Good morning, I just stumbled across your videos. I have just encountered the spun rod bearing failure, except mine is on #4 rod. I would be intersted to learn more about your engine rebuild services and or engine swap program. So far I am enjoying your vidoes and have subscribed to the channel. Thank you for taking the time to teach all something new about our beloved colorado's.
I'd be interested in the possibility of a swap service. I have an '05 Colorado with an i5. Bought it off a used lot, drove it for a couple months before the engine started making some noise and had to negotiate with them to get a usable engine swapped in... Pretty sure it was a junkyard swap or had been sitting on a pallet behind someone's shop for a couple years. Ever since I've had the idea for another swap in the back of my mind. For various reasons, I haven't wanted to pick a local rando' on the 'can you (generic) LS swap qualification' and wouldn't hate to have an option with more specific knowledge...
This info was extremely helpfull when I dropped in a new motor into my 2008 Hummer H3 - So thank you very much for this video..!!!! Is there any way you can share what the transmission differences between Hummer H3 and Chevy Colorado - I would really like to know if they can be swapped out between each other???? Looking forward to your answer!!
I have a 2006 Hummer H3 3.5l and am needing a new motor. Correct me if I’m wrong but will the 2007 3.7l swap directly with no major modifications or would you just recommend dropping another 3.5l Thanks for providing helpful videos!!
@@terryvaughn677 I talk though what im doing to mine throughout the build vlogs. Unfortunately there's so many ways you can do it there's really no one best way.
Man i wish i would've saw your videos a couple years ago have a 07 h3 couldn't find a engine had to go with jasper took them 7 engines and a year at the dealer to get it back
It’s a great idea ! I’ve been looking at long blocks and there are none that’s inspire any confidence in me! My motor 05 3.5 115k has developed an intermittent metallic peck that sounds identical to an old small block with lifter tick. I would LOVE to have an ls but I’m on a fixed income and likely couldn’t swing the cost. I’d be needing to keep costs down but still get an ultra reliable motor. When you go through them do you fix any known issues to head off future problem? Are there any power boosters that can be done on the 3.5 during a swap? Thanks dude loving the content.
Jasper is ok but their price is higher than mine and they don't include oil pan or valve cover. So if your oil pump got taken out by the metal in the system then you now have to buy an oil pump on top of the motor.

My 06 Colorado 3.5 i5 went out two weeks ago via the timing chain/cam. I don't know crap about engines and am struggling to find parts and replacements. Are there any other motors that will go into that truck straight up without too many conversions to adapt it? As much as I'd like to get a new truck my finances are pretty limited. I'd drop just about anything in it if it would get me another 2-3+ years for 3-4 grand. Doubt you'll see this comment but I figured I try since you're the first I've found that actually seems to know wtf they are doing with this truck.
You can swap any 04-07 motor and it'll drop in so long as it has the intake cam sensor. Or you if you can find an 08-12 all you need is the exhaust cam reluctor and add a intake cam sensor where it belongs.
i like your engine swap idea and i could and would use a service like that. Ive a messed up 3.7 2010 Canyon and need to figure out what i wanna do...rebuild, replace(swap)?. i saw your you tube video and gave hope on it. right now im getting ready break it down to see what the damage is but id rather take it out and swap it for a working unit. what say you?
Hello, My dad has had his 2006 H3 since 2009 and it needed an engine he went with Jasper and after 3 engines Jasper gave up and sent him a refund. My dad had enough and gave me the H3 as he didn't want to deal with it anymore. Will be dropping it off with the garage I use to find out exactly what the issue is. He doesn't do rebuilds so depending on the issue might need a rebuild or swap and just wondering if you are still building engines for people and how that process works. TIA
that's probably the smartest option, finding an 07 engine that's worth the money isn't an easy task but there are so many of the newer years for a lot less@@BadlandIndustries
Ok here something to about about ...although I do love my lil 3.5l I really am getting tired of all the computer bs ...that's why I'm thinking about going old school. 262ic with a 700r4 will/do you think it'll just drop in or will the motor mounts have to be redone .....what Really would be involved?
Hello, I have an 07 Colorado that runs good but I would like to have it rebuilt. Do you provide this service? where are you located and how much would it cost? I believe mine is leaking a little oil that is why I would like to have it rebuilt.
