K5 Blazer brought back from the dead

On this episode we update everyone on the K5 Blazer. My buddy Brandon Wise started building this 1985 Blazer that will be his son's first vehicle. Its powered by a 2001 5.3 liter LS engine backed by a 4l80e transmission. It's sitting on a set of 35" tires and 15" Centerline wheels. It has a 73/74 front clip swapped on it. Thanks for watching.

That is a killer blue color can't wait to see it done one lucky kid

[@WithoutCertainty]

HAHA Props to you for not editing that out of the video. We have all done things like that and felt pretty stupid. At east it was an easy fix 👍

[@TheSweetPatina]

Man that N1 Textured Coating looks awesome tinted blue! 💯

[@Axial_Andrew]

12 volt Dave... Just became... High voltage ⚡ Dave!!!

[@H0T_R0D_69]

Coming along nicely! But that'll make a better 2nd vehicle, not a 1st car. First cars get wrecked, rolled or destroyed. :)

[@shanewright6958]

It’s coming along nicely 👍👍

[@robss96dcm]

My biggest fear is being broke down on the side of the road with an electrical problem and Dave showing up…. you’re the best Dave!

[@tonymorse7178]

Sure is a pretty color. Look forward to seeing progress.

[@kcclontziv3056]

At least the oil was primer very well before it started 😊. Great job 🎉

[@robgregorski2182]

Tejas steelworks is a great place for ls swap parts for square bodies. I used them on my 79 gmc with a 5.3. Nice looking rig there.

[@tonykemper8896]

ECU We dont need no stinkin ECU!! 😂😂😂 Great job the k5 is so sweet!!

[@akearns04]

The first car I ever owned was a 1987 BMW 325e that my dad and I spent every weekend putting back together for 3 months. I got to drive it for my senior year of high school, and I now have a special love for all BMWs. Now that I’m in college I had to sell that car, and I know the feeling of getting your first project to start up for the first time. This is a special project, and I love to see the enthusiasm you all share for it. Good luck, have fun!

[@leprechaungarage]

Awesome , I love blazers . Second rig was a stock 80 k5 I lifted with 39.5 swampers .

[@joehoward5424]

Don’t feel bad about forgetting ECU we’ve all forget something every now and then but we’re not taping it 😂

[@dickjohnson1158]

Almost every car guy /builder video I watch someone gets a little too anxious and overlooks something. No Worries .

[@debbiebermudez5890]

Mr. B. Here ! 👀☕️☕️🍩👍😎 ! Morning ! I don’t think I have seen one down to the frame very cool ! Nice job guys ! Keep us up to date!

[@coyboybc]

Finally someone is actually going to paint a vehicle and not let rust get clear coated !

[@emmetthaynesjr8897]

I don't understand why there are not more subscribers. 12 volt you are the man!

[@justinvanburen8259]

That thing is bad ass!!

[@williamgarrity9482]

That's funny ,no ecu hooked up .lol.when me n my son started my fist ls rebuild in my 67 c 10 it didnt start , long story short a brand new BAD position sensor .thanks for sharing ,God bless yall real good.

[@DeanofMachines]

Im impressed with how quickly that started up! Hes going to have a sweet ride when its done!

[@adamg1408]

Build coming along nicely.

[@brianrichardson7946]

Really coming along nicely and that would be a great vehicle for anyone and as a 1st vehicle for his son that's even better, especially if he's helping his dad put it together.

[@JohnRoberts71]

Great content thanks for sharing

[@tomsilven]

Great content, thanks. 😎

[@lukeunruh7102]

My brother had a 76 Jimmy that was blue over white top before he passed away. My mom drove it for a while but it started having problems. Truck had a 400 in it and the mechanic swindled her, told her it needed a new motor, pulled the 400 and stuck a junkyard 350 in it. The truck never ran well after that and before I was old enough to know better she sold it off for 1500 bucks. I’d kill to have that truck back.

[@CharlesSmith-gw7gp]

Cool! I had a 73 and a 79 blazer. Had fun with the 73, not so much with the 79.

[@hammersgarage]

Cool rig!

[@timothymilam732]

Must of been sum good snuff y'all boys were Dippin that day, and I wasn't aware that Copenhagen caused short term memory loss. Maybe explains why I can have sumthin in my hands one minute, and few minutes later I've lost whatever it was never to see it again. That's very nice color, reminds me of my 74 Cheyenne that was blue with white insert between the trim on each side. Miss that ole truck, but then I miss all my old trucks. Y'all fellas take it easy on that dip during the heat of the day. 😂😂

[@richardharvey8939]

Love the color my 04 hd 2500 is similar factory.

[@jefffisk5533]

You're not idiots for forgetting ecu,you are human and make the same mistakes as all of us. I think that is what is what makes KZbin great.

[@kevinsalexander]

12 volt Dave! Muuuhhhhaaaahhhaaaaa

[@aaronwilliams6562]

We all get in a hurry sometime

[@blownmouse]

The color is perfect. Can't wait to see it finished.

[@mattdoucette5050]

Lol glad u heard me yelling at the tv lol theressss nooooo eeeeeccccuuuuu lol

[@1962markstubson]

David , I always knew you’d break away from Finnegan. I’m glad I found you and your channel. Keep pumping them out.

[@marks93cobra]

I don't think ya'll are idiots, you're just excited to get it started and forgot that ONE LITTLE THING that happens to everybody..kinda makes me feel good when I do something stupid knowing that you guys make mistakes too :) love the channel Dave, keep it up!

