If the drill that broke off is small enough I would try to drill a even smaller bit around the broken bit. Hopefully that would loosen it up enough to get that broken bit to break free. I have tried the masonry bits and they tend to try to walk off to the side because of the hardened bit. Good luck. I hope it goes smoothly. Jerry

Great video and good information. I just sent my ECM out to a tuner for my LS Swap. I want to run a classic intake manifold and will be doing a MAF Delete. Tuner recommended a Speed Density Tune and adding a IAT sensor to the mix. I'm hoping it runs fine, worried a little without a MAF. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, wish me luck!

Poor Ripley. One of these days, she's going to turn us in for animal abuse. 🤣 We appreciate you watching and always look forward to your comments! We're planning something special for the channel for Thanksgiving, so stay tuned!!
Such great info guys. This will be a great video for your channel. I actually watched your older videos to do my build. You and your wife have been very helpful. I did have an issue come up recently. I had a hard start issue and got a cam position low voltage code. Initially I installed a new Delco cam sensor and just added a new pigtail at the sensor. I am taking it in but wanted to know if you ran into this? This engine is super grounded. Any thoughts? Thanks
I don't think I have ever had a long crank problem on the ls that wasn't fuel related. With that code if your sensor and pigtail didn't fix it, it would seem to have to be a wiring or pcm issue. Let us know what happens. Thanks Jerry
I have been looking at that kind of stuff lately just out of curiosity. A wiring harness alone can cost more than what I pay for an entire donor vehicle. It always comes down to cost I guess and how big a budget a person has. I also like to give a person back a vehicle that is simple and normal to diagnose any issues. If I was building something for myself and had a large budget, I would definitely give that a try. I know there are some good products out there. If you give it a shot please let us know. Thanks for your question Jerry
To the question of will he notice the difference between a 4.3l and a 6.0: my friend and I have nearly identical 2002 and 2003 chevy 1500HDs. He pulled up next to a friend of his with a pretty decent freshened 69 or 70 mustang 289 w/ automatic. The completely stock pickup took the mustang by a full vehicle length over about 120 feet.

Hoping to re-flash and tune my 2001 Isuzu Rodeo ECU, after making sure I get a full read of it for later inspection; because it's a P01 that uses a 58x sensor. Be great to have one drive by cable ECU that can do distributors, 24x, and 58x. 58x trigger wheels are used on a lot of vehicles from many brands too, so almost as useful as some holley or megasquirt ECUs.

@Ed Gonzalez.. "LOL" ??? Actually, Emily's vocal contributions are a large part of the charm of the Ugly Truck Experience channel. Real talk for real people. Not unlike listening in on Sports Commentator discussions.
I wanted your opinion. I go for ugly on outside of vehicle then nice & pretty on inside. I call it ghetto camo do you agree it is natural deterrent of thieves.
Depends on where you live I guess. We live in the middle of Missouri and I can't go anywhere in one of my older looking trucks without someone saying how much they would love to have it. We used to have a 3 on the tree that we though would be funny if someone tried to take it. Great question WSK. We appreciate it.
Unfortunately being in California I have to have my 85 c10 smog like it is the 2003 escalade I got the engine from which requires literally all smog equipment the caddy came with...lame I know but it can be done

My truck was recently struck by lightning and bought used ecm just wondering if ecm has to match bcm cause bcm got hit as well they sell them already vin programmed just wondering if I have to program to truck vin or new used ecm vin thanks 🙏 for any help
You are correct. It does rely on the map sensor a ton. Back in the day before the maf sensor, the slightest little vacuum leak would make them run terrible. Thanks for watching and commenting.
