PEDAL 2 THE METAL - How to Modify and Install LS SWAP Accelerator Pedal - UTX

- čas přidán 4. 08. 2022
- Today at Ugly Truck, we're bringing you BY FAR our most requested video! We discuss different pedal options, and start by making an adapter plate to mount the pedal to the firewall using the original accelerator pedal mounting holes. Next, we cut and reattach the pedal to move it over and give it some adjustment, and weld it up. We also discuss how to run the wire harness to the throttle control module for a drive by wire system.

Great video. I actually used a Tahoe pedal and removed the pivot pin and adjuster. Then added a rod on top similar to the way you did yours. Thanks for the great How To Video
Awesome! I wish CZcams would let you put pictures in the comments. Would love to see how everyone else is doing theirs. Thanks for watching! --Emily
You both are helping more then you know with my ls swap squarebody Burban and those gas pedal do-hickies are Sah-wheat!
Glad the videos are helpful! We really appreciate you watching! Want me to put you in the drawing for a gas pedal do-hicky?? 😁 --Emily
Jerry, you have guts holding the sheet metal while drilling it. I've had too many bad experiences doing that so I prefer using a vice to hold my work. You've definitely done that a few times and I pray your luck holds out. Great engineering on the fly though. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Thanks Randy. Holding it with a vice or a clamp would definitely be the smart way to do that. It would cut down on the number of band-aids that I go through for sure.
LS swapping my 87 R10. your videos are what have gotten me through. love your videos! please put me in your contest for the pedal plates and i'd gladly display your sticker on my truck!! thanks again for sharing your LS swapping knowledge!
I'll put your name in the drawing! We appreciate you watching! 👍
Hey Raul, you won an adaptor plate! Shoot me an email with your mailing address and I'll get it in the mail! 😁 uglytruckexperience@gmail.com
i've been waiting on this video, building an 83 c-10 . your videos have been helpful
Glad the videos have been helpful! We appreciate you watching! 👍
Another fine informative video Jerry. And might I say you have the best and best looking help on CZcams.
Thanks,she is great. I really consider myself the helper though. Thanks for watching. We appreciate it. Jerry
@@UglyTruckExperience No Jerry I was talking about the puppies Emily's easy on eyes as well of course. But I was referring to the puppies this time.haha.
Haha. They're not much help but they're good entertainment. They're lucky they're cute.
This is awesome. I'm gonna redo the pedal in my camaro now. Thanks a ton!!!
Glad it helped! We appreciate you watching!
YAY!! It's like we're on the same schedule here! I'm going to modify my Drive by wire pedal to work with my original 63 pedal pad
Awesome! We'll have to check that out. We're always interested in new ways to get the job done! Thanks for watching!
@@UglyTruckExperience I’ll likely copy 98% from what you guys do
Hey, it's pretty simple, cheap, and it works! 👍👍
Love your videos. I am restoring a 1978 Blazer with a LS swap/ 6l80 tranny. Getting a lot of good ideas to follow. Thanks. Cute Dogs. Love dogs
Thanks btoad! Sounds like an awesome project! We love Blazers, but have never had the chance to swap one. 👍👍
Thanks for all the great tips in the video. I could use a throttle adaptor plate for my 72 K5.
Thanks for watching! I'll put you in the running for an adapter plate!
Hey Jason, you won an adaptor plate! Shoot me an email with your mailing address and I'll get it in the mail! 😁 uglytruckexperience@gmail.com
So simple. Ingenious!
These LS swaps don't have to be as complicated as folks make them out to be! 👍 Thanks for watching!
I have an 85 Swb scottsdale that i'm going to be LS swapping! currently building the LS, i'd like to buy one of those extra pedal plates y'all made 😬.. Great videos!
