Tuning the Turbo 8.1 Silverado! First test drive
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- We've been working on UglyTruck's turbo kid since about October, and the 8.1 has been itching to run under boost, and today is the day it happens. I am so excited to be able to get it out on the road, but did it all work out smoothly? Also in this upload, we wire in an IAT sensor and 3-bar MAP sensor and get the base tune dialed in using HP Tuners software.

Who else instantly smiled along with LT when he "rolled in" to a little bit of boost and lit the tires up? I know it made me giggle!
i laugh every time I watch it, and im up to about 40 times now
Absolutely....ive had a couple of trucks that were completely modified from stock & the instant gratification of power just can't be beat😎🤜🤛😎
@@LawrenceTolman Thats one way of getting additional views! haha
Dyno session coming soon? I'd love to see the n/a to boosted comparison.
Nice to see your excitement about spinning the tires is genuine.Nothing fake here.
Super awesome job! And, not only was it built in a garage, but street tuning it too! Great video for us regular people!!!
thats the way its done!
Glad to be one of those thirty thousand subscribers!!
Keep up the good work. Right now i am working on an 85 square body but you make me really miss my old 1999 gmc with this build.
Congrats on 30K!!!! Glad to be a part of this great community!!! Awesome build as well!!!! Sounds wicked cool!!!!
Binged the entire Ugly Truck series last night, love all of it!!! Great job!!
Never thought I’d be so excited to see someone else get their project done! Sounds awesome and looks like it’s going to be a ton of fun!
Truck is looking good. Glad to see I'm not the only one that throws wiring scrap bits on the floor while working.
thats the only place to put em
That definitely put a smile on my face when you lit up the tires. I’m glad to be part of the 30,000 subscribers.
L.T. I know that feeling of all the hours and then the final payoff. Glad you remembered to latch the hood and torque the lugnuts. I’m the type that would’ve forgot the basics
Great job LT! My 40 year mechanic soul is proud of ya!!
That beast is a torque monster. It spins those tires like they aren’t even there. Sounds great 👍
4:30 gears on 30"tires so much torque to the tires
Gen VII BBC,
That's awesome! I couldn't help but get giddy along with you when the tires broke loose under boost. Great job!
Wow you are a great craftsman. That's a very nice truck.
thanks for the compliments!
"WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY"! You could have turned up the boost and and pushed it to it's limit but I'm glad to see that you are responsible and can drive it without trying to blow it up out of the gates like others do. Congrats on the SUBSCRIBERS!!
thank you! and you are right about that, the temptation is there, but also present is the understanding of how much work and expense it will take to build it if it does blow
Let's get this fella to a million subs he diserve it he wants to help us and exspaline the terms to us rock on bro
thanks!
The joy on your face after you burn the tires for the first time is priceless. Well done.
I have been watching you since your debut on Power Nation love your work and knowledgeability on automotive stuff. Cant wait to see you at 1million subs. keep up the good work
thanks a bunch! It would be so awesome to get there
Man that would be the perfect daily beater you can have some fun in, really like the way that trans shifts!
Nice project, owning a 1998 crew cab dually with the 454 this gives me inspiration and you take the guess work out of my project. Keep up the good work!
thanks!
But hell yeah. It’s cool to see a 8.1 liter
So cool to see all your hard work paying off
Congrats on your 30K. Very well deserved
No thankyou brother. Love the channel keep up the good work. Lets get you to 500k subs by the end of the year
LT you are the man! I’m a long time fan and have been watching you on truck tech for a few years so when I saw your personal RUclips channel pop up in my YT feed I said YES I will definitely see what he is up to.
I am pumped that you moved to UT. I live on the other side of the lake from you. Utah is a great place to be and the auto performance scene is pretty great here. It was better when we still had Rocky Mountain Raceway but we still have Utah Motorsports Campus and hopefully they put a drag strip out there.
Welcome to UT County man! Hope to see you out cruising sometime!
One of my favorite channels by far!
thanks! i appreciate the subscription
Stoked for ya brother! You are a better man than me, I would have had to see just how far that stock fuel pump would make it. Congrats on the goal and the #UGLYTRUCK.
Awesome to see it in action. Your reaction was fun.
Definitely one of my favorite builds. Always look forward to updates.
Take a look into Racerender if you haven't already. Makes a nice way to share what's happening with the gauge overlay. Excellent project, I'm sub'd for dyno results.
That's no ugly truck to me! She's gorgeous! I initially didn't really like that body style but it's grown on me and now I love it! Enjoy the channel! Keep it up!
I have followed this build from the start and have loved it! Congratulations on it! Great job!
Awesome! Thank you!
great to see the ugly truck finally moving after all the hard work the smile on your face says it all
keep up the good work..........loving it !!!!
thanks! It was so exciting to finally drive it under boost
LT, I enjoy content of you channel, you go over basics and journeyman level fab and bumper to bumper with great skill. I’m looking at making an AWD street strip truck.
thanks! i would love to do another AWD truck
30k!!! awesome videos LT you deserve it🤘🏼🔥
thanks a bunch!
Nice LT time to get a posi ,and some wide tires!!
Very cool !!!! 1st time 8.1 owner here. 2001 chevy suburban.....love your channel !
It's putting out some good torque and sounds nice and effortless.
Love the 8.1! After seeing so many throw it away, it's nice to see it on a path to redemption. Congratulations on meeting your goal!
Thanks so much!
Been a great series glad you’re having such a good success
Congrats on passing 30,000! Next is 50,000 then 100,000, great content! If you ever have time check out little moab in utah, a rock crawling place
