    PUSH START Button instead of key

    without some kind of hidden kill switch it would just make an already easy to steal truck easier to steal.

    Low cold start oil pressure

    this. my GTO (ls1) does 38psi cold start, hot idle is around 20 but the PSI increases 10psi per 1000rpm through the rev range. as long as pressure rises with RPM you should be fine.

    Lost 3rd & 4th after solenoid swap

    ir probably burned up the clutches/band with the failed solenoid.

    will a 2002 gmc yukon transmission fit my 2004 gmc yukon? both are 5.3, 2 whel drive

    they are the same. the converter stall speed might be different but after 98ish a 4l60 is a 4l60. the 04 might have the 4l60eHD (aka the 4l65e) but still shouldnt matter. the computer doesnt care between the two. all new rebuilt 4l60's from GM are 4l65e and the part number supersedes the 4l60...

    will a 2002 gmc yukon transmission fit my 2004 gmc yukon? both are 5.3, 2 whel drive

    if they are both 2wd 1500's its the 4l60 and yes its interchangable. the 2wd 4l60/65/70 are all the same case and extension housing. i have had 4 of them out of different platforms in my wifes GTO. all the same. the one we took to have built was out of an 03 sierra 4door, the one i turned in for...

    '01 Tahoe whistling noise *FIXED*

    have you tried spraying brake clean around your intake track to see if there is a leak? it will cause it to rev up if it has a leak. spray around the throttle body, fuel injectors, where the intake meets the head and where all the vacuum sensors hook into the intake manifold. if it revs up on...

    How many miles you guys got on the odometer?

    our 05 has 78k on it. bought it a little over 2 years ago with 54k. been a great truck.

    Who has replaced their lifters? 5.3 T

    whoops my bad on that. still if its high mileage doing a set of stock valve springs isnt a bad idea for longevity especially if you are in there.

    Cam and stock exhaust

    it will but it will be more muted. you wont have the loud chops that you are probably expecting but you will definitely hear the exhaust note being different.

    Who has replaced their lifters? 5.3 T

    so lifters on an LS based engine require the heads to come off. If the truck has a bunch of miles it wouldnt hurt to have the heads gone over at a machine shop while they are off. Valve job and some vale springs since you are planning on boost. Last time i did it the machine shop charged me...

    4l80 swap with manual transfer case

    i might be wrong, but i dont think the stability control system in these trucks is quite that advanced and only uses the brakes to try and stabilize it. my understanding of the AWD system is that its 50/50 split in 4wd High essentially all the time. the only difference would be that you are...

    4l80 swap with manual transfer case

    i am interested in what you find. my friend has a 04 burb and wants to go 4l80e with electric shift tcase. he already has a z71 burb with the electric shift but im curious if there is a difference. id imagine GM being the cheap asses they are use the same bolt pattern between the 60 and 80...

    Cracked 5.3. What now

    dont waste your time/money building a 60e especially in a 5000+ pound vehicle that you are planning to boost. go 80e with a shift kit and a converter and never worry about it. tuning is the biggest thing with these engines. the sloppy mechanics youtube page guys just did almost 900hp through...

    2003 Tahoe drive without front driveshaft

    yea the transfer case still is involved when driving the front or rear tires. i doubt it would make any difference removing it.

    Normal oil pressure 6.0 Vortec

    good rule of thumb is 20-40psi at idle (hot/cold) and rising by ~10psi per 1000rpms. the motor in my GTO was setup a bit loose and it does 38psi cold and drops to around 16-18 at hot idle but by 7000rpm its at 75ish. its been running that way for ~8 years without issues.

    4l60e transmission compatibility?

    should be fine. its 1 part number from GM for the 2wd and 1 part number for the 4wd. i have 2 4l60's in my garage (not including the one in my wifes GTO and our Tahoe) and they are identical. One game out of a 05 silverado, one out of the GTO.

    warm up time- noisy lifters

    the GTO had 104k miles when we pulled the heads but it had been ticking for about 5k miles or so.

    warm up time- noisy lifters

    if you are getting ticking it might be time to pop the heads off and put in new lifters. after having a camshaft and motor destroyed by a failed lifter that i said "itll be fine for a little while longer" i listen when they start ticking. we did a head swap to ported 241's on my wifes 04 gto and...

    5.3 litre stalls after startup

    does it stall if you are applying throttle to it or just idling? whats the idle RPM? electric or cable throttle?

    Timing Chain?

    wouldnt hurt, if you are going as far as replacing the front cover, might as well throw on a oil pump and timing chain since oilpump has to come off to do timing chain. for removal, line the crank and cam dots up then unbolt the cam gear and remove the chain and gear, reinstall is reverse of...

    Multiple Codes seem to be connected need help

    lean bank 1? spray some brake or carb cleaner around where the intake manifold meets the heads and see if the idle speeds up. having a big vacuum leak can cause both the misfires and the lean condition. If it revs up when you spray near the intake to head mounting surface you probably need to do...

    replaced my passenger front wheelhub assembly today

    i think i paid around 130 for the timkin one for my tahoe. the highway oscillation noise i was hearing is gone now which is awesome. it sounded chunky when i took it out.
