I’d rather wire a 30k sqft house than one computer controlled vehicle!
That is the wrong filter for that pan on the transmission. You're gonna trash that trans
I lost faith, when you decided to go single exhaust.
@powernation I wish y’all would’ve have gone in detail,the wiring for the obs side. As far what to keep and what to remove. This would really help us subscribers doing our own obs ls swap. I love y’all’s content and hopefully in the near feature you can do an episode on the wiring for 1988-1994 obs ls wiring.
Can you please get ahold of me, I have a 94 GMC Suburban that I have put so much time, blood, sweating and tears into and found out a large part of the frame rotted after it sat in my yard for 5 years after the rear axle grenaded. I am still fighting stage 4 cancer and now they found two new growths. I put everything that I could scrape together into my baby and can’t afford to repair anything anymore from being on social security disability and can’t find any veteran’s organizations to help me keep my transportation to and from the VA Clinic and Metro Cancer Center here in Wyoming, Michigan. Please if you have a way to help me get my frame fixed or replaced soon I would be eternally grateful. I don’t have very much money but I will give you everything I have for your help. Thank you very much for your channel and wonderful buildings for me to watch during this battle. I spent 15 years 3 months and 18 days in the military before my spinal cord injury here at home that ended my military career but I will never give up this battle for my life.
3:45 what the heck 😂😂😂😂
@ 9;10 jeez ! didn't know Jimmy was hung, look at his BULGE ! wow , looks yumm
Hey I've been wanting to do this for so long, even my 96 needs 5.3
Just got a chubby at start up 😬
Guys, guys…i just watched the video and looks like you put the wrong transmission filter in…looks like you are using the deep pan and installed the shallow pan filter…if you need to, check out the guys at precision transmission.
Use a terminator much simpler and world's better
Custom exhaust would be building a hotside for a turbo setup. this is a slam dunk lol lol
Love the content. Am I the only one with really loud music background and relatively low voice volume? Thanks
Awesome
Why aren't there any black people in power nation weird
awkward moment when you used a shallow pan filter with a deep pan
😁🖖👌✌👍😎
I would have ran a duel exhaust on it 2x flow master cats and 2x flow master 40 series mufflers and run the tips behind the wheels.
Awesome!
I have a lot of engines and accessories
Or you can throw away that ugly ass rats nest of wires and put a carb on it
Damn, did Jimmy lose a bet?!🤣
My grandpa has a 93 silverado
This is a lesson on how not to make an exhaust system. These morons made the same mistake that chevy, did virtually t-ing the two banks. Mistake two staying 2.5 inch after the merge. The horrible exhaust killed about 40 hp, maybe more. Last this if this a budget why not stay with the oe manifolds?
👍👍🇺🇲 let's go Brandon
Technically, if that's a 96, wouldn't that be a C/K1500 or C/K2500 and not REALLY a Silverado?? Silverado was offered as an option package, but it wasn't the model itself. In 1999 Chevy released the Chevy Silverado .
those header bolts will not last
One thing that always drives me nuts, is that you guys ALWAYS SAY this stuff is tedious and boring. BULLSHIT! I WANT TO KNOW, EVERYTHING! Not one data point is irrelevant. SHOW EVERYTHING! Don't just say, "We're eliminating the circuits we're not using". I want to know what circuits you're eliminating. Stop half assing it.
That exhaust setup🙉
For me I would've installed dually exhaust on this old Chevy OBS.
You guys put the wrong filter in the transmission and your going to burn it up fast that filter is for a shallow pan and you have a deep pan
Would've loved to see more on the wiring
Saludos desde México arriba Culiacán Sinaloa brrgas ❤️
I was excited about this project, I would love to ls swap an obs, u started losing me with the "cheap" build. By the time u did the exhaust I felt really let down. I get that it needs to be legal, but you had an opportunity take something really cool and I feel like this missed the mark
I really enjoy your guy's work and it has helped me out big-time in so many ways:) thank you!
You used a deep trans pan and a shallow filter. thats a no-no. you also didnt reinstall the plastic retainers over the trans line retainer clips. another big no-no. Geez!
Finally the new episode
Can you not use an oil pump priming tool on LS engines? I have the 5.7 Vortec that would have been in this kind of truck and I just run the primer with a drill.
