LT, a little trick I have learned, when using a hole saw on plastic, after the pilot bit drills into the material, switch the drill to reverse. It doesn't take much longer, and the amount of debris created (shavings, etc) is dramatically reduced. I build police cars for a living, and installing strobes into the lights presents the issue of little shavings that you cannot remove (and are usually visible....)- that's the work around I came up with.
Footballs also work great as tank or intake plugs. God bless you and your family! Thank you for taking the time to teach and raise the next generation!
@@nintendogamer5472 False, the tank has metal "tangs" that hold the lock ring to the tank, which puff up just as bad as the lock ring. Just did one last week, cracked pump causing EVAP leak codes, caused by the lock ring expanding and cracking the sending unit. Trust me man, in the salt belt they don't come off easy :)

Hey LT, they make a pod that replaces the top of the steering column. I think that would look a bit cleaner than drilling into the dash, or bezel.

Good call on the hotwire kit. I did the Walbro 470 & Racetronix hotwire kit on my V6 Typhoon. It's a nice kit. I don't have anywhere near the cubes you do but I do plan on running E85 & close to 30psi though.
I have an 07 that I’ve had to replace a fuel tank pressure sensor. I ground it easy to losen the passenger bed bolts, remove drivers bolts, and then get a 2x4 to prop up the bed tilted to the passenger side. Easy for one man to do.
Wow i wish i watched this video FIRST before doing my turbo Silverado fuel system. I was unaware (learning) about higher current and it overpowering the stock wiring, also i ran two 320lph pumps and im now switching from the two to a single.
Hey LT! I’m glad to hear you are pursuing your dreams! I’ve loved watching you on Power Nation! I hope to jump after my dreams someday soon, you are an inspiration!

Hey man so glad I stumbled across your channel. Not only did I watch you on tv a few years back im from Maine aswell currently living in southern Maine I also lived in the county but Im currently doing some small stuff to my 8.1. Love seeing this content and seeing the Maine lobstah sign. Keep it up bud!
i didn't like to replace my fuel pump but when it came time i used the tilting of the bed method. Didn't take the whole thing off and just tilted it to the side.
That kid took that body pin out like a champ! Looks like you got a good helper there. You're doing exactly what I've been wanting to do with my 2000 Escalade, keep up the great work!
Hey man, this video was right on time, I’m getting ready to redo my fuel system to support the 85 for my LSA blower and modifying the stock bucket really concerned me as well. Check out the Holley Hydromatt, looks like a great option for us to prevent the fuel from sloshing around and running the fuel pump dry.
I’ve been fighting fueling ever since I upgraded my pump. I almost got a fuel cell kit but i actually ordered a Holley Hydramat instead, I have to install it but I believe it’ll solve my issue, you may consider as well if you get fueling issues after it’s all done up
i had thought aboutt Hydramat actually, just wasnt sure if it would connect to the Walbro pump. I guess I gotta look more into it if there are any problems
I've got a GMS 340LPH pump. It's still the stock size so I didn't need to modify anything. But I'm also not trying to make 1000whp. FuelLab makes a pwm pump where it adjusts the pulse widths to give you more fuel flow when you need it. I'm not sure how seamless the pressure is. You'd think it would need to see some sort of a pressure drop to signal ramping up the pump. Maybe it monitors the outflow back in the return line. If the return line flow is high, it turns down the pump, if the flow is lower, it ramps up the pump. Regardless, Im not sure i would want my fuel pressure to drop when I hammer the throttle.
@@martyengland1964 mine is a granatelli motorsports. But any 340lph should work for you. The box on mine originally said 82-92 f body but it's the same size as any in-tank pump.
I feel like your day job and family are getting in the way of providing me with my automotive content fix. Please do away with these distractions to better suit my life.
you aren't going to have ant issues from the looks of what you put together there. but if you have any fuel starvation issues the quickest guaranteed way to remedy that is to pop that sock off and replace it with holley hydramat and leave the assembly as is. they work great and completely get rid of temporary fuel slosh starvation. they are on the pricey side but have some good budget sizes that will have good reach in your tank and flow plenty for your power even if you convert to e85 later.
I re-pined the stock connector and had to go back in and replace the connector with a new sealed delphi style and run power and ground through a grommet in the top of the hat that I sealed. Hope yours doesn't have any issues.
Hell yah dude can you explain your HP tuners set up in one of your videos in some detail. I love the content and its cool to see your son helping out cheers
Great video but I wish you would have shown just exactly how you mounted that pump with the safety wire. Great job showing part #'s. Most RUclipsrs don't mention or show that.
@@LawrenceTolman do you have any still shots of it or maybe some unedited video? This is my next step on my list and if you could help me understand just how to mounted it inside the bucket would help. Thanks!
Lawrence lt tolman big fan of ur channel love the all videos very good explaining ,have a question on GM SUV/Car 280 Fuel Pump Wiring Harness is that only for turbo or will it work also on n/a walbro 450? Or factory will work on my end? Thx in advance
For the guys doing the TBSS intake swap and using the corvette regulator it hovers around 58 psi. and that uses the same size return on the trucks. so i figure 60 psi at idle is fine.
Really enjoy watching your videos. You do a good job of explaining things. How big is the garage, you work in? I like the layout of it. Keep up the good work!
I did mine similar, only thing is the pass thru will eventually cause you issues. my pump has been in 3 different trucks now and still works fine i had to run wires directly from the pump out the tank map sensor hole to a relay and havent had issues yet.
Great show great information that i will need here in the future. Is there a reason u didn’t go with hell cat pump because that pump is rated at 525 LPH would it be to much for stock lines idk just asking because thats what iv been pondering on. Keep up the great work Josh.
that was my worry, was that a larger pump would be too much. according to the fuel pressure gauge, the 450 is about as big as I want to go on stock lines/regulator.
question does the harness listed work with the none e85 vers of the 450 or is there a seperate one to get. looking to do the swap into a 2000 silverado 5.3 end goal is close to high 3 or 400 hp nothing crazy and remain n/a all motor. been following you for a very long time loving it all.

I have my own auto repair shop in Wisconsin and I am very jealous of how easy that fuel pump lock ring loosened Lol
their pretty good for the most part here in oklahoma but when i was in northern wyoming, i know what you mean for sure
That's because everything rusts really bad by us.

Check out the Holley Hydromatt, looks like a great option for us to prevent the fuel from sloshing around and running the fuel pump dry.
3rd option for fuel is to get a diesel sump and keep the 450 in tank and add a 2nd pump on a pressure switch or a hobbs switch.
I thought about a diesel sump, but the fuel tank barely rubs on my trailer as I load it up, so that would get hung up.
Looks like you have a very competent helper. Great video. Interesting!
he does very well
The music put me in a weird trance at times. I kinda liked it. 😂

glad you made it!
And the nice thing is the older chevys had a return system for the fuel.
