The very best information I have found! Doing a LSI into 1988 Chevy K1500. You have helped me understand more and I can understand what you are saying. Worked on cars all my life, always avoided wiring except for radio or fog lights. Excellent information HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE VIDEOS! I have already found the LT1 wiring diagrams and printed them, the notebook is a great idea, not only for what to do but what was done. I suggest you write a book, can’t find anything that goes in depth enough to help. Thanks so much for you efforts. GREAT JOB! P Hurst
I appreciate the great feedback and glad you found the information useful. Cheers and have fun with your build. Written with a huge smile on my face!!!! Mike.
@@UCanDoIt2Mike Your videos have been my go to for years. I love how clean your wiring diagrams are. Im doing a second gen camaro and would love to make my own wiring diagram for it. What program did you use to create it?
Sir, I've watched your videos when I was in my early 20s not knowing what the hell you were doing. I'm around the corner from 28yo now, built my truck and taught myself quite a bit. I must say you've dumbed down the whole process to where I can accomplish my high school dream of ls swapping an old school car (i got a rust free 85 Fleetwood now). your efforts are much appreciated in the car community!
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your thoughts and experience. Your message makes all the effort of putting together these videos worth while. Your comment and success is my reward. Enjoy that Fleetwood!!! Mike
Thanks this was the video I needed. You got through the fuse block with a better explanation than Brandon did. Not knocking him, he's done hundreds and just went through it faster than I was comprehending.
Mike ..FYI. I found out my fuel pump from Tanks INC which is an internal tank pump requires a 30 amp fused 12 Gauge wire. I modified your original wiring directions and added another Fused hot and added a 12 gauge wire to the pump just to be sure I am getting enough power to the pump. I was afraid the original 15 amp fuse suggested would not be enough. I spend several days watching your series and appreciate all that you put out there for as all. I realize that not everyone's situation is the same . Thanks for all you do for the UA-cam community!
I have literally watched every video of yours and I have to say two things. 1) Man you're an awesome father for getting your two sons involved. Knowledge is great but add experience with it and you'll have two very smart men! 2) I'm so glad I found someone that is as OCD about things as I am! That engine build was awesome and now these wiring videos are incredible! The detail and patience you show is very nice!
I'm blown away at your compliment! Thank you for sharing. I know some adult friends that cannot change a door knob. And I always wondered how they ended up that way. I realized early that getting them involved inspired their interest and question about other things. That is how we all learn. I Love using it to spend quality time with them. They are more busy than I am. Thank you. Thank you!
I've just finished watching the full series on the ls stand alone wire harness for your project. You have done yourself proud, very thorough and although occasionally I felt like jumping ahead I stayed the course and watched every minute. I felt like I was in high school shop class again, good times from thirty years ago! I like the fact that you clearly labelled everything and your diagrams are well done and easy to follow. 👍 Thanks for taking the time to produce the video series, Cheers Art
Art, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Sharing with nice people like yourself, is very rewarding. We really had a great time with this project so far. Working on the vehicle that this will be installed in and looking forward to the day I can fire it up! Cheers! Mike
Truly great Mike. I'm in Australia and some of the harness is different and I'll need to decipher some of it but looking forward to having a crack at it. When I get it finished I'll share it with you. Thanks again Art
Very cool Art. I assume that yours is a Holden version. I follow another gentleman's channel (Firebird) who explained that their "GM" offerings are Holden. You should check out his recent Firebird Swap. The same approach should work with any harness: Divide and Conquer, Work and understand one section and tackle it. Anyway... I would be very interested in how yours turns out. Please keep me updated. It's very rewarding! Mike
I've watched most of your series because I'm in the process of doing a 93' YJ build the exact same as what you did. LS, AX15, 8.8 rear.....etc. I've been a mechanic/welder/fabricator most of my life but rarely for a living.....mostly side projects....i.e., street rods, farm equipment, motorcycles, etc. Although you admit at times throughout the videos that you're new to something or have no experience, the main (postive) factors are that you have a good general mechanical knowledge/aptitude, aren't afraid to tackle a project, check & recheck references (sources), and have a good meticulous nature/method. I think a good mechanic is someone that although he gains experience over years of doing so, he still keeps a good work ethic, process & attitude.........not getting arrogant or pridefully cocky. I've seen many types of mechanics and many ways of doing things...some good, some not so much. I learned from a lot of older guys with old school ways but I always keep an open mind to new stuff. Nice job on the build.......learned a lot......thanks ;)
Glad you have enjoyed following along. I do like to learn new things. Not just to get them done, but to learn how something works, educate myself, and enjoy the experience. This is a great platform to share that process. Thanks for the feedback and best of luck and enjoy your project. Looks like we are heading down the same track. Cheers! Mike
@@UCanDoIt2Mike Thanks....very welcome. Yep.....more or less identical builds. I have the complete drivetrain, computer, and harness out of my 2000 Chevy 1500 4x4 with 118k on it. The frames on those models rotted pretty quick, which is my issue. It would take far more work & time to resurrect it than it would to do the Jeep project...so. I haven't picked up the Jeep as yet, but it's mine if I want it.....I was just holding off and weighing my options (which manual trans, gearing, axles, etc.) before pulling the trigger on it........your video's helped......thanks for the huge time & effort ;).........Bob
I just watched all 5 parts. Thanks for sharing your skills with us. I especially liked the use of Green and Yellow tape to quickly identify the parts you were keeping and the wires you were eliminating. Also, thanks for providing the PDF files for the wiring ID.
So thankful that google brought me here. Those diagrams and your approach and your explaination is perfect. I feel like im seeing the videos and information that I needed and wanted to share to everyone else, already done. Thank you again so much.
First, I'd like to say that I feel sad that my binge watching of your series has come to an end.... can't wait for more videos from you. Second, I'm looking to start 5.3 swap\build soon, my first engine build and I'm confident that your videos are going to help me succeed. YOU DA REAL MVP!
Just pulled my 4.8 out of my truck and getting a 1980 Camaro tomorrow so I'm trying to gain as much information about 4.8/5.3 block swap as possible and this is making the electrical side of it soooo so much easier. Thank you so much I can't wait to see more.
Love to hear that!!!!! Stories like this make the time spent all worth it! I love helping and glad that you found it useful! Good luck with your project!
you will never understand my gratitude for your thorough instructions. I expect views to grow extremely fast for you as people find this series. thank you so very much. I hope you continue making videos and making them simple to follow.
Thank you so much for your work. You're doing a fantastic job, and I really appreciate your thorough and straightforward instruction. Im 19, and working on swapping an LS into my car. You've been incredibly helpful. Thank you!
I am very impressed that you are tackling this at age 19. Not from the standpoint of it being a difficult job to accomplish, but that you have not let something that "appears" to be difficult and complex, to stop you!!!!! You will be very successful in this and other things that you tackle in life! Thank you very much for sharing your message, it just made my day!!!!!!!
I acquired an ls mid year 2017, my son and I stumbled across a truck at a local pick n pull with surprisingly it had the harness uncut together with computer, mas, gas pedal , and the gas pedal control module. I had him remove it and label it as he pulled each connector. These videos of yours sir gave him an understanding and he could visually picture where and how it went as we watched and learned how to tackle this harness. Thank you for such detailed information, I was able to use this also as a tool in my teachings to my son as we noticed yours was involved too.