Very cool! We're not selling them, but I'll put you in the drawing for an adapter plate! Thanks for watching! --Emily
Great job.I enjoy your video's quiet? Is that a TR6 in the background? I used to have one the same color, I miss that car
Yep, we had a 1973 TR6 for a while but sold it. It was so much fun to drive! Thanks for watching and commenting! --Emily and Jerry
Working on a 78 and just realized today that I still have a way to go this adapter would be nice to have if possible
Hey Henry. Send Emily an email with your address. uglytruckexperience@gmail.com
If we have an extra one sitting around, we will drop one in the mail to you. Jerry
As always great video UTX. I'm swapping my 74 k5 4x4 blazer with a 5.3. Put me in the contest for the adapter plate. I havent got around to the pedal but atleast I know now what to expect. I was wondering if you have a video on how you run your fuel pump on the squarebody. I was going back and forth on the idea of a in tank pump or external with a corvette filter/regulator. Thanks!
I'll put your name in the hat for an adapter plate! Here are 3 videos talking about LS swap fuel pumps fuel systems. We're working on an 85 C10, but there's still a ton of good info for your K5.

In the last video, Jerry talks about the Corvette filter/regulators. We tried them and didn't have good luck, but I know a lot of people swear by them. Maybe we just got a defective one, but a fuel leak spraying onto the exhaust of a customer's truck was enough for us to go another route. Hope this helps you out, and thanks for watching! 👍 --Emily
Hey Mr Daniel, you won an adaptor plate! Shoot me an email with your mailing address and I'll get it in the mail! 😁 uglytruckexperience@gmail.com
i liked the video can you tell me about the truck show in Springfield mo how much does it cost to attend
Thanks Richard! Here's a link to the Facebook page for the C10 Cruise N' Show in Springfield. fb.me/e/Q6I2ihwb I believe it's $30 to register your truck, and you can sign up at MoC10Addiction.com. Entry for spectators is free! We hope to see you there!
Thanks
94-00 gmc diesel 6.5 pedal will mount in the stock location. You will have to swap a wire from terminal A to terminal j and add a slot in the connector for it to plug into the diesel pedal
I've heard that, but have never been able to find one to check it out. Do you have a part number?
I just bought 1 off ebay
Thank You
Thanks for watching!
What are the advantages of using DBW over DBC? It seems like using DBC would be the easier option. I guess it's dependent on what type of throttle body your donor engine has?
The.drive by wire engines idle better and also have quicker throttle response. They are easier to incorporate cruise control also. Probably the biggest reason they are being use so much is because there are so many of them. Thanks
I have a question? do you guys delete the Vats system "vehicle anti-theft system" from the computer and how do you do it? Did you guys do a video on that thanks?
We send our computers out to lt1swap.com and he programs our computer for whatever we are working on, removes vats and any emissions that we are not using. He has a great website that describes all of the info he needs. We have not done a video yet but it is going to be coming up. Thanks Jerry
@@UglyTruckExperience thanks
I bought an 2005 suburban pedal but my donor vehicle is a 2007 denali. The plug on the pedal is different so could I splice the correct pug into my module or do I need to get a module for a 2005 suburban? Thanks for all your help, I've gotten a lot of great from them
Not sure. I will take a look at the wiring and get back to you.
Hello Mike. You will need to get a connector for that 05 pedal. Wire colors are the same but the pin locations are different. Pin location B Purple , C Lt Blue, D Tan, G White w/black stripe, F dark blue, E brown. Thanks Jerry
@@UglyTruckExperience Ok, thanks for the help
@@UglyTruckExperience One more question, the 2005 pedal has 9 pins and the 2007 has 6, are 3 of them not used?
There might me 9 male pins in the connector at the pedal sensor but from the wiring diagrams I am looking at only 6 are used.
Algorithm boosting comment! Great job!
🤣🤣 We ❤ the algorithm!
Are you ls swapping the tr6 in the background? You might have to get a pilots license if you do!
No, but that would be wild! 🚀🚀🚀
What scan tool are you using?
I'm not sure if you can purchase just the tool without a subscription to the shop program, but it's from AllData. It's a Bluetooth OBD2 reader and a tablet. Thanks for watching! --Emily
Question why not just weld original pedal to the drive by wire on a custom hinge so its exactly where it's supposed to be and still have original pedal look ? Personally I think it would be only semi challenging to disassemble and make a new pedal lever that uses old pedal parts. I like the look of some of the older pedals vs new.
