Deer urine cologne! That's hilarious! I truly love the channel Garth. You're a survivor, a great father, a great citizen, a patriot, and a heck of a mechanic with some super creative projects. There's nothing to hate on here at all. Keep up the great work.
I would not worry about the haters are always going to get them you’ve got your dedicated, loyal audience here and I’ve definitely got no complaints about your channel Your story in the beginning of this video was very heartfelt that you and your girls are doing very well. All the best and keep them videos coming.
There are a lot of us who wish the workingman could get ahead, including ourselves! The working poor can get ahead! If you are one of the people who has said this and wish you could get ahead? Just remember, this guy is one of us hard-working guys and he is not made of money and he is trying to get ahead. People we can get ahead if we work together! There are many foreign people that come to our country and people wonder why they get ahead? It’s not because the government gives them some break like people think! It’s because they come from a more oppressed area of the world and realize that they must work together to get ahead! Remember, this channel doesn’t have an unlimited budget behind it! People it Has to start somewhere! Support the working class if you are one of us! Have the courage to make things better for others and you will get it back three fold!!! Love the Channels Garth!! Congratulations on the Wedding!! Sending Love and good vibes!
Garth I am so sorry for your loss of your wife it takes a toll on all of you but you are one hell of a father and I commend you for that plus these people that send in negative messages must not be secure in their own lives you just keep doing what you’re doing and god will bless you and the family love your videos and look forward to seeing them take care my friend
Congratulations to Vivian! Glad you decided to do a series on the Avalanche, I for one know very little about the LS internal workings. Thank you. Don't worry about the negative comments, I'm sure it just goes with the RUclips life.
I had wondered where your wife was. So sorry to hear about her passing especially in such a tragic way. God bless you and your girls. You guys are awesome. Love your videos.
I'm pretty sure in a previous episode he mentioned it was Cancer that took her. Still tragic either way tho. The truck wreck was about a year after her passing if i recall correctly. He's definitley done & doing an Amazing job rasing 2 girls.
@@garthsgraveyardgarage sorry, my memory isn't what it used to be. Short term (in this video) I know you mentioned this wreck was after her passing, but now I'm wondering where I got that idea from? Was she a cancer astrologically or something that you may have mentioned?
@@garthsgraveyardgarage 😂 that may have been it. Music sucks nowadays so I listen to RUclips videos while I'm working or doing something around the house. I was curious myself but thought I had it figured out awhile ago. 🤦 this is what I get for assuming something. 🤣
I think everyone has said the same, very heartfelt beginning love the way you work, so true and just keep bringing out vids can’t wait for the next one😊❤
Congratulations to Vivian.Think of it this way you gained a son. Now put him to work. Lol And for the haters there just mad because they can’t do what you do. Keep up the great work.
This was very interesting video. Thanks for letting us follow you into this LS. Keep up the good work. You truly did luck out with all the parts that you got out of this rig.
You're doing a great job! Love the channel! Pay no attention to the negativity. There are a percentage of people in the world that aren't happy unless they are complaining and criticizing. Keep up the good work!
Haters are dumb and looking forward to seeing the change in the avalanche. Free is the best cost to get a truck. when making repairs on a new truck, you can now afford the repairs epic blessing.
Very good, I enjoy the videos, especially when you're Daughters are helping you, family is always, the most important thing, Garth you are Blessed, one day, I hope to meet you at an event ❤Love Jim J&R mobile service
I'm glad you decided to go further on the Avalanche. I'll be here for the duration for as long as it takes. Happy you're saving on the parts to help out. Keep doing what you're doing. Thanks for bringing us along.
Your projects are your projects. You can finish them or not finish them as you please. I like to watch you work. I get some great tips and tricks from your videos. Keep it up.
I need a hat like yours, it will help with inspiration when I tear into my vehicles😊. And don't listen to the negativity, people have had a free pass to be jerks for the last few years and it's getting really old.
Dangit’ man i know all about partly finished projects. We have about 5 c10 projects and a couple k20 projects on the go at any given time. Plus we are always taking care of our friends vehicles. Never mind the haters brother keep up the good work.
