It just amazing of what LT is capable of inside a home garage without requiring a huge amount of specialty equipment and tools. Thanks for bringing us along and the great videos..
True statement. You know LT, I know you understandably want a shop, where you can take your build to the next level with lifts, specialized tools, etc. however maybe part of your channels ‘brand’ is showing us the quality, craftsmanship, and polished product that’s capable in a garage with parts store parts and tools? I at least appreciate what this channel is, and enjoy your projects……. Though I’m pretty disappointed you let go of the DINAN E39 (I’m probably on my own there) 😂
THIS IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!! I'm mechanically inclined to a point, two things I won't touch, an automatic transmission and a rear. I'll change either. My man changed rear gears with the rear in the truck. What can I say my boy is NICE!!!!!!
This might sound dumb, but your videos bring back memories. I’m watching these videos with my 2 year old son and seeing him get excited over the sights sounds and sights makes me so happy. It feels like me and my dad watching overhaulin on a cold morning in the winter getting excited about what vehicle is being worked on. Thanks for the content and keep doing what your doing. So excited to see what’s in store for the fleet!
i had an 04' Silverado SS...for 13 years!!! besides brakes,bearings, and a water pump...that truck was impossibly reliable. i did service it by the book...and after 150k miles i did replace the leaf springs and front shocks to improve the road feel. anyone who knows 99-06 chevy trucks knows how bulletproof these things are.the SS's lq9 high compression 6.0, heavy duty transmission are a great combination...but that AWD system is what makes that truck " exotic " for lack of a better term. a ton of power in a heavy truck really needs to transfer power evenly as possible for a great launch.with the 4.10 gears and wide tires...that truck wouldn't even chirp the tires...i would just see the hood lift up in front of me as the truck grabbed the asphalt and just took off.it would confuse all those who pulled up next to me at a light for a race.i wouldn't always win...but i would always laugh at how close i was was when i lost. the set up here is awesome. unfortunately my truck got totaled after keeping after her for so long.they have me 15k for her...she was a gift that kept on giving my 17' Silverado midnight edition has no soul in comparison .its like my first wife died and i remarried.that chassis was excellent too...the "z60". I'd love to see this truck with an lsx 454( with carburetor) in all black...with the 90s SS quarter panel " 454 SS" decals...that would be my dream build.
I agree 100%. I feel like it's common knowledge among motor heads that the 6.0 is durable. But most people don't know to what extent. Had an 03 6.0 that I sold at 405k before I had it the tree service I worked for had it. 3 years: no oil change, 3 different drivers that tried driving it like a race toy, towing a skid steer and stump grinder at one time doing 80mph down interstate and general neglect. I bought the truck and when I tuned it up overdrive actually started working lol. Used a mixture of conventional 5w30, Lucas oil, and marvel mystery oil. Called it motor milk lol. I'm convinced there's not a gas burner with that many miles on the original engine that can take that amount of abuse. Maybe the Toyota 5.7.
They have been easily built to handle over 1000 HP. Since there is no tcm for the LS for the 8L90 or 10L90(sad) I'm thinking of a 6L90 built which removes the 1st OD gear and keeps the 2nd.
@@LawrenceTolman Did you know back in the day when this truck was new there was an option for active suspension called ride control I had a truck with it it was pretty cool
so glad to see that the GMT800 pickup truck after 25 years since its inception is MORE POPULAR THAN EVER! Forget the previous K2 and current T1, they're laden with sensors and all high tech crap you don't need!
Love your vids LT! Been a fan since the start of the 8.1 truck. Your video on the information display from the Denali is probably my favorite. So helpful when I swapped an Escalade console into my 1500HD!
Wow, what a video, usually I don’t like music in videos but the way you put everything together kept my attention, what an awesome build, definitely cool to see it whoop so many coupes- I need to learn how to weld already
I had a 02 flare side 4x4 . Competition orange color interior painted as well. Chipped lifted by pro comp wheels tires 315 70 r16 pro comp as well custom dual exhaust nerf bars grill headlights taillights 5.7 vortec I bought the truck with 6 miles dealership tailored it to custom shop in obx had everything done the deliverd to me. Loved it
Kinda how I figured it would go. Converter helped offset the launch and then the longer gear let the 4.8 stretch its legs. Did sound like it may have bumped the limiter on the 2-3 but could have been my ears. Glad it is good to go.. now time to flog it at the track
