Thanks Keith! It looks nice and makes it easy to pull the radiator if you ever needed to. We appreciate you tuning in! Emily and Jerry

Hello Wayne. We have done both to Emily's 1970 C10. Our reasoning for doing the LS swap on it was not being happy with the performance of the EFI. It did work much better than the worn out carb that was on it though. After spending what we did on the EFI I had just wished we spent that money on the LS. Let us know what you end up doing. Thanks for watching. Jerry and Emily

Hey Rob. Yes it does. That is what I used on this truck in fact. Thanks for watching. Jerry and Emily

Thanks Izek! We appreciate you watching our stuff!

Thanks Hugh. We appreciate it. Jerry

I think she's trying to steal Ripley's job as Quality Control. 🤣 Thanks Rick! Appreciate you watching our stuff! 👍

Hey Donald. This radiator takes care of the 6.0 no problem. I have installed both the all aluminum and this plastic/aluminum and have not noticed a difference. If the truck is from a warmer climate, I run a 170 degree thermostat in them and they run right around 180 degrees. Thanks for watching. We appreciate it. Jerry and Emily

Thank you for giving so much help and your knowledge to help us build our own projects your videos are so helpful I appreciate you and your wife for what y’all do

True, these 2 are funny!!!!

Thanks Mooney! Appreciate you tuning in! 👋

🤣🤣 Thanks Jeff!

Awesome! Bringing old and new together! Thanks for tuning in, Landon!

Hi Alonso!

We'd be proud to drive it! Thanks for tuning in!

This a Gen 3 LQ4.

Thanks Joe! Here's a link to the 2 year update! czcams.com/video/CaAIs2yLxt0/video.html

@@UglyTruckExperience I noticed that right after I sent the message. I think I'm gonna go this route with my 54 chev. Love the look!!!

Be sure to let us know how it goes! I've been really happy with it!

@UglyTruckExperience I certainly will! Love your truck BTW!

There should be possibly two green wires coming out of the connector at the firewall that will be power in run, crank. It originally would have come out and branched off going to a few different things on the diesel. Like the glow plugs and the switch on the pump that shut the fuel supply down. I am looking at a 84 wiring diagram, but I believe it is the same. Hope that helps. Jerry

I have seen a lot of people use that recipe, but I didn't want it to be greasy and wanted it to last longer. This Zep floor polish has been great! Here's a link to the 2 year update if you're interested. czcams.com/video/CaAIs2yLxt0/video.html We appreciate you tuning in! --Emily

Hey Francis. Drive by cable uses a cable box to hold the throttle plates open. The wiring does work in a very similar way though. I have always wanted to wire one up but have never had the chance. Jerry

Hey Terry. Look at your fuel pressure first. Jerry

Hey Matthew. There is a radiator that is a little over 28 inches for a core width that might work for you. Spectra Premium CU2334. They did not have a electric fan setup for these radiators, they we're all mechanical. We used it in Emily's 70 because of it's size. It might be your best option. Hope that helps and if you end up using it be sure to let us know. Jerry and Emily

Thanks Wes. You are correct. Having that cab off makes everything so much easier on any of these. Thanks for watching. Jerry

Hello Michael. We have a few of them, but I would check this one out first. czcams.com/video/NtfJcXJBirg/video.html

Hello NPG. The LQ9 with 317 heads is a stock tune. We send the computer out to the guy who does our computers. He will download a stock tune for a LQ9 and a 4L80 transmission and it will run perfectly without a custom tune. If we change the engine from a stock configuration, like adding more compression with different heads, a custom tune would be needed. I also need this truck to run on 87 octane regular fuel. Jerry

Hello Mathew. That power wire that came from your junction block that lead to the positive side of the coil is probably a resistor wire and needs to be changed to a 14 gauge regular wire. That would be your new hot in run start and crank wire. Hope that helps. Thank you for watching. Jerry and Emily

Thanks William. We appreciate it. Jerry and Emily

Thank you James. You nailed it on the rear end going out. It will be parked until we get a chance to either rebuild it or put another in it. Emily

Hi Edgar! This video is a couple years old, so O'Reilly may not have the same deal. Check out the Powerstop brake kits on RockAuto.com. We've used their stuff several times, and it's always good. Hope this help! Thanks for watching! --Emily

@@UglyTruckExperience that did cross my mind but it was worth a shot. Thank you, your video was definitely helpful to me.

