What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[05Single]

Thanks I'd love to find a clean 2dr one day put on a Denali front clip and swap in a LQ9

Don't think I've ever seen your obs before.

$200 and no labor to swap it on just need to spray the bolts with PB Blaster daily till I drop it off

There gonna remove the old one and install the new one, it's like 8 bolts total I think I didn't really want to deal with doing it, he just said to spray the bolts daily with PB Blaster and they should all come out easily and won't charge me the time for that

Here it is, 95 Tahoe with the 99-00 Denali conversion (front clip, body cladding, rear bumper) I got it like that, was a nice truck but where the spare tire mounted that cross member and the rear frame had seen better days, didn't feel like fixing that plus the 350 TBI wasn't that powerful so sold it and got the Escalade id love to find a clean 2dr do a 99-00 Escalade front clip and LQ9 swap it, or even find a clean 4dr, here's a few pics of it.

It's 3 bolts on either side and idk the tow hitch might bolt into it too there is an unused nut on the bottom on either side

Thanks brother...I just took a look under the bumper, guess I'm going to have to start hitting those bolts with some WD40 before I attempt to remove the bumper

There's the plastic cover and plastic step pads. All snap into place on a metal bumper. Metal bumper that is underneath is the exact shape as the stock Tahoe chrome bumper with the same exact bumper brackets that bolt onto the frame.

I thought maybe I could get away with just replacing the Escalade bumper cover but the Tahoe bumper is bent pretty bad...I'm going to swap them both out

 

[Cattivo]

@Cattivo

Yes, those 3. Two 18's and a 15. There's a fourth on each side underneath, it's 21. Then two 21's just above the receiver. So 10 total.

Thanks brother...I'll give it a shot this weekend

Acetone and tranny fluid works really well for a penetrating oil.....just have to keep mixing it up or it separates....

After the total solar eclipse we're having right now here in Oregon, I'll clean up some more parts and get them ready for my trans install.

Got any pics of the eclipse you can share with us Red?

I think @Snowbound is doing a conversion similar to that.

Since there was a holiday here today and I had the day off (we can't possibly work during an eclipse), and my Torx Plus TP50 socket showed up, I pulled the bell housing off my old trans and painted it with VHT Wrinkle Plus.

LS swap? Yeah, I started to. I was torn, I've put so much time and money into my 99 Denali and I was ready to start over with the LS but with my wedding coming up on the 9th of next month I couldn't work enough hours to fund both. Not to mention the time needed to get everything figured out for the wedding and put in the wrench time. Denali just sat in garage with no intake or fuel system on the sad looking 383. I'll update my build in a little while.

As far as swapping an LS into an OBS, it's about the easiest conversion you can do. I've seen guys modify their stock harness but it's easier to use an LS harness and computer and graft that to the truck. Saves a lot of repinning, swapping connectors and lengthening wiring. I'm not a fan of splices in wiring harness. Connector to connector with no breaks is best. Many conversion mounts available for cheap, little to no modification needed and is heavily supported in the aftermarket world. Can find anything you can imagine.

Thx for chiming in. I wondered what happened to you. Congrats on the impending funeral.... er, nuptials. I've been there twice myself.

Second time around for me. Guess I didn't learn the first time after 13 years. I think I got a good one this time.

Why is a marriage license the only license that doesn't have an expiration date?

All my friends and family getting married then divorced then married then divorced and I'm over here like.....

Shaggy has been getting the occasional P1516 code, which is a throttle position sensor issue. Hopefully the new throttle body takes care of the problem. Also got the throttle body bypass mod for the coolant lines running through there.
