Have been looking for a while and managed to find my very own 2003 Silverado SS AWD with the 6.0 (LQ9 I beleive). Looking for some advice/ideas/opinions on what exactly is out there and what is possible. I am mechanically inclined, never done deep engine work but swapping parts out, intake manifolds, even and engine swap. As far as performance and what can and is smart to do, i am clueless. Looking at what my options are, planning on stripping entire truck and damn near rebuilding it all. I've always loved these trucks and this one fell into my lap. Only has 140,000 miles on it, which i find amazing for a 18 y.o. truck. Has wear issues (bushings/tie rods/shocks/trans cooler lines (what on a chevy pickup??? No way!!! LOL) etc) but biggest issue is rust. I found out it spent a lot of it's life around the east coast. First problem i had was a fuel leak as the pipe had cracked from rust when trying to change fuel filter, that was a project. So basically want to pull the cab and bed and see how bad everything really is. Considering rebuilding motor also / hoping to future proof for later power add ons etc?!? Open to all options and suggestions. Also curios if any ones what the engine and driveline can handle for power stock (curious with AWD and all). Appreictae the help and time anyone is willing to devote to this.

So I bought OEM electric fans from a buddy of mine he said they came of a wrecked 2005 silverado 1500. In the picture whoever had them before him made there own ground with a thick wire on the fuse box. I'm hoping that's fine. My question is the plug with the blue and green wire. Where exactly does this go in my 2003 silverado ss. I know that I have to put blue in pin 42 but the green I have no idea where it would go??? So if anyone's done this install with OEM E-fans please give me answers on how to install without buying a harness would rather try to keep it as if it was straight out of factory. Thanks guys
