Engine Bay and Interior Prep #ETCGDadsTruck (Part 2)

1. Hey Eric, where did you find the manual with all the stock wiring like you have used in this series.

2. 11:52 Eric open up the switch and flip the leads on the LED light, solved. Or you can add relays to flip polarity on the switch. I am actually local and would help you get that light to come on for free if you need help let me know bud.

   This is to some of the viewers. I am confident Eric knows this already I just had to explain in greater detail for those confused with illuminated switches.
   On a 3-Pole Illuminated Switch the diagram is usually on the side of the switch.
   *One of the poles will be your "Power In" [Generally Constant 12v or Accessory Ignition] this needs to be fused with a fuse rating that matches the amperage capability as the switch.
   *One of the poles will be your load or in other words whatever your turning on with the switch. Most loads require more amperage than these tiny switches can handle, if that is the case then run this wire to the coil side of a relay and wire your load to the relay. The relay must have its own fuse just like the switch. Typical SPDT Automotive relays are 30Amp & 40Amp. If the loads demand for current is greater than the relay can handle then you can put a higher current handling "Solenoid" instead, these can generally handle your load in an automobile but also have a current handling capacity and must be fused.
   *One of the poles will be your ground for the illumination when the switch is turned to the on position.
   The LED light acts just like a diode and only allows current to flow in one direction to light up, it is biased and can only be connected properly one way. Where as a Bulb with a filament in it will allow current to flow in either direction to light up, it has no polarity and can not be wired backwards, it is unbiased.
   Enjoy

3. Add a button that says; "Do Not Push!". Connect it to a passenger side seat shaker and a horn hidden in the passenger seat headrest as well as a hidden/electronically triggered water mister aiming at the passenger seat. 😀

4. Where do u find the back raping that goes around the wireing to protect it . Wire loom I think it's called that covers the wireing and makes it look neat and protected . My factory stuff has broken away on my wireing on my 87 chevy celebrity eurosport 2.8 and trying to find some but has to be very high temp so it doesn't melt of course. I looked in your description but didn't see it

5. Eric where's the motor videos?!!!!!

6. i got three projects not sure witch one i'm going to do next first one is a 79 z28 rs t top camaro second is a 70 ford ranger high boy the and a 65 chevy pu short wide box but have many many more sitting i collect any chevy ford or dodge from 79 and older been filling up 10 acres just for rigs most are rust free i live in oregon have many parts for pu's i just give away a chevy pu that had a LS 350 in it all that was wrong with it was the trans was bad needed rebuilt i get rigs for free all the time even nice one's like a 79 short box 4×4 Cheyenne full option truck with only 34,000 miles on it in mint condition just needed a fuel pump with a bunch of camaro's all parked in a shop the 15 rigs out side all for free don't worry my friend hate me too the deals i get just blows people minds the only rig that i talked about that cost me money was my 68 for a 1000 bucks with a rebuilt 327 running and driving good clean body all the chrome

7. 20:30 the actual lesson is to always solder your connections.

8. Love the channel it's so helpful
   Got a 91 swb 5.7 doing the freakin BRAKES
   ABS delete Thanks man

9. Great info, thanks Eric. I am looking into installing a 5.3L into my 47 Chevy pick up. Can you recommend a place to purchase the adapter engine mounts?

10. Out of pure curiosity why did you not just wire the fan relays to also be activated by the same source that activates the ac compressor clutch? This way you don't need the manual switch.

11. Showing that support for that quality content

12. no need to swear

13. Hi Eric I love the style of the timelapse and recap of this video. Could be awesome to have a recap vid at the end of each of these big project series for those who didn't have the time for each individual long vid but still want to know what steps you took. Love your videos Eric you inspire me to work on my own car. Be safe.

14. Hmm a ground circuit switch is still switching power, it's just on the ground side of the load, led on switch should still work if grounded…

15. Mark the switch quiet/loud.

    😎/😠 thats it!! Little stickers?

16. Really liking this series and especially like the cooling system assembly off the truck. So much easier to visualise. Keep going Eric!

17. Love your videos, Eric! Always entertaining, informative, and helpful. It sucks when things don't work as expected but good to see your installs aren't scripted and work out exactly as you expect. This, to me, is much more realistic to what you'll find in doing your own projects. Expect the unexpected! Thanks again, man!

18. Great video Eric Some good Information and Details see you on the next video Eric

19. How much more do I have to take apart before I finish the modification for this one thing so know how you feel eric

20. lmao 'i dont even need eyes' freakin died laughing

21. I would like to have exhaust cut out on my camaro

22. Hi EricTheCarGuy a while I follow your videos I find them excellent, I learned many things thanks to you. Today I have subscribed to your channel and I would like to ask you something about a problem with a Chrysler sebring 3.5l 2008. It works normal in P or N and works very well in R but when I put D this one jumps and shuts off the engine. I turn it on again and the same thing happens. There are no error codes the check engine light is off. I took it to the dealer and they put a new pcm but the problem continues. I will be very grateful if you please give me an idea that it can be

23. for a fact stop posting your videos your not working anymore your done go back to yo mybe u can save face

24. how ever yo make your money keep going. eric o is my bet

25. Eric, put some Dynamat on the inside of the BM shifter enclosure and it won’t sound so plastic cheap when you shift it. This is a nice truck. Thanks for sharing the build.

26. Eric when you find oil in the radiator on a 1997 V 6 Chevy Camaro with a 4 Speed Manual Transmission and your compression is fine could it still be the Head Gaskets or something else ? Note: No Water in the Crank Case and She Runs Great no issue in Performance It's a V 6 though so there's that. Tried your Facebook however, it deleted my question. Any help in the mystery of finding oil under your radiator cap will be much appreciated !! Also no channel on here has any info on Manual Transmission & Motor oil in radiator water issues … Could be another Video my Friend lol. Cobra : )~

27. Love your approach and style Eric. Added you as a featured channel on my YouTube. Keep up the clean content and thanks for all the great tips!

28. Use an additional relay to get the blue light on the switch working…..

29. I bought those same connectors from Amazon. Junk. The metal part that is crimped is not long enough

30. Dan of Normal Guy Supercar had exhaust valves just like that cutout valve on his Ferrari F430, and they kept breaking over and over and over again. Apparently that type is very unreliable.

31. I have the factory vent cover for the center of the dash if you want it, the one you have is either for an aftermarket radio or for the factory equalizer

32. Q: If my car's opacity is 1%, what is it's nox emissions (ball park figure). tnx Eric.

33. Eric. another great video. get rid of those crimpers! and get yourself something like this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Klein-Tools-9-1-2-in-Crimping-Tool-1005SEN/100352095 you will save a lot of re-crimping.

34. Hey Eric, it's been a while since I've been in one of those dashes. I think the a/c controller has to be put in first, then the radio goes in. Great videos and looking forward to seeing this project completed.
