JC you forget sometimes that your work is worth the wait. I guarantee that the owner is just happy to have someone taking his time to do it right. That's not something money can buy anymore

Volkswagen and Audi make a heat shield covering that snaps together OEM. And they go for all their wiring for their catalytic converters and O2 sensors. You may be able to pick them up at an Auto Wrecker. All the best from Canada

Long term projects allways have little snags, don't worry you doing a great job, to work on a later date. Parts waggon is allways the same order then delivery date changes but that the nature of the beast. You are moving quiet fast now hope it's done soon.

Dear J.C. Smith projects couple. 👍👌👏 Very well done again and as always (video and work). Very impressive too. There seems to be simply nothing that you cannot do. What I like the most is, that you started to finish all your unfinished projects to get rid of them. Respectively to be able to sell vehicles and gain space in the workshop and garage back. This will be very rewarding, simultaneously good for your bank account and also relief personal pressure (3rd is the most important point). And it's definitely something I should do too, sigh. 🙈 Of course I'm eagerly looking forward to watch the next video. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and health in particular. To both of you of course.

Phenomenal work J.C! 😁👍 It's inspiring how you adapt and overcome. I hear you on the aftermarket items. Most of the time that stuff is supposed to be "plug and play" but usually still needs tweaked in some way. Better to just make what you need. Happy wrenching 🔧🔩

If you run into a problem where you can't pressurize the heating system for inside the car where the overflow tube goes to the overflow bottle for the restrictor in there to 5/16 and that'll fix all your problems with the coolant going into the heater

How much psi can those nylon gas lines hold? Because mine are steel braided lines. Just curious. Also, you know the transmission and engine is going to get extremely hot. Might need to wrap those lines. Just noticed that.

@eddiepatterson5025 Жыл бұрын

Question JC. I watched all videos on this LS swap. Why did you not use the 4L60-E instead of the TH400. the overdrive would have given better gas mileage.

@j.c.smithprojects Жыл бұрын

this truck has a rear end ratio of 2.73. an overdrive would only be useful if he wanted to do 90 mph or more. simple is reliable! the 400 is definitely simple and reliable. between the increase in hp, the light weight of truck and rear end ratio, it should do mid to high teens for mileage.
