My new toy.

[custodian]

I bought this 2004 Buick Rainier CXL, mainly bought it for the 5.3 and 4l60e for a future swap, but I do plan on driving it for awhile after I fix the auto rear air coil suspension to springs.

No, this is a 2wd Rainier, and yes a square swap.

I replaced the rear air bags with springs and new shocks, exhaust from the front muffler back, brake rotors and pads front and rear, the heating/cooling control unit in the dash, changed the drivers side upper control arm, now to get the ac fixed and Ill be ready to drive it.

Have you changed your mind about the swap yet?

Have you changed your mind about the swap yet?

No, going to drive this for awhile first. It has 304,205 miles on it. The 85 I plan on doing the LS swap, I just put a rebuilt 350 in it and it only has 150 miles on it so far.

Yes, LM4 all aluminum. Believe to be the first year for that body style to get the all aluminum 5.3. Also has the G80 limited slip rear end.

Yes and no. Need to be in order to be able to drive it and get it inspected here in NC. I'll make my money back, only gave $500 for it.

Did the awd one come in a 4t65e mated to a transfer case or was it a Rwd primary thing?such as yours being a 4l60e
I know the ls4 came in front of a 4t80e but that was in cars

I found a 2wd Silverado with the 5.3/4l60e with 160,*** miles and now I'm selling the Buick. I've been driving the Buick daily since I fixed it.
