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.
@@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
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.
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!
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
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!
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.
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 .
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.
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
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
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
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
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 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!
@@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.
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
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
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!
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.
What a great journey! I just yesterday got with my buddy LS builder with the idea of copying this, more or less. The whole thing. Even the color..haha. I'll keep ya posted. Now, Im on the prowl for a truck.... Wish I had a complete parts list.. :) Greetings from the farm in S Carolina!!
If you moved to Houston and opened a shop of doing exactly what you did to this truck you would become a millionaire. The market for upgrading these older Silverados is really big down here. And there’s only a few reputable shops that know how to do it right the first time around.
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

LT it’s been a very cool journey for this build thanks for taking us along
I had a 2006 Silverado with 4.8 and the 4l60e. With a 6" lift with 35" mud tires. Anyway that transmission held up to everything I did to it.
They have been easily built to handle over 1000 HP.

My favorite body style. Though I can’t afford to do what you have done, I enjoy watching what you’ve done here. Keep making videos. Thanks
Hey thanks for watching!
The time you have invested in this truck has been awesome! Using the 4.8l has been neat to watch!
That was actually a nice truck to start with
I like this overview / project rundown format
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 gotta say I hate side step trucks but this thing doesn’t look too bad. Plus it’s just an awesome truck!
Wow this is an amazing display of how much fun can be had! Awesome and lots of talent involved!!!
This was the truck I wanted you to build. I love the wrap and the whole look. Great job!!!!
Ah it's back! I started watching this two days ago. Then it told me it was private 😞Happy it's back
Great video as always, LT!! Keep up the outstanding work!!!

Great build with a great story. LT find me a lost truck and make it fun again. You are the man.

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
@@LawrenceTolman glad it is going good. Always awesome to see how the projects work out
Dude...that's just like a fullsize Cyclone well without the turbo V-6. Very cool, rock on.
All that work laying on your back. No lifts. DANG son!!

I think so too!
very cool truck and build.. that thing looks so dialed in
Great build and a great result.
Man this video is so awesome. In my opinion you have great video editing and quality work ethic.
24:45 Just casually bench pressing that transfer case from underneath the truck! XD
Would love to see you do a 4.3L (LV3) turbo build, like a new school GMC Syclone.
Wish I knew how to work on cars like that
Same
You just gotta try. It’s a learn as you go thing.
يا أخي أنت وحش , إستمر 👍🏻
Great video great mods great truck the orange is cool but man that black is slick
Why is this once,only once in without you.
love this build. Im trying to get a NBS single cab sierra and do a similar build. Looks great and sounds great. good job!
Thanks! its a blast for sure

Great job on the truck , I like it a lot
Appreciated!
That thing looks crazy
i saw and actually still have a picture of your truck from ls fest, one of the cleanest ones there by far!
Sick work shop! I love this truck I want to get rid of my '18 and get one.
Great content Lawrence
Love this video bud💯🤝🏻 awesome build!
Glad you like it!
Verg good recap video. Nicely done! Very cool truck!
Great video!
I totally dig this truck!
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?