A person could do that as long as you have a welder. We try to show a solution that helps a larger majority of people. In this case you could do all of the work, get the pedal sitting where you like and run it to a shop and have it welded solid. We have done that with the original pedal. Same work just ends up looking different. Thanks WSK
@@UglyTruckExperience I'm buying my first parts car for the engine and transmission it's a 2004 dohc 5.4 4v Lincoln navigator that have PCM issues early into the vehicles life but beyond warranty. I currently have 2003 Tahoe 4.8l and 2004 Ford expedition with 5.4l 2v sohc. My plan is to use heads etc from DOHC and order a m122 a supercharger load pcm tune of 2007 Shelby mustang gt500. Since engine is same 5.4 dohc as navigator tune should work. Ford made a SVT Thunder which was a supercharged 5.4l dohc expedition but only made one in generation before 2003 would be nifty to make my own version of that rare vehicle.
That sounds like a pretty interesting project. Let us know how it is going. Thanks again
Why not use the 1995 Chevy Diesel Pedal and swap 2 wires? A lot easier!
I have not found a part number for a complete pedal for these older diesels. If you happen to have a part number for one I would love to try one. Thanks
Correction, I found one. I have one ordered and will check it out.
@@UglyTruckExperience any updates on the diesel pedal thanks
We have had some experience with that diesel pedal now, and we definitely don't recommend them. We will have an upcoming video where we remove one of those and talk about why. Thanks for your question!
@@UglyTruckExperience awesome thanks for the update, Have a great Sunday Funday
😎😎
Thanks for joining us for the premiere!
I see you broke 3k subscribers, millions right around the corner. Maybe a "The Jerry Way" shirt also.......Too bad one of those c10 truck shows isn't closer, those are your people
We did! 🎉🎉 And we have some pretty cool shirt designs in the works! We're pretty lucky... there's a C10 show in Springfield, Mo every year and they are great folks. There's another one in KC, but we haven't been able to check it out yet. Maybe we'll find one in Minnesota and make it a road trip! 😁 Thanks for all your support! --Emily
I'm fighting with the brakes on my 72 k10 now. All new parts but didn't know the proportioning valve needs to be locked with a tool to bleed the brakes. I fought with that for hours trying to bleed by myself even bought a vacuum reverse kit. Never fails how easy it is to be humbled. Turns out a $8 tool is the fix. Thanks
Hey, I checked out the store. Mech is nice. For a non computer guy like me it appears the only shirt size is S or XS. I took a minute to click on the store button, then you see all the sizes available. I'm hoping for a quality sticker identical to the circular logo like the front of Jerry's shirt in this episode. I would put it in the back pickup window next to the engine and transmission shop stickers Just a heads up. Still love the content
Hey Bill! For some reason, CZcams thought your comment was spam and hid it from me... 😆 I just added the circle logo sticker to our store! Here's a link! ugly-truck-experience.creator-spring.com/listing/ugly-truck-experience-logo-sti

Thanks for hanging out!
Guy a step bit work way better than drill bits.. u pay A little more. But worth it.. js
We have one on order! 👍 And we've upgraded our drill press since this video too. Thanks for watching, Bobby!
U probably gonna have more than 1! Lol
Awesome video thank you for all the great explination on everything. Did you guys already do the plate giveaways? I'm just starting on my project. I have a beautiful, rust free 1986 c3500 3+3 daully. It currently has a 454/400. I just got a 2005 2500 donor truck with the lq4/4l80e and tore the engine all the way down. I'm taking thr block, heads and crank to the machine shop by the end of the week, just waiting on the valve springs and seals to drop off with it. Going with the stock pcm and wiring harness from psi here in jersey. Gona get the Trans rebuilt as well. I'd love one of those gas pedal plates to go in my build if they are still available. That sticker would probably add a few horses too! Keep up the great work guys. Thanks again!
Thanks so much for your comment! That truck will be sweet with a 6.0! I just sent out our last adapter plate, but we have to make some more very soon. Send us an email at uglytruckexperience@gmail.com with your mailing address and we'll send one your way! We appreciate you watching, and best of luck on your swap! 👋
@@UglyTruckExperience you guys are the best! Thank you so much!