How about a ls harness to run cluster and also ac, cruise, and transfer case if equipped? They could send there harnesses . I know others have them but very expensive. Your very reasonable with your rates.
I have a 2006 canyon fin 75% sure the timing chain is stretched so I’m going to wait till in fails the swap in a a 5, or 6 cylinder I like it to be as direct and plug and play as possible and recommendations or tips ?
I have a 2010 Canyon with a 2.9L i4. Just hit 100k kms on it and I’ve been wanting to put a 5.3L V8 in it, but hell if I can find one with 100k or less kms. Any tips on sourcing?
Dunno if car-part.com has yards in your neck of the woods. Or just know what you're looking for and get lucky at the junk yard. I do have a 5.3 out of a hummer h3 with harness and pcm, 100k miles. I can ship anywhere.
I have a 2011 Canyon with a 3.7l that I believe jumped the timing chain (no compression) I can't find a reasonably priced replacement here in Canada. Wreckers want over $4000 for motors with 200,000 km. What would I need to do to drop a 2008-2012 3.5 in it. they seem to be more readily available. Would I need to do anything to the computer or control modules?
A question I’ve had is is it possible to to a bolt on 4wd conversion on an 08 Colorado with a 2wd non torsion bar suspension. I can source all the parts from junkyards but didn’t know if it was possible. Also it’s a 2.9L with the 4L60E so I can trim down the output shaft to fit the transfer case and I have the frame and oil pan clearance too. Also can you even fit a torsion bar setup in place of the old transmission cross member?
depends how proficient you are with a grinder and a welder. certainly faster and easier to go buy a 4x4 and sell the truck you have. might even get a 5cyl in the swap
How different are the 2.8L engines from the 2.9's? I can see some obvious differences like the valve cover being different... But is there a way to make the 2.8 engine work in the 2.9?
All this is great to know. I’ll be doing something to my 04 Canyon before tong. What I’m really needing to know right now is transmissions. Guy put a 4L80 in mine and didn’t tell me until the 90 day ran out. Now I’m having problems So can we get a transmission video. I’m primarily worried that he rigged it to work.
So you have a non working 4l80? It's been done but it is not something I plan on doing to any of my trucks. However, I will be doing a 6l80 in the badlander.
@@BadlandIndustries it kinda works. The 1st problem I had was it jumping out of overdrive or not going into it. I changed the fluid and began to have problems with it pulling off and shifting into 3rd way too soon. I was told to replace the speed sensor on the transfer case and that solved it for about a day. If I clear the codes, and there are various ones with very little consistency, as soon as it 100% cleared it runs perfect for about 2 minutes Then right back to the problem. Any help would be appreciated. I’ve been watching your videos and you seem the be “The Man” for Canyons and. Colorados. Thank you sir.
@@BadlandIndustries I’m not sure about any tuning but I can say it operated just fine, for the first few months I had it back. I noticed a whine one night and had to put 2 quarts of fluid in it. I checked it when I first got it back and the level was where it was supposed to be. I haven’t seen any spots on the driveway or anything but it went somewhere. Level seems to be holding for now. I was wondering if it was really necessary to replace all four speed sensors at once.
I’m very interested in your engine swap service I have an 04 with a 3.5 that is running horrible my father gave me it w 120k it had the trans rebuilt about 2k ago. I also have an 07 3.7 with the trans transfer case and front diff missing the intake/exhaust manifold I need to decide what to do and proceed asap this truck would be handy as a spare vehicle.
I have a 06 H 3 3.5 I want to either put a 3.7 which I already have a 3.7 head that's rebuilt due to me ordering one and they sent the wrong and wouldn't take it back. Or I want to put a 5.3 in it. Do you have any info on this swap. I know a little, but want more knowledge of this swap. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thank you
I haven't one a v8 swap just yet. There's alot to know and very specific components to make it all work. The right 3.7 can be dropped in with little more than a tune to make it run 100%.
Hello, I recently purchased a 2007 hummer. Problem I have it only starts on the second crank. So I crank it turn off ignition and starts the second time every time. Come to find out it does have a newer Colorado 3.7. I look at the cam positioning sensor port and I can tell it’s been drilled in. I have seen in other video if that hole has not been drilled in the correct spot it could cause this problem. Any ideas? Not sure if the sprocket has been changed out.
