What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[emoji108] Yeah, just seen that price tag.....I'm gonna pass for now......[emoji23][emoji23]

Yeah that’s about how I feel. I very much would like to get a junkyard 5.3 or a vortecmax and start building that in my garage, but right now it’s hard to justify the cost. It’s a shame I couldn’t keep my old one. Damn core charges. Will see though. Aluminum 5.3 would be slick.

Or aluminum 6.2 would be better!

I want to make a 2wd Tahoe a drift toy/fun mobile. Gutted interior and a hole in the floor for maybe a camaro stickshift. In a 07/08 with a 4L60e, a 6.2 I think wouldn’t bolt up, and if it did you’re gonna really piss it off. I think the only non 5.3 gen 4 that fits a 4L60e is the vmax 6.0?

edit: and I think at that point, doesn’t the vmax have VVT? Something the 07/08s don’t have a harness plug for?

Well......they replaced a spark plug, said that all of the cylinders are losing compression. One is about 50% of what it should be.

So.....besides saving money, what are my options.

I can either

1: drop another engine in it and just keep it as a daily
2: buy a beater/daily driver and slowly work on the Tahoe
3: trade in and buy a new vehicle

I'm wanna keep this and run it into the ground, so it can become my learning vehicle and I can start doing what I want when I get something else.

Trade in value at excellent condition is $4500 on Edmunds for my area. Private is $4800-5000

Its not near excellent condition at all.

I'm just kinda torn, the new suburban was nice and not having to worry about anything going wrong would be a great peace of mind, but at the cost of a hefty payment which would put me at almost paycheck to paycheck, and I don't want that at all.

Get a second opinion from another shop before doing anything

Have them do a compression test I guess?

at least yes, if your going to get a death certificate may as well be certain

@Doubeleive these are the two radios I’ve been looking at. The android would be cool because its essentially a tablet with a bunch of extra equipment. The Sony would be cool because its gonna be way easier to set up.

I just installed the that Sony unit in my 2004 Denali. I love It’s ease of use

X2. Have somebody else look and see if the diagnosis is consistent.