[@jeff008thepunk]

Not having the thing connected that makes the vehicle run then wondering why it doesn’t run…. Been there lol

[@Bumblebee4788]

"Haste makes Waste"😵‍💫

[@barryhebert5839]

At least y’all was able to prime the oil system before hooking the computer

[@brianhyatt5547]

Loved my K5!

[@lesnicholson3578]

Thanks again from Berea Kentucky!✌️😎

[@zippy39008]

Newbern, it seems to me like your view to subscriber ratio is amongst the highest on the UTUBE. Nice.

[@brettfox6816]

My Dad before he died in 2015 gave me his 76 k5 he bought new in San Diego Ca. I want to restore it but can't wield and everything cost so most to have someone else do it. It a shame it's just rusting away here.

[@williamgarrity9482]

Thier is no word CANT .you can do it , if man can do it you can to .me and my son learned to weld from watching it on KZbin over n over n over with a cheep welder we bought on Facebook market place , now we weld grind fab metals n paint in our small garage , God bless yall real good.

[@user-ez3gj8re6i]

Testing you 12volt😮

[@fossilfuelenthusiast]

We want to see the Foxbody!

[@dieterlange7581]

Another Bitchin video good work Newbern loving your channel👍🇺🇸👌🍺

[@jovanda8364]

That's gold lol

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

I'm diggin it!

[@craigengelman1369]

nice build wish i had the money to build one !

[@eddiegoodwin6611]

Now the oil is circulated through the engine. Totally meant to do that!!!!

[@dsb1829]

I had to skip the troubleshooting section, but jumped back in to see the look on your face when you realized the ECU was not there 😅🤣😂

[@MurphyWallace]

Ain't got no computer lol. Nice build

[@markgoddard3115]

Hey get those hood supports from VGG For it they safe the hood plus look cool awesome first ride!!!!

[@wbball15]

I feel more like 12 Volt Dave now.

[@shawnknight421]

Hey stuff happens I forget to plug stuff in all the time I didn’t even see that it was unplugged until you said something about it

[@shawnknight421]

Do you have a two door tri-5 that you would sell?

[@richardmallos5940]

I dont know about everyone else, but I would love to see more on the Yellow Ford truck in the background.

[@richardharvey8939]

The Ford is in its natural habitat and you don’t have to walk home or tow it back to shop. 😂

[@andrewhayes5353]

You were just testing the starter! That’s all 😂

[@robertmattox9715]

Nothing wrong w a kid getting first car as a half monster truck .

[@wrench_n_ride8159]

Hey, you were just making sure the engine had plenty of oil where it needed to be. 😂

[@howardhudson7214]

At least you primed the oil system real good before it fired. Lol they don't call you 12 volt dave for nothing.

[@matt72991]

Looking good. I was wondering how long it was gonna take to realize there was no PCM... It happens

[@joethepirate1]

I didn't say anything about the ECU, but I did say to myself, "you ain't got no spark". Close enough, for me... LOL

[@br549200]

I would have just edited that out😏

[@jakewhitehawk9230]

Dave needs a 🎤 wen he’s not holding the camera lol

[@David-82]

Where is the hood 😂 is that the one DD speed shop setup for a tunnel ram 🤣

[@deegan727]

I’d like to know what headers those are. There’s plenty of long tube options for the 2wd trucks, but LS swapping these 4x4s with long tubes seem to be trial and error with many headers or using really expensive ones advertised to fit this application.

[@12VoltDave]

I'll find out

[@deegan727]

@@12VoltDave Thanks I really appreciate it.

[@darinbazinet3473]

Watching this BEFORE Finnegan's latest 😅

[@andrewmcewan8081]

have u not heard , nothing is more permanant than temperary wireing that works .

[@setevn11]

You didn't forget the ecu. You were just building oil pressure.....

[@jamesmoats3468]

Does anyone know if I can put an OBS steering column in a square body?

[@jamiemoen-bi3gd]

🇺🇲💯✌

[@therawsonsrepairshed8609]

Ive had a k5 on my list for awhile now... where is the kid at during this process?

[@WeekendPursuitOutdoors]

Where did you guys get the new front sheet metal from?

[@user-wu5ni3ux9m]

Can you tell me what brand and color the paint is on the K5 Blazer firewall?

[@anthonyvirgadamo898]

Come on 12 volt Dave

[@jamesshirley5875]

Why isn’t the fan turning while y’all cranking it?

[@tiresafire]

No belt

[@jordangryg5442]

hey do you know when faster is coming out with new episodes latest one is still with goldberg ,

[@dieterlange7581]

I didn't wanna say anything😂

[@ClimptonDiddlehopper]

8:20 you will NEVER get an LS to start with that low battery. The ecu requires at least 10 volts (9.somethinh call it 10) for the ecu to even gire off. If an LS is cranking slow not starting it never will so no reason to keep trying. Learned that one in like 99 or 00...

[@ClimptonDiddlehopper]

Wow then move 4 minutes ahead...

[@JDGeorge240sx]

i know i want a gmc s15.... i dont need a k5, i dont need a k5 i dont need it........

[@jwray9799]

What ever you do.... KEEP TONY AWAY FROM IT!!!!

[@user-yz1mp6oi6m]

ECU.... no thanks. We don't need none.