You aren't addressing the fuel return/supply difference between the 3.5 & 3.7. Also, the block, head, intake, and exhaust are different too. The fuel difference is the '04-'05 2.7 & 3.5 have fuel return to tank and the '06 has the later model regulated fuel pressure system. The '07 up 2.8 & 3.7 are all similar. It is easy to use the '06 engines in the '04 & '05 trucks by using the existing fuel system parts. Also easier to use the larger '07 & up engines in an '06 because of the fuel system parts. My '04 Canyon 3.5 5-speed is still running great at about 190,000 miles and I get 22-31 MPG depending on load & speed.
You can install the new motor and bolt up your existing fuel system, intake manifold, exhaust manifold and all that jazz and it'll run 100% fine. No you do not need to change any of these when upgrading the motor. You will however benefit from a tune.
I can build you a 3.7l out of a 2012 and have it drop into your 04 and will run on the first crank and you only have to swap the valve cover to the oil pan. Everything else on your truck will bolt up and run perfectly first try.
@@BadlandIndustries I did a valve job & replaced everything except the PS pump about 20,000 miles ago. It runs perfect & will last longer than I will. For fun my daily driver is an old Civic hatch w/K24. If I want to hotrod something it will be the Civic. The trucks primary job is to tow my fishing boat ant it does that perfectly as is.
I have a 08 2.9 4 cyclender and i want a 6 or 8 cyclender but i dont know if there's any compatable or if frame can handle a 8 i want more power in the truck and to lower it and convert the drums to disch and try to change the leaf springs to shocks or something btw its a crew cab i want to make it a nice truck but right now its a project truck that struggles to pull its own weight
Clearly define what you want to do with the truck and do it once. The frames will be able to handle the hp of a v8. Several rear disc options. Sounds like you have quite the project on your hands.
@@BadlandIndustries I just want a good everyday driver V8 truck that can actually go up hills easy and can fit, and that can also tow. What engines can fit this comfortably ?
Hello, is the "camshaft phaser in your list the same as the one from the old engine? so i use the exaustcampositionsensor and the cam phaser from the old engine(3500) in the new one (3700)? or is it a totally different one
The head design is different. The 2007 cam reluctor is 5x just like the 04-06 but different for the head design. The 08+ is 4x and also had different reluctor design at the 3.5/3.7 split
That's what this whole video was about. The 07 and newer have the same head design. However the 07 had an intake cam sensor and 5x reluctor. 08-12 had 4x and no intake cam sensor.
355 swap sage, if I have a 07 3.7 swapped into an 08 ECU and harness- do I need to replace the 07 exhaust sprocket with the 08? Or can I just swap my exhaust sensors ?
I have '06 canyon 3.5 l5 2wd off-road edition transmission finally died. Ive had 3.7 l5 motor with 4wd trans and all front end parts not sure year. Question 1. How to determine year? 2. Steps, advice, and parts list to convert motor and 4wd? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Quick inspection would be aluminum valve cover and whether or not you have an intake cam sensor. If you have both it'll drop in place of your 3.5l. If you don't see the intake cam sensor you will have to add it along with the exhaust gear from an 07. Also be mindful of the oil pan shape. The 2wd and 4x4 were different.
@@BadlandIndustries is it possible to convert 2wd to 4wd? My 2006 has keys and I have the entire front 4wd powertrain around 3.7 out to hubs. I just got bad lands lift 3" f 3" r kit.
My auto transmission was having issues shifting into 2nd until warmed up, then jumped in and no gear would pull and doesn't make any sounds shifting through all gears P R D 2 1? Trying to get through this cheap as possible
@@BadlandIndustries well I got a 2009 canyon 3.7 4wd automatic transmission 134k miles I'd trade for a 2006 canyon 3.5 2wd automatic transmission. If you know anyone.
I have a question. The transmission went out on my 07 with the 3.7 and I have found a low miles transmission from a 04 with the 3.5. Are they the same? I’m having trouble finding any info on it. They are 4wd trucks if it makes any difference.
Have a question I have 08 hummer H3 engine that I’m trying to put in my 06 hummer H3 it’s the 3.5 do I have to change the inside harness and steering column?
So say i have an envoy 02 and a canyon 03. Envoy has 4.2 i6 canyon has 2.9 i4. Can i take the i4 and put it in the envoy? The 4.2 had main bearings go out and the 2.9 was wrecked.
