Chevy LS 706 heads teardown & broken bolts!
I just got a 94 GMC Sierra and I need to get my brakes fixed I'm doing this instead of the stock one hopefully it gets my brakes working
This is like a night and day difference hopefully it works out for you
Is this truck a v8 or v6 ?
It was a v6 4.3L now it’s LS swamped v8 5.3L
Such a huge help been trying to find this exact wiring harness
Thank you for watching this is a very old video I made at the time no one had a solution now u can just buy a harness form Amazon or eBay for about $20 or so
Mabey you can give me some advice I’m pulling the v6 out of my 1997 and I’m putting a lq4 in it I want to get rid of the computer and abs and just run a Holley term x with the Holley digital dash cluster do you know if they have a harness to run the ac to run the factory ac I just want a clean engine bay the truck won’t be a daily driver so I’m deleting as much stuff as I can so the bay is just inner fenders and engine going for the cleanest look as possible thanks
No there harness I know of that can do that sorry just do some more research see if u can figure it out
Nice, clean install. Getting ready to do the same on my 1991 OBS with a 700R4. Don't believe the special fitting that you used for the 4L80e is needed in the 700R4. Realize that you are mocking this up/test fitting, but I would put a grommet in the hole that you drilled for the lines.
Thanks for watching yea I did use rubber edge around that hose cause I know it will cut threw the lines eventually
Drilling ok this must be the wrong tailgate asst.the other one i saw there no Drilling
No it’s the right 1 from this company there are other manufacturers that make them differently you might be thinking of 1 of those
19:26 Is it bad for the crank to lay them down on the floor like that if you're reusing it? I remember being a kid and my Dad telling me to never lay down sbc cranks on the floor, always to stand them up, preferably on a block of wood. Just wondering if that still applies to the LS cranks, too. Watching from New Mexico. Good job on the video bro! Thank you for explaining everything. You got a new sub! I just bought a '93 obs Chevy that I'll be eventually doing the same. Keep up the good content! 💯
Thank you for watching and to tell u the truth I don’t set it down that way because of the reluctor wheel I didn’t want to damage it thank you for the sub
I have a swb step side 98 4x4 I bought new carpet for, this video will help!
Thanks for watching bro i appreciate it 💯
Will this work on my 95 5.7l 1500 obs?
Yes it will 👍🏼
Thanks video Bro 👌
Thank you for watching
Great shows, a tip on that sway bar end link if you're not already raising it, cut the end link bolt.
This is true but I would have been struggling to install the new 1 good tip thanks for watching
Can you leave the bracket for the wiring harness on?
Yea you can thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching
What if mines don’t have the defroster will work the same???
I have the 1 with out defrost on my Instagram or u can now buy 1 new from Amazon or eBay at the time this video was made no one had a solution so I made my own thanks for watching i appreciate it
what vehicle fans from
Chrysler Pacifica
If I do a 3 inch drop springs am I gonna camber ?
After any mods you will have to get an alignment it will camber out a lil bit
I've replaced brake lines brakes calibers n pads n brakes still go to floor
What about the master cylinder???
Would it work for a square body?
I don’t know sorry
What grit sand paper did u use?
320 and 400
How about the model for 1999-2007 they can install on 1989
I think that 1 is different might be bigger and a different mounting hardware I’m not sure
@LowLifeYonkes It's much cheaper, that's why I asked.
@@Noeolivs yea then I would assume that it’s different and I also know they offer a new version slim I think and it makes the tail gate drop faster
I just installed mine and it goes down twice as fast. Wondering if it’s a cheaper cylinder because it doesn’t say LS Fab on the side of it. Hoping I didn’t pay $70 and wait on customs for something I could have had for $30 on prime
Yea I have heard this before but I do know I have the old style 1 that’s larger in size and they now have a slim version which I haven’t had a chance to buy since they are up in price….. thanks for the comment
Awesome video!
Thanks bro 👍🏼
I need a new brake booster and want to do this upgrade. Any upgrade on the booster needed or go to my local gm dealer and get a oem one? Amazon "replacements" do not have good reviews on the boosters.
No I haven’t ran in to replacing the booster as they don’t go bad to often but I know the after market is all bad with local vendors and most of there parts are imported I honestly would just go to the junkyard if I had to replace one and just find a low mileage truck or suburban or Tahoe
Thanks so much for the simple explanation. I will be doing my 95 suburban the same way with the ABS like your's. Think I have rust in my lines.... so will be flushing them too. God Bless
thank you for watching
Love what you guys are doing. Subscribed. Im up in the high desert in cali. Doing the body work on my 89 obs. Do you know of a decent paint guy to shoot the paint by chance? Any help would be much appreciated. Thankyou.
Thank you for supporting and subscribing I appreciate it and to tell u the truth I don’t know any painters the few I know about charge way to much for me to ever get work done by them
Yea thats the predicament I run into. Even doing things yourself nowadays is insanely expensive still. Days of cheap hotrodding or redoing vehicles are over sadly.
@@Wmxjdhdgdhdbkkf yea good parts aren’t cheap anymore I just try to do my best with what I can and save up money for those expenses items I need but that take me more time then most the fam comes first. That’s why this truck never really gets done sadly I’ll do my best with what I have thanks for the comment
I have that same cold air intake coming from eBay does it work pretty good?
It works great the problem was I couldn’t find it anywhere anymore thanks for watching
Beautiful work! Think this process will work on 96 impala ? Thank you
I’m sure it would just the measurements have to be different. I think I’m not sure.
I bought the holley connector for alternator, how would you wire it…
Hola amigo i really like your video i have the same truck like yours i when to Dutchman website to order the two axles but they have too many measures and i wondered what measures you used for you truck???
All the measurements are in the video if u send me a dm I can send you a screenshot of my receipt
@LowLifeYonkes where i send the DM?

