Appreciate this video a lot. The other ones I’ve found weren’t getting to the darn point. Works great I’m getting a slight fluctuation in decimals but nothing that would cause lights to flicker. I ended using the previous ignition wire which I believe is the blue coming out of that harness. Bolted the ext voltage reg on the alternator. We will see if it’s too much heat for it.
God bless this man!! I am having an IDENTICAL issue with my LS swap and for the ones wondering the part number info its acdelco 217-1588 just go to any parts store and tell them part number 217-1588 injector O rings bypass all the what year make or model. Just wanted to say thank you Gonzo's Garage your getting a mention in my up coming video! God bless brother!
I can get a good deal on an ls7 short block, I already have ls3 heads and complete intake. Would the heads bolt on and would I lose that much power in using those instead of ls7 heads and intake? Also would I need to worry about piston to valve clearance because of the different valve angle? Thanks
Just ordered me a pair bc I am facing the same issues with clearance with the steering column myself.. they come in Saturday should have an update by Monday. Thanks for the video.
Update. I put them on and they fit perfect.. plenty of space in between them just like he said. Cheers 🍻 also I made or short of them installed if you wanted to see.
There's actually two thermostats inside that thermostat housing. One is a low temp. T-Stat that's actually for the heater core. Haven't talked to anybody else who knows this.That's one of the things that should be considered when somebody's getting into this. Also, all the factory HOAT coolant needs to be flushed out. Its reacting with the aluminum from the engine causing sludge to build up in the heater core and restricting, or completely blocking coolant flow. Just use typical universal antifreeze. Just a suggestion.
Im having the same issue 2010 2.7l sebring. I just replaced the thermostat but still very little heat and coolant is coming out of the overflow while running. Is there a solution you can run through to remove the gunk and then flush and refill?
My 2012 chrsyler 200s. Heat had all tbese problem. And I have found the heat works the best on circulate. Cuz mine barely does any heat even after flush. Just make sure u turn the ac off when u hit the circulate button
UPDATE ! Chrysler 200 fix. Totally drain and flush the cooling system. DO NOT USE HOAT ANTIFREEZE AGAIN. EVER. The antifreeze is the problem. Switch to prestone OAT antifreeze and put a antifreeze coolant fliter inline with the heater hose going to the intake side of the heater core. This will fix this very common problem when Hoat antifreeze interacts negatively with cyclinder heads and or cooling system componets. Chrysler will not state this, but i will. Remember stay away from HOAT type antifreeze.
Man you made that like very doable since a shop has a wait time and not to easy on my wallet and I can't wait as my truck is my dump truck for Roofing and I have to get back to work, so much thanks
The stock truck manifolds flange don't stay tight to the engine. They angle out and would not fit on this application. So we went with these and they fit great
I need help!!!! My chrysler isnt making a clicking or knocking sounds, its actually hard to describe the sound that it is actually making. The noise is driving me nuts!!!!!! My heat is also not working. Single mom here with two boys, could someone help me out?!
Bought the JEGS sheet metal intake for ls1 and had 60lb injectors . It came with the JEGS fuel rails and once I put my injectors it leaked . Had no issues with the ls6 intake and Holley efi fuel rails . I found part 217-1588 gm O -Rings and also 217-1533?? Which should I get ? They both baby blue and brown O rings
The spacers work but you’d also need different o rings because that’s why I’m on this video to start with, I’m leaking fuel from spacer tip to the fuel rail
What about a 91 w250 360 LA gas engine?.. key switch on gas can go off the ignition coil...I went the old way with older alternator not charging much ...wonder if I have to use the original alternator?.
I did a LS swap into a 78 Buick Regal. I am going to run a Procharger. It's street/strip. I'm researching headers now. I am thinking of shortys vs. long tube. The passengers side was the problem when I ran long tubes with a SBC in it. Concerned about the swap because I don't think any companies guarantee a fit. Would shortys loose allot of power with my procharger D1X? Curious about anyone's thoughts on this. Car been down for over 2 years and I want to get it up ASAP.
We had everything mounted in the truck. AC and everything. Son blew his motor in the 1500 and used the Dakota motor. He lost interest. Had the makings of a sweet sleeper
@@GonzosGarage that's heart breaking man I've always loved my dakota the arw kick ass trucks I wish I had money and time to build one but maybe some day, sorry to hear he lost interest very said day when that happens
Can u send me ur email or I send mine to get more info been wanting to get my dodge Dakota running since I was in 6th grade I’ve now graduated and I’m college and think it’s time to put a LS motor in it I want ur email so I can get ur number and we can talk how u did it so it’ll be easier for me
Yes. I've been so busy with work I haven't been able to put out any videos. The truck is running and driving but need to get the heads off and to the machine shop. The guy I got the heads from didn't tell me they came off a motor that had been run hot... very hot. So the heads are warped 🤯