Thank you! One, fantastic build. Two, That is the clearest explanation I've heard about ECU tuning ever. Subscribed.
Awesome info, would love to learn the programming side of things WAY more!!!
Looks sweet and sounds great
Congratulations !
Keep up the great work !
I happy to see this truck progressing !
Thank you for let us enjoy your great job
Hell yeah LT! I'm so glad you finally got a chance to get on that skinny pedal. 30k is a big achievement, I'll bet u hit 100k real soon. Love your videos, keep up the good work.
Love the video LT. I so want that truck!!! Very impressive tech. Your happiness is contagious!
Sounds sooo good!
I enjoyed watching the build vids. The grin during the burnout in 2nd gear priceless LT. 👍👏😁
thanks! that was legitimately the first good pull I did, and i just couldn't contain myself
It’s interesting to see the love these engines are getting, they never got the love they deserved and to mention the cylinder heads on this motor are different than your usual big block
Congrats on 30k, if I could, I would subscribe again. Looking forward to future builds. That's one killer truck WOW. Fan from Sydney, Nova Scotia
LT puttin in that work!!!💪💪💪
LT, I humbly thank you for walking us through this whole journey. From your introduction of Ugly Truck to us, to your cross country move, to your ear to ear smile of pride and excitement behind the wheel of this beast! I, as well as many of your other followers, I'm sure, really enjoy watching your videos and anxiously await for what ever you bring to us next. I wish nothing but success for you and your family and can't wait to see this ol, albeit no-longer-tired girl's official first dyno numbers. See you in your next video, brother!
Congrats on 30k!!!! I think you’re going to smash 100k well before the end of the year! Keep up the great work LT.
Great Job LT!!!
I feel your excitement. Gets me so excited to turbo my truck
This is me watching this video 😁, can’t wait for next one.
Great content, LT. Ugly truck is a dream build! I can't wait to see it make a pass.
me too!
Tuning is a new thing to me. As it's said in passing on multiple videos, but this is the first time it was explained to me. Doesn't seem too difficult with some good research and capabilities. Glad you included it #UglyTruck
I just got back from Hurricane for the Winter 4x4 Jamboree. Your truck is gonna be awesome for those 80mph speed limits out there. I can't wait to move there👍
Can't wait!
LT, I have a video suggestion, an explanation of what the wideband is, how it works, when do you need to use one. I eat sleep and breathe automotive anything, but I am clueless about the wideband O2 stuff, how and why you need one etc. If it’s not video worthy for the channel, maybe add it in during a tune portion.
its a great suggestion!
METH-A-NOL!!! METH-A-NOL!!! METH-A-NOL!!!
Glad you got it and I am glad you got the truck done. I'm glad you found your dream job and now your own business. I am going to say good job on the subscribed people who are watching and I am glad that I was in the first bunch. You are going to make it just like I will someday get to work for a gentleman such as yourself. I'm going to be 52 on the 14th and I am again happy to see you are enjoying the dream of the show to your business and channel. God bless and enjoy, as I said not work if you enjoy doing the things you love. Great evening and upcoming Thursday to you LT.
I cannot wait this thing is gonna be a beast!!!!
I’ve been waiting since the thread on RUclips saying it will be up on Wednesday
Yeah buddy! Fellow Utah County guy here!
Congrats on 30K! Y'all are kinda like a kid on Christmas Eve. LOL! That l'il giggle when the rear tires broke loose.
LT, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say, "Y'all should open an account with the local tire shop. After the new fuel pump and fine tuning are finished I have a feeling y'all are gonna NEED it!"
Giddy up.
Happy for you! You looked like a kid at Christmas.
all those long hours of work was worth it in that moment
I was smiling along with you LT!
Forgot to subscribe when i first saw the build. Glad it popped up in my feed again
the subscription is appreciated!
Congrats, LT. The truck really sounds bad ass!
I was excited as you when it went into boost buddy! So happy for you! Keep up the good work!
Great video brother! Glad it's coming together!
Happy to be a subscriber. Really been enjoying the content.
Love the build and just subscribed can't wait to see what comes next
you thinking of opening up a PO box? a little fanmail segment would be neat
alright good timing!!! I'm excited for this one.
Haha the post tire fry excitement was awesome dude!!! So rad!
I'm a simple man, all it takes is a little boost and wheel spin and I'm set.
That enthuzst apparel 👀 congrats on 30k 👍🏼
they have some cool designs!
Congratulations.
Looks great. Could you go into a little more detail about setting up the datalogging in HPtuners? I just have the standard MPIV2 without the wideband add-on. I'd like to see more about how you did it. I tune my pickup with Holley efi software, it's way different than HPtuners. I have a mild tune in my wife's Tahoe but wouldn't mind welding a bung for a wideband and tuning it correctly.
GPI has a video series on some of that. They’re also great at answering question were you to call them.
Congrats on the 30k, LT.
Great video! Can't wait to see it out on the road!
Congrats, cant wait to see the updated dyno numbers
You and me both!
I loved watching the straight laced technician face disappear with boost
You did a great job putting this truck together LT keep up the hard work
I cant wait for the converter to come it is going to make it so much faster
That went smoothly. Nice work. Luckily you didn't have too much knock after you got the fuel dialed in. I'm looking forward to how your data logs will look once you add a couple more pounds of boost. Congrats on the truck. It looks like all that hard work payed off 👍
Thank you!
Heck ya man! That’s awesome! Loved watching the build while I do my own.
3👍's up LT thanks again for taking us all along with you for the great show
Why do you look so nervous? You were on a tv show! Subscribed.

Thanks for sharing some of your tuning knowledge.
Congrats on 30k
That thing sounds like its going to be fast as all hell

Hell yeah LT keep the content rolling 💯
