Stock Gen V drivetrain swap in a C10

www.swaptimeusa.com for Gen V C10 swap parts

[@kennethgray1743]

ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR!!! Do you think this truck is ready for a cross country trip?

[@swaptimeusa]

Getting close for LS fest in Texas. Doing ac install next week and rear gears. After that it's just small things.

[@frankyhuizar2449]

What power steering pump set up is that? I could use something like that for my 72 with an L83

[@jloera2004]

Two things… one how are you using 2010 camaro gaskets on a LT motor? Two, will champion warranty trans too if radiator caused coolant and trans fluid to mix?

[@BizzoEd]

How much does a swap like this cost? My truck hasn’t been moved since 2020 and I think it’s time to bring it back.

[@XavierDaly06]

What upper radiator hose is that?

[@pablo3735]

What about the open ports on valve covers. What do you do with those

[@andrewevans7181]

Do you still have the aluminum tank I want it I also have a factory tank I could throw in the deal

[@VON92]

You have to be an engineer not just a mechanic to do a swap. The little miscellaneous parts trying to get everything to fit and fabricated is a headache

[@swaptimeusa]

Thats why once I figure something out I that is needed in a swap I sell it on my website. I have the C10 shift Cable, Radiator and Fan combo, Bolt in pedal, ECU and TCM Mount, along with part numbers for the radiator hoses. It can make a swap a weekend of fun instead of a month of headaches waiting on parts that you find out you need.

[@trevorball9037]

Man you’ve converted me from ls, Already on the hunt for l83 / 8l90! Do you do anything about the 8l90 torque converter issues? Or any maintenance you recommend on the Lt such as DOD delete or not necessary?

[@swaptimeusa]

The main fix for the 8l90 is to use the updated Transmission fluid. I have not had any torque converter issues yet.

[@rogerquintana4045]

@@swaptimeusa I’m on a budget and I’m thinking of getting a l83 with a 8l90 but I have heard many people have issues with that transmission, should I spend more $$ and try to find a 10speed?

What upper radiator hose is that and do you sell it? @swaptime

[@Edgar-and-Wrench]

Can you make a video where you tune either a 8l90 or 6l80 to a truck that has 3.73 gears or gears close to that? I know in a previous video you mentioned or inferred that these transmissions like higher gears in the rear. Thank you!

[@swaptimeusa]

I have 3.08 gears to be installed. No amount of tuning will fix too much gear reduction. First gear is useless with 3.73s.

[@Edgar-and-Wrench]

@@swaptimeusa crap. I have a c1500 with 30 in tires and 3.73 gears.

[@swaptimeusa]

@@Edgar-and-Wrench A 30 inch tire helps so you might be fine. Gm had trucks with the 8l90 with 3.73 gears.

[@Edgar-and-Wrench]

@Swap Time yea my 2016 sierra had the 6.2 8l90e with max towing. But im not sure if it was 3.42 gears or 3.73

[@nateherd9335]

@@Edgar-and-Wrench max trailer package should be 3.42.

[@bossking4684]

Where u get the chrome radiator hold down plate?

[@swaptimeusa]

I made it

[@Bino-zm9bl]

L83 or l86?