@LowLifeYonkes Amigo already send you a DM to your Instagram

Can you find out what lower radiator hose he used and what radiator ?
2000 Chevy Tahoe 5.3L for the hoses
Nice video. I am getting ready to install the same terminator X Max in my 71 Chevelle. I thought the instructions said to NOT connect the trans and ECU switch wire on the same switched power because of fed back power from the trans switch line when the car is turned off...something about not shutting off the injectors. Please correct me if I am wrong just want to hook this thing up right the first time.
Did you hook up the speedometer to be controlled by the vss output? if so, what wire at the fire wall did you use?
No I didn’t I did get all the gages to work except the speedo but as you know OBS clusters suck and I will be going with a Dakota Digital most likely
Hey buddy hows it going. I have a question? I have a '88 obs w" a 5.7 350 and wondering what your thoughts are on getting rid of the charcoal emissions canisty. Will it hurt to delete it? Trying to get rid of anything i can to clean up the engine bay. I deleted my antifreeze over flow and replaced it with a tall boy american flag Bubweiser can.
Well I do know that the gas tank vent goes straight to the canister and helps with the smell of fuel u can delete it if u like just put the vent somewhere in the back so u won’t smell the gas try it out let me know how it goes
What about the transmission fittings
I got them from amazon 6an 4l80e trans fittings they come in 2 packs 1 short 1 long
@@LowLifeYonkes ok thank u will they work for a 4l60 to or just an 80
@outlanderoffroading7502 if you’re running a 4l60 they are 2 short fittings
What pigtails are you using connecting to the fan motor?
The ones that came with the fan shroud from the Chrysler Pacifica
@@LowLifeYonkes thanks bro!!
@@tyronemcclendon8922 👍🏼
I like how you got to details the only problem I'm having is my truck don't have a defrost. If you can help me with that I will gladly appreciate it . Cuz I was even thinking about eliminating block one and trying that
I do have a the wiring diagram on my Instagram for no defrost…. This is an old video I made at the time no one had a solution but now u can go on Amazon or EBay and buy a harness for about $20 or so thanks for watching I appreciate it
@@LowLifeYonkes thanks I just found it and bought it.. Thanks for ur help

Those are castech! They havent cracked on you yet?
Yes that what I said in the video and the have a recall for cracking around the inner bolt holes but not all of these heads where affected and mine haven’t cracked

Cool to see the vinyl that came from the factory, definitely looks like a better grade than what ACC is offering. I recently swapped the beige carpet out of the trunk area of my 98 suburban to grey vinyl. I really like it for the trunk as I don’t have to worry about it getting dirty. But now I’m torn on whether or not I should put carpet or vinyl in the front. Think this video did it for me thanks man nice video 👍
Thanks bro yea I was just sick of the vinyl flooring this upgrade made my truck feel different in a way if that makes sense in a good way
Where did you get the cold air intake?
I originally got it from eBay but u can search amazon as well
Watch the video and find out. Lol
What year is the truck? I have a 1992 4.3 wonder if this would work....
chevy 1500
Yea it will work mine is a 98 c1500 and it was also a 4.3L
@@LowLifeYonkeshow did you do yours?
88-94 tip?
You had a Question?
got a part number for the harness bro.
No I don’t they actually make the complete harness for it now u can get it from Amazon or eBay just search 95 c1500 ac harness
So thus should fit on my 1998 chevy Silverado
Yea it will work
What year is your truck? I’m watching because I’m swapping my 98 to manual and yours already had the shifter hole cut out??
It’s a 98 C1500 W/T it originally had a v6 and manual transmission
@@LowLifeYonkes Ah ok. was there anything wrong with your old vinyl floor? I’d buy it if you still got it
@@MKYRR it had a hole on the driver side and the insulation was soaked with oil not from me but it went to the trash bro sorry
