It is about time

I posted my pics in the pic form HERE It went so smooth. All except for the body bolt that snaped rying to take it out. Luckily it was the back one by the bumper and we were able to jack the side up and get to it over the bumper. We had to torch it and use some Vice Gips and Tons of strenght to get it out. That was the only hickup. I am compleatly thrilled with it. Just gonna be a P.I.T.A. when it comes tim to work on the motor and Shtuff. But it was so worth it. We also installed a 2" P.A. lift on my buddies 99 S-10 Blazer. Looks really good as well. Any way I am gonna go relax. I have worked 20 hours on trucks this weekend. Yea my buddies Blazer was not as easy as mine. Well It hurts to type so I am out a here.

It looks really good Brandon. It is about time, lol

 

I have been trying to get mine worked on, but I just havent had the time, working 10 hour days almost 6 days aweek at times can really cut out any extra time you might plan on having. So, since I will have an extra set of wheels next week, I will be starting in on hopefully tuesday (the 8) and have it done by wed night, depending on whether or not I have to work all hours of those two days, lol

 

 

Looks very sharp! not cheap or anything! I think that your Tahoe is really looking sharp.

Thanks Guys. Bad Bowtie. It is terrible that we have had to wait so ling to put them on. You have been waiting longer than I did. It was killing me seeing it sit on my entertainment center. It started calling my name at night. :) It was really not hard to put on. It only took me around 6 hours to do mine. And I only had one other person helping. Good luck and let us know how it looks.

 

Later,

Brandon

    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
    • Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."
