Crate engine replacement suggestions/laws?

i have a 1999Chevy Tahoe LT w/o onstar. i hear something in the rumor mill that it's already pre-wired for onstar. am i wrong? do i need ot be educated? and how can i do it if all the goods are there?

as for the funny stuff, me and mrs. were out looking for a minivan (yuck. we're not getting one) and the salesman told us the rattle from the front left wheel was because..........the fuel tank was low on gas. now, does anyone have any good stories like that? i love 'em.

Derek,

I replaced the motor in my '90 C1500 with a crate motor over the summer. I found the best price at Scogin Dickey (sp?!) in Lubbock, TX.

On a lark, my wife called a local Chevrolet dealership and they beat that price by $1. I didn't have to pay shipping, but did pay sales tax, so it was a wash. On the upside, I had the motor the next morning...:-)

Good luck!

Some of the wires may be there but none of the other components will be there. The correct software to make these things operate will also need to be obtained

Steve... just curious, what engine did you get (thinking of a crate 350 for my kid) and how much was it?

also, what parts/accessories from the old truck/engine are reused?