Hello, I have an 07 Colorado with 180k miles on it, inline 4 2.9, do you think it would be possible to swap a inline 6 4.2 from 04-07 into it? will there be enough space?
I have an 06 canyon, blew motor up, took motor out of an 08, but having issues. took computer off an 07 but still didn't run right. what do I need to do?
Watch the video again. It's actually really simple. You need the exhaust cam sprocket and the intake cam sensor. You don't need the computer, harness or anything else.
Any idea about the 4cyl compatibility? 2.8 is junk in my 06 Canyon. I’ve found two used 2007 2.9s used. Can’t find much online if the 2.9 is a direct swap or if I need the pcm.
I have a 2009 colorado with the 3.7 L in it. I had the engine rebuilt once before and the crankshaft is what broke. The mechanic had it welded back together because he could not find a new crank to replace it with well about a year and a half ago it broke at the weld and has been sitting in the mechanics shop because he was not able to find a replacement crank. My question is since the 3.7 L engine is no longer an engine that is being supported for replacement parts. Can I swap my engine with the larger V8 engine that was offered in this vehicle from the factory without having alot of computer and wiring changes. I guess what I am asking is it a huge headache to change my engine out for a V8 or would it be easier to buy a used engine off Ebay that is a 3.7 with 80K miles on it.
@BadlandIndustries. it's not that bad if you have mechanical knowledge.. transmission input shaft needs changed different torque converter or couple places sell install kits now .. 2005 3.5 to 6.0. 2008 3.7 to 6.2
i have my canyon 2011 with a 2.9L and 234 000, i don't know if at some point i'll have to change the engine completely if something happens or i should just try to fix it? i'd like to make some changes to it but i'm not sure what to do exactly
I have a 2011 3.7 with a bad engine. I purchased a parts truck that’s a 2007 with a 3.7. Is the exhaust came reluctor the only modification needed to put the 07 motor in my 11?
Pretty much. Youll leave the intake cam sensor in the head but it wont connect to anything. You could install your 11 head into your 07 block but that'd a bunch of work.
I found a salvage yard that says they have a 2007 Colorado and 2007 Isuzu i290 both say they have the 2.9L is that correct and will it be a direct swap?
I have an 04 3.5L rwd with 197k. I bought it new. I started getting a low oil pressure light when I come to a stop with 6qt of mobile 1 5w-30 after warmed up. I have changed the sensor with no effect. I now run 3qt of 30wt and 3 qt of 40wt to not get the warning. Is there anything else i can check?
@@BadlandIndustries ok. Thanks. It started doing this 20k miles ago after I tried the shell truck oil with the higher moly. I think it started a new break in cycle. Will an oil test pick up the wear material? I guess I better fix the 91 trooper head gasket so, I can have a backup vehicle. What are your 3.5L rebuilds running?
Could this be related to a resonance frequency vibration I get every time I reach 1550 rpm while driving? It sounds like a loose heat shield or something on my exhaust system. It won't do it while parked.
If you motor swap within the guidelines I outlined in this video you won't need to tune. If you swap pcm's you will absolutely need a tune so the body computer will have ptoper communication.
Are you aware of anyone ever doing a max N/A type build with these motors? I.E: overbore/high compression pistons, max porting and polishing of the heads, cams, or a combination of or all of the previous? Curious what kind of power can be squeezed out of these without forced induction. I know it wouldn’t be cheap, but I find it way more interesting than just “tHrOw An Ls In ThErE”…
The 5cyl is limited in its ability to maintain oil to all the bearings. That said there is one over bore I know of but I think he still had stock compression. The 4.2 i6 seems to be quite promising.
@@BadlandIndustries Didn’t realize there were any issues with the engine beyond the initial 3.5 engines… have a 3700 with over 200k on it, no issues, although seem to either be burning or losing a bit of oil each oil change. Are there any fixes or mods that can be made to the engine to fix that issue you mention?
@BadlandIndustries nothing is wrong with either head. My nephew swapped a 3.7L into a 3.5L truck without realizing the difference. Then he junked to donor truck along with wiring harness and ecm. Now he is trying to figure out how to get it to run.
@TonyMitchell-f8w you need to match the reluctor count and the cam sensors. You likely need the 5x reluctor from an 07 and the intake cam sensor the 3.5 expected.
