The best thing about the GMT 800 platform was the availability of the 8.1 liter Vortec.

My friend had a rivian he sold it due to it's unpractical. No one can work on them. You have to take it back to the factory. No dealership.

Well guys, "soon" quickly turned into "right now" and I HAVE to do this swap. My 4l60e lost third gear in my 1990 c1500. I think I will go with a remanufactured 2WD NV3500 from Midwest Transmissions. I emailed them yesterday about gearing and the clutch / flywheel. I can get a new Dorman manual transmission driveshaft. I have my donor 1990 k1500 for the clutch and brake pedal, but it looks like I can buy a set fairly cheap too. Did you guys remove the dash to install the clutch pedal support bracket from your donor truck? Or were you able to snake it up in there without all that? The video didn't say or show. I know I'll have to pry the bracket out of my donor truck by removing that dash, like you all did. Thank you guys again for this series, I may ask some more questions soon, but I'm committed now, not just curious. Looks I will have less wiring to do, mine being a 2WD. I may leave the cruise control for later when I swap steering columns (I'll make it a separate project).

I also got my 94 blazer from the west coast, I can't imagine driving any other vehicle

🧔🏾‍♂️👍🏾

I have 2005 1500HD. I wanted one for years. Found one used during Covid. Market inflation added 3k on to what I paid. I bought it and it’s been the best truck I’ve owned. I’ve had it for three years, mine has 4.10s with the Bose speakers as well. I love the idea of putting in the bench seats. Just hit 173k miles and still running strong!

Commenting in this 1 year later. Here’s a tip that might help other owners. If Rivian provides you a rental as a service loaner from your local Enterprise near your home or nearby the area where your R1 broke down highway, and you’re far from the service center, insist you return the rental to Rivian as a 1-way rental, then they can figure out how to return it to enterprise.

Bought my 2005 Silverado Quadrasteer in 2009 and still have it to this day. Great truck! The engines are pretty much bulletproof and the Delphi QS system is solid! Great to see peoples reaction when you’re backing out of somewhere and they’re behind you lol. I’ll never get rid of this truck.

where did you get the book with the diagrams

Nice man 👍. I have a 92 GMC Yukon truck 2 door too, i love it a lot

Why do you call it a 'temporary' fix? Looks like it will last.

Good luck ever finding a new bed if you ever need one

Okay I was watching again and they put the rear seal in the back of the motor they never led up the crank so that way the seal won't stick to the crank while good people don't know what they're doing

Well I know this is an old video but I just seen it I'm not too happy about the guy doing this the FRAM oil should be a Wix filter instead of a piece of junk frame

I have 1994 gmc Yukon white with z71 badging factory where are y’all at on your I’m trying to restore mine as well would love a follow video on it thanks

Interested to know if a year later Rivian has fixed Camp mode to work as expected for you or are you still experiencing these sorts of problems?

This is by far the best video I’ve found on loading this machine. I’ve only had my machine about a month and, like you, I searched RUclips high and low for a simple video showing how to load your quilt. I’m so glad I found your video! I love how you explain everything as you go and take your time to allow viewers to actually see the process. I do have a question, though. I notice when you’re basting your quilt you don’t do needle down and needle up to raise your bobbin thread, or maybe you did and I just missed it. If you don’t, do you just take off sewing like on a regular sewing machine? Also, I see you use your thread cutter. Have you had any problem with your bobbin thread being cut too short to continue sewing? I hope I make sense. Thanks!

Very nice video love it , hoping to find a 5 speed . Y’all keep doing it love the family vibes .

That door should buff out

Hi with this swap did you have any problems afterwards with the automatic computer? I just did this swap on my 94 K1500 with a 350 and since I finished the swap the engine does not like idling, surges bad and misfires.

What is the swater you’re using?

How long did it take for your sheep to get used to be milked? We have 3 Icelandic ewes, two of which have lambed now and one more expecting soon. I would like to start attempting to milk them but am worried at how they will respond. They already are extremely wary of us. We got them just last summer and over the winter we were able to finally get two of the 3 ewes to eat grain from our hand. The one who won't come near us still is the one that we tried to milk when we first got her because she had just been separated from her lambs when we brought her home. Ever since then she is the wariest of them all. How do you keep your sheep from being afraid of you?

Wow I am impressed with the size of their udders, my dairy specific sheep don't even have udders that large!

Thank you. How long to they produce milk after lambing?

It’s too bad you had these issues with your R1S, they should not have happened and I can understand how frustrating it was for you. I have an R1T which had noisy half-shafts and Rivian replaced both of them with new updated ones, and now they are absolutely silent. I have had nothing but stellar service from Rivian even though the service center is a bit of a drive for me. My car is an incredible machine which I charge from the solar panels on my home, a very poetic experience! In my opinion, it’s unfortunate, that you’ve switched back to a massive ICE vehicle which is a polluting gas guzzler. The Rivian is not only more economical in the long run, as you mentioned, it also has a much smaller carbon footprint than the ICE tank, which unfortunately for many, is never a consideration. Down the line, if you were to give another Rivian EV (or other brand) a chance, I bet you would have a more positive experience.