thanx for offer on 3 cyl crank, but the one in my CHEVY METRO is fine, burnt couple valves is all...ez fix only having 3 intake 3 exhaust valves and 3 pistons...although it does have 395K miles on engine, still running, just very rough. was still getting 43mpg highway, 51 when it was new. Q on LS -CPU 5.3 SWAP INTO '81 C-10 Is factory tune from donor adequate/ sufficient to run manual tranny? not building drag truck, will buck n stumble threw shifts until 55mph? does anyone you know have a generic tune for a good starting point ? to be a basic / efficient tune ? motor Q. how bad does oil pan hang below crossmember? is it a must replace? will oil pan from a car a better/cheaper fit than aftermarket ? anything i can do now to remove fuel from injectors as this is a one year project or until needed parts have been allocated ...dont to deal with gummed up injectors after fuel sitting that long...wat are reasonable fees for modifying cpu? i'm still going thru ur vids n taking notes. possible to consolidate a video for.. must have swapping parts... to need to change parts/gaskets...i only ask cuz i really want this swap to be as quick n simple n low budget n satis-factory . this cud be very lucrative in my area . nice abundance of LS engines, not so much qualified cpu tuners tho...maybe simple Q n A video? a sitdown or Live LS square body do's n don'ts with some of your fans like myself, ...N E thots?
I had forgotten about the 3 cylinder metro. I know that the standard transmission and automatic transmission are going to take a different tune. The guy we send our computers out to I am sure would be able to do whatever you needed. lt1swap.com He has a ton of great into on his website. Tuning and shipping is usually less than 150.00. All depends on what all is done I would guess. Oil pan hangs about 2 inches below crossmember. Holley low profile pan is the way to go even though they are expensive. I insist on them now. Fuel in that rail for a year won't cause you any issues unless that fuel was already years old. I hope this helps. I am sure we will do another live at some point and would be willing to answer what we can. Thanks for watching Jerry
@@UglyTruckExperience thanx so much for oil pan answer, as I intend to lower frontend and rearend in a future project. that seems like a very competitive price for ecm...my pu will also need posi n lower gears. guess same as that 85 ...2.56. very high i never use fourth/OD ...looking forward to that video...love the LS content
Thanks for watching! Here is a link to a video explaining everything we keep from the donor vehicle, or get from a salvage yard. ruclips.net/video/DWz_U9DkTWo/видео.html You'll need the wiring harness, PCM, accelerator pedal, and throttle control module and harness. Hope this helps!
I know this is video is about 1 year old but I just recently subscribed since buying an 07 LS LY5 out of a GMC Yukon. I got the wiring harness and ECM but I didn’t get the BCM (which I didn’t know it was that). So will I need to go back and get the BCM for my LS swap? And is there anything else other than the OBD and DBW pedal that I will for a successful swap?
If your 07 is a Gen 4, you would need the BCM to run, Tow/haul, A/C and cruise control. If you grab a BCM from a donor, make sure you get all the connectors that go to it. Jerry
Yes it a gen 4. I was able to go back and get the BCM along with other connectors. I got the AC controls as well as the cruise control. Is there anything else I should get that u recommend? If I decide to do the tow/haul, is there anything else I need to get off of it? Or as long as I have the BCM I can make a harness for the towing and the wiring connector? Thank you for all the great info you provide on your videos, it helps tremendously!
I like drive by wire mostly because it is so much cleaner when it comes to cruise control. No extra box required. Drive by wire has a quicker throttle response and I personally think they maintain a really good idle. Thanks
@@UglyTruckExperience Awesome thank you for the response. So I guess the only draw back to drive by wire is the pedal assembly mods. Other than that it's pretty much a no brainer.
Yes, we put the videos out in the order we do them, so they're all in order. We're still working on these 86 C10 swaps, so there's more videos to come...but here's a playlist will all of those videos so far. ruclips.net/p/PL3Xf8yWArPC4Qda-Lj78McLIQjdtHqjyY Here's a link to the 85 C10 5.3 swap we did a while back, start to finish, if you want to check that out! We appreciate you watching! 👍 ruclips.net/p/PL3Xf8yWArPC6d1qzP_ov-B7NUcNQiqvQG
@@UglyTruckExperience Thank you for the information. I have a question that perhaps you can help me with. I came across a LQ9 with transmission and wire harness and required PCM for my 86 C10. I have a Holley sniper and have been thinking about using the sniper on the motor to kind of give it that Old School classic look and I can keep my throttle cable. But I have no idea where to even begin when it comes to controlling the transmission. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations? Do you have a suggestion of headers that I can perhaps us? Again thank you for all your great videos.
