian Tooley Racing. The specs on it are pretty similar...

    Shocks and spacers

    I hated RS9000XL adjustable Ranchos I had on my Armada. 5100s are a million times better.

    Squeaking noise driving me crazy

    I've listened to both linked videos twice, and I can't hear a thing. Time to schedule a visit with an audiologist.

    Replacing torque converter - with what?

    Gotcha. Thanks.

    Replacing torque converter - with what?

    What was the stall speed on that converter? I'd go with a new 2500 JMBX for my 6L80, but I want a slightly higher speed to better match the cam I'm installing.

    Cool engine cover

    This is what it looks like after I hacked together the factory airbox and the Speed Engineering intake. It had a cheap open cone filter and a crappy/rusty metal heat shield which looked like donkeybutt.

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Yes, just got some NAPA 3/4" black lug nuts. Those splined pieces looked good for about a month, then started rusting. I'm sure a company makes quality versions, but I didn't have those.

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Swapped over to my warm-weather wheels/tires yesterday, after my new lugnuts showed up. Even went to the carwash.

    Fox shocks

    Check to see if one of your wheel-speed sensors came loose at the harness. It may have gotten inadvertently snagged or streched enough to disconnect one of the pins inside.

    time to break up with denial…guess who. 6L80!!!

    There's a channel on YT that does transmission teardowns and is amazing about explaing how they work in a digestible amount of time. Look up: Richard and Teresa Educational Transmission Videos https://youtube.com/@richardteresacricheducatio3542?si=K4Pho4oWYJAFEyeM He knows more about the...

    Sure looks like they assembled it incorrectly.

    Basically my reasoning.

    Input Requested on Moderate Suspension Lift, Skid Plate & Wheel/Tire Options (including the use of Toyota wheels)

    If I had $10k to burn I could probably only get half the goodies I want from their site.

    5.3 build ideas input please

    You know what, that might not work for 5.3 pistons. What are the piston diameters?

    There's a 2008 6.0L from a 2500 available for $800 near me...

    I currently have a BBP tune for the 5.3 in my Yukon now, so I'll try to stick with that for continuity. I just ordered a Truck Norris cam, and will be deleting the VVT from my LY6. Even though the factory LY6 valve springs are allegedly good enough for the cam, I'm going to replace those as...

    Budget rebuild items?

    so..... I got a Truck Norris directly from Richard for $169 shipped. What a guy! Sounds like he had accrued a ton of parts, and is divesting to get some $$$ for future projects.

    Budget rebuild items?

    I get it, but since he's one of the only people doing back to back cam tests with the same engine I am working with (LY6), it's been one of the few relevant data points. To be fair he absolutely touches upon your point in many of his videos and livestreams; most people want max HP/TQ numbers...

    Budget rebuild items?

    I didn't ask/specify, but he did say there's only a 5-10hp difference between the two, and since I'm replacing the valve springs anyway I'd do the regular, not the NSR cam. I was hoping he had some input on the Cam Motion 6.0 stage 2 truck cam, but he said he hadn't tested that one.

    Budget rebuild items?

    I'm literally watching a Livestream with Richard Holdener and was able to ask him about a fun cam for an LY6 of all the cams he's tested, and he said BTR Truck Norris.
