This is the yukon i traded my 13 ccsb in on.... It is the kid carrier/road trip vehicle so probably not going to go too nuts on it some little mild stuff here and there as time and money permit.....
The night i test drove it and sign paperwork
The tahoe they gave me to drive while the put the yukon through predelivery stuff, in retrospect i shouldve probably gone ahead and gotten it or the burgandy one they had, but as you can see by my camaro on the right i have a thing about black vehicles!!!
Next on the list is dod delete and lq9 cam while im there, unless i come across a 6.0/6.2 6l80 w/ harness cheap before then(not likely but never know, one can dream) plan on vette servo, cold air intake/air box upgrade something to help her flow a bit better. I have a non dod valley cover ordered.... $34, will order my lifter trays tomorrow, $6.50/each.... Then need some lifters, head, valve cover, timing cover and water pump gaskets, a set of head bolts crank bolt, and the time to do it and money to get it tuned.....
Almost forgot the door handles on all 4 doors are peeling, the dealership gave me a set of chrome handles, wishing i had talked them into the black textured handles instead, but i will probably install the chrome ones thus week sometime unless i can find someone that wants to trade them for some black textured ones.... Also have to replace all of the power socket covers, every damned one of them is broken!!
Looks like my dod delete may have been postponed, my buddy finally decided to show back up with my lq9 cam i had given him to put in his 2000 tahoe (which hes now tlking about either trading in or going a whole different direction with) and it looks like crap, looks like it sat on a rag or cardboard box and has some slight surface rust on it, hoping i can soak it in some trans fluid or penetrating oil and clean it up, if not i will probably have to wait til i get the cam for my 99 and take the cam thats in it now and stuff it in the yukon, hopefully it acts better in the 5.3 than it does in the 6.0.... Still hoping to clean up the lq9 cam though..... Have seen worse cleaned up and used....
On another note i got to looking in depth at the tube from the air box to the throttle body,why did gm feel the need for three separate baffles on the nnbs, theres one that runs the length of the engine under the engine cover another that hangs off the front of the tube and another that faces the ac compressor.... I had seen an aftermarket tube somewhere that replaces that, and maybe the lid wanna say it was a gm performance parts piece not sire though.... Thinking about fguring out how to delete the baffles and replace the accordian looking portion of the intake tube with something a bit smoother and opening up and sealing the front of the box, figure it will be a fraction of even a cheap cai.. Ideas??
Got my lifter trays and valley cover in today, too busy to take pics today but will get some tomorrow, as for my cam... Back to drawing board, my buddy not soaking the cam has screwed it past point of being salvaged.... i should have my lifters by end of weekend though..... Still amassing parts for my dod delete..
