First and most important is I am so happy that Meg is improving. Second, once again at various points you absolutely cracked me up laughing. You have a talent for inserting humor at just the right moment. Thank you brother Kenny and keep wrenching while I keep watching.

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

Thanks brother! I'm glad I made you laugh. I hope you're doing well. As always, thanks for watching 🔧

[@user-jf2hq8xj7g]

My heart goes out to you, Kenny.It's never easy crawling underneath a vehicle working on your back. The older you get the tougher it gets. Usually takes me 2 days to recover. Brenda?

[@user-jf2hq8xj7g]

That's supposed to say Brent.

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

Some day I will have a lift at the house. It isn't in the budget right now. I'm getting too old for laying on the floor 😩 Thanks for watching, Brent 🔧

[@stephenmeeks684]

One thing I enjoy about your presentation is the feeling of friendship for the watcher, me, as if I was really there with you. It makes me feel a special warmth to be there as you show me what you are doing.

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

Thank you for your kind words. The first video I made was to help a friend fix his vehicle. I do get to meet many viewers & have become friends with them. I appreciate your reply. Thanks for watching!

[@martinwedgeyt]

Totally Agree . Thanks Kenny for a great channel. All the very best to you and yours. M. From UK

[@petermedera8807]

Your one to the few mechanic experts on the tube teaching as well as admitting not knowing everything (and not giving us political opinions and making banal comments about things they really don't have any clue about). Please keep with the instructions and the lectures as those of us wrenching at home a following along and taking notes for our vehicles.

[@mckinleygoetz9855]

Hey Kenny, as a fellow mechanic I enjoy watching and learning new things from you. You explain everything in detail. I wish I had you as an instructor to learn from when I was younger. Thank you so much for the experiences. I think everyone wants to add to their vocabulary. 😅😂😅😂

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

😂😂😂 bananas Thanks for watching & keep wrenching 🔧

[@paisleyprince5280]

After using a lift daily for 20+ years I'd install one outside at home before rolling around on the floor after hours.

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

Eventually, that's not in the budget at this point. Thanks for watching 🔧

[@TheArchiecat]

Glad she’s well 🙏

[@kurtwelday8465]

I learn so much by watching every detail. To you it seems mundane but to me it is a lifetime of wisdom being shared and it is absolutely fascinating and much appreciated. Thank you.

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

I appreciate your kind words. Thanks so much for your reply & watching the channel. Keep wrenching 🔧

[@gregiles908]

Doing that now. Getting a BTRE 4SPD out from under an Australian Ford Falcon. Impossible to remove engine and trans together. Jack stands, blocks of wood and a wooden board. Detach trans onto blocks. Remove one block at a time until trans sits on the board. Remove Engine. Use Hoist to lift front of vehicle. Slide trans out on board (don't get under vehicle!!) . Lotsa Fun for the 50yos mate. ❤

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

That's great! Thanks for sharing! Keep me posted. If you're on Facebook, put pictures up on Wrenching with Kenny and/or Backyard Mechanics. Answer all the questions to join because they are closed groups. Im sure everyone would like to see what you're working on. Keep wrenching 🔧

[@jthonn]

It's really coming along now. Strapping the tranny to the tire was a good idea. Back in the day you could pull the tranny with the engine, dang near impossible today. I am so glad that your wife is doing better. I'm sure your work and the projects you do help keep it from preying on your mind constantly. I will still keep you guys in my prayers. Nice video

[@s31ACE1252]

I've got a '96 Z28 6-speed manual. I use a trans jack to pull my T56. If you are on a flat concrete floor that will make pulling it go so much easier. Before unbolting, chain the trans to the jack with the supplied chain. You'll be able to keep your upper and lower gaps even between the trans and bellhousing with the trans jack plate adjustments.....no joke, it will pull out with virtually no pressure.

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

Thanks for the tech tip! I thought about getting a trans jack. Keep wrenching 🔧

[@tracymessineo4738]

Glad she is doing better. My husband and I enjoy your content.

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

Thank you for your kind words & watching my videos. Keep wrenching 🔧

[@oxygen454]

Working on the LT1’s in the Camaro and Firebird engine bay brings back painful memories. Spark plug changes required small arms and blood.

[@ChrisDean-ic5gw]

Not a mechanic but really enjoy watching and listening to your videos, so glad to hear that meg is getting better.

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

Thanks for your kind words & watching the videos 🔧

[@haroldshuler3979]

That’s good news about her , I know you are feeling better !!

[@pcterm2]

good for your wife,,,mrs wrenching please keep getting better

[@philspear73]

Really enjoy seeing your figure out how to get things done by yourself and with home mechanic type tools. I think it's invaluable stuff.

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

Thank you very much! I appreciate your feedback. Thanks for watching & keep wrenching!

[@jackiemay9471]

give mrs wrench my best

[@TOP2095]

Glad to hear Meg is getting better. Thoughts and prayers ...

[@davidlampe4153]

Enjoy your video style and content no matter how you present the education is priceless!

[@user-jx3ly9hf4p]

Good news about Meg.

