Removing hybrid system possible?
So I’ve got an 09 Sierra Hybrid and I am seriously wondering if it would be possible to completely remove the hybrid system from the truck? Like could I throw a 4l60e or 4l80e into the truck, replace with a traditional starter and steering system? I figure when I put batteries in it that it will cost around 4000 so do y’all think for the same price I could delete the hybrid system completely?

You will need to do the engine, all hydraulics for brakes, install traditional power steering, add alternator, add traditional air conditioning compressor ( and AC computer system), make heater modifications, and or bypass the Hybrid based Body Computer as well.
Short answer is YES! It can be done.

I do not think it would be worth the trouble and expense. Several places have the re-manufactured batteries for around 2600, besides these things will limp along for years with a bad hybrid battery. Worst symptom that I had was an occasional hesitation on takeoff from a dead stop. It seemed like the Hybrid battery just did not have enough juice to start the ICE through the dampener plate at times, especially with some high draw items on like AC. It still ran really good just had an occasional hiccup.
