In Todays Video , I am STRUGGLING to get my LS Swapped 1981 C20 Square body Started for the first time. This is why it pays to listen to your own advice. VATS absolutely needs to be 100% disabled or you will end up like me.

Watched your Vid all the way through. I lost my brother unexpectedly last year and he was working on a 1950 3100 and a 1954 Bel Air. I felt completely lost on how to continue his work and see his vision through. I stumbled on your videos explaining LS fuel systems and learned a lot from your channel. Your channel is helping me complete my brothers vision and helping me heal. Thanks Borski! Keep up to good content and I cant wait to see your 3100 pick up truck vids.
Thank you man! Sorry about your brother, you'll get it going, and hell live through that car.
Could watch you cranking this truck all day! Please post more hard starts 😊😊
I’m a new subscriber, however my heart goes out to you bro. My dad had cancer a few years back an almost died. God gave us another chance and although we butt heads a lot, your story has inspired me to set aside our differences and enjoy the time I still have with him. Sorry you lost your father. I’m sure he is proud of you looking down and seeing the cool vehicles you’ve built and sharing the experience with viewers. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing as well. I appreciate you watching
Hey Jovani, nice work. I got mine to fire up on Sunday. A lot of the stuff in your videos has been really helpful and got me to the point of a successful fire up. I love that rumble when you got it going. Keep up the great work.
Thank you! And congrats on a successful start!
Hello there mate....! Loved your video.... Never saw any tuning video in full spec like yours..... Keep up the good work man..... Love from India.....
Way to go JD! I love the way you kept on trying to get her going. Hey...I am also working on my dad's 64 C10. Having a 5.3 installed now. Talk to you as you go along!!
Thanks! And sounds good. I'm here
This vid is the most interesting i watched all of it for my future ls swap .
That last few minutes of the video gave me chills. Doing incredible things for the right reasons. Best of luck and I can’t wait to follow along and see this beast when it’s done 🦾😎
Thank you 🙏 I appreciate it!
Happy to see running. Congrats. Can’t wait to see you start on your dads truck.
Thank you!
Man ..i felt the excitement when ya got it started ..
It's a great feeling!
This was an awesome video to watch. I like watching these kind of videos. I love the grind
Thanks man! Long time no talk!
@@JovaniDanteGriego lol I know man. Life has been crazy for me recently 😂
Great video.. I'm new to a LS swap and these are great videos.
Thank you!
Love this!! Thank you for the motivation bro!! 😎
Congrats on starting and moving.
Thanks!
That’s awesome man congrats!! Hopefully I get mine started next weekend. I ended up buying the new bulkhead from American autowire that I’m finishing up, weather in Vegas is finally cooling down that I could finally work on it😂
Man it's been hot in the west this last few weeks
Keep it up with the Great Videos! I learn a lot from you💯
Thanks man!
I haven't worked on my truck(53) for three years. Just put in a crappy motor to get the juices flowing. It's running. I need at least one tire to go down the road.....And back. Lol. Some other stupid stuff. Make it happen bro. Love to keep pace with you. (Minus LS. That's for year end of early summer).
Yea man! For sure! Let's get these things going
I would rat Rod that 55 with stuff laying around that reminds you of your dad
And I would hit swap meets up and use random parts to make it a one of a kind unique and original build
so ready for the next project been searching for a 52 chevy 5 window.........man pops would be happy to see it back bro.
Those 5 windows are hard to find, keep searching! And thank you 🙏
Great job 👏🏾 man I’m a big fan I am right behind you in my c 10 also
Thanks for watching!
Good Job lil sir! Much
Thanks for watching!
Sheesh that's crazy I thought I recognized the terrain in passed videos and just came to realize your from New Mexico. Much love from Espanola
Thanks for watching man!
Thanks for the video it will be a big help to me
Of course. Thanks for watching!
Damn dude. This video makes me thankful I haven’t done a thing to my 77 3+3….changed the oil for the second time in 4 years. (She on lockdown)
Nice I have a 76 3+3 dually
Great video I've been learning a lot from watching your vids I have a swap I want to do on my 85 s-10 I'm pretty nervous about it because my family keeps saying it's too small but I've seen pictures of other People's s-10 swaps and I feel I can do it I just hope I don't have to weld or cut anything lol.
Its small but it fits ! You shouldn't have to weld or anything, just make sure you find some good mounts that you know fit, search forums and all that to see if anyone else has used em!
@@JovaniDanteGriego thank you, I'll do that!
Let’s go project truck time I got a 70 c10 passed down that I need to work on too
Hell yeah man! Get after it!
Man .I can't wait till I am done.i have just installed Ls in my 03 dodge Dakota..but it won't stay on..the donor truck I had the engine I had no problem before I took the engine out but I think I'll figure something r out .good truck buddy...
How long does it stay on for?
Hey Jovani, I can't tell you enough how ridiculously awesome your video's are. I've been swapping an LQ4 into my 85 K5 Blazer and I think I've seen/read just about everything out there. You are hands down the best. I also have no start. What HP Tuners product are you using? I've been using a cheap code reader from O'reilly's and it's not pulling up any codes. The tuner disabled VATS.
Im using the old mpvi they have a newer version now that works as well, but I would go back to your tuner and maker sure he wrote off vats correctly, as you saw here I had to do it twice for it to actually work
Keep it going bro!!!!! Bad ass!!! Keep pushing!!! Looking forward to the next video !
