    Bowtie Brody's Namesake 96 454

    Throw that gas guzzling 454 in a boat, get yourself a LQ4 and put a cam in it with some long tubes and a tune. When I put my 6.0 in my 98 ecsb it was like a whole new truck! I could go on and on about mods you should do but unfortunately money is a precious commodity these days, so stick with...

    04 Escalade 6.0 AWD build

    Good to see there are still people out there who care about customization and fine details. I have the same LQ9 that's in your truck and I absolutely love it! I highly recommend a tune and some long tubes to wake it up. Your caddy is looking seriously tough, good work! Sent from my iPad using...

    What kind of headlight bulb?

    My review thus far for the Auxbeam LED bulbs. First and formost, like I said, they are incredibly bright and almost too bright. I have the housings pointed down pretty far and I occasionally get flashed by on coming drivers when my low beams are on. Some people say that they should only be used...

    What kind of headlight bulb?

    I just installed some Auxbeam F-16 LED lights (9005/9006) and so far the brightness is incredible compared to halogens. I haven't had a chance to road test and adjust the housings but so far the install was super easy and even though I only have 10.5 volts to the lights while the engine is...

    FastOrange: 1998 ECSB Build Thread "Project: Leftovers"

    Nice little short bed! I also have a 98 ecsb but I got rid of that gutless 350 and put a 6.0 LQ9 in it and what a difference!! It's hard for me to get traction in wet snowy/icy conditions because of all the extra power haha! Highly recommend that swap!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Are SAS Suspensions This Bad?

    A friend of mine has a SAS'd 95.5 ecsb but he has gas coilovers that are adjustable from racetrack stiffness all the way to your grandpas Cadillac. So in my honest opinion I wouldn't mess around with leaf springs. Besides leaf spring "technology" came out some time in the 1700s I think. Sent...

    LS Swap Harness Help

    Any update on your wiring? I finished my swap last year and I just got back from Korea so I'm cleaning up my wiring now. I swapped an '05 LQ9 into my 98 Z71

    speaker upgrade??

    I'm also in the search for some decent speakers for my '98 ecsb but I'm doing the whole truck. There's a small part of me that wants to match everything like we did back in the day. I think my truck had the premium sound package because it seems like it has a component style speaker set in the...

    building 5.7 for 96 sierra

    4.8? Why not just go with a 5.3? You can get one from just about any junkyard these days for cheap, they have more power and better economy than a 5.7 and in most cases they'll bolt right up to your transmission. I just swapped my 5.7 vortec to a 6.0 LQ9 in my 98 ecsb and it wasn't that bad. It...

    6.0 LQ9 / 4L80E in my 98

    Not to butt in here...but if you're looking for decent cam advice, rather than just buy a similar cam to what someone else is running, contact the company who grinds the cams (aka Comp) and tell them exactly what your setup is and what you expect out of the vehicle. Each setup is different and...

    Budget SAS swap questions

    A leaf setup would be easier to build and somewhat cheaper but you won't ever match the ride quality and off-road capability of linked coilover setup Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Budget SAS swap questions

    The front end on the GM full size trucks (and blazers) are almost identical except that the front of the frame rails are straight on the 4WD and curved on the 2WD.

    REBUILD OR REPLACE

    I guess it largely depends on your budget. I just pulled my 350 out this weekend and now have my 6.0 LQ9 sitting pretty in its place. Doing the swap is pretty intimidating but also pretty exciting. It took a lot of research on multiple forums to come to the conclusion that I needed to upgrade to...

    4l60e to 4l80e conversion article from Four Wheeler

    I'm in the middle of doing my LQ9 swap now with a 4L60E but I'll be swapping to the 80 later this year. I know for a fact that you have to have your stock driveshaft shortened or find one that's already short enough. And in addition you need to lengthen your front driveshaft slightly. It's all...

    4l60e to 4l80e conversion article from Four Wheeler

    I second that question. I keep researching on ls1truck getting ready for my 5.7 to 6.0 swap. I'm leaning towards the 4L80E more and more Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    97 chevy cummins swap

    The question is, what will you drive to work while you're doing the swap? Don't think it's just going to happen in a weekend. I agree with Michael Hurd, buy a decent little running car with working a/c and heating and drive it till the wheels fall off. I'm not saying don't do the swap, I just...

    Firewall connector pinout

    So I've been searching for about two hours now and haven't been able to find a pinout diagram (even on lt1swap.com) of the connector that goes through the firewall on the driver side. I changed the whole harness in the truck and the pins in the donor harness connector are not the same as the one...

    Fuel Gauge Issue

    Is that the only fix to the "hummingbird vibration" is to replace the gauge itself? I'm having that issue now. Not to mention, my gauge has a case of mistaken identity because I have a 25 gallon tank and the gauge goes from full to empty after only 16 gallons. I'm thinking that its something I...

    LQ4 vs. LQ9...the obvious questions

    Ok so I picked up the LQ today and I'm wondering if there are casting #s on the block that verify it as being an LQ9 as opposed to an LQ4. I know the 9 has flat top pistons versus dish pistons on the 4, but without pulling the heads to look at pistons are there other sure fire signs of knowing I...

    Who wants an offroad bumper!?!

    I would but I'm married LOL!! But seriously though, every time I think of buying a welder, I think of the parts I could buy for my truck with that money. And vice versa...it's a vicious cycle

    starting my sas 3 link with coilovers, have a few question

    Lookin good! Just curious though, why the 14 bolt SF and not FF? I found a FF on craigslist for next to nothing. With big tires like that, if you break a rear axle on the trail, you're looking at having a 3 legg'd dog. And is the 44 in front the HD? You have 6 lug wheels, and showy rims just...
