Budget Turbo Yukon XL 4L80 Conversion (Part 4): THE WIRING CONVERSION LIFE HACK! The BEST Way!

In this video we tackle the wiring segment of the swap from 4l60e to 4l80e in a gmt800 99-06 Yukon suburban Tahoe escalade Silverado Sierra etc... There is a very simple process for this that we use in the video and a little tip from my friend ‪@DigginZ71‬ on how to easily connect a second VSS connector to the ecu without ANY new wiring! For many wires are the most confusing part of the conversion and I do my best to break it down to as simple as it can possibly be. Let me know if this video was useful to you!

Fun fact: Today would have been Dale Earnhardt’s 70th birthday. I admire Dale not because it’s a “cool” thing to do these days...but because his life has been a constant inspiration of mine as to how to live. How to positively impact your surrounding world. How to do that so much that 20 years after you’re gone...people STILL are operating in the wake of forward influence and inspiration from your life. Just like I am today helping you guys with videos like these. I could make an entire video about this topic. The dent Dale left in this world is something that was and still is a critical building block for the person I am today. Today we remember the man for the life he lived...and strive to carry the legacy he left. Go all in on what you love. All the time 💪🏻 You can find the Goodwrench inspired SAW shirt here: stapletonautoworks.com

First day of 18 u natties on dales birthday 🤔

[@daveunbranded]

If Dale seen how Pussified this country has become, I think he would have really disliked this era.

[@spedward8609]

Hell yeah dale was one of the most influential drivers of all time! You could say his name anywhere in the world and ppl will know who you are talking about all these years later

[@Matty.Hill_87]

Raise hell and praise Dale ✌️😂

[@HotRodDave]

I got to sit in Dale's pits in Atlanta at a race before he died. It was pretty awesome. I have some cool pictures that I took from a disposable camera from that day. I was probably 17 or 18 at the time

[@paxtonv505]

can we please get a shirt that says “the rotation of the earth is caused by boosted LS motors” i love that quote

[@paxtonv505]

maybe on the back/front of the upcoming uncle rob shirt!?🤨

[@sc_fg2702]

Great quote but might be to much to put on a shirt lol

[@dragsterstransmissions]

He said "your going to encounter resistance with the rubber when you push it in". After talking about pulling out. I'm Rolling 😂😂😂😂

[@Stapleton42]

😂

[@marcelneethling]

Dude, I identify so much with your life-mottoes... "Every day strive to be better than you were the day before." "If it's worth doing it's worth overdoing." Please keep being real in your videos. It's rare to find people who are real IRL, nevermind on social media. I respect the hell out of you for that.

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks man. I’m just me and always will be. Living in my head..always chewing on something. Trying to figure myself out a little more every day. As time goes on I’ll integrate more of that perspective into videos!

[@picklefart]

@@Stapleton42 how the hell do you keep your cool when a project does not want to go as planned?

Probably the only time I use this phrase is when wiring...."Pull Out Game Is Strong" 😎

Can't wait to see this at its peak at the peoples track!

[@Stapleton42]

Same!

[@sk-zi9mw]

This vid brought back some good memories....I remember how nervous I was messing with pins and plugs converting an 87 Fox to mass air, it was literally one of the easiest things I done for the build. Just gotta take your time, check twice, cut once and of course..."If they wanted you to move the brown and white wire, it would say brown and white, not brown" Hahahaha! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

[@adker1986]

Dylan watches your videos and just knows what your next day of work would include. Can't wait to see Uncle Rob vs. Your mom's mattress...

[@birminghamreefer2733]

"If you can read and choose to read" there is nothing more true than that.. I love all your videos you create they are both educational and entertaining. ty

Paper clips? Never knew my dad, but my Grandad is the one who taught me to use my brain for figuring out how to fix or make something to get the job done! I miss that man, he is a major part of who I am to this day.😷😇👍

Can't wait to see Uncle Rob run at the people's track it's going to be awesome!!!!

[@codyshaner5522]

cant wait to see you run it at the track again

[@FastTvOfficial]

Just wanted to share this tip . Hit the salvage yard and find you a torsion bar off another gmc . They make the best prybars ever. You can shift around a full DRIVETRAIN with all the leverage and it will not bent. Also I wondered 🤔 how many folks watch the videos while taking a 💩. Saw someone's comment that they we're. I knew I couldn't be the only one lol😅

[@Duramaxjon]

I’ve got big respect for good graphic designers like Jacob. Graphic designing is really hard to figure out how to make it look nice and clean

[@smallgaragebigdreams1085]

I often get asked how I decide when to have a slow pace day In the shop. I don’t decide the shop decides after it kicks my ass! Soon as they open these boarders grandma the turbo expedition is coming for uncle rob 💪🏻 full size throw down 👌

[@DigginZ71]

Hey, that sensor you added goes up front haha. It’s the ISS on the front of the case. You’ll reuse your existing tcase plug for the VSS. It shouldn’t need to be touched.

[@runwithit7438]

Me to man

[@gjponsford4892]

Pull the Pin! It Ain’t a sin! Never be afraid to mess with wiring, it’s how you learn. Thanks for showing it all.

[@telecasteroil]

You and Dylan on the same wavelength, I have that with my little brother . Great knowledge on this

[@daveunbranded]

She is getting really great at helping you. Plus, chicks read directions way better.

[@ShutErDownBud]

We only read and hear what we want 😂😂😂

[@joehoulihan5305]

Another way to do a continuity or ohms test, you could strip out the two wires you cut under the truck and wire nut them together and then test the two pins up top, when the tester rings you have your two wires, that’s how we find wires in houses when we are trouble shooting circuits.

[@greasedog5699]

@diggin_z71 is a badass. He's the reason I'm here.

Hell yeah 😎 boosted ls makes the world go round

I couldn't agree more with u on bettering urself everyday or being better than u were the day before. That's what I live by everyday. Love the videos bc I learn something everytime I watch.

Love this build bud, great content I always check out your videos as soon as I can.

[@montevallomustang]

It's cool to see you doing things the right way, I hate working on cars where someone has a rats nest of wiring. I have all my nitrous solenoids and wideband run to empty slots on the factory fuse box.

From watching the last 3 videos of Uncle Rob build to this one, your facial expression looks like your just about done even looking at the yukon! Word of advise for the tall man under a vehicle on a lift, get one of the rolling chairs from the office! Save your head and back from getting thrashed and banged up!!! Im down for 2 weeks every time i work on my truck now! Use that office chair! Your back and head will thank me 20 years from now!

[@ckearnes]

I love the knowledge and in depth nitty gritty details in these videos. Keep up the tech videos too! Im planning to take on an LS /4L80 swap soon, and these videos definitely give me a sense of comfort that im not in over my head! Keep up the peoples track vids too😂 Prime content!

Mitchell, i propose an idea, make a video sitting down with Logan telling her and us the full story of the escalade and ralph. I know you said a while back that your dad got the escalade for you because it was safe but id love to know the full story on how you built it without him knowing and how you now own a $80,000 car lmao. And also how you found Ralph i feel like theres a good story to that one!

They make a pin remover . It’s a small round tube with a slice in it . My grandma use to work in a place that made stuff like that connector . For car company’s . So all you need is a small peice of aluminum with a slice cut in to it but it’s foot a be real small . You slide it in the front to go over the little prungs and the pin will slide out the back
