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

[blueinkd]

Picked up a free intake from a buddy of mine. He got it from someone else and had no need for it. Looks to be an oem TBSS. After some research, looks like the swap is not direct swap and will require several things. All he gave me was the bare intake.

Not Tahoe content exactly, but figured you guys would still appreciate it.

Buttoning up my '02 Silverado 2500. 6.0 just went down for major overhaul/maintenance. New motor mounts, cam, lifters, hardened pushrods, head studs, refreshed 862 heads, rockers with improved trunion, stainless shorty headers, upgraded trans cooler, tranny fluid change, replaced tranny cooler lines, etc.

Went with a Summit SUM-8719R1, for those curious. .550"/.550" 209/[email protected] 112±1LSA

I expect it'll be pretty happy in the 6.0, particularly with the increase in compression with the 862 heads. Excited to have it all buttoned back up and get it tuned/back on the road.

May I ask why you chose shorty headers?

Put a fuel pump in the Tahoe today, Guage sending unit was flaking out.

Those not in the south check out 300k of no rust

Easy install and I already had a set. I still have the factory exhaust anyway and it's in great shape. While I would've loved the bump in low end from the long tubes, just wasn't necessary right now to spend the money and go through the effort, especially when I didn't have a better muffler to support the increased flow.

Is that a Magnaflow? Looks just like mine.

Wow. I am completely backwards. I always thought the shorties were better for low end power, but limited, and the long tubes were for high end power, but more of it. Anyway, thanks for answering my question!

Yep! Long tubes are better in every aspect except packaging. And cost, of course. You're welcome!

I went to the local pick and pull. Replaced the driver's seat controls. Working again!..some other small trim pieces and then rebuilt the center console cup holder and cover assembly by piecing together pieces from an Escalade and Denali set. Its all assembled, just waiting to go in.

Eh… pics, or STFU.

thrush welded. It's just a Flowmaster knock off

Ha! Whoops, broke the rules already! Here's a shot of it before I finished cleaning it. It's was a mess coming out of the junk yard. The bottom cupholder part came off the Escalade and then just attached it to the Denali top. Probably about 15 little screws with one hidden underneath a clip in part. I'll get a sgit of the back later.

My dad always said nothing is free! Looks like that "free" intake might be spending a lot of cash... LOVE IT! Ya gotta do it now...

No lie!! It's a trap! I haven't had much time to do the research and I really don't like the idea of Adapters for the injectors and TB.

If it's one thing I hate about these trucks is these weak shallow cup holders!! My coffee mug is all over the place in the mornings unless I'm holding it

Drove it 70 miles round trip to have lunch -- fried chicken -- with a couple of my buds. One is moving back to Indiana (drove for Jasper engines out here) this weekend and the other lives next door.

Sounds like a great day! Where’d you get fried chicken..?

 

[nonickatall]

I made rain today. It is very easy for me and i wait for good job offers. Maybe from a dry region where you can have good fun. Something like Nevada? I really think about opening a car wash center in the Sahel zone.

How I do rain? Well it's very easy, i just wash my car, the next day it's raining..

I'm gonna guess it wasn't KFC!

Not sure if you need any info on this, or if I’m too late in the process, but I bought these parts to help with the fan connections:
ACDelco GM Original Equipment... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0055AMAWQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Can’t seem to find the pins at the moment.. I’ll update if I can find them. That connector was a great find. Was a PITA figuring out the correct one.

I have these in my history, but I know I had found the sealed ones, so don’t believe I used any of these..

Delphi Micro-Pack 100W Series Female Unsealed Terminal 12084912 25 PCS https://a.co/d/hVDrTjs

I have the pigtail part of the harness, I was gonna try to use the terminals out of an extra ecu plug that I have, but if that doesn't work out I may order those. Thank you!

You need the flex fuel rails, and either the corvette fuel filter, or a fuel pressure regulator for the return.
Then if your truck is drive by cable you can get a Chinese 4 bolt TB. I think the thing for DBW is called X-link.

Also, make sure it is cathedral port before you start buying parts... lol
