BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS - Mounting PCM for LS SWAP - UTX

Today at Ugly Truck, we're making ANOTHER STINKING BRACKET and installing the PCM in this 1986 Chevy C10 6.0 LS swap. We mount the computer on the driver side inner fender, as low as possible. Using the OEM mount and cover makes it easier, but it's a pretty intricate little bracket. We don't want the PCM bouncing around under the hood, so we make it extra strong, while still leaving room for the air intake tube above. Stay tuned for that video next!

Thanks for the excellent videos. Just 2 comments 1. On relays, all my drawings show pin 85 as ground and 86 as 12v trigger. 2. working on aircraft the sealed butt connectors are called solder sleeves

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Hello Robert. Most everything that I work with the 86 will be the source to ground. I do see them with 85 being ground once in a while and it works the same either way. What gauge of wires will you use those connectors on for aircraft? Thanks. Jerry

[@robertallen2108]

I worked on Military flight test aircraft on the data systems, 95% of our wires were 20 and 22 ga.

[@UglyTruckExperience]

I would have thought that they wouldn't let a wire be spiced on aircraft. Very interesting. I am a huge aircraft nerd on top of loving cars and trucks. Thanks Robert. Keep those planes in the air. It really freaks people out. Jerry

[@robertallen2108]

I spent 7 yrs in submarines and 41 years working on aircraft, A-10, B-1, B52 and B-2 When my wife recovers from her heart attack we would like to take you and Emily out to lunch. I have a few stories you would like.

[@UglyTruckExperience]

I bet you have some great stories. Would love to hear them. Where are you located? Jerry

[@donfullbright8468]

Thank you for your wireing video.

[@abrdds]

Emily... help me understand ... you two have the only LS swap I have seen that runs and didn’t burn up in the shop. I know that the LS platform is good supposedly... what is your secret?? Help...❤️✊🏾👍🏾😍

[@UglyTruckExperience]

😂 The only vehicle that's ever caught fire in our shop was a 79 F150, and it was because some ding-dong installed an electric fuel pump on a carbureted motor, and wired it hot with key on. We drove it in (first thing in the morning) and it backfired through the carb. Not a great way to start the day! Another great reason to have a fire extinguisher handy in the shop! Thanks for watching, Anthony!

[@blong6386]

I dont think that mount will move. Looks like getting close to starting the motor. Excited to hear it run!

[@UglyTruckExperience]

It's definitely not moving. Yes, so close. Thanks Bryan. Jerry

good afternoon

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Hi Alonso!

[@V-CarChannel]

Nice job

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Thanks BJ! We appreciate you watching!

[@tobycanales1062]

love the videos have you done one for stock wipe motor to the fuse box

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Thanks Toby! We have done that, but we don't have a video just yet. We'll put that on the list! Thanks for tuning in! --Emily

[@PeterHatch-mx7zc]

You look at these videos you guys seem to have more land for your buck than California

[@UglyTruckExperience]

I don't know what land goes for in California, but I bet our 10 acres would buy a pretty nice studio apartment there! 🤣🤣 Thanks for tuning in, Peter!

[@PeterHatch-mx7zc]

@@UglyTruckExperience thks you

[@2015_Rubicnn]

Land isn't cheap in Cali, but they're going to help illegals with first-time home buying assistance. What?!

[@wadebrowne5076]

great job with the brackets again, and is that a Scout outside, if so are you going to Ls Swap it

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Thanks Wade! Yep, that's a Scout! I believe it's a 78. The owner has another one that's very nice, and has been swapped. They're pretty cool trucks!

[@billthompson5634]

I'm going to need a small wire welder for my bodywork and brackets. I have a stick welder now. I was eyeballing the Hobart 140 handler and caught a glimpse of Jerry's in the background. Is his the 140 and does he like it? You 2 make great videos 😊

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Hey Bill! 👋 Yep, it's a Hobart 140. It's great for everything we do in the shop...brackets, exhaust, etc. He's actually using it right now, making more AC brackets! I'm behind on my other messages, but we're loving your project updates!! Hope you and Hunter are enjoying it too! --Emily

[@canz8tercustumz]

I’m doing an LS swap 1985 C10 and I’m almost done and realized I can’t find the plug for the MAF sensor. What harness is it part of?

[@UglyTruckExperience]

The MAF plug is at the end of the wiring harness that comes out of the right rear on the engine harness that leads over to the AC dryer low pressure switch and then to the low coolant level switch and from there it goes to the MAF. Hope this helps. Jerry and Emily

[@canz8tercustumz]

@@UglyTruckExperience thanks, your videos have been a great help for my swap!

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Thank you. We really appreciate you watching. Jerry

[@austenjordan6471]

Love the content...can you pleeease edit the dogs out? Im sure they are great but its hard to stay focused when you spend educational time to yell at dogs.

[@UglyTruckExperience]

We will keep that in mind. Thanks for watching. Jerry and Emily.

[@89pdg]

Who's ask that dogs always come first 😏

[@dongradwell9103]

Do you have any hair on your legs.lol😊

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Not much anymore. Thanks for watching Don. Jerry
