PEDAL 2 THE METAL - How to Modify and Install LS SWAP Accelerator Pedal - UTX

[@3gunshooter60]

Jerry, you have guts holding the sheet metal while drilling it. I've had too many bad experiences doing that so I prefer using a vice to hold my work. You've definitely done that a few times and I pray your luck holds out. Great engineering on the fly though. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Thanks Randy. Holding it with a vice or a clamp would definitely be the smart way to do that. It would cut down on the number of band-aids that I go through for sure.

Great video. I actually used a Tahoe pedal and removed the pivot pin and adjuster. Then added a rod on top similar to the way you did yours. Thanks for the great How To Video

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Awesome! I wish KZbin would let you put pictures in the comments. Would love to see how everyone else is doing theirs. Thanks for watching! --Emily

As always great video UTX. I'm swapping my 74 k5 4x4 blazer with a 5.3. Put me in the contest for the adapter plate. I havent got around to the pedal but atleast I know now what to expect. I was wondering if you have a video on how you run your fuel pump on the squarebody. I was going back and forth on the idea of a in tank pump or external with a corvette filter/regulator. Thanks!

[@UglyTruckExperience]

I'll put your name in the hat for an adapter plate! Here are 3 videos talking about LS swap fuel pumps fuel systems. We're working on an 85 C10, but there's still a ton of good info for your K5. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5m1lXSdZ9GbmpY kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpTEcql5Z8aCjLs kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZvSZ5SFgcmoY9k In the last video, Jerry talks about the Corvette filter/regulators. We tried them and didn't have good luck, but I know a lot of people swear by them. Maybe we just got a defective one, but a fuel leak spraying onto the exhaust of a customer's truck was enough for us to go another route. Hope this helps you out, and thanks for watching! 👍 --Emily

[@UglyTruckExperience]

We send our computers out to lt1swap.com and he programs our computer for whatever we are working on, removes vats and any emissions that we are not using. He has a great website that describes all of the info he needs. We have not done a video yet but it is going to be coming up. Thanks Jerry

[@luckylarryrebuilds8604]

@@UglyTruckExperience thanks

[@pjstartv6798]

What are the advantages of using DBW over DBC? It seems like using DBC would be the easier option. I guess it's dependent on what type of throttle body your donor engine has?

[@UglyTruckExperience]

The.drive by wire engines idle better and also have quicker throttle response. They are easier to incorporate cruise control also. Probably the biggest reason they are being use so much is because there are so many of them. Thanks

[@lenorusbenton5499]

94-00 gmc diesel 6.5 pedal will mount in the stock location. You will have to swap a wire from terminal A to terminal j and add a slot in the connector for it to plug into the diesel pedal

[@UglyTruckExperience]

I've heard that, but have never been able to find one to check it out. Do you have a part number?

[@lenorusbenton5499]

I just bought 1 off ebay

I bought an 2005 suburban pedal but my donor vehicle is a 2007 denali. The plug on the pedal is different so could I splice the correct pug into my module or do I need to get a module for a 2005 suburban? Thanks for all your help, I've gotten a lot of great from them

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Not sure. I will take a look at the wiring and get back to you.

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Hello Mike. You will need to get a connector for that 05 pedal. Wire colors are the same but the pin locations are different. Pin location B Purple , C Lt Blue, D Tan, G White w/black stripe, F dark blue, E brown. Thanks Jerry

[@mikeford1678]

@@UglyTruckExperience Ok, thanks for the help

[@mikeford1678]

@@UglyTruckExperience One more question, the 2005 pedal has 9 pins and the 2007 has 6, are 3 of them not used?

[@UglyTruckExperience]

There might me 9 male pins in the connector at the pedal sensor but from the wiring diagrams I am looking at only 6 are used.

[@wsk-clown]

Question why not just weld original pedal to the drive by wire on a custom hinge so its exactly where it's supposed to be and still have original pedal look ? Personally I think it would be only semi challenging to disassemble and make a new pedal lever that uses old pedal parts. I like the look of some of the older pedals vs new.

[@UglyTruckExperience]

A person could do that as long as you have a welder. We try to show a solution that helps a larger majority of people. In this case you could do all of the work, get the pedal sitting where you like and run it to a shop and have it welded solid. We have done that with the original pedal. Same work just ends up looking different. Thanks WSK

[@wsk-clown]

@@UglyTruckExperience I'm buying my first parts car for the engine and transmission it's a 2004 dohc 5.4 4v Lincoln navigator that have PCM issues early into the vehicles life but beyond warranty. I currently have 2003 Tahoe 4.8l and 2004 Ford expedition with 5.4l 2v sohc. My plan is to use heads etc from DOHC and order a m122 a supercharger load pcm tune of 2007 Shelby mustang gt500. Since engine is same 5.4 dohc as navigator tune should work. Ford made a SVT Thunder which was a supercharged 5.4l dohc expedition but only made one in generation before 2003 would be nifty to make my own version of that rare vehicle.

I'm fighting with the brakes on my 72 k10 now. All new parts but didn't know the proportioning valve needs to be locked with a tool to bleed the brakes. I fought with that for hours trying to bleed by myself even bought a vacuum reverse kit. Never fails how easy it is to be humbled. Turns out a $8 tool is the fix. Thanks

[@billthompson5634]

Hey, I checked out the store. Mech is nice. For a non computer guy like me it appears the only shirt size is S or XS. I took a minute to click on the store button, then you see all the sizes available. I'm hoping for a quality sticker identical to the circular logo like the front of Jerry's shirt in this episode. I would put it in the back pickup window next to the engine and transmission shop stickers Just a heads up. Still love the content

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Hey Bill! For some reason, KZbin thought your comment was spam and hid it from me... 😆 I just added the circle logo sticker to our store! Here's a link! ugly-truck-experience.creator-spring.com/listing/ugly-truck-experience-logo-sti

Awesome video thank you for all the great explination on everything. Did you guys already do the plate giveaways? I'm just starting on my project. I have a beautiful, rust free 1986 c3500 3+3 daully. It currently has a 454/400. I just got a 2005 2500 donor truck with the lq4/4l80e and tore the engine all the way down. I'm taking thr block, heads and crank to the machine shop by the end of the week, just waiting on the valve springs and seals to drop off with it. Going with the stock pcm and wiring harness from psi here in jersey. Gona get the Trans rebuilt as well. I'd love one of those gas pedal plates to go in my build if they are still available. That sticker would probably add a few horses too! Keep up the great work guys. Thanks again!