Fantastic! You and your son are the exact audience that I thought about when putting these videos together. Someone who, if they could see it outlined, could use the information to confidently do it as well. What a fantastic Father/Son project. No matter if one of you has experience, or if you both are learning this together... many great hours of time together. ENJOY!!!!!!!
I was really intimidated by the wiring aspect of an LS swap but after watching your series of videos I feel more confident about tackling this part by myself. Thanks for posting I really enjoyed watching!
Glad this helped! I think that if you can watch this and it somewhat makes sense that you should be good. I found it to be a very logical process. Would love to know how it worked out for you.
I have been referencing all your videos soo much during the past couple of weeks. Just got my 5.3 with a new cam running for the first time last night. Didn't think that my pickup would have an ls swap this soon (just graduated high school) Just wanted to say thanks and that i could not have done the swap without you.
great info so what is the function of the green wire that is connected on OBD2 pin 2? is this data about how all sensor are working ( temp sensor, speed sensor, pressures sensor, etc)
That Dark Green wire is used when you want to communicate with the PCM. If you use a computer program like HPO Tuners to program or read data from the PCM, it uses this wire. There are also some Wifi Dongles that you can plug into the OBD2 port that would use this wire to display current engine running values on a phone/computer/tablet.
Id had no idea what al the wire war for so i found this videos now my car is runing in only a weak. Thank u for taken your time and lay it out so to understand... and meake me feeling so good that i did it my self ☆☆☆☆☆
Love this comment! You and the others that have express being able to successfully do this, is the reason that I took the time to put this together. And Yes... It always feels good when you accomplish something that you though you couldn't. Best of luck with the rest of your project! Mike
I appreciate the work you are doing. I think it is amazing that your sons help you. I've built many engines, repaired many cars and I will fix anything I put my mind to. All thanks to my Dad starting me young fixing his own cars. Hope your boys can appreciate the knowledge and experience you share with them.
I appreciate the kind words Cody. We do enjoy spending this time together. Not only on my Jeep project, but also their cars. We measure our success by the amount of money we save. Cheers to you !
Thank you for this video. I am just starting swapping a LS into a 1969 G10 surf van. This LS technology is all new to me. Carbs and distributors are no problem. But the wiring is such a huge part of the builds... This series has been so informative!
This is an amazing series! This has gotten rid of my hesitation to tackle a harness myself. Your hard word has helped many many people, I'm certain of it. Thanks!
Thank you Matthew! Glad that it was able to uncover the mystery for you to decide to tackle yours. Best of luck and have fun learning something new!!!!
Excellent video series. I have a similar project I am slowly getting geared up for and watching this has given me so much confidence, and answered questions I didn't even know I had... like the fuse block and relay setup. I am in your debt.
I appreciate you taking the time to share your comment. It is the true reward for me. Have a blast with your project and provide some updates along the way.
Awesome! Make sure to pickup a good rebuild manual so that you have all the details. I just kind of skimmed the highlights. Much more can be learned!!!!! Cheers!
I have an ls swap planned for the near future. Your video series helped take some of the mystery out of the wiring. Thank you. I will be rewatching this series before I tackle my swap. You are very clear and great camera angles. I hope I can contact you if I have issues.
Glad you enjoyed the series. I can answer the questions that are in line with my build and research. Have fun with yours.... It's a great learning experience. Cheers!
Just watched part 1 through 14, you are the man, thanks for the details I just got my ls I was going to pay someone, but with your videos and information provided I believe I can handle it.
You just made my day!!!!!!!! Thanks for the feedback. I always thought that if people could just see some straight forward steps on how some of these things are put together and accomplished, some might decide that it is something that they can tackle. Surround yourself with books, knowledgeable people, and other resources and then go for it. Have fun and enjoy it!!!!!
Hi, so i have been following along and watching you're rebuild 2 times now just so i can make sure i do my build correctly. First let me say that i absolutely love how much detail you go into. I have honestly learned more from youre videos then i did in high school. I have a 5.3l lm7 that i got from a junkyard and ill be doing a full rebuild. Thank you so much for your detailed videos. They have helped so much!!!!
Very very Cool Jacob! I would highly recommend a Rebuild guide like I used. It has steps outlined and other great information to help you along. It also lists all of the Torque specs and such. There are many good one out there, the one I used is listed in the Show More section of each of the Engine Build videos. Best of luck and have fun with yours. Mike
Thank you. The big issue that im running into is Cams. Ive been doing some research and im comming up with lots of different cams that i can use. I want a bigger cam but i dont know how big i can go for a forced induction setup before i need to get different heads. Im planning on running flat top forged pistons but i dont want to have the intake and exhaust valves hitting the pistons. Any advise on this would be greatly appreciated.
Well the bigger Cam and Forced Induction is a little out of my research boundaries. We are hoping to be able to reproduce the sound that Rowdy has now with the 304, but obviously, it will be slightly different. My Cam is a medium, Streetable Cam that will match m usage.
Hey buddy,just found your channel yesterday and have really enjoyed this series. I'm planning a 92gmc project and this series has been on point,great job. Be blessed and looking forward to the rest.
Thanks for taking the time to reach out. Hope you have as much fun with your GMC project as we are with ours. Cheers... and thanks for watching!!! Mike
this is a nice configuration, as ur pink wire is feeding 3 fuses from the main relay, my question is can i add another 3 fuses ( evap system 10 amp, trans selenoid 20 amp F2 and Ignition 1 voltage 25 amp F9) to get power feed from IGN key with the same pink wire? and 16 awg is enough to to feed those fuses?
I can tell by the way you setup and asked your question that you do have a great understanding of how this works. I believe, your only limiting factor is the gauge wire (the Red from the battery and the Pink from the Main Relay to the new set of three fuses) is required to run continuous load of ALL item connected. I believe with what you listed, you should be OK.
@@UCanDoIt2Mike do you think 10 gauge red wire from batt and 12 gauge pink wire from main relay to all 6 fuse or is better to run another 16 gauge Pink wire for the extra 3 fuses?
Absolutely amazing I can't thank you enough for all your videos. They are truly one of a kind. You just don't find videos this in depth. Keep up the good work! I pick up my 5.3 this weekend to start my swap in my YJ. I can honestly say I am 100% confident now. So once again thank you and keep the videos coming! I can't wait to see your jeep at the end this project!
Same engine and transmission I plan on swapping myself into my 98 Jeep XJ! I’m going to tackle the build on my own and I plan on following these videos as a reference point! Thanks and you earned a subscriber 👍🏻
Excellent job Mike. I can tell you have a lot of experience working with wires, it shows in how you have your harness placed and your schematics. Very well thought out. I like the fact that you have all the power wires together and all the communications wires together. I also like the added connectors to simplify the engine wiring and interior wiring. I have a lot of cable splicing experience and its all in the setup and plans of any splice. It doesn't take long to have a tangled mess after wiring if you don't have a plan. I plan to use some of the techniques you showed on OverKill. I will be adding some relays for my cooling fans and possibly headlights, (Still thinking of going led on those). Great Job.
I appreciate the compliment Russ! I enjoy the wiring part because it is like controlled chaos! When you first look at a schematic, it is always overwhelming. After studying them, they just bleed cool information. A buddy was building a custom Honda 500 motorcycle and I drew up an entire wiring harness for him. That was cool! Cheers!
i used a junkyard 5.3 fuse block and harness on my recent budget firebird LS swap project. it was cheap and easy just like me lol. looks like a fun project jeep anyway good work thumbs up.
