Gotcha. Having a 6.2l limits the space that I’m able to work with, and pretty much eliminates the idea of long tubes for mine. We will be eager to see your work once you get finished.

By the way…the wifey and my uncle both said hello and have recently been seen rockin’ their “Team USA” shirts.
Thanks for the support! I'm eager to get this build done, as I'm moving outta state and house is under contract, so I'm on a time crunch! Getting as much done as I can, before we tow to my mechanic to custom build exhaust, install external fuel pump, and program the puter.

Used my day old electric impact wrench to do a tire test on thecopcar. I’d noticed a slight vibration at about 80 or so a few weeks ago. When I had the tpms sensors replaced and tires rebalanced, the vibration changed. A little bit.

today I swapped the Eagle RSAs from theothertwin onto it and went for a drive. I was at 90 before I knew it. No vibration. I had been worried something in the front end was giving me a sign.

The 6.2 is externally the same dimensions as the 5.3 and 4.8. They're all the same, even up to the 7.0. A 6.2 could use larger primaries than what would normally be used on engines of a smaller displacement. But, that's typically 1 7/8" versus 1 3/4". That's only 1/8" difference in diameter meaning a mere 1/16" closer to whatever might be near that primary tube. They pretty much all feed into a 3" collector. Many use 1 7/8" on their 5.3s. You're gonna need a better excuse to not get them catted Kooks or ARHs you've been eyeing! :p

Anyone ever get a steering wheel angle sensor code, C0710-5A, when changing tie rods? Got the code while changing out the tie rods on the Sierra. Well, it came on during the test drive. As my daughter was pulling out of the driveway for a test drive, we heard a rhythmic rubbing sound which turned out to be the rotor rubbing the pads unevenly. The light came on after going around the block twice.

Today it was learned that she did not tighten the tire properly, it was askew and we fixed that. The previous owner removed the screw that keeps the rotor tight against the hub. The new screw could not get through the rust and I could not find my metric tap and die set to clean up the threads. We left it off. After triple checking the tire, it on properly and securely now.

With the lift, we had to cut down the inner and outer tie rods 1/2 inch each. It was still too long, so we used the belt sander to cut them down the rest of the way until they matched the old ones. Ran out of light, driver's side is done.

Truck also has a current and often historical code for the throttle position sensor, P0121-00. Not sure what might have caused that. Drive's fine though.

Guts look great(other than the g80 govbomb, typical amount of metal stuck to the magnets for 139kmi. New felpro gasket.
40 thousandths backlash is a bit tight. (.006-.010) and strange for the miles...
Drivers side axle seal has a slight leak.
Parking brake shoes have delaminated.
Sauced it up with amsoil and re-blackened the cover.
Stripped off the cut garbage from the wrecking yard.

installed the SS3 max fog lights on the Silverado, I would imagine the results would be very similar for the tahoe/yukon version they would be the same light pods
