  1. A Lot of custom built engines are going to have short warranty periods if any warranty at all. This is due to the fact that they can not control how it was tuned, supporting modifications, Installation, and many other factors that are uncontrollable after it leaves their shop.

     

    As mentioned A replacement is the way to go. Either a low mileage used one from someone like LKQ or A New Remanufactured unit through the dealer or some other source.

  2. Its the one on the bottom right of the picture. Hangs off the side of the tranny and goes over the tranny crossmember to catch the 2 cat mounts. Maybe its and AWD only thing? (Pic stolen from google)

     

    No, it was on 2WD models as well.

     

    I won't be able to get to it until this weekend but I can get you a picture of one from one of my truck. It mounts on the Passenger side of the trans with 2 bolts and catches the end of the catalytic converter pipes on the true dual exhaust on these trucks.

  3. Come on guys. A racing pinstripe, Roll up windows, and basic work truck seats... It even has the cool Knock off windshield decal.

     

    I have a feeling all that added crap actually makes it less valuable. If I was looking for a Work truck, I wouldn't want any of that crap on there.

  4. Correct me if I'm wrong but if you pull the connection apart don't you have the pins? They are not an option so you have to pin the PCM.

    No, the pins in that connector are different from the PCM pins.

     

    The factory E-fan harness is part of the Main Core support Headlamp Harness. There is then a plug that connects it to the Main Engine Harness where the PCM pins are.

     

    IMO it's better to take the Whole Head lamp harness If you can, as you have to unwrap it to remove that section of it and then you have to either re-wrap it to an existing harness or feed it along on the outside. Then you have to pull an engine harness apart to get the plug with the 2 wires going to the PCM.

  5.  

    I don't plan on selling it, so the resell value isn't the biggest factor. I plan on keep it around to be "Dad's old hotrod". At the point I'm at at the moment, I may wait on the swap until I get my own garage to keep it stored. As of right now, its setting in the drive way with the other two. The LS platform is so so tempting with that kind of horse power, with just a little money. I am seeing used LS motors, with wiring harness, and computers going for $600. Dirt cheap for the gains available.

     

    All the more reason to do the swap in my opinion!!!

     

    Even if you had to sell it, I don't think the LS Swap will hurt it. Alot more people may be intrested as a result of the swap.

  6. A truck like that is only Original 1 time.

     

    From a purist standpoint, If it does not have the original engine or paint the value is significantly less. You can restore the paint and graphics but it still won't be the value of an original in the same shape condition. It would be extremely tough to do a true correct nuts and bolts restoration.

     

    As long as you're not hacking the frame or body to make it fit, I see no reason not to do an LS swap.

  7. Thanks for the info thick cajun, is art a member on here?

     

     

    Yes sir... I can't think of his handle right off the top off my head... Someone will chime in

    WICKEDOWESIX Is Art's user name.

     

    I reached out to a friend about this and ART will make them for us but He says we need 5 Pre Paid orders. None less than 5 to produce these.

     

    I will Take 2 just need to come up with 3 other guys. I don't officially have exact pricing but I do Recall it being around the $500 range.

     

    Material cost is not cheap and that's what a bulk of the money is going towards.

     

    These are way better looking than a Hydro dipped equivalent.

     

     

    If anyone else is ready and willing to Purchase one of these post up.

     

    I will Commit to the first 2 of them. We need a minimum of 3 more guys to make this happen.

  8. Edit: ok I looked closer yes it has a weird cab on it. Image is not reversed. Too bad it's such a basket case 07s are rare.

     

     

    Awh you edited your post... :(

     

    Yes, I saw it online at a salvage auction in Sacramento and it was much clear in those pictures of the dual Antenna's.

     

    Also, I have confirmed 100% with some vin numbers I have saved in my records.

     

    Red and Silver 2007 SS trucks in addition to the Black. Super rare But they do exist in red and Silver for 2007.

  9.  

    Sorry to be "that guy"... but that does appear to be an 06-07(classic). They did make a few SS trucks with the Classic body style for 07. I have personally only seen them in black.

     

    The cab is not 06-07. Also the Door having a blue tag from the state is also a good sign they changed the cab. They are supposed to attach it to the body and not a removable panel.

     

    An 06 should have 1 shark fin antenna on the left side, not dual antennas or a passenger side antenna. That was specific to the 03-05 models. Onstar is on the left and XM is on the right. In 06 they went to a single antenna for both signals. Onstar also went to a digital signal vs. the previous models analog system.

     

    07's are rare and most were black. I have however seen 2 red ones and 1 silver one.

  10. I think he was talking about the 2006 listed. If you look close on the wheels you can see the little "GM" logo on one of the spokes. The wheels and logo look like they were plasti dipped or sprayed what have you....

     

    Oh yes, The GM Mark of excellence badge and wheel weight that have been plastidipped over...00606_eMZ00m9ejo2_600x450.jpg
