    Interior parts replacement - window switch bezel

    Ok, I am still learning how that site works.... this is what it tells me works for my vehicle, I think. Right/pass - 89045140 Left/driver - 89045137 And no, I haven't been using my VIN. Maybe that would be better. <edit> Those show discontinued - and the numbers bring up no results on Ebay...

    Interior parts replacement - window switch bezel

    Yes, but GMPartsDirect says it does NOT fit my Tahoe. I cannot find on there what they say DOES fit.

    Interior parts replacement - window switch bezel

    The clip support, they are attached at the front, but they keep working their way out sideways from the rear. <edit> So I am assuming... my door panels have been taken apart more than a Lego set in a daycare. It is currently 45 minutes away getting a new motor installed, but based on the...

    Interior parts replacement - window switch bezel

    So this Ebay auction sure looks like the right parts, but the numbers say they don't fit my vehicle. Trying to figure out the differences and which part number I need is tough. <edit> In some auctions that part number looks like it fits, in others it doesn't. I think the 'compatibility' list...

    Interior parts replacement - window switch bezel

    So the portion of my driver's and passenger door panels that hold the window switch have broken clips inside, I need to replace them. Here is the part I am talking about, in the center of this picture, with the switches inside it. Not the switch mechanism, but the overlying tan trim panel or...

    Help me prepare for my motor swap.

    So everything is delivered to my installer, I've been up there a couple times this week (it's a 45 minute drive or so) and as of Thursday night when I dropped off my last parts - fuel pump, knock sensor harness and belt tensioner - he had the motor in the bay with the new motor mounts installed...

    Help me prepare for my motor swap.

    Yeah my ECU already has a stock Escalade tune for the 6.0 on it. I went ahead and bought the fuel pump... I don't know if I NEED it, but since I am going on a 2500 mile trip in 3 weeks, I don't want to get screwed by being cheap.

    Help me prepare for my motor swap.

    Ok, so I was pretty confused for a bit when researching this fuel pump. Using the Esky or Yukon I can look at the 6.0, but it shows a different fuel pump - with 3 fuel line/hose connections, a flat 4-prong connector and flat 3-prong connector... Delphi part FG0808. This is the same pump as the...

    OMG! New Cluster! I am Sooooo Happy! :-)

    I don't see a pic just like mine... I did the Escalade premium with the carbon backing, blue lights and blue needles.

    Placed my order with DDS today, too.

    Help me prepare for my motor swap.

    Correct... the L59 is in an '04 Tahoe LT. Dropping the LQ9 in to replace it, as I blew a head gasket, presumably after changing the thermostat a few days before an out of town trip. Incidentally, it had the slow leak from the Castech 706 heads defect, but I had been maintaining coolant levels by...

    Help me prepare for my motor swap.

    Yes, mine is VIN Z, so that should mean Flex fuel. Turns out that my fuel pump apparently has up to double the pressure/flow of the 2500 one, according to specs on the parts store computer. 70 vs 35 (psi? gph? something). I really don't want to add yet ANOTHER $200 part and couple more hours...

    What are these clips called, and where do I get them?

    So the white u-shaped clips here... what are they called? 18 years old in a hot engine bay, they're kinda brittle and... well... you can guess. Spent about 30 minutes at the parts store with the guy tonight trying to figure out the name - we struck out. I assume when I get a name or...

    Help me prepare for my motor swap.

    Should I do my fuel pump while I have all this going on? Any concerns about an 18 y/o fuel pump and upgrading motor, etc? I mean, it's the same intake and injectors, fuel rails, etc. Looks like the 2500 Suburbans and such have a different fuel pump - I don't know if there's a reason for that...

    Window rollup - should I replace the motor?

    No, my doors have been worked on a number of times. I have a major stereo system and we've rebuilt the doors at least 4 times that I know of - from in-door fiberglass pods to now having dual 6.5" midbasses, sealed up door holes with sound deadener sandwiched in aluminum sheeting and a large...

    Help me prepare for my motor swap.

    Recommended break-in oil or break-in additive for this motor? I've read it's really not as important for remans if they haven't been bored out, it's not technically a "new" surface, so it's essentially already been broken in, just need the rings to seat properly. Open to ideas, though. Looks...

    Window rollup - should I replace the motor?

    The side felt sliders... I wonder if that would make things better. $32 for one of those.... $80 for a reg.... $40 for a motor (but $80 for the rear????)....

    4 Piston Big Brake Upgrade from 2019-20

    Ed Zachary... I like my wheels. If the '20 calipers don't fit, I'll look at the '07 ones, or look for other options.

    Window rollup - should I replace the motor?

    So my pass window has been a PITA for years. It binds up and stops, especially when it's cold out, or even 'cooler'. So I have a window rollup module on my alarm which allows me to just 'tap' it to roll completely up or down and not have to hold the switch. The problem is, it doesn't allow me...

    Help me prepare for my motor swap.

    So if I'm reading right, I shouldn't need to change anything, correct? The one I have should bolt up without modification?

    Help me prepare for my motor swap.

    So I emailed the builder and he got right back to me - this was his reply: "We don’t use the 1999 or 2000 6.0L engine cranks for rebuilding engines. These are the longer “4L80” only cranks. A Dished 3 bolt (For the torque converter) and no spacer is needed." I'm not sure what that means...

    Help me prepare for my motor swap.

    Mine is a 4L60e, a 2004 Tahoe 5.3L. So what do I do? How do I check this and what do I do about it? It's been delivered and it is at my friend's house who is doing the swap. He is about 20 miles away and I can't get up there until tomorrow evening, probably, but I am headed that way then to take...
