1999-2000 Escalade parts - Center consoles, etc

I sold my 1996 K2500 'Poopy' a few weeks back and want to offer these items to the group before posting on ebay or elsewhere. I have two (mostly complete) center consoles for GMT400 style Escalades. One is a decent but-needs-painted unit and the other is a useable, but not so nice condition...

Hello From the UK

Welcome to the site. From the engine pic you have posted this looks to be either a Camaro/Firebird TPI 5.7L V8 with the truck accessory brackets on the front or a Truck 5.7L with the Camaro/Firebird Tuned Port injection installed. The TPI setup could be a decent truck system, due to its...

Occasional slow start

The FPR is inside the intake plenum on the 5.7L Vortec. It is mounted to the side of the Spider manifold itself.

Mine are similar but Victory Red. Did mine 20 years ago. I first did them black when I rebuilt the motor in 1995. My truck had stamped steel VCs because Mark IV BBC. I wanted covers without the logo (like both of yours), but they weren't available at the time. When I redid the motor Red in 2000...

So... I did it

The 4l80e is far superior to the 4l60e. The 4l80e is based off of the TH400, with an added overdrive and electronic control. The 4l60e is a time bomb ticking. Every one of them fails. Sometimes more than once. Nobody has luck with them, even if built pretty stout. If you were running a...

99 burb Vortec No Crank

The only reason I suggested the bulkhead is I have seen it on S-10s many times. I haven't really seen it on many GMT400s. Once I saw SAATR's post I was pretty certain that would be your issue. I forgot about that relay in the Dist center. I have fixed a few Jeeps with a similar issue. Glad to...
