They never last, Stage x 4l60e and they still fail. I've tested them all and even let the builder tune the trans to hold. Nope over 500whp(those are baby number) they go 1-2-N-N. Stock 4l80e with shift kit 1kwhp all day and lasts years.

The same trick can be used for power windows and getting the glass out. You can use an 18V battery as well. Just realize, don't do it for long, and the motion of seat or window will move quite fast. But certainly any 12 volt battery drill is the best.

Do you know who at upfix repaired your EBCM? Or what they said was wrong with it? I sent mine in there and I got an email saying it was not repairable but they also found nothing wrong which is confusing to me.

I have a manual v6 trying to do a v8 auto swap do have any tips

what type of tuner

That's exactly what ive said a hundred times an engine from the factory with even two or three hundred thousand miles on it that has been taken care of is not going to be any better if you take it all apart and put new bearings in it in fact possibly it will shorten its life span because you will get contaminated it somehow w oil form your fingers even on bearing surfaces leave what's not broken alone guys gm does a way better job than you can do in your garage trust me on that part .. new parts are not always better even brand name like clevite can have inconsistentsies in them and not only that the factory stuff is all broken in together and as long as the oil pressure is good send it even w boost or spray send it !!!!

Dude we have the same definition of fun lmao

I notice you like most everyone else is biased towards the gen 3 not 4 or 5 lol and its understandable as well as to why

You did a lot of work bubba i hope hes paying you at least a couple thousand for all this not only labor but knowledge thats the big thing anyone pretty much can bolt the motor and trans in but making it run amd the transmission working and all that is a whole other thing its not a gen one w a turbo 400 that's for sure you didn't let us know how you flashed the computer or why thats pretty important i think but man great job jason i enjoyed all of it for the last couple three hours while its pouring outside lol

You must be in Florida like me someplace lol

Tje larger pink originally went to the hei aka distributor feed wire

That's the biggest thing having the donor truck for all the little things that can nickle and dime you to death the air box for example would not come w just an engine etc etc nice choice on the radiator btw youve done this a few times it appears lol

That was funny throwing it on there once you have taken a harmess off and on at least once or twice its not near as daunting a task you pretty much how it goes back on again

Im binge watching due to bad weather here today in fla i like the way you think and the way you do things your one of the best ive seen as far as L..S swaps so far and the first one where you said leave the bottom end alone is golden why anyone would take something apart and change it when its in pristine condition just because it has a lot of miles on it is just a waste of money and ill almost guarantee that the factory stuff will outlast anything they do the robots at gm know the exact sequence and torque specs and gm uses the right bearings etc for a million miles if the oil amd pressure is good the o ring and reseal of the engine is exactly all it should ever need the crosshatch is still in the cylinders and bearings are in pristine condition in an engine w over two hundred thousand miles on it dont touch it dont even change the cam bearings the majic is in the factory stuff it will last a very long time even under heavy abuse and high rpms

It's not a surprise with all the butchered wiring that the distributor is at least a tooth off on the 350 that drives me nuts lol

E fan upgrade coming soon

I have an 03 5.3 envoy (same color too) and this brings inspiration. So far it only has 20" GMC snowflake replicas, and Flowmaster Delta 50 to dual exhaust in the rear (typical truck setup). Wanna slam her and then work on the drivetrain for more power.

I was just looking for tricks to swap the engine in my work van but now I kinda want to see where this goes lol

can't wait to do my 03 5.3 Envoy XL. I already have the 20" snowflake GMC replica wheels on it. It's going to look so good

How did you make the speed sensor work for you on the 4l80?

Great video

Dude great tip

On the pump use pb surface shield on it will stop it from rusting.

When are we doing my lightning lol have you seen the mustang i did.

Do you NEED the pedal and TAC module? I didn't see if you had it installed here. Thanks!

Brilliant!!

Finish the car you come this far did you check the timing?

Thanks, this was very helpful. Making a flatbed out of my old gmc.

Another great video just wondering what you think your gonna ask for the truck when its complete? I have a similar project I would like to do with a 2005 1 ton GMC single tire.

I have part 2007 model Chevy Silverado trucks 3 trucks if anyone interested

🔴 Looks great👌🏾💯 Where'd you move that #AmbientTemperatureSensor that sits just left of the original factory #TransmissionCooler on that same center crossbar❓️

Do the early 2000s 4x4 Tahoe ones work ?

👍

👍

So u did not need the holly it was the vacuum Leak the whole time

Usually taking shit apart like that throws the others off the scent until they come back.

Nobody knows about it. I’m from LA. Went to the junk yard to find some and people just cut them out. The one on my truck got torn and was leaking small amount of clean

Dang, this is going to be one sexy truck! I'm in love with how that frame turned out. Very nice work, as always Jason.

how many chassis off Restorations have you done on these trucks because I want to have my little shop in one day take a 2001 GMC Sierra in dark green metallic with two tone interior and do a similar restoration but more

New cab bushings?

🤙🏾🤙🏾

This is the most worthless video everyou one knows to do this and it doesn't work when it's actually stuck.

Sandblasting is nasty work! A friend of mine and I sandblasted the frame of my 1980 Dodge Power Wagon in his backyard. Afterwards, his entire yard (and neighbors) were completely covered with a layer of fine sand. His wife was so pissed that she didn’t want to speak to me for a month. They divorced a few years later…

So I got a 2006 Silverado 1500 that originally came with a 4.3L then I swap in a 6.0 lq9 with a 4l80e and now the cab has no power when turning the key. All engine grounds are connected as well as the battery. I checked fuses under the hood and inside the cab and there’s power but nothing turns on when key is turned to the on position. Only thing I get when the key is turned back and forth from the off/on position is a relay click from #5 Also Ecm has vats deleted

So in Nevada, as an example.. if there is a different VIN on the cab... vs the frame.. the FRAME VIN becomes the legal VIN for the vehicle.. is that something that you have to deal with??

👍

This is going to be another awesome series! Great work on the frame Jason

will the 4.3l radiator will work with an ls and keep it cool?

WOOHOO A 45 minute Mohawk movie!

Um, Yeah, No..
