Great idea about cutting the floor away for access. I’m going to my local junkyard soon for a 4l80 and I’ll be doing the exact same thing on a Chevy/GMC van. Thanks for sharing!
Once something gets replaced then the older parts feel the pressure and they begin to fail. My 2005 Sierra has recently received a OBD scan codes - P0300 and P0420, and in between these two codes I received a code (?) that required a new wheel speed sensor. Prior to these codes I had my battery replaced just after 5 years of use. Prior to my dead battery while my truck was in the garage the key got stuck in the ignition; consequently, the ignition was replaced with a aftermarket. Now I am being told that it could be a bad coil causing the misfire. Geez Louise!
if that was your only problem, you got lucky as fuck. i have been chasing a p0300 in my 2000 sierra for months now. have replaced fuel injectors, fuel lines, fuel filter, coils, wires, plugs, 02 sensors, air filter, knock sensors, and the problem still persists. my next best guesses are either the fuel pump or the cats.
I tried this and got completely different results. Looked at the bottle and realized I had accidentally gotten diet Mt. Dew. Why the hell can’t they make the bottle look different….
The amount of destruction because of laziness is astonishing! Locally, you would pay for the harness, crossmember, and anything else that you destroyed to access the transmission. The harness is easy to unclip and worth a decent amount and the crossmember is just a few bolts to impact loose. You screwed not only the yard but multiple other folks out of good, useable parts.
This yard crushes vehicles a week after going to the yard most of the time. They get so many in that they have to crush them fast. The yard does not care about parts that they cant sell most of the time as they are getting crushed anyway. So go ahead and cry about parts that are not going to sell. I respect the parts yard and they have no problem with me doing what I do.
You could but would be fighting alot to get it to fit out. Taking the body off would be the easiest way. Or just drop the front by cutting the frame but some yard don't like people cutting frames.
Yea, I think where I live, they will let you cut the frame. Never asked about the body trick thou. That is very slick never seen it done like that. Keep up the good work and entertainment.
Hello, I do resell a lot of the parts I pull, but most of them end up going to people I know for their projects. A lot of people can't take a day off work to go to a salvage yard to find the parts themselves. So I started pulling parts during the week, and next thing you know, I am doing it full time. I have quite a few projects myself that I am always keeping an eye out for parts as well.
The transmission in this video went to a good friend who is building a 1957 Chevrolet Belair that he is swapping in a sbc 350 and wanted the car to be a Manual transmission for a daily driver.
