Hi From Russia!

I am very glad that have found your site. A lot of the interesting and necessary information I have gathered for myself. I am the owner of trucks GM throughout 10 years. There were Chevrolet Tahoe '95, Chevrolet Saburban 6.5 diesel, GMC Yukon XL '03, Chevrolet Tahoe '07, and now I'm owner of the Escalade ESV'07.

It is a lot of admirers of the American cars In Russia. There are many clubs of fans of the American cars in Russia. Such clubs as http://freedomcars.ru/ , http://www.chevy-clan.ru/mainsite/index.php , http://www.cadillac-club.ru/forum/index.php and etc.

 

In Russia the American cars cost more expensive considerably, than in the USA. My Caddy'07 cost to me 60 000 dollars, for example.

However many the American cars cost, I will buy all the same GM trucks)))) With GM I walk on life)))

photos of my trucks)))

This truck has been brought from the USA and was the car drowned in water. It had 6L motor and a 4L80E

For restoration I have got in the USA a crashed GMC Sierra'03 with Duramax and Allison.

These Duramax and Allison I have introduced in my Chevy.

Work on Duramax and Allison installation lasted about 6 months. And now the truck on the move.

Cool! What kind of trucks they use in russia commonly?

 

In Russia like trucks . Commonly, Tahoe, TrailBlazer, Escalade, Ford Expedition, Explorer, Excursion, Navigator.

But there are not enough pickups in Russia.

Pickups are more expensive, than SUV.

That 2004 is going to be nice. You do not see many crew cab long beds around.

Thanks!

Moreover, as far as I know, there are no GM-trucks (not Dually) crew cab with a long bed and Duramax.

After purchase, I immediately removed the bull bar,set the original wheels.

Also, set the original rear-view camera and dual remote control start.

That is a good looking truck. No worries about being stranded in those cold Russian winters ;-)

 

Sorry to hear about the Cadillac, that is a very rare situation (i.e. having to replace many parts).

    • Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?
    • How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit. 
    • Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that? 
    • What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way to big should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crosing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...
