OR VietVet Is Still Throwing $$$ at 2005 Z71

[OR VietVet]

It is a pet peeve of mine. Gotta have no leaks. That is why if I was buying a used rig I will never do so if the engine bay has been detailed. I expect to see a leak or two and want to see them. I love informed decisions. So far, I have used Fel-Pro gaskets throughout the work. Before it is put back together, cleanliness is next to Godliness, IMO.

I hope to be taking a break from all this work after this is done. I am ready for a few trips to the coast and a break for about 3-4 months.

Ok, just finishing up for the night and on to the hydro-boost and master cylinder tomorrow night: Did some electrical cables and our own version of better electrical flow. We had already, basically I did, went and found each and every ground under and around and disassembled, clean thoroughly, replaced connectors as needed and then reinstalled good and tight.

Well, that was a read for sure. Kind of wish I had timed it. I do absolutely LOVE what you're doing here sir.
I'm in the process of reviving my 02 Z71 for my fishing excursions down the islands in Texas. I should've documented it all but it's too late for all that now. You have given me some ideas though on things I will likely get into once this motor refresh phase coming up is completed next month. Keep us informed, it's great to see and I am definitely interested and watching as I'd assume others are.

Tomorrow night we will be replacing all the ignition coils as well. I will have several things/items that are still in great shape but used and will be selling them. If small enough I can also arrange to ship. I will post the pics and list in the "parts for sale" section when I get it all home from the shop.


You can also see the new P/S pump too.

I don't know about you but I really like to look down in there and see my new UCA, LCA, axle shaft and tie rod, that was just done.

What is that sensor that's plugged in for? For charging? Think I saw RVG on it.

Regulated Voltage Control, new in 2005, I think.

Wow so your thread. Lots of work!
Basically time for me to replace both. Thanks.

I quoted you but the other post was transferred as well and I cannot figure out how to delete it.

Anyway, that is like an amp clamp. It was on the rig when I bought it. It was explained to me that since we added a third ground wire, that all three grounds run through it and are monitored and sends info to the computers on the rig. I did try to search the GM part number but could not find the factory description.

Then I posted this and saw @Fless described it better than maybe I could.

Thx guys. I thought that was strictly an nnns thing. My 03 definitely doesn't have that. Just more stuff that would break imo.
