busy weekend with the tahoe.replaced/installed:
-alternator with 145a delco 244
-water pump
-big 3
-belt
-all coolant/heater hoses & heater control valve
-coolant flush & tstat
-radiator with silla all aluminum rad($187ebay,welds are a bit ugly,but seem solid)
-pcm with 0411 from lextech
-electric '05 gmt800 fans
-erl and filter
did the pcm on friday night, took about 2 hours.started on first try.runs better, improved idle & throttle response.feels like it shifts smoother.highly recommend.the rest went smoothly, except the new tstat(delco) was defective.wasnt opening till 230*-240*.fans work great.truck is so quiet now.they switch on around 225*-230* which seems a bit high to me, ill have to ask lextech what they are programmed for...still have to make a few brackets for the fans and put on the new shroud.but very happy with the switch so far...
last weekend i replaced all of the steel brake lines, brake hoses, calipers, hawk pads, rotors, wheel cyl, drums & hardware.the brake line to the rear was a pain in the ass
a month or so ago i replaced the ac compressor, lines, condenser, accumulator & switches (with a good amount of assistance from SLC)
