2004 6.0 NV4500 Tahoe
Overheated the crap out of this thing the other day because I thought the gauge was lying to me. Well it wasn’t…….. turns out my coldcase radiator had a tiny leak that I think was coming from where one of the tubes meets the end tank. Of course it’s almost at the bottom of it and so it leaks...- Dantheman1540

Finally broke my window switch for my driver door. It had been acting up for probably a year now. It goes down fine but doesn’t go up because part of the plastic that pushed the actual activator broke off at some point. Well it got worse today and now I’m shopping for a window motor switch for a...- Dantheman1540

Man that thing ain’t cheap, I will seriously consider it tho when I need one again. I’d love to get 5+ years out of something- Dantheman1540

First time I’ve ever had this truck on a lift and god it’s nice doing exhaust not laying on my back. Fixed all but one leak which is a Vband I plan to come back and cut off later and convert to a slip joint. Removed one muffler and ran the exhaust out the back with a turn down. It’s pretty...- Dantheman1540

That was more information than I knew I needed! Makes sense tho and have a battery that is light and can start a vehicle is cool, but blasting my 1000w sound system for three hours is also mucho importante.- Dantheman1540

Two questions for y’all. 1: anybody ever run a lithium battery? I bought a pretty sweet 100ah 12v LiTime brand trolling motor battery that even comes with its own blue tooth app. It has kicked but for me and being a CCP produced battery was under $300, and only weighs 22#! Would be sweet to try...- Dantheman1540

Finally got the Chevrolet center caps in for the new wheels, also swapped out the old keyed lugs nuts for some 2022 OEMs. I think these are my fav wheel setup so far.- Dantheman1540

Other news to report, last week driving Tahoe home the airbag warning light started to come on randomly, then the temp climbed above 210, and volt gauge seemed well below 14. Got it home and the only thing I found was low almost an entire jug of coolant, I haven’t driven it much since the last...- Dantheman1540

No the original Go Devil flathead 4cylinder works great! Starts faster than anything I’ve ever owned. And yes it’s a 1948 CJ2A Yes sir! Before water fowl on dash boards became a thing. No actually I’m sanding the green off to match my crocs. Kinda cool I wasn’t sure what color lay beneath...- Dantheman1540

2004 6.0 NV4500 Tahoe
So I’ve been needing tires for awhile and just really didn’t want to buy new ones because I’m a cheap phuck. A deal popped up on something I’ve wanted since I was probably 5 and part of the deal was to trade my black AT4 20s. Luckily I have my buddies still blown up 408 Denali in my yard so I...- Dantheman1540

Finally got shocks for this thing, they are Bilstein 5165s and I’m pretty happy with them! I need to get some better hardware from the front upper mounts but I was in a rush to get it done tonight for a beach trip tomorrow.- Dantheman1540

Preach brother I’ll go D to P without blinking if it’s that serious that I need to stop right away. Also Florida has no hills so I’m probably never going to get around to even setting up the parking brake.- Dantheman1540

I do wish I had fixed the drums enough to do a good before test, to prove that disks are better. They even look great which is not the reason I did it but a great byproduct. I can’t wait to get a few more things done on it and actually go test it off road. I’m curious if the locker is going to...- Dantheman1540

I finally finished this up last week, made brake lines, relocated a shock mount that I welded in the wrong side of the axle, and bled the brakes. The brakes are great, but I’m waiting on shocks to show up. I ordered 5165s from Wheel Every Weekend, which is the same people that specced my rangers...- Dantheman1540

Things been running great since I hydrated it. It needs tires badly tho, really torn on what to put on it. I like the 275/60/20s but I’m afraid if I get a more aggressive tread it with rub. Then I don’t know why I’d need more aggressive tread, so maybe some michelin defenders. I just want...- Dantheman1540

God I’m so dumb sometimes, so I ended up fixing the ECT issue by repairing a bare wire in the sensor pigtail. While I was doing that I pulled the sensor and let a bunch of coolant run out. After I put it all back together the ECT issue was gone. I drive it for about a full tank of gas over the...- Dantheman1540

I’m either getting good at axle swaps or this was just an easy one. Took about 3hours to get the old one out, and new one bolted in. It’s not done, still needs, shocks, brake lines, diff fluid, and a shock mount relocated because I’m an idiot and welded them both on the front of the axle. But...- Dantheman1540

Axle is all welded up, I was originally going to wait until it had been rebuilt and actually weld everything once it was mocked up in the truck. But instead I just took a crap ton of measurements and used my digital angle finder a lot. I think it will work out. Also maybe one of y’all know...- Dantheman1540

I agree toilet bowl injection is best injection You’re saying you like the big drum but not the little half ton drums? No one specific and I get their reasoning drums can work well. Just not worth the hassle, and if I didn’t already have everything to swap them out I’d probably just have a...- Dantheman1540

I’m starting to get heckled on the GMT40 forum for swapping out my drum brake axle for the H2 with disks and a locker. I didn’t realize how drum brakes had supporters this day and age.- Dantheman1540

Florida is wild when it comes to the registration and titling of vehicles. I walked into a DMV with my aunt who just became the executor of the will. Within 10 minutes we walked out and the truck was titled and registered to me. No mention of it being totaled or needing an inspection. Woot...- Dantheman1540