Doing that you would end up having to buy a transmission controller, you would also have to run the engines ignition using something to control that. I have seen this done but it gets expensive fast and can be a tuning nightmare. Please keep us posted on it. I have yet to find a header that I would say that I like. The manifolds are capable of around 1000 hp and they are tough as can be so I just roll with them. Even though headers always look cool. Thanks
So do you usually go with the no PRND programming option, relying on the hardware switch and relay. Finally approaching the point of putting a P59 on an HSK845 snowblower engine. Yes seriously.
We always use the PRNDL, so I don't really have any experience with that. You must be up north somewhere if your making a snow blower run that good. Jerry
Was looking for a video where you mention the pins of ECU used for it, and only seen where you mention none, but the ECU triggering starter relay. This is more about making sure I have everything in order. Maybe since my starting file expects electronic throttle, it refuses to start without it. I'll figure it out... eventually.
From a 2004 Silverado. 12587603 OS. Supposedly pin 34 of Blue, to ground for park. I tried that and the no switch flashing option. Probably need to re-evaluate my crank sensor setup or non-battery power supply. I am getting crank sensor "range/performance" code, despite getting an RPM reading. Trigger wheel wobbles a bit. Making mount for that involved welding a saw blade.
My dumbass mounted the trigger wheel backwards. I even labeled it after referencing pictures, then practically stared at the label showing me it's backwards, wondering why it refused to work.
What if the computer , motor and fuse box is all from the same donor truck, everything, Do I still need to program the computer? Apart from deleting the bats
You'd still want to have it programmed for the tire size, gear ratio, etc. But with VATS deleted, it should fire up and run as long as the engine is stock. We appreciate you watching our stuff! Emily and Jerry
I did everything I was supposed to but when I try going for a spin around the block, my transmission won’t go in gear, is there something I’m missing in the transmission side ?
Hey Victor. When you say it won't go into gear, are you saying it is stuck in one forward gear or it just won't move at all in reverse or forward? Jerry
@@UglyTruckExperience it won't move at all, I'm probably going to check if the oil is pumping cause I did struggle a bit to get it to line up, I'm afraid that I might of broken the pump
Been living on your channel.I am doing a 5.3 ls from a 2006 chev avalanche into my 1985 Silverado.I am using the 700r4trans.have the 5.3 in bolted to trans.purchased motor mounts for the 5.3 that can slide.

Hello Crestflock. You would want to get a hold of somebody that does the tuning on the ECM's and get their suggestions. Tuning a LS motor for a manual transmission is more involved from what I understand. We use LT1swap.com for our tuning and he is great at answering those questions and has a very helpful website. Thanks for watching. Keep us posted on your swap. I would love to hear more on manual transmissions. Jerry
Great tips guys! Getting ready to pull the tired 350 TBI and 3spd from my ‘87 3/4T Scottsdale 4x4. Donor is a 6.0L 4L65 from 2007 Silverado 2500. Complete with wire harness, PCM, and pedal. Question…how did you connect the shift linkage to the new trans? And cruise control…how did you connect that? Running stock/refreshed 87 gauges with Tach option from LMC Truck. Thanks!
This was a tough video to do with all of the talking that we had to do. It is not the easiest thing to stand in front of a camera and talk from the top of your head. We have gotten much better and hope you give us another shot. We do appreciate your comment even though. Thanks. Jerry and Emily
The price of each swap varies, but the last few were in the $12000 - $15000 range. That being said, the cost changes over time, and we are booked up for over a year. Thanks for watching! --Emily and Jerry
I’m using a 58x e38 ecu and 4l80e t42 tcm. Can’t get 4th gear/overdrive even after changing transmissions. Checked all wiring, any ideas what to look for next?
The donor was a 2008 Silverado. After doing a segment swap, we figured out two pins in the transmission plug needed to be switched around. Problem solved… thanks for responding
Hi Hank! Yes, you will still need to have the security (VATS) turned off and have it programmed for your final drive gear ratio and tire size. Check out LT1swap.com. He does our programming and has a ton of great information on his website. Thanks for watching! --Emily and Jerry
We may go that route soon. The guy that does them for us now is awesome, but we have a couple swaps planned that might need some extra tweaking and it would be cool to do it ourselves. Thanks for watching!
