awesome build man. Talk to me more about that supercharger you got under the hood. I have been having a hell of time finding a good reliable one for my 2002 tahoe. As far as i know a lot of the mainstream superchargers on the market are made specifically for 03-06 models.

But it's metal and actual real chrome where the grille is a fake chrome coating over the plastic. It's like painting a chrome bumper. Rarely works. Or better yet look into powder coating
might i suggest good old plasidip ? I did it on by chrome bumpers 6 months ago and its still holding on well.

It depends on if you have drive by wire or drive by cable. 02 was hit or miss. All the blowers are made for DBW. If you have DBC you’re out of luck unless you do a conversion. I was lucky.

Changed the oil today and sent off a sample to Blackstone Labs. It’s been about 800 miles since I installed the most expensive catch can on Earth and I’m not sure if Im disappointed that it didn’t get much or glad that my PCV system seems to be pretty clean. Looks like an ounce or two.

yo, what fluid do you use in your transfer case np149 right? i hear autotrak II and dex 3 was from factory... but then later gm said to run MTF in the NP149. fwiw i see a lot of people saying the autotrak II seems to quietest/smoothest.