I lost my wife 2.5 years ago but due to Covid three days before my birthday we were married for 27 years she was my best friend. I really enjoy your content keep up the great work 👍🏿😎
Two things you want to do to all LS engines when changing a cam is to replace the cam retaining plate (the old ones tend to leak oil pressure once removed and reused) and to tighten up the timing chain cover with the harmonic balancer installed to center the cover.
Those Avalanches are cool I had an 02 with the plastic cladding Z71. The only real issues I had with mine owning it since new was obviously the transmission failed, and in the back the plastic bed covers and rear glass started to leak but we’re talking a 20 year old truck before I got rid of it.
Ya get a big thumbs up from me in the uk 👍, you where having so much fun with that engine made me wanna fly over there and give ya a hand to yank that suckered out. 😊
great responce to those that like to bash , never seen spring compresser like that i've always been a fan on the on the single wheel claw compresser keep up the great work
Your show keeps it real not every one has the money to get all the parts all at once keep it up,👍 cool about the tattoo it doesn't matter about what anyone says your a cool father ✌️☠️
See.. I knew that you would come to your senses. And pull the block out. Total respect to ya fella.👍 Wow another thumbs up upu are doing well. Maybe another by the end of the show. YAY!!
So glad you are sharing this with us! Different video for your channel, but I love it! I am an old school small block Chevy guy in need of LS info, and am glad for all that you can share. Someday, I want to drop an LS in my Iroc Z.
Look into doing the “oiling mods” while the engine is out. In addition to the oil pickup tube oring I believe there’s a dumbbell valve and some other piece that allows pressurized oil to bypass and cause the poor oil pressure the LS engines are so famous for…
Stumbled across your channel and love. Sorry to hear of the loss of your wife I'm sure that's devastating beyond words but you have two beautiful daughters. Best of luck with your channel love the content!!
What a peach! And that is about $1,200 or so worth of NICE parts. That "BFD" ( Big Foot's D#&@, Yes, that's really what they "named" it..) cam is one Texas Speed grinds on a real tight LSA so it sounds radical. You will likely need a higher than stock stall speed to be happy. If it were ME, for a daily, I'd flip it on marketplace and select a smaller grind, and keep the stock converter. Summit has some EXCELLENT grinds, such as their 8718 or 8719 Pro LS truck cams that are perfect for a daily that still return some significant power gains. Since You're pulling the motor, I'd throw a Melling M296 oil pump in while You're there. The original owner may have been planning to check the bottom end out ( likely totally unnecessary..) OR, He may have been planning to put a higher stall converter in to complement the camshaft He'd chosen.
@@garthsgraveyardgarage That's kool Garth, it's not TOO radical, it just sounds really rowdy. It will DEFINITELY make it run a LOT stronger than stock. It's just a bit soft down low, ( stall fixes that ), and won't really like to tow at all beyond a 2k-ish lb trailer. It will however be a lot of fun, and smoke the tires like a funny car with a solid tune and that stall, enjoy. Good series BTW.
Oh, I almost forgot. I noticed while You were cleaning the heads that those are 706 castings. Look under where the rocker support rails bolt down, and see if there is an icon that looks like a car battery cast into them. IF there is, those are the CASTEK heads, and have been known to crack under where the head bolts seat. IF they are said heads, it would be wise to have them peessure tested, or at least give them a VERY through visual inspection for cracks. It seems if about every 15-20th or so set I deal with aee cracked. Just so You're aware if You didn't know.
Critics tell you how you depart from perfection. They carry no implication that you are below average unless they say so. Many exceptionally talented and capable people remain subject to criticism. The bigger wrenching channels are incapable of reading and responding to all their comments and criticisms, which gives the small channels a major advantage and attraction as long as they can respond.
great video as always it was good to see the muppet too, love to see ls builds keep up the good work dude ignore the haters love to see a little of vgg influence in the video lol
The deer urine bit made me laugh out loud!! I subscribed on your very 1st video, I love where you've come from & look forward 2 see where your going! There will always b idiots in this world that can only ever b negative, but dinnae worry about them, karma will giv them everything they deserve. Stay positive, stay focused on wat u wanna achieve. God luck with the upcoming wedding, much love from Scotland UK.
The Avalanche is growing on me over the years...I used to hate them...but now I maybe love them... 😁