Yes, that is possible to do. It all depends on what your donor vehicle is but you will have to change some of the wiring going to the pcm. I have a couple drive by cable harnesses around here. Maybe we could trade.
@@UglyTruckExperience ok i can trade or buy yours i have a dbw 2006 yukon 6.0 wireharness and factory fuse block just let me know if you can use it thanks again for everything yall do for us

@Ugly Truck Experience sorry, I'm not trying to be cruel nor am I an expert at making videos. Lord knows mine aren't perfect. However, when producing long videos that ARE entertaining and informative as yours are. Most follow the "narritive" that the camera person be silent unless asked a specific question. The reason being, your subject is typically further from the microphone, so, when you give ummm,yup or comment it's louder than the rest of the video. I apologize if this is coming across as curt but rest assured it IS constructive criticism. I and many many others look forward to more content from you. The woman is rather cute I might add. Cheers, Chris.

Hi Luis! Thanks for watching our video! We use AllData for our wiring diagrams, and we aren't allowed to send them out to anyone else. If there is a specific question you have, we'll be glad to help you out. Best of luck with your Chevelle! Emily and Jerry
Very informative videos there guys!
I'll be putting an LQ4 with a 4L80e on my hobby 2000 Astro Van in a couple months, any additional advice and prayers would be appreciated 😅
Thanks so much for watching! You'll have the fastest Astro Van in town! 🤣 Our advice is to keep the swap as simple as possible, and use as many stock parts as you can. It will get the job done quicker and cheaper, and much less headache in the long run. Best of luck, and keep us posted on your swap! --Emily and Jerry
how many times does she say "Yeah". or "YUP"..LOL. Great Vids!!
@Ed Gonzalez.. "LOL" ??? Actually, Emily's vocal contributions are a large part of the charm of the Ugly Truck Experience channel. Real talk for real people. Not unlike listening in on Sports Commentator discussions.
🤣🤣 I don't even want to count! Thanks for watching!
Thanks @Ray Bann 😁 We try to keep it real! My Yeah's and Yup's are like Jerry's OK SO's! 🤣🤣
Couldn't you get away from deleting vats by using the column and bcm from the donor vehicle?
That is possible but would be much more work. Thanks
I wanted your opinion. I go for ugly on outside of vehicle then nice & pretty on inside. I call it ghetto camo do you agree it is natural deterrent of thieves.
Depends on where you live I guess. We live in the middle of Missouri and I can't go anywhere in one of my older looking trucks without someone saying how much they would love to have it. We used to have a 3 on the tree that we though would be funny if someone tried to take it. Great question WSK. We appreciate it.
Didn't tack weld the pick up tube to the oil pump. Busted crank is a common issue on 4.3L too much RPM 😂
It definitely made for a fun teardown! 😆 Thanks for watching!
Unfortunately being in California I have to have my 85 c10 smog like it is the 2003 escalade I got the engine from which requires literally all smog equipment the caddy came with...lame I know but it can be done
It's a pain, but we've talked to several people who have done it. But they all said it's worth it in the end! Best of luck on your swap! --Emily and Jerry
For Sale... A one off Bow Tie V Twin engine kit.. All offers considered.
🤣🤣 This turned out to be one of my favorite teardowns!
@@UglyTruckExperience Yeah.. I saw that. .. U tore into it like a tornado . The shake n break really made heads fly. You folks never disappoint. Stay Warm.
most people ls swap into a 88-98 truck, OBS, any videos on that style truck?
Not yet but am sure one will roll through the doors one of these days. Thanks Jerry
Yup
Also "yep", "yes", and "yeah". 🤣 Thanks for watching!
THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR ASNWER, i GET YOU.
Have you checked out LT1swap.com? He has a ton of great wiring info and diagrams.
My truck was recently struck by lightning and bought used ecm just wondering if ecm has to match bcm cause bcm got hit as well they sell them already vin programmed just wondering if I have to program to truck vin or new used ecm vin thanks 🙏 for any help
Hey Steve. Sorry for my late response. That new ECM can be programmed for your truck and it will communicate with the other BCM no problem. Jerry
6:50 going MAFless is known as running in speed density. It is largely based on the MAP sensor tables, I think.
