Thank you for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it. I'm editing the second part of repairing his truck now, so stay tuned. Thanks again for watching and subscribing.

Very nice, super clean. I agree, the newer ones don't do it for me either. I like some electronics, but now there is so much involved in every function of the vehicle. I feel that in years to come so many of these new vehicles will be left to die because the cost to repair will be too high, meanwhile these will continue to live on.

That's awesome. The 99-07 is my personal favorite. But there is no argument that these were great trucks. This one is on its second transmission. Thanks for watching the video.

Thanks for watching the video.

They are still everywhere. This is my dads truck, and he really likes how simple and reliable it is. This one has something like 370000km on it. During my apprenticeship, these were the trucks everyone had, the 99-07 trucks were still new at that point. It's funny almost 20 years later and I'm still working on them. Thanks for watching the video.

love those trucks still driving my 91 GMC

Huh, huh, huh, huh. That kid is weird. Butt head impersonation.

Thank you for the tips. I do plan on replacing the rear water control valve, me putting that spring in there was just a temporary repair just to try the machine. I didn't want to sink money in a machine that doesn't work. I dont know if I'll do anymore seadoo videos. Boats and watercraft are not really my thing. But thank you for watching my video.

I noticed that as well. Dont have too much history on the machine, so not sure when that was done.

Right on. That's what it about, I enjoyed doing this swap. I like the challenge of solving each little problem you run into. Thanks for watching.

@TheBackyardTech Yes sir!!! I started making videos for my grandkids to follow me when they can't be wrenching with me. I know people don't like the Gen 4 because of the transmission control moduals and the Canbus. I watched Ugly Truck Experience and Jerry figured out how to make the a/c work through the ECU so it'll idle the engine up. And also cruise control. Cool, that is definitely useful. Now that I am getting older, I am going to have a/c. Lol. Cruise control I can live without, lol.

@@GrandPitoVic I completely understand. Seems like every vehicle I buy for a swap has no factory A/C, so I'm left suffering the heat in the summer. But I have another swap planned in the future, and that will absolutely have A/C. I've even had the idea of taking an A/C from another car and making kind of a stand alone system, making it's own box and tucking it behind the seat or in the back seat in a car. Still just an idea at this point though.

Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching.

Good to know, thank you. I'm not really up to speed in the marine world.

It isn't the lines that causes this is the brass fitting.

That's kind of the plan with this one, just get out and bomb around a bit. I have a hard time with the going slow part lol. Thanks for watching

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.

Thank you I appreciate it. I wanted to learn to tig weld because when your building a car and need to modify a part it's pretty much an essential skill. But guess it was just kind of bad luck that I chose the worst scenario to be my first time lol. Thanks for watching, and again for the kind words.

Thanks for the info. If I ever need any in the future I'll keep that in mind.

Thanks, you're not the first to say it. lol

That is a very real possibility. But in the case that is does give up, I have a ford 8.8 I can swap in. But I'm kind of using it as an experiment, just to see what it can handle and how long it will last.

Yes I did. It goes through the rad first, then through the auxiliary cooler, then back to the transmission.

Thanks for watching!

Your very welcome.

Your welcome, thanks for watching!

Ya man, whatever works for you and your needs. Thanks for watching

It is a Danmar M6. It's made by the company that makes the Maxx jacks hoist. It's the step above the maxx jacks. It has automatic locks where the maxx jacks has locking pins.

@TheBackyardTech Thank you sir for replying it's amazing when someone like you puts your vision to work.

Thank you for the kind words, and for watching the video.

Hello, I did not replace the pistons. I used the factory installed pistons.

Thanks for watching!

It worked great with the stock manifold and injectors, until it didn't. In hindsight, my recommendation would be to run 5 or 6 psi of boost rather than the 10 or 11 we were pushing. I think the factory injectors would have an easier time keeping up to that.

It's the stock dipstick and tube. I did have to manipulate it slightly. I also cut away a small ridge on the heater box just to keep it from rubbing.

ok thanks for the information. Truck looks good.

No worries. Thank you. Thanks for watching the video.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed. I will. Thanks for watching.

Right on, it was pretty time consuming but, I'm very pleased with how the exhaust turned out. The video doesn't do justice on how good it sounds. Thanks for watching the video.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for giving it a watch.

@@TheBackyardTech You had a whole vehicle to remove the engine, Transmission, ECU, and Harness right?