I got a 2008 Canyon in a trade deal for my old Jeep. The previous owner swapped in a 3.5 from a 3.7 that blew up on him. How does this swap work! It’s been crazy trying to find any info on how this is done. Anyone want to trade a 3.5 for a 3.7? Lol
What's an LS cost? I think between my shop and the one next door I can handle the labor. I got an 05 i5 with high milage. I've replaced my carrier bearing twice and my trans mount but I still get a clunk with quick acceleration. Will that whole ass end need to be upgraded to compensate for an LS? Also very interested in the engine swap as an alternative
@@BadlandIndustries I can see why the LS swap is more appealing. You’re getting way more power for less money, but having a TDi with a mild tune getting 30+ mpg while having enough torque to plow and tow is tempting. There’s gotta be a manual transmission out there that will bolt up to the VW and allow you to keep 4wd.
I think a GM 2.8DuraMAx would be the ultimate! These motors are used overseas in the Colorado badged as an Isuzu and common in Thailand, Malasia, Austraila
I like my little 5 cyl. 200,000 miles and it is still smooth and leak free. 22 mpg on the highway on 31” tires isn’t too bad. that being said- the atlas 6 cyl would be pretty awesome. More power with inline reliability and the opportunity for good mpg sounds great.

my i5 has low compression. I'm very likely trading in for a newer vehicle but am wondering what it would take to swap with a more powerful V6.
More time than it's worth to research. Ls swap, done.
I have a 4.3 liter vortex engine in my 94 Chevy Cheyenne I would like to have my fuel injectors and carburetor exchange for something much better.
Hello, My dad has had his 2006 H3 since 2009 and it needed an engine he went with Jasper and after 3 engines Jasper gave up and sent him a refund. My dad had enough and gave me the H3 as he didn't want to deal with it anymore. Will be dropping it off with the garage I use to find out exactly what the issue is. He doesn't do rebuilds so depending on the issue might need a rebuild or swap and just wondering if you are still building engines for people and how that process works. TIA
We got you covered!
@@BadlandIndustries awesome! Will see what the issue is 4-15 and might be reaching out soon after!
i'm in the process of pulling the engine out of my 07 H3, i'm hoping it's just a rebuild, finding a decen't replacement for this year is such a pain
Since you already have the parts you need on your 07 you can track down the 08-12 and swap the parts and add the sensor port.
that's probably the smartest option, finding an 07 engine that's worth the money isn't an easy task but there are so many of the newer years for a lot less@@BadlandIndustries
Ok here something to about about ...although I do love my lil 3.5l I really am getting tired of all the computer bs ...that's why I'm thinking about going old school. 262ic with a 700r4 will/do you think it'll just drop in or will the motor mounts have to be redone .....what Really would be involved?
The computer actually helps make the newer motors run more efficiently and more powerfully. What issues are you having that are swaying you that way?
Hello, I have an 07 Colorado that runs good but I would like to have it rebuilt. Do you provide this service? where are you located and how much would it cost? I believe mine is leaking a little oil that is why I would like to have it rebuilt.
We are in Reno, Nevada. I can ship a rebuilt motor to you anywhere in the country.
Swap service!!! I need help!! Would like to go 6 cyl in my 05' Canyon (currently has 3.5 I5), but wouldn't mind having the best version of the 3.7 I5
We are still working out the kinks of putting a six cylinder 4.2 in the colorado's
How about a ls harness to run cluster and also ac, cruise, and transfer case if equipped? They could send there harnesses . I know others have them but very expensive. Your very reasonable with your rates.
This video was specific to the 4 and 5cyl swaps. I'll have another video talking through the v8 swap options.
@@BadlandIndustries can't wait!!! I'm working on getting 3.5 out now.
I have a 2006 canyon fin 75% sure the timing chain is stretched so I’m going to wait till in fails the swap in a a 5, or 6 cylinder I like it to be as direct and plug and play as possible and recommendations or tips ?
Cheaper right now to pull the motor and install new bearings and timing kit.
i have a 2007 colorado with a blown 3.7 what other engines will fit with the least modifications and costs
That was the purpose of this video. Your 07 is unique but a 08-12 can be converted rather easily to work.
I have a 2010 Canyon with a 2.9L i4. Just hit 100k kms on it and I’ve been wanting to put a 5.3L V8 in it, but hell if I can find one with 100k or less kms. Any tips on sourcing?