Just starting my 6.0 Escalade motor into 66 Caddy swap, Nicely done videos, I appreciate the organization- makes it a bit easier to adapt to my specific swap, yet I can get running with just the 4 wire setup.
Glad you enjoyed the series. It is pretty adaptable. If you understand the concepts and approach, it should be easy to adapt to your requirements. Have fun with your build... sounds awesome! Mike
Thank you for the videos. That one was the "game over" video for me! LOL. Making that little fuse block is the one I was wanting to make sure I got right and this video sealed the deal.
Your video is one of the best for the LS wiring. I have just started my harness and your information is great. Clear and straight forward !! Thank you.
Great video! I'm an old school guy and I'm not up to speed with all these Computer controlled engines. I'm doing an LS swap with my son on his 86 c10 Chevy truck. I just wanted you to know that your videos have been very helpful.
Awesome Jamey! Thank for taking the time to leave your feedback and best of luck and have fun with your project! There is a lot of the old stuff that still applies and it is really cool to learn the new stuff as well. Cheers.
Very detailed video series, you sir did a great job. I have one negative thing to say. The one pink wire from fuse #2 to the relay on the right, should have been a bigger guage, like 12ga. Keep up the great content.
I was hoping by showing enough details, others that were interested would be able to decide if it was something they could tackle. Thank you again for the feedback and have fun with yours when you decide to pull the trigger. It's a really fun and educational project.
Your videos by far are the best instructional ones I've seen. Just wish you were working on a 07 ls engine. I have 07 L92 6l80 that's going in a 1994 chevy cheyenne. The wife is not happy that it's still sitting in front of where she parks.
Thank you!!! and Literally LOL... I spent 50% of my initial effort on "Wife Buy In". You would be amazed at the similarities of the two engines and if that is the mating transmission, there is very little "Wire delete" that would need to be done. Just the 4-wire portion. Sounds like fun! The truck will have some Getty-Up!!!!!
+UCanDoIt2 Yes Mike that is the mating transmission, complete engine and trans pullout. Complete harness as well. Just haven't found a thorough guide on a GEN IV like you've done to bother with it.
You could use the Donor Fuse Box. But to me, that is a big black hole. Wires go into to that and I can tell what is connected to what. There is a video on channel: Agearhead4life where he simply found the Pins on the original box that required the different power sources. You might need a good local gearhead that you can pick their brains over a couple of coffees!!!! Here is a link to the video: ua-cam.com/video/1lpuIiPB2sk/v-deo.html
As a first time LS swapper these videos have been GOLD! Thank You! Question for you or the community... I am doing a 2002 LM7 with 4L60E swap into a 1956 Chevy 3100 and am having trouble tracking down info on how to wire a speedometer. Any help is appreciated by this newbie.
Wow! Great job! Informative and easy to understand series, which was also highly entertaining. Given me confidence to tackle the one job I was daunted by in my own ls swap.
Awesome.... I've hypnotized another!!!! Just kidding. After you break it down and understand the plan, it turns into a bunch of small projects! Cheers and have fun with it! Time to roll up your sleeves.
Well done with my swap And would like to thank Mike for the informative videos ,,If it wasn't for Mike I think wouldn't done it ,I Thousand Thanks Mike
Great Great info! Probably watched all in this series 50 times. I actually played this when I set up my harness. I did have a question that I could not find the answer. What size fuses did you place in the main hot and the remainder of the circuits? Thanks
Thanks so much for putting all the work in to make these videos. You explained everything very well and made me feel confident enough to tackle this myself. Keep up the good work!
Patrick, Thank you for the response!!!! It is great comments like yours that make it all worth the effort!!!! We really had a great time with the build! Best of luck with your project!!!!
Wanted to mention the way the lingo at least used to be for ignition vs accessory. It used to be that accessory was things that on older cars would work if the key was turned back, like the radio would work but things like turn signals and wipers wouldn’t. Ignition2 was the other things like windshield wipers but how they differed from regular ignition was that when you turned the key further into the crank position they would not work whereas the actual ignition obviously needed to still function. So on an automatic trans car if you would put the car in something other than park or neutral then put the ignition switch in the crank position you will notice that things like the radio and heater fan won’t work therefore leaving more voltage available for cranking and spark. This may come handy when you connect the actual switch because ignition and ignition2 can appear similar unless you check them during crank. Hope that makes sense and maybe helps in some way, enjoying your videos greatly. Cheers.
Actually it does make sense. You stated it very well. That should be helpful when I reach that point. Starting on the body work now and looking forward to someday getting the engine installed. Thanks again!
Man these videos are great, ive watched the first 5 so far. Im getting ready to build my own harness & these have been great help. The one thing i couldnt find though was the links to the pdf’s bc they would be a huge help. Thanks for the great vids.
First of all... Thank you for watching. Glad you are finding them useful. If you are on a Computer, under the video is the description section and an item the says "Show More" there are many links there. If you are on a Mobile device style browser, below the video and to the right of the Title is a dropdown arrow that will display the links. Let me know if this does not help.
Haha!!! I am pretty good at figuring things out. I love to learn new things. Once I have it figured out in my mind, I find it easy to explain it. I try very hard NOT to come across as an expert. So much of this stuff I am doing for the first time... But I do fully understand it. Can't wait to tell my wife that I have been labeled as a Genious!!! Got to go find her.... bye!
Good job. It would be much easier for you with the proper crimp tools and give very secure connections. When I rewired my chevelle I upgraded to a newer fuse box and rewired the bulkhead. The crimping tool made life so easy.
Harness looks great. That looks like a really nice connector especially for the price. We will need something like that for our frame swap. Thanks for sharing.
Very good and informative vid. On the k30 crawler truck in my vids I am just going to use an old school sbc for now but in the future I plan on doing an ls swap. Will be watching your series throughout. And like you I love wiring schematics. Love seeing how everything talks to each other and how the controls work and everything. Keep up the very good work.
Hey i just want to start off of by saying you made diving into my ls swap that much easier!! Your videos are exactly what a beginner into the ls world needs to get going! Thank you for taking all the time you did to make this videos! I did run into an issue i wanted to see if you could clear up, after cleaning up my harness i ended up with a pink wire that i earlier labeled "ignition voltage" and another pink wire coming from a pink connector. I have no clue where this pink connector goes to and i have connected all of the other plugs including build and connect my 4 wire fuse block with the 2 relays. Any information or pointers helps. Thanks again!!
So I think I can only answer you with a couple of logical thoughts since I cannot see what is going on. All Pink wires are switched voltage. One example of where you would have 2 extra pink wires than I did is if you kept both rear O2 sensors. You would have had to add that to your Pink switched wiring setup. If you can determine (following the wires or thru continuity testing where the wires go, you might be able to determine what you need to do with them. If they enter the harness and run back into the harness, they must go to a connector that you left in the harness and it would be safe to say they will need switched power..... add them to one of the existing fuses. These are just a few thoughts off the top of my head. Hope it provides some good guidance. Cheers!!!!!
I have followed along with your videos and wiring diagrams for my own swap. Excellent resources. The piece I have not been able to find is what size (amperage) fuses are you using in the 4 block module?