Correct. I used a complete 2001 Silverado to utilize all of its parts.

I can take some measures from my template that I saved. You may have to fiddle with it to make it fit up, because I did deviate slightly when I made the real thing. But it's late right now, So I'll do it another time. To be fair, you're not the only one that likes it. I even had a guy tell me to start producing them. Maybe I'll make a short video devoted to the crossmember measurements so people can copy it.

Just a heads up, I made a video with all the crossmember measurements, materials used and how I built it. Hope this helps you make a copy for yourself.

​@@TheBackyardTechthat's rad! I will check that out ASAP! Cheers

People keep saying that. A guy on an ls forum sent one away and had it tested. Came back as cast iron, even showed the test sheet. But regardless of what they are made of people weld them all the time, I just did everything in my power to come out the other side with a good result.

Not stupid at all. Yes you can, as long as the s10 came with the 4.3 engine. The 4.3 is the same pattern as a small block chevy, which is the same as the LS. The 4 cylinders have the same pattern as the the 60 degree V6, like the 2.8 liter, so they will not fit. Possibly some company out there makes an adapter to bolt up the smaller pattern, but from the factory just the 4.3 stuff is the same.

My honest opinion, is it's a ok engine in its stock form. If you are just gonna drive it, it's fairly reliable. They do have there known issues, like head gaskets and timing chain/tensioner failure, but both are quite easy to repair. For modifications there are much better options. Plus there is pretty much no aftermarket support for this engine.

Thanks, that's cool man. I will be doing a SBC swap on my buddies s10 so I'm sure I will run into those issues as well.

Thank you, and thanks for watching.

I'm in British Columbia. Cool, I'm a big fan of the S/T truck platform. I'm going to helping friends with there s10 v8 swaps as well.

I'm not actually sure. My buddy bought it, I installed it. And it was like 2 years ago. He did some research and bought it from some website for audio equipment I believe. And I think he paid $65ish Canadian dollars for it. We tried the $20 Amazon ones and they were junk. That's about as much information I have about it.

@@TheBackyardTech well thanks 😊

This will absolutely not help with fuel mileage. Its makes it substantially worse, and you have to run high octane fuel with the turbo. By adding more air with a turbo you have to add more fuel, essentially its acting as a larger engine. I guess in theory you could put the potentiometer in on a stock truck to try to lean out the mixture to save fuel, but I dont think it's worth the risk of cooking the engine.

Before I removed the original engine and transmission, I put a mark on the bottom of the cab. That mark, marks the end of the transmission. I put the Silverado transmission at that exact spot. Stock driveshaft fits.

The wiring diagram for the potentiometer is in the video. But the idea is that you put it in the place of the engine coolant sensor. As for a parts list, I put this truck together like 3 years ago, so I dont remember everything little thing. If you go back through the video I mention most of what I used.

Thank you. The size and spline of the slip yolk is the same from the 4L60E to the Borg Warner T5. Cant say 100% on the length. I would imagine they would be the same or very close. But in theory as long as you could get the 4L60E tail shaft to sit in the same spot as where the T5 was, should work just fine.

@@TheBackyardTech thanks for the reply. Trying to get my parts list put together. The less stuff I have to buy the less shit my wife will give me.

Glad I could be of assistance. I'm finishing up the truck and the filming for part 3. So keep you eyes open for how it wraps up.

If that's something I could have found for reasonable money or had laying around, absolutely. But I'm just working with what I got.

This was a few years back so I'm not 100% on it. I can give you a general idea. 200 turbo, 200 intercooler, 500 afr guage, 100 fuel pressure regulator, 150 fuel pump, 60 potentiometer. 250 universal piping kit, 400 exhaust and mufflers, 100 in guages. 60 blow off valve. A few head gasket kits, head bolts and oil, filters and coolant. And bunch of stuff I had laying around, and I'm sure there is a bit I'm not thinking of. Keep in mind this is Canadian money, so our prices are usually higher than US prices. Hope this helps.

I'm not 100% on the cost exactly. My buddies truck so he paid for it. Its probably in the 1500 range, but we also had some bad luck with engines, so we had to buy a few head gasket kits and do a bunch of changes along the way. I think I remember him saying that all said and done it was under 3 grand. But if you built it the way it finished I would say 1500.

Just a few lol. Thanks for watching.