Dunno if car-part.com has yards in your neck of the woods. Or just know what you're looking for and get lucky at the junk yard. I do have a 5.3 out of a hummer h3 with harness and pcm, 100k miles. I can ship anywhere.
I have a 2011 Canyon with a 3.7l that I believe jumped the timing chain (no compression) I can't find a reasonably priced replacement here in Canada. Wreckers want over $4000 for motors with 200,000 km. What would I need to do to drop a 2008-2012 3.5 in it. they seem to be more readily available. Would I need to do anything to the computer or control modules?
08-12 all came 3.7l. any of those years will drop in. honestly i would consider rebuilding the motor instead of replacing.
A question I’ve had is is it possible to to a bolt on 4wd conversion on an 08 Colorado with a 2wd non torsion bar suspension. I can source all the parts from junkyards but didn’t know if it was possible. Also it’s a 2.9L with the 4L60E so I can trim down the output shaft to fit the transfer case and I have the frame and oil pan clearance too. Also can you even fit a torsion bar setup in place of the old transmission cross member?
depends how proficient you are with a grinder and a welder. certainly faster and easier to go buy a 4x4 and sell the truck you have. might even get a 5cyl in the swap
How different are the 2.8L engines from the 2.9's? I can see some obvious differences like the valve cover being different... But is there a way to make the 2.8 engine work in the 2.9?
You have a 2.9? For the money I don't think it's worth it
All this is great to know. I’ll be doing something to my 04 Canyon before tong. What I’m really needing to know right now is transmissions. Guy put a 4L80 in mine and didn’t tell me until the 90 day ran out. Now I’m having problems So can we get a transmission video. I’m primarily worried that he rigged it to work.
So you have a non working 4l80? It's been done but it is not something I plan on doing to any of my trucks. However, I will be doing a 6l80 in the badlander.
@@BadlandIndustries it kinda works. The 1st problem I had was it jumping out of overdrive or not going into it. I changed the fluid and began to have problems with it pulling off and shifting into 3rd way too soon. I was told to replace the speed sensor on the transfer case and that solved it for about a day. If I clear the codes, and there are various ones with very little consistency, as soon as it 100% cleared it runs perfect for about 2 minutes Then right back to the problem. Any help would be appreciated. I’ve been watching your videos and you seem the be “The Man” for Canyons and. Colorados. Thank you sir.
@@davidpender60 I'd be curious if the new transmission was tuned or was it simply swapped.
@@BadlandIndustries I’m not sure about any tuning but I can say it operated just fine, for the first few months I had it back. I noticed a whine one night and had to put 2 quarts of fluid in it. I checked it when I first got it back and the level was where it was supposed to be. I haven’t seen any spots on the driveway or anything but it went somewhere. Level seems to be holding for now. I was wondering if it was really necessary to replace all four speed sensors at once.
@@davidpender60 dunno buddy. I'm not very familiar with transmissions.
What are you looking at for rebuild? 3.5 L inline 5 on a 2005 Colorado...Money wise??
Pricing starts at $3700
I’m very interested in your engine swap service I have an 04 with a 3.5 that is running horrible my father gave me it w 120k it had the trans rebuilt about 2k ago. I also have an 07 3.7 with the trans transfer case and front diff missing the intake/exhaust manifold I need to decide what to do and proceed asap this truck would be handy as a spare vehicle.
Install the 07. It'll drop in and run. Just get it tuned. Make sure it has both cam sensors.
I have a 06 H 3 3.5 I want to either put a 3.7 which I already have a 3.7 head that's rebuilt due to me ordering one and they sent the wrong and wouldn't take it back. Or I want to put a 5.3 in it. Do you have any info on this swap. I know a little, but want more knowledge of this swap. Any info is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
I haven't one a v8 swap just yet. There's alot to know and very specific components to make it all work. The right 3.7 can be dropped in with little more than a tune to make it run 100%.
Is the engine cradle wider to accomidate the v-8 engines offered in 2009-2012 models ?
The frame didn't change. The motor mounts did however. These simply adapt the stock i4 or i5 towers to the v8.
Hi...can you suggest a good petrol 2000 cc engine for my Hummer H3
The stock motors were 3.5 or 3.7 liters
Hello, I recently purchased a 2007 hummer. Problem I have it only starts on the second crank. So I crank it turn off ignition and starts the second time every time.
