Converted my old tahoe to 1 ton. Pulled all the parts off of a 3500 of the same year. Stronger front diff, transfer case, upper and lower control arms, beefier torsion bars, beefier cross members, beefier rear leaf springs etc. Even pulled the 454 and 4L80 from the doner truck. Truck was geared to cruise at 70 mph at 1700 rpms. The 203/205 doubler I eventually swapped in helped to get a axle flipped and lifted 28 foot Avion camper up to and from hunting camp. I miss that truck. Some dumb blonde in a Audi SUV driving to fast and on her phone slid right through an intersection and T Boned me. Rolled me 5 times. If it wasn't for the roll bars I put in the roof would of killed me.

[@DirtyMax_OBS]

One lucky sob, was the frame a 1500 or 2500?

[@bladenrexroth2555]

@@DirtyMax_OBS 1500 got turned into a 3500 and kept the PA registration as a half ton lol

[@brandtspivey3661]

love my 2 door 97 tahoe, this project will be very helpful for me

[@davetitterington6272]

As a Fellow Minnesota transplant, suspension parts never come apart that easy when there are 2 decades of rust on them.

[@bmstylee]

Ohio resident here. Living in the snow belt turns everything to rust no matter how hard you try.

[@chumps7974]

😂😂😂 you are not lying about that. It's the same in Michigan

[@TheREALOC1972]

That's because they have their interns break them loose and then tighen them back up for they come right off for t.v.

[@TheREALOC1972]

That's why you soak them in PB Blaster for a few hours first.............

[@VrillonX]

I just got an 02 Chevy Tahoe 5.3L and I absolutely love it aside from the ridiculous electrical issues. Every other day it seems something is draining the battery. Some mornings ill come out to a completely dead battery. I think previous owner installed automatic start somewhere and I need to take it out. I don't know much at all about working on vehicles but for someone wanting to learn this channel rules.

[@OsX86H3AvY]

Het a Chilton;s or even a Haynes manual for it. I had a Caprice which kept popping one specific fuse, figured out it was the wire to an aftermarket radio which was cut square but NOT taped off and it was just positioned, wedged in there PERFECTLY that it would ground out on the shell of the radio and pop the breaker when you turned on the running lights..if used it wouldve automatically lowered brightness of the radio when you turned on your lights but it wasnt used......point being - the simnple Haynes manual helped me narrow it down to that one brown wire using a bit of logic and testing....SUPER useful for wiring imo

[@atribecalledcookies4]

Our 2 door is about to hit 329k miles most reliable vehicle in the fleet , basic maintenance , we put in a 14 bolt semi float rear end out of a 95 k2500 pickup which retains the 6 lug pattern with a factory g80 locker, 6 inch lift on 35's and it runs all day everyday.

[@bawintermage8351]

Halo cars are nice, but teaching about project cars, something you actually afford and likely have is much better.

[@chumps7974]

Definitely

[@blackicekck9family379]

They always give different opinions on builds don’t act like that

[@NBNracing]

That's a good video showing a front end rebuild. Showing a torque wrench or two and loctite where needed would have made it great.

[@LukeEdward]

#PowerNationTV DO NOT LET THESE GUYS GO! #Carcass has become one of the best PowerNation shows with Jimmy and Jeremy at the helm!

[@jeosua]

2 door Tahoe and 4wd? Good luck getting your hand on one of those. Awesome build.

[@matthewdietz6344]

And rust free !!

[@NickToutant]

You guys make it look so easy to compared how it really goes

[@Jaang29]

Jimmy is amazing !

[@nazgo9061]

Love CARCASS❤️

[@mattzahuranec9335]

Place the brake hose with calipers, 1/4 million miles. Also applying an anti squeal paste/compound on pads is a must do.

[@cdhoustonusmc]

Great video on GMT400 trucks

[@Toes-o6x]

I would like to see a 7.3L turbo diesel like the ones in the late 90s. 3/4ton pickups refreshed and made like new. Only because I have one, really.

[@riotshieldwarrior833]

Another great build thank you .

[@PowerNationTV]

Thanks, we appreciate your support

[@edgarvasquez6124]

yes yes yes yes yes!!!!!!! finally a 2dr build!!!!!!!! and the same color haha

[@larryw5429]

You people down south don't know how good you have it with vehicles! In 10 years up north you're vehicle is pretty much a rusted pile of junk if you drive them in the winter!

[@carlsegerstrom3989]

This was the reason I moved from Maine to Virginia.

[@soonergaming4747]

Just move, you don’t HAVE to live up north

[@purenightwolf4758]

My dad truck wasn’t rusted out. we live in Canada. He just took care of it and car washed it most of the time. It does snow here. He uses it hunting and everything.

[@michaelkimmey8182]

You did all that work but you really need to put steel braided lines on the brakes because if you watch the lines while you pump them to bleed them they will twist right up.