@garthsgraveyardgarage and I just saw the part where you did the Zombug parts "in China" impression. I'm still laughing 😂...that was bang on!

Plus you always acknowledge comments
I do my best! The notification system on here is kind of wonky, so sometimes a few slip through the cracks.
Pulling the engine was a good idea... makes life easier in the end!
Congratulations to Vivian!
Thank you!!
Sorry for your loss
Sorry for your lose your doing great work fun to watch
Congratulations to Vivian! Glad you decided to do a series on the Avalanche, I for one know very little about the LS internal workings. Thank you.
Don't worry about the negative comments, I'm sure it just goes with the RUclips life.
Thank you!!🎉
Oh... congratulations on your daughter's upcoming wedding!
Thank you!!
Woo-hoo congratulations Vivian. My birthday is somewhere between the 8th and 10th
Thank you!!
Loving this build, something I have never seen on a newer engine.
Haters will always hate, must be something in their life that isn't going well. I thank God for giving me every morning for another day to enjoy.
She will run. Looking forward to the next one.
Keep up the good work my friend, I enjoy watching you work. Glad to see that the Ice Man is back and working with you again
14.9k of us, think you are doing a great job. For me, I like the variety.
Our audience members like you, we love and appreciate so much!

No, never mentioned her having cancer. We lost her to a bad car accident in 2017. The truck accident happened to me a little while after that.
@@garthsgraveyardgarage sorry, my memory isn't what it used to be. Short term (in this video) I know you mentioned this wreck was after her passing, but now I'm wondering where I got that idea from? Was she a cancer astrologically or something that you may have mentioned?
No, my usual mention of cancer is typically the vehicles we rescue on here.
@@garthsgraveyardgarage 😂 that may have been it. Music sucks nowadays so I listen to RUclips videos while I'm working or doing something around the house. I was curious myself but thought I had it figured out awhile ago. 🤦 this is what I get for assuming something. 🤣
Good morning love your videos and god bless you and your family
Good morning and thank you!
I think everyone has said the same, very heartfelt beginning love the way you work, so true and just keep bringing out vids can’t wait for the next one😊❤
Removing the engine was indeed a good idea.
Please keep the videos coming... : )
I love it when the Muppet shows up she's so adorable
Congratulations to Vivian.Think of it this way you gained a son. Now put him to work. Lol And for the haters there just mad because they can’t do what you do. Keep up the great work.

Well done, thank you.
I lost my wife 2.5 years ago but due to Covid three days before my birthday we were married for 27 years she was my best friend. I really enjoy your content keep up the great work 👍🏿😎

I am sorry for your loss 🙏
You do amazing work on your vehicles. God bless you and your family. Also love your daughter's shirt
Quality workmanship dude.
Always respect a mechanic that keeps stuff nice and tidy.
I ain't a mechanic but I still keep stuff tidy. Fair play.
Good job perfect make sure engine quality brand new running smoothly effects ❤👌
Awesome Job!!!!
"He's alright"..........😂
Well good riddance to bad rubbish [ haters }
Excellent content glad we can see you put this back together looking forward to the next one 👍
enjoyed how things go together. cool seeing that broken stud removal trick.
Those Avalanches are cool I had an 02 with the plastic cladding Z71. The only real issues I had with mine owning it since new was obviously the transmission failed, and in the back the plastic bed covers and rear glass started to leak but we’re talking a 20 year old truck before I got rid of it.
God has better plans for you
Looking good, can't wait to see part 2. Keep on keeping on
We put motor mounts on one of those , what a pain
Ya get a big thumbs up from me in the uk 👍, you where having so much fun with that engine made me wanna fly over there and give ya a hand to yank that suckered out. 😊
Central California watching
great responce to those that like to bash , never seen spring compresser like that i've always been a fan on the on the single wheel claw compresser keep up the great work
Your show keeps it real not every one has the money to get all the parts all at once keep it up,👍 cool about the tattoo it doesn't matter about what anyone says your a cool father ✌️☠️
See.. I knew that you would come to your senses. And pull the block out.
Total respect to ya fella.👍
Wow another thumbs up upu are doing well. Maybe another by the end of the show. YAY!!
The heck with the haters. I like the videos! Keep them coming the way you want!!!! Why do people have to be that way?
Some people just thrive on being ugly, because that's what they are.
Not broke don't fix. But. Preventive maintenance always helps. Don't over spend or work
It's amazing how much trash people who don't, throw at people who do...Good video
Yes I'm late commenting. Window is slim to watch when I want.
Happy to see you pull the engine. It's no fun leaning over the fenders if you don't have to, and it makes for a better job.
When you said "we're gonna go ahead and pull the engine" I was like "YES".
So sorry for your loss thoughts and prayers my friend 😢
It’s coming along nicely 👍👍
Great video. Awesome breakdown!
So glad you are sharing this with us! Different video for your channel, but I love it! I am an old school small block Chevy guy in need of LS info, and am glad for all that you can share. Someday, I want to drop an LS in my Iroc Z.
Congrats Vivian! And to hell with the haters! Keep on keepin on Garth you’re doing great with the channel! 🤘
Thanks so much!!
Thank you!!!
Well, if you were a deer, that stuff is like, “Hai Karate,” to them, lol!
Thanks!
Very appreciated, sir! ❤️
That motor is going to sound good 👍
Look into doing the “oiling mods” while the engine is out. In addition to the oil pickup tube oring I believe there’s a dumbbell valve and some other piece that allows pressurized oil to bypass and cause the poor oil pressure the LS engines are so famous for…
Garth I've seen all your videos up-to-date I to work on cars keep up the good work I wish you and your girls the best
Appreciate it!
Keep up the great work. I'll be looking for the next part of this series.
I think you do just great and I really enjoy watching your videos so I wouldn't worry about what they say
You got very far along! Great job so far. Keep up the great work.
👍
Another awesome video you will have a good running truck for cheap once it’s done keep up the great content

I actually just order a 3200 to 3500 racing stall converter to throw in it as it was listed as required for that cam setup 😁

Watching you going through the stash of parts, I am cringing and chuckling.
The internet is a cesspool. Please use the block feature and use it with pleasure. You have a great channel and are doing a good job.

You are right about the negative scumbags who have to make their useless comments

Nice progress for what it is.
great video as always it was good to see the muppet too, love to see ls builds keep up the good work dude ignore the haters love to see a little of vgg influence in the video lol
Man there is a ton of stuff in there 😂
It's like a clown truck!
You can also drill a shallow hole in the bolt and pound a torx bit into it and then back it out. Hasn't failed me yet 👍

Josh from Sleeper dudes say wrong auto🤣
Don’t you just love it when people just buy any cam without knowing if it’s going to work with the current setup, CR, etc….
I'm not complaining in this case 😁
