    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    Steam line poll: What is the consensus on which steam line is better to use, the 4 port from earlier 99-00 vehicles, or the block off plugs in the back of the cylinder heads and the standard '04 front steam line that vents the heads up front? I have both available. Anyone venture a guess...

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    Going thru things today since my buddy wasn't able to help drop the long block in the Tahoe today. I was looking at part of the engine wiring harness and a question came up. Is the engine harness all one piece, including the lower portion that wraps around the oil pan up front and grabs the...

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    They are the same dimensionally from what I see measuring. From what I was told on LS1Tech for some reason, unknown to me, GM used a different flexplate for the 6.0/4L65e vs the 5.3/4L60e configuration. Yes I've seen one of the flat flexplates on the early "iron head" lq4 and the crank...

    Engine Swap Tomorrow

    Thanks. That's a good deal with all that's included. Shoot at only 150k that original lq9 was just getting broken in ;) Sounds like a good deal all around.

    Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

    I figured I'd start an engine swap thread for future reference and for others who want to do the swap in the future. I'm about half way thru the swap process. The old still running well 335k miles 5.3 that leaked oil prodigiously is out, and on a tire and pallet. The 6.0 is on the stand and...

    Engine Swap Tomorrow

    Congratulations on the new power plant. Just wondering, what happened with the original engine that you're replacing it? It sounds like you're having the swap done by a shop? I am in the same boat with a lq9 swap right now, but I didn't find a local shop that wanted the job. I suspect...

    Heater Hose firewall connections -replace, revision, update

    Thanks for all the replies here. I'm not going to re-use the original ones. I looked and the hoses are all date coded 06-03 which corresponds with the build date on the driver's door tag. Pretty impressive that factory hoses and fittings have made it this long. So I picked up GM OEM plastic...

    4l60e trans rebuilder ?

    That appears to be California TransmissionS (plural). The one in Socal is California Transmission. I think they have 3 shops, East LA, Ontario, and San Marcos.

    Heater Hose firewall connections -replace, revision, update

    I'm in the same boat with 335k miles and they've never given me a lick of a problem. Guess I'll be looking for the GM ones, since as much as the aluminum ones sound like a permanent solution, at the selling price, I'll gamble for another 335k miles with factory ones. Are the plastic fittings...

    Heater Hose firewall connections -replace, revision, update

    I have the engine out of my 04 Tahoe currently. It's being replaced with a 6.0 lq9. I seem to have read that the plastic heater hose Q/D's at the firewall tend to be a problem at some point, so I'm thinking about replacing them now. Mine have never leaked or caused any problems but the...

    4l60e trans rebuilder ?

    Subscribing to this thread. I'm in Socal as well and will be having my trans gone thru in the near future. I haven't used them personally, yet but have heard good things about California Transmission. They have 2 or 3 locations in Socal. Speaking to them on the phone, they seemed to know...

    Update to adding trans temp gauge...

    How were you able to get the temp gauge functional in your existing cluster? Do you have the pieces necessary to program or change values as the OP has done? I do not have any of the hardware to get that done, but would pay someone for their services to make the change in my existing...

    Camshaft for 6.0 LQ9, Sum-8718 or -8719 or similar

    Thank you, no longer looking for a camshaft. Ended up going with a Summit 8718R1 truck cam.

    9.5SF Swap

    Yes that is where it turned up. Crazy that 1 of 120 would end up there but it's now 1 less as that thing is long gone, crushed already. I only have the 2 pictures of the emblems that I posted in this thread. Yes in an Anaheim, CA pick your part. I hadn't heard about this either, until I...

    9.5SF Swap

    So kind of off topic in this thread, but this is the only place I posted this so here goes. I just stumbled onto what this special edition Escalade is. Apparently in 05-06 GM made a very limited run of a "Grammy edition" Escalade for self-important-celebrity use at the Grammys. One site I...

    WTD: Motor Mounts for GMT800 and Gauge Cluster Needle Tool, Removal Fork

    Thank you. My VIN ends in 4R104507. I've researched motor mounts and there are different part #'s for similar vehicles(Tahoe v Escalade) with different engines(5.3 v 6.0), even though they all should interchange. I'm swapping an LQ9 into the Tahoe referenced above, so any GM motor mount is...

    WTD: Motor Mounts for GMT800 and Gauge Cluster Needle Tool, Removal Fork

    Looking for a pair of new motor mounts for a 2004. The 3 GM part numbers I'm seeing are 25828247, 15226255, & 15226251 but there could be others that would work in my application. Looking for a gauge cluster needle removal tool, fork thing that I've seen a time or two. Need to do some...

    Rear hatch glass swap to Escalade

    Thank you. So all you have to do is remove the "washer" :Big Laugh: and the window assy slides off? Whoda thunk it be that easy from GM?!?!?

    Rear hatch glass swap to Escalade

    Thinking about swapping to an Escalade 3rd brake light. It appears you have to swap the rear glass hatch complete as the light base is glued to the glass and will not come off without breaking. How does one go about removing the glass hatch assembly from the lift gate? Thanks.

    6.0 Engine Swap, GM Motor mounts 15226255 vs 25828247

    I've read bits and pieces about that, but haven't been able to nail down if it only applies to 07+ vehicles or if it's also for 01-06's. Also been trying to figure out if the 07+ motor mount is the same as the 01-06 or if there are frame differences. Thanks for the tip.

    6.0 Engine Swap, GM Motor mounts 15226255 vs 25828247

    Thanks for the replies. That's interesting about the color differences specifying different material in the mount. Dimensionally they are all the same though?
