    My custom/stock wheels

    No problem popo! You know I love those Impalas! I wish I could get myself an SS before they're all f'd up and turned into ghetto cruisers!

    What is the difference between 1996 and 1997 Vortec?

    95 escahoe, your reply to Kenny reinforces everything I have known about the switch from TBI to Vortec. That Wikipedia link I posted though, shows differently. Ofcourse anyone with an account on their site can edit it, and put incorrect information on it. :insane:

    Electric Fans

    Thank you very much brother! I have put all these items in my wish list on Amazone, for when I get ready to order. I defintely prefer electric fans over clutch fans. That's a good bit of weight sticking off the front end of the motor. Electric fans give an engine bay a much cleaner look. I think...

    Brett's 2004 Escalade 6.0 AWD build

    I like BLAKLAC. DETHCAD would be cool too. I'm sure I could come up with some more, if I think about it a little more. For some reason . . . I kinda like it! Not sure why though . . . :think: :smoke2: I need to get a vanity plate for my vehicles that are actually legal to drive. BCKNBLK might...

    Your ugly tails

    05Single, ok, that's cool. I don't have any of those at my disposal, but I know I can put my hands on some. How many sets are you looking for? I hope when you do what you need to do, you come clean on what this project is. I'm sure that you're polishing and modifying them, but I'm curious about...

    What is the difference between 1996 and 1997 Vortec?

    While researching my 96 2 door a while back, I learned that ofcourse 96 was the first year of the Vortec. Cool.:cool: After further research, I see a 5 HP difference between 96 and 97+. Now, from what I've read, the "sawteeth" casting on the end of the heads is a sure sign of Vortec heads. Yeah...

    Electric Fans

    Ok, I don't know what happened, the first time I clicked the link for the wiring harness, it brought me to one for $145! Looked like the prices had sky-rocketed since the original post. The next time it brought me to a different page with one for like $28. :wtf: The price for the Proomp fans...

    Antifreeze/Dexcool

    My co-worker and I were discussing the Dexcool crap earlier tonight. When looking at the two types of antifreeze, he poured each into cups, mixed them together (50/50 mix) and it gelled in minutes. I had that crap in the first car I ever bought new. I owned it until about 60-70k miles. This was...

    5.7L Vortec Superchargers?

    My best friend had one, but sold it with a motor. His was for a 4.3L, but I can't imagine that there is much difference between the two. If you want a Vortec, you're going to have to get lucky, and find one used. This Wynjammer one seems like a viable option. I would like to get one for mine...

    Help please

    Sounds like you're looking for a little more speed from your ride, so upgrading gears will definitely help. I definitely agree with upgrading to the 4L80E, or atleast a good rebuild. If you choose the latter option, just run it until it goes out. Why go through the trouble and expense of...

    Vortec Build- need more power!

    I'm no cam expert or anything, so I can't give very much advice there. Just be aware that you will need a tune after the cam. I saw someone asked about the biggest cam he could use without a tune, so I'm just making sure you are aware of this. The cam I have, I need to change the rockers on, and...

    WTB OEM INSIDE DOOR HANDLE

    I know you bought one, but I found one for a dollar cheaper. :p Pull-A-Part would have saved even more, just might not have lasted very much longer though, at the rate that those stupid things break! :2cents:

    Your ugly tails

    Can you give a little insight on what you are doing, or is that G13 classified? I noticed you don't list any specific year model. Are you looking for all years? I have the stockers from my 96, and maybe another pair from a 92 or 96, not sure, but they're the same thing don't matter. I know I can...

    Inexpensive tune?

    Blackbear seems to be all the rage. Everyone that I have seen who sprung for the tune, has had absolutely NO regrets. Their tune, on an otherwise stock truck, has apparently made very noticeable improvements. The scan cable tune datalogs YOUR vehicle, so when they get the file, they can...

    Brett's 2004 Escalade 6.0 AWD build

    95escahoe, this thing looks great and keeps looking better and better! Love the build thread! You're doing great with it. For a while, I was wondering if you were ever going to buy some headlights. Buying all kinds of other parts, but you held of on those for a WHILE! I love pretty much...

    Cart Before The Horse???

    Yeah, it's defintely worth it to save the carpet. These mats particularly look very classy, and they cover so much area, that if your carpet ever were to get stained, it'd be in very hard to notice areas. I think they will serve you well! :happy107:

    Picked one up...

    Welcome! Congrats on the new ride, but it sucks that it has to go into the shop already! :sad72:

    Cart Before The Horse???

    They look great! Good thing they fit, I doubt they would have let you return them, is they're discontinuing the line.:2cents:

    Goodies in my amazon cart

    Well, that Corsa system you said you will be getting in the future should do it. It's just not going to be cheap. I would follow the suggestions in your other post, about checking out some sound clips. Go on Youtube and check out some of the SUV's in this line, and you should find plenty of...

    Flow master Denali ??

    Oh God no! :hahano: It seems like that's the only muffler brand anyone has ever heard of. Like 80% of all people advising a muffler say "FLOWMASTER!" Coming from owning a Camaro, Flowmaster was the most hated brand for it's restriction. So, my post was not really bullshit. I normally keep a...

    1996 2 Door: Talk me out of it

    08HoeCD does have a very good point. Like I said as well, being an older vehicle it is most likely going to need a little work, or something could be on the verge of failing. I also feel that it is a very good vehicle to be able to find parts for. There are so many cross-over parts from the...

    Yeah, but replying to it got him to post a pic, right? :hahano:

    Thoughts on new hood...

    That looks great Dario!! Love it blacked out! I need some smooth bumpers myself. The Hoe was repainted before I got it, and the molding down the side had been removed, but ofcourse it's hard to remove them without looking stupid with the holes in the bumper. I see that your's used to have them...