You are correct. It does rely on the map sensor a ton. Back in the day before the maf sensor, the slightest little vacuum leak would make them run terrible. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Yeah 🎉
Thanks for watching Shady. We appreciate it. Jerry
thanx for offer on 3 cyl crank, but the one in my CHEVY METRO is fine, burnt couple valves is all...ez fix only having 3 intake 3 exhaust valves and 3 pistons...although it does have 395K miles on engine, still running, just very rough. was still getting 43mpg highway, 51 when it was new. Q on LS -CPU 5.3 SWAP INTO '81 C-10 Is factory tune from donor adequate/ sufficient to run manual tranny? not building drag truck, will buck n stumble threw shifts until 55mph? does anyone you know have a generic tune for a good starting point ? to be a basic / efficient tune ? motor Q. how bad does oil pan hang below crossmember? is it a must replace? will oil pan from a car a better/cheaper fit than aftermarket ? anything i can do now to remove fuel from injectors as this is a one year project or until needed parts have been allocated ...dont to deal with gummed up injectors after fuel sitting that long...wat are reasonable fees for modifying cpu? i'm still going thru ur vids n taking notes. possible to consolidate a video for.. must have swapping parts... to need to change parts/gaskets...i only ask cuz i really want this swap to be as quick n simple n low budget n satis-factory . this cud be very lucrative in my area . nice abundance of LS engines, not so much qualified cpu tuners tho...maybe simple Q n A video? a sitdown or Live LS square body do's n don'ts with some of your fans like myself, ...N E thots?
I had forgotten about the 3 cylinder metro. I know that the standard transmission and automatic transmission are going to take a different tune. The guy we send our computers out to I am sure would be able to do whatever you needed. lt1swap.com He has a ton of great into on his website. Tuning and shipping is usually less than 150.00. All depends on what all is done I would guess. Oil pan hangs about 2 inches below crossmember. Holley low profile pan is the way to go even though they are expensive. I insist on them now. Fuel in that rail for a year won't cause you any issues unless that fuel was already years old. I hope this helps. I am sure we will do another live at some point and would be willing to answer what we can. Thanks for watching Jerry
@@UglyTruckExperience thanx so much for oil pan answer, as I intend to lower frontend and rearend in a future project. that seems like a very competitive price for ecm...my pu will also need posi n lower gears. guess same as that 85 ...2.56. very high i never use fourth/OD ...looking forward to that video...love the LS content
I have a 2010 jeep jk putting a 5.3 Ls out of a 09 tahoe what pcm do I need and do I need the 09 tahoe peddle
Thanks for watching! Here is a link to a video explaining everything we keep from the donor vehicle, or get from a salvage yard. ruclips.net/video/DWz_U9DkTWo/видео.html You'll need the wiring harness, PCM, accelerator pedal, and throttle control module and harness. Hope this helps!
I know this is video is about 1 year old but I just recently subscribed since buying an 07 LS LY5 out of a GMC Yukon. I got the wiring harness and ECM but I didn’t get the BCM (which I didn’t know it was that). So will I need to go back and get the BCM for my LS swap? And is there anything else other than the OBD and DBW pedal that I will for a successful swap?
If your 07 is a Gen 4, you would need the BCM to run, Tow/haul, A/C and cruise control. If you grab a BCM from a donor, make sure you get all the connectors that go to it. Jerry
Yes it a gen 4. I was able to go back and get the BCM along with other connectors. I got the AC controls as well as the cruise control. Is there anything else I should get that u recommend? If I decide to do the tow/haul, is there anything else I need to get off of it? Or as long as I have the BCM I can make a harness for the towing and the wiring connector? Thank you for all the great info you provide on your videos, it helps tremendously!
Love your video's
just wondering about with a LS swap if we can use the 01 gauge cluster & how to hook it up!
Thanks Edward! Are you talking about using the gauge cluster from the donor vehicle? What are you swapping?
Do you guys prefer drive by wire or drive by cable and if so why would you choose one over the other?
I like drive by wire mostly because it is so much cleaner when it comes to cruise control. No extra box required. Drive by wire has a quicker throttle response and I personally think they maintain a really good idle. Thanks
@@UglyTruckExperience Awesome thank you for the response. So I guess the only draw back to drive by wire is the pedal assembly mods. Other than that it's pretty much a no brainer.
