can't believe I slid it into a curb! I think it'll be OK with a new axle shaft though.

Like the fact that you put the good the bad and the ugly in... Keep up the good work... I may have thumped a couple of curbs in my days... 😂

Exactly. Hit it on the head. When I do this stuff there are obstacles to overcome (and curbs that reach out and grab ya!) so it's great and helpful to see how they're overcome in these projects.

[@savage6394]

I’m so happy you included the transmission issues and the fix. Anyone that has ever built a vehicle or done any large repairs has run into problems. It’s frustrating watching channels that make it seem as if everything always goes to plan.

Brake clean will take that white lettering right off of those rubber hose clamps! Loving this build series, beautiful craftsmanship!!

[@koybaker643]

Im glad that transfer case worked out for ya! I came down to the shop to deliver and LT even fed me lunch couldn't have gone to a better home! Hopefully the damage is nothing major I definitely have done that more times than id like to admit! 😂

If you and @SarahnTuned joined forces, the world would tremble with awe at the display of OCD and skill. Also, in 1988 I slid a Caprice Classic about 500' across sheet ice in a parking lot and ended up on top of a snow pile 25 feet high, so...

[@sadiejustin]

About 20 years ago, I had a 98 GMC k2500 big block truck on 33" BFG all terrains. Stuffed it over a curb, jacking around just like that. However, instead of just checking a wheel and driving off, I de-beaded the right rear. Did I mention I was a half hour away from home, and of course, the spare was flat. Tow truck buddy hooked me up, but I was 2.5hrs late getting home to the wife. She was pleased.

[@stevea6722]

She was pleased. I believe the word you were looking for is "pissed".

@stevea6722 100% true.

[@AgOG47]

While I feel bad you bent an axle shaft, I really did enjoy the last bit. Made me smile irl.

[@Goldstandardmachine138]

Dude, again. Awesome. Love the finishing/detailed work. There’s no point in doing it unless it’s done right. Very very clean radiator install. Like everything else. I definitely cannot afford a the same radiator (attempting a swap for under $2500 and I’m close) but will be looking for one on the summit ding and dent section that’s close and build a similar mount system on my first gen awd s15 jimmy.

[@TheBeerBox80]

This truck sounds great.

[@70sAirForceBrat]

The 4L60e valve body spring pressures are different between the V6 and V8.

[@Sir.VicsMasher]

One good thing about having an extended cab is that you can cage it without bars going through the rear window.

[@kevins.7990]

If you suspect that a ball joint may be faulty in this generation of 4x4 vehicles, but you find that there is no play when checking the ball joint, it is likely not the source of your problem. This is especially true if the issue temporarily disappears after you open and close the hood. In such cases, the problem is related to the hood hinges, which require lock washers to eliminate any slack. This slack can create sounds and sensations similar to those of a bad ball joint when you hit a bump, causing those sensations to travel down the firewall to your feet. This can lead you to mistakenly believe that the ball joint is the culprit when it is not. General Motors has issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) addressing this issue.

[@taylorpratt6287]

For the black wrinkle paint I’ve had good luck warming the can up before painting and if you read the can it’ll tell you when you can use a heat gun to tighten up the wrinkle. Both help from getting those spots. It still just happens sometimes but the heat definitely helps

[@dalehall2993]

Acetone or rubbing alcohol will take the white lettering off those rubber shrink clamps...

[@stevenweikart2258]

Been there-done that... Love this build!

[@ChevyARt15]

It is okay to mess up. It is also a good way to learn and to fix your mistakes. It make me feel better about my lack of tuning skills, but I keep trying. I'm not a mechanic, I'm not a tuner. I'm just an enthusiast.​

First off that radiator setup is beyond neat, good call on that it looks good. And two what paint did you use to paint that intake piping? That looks pretty good to be and would paint my intake piping that way instead of getting it coated.

[@bigtowwow314]

The lettering on those heat shrink clamps for the radiator hose should come off with a little bit off brake clean.

Bro, I love your ocd. That's a dream for someone wanting you to build their ride or buying a ride from you.

[@Thundarr995]

If the speedometer isn't reading the correct speed. Then, the ECM doesn't know where or when to shift. Basically, it messes up the shift points. Even installing different size tires/rims can mess the shift points up. And count the mileage incorrectly.

[@grayman7914]

Hey, don't feel bad. Back in 95 I waited months for a special order LT1 6 spd Z28 and day I picked it up I went across a median sideways and bent the axle, sheared off the front Fender block as well. The shock cracked the fiberglass rear hatch also.. It was ugly.

[@jsclayton]

Love this sleeper!!

[@Michael-sy8fc]

Sweet build! Question though, any reason for using ATF and not auto trak II fluid in the transfer case?

[@alexmcginnis437]

The white letters I’m one off the hose clamps with brake cleaner/acetone/similar. But you have to wipe it off before you shrink it down. If you wait till after it melts into the clamp

[@BG-vq9fd]

I have a good friend that was a little grumpy one snowy morning. The first intersection near his house he was used to doing a donut. He normally did it in 2-HI. That morning it was in AUTO so it acted differently and he clipped a sign. He was really upset with himself.

[@pjl1919]

You can take the lettering of the shrink fitting with carb cleaner or brake cleaner

Have you used the “blue cat” tool for transmission tuning with HP tuners. Highly recommend it if you haven’t, awesome tool.

Glad you got that t-case squared away. Guess it's a good idea to have a spare when doing one of these builds. What hp/tq are those cases good for?

Did you do anything special to the miter saw to cut metal besides the blade?

[@iroekyjHD]

I love how picky he is with the trans, my 4l60E slams every single gear no matter the load lol- I'll be like 10% throttle off a stop sign and it will shift into second gear like a 16 year old matting the gas in a Honda civic

[@iankerr1549]

lol that ls not good brother 🤣🤣

[@AndyR1982]

I cant remeber from past videos if you plan on keeping thr 60e. But, I highly recommend a Transgo hd2 kit if you keep it. I have found that modifying the spacer plate per Gils instructions and running slightly higher line pressures is kinder to the fragile 60e than running sky high pressures. Oh and definitely a Corvette servo and an upgraded 4th servo.

Thanks for this series. What are your thoughts on the 4l60? I have a 60 and an 80 available to rebuild. I will be going turbo and shooting for 750-800 at the crank. The truck is fairly light, but still not feeling real good about the 60. Thanks for any input.

[@SS12v]

Check out the LS1Tech forums! Lots of good information to read into on the 4L60es on rebuilding them and making them live A set of Borg Warner High Energy 3-4 clutches should help a lot, then typical shift kit stuff like springs, valves, drilling the separator plate feed holes

[@y5mgisi]

The worst part about doing things right, is when you have to un do it. It's like you put so much energy into making an install perfect, and then have to undo your perfection... It's the worst.

[@Bakyardwiz]

[@tptrsn]

Summer only tires take ALL of the fun out of snow and ice!! Can relate, Lol.. Regarding the 3-4 shift, I kind of think it probably just feels different because the converter is staying locked through the shift now. OH! Also, I'm super curious about the theoretical possibility of flipping one of those transfer cases for a right side front drive in my Cayenne? Wondering if all there is to it is to make a new oil pump pickup tube to pickup oil from the new "bottom" of the case, and of course deal with moving the vent an that other plug thing... With those things handled and a clocking ring, could it work?
