    AC blows warm when stopped

    Another option is to change your fan style to the 05-06 electric fans. They drop right in place of the stock shroud and the factory wire harness and controller for them can be retrofitted to your 03. After that all it takes is an ECM tuner to turn on the fan control in your factory ECM. If...

    Actually selling it.....Pulled

    My .02 from my sector of the country, Socal. In Socal this would be a $$low teen's rig and would probably sell for that much. If I saw something like this for $4-6 I would buy it in an instant, drive it a while and then flip it for an easy double the money. I think the value of this Tahoe is...

    RockAuto.com Discount Code - Expires August 11, 2022

    Thank you both for the info. I looked and looked for the "vendor section" but didn't find a Vendor section or forum, other than the RockAuto sub-forum. Then I found your post OR VietVet in The Lounge and located the discount code. Thanks again...

    Engine Bay Dress UP

    Interesting that those are stock covers, just with paint. I'm guessing those must be on your '16 or '18, as they are not stock on an 01-06 NBS rig. I like the look of those too and wonder if they'd work without modification on an earlier engine. I'm guessing m1949 was looking for coil hiding...

    Recognize these headers

    Anyone recognize these headers? There are no mfg identifying names or marks on them. the only #'s on them are 115 on one flange, and the other side has 116 stamped in the flange. They came off an early 00-01 5.3 engine, which had all these exhaust system ports on the manifolds for possibly the...

    2003 Suburban EASIEST EFAN Swap Ever!!

    I figured out what the unknown wiring is. At first I thought it was for Flex Fuel stuff because I was only seeing it on "Z" engined vehicles at the yard yesterday, but then I saw it on a "T" engined vehicle so that idea was out. The 2 plugs occupying that space are for the Autotrac transfer...

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    Thanks for the info. I didn't know that's how it works, that once a VIN is licensed it can be repeatedly tuned for no additional. Perhaps it's time to have this conversation with the dyno guy that quoted me already for a full tune. Thanks

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    Thanks, this has me interested, the do it yourself option from lsdroid. I had not heard of this before, so I'll look into it.

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    Ok thanks for clarifying. If it was going to run but just not pass smog, or have some strange code that is nothing to worry about driveability wise, I could live with that. Thankfully I have it registered in a county that does not require smog checks. Having a home there has it's side...

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    If it is not flashed to my VIN, what happens? That's what I've been wondering about. I'm in Anaheim, CA.

    2003 Suburban EASIEST EFAN Swap Ever!!

    Quick question that's not addressed in any of the threads or videos I've seen for E-fan conversion. My 04 has two harness connectors with a bunch of wires attached in place where the 05-06 E-fan relay block is supposed to sit and clip in place. The relay block won't clip down or sit correctly...

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    Thanks @iamdub, I'll try to track someone down around here for that option.

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    I'm in the home stretch with this 6.0 swap. Today I plan to replace the original 04 front clip wire harness that powers the headlights, turn signals, horns, washer pumps and all else, with a complete front clip wire harness that was removed from an 06 Yukon, so all necessary wiring &...

    Newbie to the forum/ 05 Escalade 5.3

    You'd be surprised how many 5.3 Esky's there are. I'd guess somewhere in the ~30% range of all Esky's produced. I base that on the ones I see funneling thru the local PYP's here in CA. Easiest way to ID them as someone said, they do not have the 3 piece engine cover, but instead have the std...

    Coolant Reservoir Clean Out

    You can sort of see it in this thread I have going...but it's not a close up or clear picture, since it's just background 'noise.' If you would like a better picture or from a different angle, let me know and I'll snap one...

    Coolant Reservoir Clean Out

    My Tahoe has rear A/C also, but I would suspect that the accumulator is the same for at least 03-06 and possibly 01-06 Tahoe Yukon Suburban Escalade....as long as they all have rear A/C. The factory original one on mine is in place as well. I'll bet your accumulator was replaced at some point...

    Coolant Reservoir Clean Out

    Thanks everyone for the replies and info. For the time being, I'll keep using my original one, since the rest of the 6.0 build is over budget. I'll replace it down the road once I'm back on the road. There are multiple chambers inside as you mentioned. Is there some combo of turning it...

    Coolant Reservoir Clean Out

    Thanks for all the replies here. Is there any problem with the cheap $30 Dorman replacement tank? I looked at OEM GM on RockAuto and it looks like the OEM part is ~$75. I've read that certain Dorman parts are a no no, like their coolant line T's for the heater core lines because they are...

    Coolant Reservoir Clean Out

    Is there any effective way to clean out the Coolant Reservoir of the brown stains from being 18 years old? I have it out of the Tahoe currently and tried hot water and Simple Green but none of the brown discoloration residue released from the walls of the reservoir? Anyone found an effective...
