    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Well, technically yesterday, BUT . . . I re-adjusted the timing. It should be correct now, but I need to run it on a computer, to check my codes and check my timing.

    Brett's 2004 Escalade 6.0 AWD build

    No prob 95. The Texas Ed's would definitely be a more original wheel choice. I know I have never seen them on any Eskys.

    Inexpensive tune?

    I could be wrong, but AFM may have only been used on the 5.3. Both of my dad's trucks were 5.3's.

    Volant Cold Air?

    I see a lot of recommendations for this intake, and I'm really leaning towards it, so that I can see out water, in case I put the Z71 in some mud. Now, the problem here, is they make two for the same vehicle, my 96, and they both look similar. One is just a square box, one is molded to fit the...

    Inexpensive tune?

    I guess it's just a hit and miss kinda thing.

    Inexpensive tune?

    That sucks! Being that your's is that new though, you could have it tuned at any reputable tuner near you. You could also wait for BB to schedule tuning sessions near you, if you want to wait that long.

    Thoughts on new hood...

    Sorry to hear that brother! Take care of yourself first, and your Hoe second. There will always be time to get around to it, if you take care of yourself. Good luck on everything, and I hope you get better soon!

    Good tips 04SS99Denali! You're a 26, huh?

    Brett's 2004 Escalade 6.0 AWD build

    Looks great! Glad you got the piece for the hood trim. I can deal with the chrome on the handles, roof rack, and running boards, but the chrome on the front end just looks out of place. I really love those black Texas Editions! If I had a 2WD, I would be on them. They don't look right on the 4X4...

    What is the difference between 1996 and 1997 Vortec?

    Yep, they did build the Vortec V6 in 94, if not earlier. My truck would have been the TBI. At that same time, there was also the "Enhanced 4.3L," I believe it had 10-15 more horsepower. Visually, the air intake was different. The one I had, had the traditional air cleaner. The Enhanced 4.3 had...

    Can I paint my Depos

    Ok, good to know. I'm thinking about going to Pull-A-Part to get a set of taillights with the red lenses anyway. I can try this method on her's, and if it doesn't work, I wouldn't really be out anything.

    Goodies in my amazon cart

    Maybe AC Delco has gone down, I can't say for sure. I do know that about 16 years ago when I was living in Michigan were a lot of those parts were made, quality was suffering due to the quality of some of it's employees. :thumbsdown: Maybe they have improved though. Not likely though.

    Need new carpet, need help choosing the color

    Yeah, very true. I wasn't thinking about those areas. If it weren't for that, then it wouldn't really matter if you went with a darker shade or color.

    Can I paint my Depos

    Then I got some bad info. I was told the blacked out headlights were called Depos. Like that's what that style was called, not necessarily a name brand. The oven cleaner method sounds pretty simple. When I read your suggestion the first time, I assumed that this was a prep method, until I read...

    What is the difference between 1996 and 1997 Vortec?

    Could be. Like I said, anyone can modify the entries on Wiki, so someone may have used some bad information. The Vortec V6 goes back to atleast 94 though. My Sonoma was a 94, built in the summer of 93, and it had the Vortec 4.3L V6.

    Removed Running Boards and Chrome Fender Accents

    SOOOO much better! Looks great the way it is now. Not sure what else you have planned. Personally, I would remove the moldings on the side, and swap over to smoothie bumpers. The moldings look good when they're in good shape. Once they get old, fade, and the coating over the chrome lifts and...

    Glare caps or nah!?

    What exactly are glare caps? Got a pic of that?

    Barn door alignment

    Yeah, I used to work at a body shop, hanging on the door to pull it down, or lifting from the bottom to pick it up are common techniques. :hahano:

    anyone running 15s -pic request

    Like they did when they were new. Didn't most of these trucks come with 15's? 16's being an option.

    Can I paint my Depos

    I thought that all Depos were black? I thought that was the whole point. A guy by the login "Whistler" on an Fbody forum figured out the baking method, and painted all the chrome black. I had always planned on doing that to the headlights on my Camaro. I changed from the faded stockers, to angel...

    Inexpensive tune?

    Yep. They definitely are prone to failure. My dad has owned an 07 Sierra and currently owns a 12 Sierra. Both had AFM. To my knowledge, he never had an issue with the 07. The 12 though, has been in the shop twice. The first time he brought it in, they only changed the lifters on one side. Right...

    1985/1996 Corvette GS clone

    I would kinda like to buy, build, drive, then sell and buy another. I just can't do it. I get too attached. I also like to collect them though.
