Engine, trans, and tcase have been delivered, a day early! I looked them over and here's a list of stuff, we've already discussed some of it. - you need a new set of flexplate to TQ bolts, they are allen head I guess and some stripped and had to be plasma'd out - you need a new flexplate, because he nicked it a little plasmaing the heads off. No real loss, not replacing a flexplate while it is apart is asking to be angry when it cracks 5k miles later - ac compressor is included but not installed. Bolts included as well. I think it was removed for engine mount access but not sure. - all other accessories included and still on engine - airbox and intake tract are included - it will need a new passenger header due to a goober trying to drill out a busted collector flange stud. I recall you want to put headers on it anyways. No loss. - need to grab a rear output slipyoke and weld yoke for the frankendriveshaft, they weren't included as he didn't want to cut the driveshaft up - may need a trans shifter cable, or find a way to adapt the van's. - entire harness looks pretty good. - I need to figure out how we are sealing the tcase front output if you aren't 4x4ing it or 2wd converting the trans. I was expecting the same front output yoke/flange setup everyone else uses and it looks like chevy did something else. It may or may not actually need sealing, not sure. I'll look in the morning. I don't know if it had VATS or if it was turned off before ripping the cab off and scrapping it so I don't want to try and fire it up and get you locked out of the ecu or something. I know absolutely nothing about tuning these. I'll check if the O2 sensors were included (are they in the manifolds or Ypipe? I didn't notice) in the morning and see what else I can tell you.

The headers I've been looking at do in fact have O2 sensor bungs.Seat Safety Switch posted:Might as well do a wideband. Factory upstream-of-cat sensors is/are wideband and necessary for the ECU to work properly, but fortunately they're $33 on rockauto. Downstream I don't give a poo poo about and will be ignored/disabled. e: i should clarify, the engine will run without it/them but it wouldn't be happy about it literally a fish fucked around with this message at 14:32 on Jun 19, 2016 |

So it looks like the engine will be coming down July 17th or thereabouts there is going to be so little time to actually do the swap/install I see my first few days in the US will be spent wrenching. I am totally OK with this.

I know absolutely nothing about tuning these. The worst that will happen is it just won't crank. It won't lock you out of anything except the starter, and it'll forget everything after the battery is disconnected. Depending on the VATS implementation, you can sometimes get around it by leaving the ignition on for 10-30 minutes. I think it's 30 minutes if it's the first time you've tried to start it with VATS issues, then 10 minutes every time after until the battery is disconnected again.

As long as I can get an OBD2 plug wired up, I should be able to use Tremek's HPTuners software/device to disable any security features that it might still have, and tell it the new rear end ratio. Should be OK. Who wants to find me a 2002 Silverado 2500 6.0 wiring diagram?  I can hear the Painless Performance harness calling me...

How about a 2003 3500 6.0? I mean... I know it's a year off, but it's the right engine, just with a bit of a body refresh. Scroll a little further down in that and you'll find info for a 2001 5.3. I would think between the two you can probably get most of the way there. edit: This appears to be the pinout for the 2002 ECU. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 03:10 on Jun 21, 2016 |

Mostly I need to know what each color of wire going through the firewall is/does, so with any luck the colors on the ECU will match where it goes through the firewall, so that might help

I keep forgetting to since it's under a tarp that I just walk past, but here's something I ganked for you on Saturday. 32 spline, I think it's the right ID and OD for the transfer case on your drivetrain but haven't found time to testfit yet. I intentionally sawzalled it a few inches into the larger diameter section so that if it happens to match well with the van's driveshaft they can be sleeved and welded together. Will measure OD (and ujoint cross dimensions so you can get a new one if needed) when I get a chance. It's a nylon-injected ujoint but you can get ones that come with ISRs that replace them, it's just obnoxious to remove the nylon and caps first. Cost me way less than an aftermarket stock replacement would ($65-70 is what I'm seeing) - $20 for the yoke, ujoint, weld yoke, and cut tubing.

Awesome! I have literally no idea if it will fit as the information I can find on the outputs of the various transfer cases says "look up the specific transfer case model as stamped on the nameplate on the case" and then refuses to tell me what kind of transfer case I ought to have. I suspect we'll find out soon enough (please fit...)

It fits, you're good to go. I forgot to measure the ujoint and tubing ID and it's the temperature of the sun and the humidity of satan's grundle out there so that will have to wait.

Awesome! That should be pretty much all the bases covered, then. Just need wiring harness (I'm probably going to bite the bullet and buy a premade standalone harness, it's just not worth the time/effort to deal with a half-chopped stock harness, it's gonna be hard enough to get this done as-is) and a length measurement for the DS once the engine/trans are in the car. Thanks very much, Ken

After NEFR was over, iForge, Adiabatic and I stopped at Kastein's place to pick up the 6.0/4L80E (plus extraneous transfer-case [possibly for later shenanigans? Who knows?]) and stare in awe at his AI/DIY compound.  A wild kastein appeared He has neat things.    The toiletjeep awaits final judgement.  Rest assured, ratchet straps were added after this picture was taken.  Thanks, Ken!
