I am gathering parts to return the ECSB back to stock and will be buying a GMT900 RCSB to drop the engine/trans in. So, I'm looking for some parts and some opinions...

Parts needed:

-NNBS coolant reservoir
-Stock wheels...let me know what you have
-AC low side hose
-Lower shield (plastic piece beneath crank pulley)


Also looking for some thoughts on various stuff:

-Driveshaft...stay stock and shorten for 80e or custom?
-What gears? I am thinking I'll stay with 3.73, but open to suggestions


Both these lists will likely be updated

 

I have some 10b 3.73s and the full y pipe off my 99 with cats...

 

Pics of y pipe, miles? Stock GM gears, miles?

 

Not yet, a lot, yes, a lot

 

This guy...

 

You going to get a 4wd or go with a burnout queen 2wd again?

 

I'd love a 4WD, if I can find one.

 

Any particular reason for just sticking to a gmt900 other than the reluctor wheel?

 

Mainly, I like the E38 ECM. The newer processors are way more beefy, so they can handle a ton of data throughput which makes them easier to tune. Lot more versatility in the operating system, IMO.

Plus, I'm a fan of the body style. And not a lot of these trucks are moving real quick yet, except mgonzo's monster build, and probably a handful more.

 

I like the progressive direction your headed. I have the stock 3.42 10bolt with G80 out of my 01 GMC in my garage you can have for CHEAP if you wanna pay the freight.