I subbed your channel I am putting a 6l in 50 buick I am at the wiring process today I watched the first 5 videos all the way threw now I will b going back to actually start the work
Absolutely outstanding videos man. Thank you for taking your time to show us what you did. I believe I may attempt to do my own harness on my future ls3 swap into my impala project. Thanks again
Just finished up one of 2 harnesses today. Going im a twin engine offshore boat. Im familiar with the old ford 5.0 efi harnesses. Your vids gave me the motivation I needed and its pretty straight forward
That is not how I did it. Here is a wiring diagram (LS Fuse Block and Relay Diagram: bit.ly/LS_Harness_Diagrams). On page two it illustrates my configuration which follows what I did in the video.
Oscar Perez Thank you Oscar! The intention was to show enough so that others might realize this is something that could be done. Some will get it others will not. Thanks and have fun with your projects.!!!!!!
Man this video really gives me the confidence to dig in and start doing my research to start pulling my harness out ...all love 2 the rowdy build ..really influence me to get my wire harness together for the lsx in my iroc z camaro
Before the gooey shrink tube, I used silicone but it is harder to shrink. Anyway, I love your approach. My favorite saying is "How do you eat an elephant, one bite at a time."
Another questions: The orientation of your relays looking from the bottom of your fuse block; left 30 , top 86 , right 87, bottom 85 ... correct? Just want to clarify because my fuse block is orientated left 85, top 30, right 86, bottom 87. Based on my initial diagram the wiring was following your diagram but I was looking at my fuse block. So basically it's just rotating your relay clock wise so the 30 position is at the top.
You are correct in what you stated for my setup ( left 30 , top 86 , right 87, bottom 85). Remember this is looking at the back of the socket, similar to looking at the back of the Relay. That sounds correct about you viewing my relay as if it was rotated clockwise 90 degrees. Remember that the trigger pin on a relay are 85 & 86. The main power will run through 87 & 30.
Yes! Very! Yours is very clean and laid out logically/minimalistic. I'm about half done routing my harness. I'm doing mine while the harness is laid out in the engine pay so I can hide everything. I'm going to land all my power and functions like you did in your print so I can use your print as my own for installation and t/shooting later down the road. Thanks again
And also....you ran both bank of injectors together on the same fuse. What amp is the fuse. I don't know if one 15amp will do both sides. Gm originally uses one 15amp fuse for each set of injectors
Thanks sooo much i am doing an gen 4 6.2 swap into a 87 gmc R15 keeping the 6l80 if possible. And even on lt1swap . Com their is nothing about fuse block . Their is a lot for gen 3 . Your video has give me the help i needed even of its for a gen 3 im shure it will work

The very best information I have found! Doing a LSI into 1988 Chevy K1500. You have helped me understand more and I can understand what you are saying. Worked on cars all my life, always avoided wiring except for radio or fog lights. Excellent information HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE VIDEOS! I have already found the LT1 wiring diagrams and printed them, the notebook is a great idea, not only for what to do but what was done. I suggest you write a book, can’t find anything that goes in depth enough to help. Thanks so much for you efforts. GREAT JOB! P Hurst
I appreciate the great feedback and glad you found the information useful. Cheers and have fun with your build. Written with a huge smile on my face!!!! Mike.
Video is 5 years old and still helping people just getting into an LS swap. Thank you for this.
Love the feedback. Hope if you enjoy yours, if you are building one! Thank you Sir.... Mike
@@UCanDoIt2Mike Your videos have been my go to for years. I love how clean your wiring diagrams are. Im doing a second gen camaro and would love to make my own wiring diagram for it. What program did you use to create it?
Sir, I've watched your videos when I was in my early 20s not knowing what the hell you were doing. I'm around the corner from 28yo now, built my truck and taught myself quite a bit. I must say you've dumbed down the whole process to where I can accomplish my high school dream of ls swapping an old school car (i got a rust free 85 Fleetwood now). your efforts are much appreciated in the car community!
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your thoughts and experience. Your message makes all the effort of putting together these videos worth while. Your comment and success is my reward. Enjoy that Fleetwood!!! Mike
@@UCanDoIt2Mike if I can suggest some content. I would like to see you produce a tutorial on how you would wire the A/C, as well as the gauges.
Thanks this was the video I needed. You got through the fuse block with a better explanation than Brandon did. Not knocking him, he's done hundreds and just went through it faster than I was comprehending.
Glad you found it useful. Cheers and have fun with your swap.
Mike ..FYI. I found out my fuel pump from Tanks INC which is an internal tank pump requires a 30 amp fused 12 Gauge wire. I modified your original wiring directions and added another Fused hot and added a 12 gauge wire to the pump just to be sure I am getting enough power to the pump. I was afraid the original 15 amp fuse suggested would not be enough. I spend several days watching your series and appreciate all that you put out there for as all. I realize that not everyone's situation is the same .
Thanks for all you do for the UA-cam community!
That sounds like the perfect mod for your situation. Thanks for sharing. Mike.
I have literally watched every video of yours and I have to say two things. 1) Man you're an awesome father for getting your two sons involved. Knowledge is great but add experience with it and you'll have two very smart men! 2) I'm so glad I found someone that is as OCD about things as I am! That engine build was awesome and now these wiring videos are incredible! The detail and patience you show is very nice!
I'm blown away at your compliment! Thank you for sharing. I know some adult friends that cannot change a door knob. And I always wondered how they ended up that way. I realized early that getting them involved inspired their interest and question about other things. That is how we all learn. I Love using it to spend quality time with them. They are more busy than I am. Thank you. Thank you!
UCanDoIt2 do you have a way I can contact you? I have a few questions for you?

I've just finished watching the full series on the ls stand alone wire harness for your project. You have done yourself proud, very thorough and although occasionally I felt like jumping ahead I stayed the course and watched every minute. I felt like I was in high school shop class again, good times from thirty years ago! I like the fact that you clearly labelled everything and your diagrams are well done and easy to follow. 👍
Thanks for taking the time to produce the video series,
Cheers Art
Art, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Sharing with nice people like yourself, is very rewarding. We really had a great time with this project so far. Working on the vehicle that this will be installed in and looking forward to the day I can fire it up! Cheers! Mike
Truly great Mike. I'm in Australia and some of the harness is different and I'll need to decipher some of it but looking forward to having a crack at it. When I get it finished I'll share it with you.
Thanks again Art
Very cool Art. I assume that yours is a Holden version. I follow another gentleman's channel (Firebird) who explained that their "GM" offerings are Holden. You should check out his recent Firebird Swap. The same approach should work with any harness: Divide and Conquer, Work and understand one section and tackle it. Anyway... I would be very interested in how yours turns out. Please keep me updated. It's very rewarding! Mike
Hi Mike
Is there a way to send you a private message with my email. I seem to be unable to download and print your wire diagram.
