2004 6.0 NV4500 Tahoe

[Dantheman1540]

let me check around, i bought some off ebay that came curved for tube install, but they just had a hose barb no threads

The other problem is I want to make sure the open-element actually gets into the air stream for accurate readings. I've been drawing blanks on my google searches, all I keep ending up here https://shearerfabrications.com/:jester:

if its just on the intake pre-supercharger, no pressure on it the carbon fiber may hold a few threads enough to hold the sensor

Forgot to respond to your bottom half. It's going on the Tahoe which is NA so no real pressure but the CF is super crazy thin I don't think it would take even 1 full thread.

Does that fit a Z71 valence?

Same question Rocket man has, does it fit a Z71 valence?

Good question. Not really sure. Honestly, I've never really looked at the Z71 valance.

I would think as long as it has the return lip at the bottom it should

I'll have to do some research I know @05Single has one just gotta dig through his thread for the eleventeenth time.

I haven't even looked to see how the lips would attach. Is it little plastic push pop dudes? Or J clips?

03 up had a molded ‘plastic clip’ on the return lip that goes back towards the motor and the dam clipped on then 2 screws at each fender. My 01 didn’t have the molded clips so I just drilled a few holes at those locations (backside) and a few p-ties and done. I’m not sure if you can fit it on that z71 one tho. Looks like the plastic ‘skid plate’ portion may prevent it.

I'll have to look tonight you might be right about that center area. I can't have the lip falling off I do a considerable amount of off-roading it won't last if it's not 100% secure.

For reference cutouts are from my plow..

It fits. Zip ties and one screw on each end. It’s a little long so the ends have to be trimmed 1/4” iirc
It’s pretty playable and will stay on , but if you plan on doing serious off-roading I wouldn’t put a lip on

Never imagined I'd tow a trailer this much. Drug home another project, 53kmiles on a 2002 taurus with clogged cats for $500. Battery was stone cold dead as well took a 1,000cca battery and jump box to light it off. Hopefully a quick flip with just enough work required to entertain me for a week or two.

Averaged 12mpg across town mostly stop and go, glad I fixed the endlink yesterday truck feels super stable towing but would love that front hellwig.

Those are some nice jumper cables. What's that box connected to the cables?

Jump pack, I love that thing

something like this Ton... they are powerful lil *******...

Thx Pete. I thought he jumped it off the other battery. Nice jump pack--compact. Strong enough? I had a compact Cobra one--it was junk, it swelled up.

 

[PG01]

Looks like he needed both.... dead is dead... lol

Grandma's car with lots of short trips that killed the cats?

If you keep hauling like this, you're gonna have to invest in some load bags!

Like they said jump box but this one is shit it has let me down more times than it's helped. I got a smaller one because the reviews were great but if the battery is dead enough the starter won't click it won't help.

Looks like he needed both.... dead is dead... lol

I do have a set and they help keep it from bottoming out but it still sits the rear down an inch or 2 even at 25psi. I might look into changing up springs because I think these are a little too soft even for regular driving.


Well, I went to a Cleetus and Cars this weekend wow that was wild! The truck got 16.4mpg on the 300mile round trip which means I definitely lost a little highway mpg with the bigger cam. Might end up ditching the Nittos 420s and going with an MPG-oriented tire for the next set.

Also got some done to the Taurus, had to pull the passenger axle and a slew of other things the get the Y pipe out. Cats were totally clogged so I had to gut them like I work at a Chinese restaurant. Going to use my HPT to clear the rear O2 code and then I need to give it a good purple power ******** and put it for sale. That is if there's nothing else wrong but I don't think there is.
