    Rear Cargo Cover -roller, difference Tahoe v Suburban

    I have one of the rare Tahoe/Escalade/Yukon short version cargo shades that I'd sell. The color does not match my interior, it is tan color, and my interior is a shale "dark tan-grey color." This one is about ~4" shorter/narrower than the Suburban/Escalade ESV/Yukon XL more common cargo cover.

    6.0 Engine Swap, GM Motor mounts 15226255 vs 25828247

    Replacing both motor mounts on an 04 Tahoe that I'm swapping in a 6.0 lq9. Rockauto is showing different GM part #'s for motor mounts for an '05 Cadillac Escalade vs. the '04 Chevy Tahoe. 15226255(Pink) or 25828247 (Red)...not sure what the color mention is about? Are there differences and...

    Did a 6.0 swap in your 1/2T....what cam did you use in the 6.0?

    No worries mattbta. My '04 original had an 862 head crack. I did a bit more research on the valve cover revisions. There are 4 versions of the driver's side valve cover. 1) removable PCV valve, 2) fixed PCV orifice with 3 round breather holes, 3) fixed PCV orifice with 1 round breather hole...

    Motor Mounts - 2008 Chevy Tahoe Z71 4x4

    Thanks. I figured that, but wasn't sure if this was only for 07+ or also the earlier 99-06. Good to hear the 3 bottom bolts are an easy remove. I've seen in this thread some mention of swapping to a Hummer H2 or H3 motor mount. What is the rationale for making that swap? Picking up motor...

    Motor Mounts - 2008 Chevy Tahoe Z71 4x4

    Been watching this thread for a while now. Is this motor mount access difficulty something unique to 07+ GMT900's or is this also an issue for 99-06 GMT800's? Going to be swapping engines soon and will be replacing motor mounts with new. Just wondering if this will affect my 04. Thanks.

    Did a 6.0 swap in your 1/2T....what cam did you use in the 6.0?

    Looking for a little more info on the valve cover revisions. I see the newest version is the one with the square breather hole with wings. Earlier versions though, I've found 2 earlier versions and not sure which came first. As your pic showed, one earlier version had 1 round breather hole...

    6 speed Auto conversion

    Been researching this 4l70 v 4l65 and I'm not seeing much difference in them. Same gear ratios, and mostly the same internals, with some minor differences. The electrical differences are as described with the ISS being in the 70 and not necessary when used in place of a 4l60 or 4l65. Looking...

    Did a 6.0 swap in your 1/2T....what cam did you use in the 6.0?

    Thank you. I was aware of that update valve cover. Is there any way to ID that specific updated valve cover from the outside if it were installed on an engine? Or is the only ID by looking at the internal side? I thought I had read a thread somewhere recently that mentioned going back to...

    6 speed Auto conversion

    Yeah, for sure....Big $$. I believe that is with them providing the transmission itself. I believe they have another option that is between $2500 and $2900 with you supplying the transmission itself.

    6 speed Auto conversion

    I could see the price adjusting as more figure out the electronics side of things over time. I see your point that a 4L80e is more stout than a 4L60e, but for a 2004 Tahoe, I don't think the 4L80e is the right transmission. My factory trans is currently at 333k mileage, so they can be made to...

    6 speed Auto conversion

    Thanks everyone for the posts. So it is a possibility with TBM, but it has a price tag attached to it. As much as I'd like to convert to the 6 sp, I think Doubeleive said it best.

    REAR END UPGRADES

    I'll probably keep up the search for an 05-06 one anyway, since I believe these were all 3.73 gear ratio, and that matches the gear ratio in my 04 Tahoe Z71 4wd so I won't have to re-gear to match the front diff.

    REAR END UPGRADES

    I was initially searching 2006 Escalade 2wd's and there was only 1 in Texas that was about double the cost of yours. I tried searching 2005, but they don't have the AXN as a possible listing for 05, which is incorrect. I've seen one in an 05 also. Once I changed to 2007+ as you searched, I...

    6 speed Auto conversion

    Has it been done in a GMT800, specifically an 03 and later? I drive a 6 speed Ford F250 for work sometimes and the vast improvement in driveability with the 6 speed over a 4 speed 4L60/4L65 can't be dismissed. Not looking to blaze trail on this, or reinvent the wheel if it's a major...

    Did a 6.0 swap in your 1/2T....what cam did you use in the 6.0?

    The 6.0 lq9 Tahoe is a big step closer to reality and driveability. Recently picked up my all 'new' 6.0 from the builder that did the assembly. I had sourced all the parts on my own from WS6Store and had the machine work done at a local Socal shop that did an excellent job. Unfortunately...

    REAR END UPGRADES

    Did you search "14-Bolt Saginaw 9.5" at LKQOnline or did you search by vehicle? I can't come up with the axle you mentioned on their site. Thanks for the help finding how you searched and found it. Edit: I spent a bit more time there and figured out how to search. You have to enter the...

    02 Cadillac Escalade factory Aspen White rear pillars, appliques

    It took a few months of searching, but I managed to locate a set of these rare white white, no pearl, Escalade rear corner posts / appliques. A 2002 Escalade showed up in a local PYP this weekend and in the online pics it looked like real white, so I took a drive out to see what I'd find...

    Major Oil Leak

    With how many oil leaks these things have and how many NBS trucks and SUV's I see on the road, I'd bet there are plenty of GM's running around leaving their mark with oil and lots of well oiled -never to rust- undercarriages. For anyone that's BTDT, have you come up with a clever way to clean...

    Major Oil Leak

    One more that I've heard can be a source of a hard to find leak is the cam position sensor. It is located next to the oil pressure sending unit on the back of the block. It leaks down internally and gives the appearance of a rear main seal leak, because of where it is located and where the...

    Looking for a couple parts - 2006 Escalade

    Did you pull them from the Platinum Escalade that showed up about 2 months ago in the San Berdo LKQ Pick Your Part? I was out there about 10 days after that Platinum Escalade was put out and it was picked clean....nothing left but the body shell.

    Upcoming used parts 2005 Z71-Closed sale.

    That's interesting about the front axles being the hot commodity. The last time I checked new/replacement axle cost at the local F.L.A.P.S., a new axle assy was under $50.

    Upcoming used parts 2005 Z71-Closed sale.

    Yeah, selling is always first come, first served. What I'm saying is you don't have to "shut it down" in order to sell elsewhere. Like I said, first come, first served. If you shut it down here, you may miss a sale here on something that has not yet sold. Food for thought.....