Cheers Art
You can send me a private email at ucandoit2mike@gmail.com
I've watched most of your series because I'm in the process of doing a 93' YJ build the exact same as what you did. LS, AX15, 8.8 rear.....etc. I've been a mechanic/welder/fabricator most of my life but rarely for a living.....mostly side projects....i.e., street rods, farm equipment, motorcycles, etc. Although you admit at times throughout the videos that you're new to something or have no experience, the main (postive) factors are that you have a good general mechanical knowledge/aptitude, aren't afraid to tackle a project, check & recheck references (sources), and have a good meticulous nature/method. I think a good mechanic is someone that although he gains experience over years of doing so, he still keeps a good work ethic, process & attitude.........not getting arrogant or pridefully cocky. I've seen many types of mechanics and many ways of doing things...some good, some not so much. I learned from a lot of older guys with old school ways but I always keep an open mind to new stuff. Nice job on the build.......learned a lot......thanks ;)
Glad you have enjoyed following along. I do like to learn new things. Not just to get them done, but to learn how something works, educate myself, and enjoy the experience. This is a great platform to share that process. Thanks for the feedback and best of luck and enjoy your project. Looks like we are heading down the same track. Cheers! Mike
@@UCanDoIt2Mike Thanks....very welcome. Yep.....more or less identical builds. I have the complete drivetrain, computer, and harness out of my 2000 Chevy 1500 4x4 with 118k on it. The frames on those models rotted pretty quick, which is my issue. It would take far more work & time to resurrect it than it would to do the Jeep project...so. I haven't picked up the Jeep as yet, but it's mine if I want it.....I was just holding off and weighing my options (which manual trans, gearing, axles, etc.) before pulling the trigger on it........your video's helped......thanks for the huge time & effort ;).........Bob
I just watched all 5 parts. Thanks for sharing your skills with us. I especially liked the use of Green and Yellow tape to quickly identify the parts you were keeping and the wires you were eliminating. Also, thanks for providing the PDF files for the wiring ID.
You are more than welcome. Glad you enjoyed the series and hope it helps you with yours. Cheers and thanks for the feedback. Mike.
So thankful that google brought me here. Those diagrams and your approach and your explaination is perfect. I feel like im seeing the videos and information that I needed and wanted to share to everyone else, already done. Thank you again so much.
Glad you enjoyed the series. I did try to include every step that I used so that it would be easy to follow. Have fun with your project. Mike
First, I'd like to say that I feel sad that my binge watching of your series has come to an end.... can't wait for more videos from you. Second, I'm looking to start 5.3 swap\build soon, my first engine build and I'm confident that your videos are going to help me succeed. YOU DA REAL MVP!
Thank you Sir. It's hard to type with such a big smile on my face. Hoping to get a little more into the Jeep work. Cheers to you...
Sia Chang You are going to wish you did a LQ4 swap so I would reccomend doing that instead.
Just pulled my 4.8 out of my truck and getting a 1980 Camaro tomorrow so I'm trying to gain as much information about 4.8/5.3 block swap as possible and this is making the electrical side of it soooo so much easier. Thank you so much I can't wait to see more.
Love to hear that!!!!! Stories like this make the time spent all worth it! I love helping and glad that you found it useful! Good luck with your project!
you will never understand my gratitude for your thorough instructions. I expect views to grow extremely fast for you as people find this series. thank you so very much. I hope you continue making videos and making them simple to follow.
Thanks Dustin! Sounds like they will be helpful to you! Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks!
You’re welcome!
Thank you so much for your work. You're doing a fantastic job, and I really appreciate your thorough and straightforward instruction. Im 19, and working on swapping an LS into my car. You've been incredibly helpful. Thank you!
I am very impressed that you are tackling this at age 19. Not from the standpoint of it being a difficult job to accomplish, but that you have not let something that "appears" to be difficult and complex, to stop you!!!!! You will be very successful in this and other things that you tackle in life! Thank you very much for sharing your message, it just made my day!!!!!!!
After hearing the shop say 3 weeks to get my harness rewired I found your series. This is great stuff I can do this is 2 days tops. Thanks much!
I agree! And when you are finished, it will be pretty cool to know that you did it yourself and think of money you can save!!!!!
I acquired an ls mid year 2017, my son and I stumbled across a truck at a local pick n pull with surprisingly it had the harness uncut together with computer, mas, gas pedal , and the gas pedal control module. I had him remove it and label it as he pulled each connector. These videos of yours sir gave him an understanding and he could visually picture where and how it went as we watched and learned how to tackle this harness. Thank you for such detailed information, I was able to use this also as a tool in my teachings to my son as we noticed yours was involved too.
Fantastic! You and your son are the exact audience that I thought about when putting these videos together. Someone who, if they could see it outlined, could use the information to confidently do it as well. What a fantastic Father/Son project. No matter if one of you has experience, or if you both are learning this together... many great hours of time together. ENJOY!!!!!!!
I was really intimidated by the wiring aspect of an LS swap but after watching your series of videos I feel more confident about tackling this part by myself. Thanks for posting I really enjoyed watching!
Glad this helped! I think that if you can watch this and it somewhat makes sense that you should be good. I found it to be a very logical process. Would love to know how it worked out for you.
I have been referencing all your videos soo much during the past couple of weeks. Just got my 5.3 with a new cam running for the first time last night. Didn't think that my pickup would have an ls swap this soon (just graduated high school) Just wanted to say thanks and that i could not have done the swap without you.
Awesome! That just put a smile on my face!!!! Have fun with your new ride!!!!!
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video. Greatly appreciated.
Always great to hear that it is useful to someone. Thanks for the feedback. Have fun with your project. Mike
@@UCanDoIt2Mike building my 4th Lamborghini Replica on my channel @lambobuilder. Will definitely credit you for wiring assistance when I post
great info so what is the function of the green wire that is connected on OBD2 pin 2? is this data about how all sensor are working ( temp sensor, speed sensor, pressures sensor, etc)
That Dark Green wire is used when you want to communicate with the PCM. If you use a computer program like HPO Tuners to program or read data from the PCM, it uses this wire. There are also some Wifi Dongles that you can plug into the OBD2 port that would use this wire to display current engine running values on a phone/computer/tablet.
Id had no idea what al the wire war for so i found this videos now my car is runing in only a weak. Thank u for taken your time and lay it out so to understand... and meake me feeling so good that i did it my self ☆☆☆☆☆
Love this comment! You and the others that have express being able to successfully do this, is the reason that I took the time to put this together. And Yes... It always feels good when you accomplish something that you though you couldn't. Best of luck with the rest of your project! Mike
I wouldn’t have been able to do this harness conversion without your videos. Thank you so much.
That is great news! Glad the videos were helpful and that you decided to tackle this! Cheers... Mike!!!!
I appreciate the work you are doing. I think it is amazing that your sons help you. I've built many engines, repaired many cars and I will fix anything I put my mind to. All thanks to my Dad starting me young fixing his own cars. Hope your boys can appreciate the knowledge and experience you share with them.
I appreciate the kind words Cody. We do enjoy spending this time together. Not only on my Jeep project, but also their cars. We measure our success by the amount of money we save. Cheers to you !
an EXCELLENT tutorial on doing the 'LSx stand alone' .... clear and concise ... WELL DONE !!
Thank you Steve! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this video. I am just starting swapping a LS into a 1969 G10 surf van. This LS technology is all new to me. Carbs and distributors are no problem. But the wiring is such a huge part of the builds... This series has been so informative!
Glad you enjoyed the series. Happy to share.... have fun with your project, sounds awesome! Mike
Hands down the most incredible wiring tutorial out here. So helpful man thank you
Love your comment!!! Thank you for the great feedback. If you are about to do this, I hope you have fun with it. Cheers. Mike.
By far one of the most helpful videos/ series I’ve seen in a while. Thanks for the help
Glad you found it helpful Ben! Cheers and have fun with your project...
