Let's build some stuff!! I've always been a Chevy/GMC fan and love their platforms. Engine swaps, suspension modifications, custom fabrication, drivetrain rebuild and upgrade, I do everything and try to do as much of my projects as possible myself. From finding the components I need, to rebuilding transmissions, to pcm tuning I do it all. 100% built not bought
Nice videos bro I’ve been using. I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 short bed would like to make it positive traction would you know what year model of rear end I can take off that would fit my truck
I've heard the urethane body bushings make a street driven truck feel terrible. I bought the rubber set for my 04 2wd silverado, they were pretty expensive, but I feel it was the better replacement over the urethane bushings. Also the bilstien front and rear shocks the silver ones made the truck feel so much smoother verses the yellow moneros that were on it. Can't wait to see how this show truck progresses 👍
I've heard that as well, but I already have urethane body mount bushings in my 4x4 2007 classic rcsb and it doesn't feel or ride any different from my other one with oem rubber bushings in it. I'm sure it's probably more dependent on experience, but to me the urethane doesn't feel any different and is substantially less expensive than OEM replacements, and according to the internet, more durable, I guess we'll see about that in 20 years or so. lol Thank you! It's coming along and I'm gaining some momentum now that there's light at the end of the tunnel.
you mean like a pcm already programmed for a 6.0 and 4l80? Lot's of pleaces sell them for a stock application, if you have done modifications you're either going to have to take it to a tuner, or try a remote tuning service.
Ahhhhh, I'm really wanting to do a project like this now too. That looks SO good! The truck I mean, not the trees. That just looks exhausting to put in that many trees
Pulled out engine from 2000 Chevrolet with 4.8 swap it with a5.3 LS from a2004 Chevrolet took everything off the 5.3 installing everything that we took off 4.8 we left wire harness and the same computer to the 2000 Chevrolet turns on but as soon as u accelerate it it turns off
OK so it sounds like you used the entire intake manifold, wire harness, and computer that is original to the truck, so it shouldn't be a vat's issue or a software compatibility issue. If it shuts off when you go to accelerate, does it shut off hard like someone turned the key off, or is it a slower shut down like it's not getting enough fuel? There's enough difference in displacement that you're going to have to get it tuned to run correctly. If it will idle until it reaches operating temperature without turning on the check engine light or anything then it's probably fine as far as wiring and sensors.
I have a 2003 Sierra work truck with a fleet side 6'8" long bed. I want to remove the 4L60E (23.5" length) transmission and replace it with the 4L80E (26.4") length transmission. The math seems to say I need a 32 spline yoke that slides into the rear of the 4L80E transmission that is shorter by approximately 2.9". My main issue is that I have not pulled the driveshaft off yet so I cannot share the yoke parameters currently on the truck. But I'm not really sure that would be very meaningful as the current 4L60E transmission is being replaced anyway.
The 4l80 yoke has more slip/spline length than needed in most applications. Assuming you are stock ride height, and the yoke is not rusted or damaged, you can remove some length from the front of the spline/slip area (the part that goes into the transmission) to shorten it enough to work. The hazard of driveshaft being too long is it bottoming out in the transmission when your suspension travels, removing excess length from the front of the slip yoke, can achieve the same thing as shortening the driveshaft, as long as you still have adequate spline engagement on the output shaft, rule of thumb for spline engagement is 2.5xdiameter of shaft.
Passenger side front axle came apart at Ujoint hours from home. Limping it to auto parts store 5 minutes away luckily. Left the 20% in the front diff as to not leak everything out and removed axle nut, and shaft from wheel bearing and was good to go. No more clucking and risk of damage to diff or oil pan rest of way home. All I needed to know was axel nut size but found myself watching the entire video. Nice how to🤙🤙👍
Thank you! I've never seen so many in one place, and a bunch of the folks we talked to said they had many friends with them also that didn't come. Made it feel like they aren't as uncommon as I thought.
Great! Tons of people running turbo 5.3's with a th400. Even a stock 5.3 with a turbo you should be able to get 400+ horsepower out of it, probably closer to 500 or so. The th400 is plenty strong for that kind of power level.
thank-you mate, please please don,t ever go under a bed or vehicle with only a hydralic jack or hoist....our lives are depending only an o ring...not safe....stay awesome sir !!...funny the remark about the "fire wrench" .
Thank you!! 10k is my goal by end of the year, I've also thought about a PO Box, I think once I get to 10k I'll do it and see if anybody sends anything.
I had to replace all the front end on mine too. I tried to put new TRE’s but they were like welded on and would not break loose, not even with the rented tool. I ended up buying a new rack, cost me more $$ but it drives really nice. Your frame came out nice, you’re making great progress.
Thank you! It's actually a product called Chassis Saver. Designed for frames and chassis components, encapsulates and seals, self leveling so you can brush it or spray it, and holds up well. I've used it on quite a few frames and really like it. Just don't get it on your skin, it DOES NOT come off.
@@MohawkMotors lol that would stink. Man I appreciate it. I will be doing a couple frames soon (I hope) I’ll check that stuff out and give it a try. I really appreciate all the knowledge and experience you have and share. Thanks again man.
If I use a 2wd 4L80E and cut the tail housing shaft will I need to run a VSS on the t-case or will the 2wd 4L80E already have a VSS running to the computer
What’s up man I’m in the middle of swapping a 6.0 into a 2004 Silverado but the engine I got it off a 2000 truck do I have to get the 2004 harness and make it dbw or can I use the 2000 harness and fuse box etc?? Thanks
You can use the dbc harness and fuse panel original to the engine, but you'll need to find an 04 or 05 PCM from a van. your 2004 truck uses the CAN communication system, 99 to 02 PCM's don't have that capability, and the only 03 to 05 V8 DBC engines were in vans. Can probably find a good pcm in the junkyard or online from a 04 or 05 2500 or 3500 series van with a 6.0
Thank you! Yes you could do this with the pistons still in the bores BUT you are almost guaranteed to get grit between the piston and cylinder walls which is going to cause problems, maybe just some excessive wear, more likely scoring and possible damage to the piston rings. Plus all that grit will eventually find it's way into the oil.
If it's a 99 to 06 chevy or gmc fullsize, you do have an ignition relay, or at the least the truck is wired and pinned for a relay and designed to use a relay.
