Thin gray line tahoe build

[thingraylinetah]

Those colored mirror covers are held on with double sided tape, they'll just pop off so you can pop on your originals without needing to paint.

You’re giving up way too easy. What brand knock sensors did you install? If they’re Dorman, there’s your problem. They’re known to fail, only go with OEM. And it could still be your MAF. I believe you only said you cleaned it? If it’s still throwing a MAF code, try replacing it with a Delphi OEM, again not aftermarket. Your lifter tick may be broken exhaust manifold bolts- check to see how many broken ones you have. I’d be willing to bet you have a few and the exhaust leaks have fooled many owners of these vehicles. These engines are pretty bulletproof.

That's the same setup I went with, I also installed a 3000 stall from Circle D.View attachment 364610
This is from my 2nd cam replacement. The 1st one got destroyed by a cam bearing.

Far from it. Lol

Some guys use the green because it's not as corrosive as the DeX. I guess it's just a personal preference, but whichever you decide just don't mix them.
BTW--After I had my cammed 6.0 swapped into my Tahoe the trans didn't last very long.

I've bought a corvette servo, the sonnax pinless accumulators,, and I've got a 2800-3000 stall torque convertor. I'm going to try and get the sonnax super hold 4th gear servo and a shift kit from trans go. I'm also going to get an upgraded sun shell.

I started painting my grille yesterday with some rustoleum slate gray paint and primer combo. I still have more to do to it but here it is thus far.

It looks silver in the light but it's really more of a charcoal gray color.

You have to use a host(upload the video) like YouTube, then post the link.

Looks good. One question-why didn’t you color match it? Automotivetouchup.com sells spray cans in your paint code plus clear coat, it makes it pretty easy. I’m no expert painter and I’ve done some parts that way that came out great. Just a thought.

Because it's raptor lined gray. This was the best paint and primer in one that I could find that matches.

Lol. Sorry, I forgot. And it’s in the very first post in your thread. I have no excuse except I’m old af. Sooo….Looks great like I said!

Thanks for the compliment. I can't wait to get the denali heated mirrors with the turn signals and puddle lights in them installed. The glass in the mirrors is cracked and I just need to order two new pieces of glass. My tahoe already has the heated mirrors. Of course the puddle lights will be upgraded to LED lights.

Here is an update. I am still collecting parts for the build. I have found and will be acquiring in the coming days a 3.73 front diff and a 373 rear. My stepson will buying the 3:42 from my tahoe.