[@badarsyahbadarsyah7853]

Opel blazer kalo di Indonesia, disainnya sama hanya beda gril dan lampu depan , dengan mesin 4clinder yg sudah di down grade biar irit bensin

[@chestercalloway3812]

I love this build!❤❤

[@patmcbride9853]

That rotor was really groovy, baby.

[@chumps7974]

I would love to have a 2 door Yukon

[@Koalateatimes]

Rust belt guys are crying rn over the ease of removing most of these parts (myself included)

[@cotynietling2567]

Great work one thing you should always replace on these is the soft lines on breakshad one swelled shut wouldnt release pressure destroyed a new set of pads and rotors

[@JohnnyBfromPeoria]

I was going to say the same thing, replace the soft lines - doesn't cost much. Also, I think I would've pulled the upper and lower control arms and replaced their bushings.

[@allevi5158]

Wow, just had my 97 Yukon w/170k get a new front end - $3,000 , but it's like a new truck 😊

[@vickypratamaputra4363]

1996 Chevrolet Tahoe

[@mrchevy7892]

The only thing that is missing is the z71 decal..👍🏻👍🏻

[@2006Mercury]

These trucks are still going to be on the road for the next fifty years while the new cars they are making go out after 5 years

[@coolinken]

Nice video! WIth all that front end work, I didn't catch any mention of replacing the control arm bushings. Did those get replaced?

[@joseluisramirezcuevas1142]

El siguiente paso, cual será un swap ls? Eso estaría genial como las otras dos obs qué ya armaron

[@Gokywildcats11]

Like to have that, don't see many 2 doors left

[@wkjeeping9053]

Any and all suspension stuff gets neglected the most on any vehicle. People don't realize how unseen it is the worn out parts. Even the 08 jeep grand Cherokee I bought 3 years old still had sway bar bushings went bad on it. The lower ball joint on both sides were bad too. It's just cheaper to replace the whole control arms now days for like 10 bucks more.

[@sandybarnes5463]

While disassembled, why not clean and repaint hardware that you are going to reuse?

[@overyonderjustapiece]

cause that would make sense... And since none of it is sponsored, they won't do it. After all, all of the shit they are doing is paid for by sponsors. notice all of those $1000+ matco tools, the Duralast ONLY parts supplied, and God only knows what all else.

[@AndyPat239]

Yeah I thought that too

[@Lazerchicken69]

Even VGG would have painted that spindle

[@pychokenny1]

Love these shows, I just wish they would say what size wrench or sockets they use to help us diy's out

[@turningwheels7167]

Just use a dial caliper if you really can’t figure it out. Tells you pretty damn much exactly what you need

[@mikee5075]

@PowerNationTV would u be interested in buying my 99 suburban with spare motor with it

[@shpfro]

WHY, WHY, WHY ARE THOSE WHEELS SO POPULAR??? I hate those wheels but it's like the 100th OBS I've seen with those wheels on it. I have them on my OBS Tahoe and I hate them. Reminds me of a Trailblazer. Just can't find any for sale close to me.

[@Gbodychris]

💪🏾💪🏾

[@gettinthatgreen]

Can someone please tell me what boots Jeremy Weckman is wearing it’s been bugging me.

[@brittanyweckman6096]

Red wings:)

[@Estoooopid]

Do all dat to el tahoe

[@BangBangBang.]

My friend's dad like 15-20 years ago would get like 2-3 offers a week for this his truck which was just like this but red from the factory. I can't imagine how many he gets now. It was one of those impulse buys he made after getting some kind of million dollar payout from a railroad company which predictably he blew on women and partying that he's not particularly ashamed about but ended up with a house, boat and truck. The house now is easily $500k+ with the real estate bubble.

[@TundeEszlari]

You are very good KZbinrs, can I get a comment heart?

[@johnbean1994]

Moog parts are much better than Autozone

[@foreskrin]

What happened with the Camaro??

[@19chev81]

Its sitting in the background

[@foreskrin]

Yeah, but when was the last update?

[@BigUnitBeef]

All those metric bolts😢

[@jessevaughn7612]

AutoZone parts suck! O'Reilly's is best. Precision and Moog

[@lyndelllyon754]

It's a Chevy what else can I say

[@deadon4847]

Crap Heaps Every Vehicle Year

[@ThePolishSausage]

Ew why use Duracrap parts

[@19chev81]

Most likely a sponsor....no sponsors no show

[@Mr34blazer]

This week on slackass mekaniks: we slap some china parts on the cameraman's shtbox, and overtorque everything with our impacts. 😅😅😅😅

[@davidrfowler6432]

good show BUT!! EPIC FAIL on those duralast wheel bearings , the only wheel bearings that should be installed on any passenger or light truck vehicle are GENUINE SKF wheel bearings the second best wheel bearing only to KOYO which are not available for north american manufactured vehicles

[@arron8969]

Must be nice working on cars not from the rust belt

[@sidneysanders5726]

Jimmy has had Jeremy'shair style for a while, but he went bald now.. what happened?!

[@Cuhh346]

Hopefully they dont ruin this one as well