One of your last videos, you outline your process of only doing it right and the best way possible. Making your channel essentially the opposite of the Finnegan channel and is the reason I can’t continue watching his videos. Thanks for setting the example of the right approach to doing projects.
I've enjoyed watching this build... I learned alot. I'm excited to see where u go from here. I know my opinion doesn't really matter, but I'd love to see u start with a 6.2 from a camaro. Maybe finish it off with camaro wheels and seats... kinda like the 67 c10 Foose built... wasn't crazy like this, but was a mix of a c10 and a camaro... I think that would be a fun direction.
94 s10 ss 6l 4l60e transmission built by Vickers triple disc billet 3200 stall still NA upgrading fuel system to handle E85. Need to figure out how much injector next. Static compression 10 to 1 cam according to numbers and how I installed it is just over 12 to 1. But can't wait to see more it's been a blast so far
Kudos for doing it on a 4.8l. Easier route and longer term a bigger displacement engine been an easier route, but shows can do big things with what got .
This inspired my Sierra build right now. Currently its a 4/6 dropped 4.3 rcsb 4x4 06 Sierra. Have a 5.3 that im currently building for it, have an AWD transfer case ready
i was just out in SLC 2 weeks ago I wish I could have had an opportunity to see that truck. What a great build. Makes me want an LSA blower on my denali
this is an awesome video! i have a 2004 5.3 rcsb stepside silverado and want to refresh all the suspension upgrade the wheels and tires and get her up to date. good to see its possible
Hey LT, I just watch a video about the GMC Syclone & Typhoon & it was fascinating! Maybe you should take the 8.1 out of your truck & stuff it in an s15 or an El Camino!
I have thought about trying to stuff the 8.1 into a 4wd S-10 to make a big block AWD syclone... I imagine that would be a challenge to make it all fit though
Hey man just wanted to say I just became I big fan and it's funny cause I'm out in utah County too from the looks of it you're out in Saratoga somewhere I'm in Orem. Just wanted to say love the videos and keep up the great work
Stumbled into your channel and I really enjoy this kind of content. The huge text while you're talking is obnoxious, but overall great job. You just gained a subscriber!
@@seriouspilot3546 truck was 4x4 prior and about 4,000 ish to do everything. Now im trying to figure out what to do on the fuel system since I do not have a return style system and need to up the size on the pump/injectors for the procharger.
Bro love them sport trucks , had an 89 silverado 350 regular cab, fun truck, buddy had a mild cam in his, more fun it was., it would run with z28 camaros
I was hoping that a drumstick would be in this video! After all, they were critical for the project lol. Crazy awesome job, can't wait for the new engine in Ugly Truck and all the projects after!
I want to 4l80e swap my 2006 awd GMC Sierra from a 4l60e do i need to change the tails shaft to keep awd transfer Case and will my stock flex plate work for the 4L80E?
Like Your channel LT, I’m looking to build something just like this but living in the northern Indiana rust belt a rust free 4x4 truck is hard to find. I can find decent 2WD trucks. Can the GMT800 2WD be converted to 4WD/AWD
For certain hp builds I like the 60's... 2 reasons really. Less parasitic loss and weight. I have found by keeping the 60's cool (around 140-150 on a 100 degree day in TN) they live a long life... heat just kills them. Great content and I love your truck LT!
I would like to rebuild my 5.3. Could someone point me in the right direction to get some good info on the proper procedures when rebuilding a 2003 5.3 engine? Any info very much appreciated.
Dang my 99 ext Silverado stock with exhaust an a tune an 799 heads off a 2008 Tahoe does about 8.5 to 60 the ole lady’s 2006 Tahoe bone stock to the exhaust does 9s to the 60 why is the single cab slower?
LT we need you to evolve one rung on the dad ladder and start getting into fast station wagons. Not asking for minivans or crossovers, mind you, just a nice fast wagon that you can fit both balls into:) Nice truck btw. I appreciate the Clemson colors.
Can somebody explain (@ 2:24) how he can jack the rear of the truck up but rear bumper doesn't move an inch. Yet you see bed going up? Divorced bumper option?
This was Belltech 2” drop spindles, atomic fab front coilovers with another 1” drop, rear shackles and hangers (4” drop) plus Caltracs for no wheel hop
LT, absolutely wonderful video of the start to finish off the copo truck!! Now i have plethora of your Playlist of i need some work done! But i may need some torque specs for the transfer case, do you happen to have a list as i was not able to find specs to assemble the t case without the torque specs! If you can provide some, that would be awesome! I enjoyed watching this vid! I'm really early subscriber from your Tennessee days as early maybe 4k subs. Been interested ever since! Your loyal fan, Josh.