Come to find out it does have a newer Colorado 3.7. I look at the cam positioning sensor port and I can tell it’s been drilled in. I have seen in other video if that hole has not been drilled in the correct spot it could cause this problem. Any ideas? Not sure if the sprocket has been changed out.
Your 07 is likely the late half year. Do you have 2 computers near the coolant bottles on the firewall?
Sent some pics on your Facebook page messenger
You aren't addressing the fuel return/supply difference between the 3.5 & 3.7. Also, the block, head, intake, and exhaust are different too. The fuel difference is the '04-'05 2.7 & 3.5 have fuel return to tank and the '06 has the later model regulated fuel pressure system. The '07 up 2.8 & 3.7 are all similar. It is easy to use the '06 engines in the '04 & '05 trucks by using the existing fuel system parts. Also easier to use the larger '07 & up engines in an '06 because of the fuel system parts. My '04 Canyon 3.5 5-speed is still running great at about 190,000 miles and I get 22-31 MPG depending on load & speed.
You can install the new motor and bolt up your existing fuel system, intake manifold, exhaust manifold and all that jazz and it'll run 100% fine. No you do not need to change any of these when upgrading the motor. You will however benefit from a tune.
I can build you a 3.7l out of a 2012 and have it drop into your 04 and will run on the first crank and you only have to swap the valve cover to the oil pan. Everything else on your truck will bolt up and run perfectly first try.
@@BadlandIndustries I did a valve job & replaced everything except the PS pump about 20,000 miles ago. It runs perfect & will last longer than I will. For fun my daily driver is an old Civic hatch w/K24. If I want to hotrod something it will be the Civic. The trucks primary job is to tow my fishing boat ant it does that perfectly as is.
@goldcountryruss7035 keep oil in it. The balance shaft bearings are the Achilles heel of this motor. Once they go, the cyl 5 con rod leaves the chat.
My 2011 i5 just blew up. Rolled it over to 101k miles and dead. Not sure if I'm gonna rebuild it or swap it.

Clearly define what you want to do with the truck and do it once. The frames will be able to handle the hp of a v8. Several rear disc options. Sounds like you have quite the project on your hands.
@@BadlandIndustries I just want a good everyday driver V8 truck that can actually go up hills easy and can fit, and that can also tow. What engines can fit this comfortably ?

Hello, is the "camshaft phaser in your list the same as the one from the old engine? so i use the exaustcampositionsensor and the cam phaser from the old engine(3500) in the new one (3700)? or is it a totally different one
The head design is different. The 2007 cam reluctor is 5x just like the 04-06 but different for the head design. The 08+ is 4x and also had different reluctor design at the 3.5/3.7 split
so if i happen to have a 3.5 liter and my 2008 3.7 is blown I could just remove the head from the 3.7 and it should be plug and play.
I haven't seen definitive proof that it's possible. It would be better that you rebuild the 08 with the 05 crank and re-bearing the motor
@@BadlandIndustries thanks i would love that option but my 3.7 has a hole in the side of the block..
does the pcm interrogate the cam censors one at a time, is so can you wire both cam sensor wire to one cam cosset and satisfy the pcm?
No, they have different pulse counts. If you computer expects 2 cam sensors you can't have only one present.
Thanks!
Hi. What need to be changed to use 07 3.7 in 08 truck with 3.7?
That's what this whole video was about. The 07 and newer have the same head design. However the 07 had an intake cam sensor and 5x reluctor. 08-12 had 4x and no intake cam sensor.
355 swap sage, if I have a 07 3.7 swapped into an 08 ECU and harness- do I need to replace the 07 exhaust sprocket with the 08? Or can I just swap my exhaust sensors ?
You need the amount of pulses ans sensors your pcm expects. You'll need the 4x exhaust sprocket from 08-12.

I have '06 canyon 3.5 l5 2wd off-road edition transmission finally died. Ive had 3.7 l5 motor with 4wd trans and all front end parts not sure year. Question 1. How to determine year? 2. Steps, advice, and parts list to convert motor and 4wd? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Quick inspection would be aluminum valve cover and whether or not you have an intake cam sensor. If you have both it'll drop in place of your 3.5l. If you don't see the intake cam sensor you will have to add it along with the exhaust gear from an 07. Also be mindful of the oil pan shape. The 2wd and 4x4 were different.

