    Ya, those impact sensors are just garbage. Every used one I have ever seen has been bad. The worst part is that everyone is REALLY proud of them, and charge an arm and leg for new ones. Very nice work getting the truck put back together. LOTS of great info in this video, thank you for taking the time to share it all!

    How do you tell when it's bad, I replaced both front bearings and it seemed fine for a while but now I have kind of a rumble grinding noise when turning to the right and also when braking, I also had one of the caliper bolts come out on that side and replaced it. It was the upper one for keeping the pins in. Thanks

    Do you really need the truck to tell you when the coolant is low? I mean for the last 40 years none of my others have. If you want an easy cheap fix to get rid of the light just pull the wire connection off the sensor and make a jumper between the wires or snip the wires and twist them together. Done in 5 minutes.

    • @MohawkMotors
      @MohawkMotors Před 4 dny

      No I don't need the truck to tell me if the coolant is low, but I don't like the low coolant light coming on and I prefer not to have wire jumpers and stuff like that on my vehicles. It wasn't that expensive or difficult to just do the proper repair. Plus I still have the secondary warning that should something crazy happen like a coolant hose burst or a piece of debris cut one and drain the coolant nearly instantly, I'll know about it before the engine even starts to overheat.

    • @MohawkMotors

      They're much easier to get back in. you don't need to line it up any specific way, just poke the end in, get the splines lined up, then give it a quick firm push in and it should snap into place.

    Hello! Thank you very much for your videos. I'm in the middle of an swap. My base is a Jeep CJ7 (the front differential is on the passenger side) with a 5.3 LS engine and a 4L60 gearbox. Due to the side of the vehicle where the front differential is located, I chose to use an NP208 transfer case (1986 Bronco) and it uses a wire speedometer (analog type). What type of sensor should I use? I don't know how to adapt the speed sensor receiver from the wiring harness that goes to the PCM. did you have this problem? How would they solve it? thanks in advance.

    • @MohawkMotors
      @MohawkMotors Před 10 dny

      Hello, so in your application, an analog to digital signal adapter would probably be the easiest solution. There are lot's of companies making them now. Here's one I found really easily with a google search. www.walterseandp.com/product-page/np208-electronic-vss-conversion-kit-r2

      That's a perfect way to do it! If you got the denali cheap enough you can probably get most of your money back selling the stuff you don't need. I would recommend holding off on selling things until you have your swap complete though, would be a bummer to accidentally sell something you end up needing.

      If you can get the 5.3 with the harness, PCM, and accessories from a 99 to 02 truck it's pretty much just plug and play. All you have to do is get the PCM reprogrammed to the Truck VIN. Or delete VATS out of the pcm all together.

    YOU GOT THAT 89 FOR 1200 BUCKS???? HOLY CRAP!!! YOU STOLE THAT THING!!! Score man! ok, so I was on the fence about what to do with your CUCV, but now I know what I would do. I would put the 6.2 gas in the CUCV (twin turbo maybe?) and I'd drop the DuraMax in the 89! Put some nice 3/4 ton suspension under it. Leave the exterior as is, and turn it into a really cool, one of a kind haul truck. AC, power windows, keyless entry, remote start, upgraded gauge cluster, custom front and rear bumpers, upgraded LED lights to replace the stock headlights, and tail lights too. Don't forget the air bags in the back of course. Pull out tool box in the back. Maybe even a (and this is going WAY out there) a wheel lift tucked under the back of the truck if you can find one off a tow truck! Or.....sell me the 89 😂 Just Kidding! I can't wait to see what you decide to do with it. Just don't Lambo the doors please! LOL

    • @MohawkMotors
      @MohawkMotors Před 20 dny

      Man when you plan a build you plan BIG Colin!! I'm actually pretty confident I'm going to put the duramax into the CUCV and do a really nice restomod on it. Same kind of level as I'm doing on the single cab right now, strip it down to the frame, get the duramax to 100%, get the allison to 100% and converted to 6 speed, disc brakes front and rear, and then get the body work done as well. But I want to keep it very utilitarian/military, crank windows, flat camoflauge paint, Military bumpers, a hidden winch, onboard air, toolbox in the bed, brake upgrade front and rear. The blazer my first thoughts are 6.0, 4l80, fix the rockers and try to match the existing paint/patina as best I can, and very factory interior, it already has power windows and locks. Kind of a drivetrain modernization but otherwise keep it very original. The wheelbase on them is so short and the frame makes me nervous about pulling trailers of any significant size. I've seen too many of them bent from relatively low tongue weight and hitting a bump or railroad tracks. Plus it would be a freaking awesome rig to be able to take the top off and cruise to the river or the beach in the summer. Don't worry, no lambo doors.

      @@MohawkMotors Can't argue your plans with the CUCV, that does sound pretty sweet. You'll never go wrong turning it into a haul/work truck. I'm excited to see the build, for sure. I forgot most, (maybe all) those blazers came with power windows. I think they also came with a power rear window too. (although I know some were manual) The rockers on the old square bodies are SUPER easy to replace. So easy, that I taught myself how to do my first set, and there was NOTHING left on that tuck! I had a friend that had a blazer, and you wouldn't believe what he hauled with that thing! The body rotted off, so he put a regular cab on it, and a custom shortbed step side. I've never been a fan of the step sides, but it worked. Actually, come to think of it, he had a 6.2 diesel in it that he put 6.5 heads and intake on and ran it with the turbo. As much as I want to see the Blazer project, I am super interested in the CUCV. I've never had a Duramax, and know nothing about them, so I'm excited to learn. Also, this making the Allison a 6 speed, I have GOT to see that! Awesome video, as always bud. Thanks for taking all that time to film and put the video together for us. It looked like you had a blast. AND, still made a profit! LOL. What a score!
