06 Tahoe Z71, It begins

[ZEUS1]

yes sorry i have been swamped recently, here we are right now, motor is in, i am working through the wiring, not rushing anything. Also I am currently waiting on some hoses, and other parts before i can completely button it up. With the heat settling in here over the next week or so progress may be a bit slow.

I may have missed it, but what ignition coils are those?

Quick update, have not moved much closer on the Tahoe over the last month, spent most it traveling for work. I did have to move another project into the shop for a bit, but i got that one done.

Had to spin the Tahoe around, and put a wheel seal in a 75 year old tractor.

Got some pressure on the sucker! Great ingenuity! Did the flange make it with bending?

Alright, i am back at it.

Replace power steering hose, install Drivers manifold and plug wires


AC Comp installed, and belts routed.



Starter and drivers side Manifold going in hopefully tonight. Then i will be starting to reassemble the front end. I still have to get my injectors cleaned and flow tested, and the manifold will go on.

Getting closer I can see the light at end of the Tunnel.