[@butchc7650]

I've never had the privilege of a lift but I'm well rehearsed on the flat back

[@bobclark5479]

That's very good news.

[@jackmosqueda9724]

Kenny your a bad dude props for sharing your knowledge keep on don’t stop the teachings

[@rnnursingeducation608]

Hey Kenny. I’d leave the radiator as designed. A lot of engineering went into making the engine cool in that body configuration. As long as you keep the air deflectors in place it will cool your LS fine. Standing it up straight (unless you poke a bunch of holes in the bumper) will do nothing but hurt cooling. My .02.

[@bobby9195]

Good morning Mr Kenny, I'm so glad mrs Kenny is getting stronger and my prayers are still with her. Thank you for sharing this project with us sir 😊

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

Thank you! She appreciates all the prayers. Have a great day & keep wrenching brother 🔧

[@GNXClone]

It’s not fun. But the payoff is worth it. I swapped my 06 GTO from a T56 to a 4L60e. Then after a few of those broke, I fitted a 4L80e. No lift. No transmission jack. 😅

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

That 4L80 is one HEAVY transmission 🤯 Thanks for sharing your skills! Keep wrenching 🔧

[@dennissmith8199]

Kenny, the ratio of the differential is marked on the forward end of the pinion. It will have two numbers, 10 41,or 9 37, which are the pinion and ring gear tooth counts, giving you the ratio. Virtually all OEM and aftermarket gearsets are marked like this.

[@PAUL-hf3ex]

Do a nice LS conversion

[@scottymoondogjakubin4766]

Thats going to be a nice car when done !

[@jthonn]

It will be scary fast with that LS.

[@ross_ulbright7779]

The front of the car actually looked a lot nicer without the long nose bumper. I would be tempted to leave it off and finish up the front end without it.

[@adamh38]

Whenever off on weekends and working on a video try live streaming so you don’t have to worry about having to do a lot of editing later

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

That's a great idea. I will have to look into that. Thanks for your suggestion. Keep wrenching 🔧

[@donames6941]

Go with a straight up and down rad you be glad you did later

[@robertqman5751]

Nice video ... I am guessing you were a little sore the next day? Real grunt work demo ... :)

[@greggkuzila7513]

I can't even change my oil in my Z71 because I'm too big to go underneath

[@simonmitchell7439]

Great video. I wonder if an air wedge bag could be useful to push the bell housing away?

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

I thought about that. Unfortunately, I don't have one. Thanks for watching & keep wrenching 🔧

[@roger5638]

LMAO...leg cramp....im 70 and get them alll the time. OU C H !!!

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

They are HORRIBLE! Thanks for watching 🔧

[@bobby9195]

Well Mr Kenny, watching you on the garage floor, trying to fit everywhere, I've come to the conclusion, you sir need a bigger garage with a lift.😅 A lift will definitely spoil ya.😅.

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

That is definitely the game plan. It isn't in the budget at this point. Thanks for watching & always sending a reply 😊 keep wrenching brother 🔧

[@MUSTANGGT12]

Ong Kenny. Finally a long video!!!

[@jackmosqueda9724]

Be nice bolts can be difficult

[@billmalec]

Definitely do not want to see every bolt coming out.

[@garydotson2277]

Agree, this video got pretty long in the tooth.

[@timferguson8654]

Don't overthank a relatively simple swap

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

I have adhd. Unfortunately, I tend to overthink everything. Thanks for watching 🔧

[@donbower2438]

sorry too long but I still like your videos

[@marvinm9408]

Drill out the distributor bigger then you can get your socket in. You’re not using it anyway.

[@jlmullikin]

There is no easy way to lay under a vehicle and work on it….it makes for terrible back aches. I always end up fumbling something and it falls and hits me in the head…when I was 17 it was a little different.

[@larrymitchell8464]

Don’t you just love working without a lift.

[@mito6532]

Just my 2 cents. Removing a 6 speed manual is kind of blasphemy in my books.

[@slayer7976]

Agree, a 6 spd z28 shouldn't be chopped up 😢

[@jackmosqueda9724]

Yeah what Clown at GM designed that distributor nonsense I think caprice or impalas used the same setup water pump driven distributor

[@giff427dg]

So much is feel becouse you cant see half the stuff

[@rickedwards9528]

Why is your video so dark? It's difficult to see any detail of your work

[@Jimmyky77]

Must be on your video feed because it looks Fine to me friend!

[@AL-T]

I enjoy watching but I don't need to watch everything that you do. I understand that people are not smart enough to turn a bolt. I am out, sorry.

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

I was excited when Meg showed me how to fast forward videos. That way when there is a lengthy one I just watch the parts I want to. I appreciate your reply & will definitely get back to my shorter videos. Thanks for being patient & keep wrenching 🔧

[@slayer7976]

I'm up for the medium length videos. Some of ur earlier ones were too short or cut off important parts but some of these latest ones were kinda too long. I know it seems u have a lot of viewers that are noobs and don't know basic mechanic stuff. You do have good tips and I like ur diagnostic videos though.
