My 5 Alarm Hoe

[drowssap]

Happy B-Day!! I just want to make sure that it is known that I am the farthest thing from a HF fan boy!! If you find you need a new tool....just check out your local HF and see if it is one of the good one's that they sell and save a ton. I got here too late. I just read up a whole bunch about the actuator and lean conditions! You already figured it out!

Thanks for all the advice fellas I really appreciate it, I'm probably not going to attempt the swap until we move so I can try and do it in a nice warm garage...there's no way my neighbors will go for an engine swap in the street or parking lot

In the mean time, I'll keep looking for a mechanic who's not out to **** me...this is way above my skill level unless I can find someone to help me with a lot more knowledge than me

It's not above your skill level. You can find all the info in others build threads & instructionals throughout the various forums, Like performance trucks. I would rather replace an engine than do all of the little tedious/micro/intensive LED lights & cluster mods that you like to knock out. If you can do that $hit, engine work will be a breeze. Stuff that you can get your hands around. The only thing that will test your patience & intelligence will be the technical side of it. Maybe not even the wiring harness & computers so much as the tuning. If you really want to mod it out, upgrade to the 6-speed heavy duty 6L90 & make it all "talk"
If not the 6L90, at least the beefier 4L80, which may actually be original to some Cadillac and for sure the HD pickups in a 6L combo.

Have your avatars aka profile pics ever been discussed openLy? Is the new 1 the same chick as the 1 before, or diff't?

I'm an electrician by trade so knocking out all the LED mods comes pretty easy to me but swapping out an engine is something I've never done before, I wouldn't even know where to begin...honestly, I don't even know what 6L90 or 4L80 means lol

My old avatar was actually my wife, lets just say she wasn't to happy when she saw her pic on a car forum lol...the new chick is just some random hewa

The only way I would even attempt it is if I had someone who actually knows these motors like the back of their hand...I can do simple shit but don't wanna destroy 2 engines from lack of knowledge

I've been looking around for a used duramax engine if it would fit...I've always wanted a diesel

That picture I'm sure was meant for YOU ONLY! LOL

Look for an LBZ Duramax with the Allison transmission out of a 2007 Classic. It's the ultimate for the GMT800s, 360 HP and 660 Torque.