Thanks so much, Carlos! We appreciate you watching our stuff! --Emily and Jerry

Great info! Thanks for tuning in, Ty!

Hey GHK! The brand is Vanpo and they're available on Amazon. Here's a link to the set we have, and they've been great! Thanks for tuning in! amzn.to/4ccNNkB

Hello Frank. We will get that list out soon. Thanks. Jerry and Emily

Hello Kelly, send us an email at uglytruckexperience@gmail.com and we can go from there. Thanks, and we appreciate you watching our stuff! --Emily and Jerry

We used the stock floating wrist pin connecting rods and Sealed Power H1506CPA 0.20 oversize on this one. Thanks for watching. We appreciate it. Jerry and Emily

Thank you Tito. We appreciate you watching. Jerry and Emily

Hey Shawn. We bought the 4.8 with around 220,000 miles on it and threw it in hoping it was a good motor. We paid 600.00 for it and the transmission and had a really tight budget. Emily put about 10 thousand miles on it and we noticed we we're starting to have to add coolant. We changed it's oil one day and the pan was filled with sludge. That is what led to this video. I hope you are not having the same issues. Thank you for watching. We really appreciate it. Jerry and Emily

@@UglyTruckExperience got a 2000 4.8 w/man trans just wondering how long they last guessing 300 if oil change reg

We have one out here with 450,000 miles on it that runs and sounds new. It was maintained like crazy by the people who owned it. Motor has never been touched from the records we have. We love the 4.8. It is a great motor. Jerry

Hey Khary. What part are you asking about specifically? I haven't seen this in a while. Thanks. Jerry

@@UglyTruckExperience black top plate that secured radiator to fan

That is the top piece that I cut out of the donor radiator support. I rivet a bracket onto it that I custom make and then the radiator and fan bolt together like they would in the 2004 donor truck. It ends up looking pretty nice I think. Jerry

Hey Randy. That blue wire passes through the low pressure switch and is just a source to ground....Thanks for watching. Jerry and Emily

We run the 87 sending units in the 85's and the 5 ohm difference really isn't noticeable. If you keep your fuel tank above a 1/4 tank, not having a baffle is no problem. Our own trucks do not have baffles and it has not been an issue. Thanks for watching. Jerry and Emily

@@UglyTruckExperience I really appreciate your response! Do you happen to know anything about mating a 4l80e 4x4 to a np208c transfer case? I think I have vss figured out, I am just trying to figure out if I will need an adapter. Thank you!

You would have to buy an adapter for that and also the 4l80 is longer which poses a problem. You will end up having to have to deal with different length driveshafts also to position the engine back far enough. Jerry

Hi from Missouri! 👋 Thanks for tuning in, David!

Awesome! Those hot staplers do look pretty handy! Might have to check those out. Thanks for tuning in, Shady!

Thanks Tito! We don't have a video on the instrument cluster, but several people have asked about it. We'll put it on our to-do list! We appreciate you watching our stuff. --Emily and Jerry

Thanks keep up the great work. And great ideas coming along

Hello Rod. It doesn't change anything with the computer. The only difference is getting the speed sensor signal from the transfer case is all. Jerry

In your case it should just be a matter of plugging it in on the 4l60e if your going to a 2wd. You shouldn't even have to mess with the wiring.

@@UglyTruckExperience Thanks. Will do

Haha, thanks Crispy! I've been really happy with the results! Here's a link to the 2 year update if you're interested. czcams.com/video/CaAIs2yLxt0/video.html --Emily

Hi Ann, we'll check out your email. Thanks for tuning in! --Emily and Jerry

If.you have a dod engine that has not had any issues with the lifters yet, you could just have the dod deleted from the computer and it would be fine. If it has developed problems, the most economical thing to do is put a non dod cam and lifters in and block off the oil passages from the vlom. Jerry