Have a question I have 08 hummer H3 engine that I’m trying to put in my 06 hummer H3 it’s the 3.5 do I have to change the inside harness and steering column?

Hello, I have an 07 Colorado with 180k miles on it, inline 4 2.9, do you think it would be possible to swap a inline 6 4.2 from 04-07 into it? will there be enough space?

I have an 06 canyon, blew motor up, took motor out of an 08, but having issues.
took computer off an 07 but still didn't run right.
what do I need to do?
Watch the video again. It's actually really simple. You need the exhaust cam sprocket and the intake cam sensor. You don't need the computer, harness or anything else.

@@BadlandIndustries Appreciate it!
I have a 2009 colorado with the 3.7 L in it. I had the engine rebuilt once before and the crankshaft is what broke. The mechanic had it welded back together because he could not find a new crank to replace it with well about a year and a half ago it broke at the weld and has been sitting in the mechanics shop because he was not able to find a replacement crank. My question is since the 3.7 L engine is no longer an engine that is being supported for replacement parts. Can I swap my engine with the larger V8 engine that was offered in this vehicle from the factory without having alot of computer and wiring changes. I guess what I am asking is it a huge headache to change my engine out for a V8 or would it be easier to buy a used engine off Ebay that is a 3.7 with 80K miles on it.
I have extra cranks here I could sell. Honestly a v8 swap is a daunting task if you're gonna do it yourself

Pretty much. Youll leave the intake cam sensor in the head but it wont connect to anything. You could install your 11 head into your 07 block but that'd a bunch of work.
I appreciate the response. Do you think using the reluctor off my 3.7 is okay or do I need to purchase new?

Your balance shaft bearings are worn out. You are likely on borrowed time with that motor.
@@BadlandIndustries ok. Thanks. It started doing this 20k miles ago after I tried the shell truck oil with the higher moly. I think it started a new break in cycle. Will an oil test pick up the wear material? I guess I better fix the 91 trooper head gasket so, I can have a backup vehicle. What are your 3.5L rebuilds running?
@scox7760 at 200k you should consider rebuilding the motor. If you rebearing the motor and put a new timing kit it'll run great for a while still.
Could this be related to a resonance frequency vibration I get every time I reach 1550 rpm while driving? It sounds like a loose heat shield or something on my exhaust system. It won't do it while parked.
@scox7760 usually that's the head shield on the collector. The tack welds cracked. You can pry it away so it doesn't rattle

Are you aware of anyone ever doing a max N/A type build with these motors? I.E: overbore/high compression pistons, max porting and polishing of the heads, cams, or a combination of or all of the previous? Curious what kind of power can be squeezed out of these without forced induction. I know it wouldn’t be cheap, but I find it way more interesting than just “tHrOw An Ls In ThErE”…
The 5cyl is limited in its ability to maintain oil to all the bearings. That said there is one over bore I know of but I think he still had stock compression. The 4.2 i6 seems to be quite promising.
@@BadlandIndustries Didn’t realize there were any issues with the engine beyond the initial 3.5 engines… have a 3700 with over 200k on it, no issues, although seem to either be burning or losing a bit of oil each oil change.

Do an LS swap
There's several options. Event the inline 6 4.2l is becoming possible.

Just go straight for a 6.0 LS and make some power
Most sell their truck cause they can't afford to swap a motor. Nevermind the cost associated with ls swapping. I fully agree with you tho.
What's an LS cost? I think between my shop and the one next door I can handle the labor. I got an 05 i5 with high milage. I've replaced my carrier bearing twice and my trans mount but I still get a clunk with quick acceleration. Will that whole ass end need to be upgraded to compensate for an LS?
Also very interested in the engine swap as an alternative
Has anyone swapped a VW TDI into a Colorado? If not, they should.
I'm in the group on fb. But elected to ls swap. I think there's a few talking about it. More than a few lbz and bt4 swaps tho
@@BadlandIndustries I can see why the LS swap is more appealing. You’re getting way more power for less money, but having a TDi with a mild tune getting 30+ mpg while having enough torque to plow and tow is tempting.
There’s gotta be a manual transmission out there that will bolt up to the VW and allow you to keep 4wd.