This is an amazing series! This has gotten rid of my hesitation to tackle a harness myself. Your hard word has helped many many people, I'm certain of it. Thanks!
Thank you Matthew! Glad that it was able to uncover the mystery for you to decide to tackle yours. Best of luck and have fun learning something new!!!!
Excellent video series. I have a similar project I am slowly getting geared up for and watching this has given me so much confidence, and answered questions I didn't even know I had... like the fuse block and relay setup. I am in your debt.
I appreciate you taking the time to share your comment. It is the true reward for me. Have a blast with your project and provide some updates along the way.
I've recently bought a 4.8 ls from craigslist, you are one of the people I will be learning from. Thank you Teach. haha
Awesome! Make sure to pickup a good rebuild manual so that you have all the details. I just kind of skimmed the highlights. Much more can be learned!!!!! Cheers!
The rebuild manual comment was geared toward the engine build portion of your new endeavor.
UCanDoIt2 Thank you, I'll be sure to do that!
These videos are awesome. I love the detail you add while fast forwarding the boring parts.
Greatly appreciated!!! I enjoy the editing and try to keep it interesting. Cheers to you!!!!
This was incredibly helpful to me, and I am sure many others. Thanks for taking the time to put it on video.
Thank you! I had fun studying it and coming up with the plan. Have a great time with yours!!! Mike.
I have an ls swap planned for the near future. Your video series helped take some of the mystery out of the wiring. Thank you. I will be rewatching this series before I tackle my swap. You are very clear and great camera angles. I hope I can contact you if I have issues.
Glad you enjoyed the series. I can answer the questions that are in line with my build and research. Have fun with yours.... It's a great learning experience. Cheers!
Just watched part 1 through 14, you are the man, thanks for the details I just got my ls I was going to pay someone, but with your videos and information provided I believe I can handle it.
You just made my day!!!!!!!! Thanks for the feedback. I always thought that if people could just see some straight forward steps on how some of these things are put together and accomplished, some might decide that it is something that they can tackle. Surround yourself with books, knowledgeable people, and other resources and then go for it. Have fun and enjoy it!!!!!
Will do thanks again
Hi, so i have been following along and watching you're rebuild 2 times now just so i can make sure i do my build correctly. First let me say that i absolutely love how much detail you go into. I have honestly learned more from youre videos then i did in high school. I have a 5.3l lm7 that i got from a junkyard and ill be doing a full rebuild. Thank you so much for your detailed videos. They have helped so much!!!!
Very very Cool Jacob! I would highly recommend a Rebuild guide like I used. It has steps outlined and other great information to help you along. It also lists all of the Torque specs and such. There are many good one out there, the one I used is listed in the Show More section of each of the Engine Build videos. Best of luck and have fun with yours. Mike
Thank you. The big issue that im running into is Cams. Ive been doing some research and im comming up with lots of different cams that i can use. I want a bigger cam but i dont know how big i can go for a forced induction setup before i need to get different heads. Im planning on running flat top forged pistons but i dont want to have the intake and exhaust valves hitting the pistons. Any advise on this would be greatly appreciated.
The engine sound at the beginning of your Projest Rowdy videos is what i want my truck to sound like.
Well the bigger Cam and Forced Induction is a little out of my research boundaries. We are hoping to be able to reproduce the sound that Rowdy has now with the 304, but obviously, it will be slightly different. My Cam is a medium, Streetable Cam that will match m usage.
I think i mught have found one that will work. Thank you for all your help. Ill be continuing to follow you.
Hey buddy,just found your channel yesterday and have really enjoyed this series. I'm planning a 92gmc project and this series has been on point,great job. Be blessed and looking forward to the rest.
Thanks for taking the time to reach out. Hope you have as much fun with your GMC project as we are with ours. Cheers... and thanks for watching!!! Mike
this is a nice configuration, as ur pink wire is feeding 3 fuses from the main relay, my question is can i add another 3 fuses ( evap system 10 amp, trans selenoid 20 amp F2 and Ignition 1 voltage 25 amp F9) to get power feed from IGN key with the same pink wire? and 16 awg is enough to to feed those fuses?
I can tell by the way you setup and asked your question that you do have a great understanding of how this works. I believe, your only limiting factor is the gauge wire (the Red from the battery and the Pink from the Main Relay to the new set of three fuses) is required to run continuous load of ALL item connected. I believe with what you listed, you should be OK.
@@UCanDoIt2Mike do you think 10 gauge red wire from batt and 12 gauge pink wire from main relay to all 6 fuse or is better to run another 16 gauge Pink wire for the extra 3 fuses?
Absolutely amazing I can't thank you enough for all your videos. They are truly one of a kind. You just don't find videos this in depth. Keep up the good work! I pick up my 5.3 this weekend to start my swap in my YJ. I can honestly say I am 100% confident now. So once again thank you and keep the videos coming! I can't wait to see your jeep at the end this project!
Your build sounds awesome Cole! Have fun with it. I appreciate the kind words. Cheers!!!
Thankyou sir! been looking for clear and detailed information on the wiring for an LS swap
I am glad you found it useful. Tried not to skip any steps of important information. Best of luck and have fun with yours! Mike
Same engine and transmission I plan on swapping myself into my 98 Jeep XJ! I’m going to tackle the build on my own and I plan on following these videos as a reference point! Thanks and you earned a subscriber 👍🏻
Omar Vargas Awesome Omar! Have fun with your project!!!
Excellent job Mike. I can tell you have a lot of experience working with wires, it shows in how you have your harness placed and your schematics. Very well thought out. I like the fact that you have all the power wires together and all the communications wires together. I also like the added connectors to simplify the engine wiring and interior wiring. I have a lot of cable splicing experience and its all in the setup and plans of any splice. It doesn't take long to have a tangled mess after wiring if you don't have a plan. I plan to use some of the techniques you showed on OverKill. I will be adding some relays for my cooling fans and possibly headlights, (Still thinking of going led on those). Great Job.
I appreciate the compliment Russ! I enjoy the wiring part because it is like controlled chaos! When you first look at a schematic, it is always overwhelming. After studying them, they just bleed cool information. A buddy was building a custom Honda 500 motorcycle and I drew up an entire wiring harness for him. That was cool! Cheers!
i used a junkyard 5.3 fuse block and harness on my recent budget firebird LS swap project. it was cheap and easy just like me lol. looks like a fun project jeep anyway good work thumbs up.
Just starting my 6.0 Escalade motor into 66 Caddy swap, Nicely done videos, I appreciate the organization- makes it a bit easier to adapt to my specific swap, yet I can get running with just the 4 wire setup.
Glad you enjoyed the series. It is pretty adaptable. If you understand the concepts and approach, it should be easy to adapt to your requirements. Have fun with your build... sounds awesome! Mike
Any1 who thumbs down this man .must be so ungrateful.Nice work & thank you very much.💪🙏fantastic DIY HARNESS.
Many thanks William!!!!!! Cheers... Mike!
Your drawing schematics of the wires is clear and easy to understand thanks a million for sharing 👍🏼👍🏼
Yes Sir! Thank you for the feedback. Love that it will be useful for others! Good luck with your project!!!!
Thank you for the videos. That one was the "game over" video for me! LOL. Making that little fuse block is the one I was wanting to make sure I got right and this video sealed the deal.