You are correct.
do you guys have the videos set up in a series...beginning to end for the swap.
Yes, we put the videos out in the order we do them, so they're all in order. We're still working on these 86 C10 swaps, so there's more videos to come...but here's a playlist will all of those videos so far. ruclips.net/p/PL3Xf8yWArPC4Qda-Lj78McLIQjdtHqjyY
Here's a link to the 85 C10 5.3 swap we did a while back, start to finish, if you want to check that out! We appreciate you watching! 👍 ruclips.net/p/PL3Xf8yWArPC6d1qzP_ov-B7NUcNQiqvQG
@@UglyTruckExperience Thank you for the information. I have a question that perhaps you can help me with. I came across a LQ9 with transmission and wire harness and required PCM for my 86 C10. I have a Holley sniper and have been thinking about using the sniper on the motor to kind of give it that Old School classic look and I can keep my throttle cable. But I have no idea where to even begin when it comes to controlling the transmission. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations?
Do you have a suggestion of headers that I can perhaps us?
Again thank you for all your great videos.
Doing that you would end up having to buy a transmission controller, you would also have to run the engines ignition using something to control that. I have seen this done but it gets expensive fast and can be a tuning nightmare. Please keep us posted on it. I have yet to find a header that I would say that I like. The manifolds are capable of around 1000 hp and they are tough as can be so I just roll with them. Even though headers always look cool. Thanks
So do you usually go with the no PRND programming option, relying on the hardware switch and relay. Finally approaching the point of putting a P59 on an HSK845 snowblower engine. Yes seriously.
We always use the PRNDL, so I don't really have any experience with that. You must be up north somewhere if your making a snow blower run that good. Jerry
Was looking for a video where you mention the pins of ECU used for it, and only seen where you mention none, but the ECU triggering starter relay. This is more about making sure I have everything in order. Maybe since my starting file expects electronic throttle, it refuses to start without it. I'll figure it out... eventually.
Let me know what year your PCM is programmed for and I could let you know what pins are related to the PRNDL. Jerry
From a 2004 Silverado. 12587603 OS. Supposedly pin 34 of Blue, to ground for park. I tried that and the no switch flashing option. Probably need to re-evaluate my crank sensor setup or non-battery power supply. I am getting crank sensor "range/performance" code, despite getting an RPM reading. Trigger wheel wobbles a bit. Making mount for that involved welding a saw blade.
My dumbass mounted the trigger wheel backwards. I even labeled it after referencing pictures, then practically stared at the label showing me it's backwards, wondering why it refused to work.
outstanding thank you
Thanks for watching, Frank!
Awesome video, very informative. Do you have anyone in mind that i might be able to send my ecu to? Thanks
We use LT1swap.com. Thanks Antonio. Jerry
What if the computer , motor and fuse box is all from the same donor truck, everything,
Do I still need to program the computer? Apart from deleting the bats
Your videos are awesome, learn a lot from your videos, please keep it up 👍👍
You'd still want to have it programmed for the tire size, gear ratio, etc. But with VATS deleted, it should fire up and run as long as the engine is stock. We appreciate you watching our stuff! Emily and Jerry
I did everything I was supposed to but when I try going for a spin around the block, my transmission won’t go in gear, is there something I’m missing in the transmission side ?
Hey Victor. When you say it won't go into gear, are you saying it is stuck in one forward gear or it just won't move at all in reverse or forward? Jerry
@@UglyTruckExperience it won't move at all,
I'm probably going to check if the oil is pumping cause I did struggle a bit to get it to line up,
I'm afraid that I might of broken the pump
Nice
Been living on your channel.I am doing a 5.3 ls from a 2006 chev avalanche into my 1985 Silverado.I am using the 700r4trans.have the 5.3 in bolted to trans.purchased motor mounts for the 5.3 that can slide. The driver side fits good the passenger side fits but the mount on the frame is in the way for the ac to bolt in even if I do your mount you did.can not get to the back bolts on the block mount on frame is over those.my truck had a 6.2 diesel.can I move that mount back or what?
