Just caught up on the last 10 pages of this build. Didn't miss much, just a bunch of New Yorkers flappin their jaws as usual.
Especially that @Galante character, doesnt he have his own thread to post in?!

Thanks for the part numbers and locations brother i really appreciate it! ...best part is it shouldn't cost me a dime, I'll just remove whatever parts are bad from the Tahoe and replace them with parts from the Escalade

I bought my snap on breaker bar at home depot over 10 years ago...I've never been to a harbor freight or do I know where it even is lol

I just bought another breaker bar, hopefully I don't snap this one as well

NEW SNAP ON SHBB24 1/2" DRIVE 24" SOFT GRIP BREAKER BAR | eBay

Oh God. I just brought it's clone at harbor freight for $15. Everything I read online said people tried and tried to break it and it held up pretty well.

I found this video to be very helpful in regards to my rough idle and constant misfire, my truck is experiencing the same exact symptoms as the truck in the video(vacuum leak)...looks like I may try and replace the intake manifold before attempting the 6.0 swap

Maybe this video can help anyone else with similar problems

Happy B-Day!! I just want to make sure that it is known that I am the farthest thing from a HF fan boy!! If you find you need a new tool....just check out your local HF and see if it is one of the good one's that they sell and save a ton. I got here too late. I just read up a whole bunch about the actuator and lean conditions! You already figured it out!

 

[Chubbs]

Thanks for all the advice fellas I really appreciate it, I'm probably not going to attempt the swap until we move so I can try and do it in a nice warm garage...there's no way my neighbors will go for an engine swap in the street or parking lot

In the mean time, I'll keep looking for a mechanic who's not out to **** me...this is way above my skill level unless I can find someone to help me with a lot more knowledge than me

It's not above your skill level. You can find all the info in others build threads & instructionals throughout the various forums, Like performance trucks. I would rather replace an engine than do all of the little tedious/micro/intensive LED lights & cluster mods that you like to knock out. If you can do that $hit, engine work will be a breeze. Stuff that you can get your hands around. The only thing that will test your patience & intelligence will be the technical side of it. Maybe not even the wiring harness & computers so much as the tuning. If you really want to mod it out, upgrade to the 6-speed heavy duty 6L90 & make it all "talk"
If not the 6L90, at least the beefier 4L80, which may actually be original to some Cadillac and for sure the HD pickups in a 6L combo.

Have your avatars aka profile pics ever been discussed openLy? Is the new 1 the same chick as the 1 before, or diff't?

I'm an electrician by trade so knocking out all the LED mods comes pretty easy to me but swapping out an engine is something I've never done before, I wouldn't even know where to begin...honestly, I don't even know what 6L90 or 4L80 means lol

My old avatar was actually my wife, lets just say she wasn't to happy when she saw her pic on a car forum lol...the new chick is just some random hewa

The only way I would even attempt it is if I had someone who actually knows these motors like the back of their hand...I can do simple shit but don't wanna destroy 2 engines from lack of knowledge

I've been looking around for a used duramax engine if it would fit...I've always wanted a diesel

She should be honored! It's the TYF crew!

That pretty much sums it up lol

That picture I'm sure was meant for YOU ONLY! LOL

Look for an LBZ Duramax with the Allison transmission out of a 2007 Classic. It's the ultimate for the GMT800s, 360 HP and 660 Torque.
