We've been working on UglyTruck's turbo kid since about October, and the 8.1 has been itching to run under boost, and today is the day it happens. I am so excited to be able to get it out on the road, but did it all work out smoothly? Also in this upload, we wire in an IAT sensor and 3-bar MAP sensor and get the base tune dialed in using HP Tuners software.

Who else instantly smiled along with LT when he "rolled in" to a little bit of boost and lit the tires up? I know it made me giggle!

@LawrenceTolman 3 года назад

i laugh every time I watch it, and im up to about 40 times now

@servantsglassllc 3 года назад

"WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY"! You could have turned up the boost and and pushed it to it's limit but I'm glad to see that you are responsible and can drive it without trying to blow it up out of the gates like others do. Congrats on the SUBSCRIBERS!!

@LawrenceTolman 3 года назад

thank you! and you are right about that, the temptation is there, but also present is the understanding of how much work and expense it will take to build it if it does blow

@gregrusse4162 3 года назад

Glad you got it and I am glad you got the truck done. I'm glad you found your dream job and now your own business. I am going to say good job on the subscribed people who are watching and I am glad that I was in the first bunch. You are going to make it just like I will someday get to work for a gentleman such as yourself. I'm going to be 52 on the 14th and I am again happy to see you are enjoying the dream of the show to your business and channel. God bless and enjoy, as I said not work if you enjoy doing the things you love. Great evening and upcoming Thursday to you LT.

@coltonshelley9341 3 года назад

LT you are the man! I’m a long time fan and have been watching you on truck tech for a few years so when I saw your personal RU-vid channel pop up in my YT feed I said YES I will definitely see what he is up to. I am pumped that you moved to UT. I live on the other side of the lake from you. Utah is a great place to be and the auto performance scene is pretty great here. It was better when we still had Rocky Mountain Raceway but we still have Utah Motorsports Campus and hopefully they put a drag strip out there. Welcome to UT County man! Hope to see you out cruising sometime!

@redthree 3 года назад

LT, I humbly thank you for walking us through this whole journey. From your introduction of Ugly Truck to us, to your cross country move, to your ear to ear smile of pride and excitement behind the wheel of this beast! I, as well as many of your other followers, I'm sure, really enjoy watching your videos and anxiously await for what ever you bring to us next. I wish nothing but success for you and your family and can't wait to see this ol, albeit no-longer-tired girl's official first dyno numbers. See you in your next video, brother!

@leeglidewell1473 3 года назад

Congrats on 30K! Y'all are kinda like a kid on Christmas Eve. LOL! That l'il giggle when the rear tires broke loose. LT, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say, "Y'all should open an account with the local tire shop. After the new fuel pump and fine tuning are finished I have a feeling y'all are gonna NEED it!" Giddy up.

@jeremycribb4696 3 года назад

LT, I have a video suggestion, an explanation of what the wideband is, how it works, when do you need to use one. I eat sleep and breathe automotive anything, but I am clueless about the wideband O2 stuff, how and why you need one etc. If it’s not video worthy for the channel, maybe add it in during a tune portion.

@LawrenceTolman 3 года назад

its a great suggestion!

@chriskubond6314 3 года назад

That went smoothly. Nice work. Luckily you didn't have too much knock after you got the fuel dialed in. I'm looking forward to how your data logs will look once you add a couple more pounds of boost. Congrats on the truck. It looks like all that hard work payed off 👍

@LawrenceTolman 3 года назад

Thank you!

@anthonywagner3273 3 года назад

Hey L T, I've been following along with your channel and loving your projects. I know you are not concerned about fuel mileage at this time but after a while i'd love to see some fuel mileage numbers on Ugly Truck and any improvements you might do to keep it reasonably streetable. Its to expensive to daily a 4 to 5 mpg vehicle. One of the draw backs about big block vehicles. Keep up the great content. A fellow gearhead here.

@LawrenceTolman 3 года назад

once I get the tuned dialed in and the fuel system situated, I'll try and put some miles on it. It wont be as bad as 4-5mpg, even turbocharged I'd expect low teens

@fro-zswhenifindtimecustoms4087 3 года назад

As I said before I actually like this better than your show. Very inspiring. I'm actually getting ready to turbo my 07 ScSb Silverado myself this spring I have basically all my components except my fuel pump reg because like you I'm worried when I drop the 450 in the tank the stock reg won't hold it. I've also been learning how to use my HP tuners. Just to get familiar with it all before I really got to make the big changes. I am planning on keeping my Maf though since my goal is only about 500 it's my daily so don't need it too crazy. Congrats on 30k and I look forward to your future content

@kbracing96 3 года назад

Just an FYI LT, I've got an 01 x cab with turbo (T4 S475) forged 5.7L (boarded 5.3) on stock return style fuel lines, rails and reg with nothing more then the a Racetronix "hotwire kit", Walbro 525 pump and Holley Hydromate pickup and I've dynoed right at 800whp on my Dynojet dyno and run the track times to back it up. This truck has been running this power as a dd for about 12 years, lol. (KB Racing Turbo Systems)

@brianross4057 3 года назад

@akaJackLugar 2 года назад

Have owned a couple 8.1's, latest being a stock 2006 Sierra 2500 RWD and NEVER should have sold it. What was I thinking? Best sounding engine ever especially with Magnaflow exhaust. Having the 6 spd on the Allison which is only available on the '06 I believe was a bonus.