Sweet!!!! Glad it helped... Good luck with the completion of your project! Are we having fun yet??? Cheers!
Your video is one of the best for the LS wiring. I have just started my harness and your information is great. Clear and straight forward !! Thank you.
Excellent... Thank you for the feedback and I appreciate the complement!!! Mike
Great video! I'm an old school guy and I'm not up to speed with all these Computer controlled engines. I'm doing an LS swap with my son on his 86 c10 Chevy truck. I just wanted you to know that your videos have been very helpful.
Awesome Jamey! Thank for taking the time to leave your feedback and best of luck and have fun with your project! There is a lot of the old stuff that still applies and it is really cool to learn the new stuff as well. Cheers.
Excellent video, excellent info. Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope it helps you on your project. Mike.
I really appreciated these series of videos for the harness. i was able to tackle my own for my swap.
Always a great feeling to hear of other's successes!! Thanks for the feedback. Have fun with your project... Mike
Very detailed video series, you sir did a great job. I have one negative thing to say. The one pink wire from fuse #2 to the relay on the right, should have been a bigger guage, like 12ga. Keep up the great content.
Thank you for the feedback!
this is a great video so i would like to know if your configuration do not need an ignition control module?
@@javierargumedo3 it does not need an ICM. The new engine’s PCM controls the ignition.
awesome how you include your son.bonding you 2 will never forget.
Definitely enjoyed this series. Great work and can't thank you enough for confirming my confidence in doing an LS install.
I was hoping by showing enough details, others that were interested would be able to decide if it was something they could tackle. Thank you again for the feedback and have fun with yours when you decide to pull the trigger. It's a really fun and educational project.
I’m starting my research to do my first LS swap, and I liked your series. Very nice work!!
Thank you Russel. Cheers and have fun with your project! Mike
Your videos by far are the best instructional ones I've seen. Just wish you were working on a 07 ls engine. I have 07 L92 6l80 that's going in a 1994 chevy cheyenne. The wife is not happy that it's still sitting in front of where she parks.
Thank you!!! and Literally LOL... I spent 50% of my initial effort on "Wife Buy In". You would be amazed at the similarities of the two engines and if that is the mating transmission, there is very little "Wire delete" that would need to be done. Just the 4-wire portion. Sounds like fun! The truck will have some Getty-Up!!!!!
+UCanDoIt2 Yes Mike that is the mating transmission, complete engine and trans pullout. Complete harness as well. Just haven't found a thorough guide on a GEN IV like you've done to bother with it.
LT1Swap.com should have your Pinout Chart and other connector diagrams. [Wire Harness Info] > [Vortec 4.8/5.3/6.0/6.2 Hareness Information]
+UCanDoIt2 would it be easier to use engine fuse box from donor vehicle? I've looked lt1 swap and still can't wrap my head around it.
You could use the Donor Fuse Box. But to me, that is a big black hole. Wires go into to that and I can tell what is connected to what. There is a video on channel: Agearhead4life where he simply found the Pins on the original box that required the different power sources. You might need a good local gearhead that you can pick their brains over a couple of coffees!!!! Here is a link to the video: ua-cam.com/video/1lpuIiPB2sk/v-deo.html
As a first time LS swapper these videos have been GOLD! Thank You! Question for you or the community... I am doing a 2002 LM7 with 4L60E swap into a 1956 Chevy 3100 and am having trouble tracking down info on how to wire a speedometer. Any help is appreciated by this newbie.
Thank you Sir! Not sure on the speedo solution as my config uses a cable off the transfer case that I plan to use. Hopefully some else can chime in.
Awesome. You can't get better than this folks.
Thank you Phil!!!!
Excellent video series! im down to the last portion of my harness, this makes the power block simple!
Love to hear it! Sounds like your close to letting it rip. Congrats! Mike
This is the best harness video for ls swap I seen
Thank you Chad! Love the feedback!
Wow! Great job! Informative and easy to understand series, which was also highly entertaining. Given me confidence to tackle the one job I was daunted by in my own ls swap.
Awesome.... I've hypnotized another!!!! Just kidding. After you break it down and understand the plan, it turns into a bunch of small projects! Cheers and have fun with it! Time to roll up your sleeves.
Well done with my swap And would like to thank Mike for the informative videos ,,If it wasn't for Mike I think wouldn't done it ,I Thousand Thanks Mike
Sweet! Always great to hear others being successful in taking on these types of projects. Cheers! Mike
Great Great info! Probably watched all in this series 50 times. I actually played this when I set up my harness. I did have a question that I could not find the answer. What size fuses did you place in the main hot and the remainder of the circuits? Thanks
Many thanks for the feedback. You should use 15 Amp Fuses in all 4 positions. Congrats for tackling this. It will be very rewarding. Mike
Thanks
This is an awesome set of videos and you did a great job with them. Thank you for taking the time to go thru everything!
Glad you enjoyed them! It was a very rewarding project!
UCanDoIt2 Have you dropped the motor in yet?
I have not... Doing bodywork now and then will move to undercarriage and new suspension.
Look forward to seeing the finished project
Thanks so much for putting all the work in to make these videos. You explained everything very well and made me feel confident enough to tackle this myself. Keep up the good work!
Patrick, Thank you for the response!!!! It is great comments like yours that make it all worth the effort!!!! We really had a great time with the build! Best of luck with your project!!!!
The best video on UA-cam thank you for the information
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent videos on the LS harness thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.
I appreciate that! It was fun, educational, and looks pretty cool now! Thanks!
Wanted to mention the way the lingo at least used to be for ignition vs accessory.
It used to be that accessory was things that on older cars would work if the key was turned back, like the radio would work but things like turn signals and wipers wouldn’t.
Ignition2 was the other things like windshield wipers but how they differed from regular ignition was that when you turned the key further into the crank position they would not work whereas the actual ignition obviously needed to still function. So on an automatic trans car if you would put the car in something other than park or neutral then put the ignition switch in the crank position you will notice that things like the radio and heater fan won’t work therefore leaving more voltage available for cranking and spark. This may come handy when you connect the actual switch because ignition and ignition2 can appear similar unless you check them during crank. Hope that makes sense and maybe helps in some way, enjoying your videos greatly. Cheers.
Actually it does make sense. You stated it very well. That should be helpful when I reach that point. Starting on the body work now and looking forward to someday getting the engine installed. Thanks again!
Meticulously well done! A man after my own heart 👍🏻
Good stuff Right???? Thank you Sir!!!
Made it a fun project and man its neat.👍👍
Thank you! And we are definitely having fun! Cheers to you and thank you for the feedback! Mike
Man these videos are great, ive watched the first 5 so far. Im getting ready to build my own harness & these have been great help. The one thing i couldnt find though was the links to the pdf’s bc they would be a huge help. Thanks for the great vids.
First of all... Thank you for watching. Glad you are finding them useful. If you are on a Computer, under the video is the description section and an item the says "Show More" there are many links there. If you are on a Mobile device style browser, below the video and to the right of the Title is a dropdown arrow that will display the links. Let me know if this does not help.
Thanks man when I watch your vids I can’t help but think this guy is a genius he no’s everything!!!!😁👍🏁
Haha!!! I am pretty good at figuring things out. I love to learn new things. Once I have it figured out in my mind, I find it easy to explain it. I try very hard NOT to come across as an expert. So much of this stuff I am doing for the first time... But I do fully understand it. Can't wait to tell my wife that I have been labeled as a Genious!!! Got to go find her.... bye!