Thanks man!
Yeah im pass ready to do mine 🤪😌
Hell yeah!
That next project should be named “legacy” !
I think it will be 😏
My dad died from cancer two years ago.. that dodge Dakota was going to be our project.well when I got out of prison. I only had six month with him before he pass away..I hope u finsh it just like I am...I'm next door..I live in San Antonio TX
Sorry about your pops. They'll love through these cars
Open the throttle blade screw 1/4 turn
Great👍
I used the ign spade tab on the fuse block
Good call!
What part of NEW MEXICO. IM FROM THE EAST SIDE OF THE STATE
Hey bro what do us swap guys do about evap codes in old 80s cars? i have 3-4 evap codes that reoccur soon as i drive it?
Disable the mil lights for those codes. In hptuners mark as do not report error
Hi what transmission mount did you use?
Great video as always. What did you find to be the issue?
When I flashed out VATS I used the wrong write method. Write entire was the appropriate option and I chose something else. Also I left my crank position sensor unplugged slightly behind the starter.
Wow...it sound so mean!!!
I know!
Man i hope you do a gbody and that will sell fast!!
Hey Man,I recently purchased a 91 s10 blazer. I'm wanting to do a LS swap. Any advice or videos that would be helpful. I have done a basic v8 swap in my s10 cameo and still working out all the bugs but I'm always looking ahead for the next project. Thanks so much.Shane
The S10 is a super common platform, the basics are all the same, I'd recommend looking at the best set of mounts you can afford as space is right
What settings did you use on your multi-meter and how did you connect it? I have zero experience with these things....mine actually started smoking.
For 12v dc systems you put the red in the socket with the V symbol and your black in the COM port.
Touch your red to the positive wire and your black to a ground, either the frame or battery negative. Set your meter to 20V DC and you should be able to read your voltage with the proper decimal place
Also the DC symbol is _.. not ~
I’ve hit rock bottom with my LS and can not figure it out .. i feel like I’ve checked everything electrical I’ve replaced things.. the engine turns but have no spark.. have my harness looked at twice everything’s seems to be grounded properly and everything’s working correctly ..
Did you disable vats?
Very serious question. With all that was done and the condition of all the parts used. Is this a truck that ya'll think would last a long time and be pretty reliable? Thinking about ls swapping my c20 but can't afford a new ls engine and don't want to do all that work to have it break down again
Yes definitely
I’m praying that my vats is the only thing holding me up lol i got it cranking but it don’t want to start getting my vats deleted in 2 days 🤦🏽♂️
It definitely is
@@JovaniDanteGriego I’ll find on Monday bro thanks
This is why I hate factory ecu's, and own both fitech ultimate LS and terminator x systems. ....not quite budget friendly but soooo much user friendly. .....although I did use a factory 411 ecm on my '73 c10 swap......luckily the guy I bought the motor from already had the ecu tuned and dialed in to the mods he made on the 5.3 motor....all I did was add a cheap China $200 ebay harness.......but on my '74 nova the 370" lq9 I built with a lsa supercharger and 11.25:1 compression with 64cc ls3 heads I ran my fitech at first with a ls3 intake when it was N/A, but when I added the lsa supercharger is when I went too the terminator x.....now the fitech setup is sitting in a box in my garage and will be used on my built l96 that I put ls2 flattops in with a cam and 64cc ls3 heads for 11.15:1 compression. .......by the way that crew cab dually in the background is awesome, and pops truck will be just as cool, hell your already half way there
Yea I would love of the holleys we're cheaper it just simplifies everything! Thanks for watching!
I have the same ebay harness everything works great except for I am not getting ground to my injectors. Any suggestions?
Ground is controlled by the ecu, that's how they work. The ecu grounds the circuit which fires the injector. Check it while it's running
It will start with starting fluid but that's it. The other harness I had on the truck ran so I know it's not a pcm issue vats is deleted.
@@Romi.Frentescu you sure you don't have your driver side on your passenger side, etc?
Yes I am sure lol. I stick a test light into the plug and it doesn't even ground at all.
@@Romi.Frentescu sounds like a wiring issue then, are you getting 12v on the other wire?
What going on with the white dully?
Just posted a new video on it
What part of New Mexico
Northern
Why not delete vats from the get go?
I did, at least I though but I used the wrong write sequence and it remained after the flash
Seek Jesus! He’s the ONLY way!!
What hp tuners software are you using?
The software is all the same. The hardware is a mpvi
Wth!!!you never uploaded the video how do you connect everything😭😭😭
The wiring harness video covers most of it
@@JovaniDanteGriego sorry bro 😭I'm a beginner working on an 84 lq4 4180 and the only thing that hinders me is all this harness
Yea check out the last two videos It covers mostly everything
@@JovaniDanteGriego i already did, i have seen all your videos about c10 swap ,badass videos have helped me a lot
I've been asking myself where did I go wrong for 6 months.
In regards to what?
Wiring, timing and just short of sacrificing a chicken to make it run.😬 I've tested the power 12v crank, rechecked the timing, new plugs, new coils, new injectors, grounded everything. I've ordered new wiring harness just see if that helps. Not giving up.👽
Keep trying!
