How To Put Together AN Hoses, Army Navy Lines, Braided Lines, Or Whatever You Call Them By Hand
Come check out my channel to see more about my hillbilly lifestyle, 99-13 GM Trucks and SUVs, and modifications of them (no rims and rough country lifts). This includes Rusty my 2000 1500 Silverado LM7 Twin Turbo build and The Family Toter 2011 Suburban LC9 to be supercharged.... someday.
Some interesting -an fittings and tools that I either have used or need
Earl's hardline 5/16" to -6 an. Makes it so you can just cut a trans line and change it to an.

Magnetic bench vice adapter that does make cutting and fitting easier.

The adjustable wrenches that you should use to do this, but that's for looks and these cost a little much for what you need them for.

Tuning your PCM After Doing a Clutch to Electric Fan Swap on 1999-2006 Chevrolet and GMC Truck & SUV
This is focused on the GMT-800 series with the P01 PCM. This does include some V6 and a few trucks, cargo vans, and suvs from prior to the GMT-800 aka when they went to LS based motors.
Check out my channel for more content based around GMT-800 and 900 trucks and their LS based engines. Sorry now poker chip rims on this channel.

P.S. It has been my goal while on a leave of absence from work to hit monetization, or at least have 20 videos posted to have a content base. My goal in this last week I am off is to do a quality video a day to help get my content to that level of being worthy to do this for a living. Thank you all for your support so far as it was hard to even get to this point here. I have learned a lot, and I feel like my quality and attention to detail keeps improving. If you have any comments on what I could do to improve your experience watching the videos I am open.

How To Pick the Right Cold Air Intake! Stage One: Air Intakes
I am not trying to tell you to buy anything, but here are the links to what I showed you in this video. Again my opinion isn't to sell anything, but rather inform you based on experience and research on the topic. Yes, there are gains that can be made by a cold air intake, but is the money worth it for a piece of pipe and a heat shield?

I know there is more to this topic than what I could cover in a video, but I am still learning to try to make these videos shorter and sweeter. One important thing I didn't talk about on this video was pcv systems, and how some models use a tube on you intake pipe while others go on either the throttle body or behind. For a daily driver without serious tune and modifications, you want to keep this system intact. I will make a video about pcv valves and systems soon along with catch cans and baffling on vavle covers.

The History of the LS part 2 The Decisions Made and Legends Born
How to Build High-Performance Chevy LS1/LS6 V-8s https://amzn.to/3VllHvh
Be sure to check back for part 3 to come out in the next several weeks. I know I only do this style of video for this series, and they are actually the hardest ones to make. Loads of research and time spent editing to give you a presentation about the engine I feel passionate about simply because I know the engine pretty well as I have either owned, driven, or have been driven by the LS series engines since I was in middle school and was driven around in a gmt-800 suburban. Please subscribe, and help me grow this channel so I can continue to share what I know about this engine and hopefully help you out.
Please note I have two types of videos. The ones I call myself an idiot and tell you not to do what I am doing, and then this one where I am actually sharing knowledge or advice. The more serious videos like this are under my "About the LS" playlist so please check them out.

Oil Pressure Droppin, and a Cylinder Ain't Popp'n 30 Minutes from Home!!!
Part one here https://youtu.be/2JjtvL9PPfo
On a highway far far away earlier today (kinda I mean it's the city). My engine light pops on and the oil pressure drops by half. What will happen? I obviously made it home since I cut out the part where I was at the zone trying to confuse the guy at the counter by asking for everything by RPO codes. "I need an oil filter for a GMT-900 LC9"...."What"..."Is that your lifted Chevy with the flames and the clapping sound parked around the side"..."Yes"..*Intense Headshake*.

And here is a few decent ignition parts
The crap I pulled out - https://amzn.to/3RKNTES
The ones I put in - https://amzn.to/3EvID4S
*not exact as the ones I got came with coils but it is the same wire and plug
Reviews are solid, and the key for me was heat resistance and look.
AIP Electronics store is here https://amzn.to/3CE5oSX and they make plenty of ignition and electronic parts for the America V8s including distributors, plugs, wires, and coils at an affordable cost for solid performance. If you want to invest in higher-end products like Granatelli, Accel, or MSD/Holley, more power to you but it would be wise to spend that price difference on something that matters to produce power like PCM tuning or valvetrain components.