Hi Don. I always end up having to move the perch back on the frame a little bit. This video might give you a better explanation. Thanks for watching. ruclips.net/video/C3sYMKrcQAI/видео.htmlsi=y790P4WQ8uCrSrGc&t=1449
Thanks guys and gals I mist that video but it worked for me
Awesome! Glad you got it figured out. We've never swapped one that was originally a diesel. How far did you have to move the perch on the frame?
@@UglyTruckExperience 2inches worked I could even get at the nut for motor mount.
New sub here, Love the channel, do you have a video on your oil heater?
Thanks for subscribing! Check out this video, but you have to promise not to build one! 😁😉 ruclips.net/video/IuY1evt8nh8/видео.html
What computer do I need for OBS manual transmission?
Hello Crestflock. You would want to get a hold of somebody that does the tuning on the ECM's and get their suggestions. Tuning a LS motor for a manual transmission is more involved from what I understand. We use LT1swap.com for our tuning and he is great at answering those questions and has a very helpful website. Thanks for watching. Keep us posted on your swap. I would love to hear more on manual transmissions. Jerry
Great tips guys! Getting ready to pull the tired 350 TBI and 3spd from my ‘87 3/4T Scottsdale 4x4. Donor is a 6.0L 4L65 from 2007 Silverado 2500. Complete with wire harness, PCM, and pedal.
Question…how did you connect the shift linkage to the new trans? And cruise control…how did you connect that? Running stock/refreshed 87 gauges with Tach option from LMC Truck. Thanks!
Is your 2007 a Gen 3 or Gen 4? Jerry
Gen 3. VIN U LQ4 with throttle by wire
Ands sorry it’s a 4L80e

I tried to watch the video but the standing there say yea yea yea yea drove me nuts
This was a tough video to do with all of the talking that we had to do. It is not the easiest thing to stand in front of a camera and talk from the top of your head. We have gotten much better and hope you give us another shot. We do appreciate your comment even though. Thanks. Jerry and Emily
Good evening how's it going
Hello Alonso! 👋
What price you guys charge to swap my 2005 Chevy 4.3 l used engine from Yonkers
The price of each swap varies, but the last few were in the $12000 - $15000 range. That being said, the cost changes over time, and we are booked up for over a year. Thanks for watching! --Emily and Jerry
I’m using a 58x e38 ecu and 4l80e t42 tcm. Can’t get 4th gear/overdrive even after changing transmissions. Checked all wiring, any ideas what to look for next?
I will look into it later on today and get back to you.
Let me know what your donor motor and harness is.
The donor was a 2008 Silverado. After doing a segment swap, we figured out two pins in the transmission plug needed to be switched around. Problem solved… thanks for responding
Do I have to get ecm programmed if I do a stock rebuild on same engine
Hi Hank! Yes, you will still need to have the security (VATS) turned off and have it programmed for your final drive gear ratio and tire size. Check out LT1swap.com. He does our programming and has a ton of great information on his website. Thanks for watching! --Emily and Jerry
Long story short I use my hp tuner and turn off vats and rear o2’s. And anything else I don’t need. I don’t send anything out to anyone
We may go that route soon. The guy that does them for us now is awesome, but we have a couple swaps planned that might need some extra tweaking and it would be cool to do it ourselves. Thanks for watching!
Can I make my factory wire harness which is green and blue with fuse box make it dbc instead of dbw please can you both help me thanks
Yes, that is possible to do. It all depends on what your donor vehicle is but you will have to change some of the wiring going to the pcm. I have a couple drive by cable harnesses around here. Maybe we could trade.
@@UglyTruckExperience ok i can trade or buy yours i have a dbw 2006 yukon 6.0 wireharness and factory fuse block just let me know if you can use it thanks again for everything yall do for us
Ok. Let me sit down and look at that 2006 wiring tonight. Where are you located?
@@UglyTruckExperience im located in Plainfield IL suburb of Chicago
Contact us through our email if you could and I will get some info from you on this. Thanks uglytruckexperience@gmail.com
Can u program a computer to fit in 86k5 blazer????
Hi Daniel! We don't do any programming, but check out LT1swap.com. He does all of our programming. Thanks for watching!

Where do u send your computers
We use LT1swap.com. Thanks for tuning in!