Thanks for the video. Can you tell me if you can change the commande to left handed?

Hi, any chance you have the dimensions for the hole that you cut in the floor for the shift tower?

Why would you convert the GMC Yukon to a Chevy Blazer??? The Yukons are way more rare in the marketplace. It’s like you’re choosing to devalue the work you do 🤷‍♂️!

If I wanted to use an icelandic sheep for my homestead dairy, what are your thoughts on their milk production for a family of 8? The milk would be for consumption, not soap. What about their temperment with children?

Hi. Another fellow Minnesotan here (and in the cities!). I appreciate you putting out these videos as well. I'm finding there is very little information out there about these machines. I used to own a Handiquilter and am now looking at this Jukie longarm. So any content you can upload on operating the machine would be greatly appreciated. I have a question on the frame. Is it a Juki frame or is it a grace frame? The juki website doesn't give me that information, and how sturdy is it? Does it have the ability to attach the quilt top to a take-up roller or just float it? Thanks.

10 months ago but it's obvious it takes a certain type of person to own this car. You are so forgiving and level headed. This is not normal or acceptable to most people. One day will be ready for general consumption. As of now they should require a psych test to make sure the purchasing party can handle the ownership experience.

LoL, I was just looking at a red 2008 on Facebarf asking way too much, perfect car yada yada, last word, goes in reverse has issues forward. Not having a magic wand to put a silver body on the old wheels. I shall un-favorite the 2008 for way too much and go follow the 2010 MKX at a local impound auction until it comes on the block this next week.

I really liked these videos on the manual transmission conversion. I am considering doing this myself. This is by far the most informative video on this topic I have seen so far. I think it's great to see young people do things like this. Awesome!

Do you recall if that whining noise (for lack of a better term) on the highway was motor / drivetrain noise, or probably noise from A/T tires? It seemed to be speed dependent.

I know it has been awhile since you fixed your truck. I was curious if the one piece rear main seal you put in ever started leaking. I had someone do mine when they replaced the clutch and it leaks.

I have a 2WD 1500HD LS No quadsteer but wished it were.

It's such a nice looking vehicle, but the magnitude of the problems is a deal-killer for most.

Question about what you would recommend for wool combs for Icelandic fleece processing? Ie pitch , brand , size ect thanks

This is still happening. Except we’ve had ours for almost a year. Same exact thing going on but the suspension hasn’t dropped yet 😅 my local service center says it has “no service appointments available” lmao

I get the trade, we have a Yukon 3.0 diesel. I have an f150 Lightning as my car and we love having an EV and an ice suv. I’d like to look at Rivian in the future , but they need to fix some of their issues mostly related to being a new OEM. My Lighting as had zero issues in the one year ownership. Sorry you had to let the Rivian go.. hope you didn’t take a bath on it especially with the suburban being a slightly less MSRP.

rivian doesnt have a good repair team and there repair prices are astronomical 3k to change a window..2k to reset batteries...3k to repressure your suspension which is caused by a hydraulic leak on your passenger side. but rivian wont tell you that ...look for ch11fs on the floor greenish tint fluid.. system runs at 120 psi. slight hole and its over

Good luck with your Suburban. I went from a 2016 Suburban to a Rivian R1S and it has been great. Thule rooftop box replaced the bit of extra space I lost. I couldn't have been happier to get rid of my suburban. By 95,000 mi I had put more than $20,000 in non-warranty repairs into it including a new transmission and AC condenser. I'll never own another GM product after that awful experience. Rivian is is working out some kinks in service but in my experience since June they have made huge leaps in improving that and I expect that to continue.

that's why 48 v is the future as you can wait and see Tesla will transfer CT tech to S3XY. Rivian has no choice, since it is a a quality control. I doubt the inventory of 12voltst in productionise slow charge. Tesla has the same issue with 12volt. That is why 48 volt is the future.

seems Rivian, will have at least 5 more years of improvement to catch up to Tesla. i was considering the R1S, needs to update to NACS charging

We only have a family of four and we got a suburban. My brother works for Rivian corporate and I conidered an R1S. However, the extra room in the suburban is well worth it and we even live in California where gas is never below $5.00/gallon. Great video and congrats on the Suburban!

Отлично!

Such a good video. Many, many thanks! It has been taking me ages to get my wool to felt and it turns out I wasn’t using hot enough water! Happy felting 😊!

Had an R1T ordered but canceled the order when Rivian started deleting options from the vehicle and I would have had to travel 3.5 each to service center when they discontinued home pick up. I feel I made the right decision for me! Thanks for the video and insight.

Great project!

Great job guys!