Check Engine Light On In 2011 Suburban, and Basic Overview of HP Tuners VCM Suite. Part 1
To Be Continued...
Yeah, I kinda got hit out of nowhere twice today as the check engine light came on, and I take my first look at a Gen 4 LS and its tune. There are so many sensors, and VVT, DoD, and why the hell is the O2 sensor and MAF not logging anything? I am going to do some research on this, and make a video more about it. I planned on doing a Gen 3 LS tune on a P01, which I have done successfully before, and this opportunity arose that I wasn't ready for. So I just cover what the basics are of the software, and more or less how it gives you full control to do a professional tune, data log, and do anything you want to the check engine light from reading it to just saying it doesn't exist. The MPVI2 that I use does have Bluetooth, not a joke, it is wireless and works on your phone even to data log, but I prefer to hard wire into the PCM. If you want to look into one I have links below for the latest model that lets you data log as a stand-alone unit. All the software comes with it to data log and reads/clear your DTC's (check engine light). It does require licenses to flash your PCM for about $100 per car, and there are bundle deals if you do multiple cars within a family of models and years.

Removing last piece of exhaust and placing trans cooler on Rusty!
I made some progress on the tieing odds and ends up finally cutting the Y-pipe and the last pieces of the old exhaust out, and then mounting the Deral trans cooler up under the hood with clearance in the original location I planned on. I may add louvers on that part of the hood to make sure air flows around it better, but what is important is getting her running again, and then we can worry about the looks.
Be sure to check back often for more content, and please subscribe to help me get this channel over the hump. I am currently working on two series which are my vlog about hillbilly projects and working on the trucks, and the About the LS series which follows the history and engineering of the third and fourth gen Chevy small block, the LS. Keep'er Flyin Brother!

Installing the Dixie horn on Family Toter. Wife said no, but what momma don't know don't hurt momma!
The exact horn I used can be found here https://amzn.to/3SAWCdA
It works surprisingly good for $27 in Chinese horns. The wiring products I use I am are as follows as well. I highly advise getting better butt connectors, and the kit I use is here https://amzn.to/3RjulXR and the sheathing I get that looks like OEM, and is split on the side is https://amzn.to/3rieSgl and has multiple options of size and length. I typically buy a lot, cause it is one of those extra steps that really help clean up your engine bay. I do advise the DEI stuff if you are worried about the wires melting found here https://amzn.to/3dLw3DX of course you need a wire stripper and crimper if you want to do this type of project, and honestly, the cheap ones are the only ones I use. Here are some WORKPRO ones for $8 https://amzn.to/3dOGnuG none of these are direct sponsors, but I do get an affiliate marketing kickback if you decide to purchase them. I am just making my way the only way I know how. It's just a little more than the law will allow.
My wife has no idea I placed this on the Suburban a week later, and the horn works amazingly. You can't ask for better operation as there are many that cost twice as much that have missing notes. Totally adds 10 horsepower, and helps you straighten the curve, and flatten the hill.
I overshare a little, but if you're driving around with a dixie horn you probably have similar feelings about

The History of the LS part 1 The Prologue (Look back to the start of the SBC to the LT)
This is part one of a four-part that is looking at the overall story of the LS engine while my other videos in the About The LS series focus on the engineering and possibilities of the engine. This is just trying to touch on the events that caused General Motors to take action and have to start redesigning their Small Block Platform. Once they started to really redesign the small block it takes off like a rocket, both the redesign and the engine, and will follow up with part two when the decision to go totally away from the original small block design was made.
This video was quite difficult to make as a wannabe creator that is just starting out. Please hit the subscribe button, and I have linked some budget tools that I have used while building Rusty that have helped me be able to do one-off jobs and not spend a fortune. I am not sponsored by these manufacturers, but I do get a small amount of support if you decide to purchase anything.
The tuning software I use is the MPVI2+ by HP Tuners. I have the 2 as the first link, but they just dropped the 3 with added support for more vehicles across both foreign and domestic brands. This isn't a preloaded super chip or bully dog, it is to fully tune your PCM, data log runs at the track, read trouble codes, add electronic fans, adjust transmission shift points and pressure, and even delete sensors for modification done to your engine. There is plenty of support on their website, and their active forum page where you can post your tune and get experienced tuners to give you advice as you learn how to tune. Of course when you cross over to wanting to electronically control boost on an LS turbo set up you may need to spend the big bucks on a Holley Terminator to simplify your wiring harness.

Berryman intake valve & combustion chamber cleaner. I have been using this for years, and it is a step further than using their B-12 Chemtool. It is more invasive as you have to blow the can into your PCV valve or throttle body with the engine running as the fix a flat style can just dump in for about 5 minutes. After you have treated your engine it may bog for a little bit during and right after, but once you run up through the rpms and blow out the foam it is like the engine is brand new. It's one of those first things you do with a new car steps that I like to do, and It always gives me some improvements on how smooth the engine runs after doing it.

Heat Shrink Wire connectors that range from 10 - 22 gauge. I bought three different sets of these before finding these work well, shrink easy, and I feel confident that they stay together with the crimp that I used the super cheaper wire stripper crimp to do with. Same-day shipping for me.
