    6.0 or even better 8.1 swap or 502 swap if you have the money. Building an 8.1 for my 1500 to swap in now

      @@JonCaveman rayler is the way to go when it comes to 8.1 stuff. I highly reco. them . Also just started it pretty much lol just bought the 8.1 engine. Theres a couple of things we have to do in order to make it right.
      Im going to straight axle the truck so it gets tricky with making everything work.
      I believe the passenger side mount will be different and have to figure out the trans. I have a performabuilt 4l60e right now but may go with a 4l80e
      As far as the engine goes before we build it we are gonna do the swap and making sure electrical parts are correct before tearing it down.

    Doing a build like this is 1000 times more satisfying than buying a brand new vehicle and modding it out. Taking an old plain vehicle and updating to the new times is always a head turner. I have a 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 2WD (My only vehicle ever) that i've been improving little by little. It's so satisfying, especially if you do some of the work yourself. Great video and awesome Tahoe!

This is a way to rethink what I'm going to get and just build into what I want over time. Even before you were completely done I would've been happy with just a few of those changes.

Over the course of 2 years, I’ve brought it back from the dead and I’ve modeled it to look similar to yours, if it wasn’t for this video, I probably wouldn’t have a fire lit under my ass to get it fixed and modded, so for that I thank you.

    Nice work Jon! I love the time and vision you put into your Tahoe and did some similar work to mine over the past 10 months. Got a 2004 LT AWD 4x4 with 205,000 miles for $3500. Right away I started getting engine faults and spent about $4K trying to fix them. Eventually I gave up and since the truck was running like poo, took it in to see what could be done. Got the news I needed a new engine, and my wife and I decided that since we were in for a dime...we were in for a dollar. Just got her buttoned up for the year. Really in love with the truck now and happy we got it all done. Runs like a champ!
    Here's the list so far on the "Mountain Hoe": 6.0 Swap by Colorado Engine * MagnaFlow 3” CatBack Exhaust by Colorado Engine * BDS 4.5 Lift with Fox 2.0 & Dual Stabilizers by Colorado OffRoad * KMC Panzers 17x9 wrapped in 33” KO2s * Kenwood DNX996R and Viper Remote Start by PDARoadgear * Yakima HD Bars and Warrior Rack * Viper CCFL/LED Exterior Lighting (all around) * AMP Research PowerSteps * 4.10 G2 gears by High Country 4x4 * Tune by AI-Racing * //

    This looks awesome. I just scored a 2001 Tahoe for $2,000 in very good shape and considering some of these mods. Definitely putting in step bars, bull bars, new wheels and tires eventually. Not sure I can afford a lift though it would be badass. Tahoes are underrated. Mine has 260,000 miles (all cali and oregon miles) and it purrs like new.

    Watched your video. I kept looking for the axle gear swap. I would have done lift, tires, gear's at same time when especially jumping to 35's and perhap's a ARB in the rear. Detroit Tru Trac gear limited slip only rated for 33's. So you would have to go with a selectable air or electric locker. Unless you don't plan on jumping the 4x4 in a mud hole.

    • @JonCaveman
      @JonCaveman  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the info. I was working with a shop here in NJ to build a custom rear axle for me and regear to 4:88 in the process, but they flaked on me (I've been having trouble finding a decent shop that will follow through). I was supposed to have all that work done in October of last year. Now I'm talking to some folks down in TN about my custom axle but it's delayed everything. 🤨