Anyone recommend a reputable place to send the PCM out to? 6.0L LQ9 completely stock.
We use LT1swap.com. Brendan knows his stuff and has been great to work with. He also has a ton of helpful info on his site. Thanks for watching!
@@UglyTruckExperience you’re the best!
So where does a person send the computer to be reset?
There are a lot of programmers/tuners around. We use LT1swap.com and he has always been great to work with. Thanks for watching!
Watch this video, but start from the beginning counting the number of times she and he says yeah, yes, and yep.
Thanks Gary. Some people have made it a drinking game. We are not trained actors and we we're a bit nervous with all of the talking that we had to do in this video. We have gotten better as we go hopefully. We do appreciate you commenting and watching. Thanks. Jerry and Emily
Runs off the map sensor.
Are you asking if something runs off map sensor?
I REALLY wanted to listen but after the 63th "yup" I couldn't take it anymore.
We are doing the best we can. It isn't the easiest thing to stand in front of a camera and not fall for some of a persons nervous habits. We appreciate your comment, even if it was kind of mean.
Please take no offense but what is up with you always saying Yep,Ya,Yep after everthing he says? in this video I counted you saying Yep,Ya 116 times, Its funny and cute but you dont need to say it all the time after he is done just throw in a little more knowledge on the product if anything thats all but love what you guys are doing makes it so much easier to do the swap. keep up the good work.
Thanks so much for your feedback, Mike! We'll take that into account in the future. We appreciate you watching!
Yup….yup…..yup…..yup….yup. Kinda distracting.
Thanks for watching and replying. This video was a difficult one for us to do because we we're talking so much through it. We are getting better as we go. Thanks. Jerry and Emily
yep yep aha yep aha yep yep. not hating just saying.
Thanks for not hating! This is one of our older videos, and we were still a little nervous on camera, so we let our nervous habits show. We don't try to be annoying and our videos have gotten a lot better over time. We appreciate you watching! Emily and Jerry
I do not like watching videos with me or my voice on it. But thanks for the info Im starting a ls1 swap in a 84 z28.
That will be a nice swap. Keep us posted. Thanks. Jerry and Emily
How many times can she say ya/yep its freaking ANNOYING
Thanks for your feedback. We appreciate it.
I wish she wasn’t standing there saying yup after everything you say.
We will keep that in mind. Thanks for watching.
Cut the "yep, yeah" please.
Someone suggested we make it a drinking game! 🤣 Thanks for watching! --Emily and Jerry
I absoltely love your videos but the repeaded "yeah" or "yeaps" from the young lady is super distracting and don't add to the content. At the 6:06 mark I counted 40 "yeaps" and stopped counting. I know that I'm being picky but when you have such great content, its the small things make it that much better. Despite my criticism, please continue to make your content. Thank you.
Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting. This video was a difficult one for us to do because we we're talking so much through it. The times that she is responding back to me with the yeahs helps me keep going. Most of them end up getting edited out and we are both trying to hone our skills in front of the camera. We will continue, and we try to improve with every video. We appreciate you watching. Thanks again. Jerry and Emily
@@UglyTruckExperience I'm honestly honored that you took the time to reply to me. If I could suggest that you place a board behind the camera that has an outline of what you're covering. When she does interject a quip or background, it really is good.
Again, PLEASE continue with the content 🙏 it's absolutely GREAT!
Great video but does she haaaave to yup, ok, yup ok yup.ok. sooooooo annoying. Just film. Let the man talk geeeeeeez
We don't try to be annoying. In this video we we're doing something a little out of the norm of what we usually do so we tend to get a bit nervous. We will keep at it and keep practicing. Someday we will be flawless I am sure. Thanks for watching. We do appreciate it.
@Ugly Truck Experience sorry, I'm not trying to be cruel nor am I an expert at making videos. Lord knows mine aren't perfect. However, when producing long videos that ARE entertaining and informative as yours are. Most follow the "narritive" that the camera person be silent unless asked a specific question. The reason being, your subject is typically further from the microphone, so, when you give ummm,yup or comment it's louder than the rest of the video. I apologize if this is coming across as curt but rest assured it IS constructive criticism. I and many many others look forward to more content from you. The woman is rather cute I might add. Cheers, Chris.
