2006 Escalade ESV 2500 Platinum Build

Still tons of work to do, but it's back together well enough to roll it around. Had two spare 285/70R17 BFGs to throw on the H2 Special Edition wheels, so I mounted those.

I love that color, what is the name and code(whenever you get a chance, no hurry!). I wish GM had offered this on the 400s, but I've just seen it on later 800s and early 900s. I want to paint my old(1953) GMC pickup this color because it looks so good on curvy body lines and contours. Thanks!

I've abandoned the fruitless search for a reasonably priced 4L80e/NP246 combo from behind an LQ4, and instead have decided to use the known good 80e from the 97 Suburban and a much more common locally available 27 spline NP246.
TransGo HD2, 4L80e flexplate and crank spacer showed up today. I snagged a 2003-06 NP246 on Sunday, and ordered 32 spline input shaft, 6 pinion planetary, overhaul kit, and a case saver today.

Looks like I'll need early LS fuel rails (99-03?) to work with the fuel system on the 01 frame and I need to find replacement tank to engine fuel lines.
Looking at part number applications, it looks like the 2001 ABS pump is fine but I will need a newer ABS module to work with the 03+ electronics.

Riptide Blue is what it's called on the Cadillacs. Same as Bermuda Blue on the Tahoe/Suburban.