Takuaches everywhere shedding a tear watching this
Legit, that was a hell of a burnout about half way through this video. Goddamn.
Would love to see you do a 4.3L (LV3) turbo build, like a new school GMC Syclone.
Kinda how I figured it would go. Converter helped offset the launch and then the longer gear let the 4.8 stretch its legs. Did sound like it may have bumped the limiter on the 2-3 but could have been my ears. Glad it is good to go.. now time to flog it at the track
You’re right, it did hit the limiter for a second I need to still play with the shift points to really dial it in… that’s a 7,100 rpm limiter BTW

Dude...that's just like a fullsize Cyclone well without the turbo V-6. Very cool, rock on.
“Local drag strip” lol anyway I love this pickup
All that work laying on your back. No lifts. DANG son!!
love this build. Im trying to get a NBS single cab sierra and do a similar build. Looks great and sounds great. good job!

Just getting started on my 05 RCSB project now. Got the AWD and 4l80 in and driving normal "ish". Getting ready to boost it and hope for the best
Nice!
How much did it cost to switch it to AWD and was your truck 2wd before?

The bright orange looks like the utility work truck orange. Nonetheless, an awesome transformation!
What size cam would you recommend with twin 78 turbo on a 5.3?

Is that a flex fuel sensor at 18:57? Would like to know how it was wired. Thanks!
Great build and a great result.
Love the videos come pick my 04 tahoe 4.8 up please and do the natural build 😊
The bracket that you built to make the front differential work…is that available?
i saw and actually still have a picture of your truck from ls fest, one of the cleanest ones there by far!
I have to see the transfer case videos to understand how this is different than the normie 4wheel set up. AWD? I want to know.
That truck nothing short of amazing 👏
it was a ton of fun!
I miss my 4.8 rcsb seirra. Id love another one of these truck, especially with the 5 speed. but they are so crazy expensive here in canada now.
Great content Lawrence
We need an AWD burnout ! 🤘🏼

Like Your channel LT, I’m looking to build something just like this but living in the northern Indiana rust belt a rust free 4x4 truck is hard to find. I can find decent 2WD trucks. Can the GMT800 2WD be converted to 4WD/AWD
Badass build!! What’s the app to track your speed test 🔥
An Awesome video LT, Well Done.
I like the truck. But how did you gain 200 hp by changing the transfer case and front dif.? Very confusing.
Awesome vid!!! Keep the vids coming!
My favorite of your builds!
For certain hp builds I like the 60's... 2 reasons really. Less parasitic loss and weight. I have found by keeping the 60's cool (around 140-150 on a 100 degree day in TN) they live a long life... heat just kills them. Great content and I love your truck LT!
What is the brand and length of the shaping tool that you used for the cylinder head sanding? Do you also do the same for the block surfaces?
Cool video. Great summary
Just now saw your torque converter handles - I need a pair of those!!
I made em for an allison converter, but they are handy to keep in the toolbox
Great job on the truck , I like it a lot
Appreciated!
My dream truck,, clean asf
You stayed with spindles keys hangars and shackles?
I would like to rebuild my 5.3. Could someone point me in the right direction to get some good info on the proper procedures when rebuilding a 2003 5.3 engine? Any info very much appreciated.
That thing looks crazy
Dang my 99 ext Silverado stock with exhaust an a tune an 799 heads off a 2008 Tahoe does about 8.5 to 60 the ole lady’s 2006 Tahoe bone stock to the exhaust does 9s to the 60 why is the single cab slower?
Sick work shop! I love this truck I want to get rid of my '18 and get one.

I start to learn about cars and trucks 1 year ago and I wanna get some tips on how to learn more? Any suggestions?
It sounds so good
Can somebody explain (@ 2:24) how he can jack the rear of the truck up but rear bumper doesn't move an inch. Yet you see bed going up? Divorced bumper option?
That’s easy. I unbolted the bed and used a jack to raise it up to access the fuel pump.
Verg good recap video. Nicely done! Very cool truck!
Nice Job LT
Thanks!
I’m currently putting a big block in my truck. I like the stance of this 1. Can you share suspension parts list
This was Belltech 2” drop spindles, atomic fab front coilovers with another 1” drop, rear shackles and hangers (4” drop) plus Caltracs for no wheel hop
