Dang! I Love My Tahoe!

How did you get the LS3 engine covers in your engine bay? How are they attached? What intake plenum cover is that?

It’s all from C6 corvette. The passenger side you have to cut ALOT off of to fit but the driver side is untouched, just run your ground strap through the fuel line opening in the cover. The fake fuel lines that the covers snap onto are still a work in progress. But they can mount on the beauty cover with its existing mount holes. Oil cap is just mounted to the cover and not useable. Some wire looms will need to reposition a little but do not need to but unplugged. There is one I need to make in the beauty cover in front for valve cap to fit through, but that worked great because it locks it the cover.

I was going to find some LS1 stock fuel line to mount to to the beauty cover so the fuel rail covers will lock down tight. If you look closely the holes on the cover and the 5.3 fuel rail bolts on the intake matchup perfectly. So attaching a bracket or something should be easy.

Sorry, one hole in the cover and helps lock it down.

Here's the link to the front lights:

I went with LED and love it. Had to change out the flasher relay (to avoid hyper-flashing) and everything works great. They're so bright at night, that when I turn on my flood lights (also now LED), they barely make a difference.

So, no bulbs included. Did you use just the standard 9005 and 9006 bulbs or what? What number LED lights did you use? I am lazy and would appreciate the numbers from you. Thank you.

So, apparently Amazon vehicle fitment is BS because they say these will not fit my 2005 Z71 Tahoe. Did you have to do anything special for the install?

I went back to Amazon and checked to see if the trim designation makes a difference. It says these headlight assemblies fit a 2005 Tahoe LT but don't fit a 2005 Tahoe Z71. Where is the difference, if you know?

There is none. Both are the same.

 

[OR VietVet]

There us none. Both are the same.

I thought so but wanted to hear it from someone that knew for sure. Thanks. I personally could not see any difference in mine and the ones I was asking about, other than the black out design.

Np. Sometimes I don't understand these companies.

With any computer related info, it is always "Garbage in and Garbage out".
