When one truck is totaled another must replace it. Eric's step side was t-boned in a collision and a friend of his brought over this LS swapped OBS Chevy Silverado to replace it. This truck has been hit with the terrible modification stick, so we're going to undo everything. Taking it back to stock, making it look and run right.

Those rims are known as SS rims because they were originally used on 454 SS. They came out later as an option. Shine them up and with raised white letter tires the look awesome on an obs.

@brian5o 10 месяцев назад

I agree, I love those wheels, too. I didn't think about the 454 SS connection until you mentioned it but you are soooo right! Great catch!

Soft brake pedals are common on OBS trucks. Doing a master cylinder upgrade to a NBS truck is a common swap. Just need the new master cylinder from an early 2000’s truck, and an adapter for the front brake line.

The folks at RollnLoc bed covers are pretty helpful to fix your bed cover.

Spent $130 - better than taking it in or getting a replacement.

@danielmurphy9140 10 месяцев назад

I watch all your videos and about 4 years ago you did a windshield repair on a Chevy Volt in your driveway with Gabe. Well, I bought the same kit and the results were amazing. The ding in the windshield completely disappeared. In South Carolina, we got lots of UV rays, 90 degrees plus UV rays. Well, I just took the car into the garage because the sunlight was brutal. I thought I would bring it into the garage and make the repair then back it onto the driveway for UV rays. After I was done I just glanced over the instructions while the patch was curing and was stunned to see it said "Do the work in the shade and then put the car in the sun". Keep up the good work I have learned so much. I give God the glory. He keeps his own children straight. Man, that stuff cures faster than lightning. I would have had a mess if I tried to do the patch in the driveway in direct sunlight. I am not that fast.

Get the stock E fan set up and wiring harness from that truck all the way to the ecm, then you can put those pins in that and have the computer control the fans. Get the OE shroud and trim that to be the holder for the fans. I did that on my OBS and it works perfectly.

@hondofourfivetwo9347 10 месяцев назад

At least 1998 is the better dash layout for those OBS Chevys unfortunately it’s broken 🤦‍♂️ I hated the early dash on the 94 work truck I had but it wasn’t broken 😂

@marcusdamberger 10 месяцев назад

At work we also have a 98' OBS with liftgate that won't quit, but the dash is completely caving in. Southwest sun certainly didn't help it, but that seems to be a failing of these dashes from this era of GM. Wonder if any company makes a factory style replacement, or has new old stock for all the different colors they came in.

@PostalDog94 10 месяцев назад

The bogging when trying to launch it at the end of the video is because of Brake Torque Management still being enabled in the ECU. Ironically by fixing the brake light switch you've kicked in it's Abuse Management code and it wont let you do a standing burnout anymore lmao. I suspect this ECU may not have ever been tuned as much as just had VATS disabled and slapped in from some random junkyard truck.

Truck has a healthy bumpstick. I like those aftermarket LED taillights, I have them on my Yukon, they are brighter and look better, the stock ones are an ugly red blob. They are fairly cheap on Amazon but I’m going on 4 years now in the hot TX & AZ sun and no UV peel and they still work great. Looks like they hacked everything though which wasn’t ideal.

@MrMoto655 10 месяцев назад

My 98 kept losing its brake lights every time I took a turn and I couldn’t figure out why. I ended up replacing the fuse 3 times, pulled the steering column to replace the brake switch and traced every inch of the wiring to see wtf was wrong with it. Turns out the homemade trailer wiring from the previous owner had fallen onto my dual exhaust pipes and had melted the insulation, so every time I turned, the wire shorted to the exhaust. Taught me to always look for the simple stuff first, glad you did the same.

The interior was blue and he had a cool single din headunit that had dolphins swimming graphics when music was playing on the LCD. Looking back it was nice, got beaten up when he took to Mexico and sold it to our uncle. To this day it still shows up in videos and photos from them but it looks clapped out now.

@anonymuswere 10 месяцев назад

probably didn't think to swap the blinker circuit out. You have to put in a specialty controller with voltage balancing when you drop any LED-based bulb in a turn signal circuit. Also, the side markers on an 88 body CK are in the LOWER segment, next to the turn signals. The upper is only a reflector. CK lights are notoriosly dim going all the way back to the 73 origins, which were painted matt white. even the modern plastic buckets tended to haze out in a hurry. why the previous owner didn't just drop LED conversion bulbs in instead of the horrible Altezza style is a mystery, but often as not, OEM replacement light buckets were nearly impossible to find. also, those smoked lenses in the front were contributing to the lack of visiblility. you should have seen the mess I had in a 90 4Runner. stock on the outside, butchered into a "rolling radio" on the inside. half the trim screws were missing, and there wasn't a drop of carpet or sound insulation anywhere.

@amaresch66 10 месяцев назад

Since you're already finding sub-par 'upgrades' and install practices on the truck- check the condiition of all the wiring behind the dash. Easy enough to do a look-see. Typical sloppy installs on aftermarket stereos, alarms, whatever in the cab leads to wierd stuff on the instrument cluster on these older Chevy's. The speedometer and gauge issues you saw made me remember a used Chevy plagued by such hackery. Addressing the slashed up wirebundles up there cleared up about 8 issues for me. You're probably right about the tach being a result of the LS swap, but you never know- an easy fix is the best.

@avioncamper 10 месяцев назад

The truck has solid bones. Needs tires, oem wheels, fix the ac, oil, trans oil rear dif fluid change. clean inside, fix tailgate handle. Then take off the non oem junk.
