    96 2 door Tahoe ls swap

    I believe I used regular truck hoses from 2003 and up. I purchased a coupler to splice in the top hose for the steam line from the heads

    Oil pressure is important because the gmt400 ecm needs to see oil pressure before the fuel pump will fire up.

    96 2 door Tahoe ls swap

    I’m using the 96 harness to read the sensors to my gauges. The ls harness only runs the engine once it’s started. I put an adapter on the block to read oil pressure on the back of the block(the ls ecm doesn’t need it). I used an adapter on the passenger head to read coolant temp (the ls ecm uses...

    It’s a reworked factory gen4 harness

    I just printed out the stuff from LT1 swap on google. Traced everything down and it was pretty simple. My Speedo still doesn’t work because I need another vss signal but it’s been working great

    Completely different. The threaded end is bigger than the hole itself. Makes me wonder why is the nbs ball joint stud so small

    Btw I didn’t just slap those rusty knuckles on. I disassembled them, vapor degrease, abrasive blast with 180 grit, ream the top ball joint hole, zinc nickel plated both, painted black, reassembled and mounted.

    So I decided to do the nbs brake knuckle upgrade because I run into brake fade and molten hot rotors every time I do some spirited driving. Last time I tried to slow down from over 130mph I warped both the tiny drilled and slotted rotors. The back hold up fine but since they are disc conversion...

    Some pics of the recent stuff I did. I’ve taken care of what I feel are most of the weak points so I’m seeing a turbocharger in the near future.

    I didn’t make the mounts. I just used an Escalade rear end with the mounts built onto it already. The first time I installed the sway bar I used exhaust clamps on the axle. It won’t let me post the pics I have so I’ll try again in a few.

    So it’s been a while and I decided to build a nice unit before my oem one craps out. It’s a 4l65e and I’m rebuilding it with a nice kit and I also just finished rebuilding a transfer case. I’ll mount the two when the weather gets better or I can move things around in the garage to do it indoors

    Good to know. My 408 was at 503 before the detune. Right now it’s dialed in with a tbss cam for a nice DD. So far my setup has been great but next weak link will be the trans/transfer case. I might modify a support to run a 6l80e or 4l80E. Whichever route I go it will have to keep 4x4

    I decided to knock this out during the summer because I daily my motorcycle. During bad weather I drive my Escalade or 2500hd.

    I saw that as well but I wanted a oem look and fit. Exhaust claps also may shift under a lot of stress

    I decided to park the old girl for some necessary rust repair. I’m not a pro by any means. It’s my work truck so it was a rush job

    Decided on using the tbss cover since I have the tbss intake. Doesn’t look bad I guess

    I sent the harness out using a service on eBay. They removed all unnecessary wiring and flash the ecu according to my mods and request. I removed the vats(vehicle anti theft system) rear o2 and emissions.

    96 2 door Tahoe ls swap

    Removed the front diff and replaced it with a low mile unit from an Escalade. I replaced the stub axle bearings and seals while it was out. Reason for swap was the new rear end is 3.73 and the old front was 3.42

    I used a late gmt400 suburban sway bar. I think it was like a 98. All I needed was the frame brackets and made my own mounts on the axle. I used a 99 Escalade rear end later on and installed the true trac in it.the Escalade rear had the mounts already from factory

    I also converted the rear to disc brakes using a 2003 Silverado donor.

    Refreshed the rear end with new 3.73 gears and a true trac differential. I also took this time to remove the slip yoke and shave it down to remove etching , nickel plate .002 oversize and turned down to oem size(didn’t cost anything, I work in aerospace electroplating)

    What electric fan setup?

    I've looked around and cant find one a good picture of them. I want it to breathe from the fender hole as intended from factory. so far i dont have any complaints from my setup as it uses the oem filter and box.
