The royalty free "eye of the tiger" copy was hilarious.
Fake "Eye of the Tiger" yesssssss
What I look for in a LS is pistons; rods and a crank.
Vid is all conversation and no mechanic work. This channel has evolved into crap. Forget powernation.
these weird ass camera angles funny af
It'll buff out.
Why are you reposting videos i watched this weeks ago!!!
Whats funny the suburban is still worth more then the old dust bunny they are wanting the motor for
👌👌🙌❤️🤩
I had to swap my 4th gen 5.3 on my 08 Silverado and ended up with a 3rd gen 6.0. I had to get my old crank sensor pressed onto the 3rd gen engine and switch out the cam sensor as well. Then I fired it up and it was only running on four cylinders. I had to drive it home across town about 15 MI like that. I took the ECU out and brought it to some tuner guy and he charged me $200 I think it was to change everything so that it worked correctly. I've been driving it over a year like this and it runs pretty well. Unfortunately the guy who did it screwed something up and I have a massive oil leak maybe from the main seal I'm not sure, I just keep putting oil in it until I figure out what the hell needs done to fix it. I did put a Melling high volume oil pump on it and it has great oil pressure.
About to hit my local PnP for a LS/trans combo myself so this video fits perfectly…. on a side comment you guys must have bought that rig off some tweaker in Portland Oregon
I wanna see some coyote stuff man
These past few days watching my crypto portfolio decline is very disheartening. Holding doesn't really profit much. Any ideas on how to earn better on the short run?
Great episode. I actually have no power to the door of that error about 1975. Back in the day all I can remember them using them calling the movies are smashing them up. It's interesting that there's a increase interest in them now.
This will be a good swap. Kinda wish you’d make it a complete AWD swap into that boat. Haven’t seen seen an awesome AWD setup into a land yacht since Leno did it with his Oldsmobile.
My son and i put a LS1 in his long wheel base mercedes sprinter van was a long of work but well worth it
Recycled Video you released this a month ago!!! How about a new video.
I love watching you guys work on these machines. 🙂
I love how much misleading info these videos have.
Man I love these bills
Great commercial! More work less selling stuff
Regarding the GMC Yukon's lack of maintenance and blatant neglect: why do people in the United States buy vehicles that they cannot afford to maintain?
I know I'm not having deja Vu! I've seen this breakdown before???
I've seen this before. Why did you release this twice? Not judging, just curious.
Follow up, side note to https://youtu.be/fhTIg53YiBk how is that project going?
Looks at the Yukon: Leaky sunroof, New wheels, and chipping paint is just too much work. Better scrap it.
Now..let's pull the motor, tesr it down, at FI, restore a 45 year old car, and swap the motor.
Lol. Spoken like a true car guy.
I'm having deja vu…
Did you just upload this video a week ago?
Wasn’t this video up a while back?
This episode was already shown not too long ago!Now you are doin repeats on youtube?
I doubt that Denali has had regular oil changes. Just sayin.
Is this a re-upload?
My style of powertrain swap for a restomod, it's using a donor car, and swap not only the powertrain as the ECU and all modules. The less custom components used, the easier to maintain.
Moped to Massey Ferguson was funny asf
Is that motor a LQ4 or a LQ9?
The 5.3 and 6.0 is not an LS,it is an LS style with a cast iron block.Those locking tabs,I take off and toss.I call them pain in the ass tabs not needed.Autozone starters and alternators are trash called Durashit,Durablast and many more names.Will need tools on hand to replace them a lot
All I can hear is ls ls ls. Why not do some stuff with a real engine. The 7.3 liter Ford Godzilla.
