The truck was brought to Nelson Performance today for an A/C diagnostic and a fine tune, and I couldn't be happier. We've been to multiple shops in Texas from Dallas to Houston to San Antonio and...
I've been silent on here for a long time since buying my first diesel truck and getting wrapped up in that. But I'm back with great news.
The single cab finally got a proper Tremec 6 speed and a...
My advice would be to get a v8 harness for your 01 and keep the drive by cable peddle. It's more trouble than it's worth to switch to DBW. If you get a 99-02 harness and throttle body, everything...
My truck originally had a 4.3 with a DBC throttle body. I attempted to switch over to DBW when I did my swap and it was more headache than it was worth. To switch to DBC you would need a 99-02 PCM,...
Have you checked for any vacuum leaks? Double check the hose running from your brake booster to the back side of the intake by the firewall.
Hey metalchips, I finally swapped over to the correct oil pressure sending unit. My gauge reads about 42 pounds at idle and 60+ when I get on the throttle. That tick is still present only when the...
Get yourself some ARP connecting rod bolts as well. As far as the PCM I'd recommend Nelson Performance. They know what they're doing and most importantly have good customer service.
Nice truck, she's looking clean. Are those factory Impala wheels? I like those especially with the red on the center caps.

I just did this same swap on my truck last year. You should post some pictures of your's I'd like to check it out.
I apologize for the month late reply houston. Here are some pictures and part numbers of everything I used, by the way I ordered through summit.
Keep in mind this is on a 2000 Silverado with a...
I did this on my 2000 silverado. I used some tube to AN fittings from Earls Performance and some pre-made stainless fuel lines. Here's an example of one of the fittings I used..

So the W doesn't mean water? Well I'll be damned. No girlfriend for now, and being in a small town, you know what they say.. "You don't lose your girl, you just lose your turn." Looks like I've lost...
The engine has 74,000 miles. Although I bought it from a junkyard so who knows how it was treated. Oil pressure and compression are good on it. And I'm running 5/30 mobil 1 and a mobil 1 filter....
After 1200 miles on my lq9 swap my engine developed a metallic tick. The sound only becomes noticeable around 190-200 degrees. My thoughts were a bad lifter, or possibly a bad o ring on the oil pump,...
Nice ride! Good job on the intake, Looks clean being smoothed out. What coil relocation brackets did you use?
Take a look at the Comp XR269HR on a 114LSA
Get some new valve springs, LS6 springs will work and are affordable. Also get some hardened pushrods.
And get that sucker tuned.
Man there are so many variables when it comes to choosing a cam. That being said, regardless of which cam you choose I would absolutely pay the extra money to get it tuned right. For anyone else to...
Wiring harness - Your stock 5.3/60e harness will work, I know a 60e to 80e adapter is out there. The 05 harness can work, but in my opinion it is not worth the trouble. You can also find an 02-00 6.0...
My brother has a 4.8 with a flowmaster catback that exits in front of the rear tire and surprisingly there was very little drone. Obviously in your case your setup will be louder, but from my...
Nice build! Everything looks really clean, including the Durango. I have a feeling you'll surprise a few people on the street.
Here's what looks to be a solid write up courtesy of Street and Performance that can help answer a lot of your questions.

I'm running 2 Borla pro xs's on my lq9 with long tubes, 2.5" pipe, and no cats and I couldn't be happier. The setup is quiet down low with minimal drone and screams once you open it up
I am looking at selling the truck in my signature this coming spring. What do you think it's worth? The truck has 99k miles on it, engine has 74k. Almost everything on the truck has been replaced....
Just as the title says. If money were no object, what would be your dream truck? How would you build it?
Mine would be a wine red 68 C10 small window, straight bed. Schwartz frame, LS7, T56, 12...
The most common transmission you'll find behind a 4th gen 6.0 truck will be a 6l90, RPO code MYD which you can find in the glove box if you get a chance to look. There are a lot of different transfer...