Good job. It would be much easier for you with the proper crimp tools and give very secure connections. When I rewired my chevelle I upgraded to a newer fuse box and rewired the bulkhead. The crimping tool made life so easy.
Enjoying the videos.... Thanks for the content!
Thank you for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it. Mike
Awesome vid Mike. The on screen pictures are terrific. Bring it on 👍👍
You Da Man Steve! I'm just practicing to be Da Man! Thank you sir!
Harness looks great. That looks like a really nice connector especially for the price. We will need something like that for our frame swap. Thanks for sharing.
Very good and informative vid. On the k30 crawler truck in my vids I am just going to use an old school sbc for now but in the future I plan on doing an ls swap. Will be watching your series throughout. And like you I love wiring schematics. Love seeing how everything talks to each other and how the controls work and everything. Keep up the very good work.
K30 Kreepy Krawler yours sounds like an awesome build. Thank you sir!
Thanks for the videos! Very informative. I really appreciate the the wiring diagrams you made, they help tremendously!
Awesome! Good luck with your project!!!
I really learn something from you once again thanks.
Thanks for amazing information...and the great work you done.
Thanks for the feedback. Hope it helps you in your project or just for general information. Cheers to you! Mike.
Thanks for all the information and your hard work. I'm looking for a engine now and start gathering all the pieces to put it all together.
Very cool! It's a lot of fun! Take care and thanks for the feedback!
Hey i just want to start off of by saying you made diving into my ls swap that much easier!! Your videos are exactly what a beginner into the ls world needs to get going! Thank you for taking all the time you did to make this videos!
I did run into an issue i wanted to see if you could clear up, after cleaning up my harness i ended up with a pink wire that i earlier labeled "ignition voltage" and another pink wire coming from a pink connector. I have no clue where this pink connector goes to and i have connected all of the other plugs including build and connect my 4 wire fuse block with the 2 relays. Any information or pointers helps. Thanks again!!
So I think I can only answer you with a couple of logical thoughts since I cannot see what is going on. All Pink wires are switched voltage. One example of where you would have 2 extra pink wires than I did is if you kept both rear O2 sensors. You would have had to add that to your Pink switched wiring setup. If you can determine (following the wires or thru continuity testing where the wires go, you might be able to determine what you need to do with them. If they enter the harness and run back into the harness, they must go to a connector that you left in the harness and it would be safe to say they will need switched power..... add them to one of the existing fuses. These are just a few thoughts off the top of my head. Hope it provides some good guidance. Cheers!!!!!
I have followed along with your videos and wiring diagrams for my own swap. Excellent resources. The piece I have not been able to find is what size (amperage) fuses are you using in the 4 block module?
15 Amp for all 4 fuses. I wish I could add this as a note in the video. Cheers and have fun with yours!!!!!
fricken sweet video series on this harness!
Thank you! Hope it helps you if you plan to do the same! Mike
I subbed your channel I am putting a 6l in 50 buick I am at the wiring process today I watched the first 5 videos all the way threw now I will b going back to actually start the work
Sweet! Take your time and enjoy the process. Mike
Absolutely outstanding videos man. Thank you for taking your time to show us what you did. I believe I may attempt to do my own harness on my future ls3 swap into my impala project. Thanks again
Thanks for the feedback and glad you found it informative. Have fun with yours!!!!!!
Highly appreciate your work and instructional videos!
TheReinoPaasonen Thank you for the kind words. It has been fun doing the work and putting them together. Cheers!!!!
You are my hero. Thanks for all your vids.
Glad you found the series useful! Have fun with your project!!!!
Just finished up one of 2 harnesses today. Going im a twin engine offshore boat. Im familiar with the old ford 5.0 efi harnesses. Your vids gave me the motivation I needed and its pretty straight forward
Your project sounds awesome!!! Have fun and thanks for the feedback!
nice work mate, i like how in depth it was!
Hoping that it would inspire others that it might not be as hard as they thought. Thank you Jaymon!!!!!
So like with injector wires for example theres 8 all together do you bundle them up then solder them to a single bigger wire leading to the fuse box?
That is not how I did it. Here is a wiring diagram (LS Fuse Block and Relay Diagram: bit.ly/LS_Harness_Diagrams). On page two it illustrates my configuration which follows what I did in the video.
@@UCanDoIt2Mike thanks exactly what I was looking for appreciate the help
You are an awesome teacher sir , thank you very much
I appreciate the kind words! Thank you Sir!!!!!
Thank you for all the great wiring videos.! Your sure make it look less intimidating.
Oscar Perez Thank you Oscar! The intention was to show enough so that others might realize this is something that could be done. Some will get it others will not. Thanks and have fun with your projects.!!!!!!
Man this video really gives me the confidence to dig in and start doing my research to start pulling my harness out ...all love 2 the rowdy build ..really influence me to get my wire harness together for the lsx in my iroc z camaro
Z28Bam Bam That sounds awesome!!!!! Glad you enjoyed the videos. You hit the key words... “doing my research”. Have fun with it!!!!!
Fantastic video .
I appreciate the feedback. Glad you enjoyed... Mike
Before the gooey shrink tube, I used silicone but it is harder to shrink. Anyway, I love your approach. My favorite saying is "How do you eat an elephant, one bite at a time."
Another questions: The orientation of your relays looking from the bottom of your fuse block; left 30 , top 86 , right 87, bottom 85 ... correct? Just want to clarify because my fuse block is orientated left 85, top 30, right 86, bottom 87. Based on my initial diagram the wiring was following your diagram but I was looking at my fuse block. So basically it's just rotating your relay clock wise so the 30 position is at the top.
You are correct in what you stated for my setup ( left 30 , top 86 , right 87, bottom 85). Remember this is looking at the back of the socket, similar to looking at the back of the Relay. That sounds correct about you viewing my relay as if it was rotated clockwise 90 degrees. Remember that the trigger pin on a relay are 85 & 86. The main power will run through 87 & 30.
@@UCanDoIt2Mike Thanks again, I should be able to start wiring the fuse block this week and finish up the wiring series.
Great home made prints and detail. Thank you sir
jsee238!! Glad you found it useful. Have fun with your project.
Yes! Very! Yours is very clean and laid out logically/minimalistic. I'm about half done routing my harness. I'm doing mine while the harness is laid out in the engine pay so I can hide everything. I'm going to land all my power and functions like you did in your print so I can use your print as my own for installation and t/shooting later down the road. Thanks again
And also....you ran both bank of injectors together on the same fuse. What amp is the fuse. I don't know if one 15amp will do both sides. Gm originally uses one 15amp fuse for each set of injectors
According to the source that I used to put this together, a 15 Amp fuse is what is needed. Remember that all 8 Injectors fire at different times!
Good point!!!!!
Thanks sooo much i am doing an gen 4 6.2 swap into a 87 gmc R15 keeping the 6l80 if possible. And even on lt1swap . Com their is nothing about fuse block . Their is a lot for gen 3 . Your video has give me the help i needed even of its for a gen 3 im shure it will work
Awesome. There are many similarities. Have fun with your build. Mike.
Just found your channel and I'm loving it. Keep up the good work cause I'll be watching.
nooch631 I greatly appreciate the comment and I will be doing some updates very soon. Cheers!
