    Z71 Front End Swap

    You're right, I added a comment to my original post to be more clear.

    Z71 Front End Swap

    Yes I was referring to the GMT800 style, since that was what OP was wanting to do, swap NBS LS front end with NBS Z71 front end. There was never any mention of wanting to swap a GMT400 style, so I didn't think to mention that. I'm sure if he had come across one of those, it would have been...

    Z71 Front End Swap

    I guess I assumed there would be the obvious difference between OBS and NBS. We'd be referring to swapping NBS to NBS.

    Z71 Front End Swap

    What's different about the bumpers, grills, etc on the 00-01? Any pictures or info I've seen, they're all the same.

    Z71 Front End Swap

    All of the 00-06 Tahoe and Suburban front ends are the same, they'll all bolt right up. Edit: 00-06 with the GMT800 body style

    06 Silverado Crew Cab Build

    Oh I wish I could have a garage with a lift!!! I can't even fit this truck in my garage and close the door. I have to remove the rear bumper, hitch, tailgate and a brace on the door to get the door closed lol. If I pull my Yukon in there, I can close the door, but only have one way around it...

    01 Yukon Denali Build Thread

    I'm debating removing the rear HVAC in this thing, I was having issues with it and now it seems to have completely failed. I haven't looked into any of it yet, so I don't know if it's the blower that died or what. I do like the idea of removing a bunch of potential leak points for coolant or...

    06 Silverado Crew Cab Build

    Going to swap the old leaky NP149 out tomorrow with the one I picked up. Kind of excited, I get to try out one of those "rent a hoist" places. It's like $50/hr, which doesn't seem too terrible, considering they have all the tools, etc that you'd need. I so badly miss having access to a hoist...

    You're going to have to take it to shops and get quotes. You'll get costs anywhere from $2000 to $20,000 on here. Color change will cost more, do you want the door jambs, underhood done, etc? Is there any damage or rust that needs to be fixed? We couldn't even begin to give you a ballpark...

    Need help troubleshooting

    The broken part in the pic is not at all related to why your vehicle won't move. The sway bar link is for nothing more than vehicle sway, side to side, like while cornering. You could likely have snapped your sway bar link while you were sliding around in the rain. It's at the incorrect angle...

    Brake lines

    I know what it really means, to me it always seemed like prebent would be before bending. The definition of "pre" is before or prior to. So before bending. Like preheating the oven, no you're heating the oven. Whatever, just dumb things I think of lol.

    Will it fit

    Front or rear differential? The front axle tube on the right side is different for the AWD than the 4x4. Rear axle may have different brake setup, so that may have to be swapped over. There is a lot more info we need here before we can really help answer anything. Where is this donor vehicle...

    Service stability message

    Any time you get a message or a dash light come up, you need to scan for codes. No one can tell you what's wrong with anything until you read codes. You need a code reader that can read all modules on a vehicle for anything related to this system. The cheap code readers, and most parts...

    Brake lines

    If you get a prebent brake line, it's a straight brake line then, isn't it? lol

    What’s your cars name?

    The sticker on my Yukon was missing when I took the bezel off. The sticker on my Silverado said Misty.

    06 Silverado Crew Cab Build

    I also got all the chrome BS off finally. Once it started pulling paint off one panel, I got a little careless in removal of the rest since I decided......... now it'll need paint. I decided for a 2 tone look since it would be really hard to match the paint that's already on there since GM had...

    06 Silverado Crew Cab Build

    Small updates..... The NP149 I swapped in has a leak around the front seal on the transfer case, which is actually more of a bushing I guess. I talked to a couple places and it sounds like if that goes bad, there's more issues going on inside than just a worn out seal. So, I got lucky and...

    Replacing Rear Main Seal

    I'd also recommend doing the barbell with the upgraded one from SacCity

    Ran low on oil

    Let's start with the basics..... Check engine light on? When was the last time you replaced spark plugs? What's the overall maintenance history?

    Check Engine Light

    You have an issue with the circuit that illuminates the check engine light. Bad connection on the cluster, wiring, etc.

    4WD to AWD Swap

    I may get around to upgrading the CPVC pipe in there, still going fine though right now. 4auto is automatic 4wd. When you have that selected, you drive normally in 2wd, but once the vehicle detects wheel slip it automatically engaged 4wd.

    Saved from scrap

    No a flashing check engine light means you have a catalyst damaging misfire. Basically you are sending raw fuel right into the cats. That's why the one was glowing. OP fixed a symptom, not a cause. You need to figure out why you have no spark, or not adequate enough spark to properly light...

    Welcome!! Another vote for Timken. That's all I've used on any vehicles for years, never had any issues.

    Rearend upgrade

    I think any of the bigger stuff was all leaf spring, where the tahoe is coil spring. Nothing is going to be bolt in. Sounds like you may just want to start with a bigger platform, like a 2500 Suburban or something. How much are you planning to tow?

    Real Benefits to 91/93 Octane in a regular LQ4???

    I have an LQ4, tuned from Blackbear and usually just run their 87/89 tune. They provide you with both an 87/89 tune and a 91+ tune. So you can swap between the two. They're finishing up a tune for me now on an LQ9, so I am curious to see if they give me both files for that engine as well...
