So here's my story in a nutshell. I buy and sell all kinds of cars, bikes, book, home goods, you name it I sell it. I have a regular job (custodian) here in NYC. I buy cars at the insurance auction from time to time to keep me busy and out of trouble. Since I just had a newborn my next project was going to be a truck. I found this 2007 2500 6.0. I did a carfax and the last time it was inspected was june 2015 and it had 105k on it. It belonged to the MTA or Nyc transit. The thing looked horrible but it wasn't hit anywhere and it has a Clean NYS title. From photos it looked as if it had a plow on it at one point (only wires left). I had a key CUT
My questions are these. When sourcing parts for this thing (as I belive it's not too far gone) Do I have to start sourcing parts for a 2500? 6.0? Silverado? What fits and what doesn't? I have friends helping me out with this and I'd love to get this going. Anyone with parts PM me if you're within driving distance form NYC then I'm your guy.

If you're looking for parts that go in the body of the truck, you can source parts from 1500 or 2500 Burbs. Anything below the body - suspension, frame, powertrain, brakes, etc - you'd have to get from other 2500 Burbs. Unfortunately, the 2500 Burb is not the same as a 2500 HD Sierra or Silverado. It's like a 1500HD - kinda in the middle between the half tons and HD 3/4 ton trucks.

Get a build sheet listing all the RPO codes so you can see what hardware you have.

Here's what I have on my '08 2500 (one thing I can tell you that's different - you have the 4L80E transmission, not the 6L90 that I have)

Thanks a ton for your information. How about electrical components? I'm thinking fuse block, pcm those things? EBay has a ton of parts, just not sure if they are interchangeable. Should I make a friend at the dealership and ask those questions there as well? Again thanks

intheburbs

I'd suggest making friends with the parts guy at the dealership. I'm sure some electrical interchanges with the half-tons, and some don't.

One other big difference - the 3/4 ton uses hydroboost brakes, not vacuum boost like in the half tons.

Anydawg

I can't seem to figure out what fuel rail lines fit my vehicle. What parts from other trucks fit mine and injectors? I've got a lot of parts already, but this one is bugging me

Anydawg

I can't seem to figure out what fuel rail lines fit my vehicle. What parts from other trucks fit mine and injectors? I've gotten a lot of parts already thanks to your help, but this one is bugging me. I had one ordered on Ebay but they cancelled my order as they didn't have it. It's been difficult trying to find another one (used as junk yards are a bit over what i'd like to pay) in my budget, because as I stated getting all these parts and then I find out something catastrophic is wrong and now I'll be out even more. Again thanks for your help

LY6 engines were used in these platforms (according to Wiki)

• 2007–present Chevrolet Silverado HD
• 2007–present GMC Sierra HD
• 2007–2013 Chevrolet Suburban 3/4 ton
• 2007–2013 GMC Yukon XL 3/4 ton

I got the fuse block in today and plugged it up and all the light on the dash board lit up. I didn't bother turning the key to crank as its not programmed and I still have no PCM. My wonder is that a carfax report on this car states that it went through a NYS inspection and passed in June of 2015 with 105,555 miles on the dash. The dashboard says 105,864 miles today. Makes me scratch my head because why after only 300 miles did the MTA mechanics start ripping parts out of the the engine. Is that a good sign or bad that there are only 300 miles since last inspected. Thoughts anyone? I should receive the PCM today. After that I'm still going to wait for the coil packs and fuel rail with injectors to try and start it (after getting the key and pcm programmed)

The ECU will have to have the VIN programmed to it. As far as the key, you can program it your self IIRC. There is a procedure you can use. Just go to Youtube and search for it.
you can take that SUV down to Orlando and there is a shop that can put a Duramax LMM motor in it. That would be a sweet Suburban if the it doesn't need much work.

sfcjones

You can also plug the vin in at cheapestgmparts.com and get a list of parts you need at decent prices.
