LT, a little trick I have learned, when using a hole saw on plastic, after the pilot bit drills into the material, switch the drill to reverse. It doesn't take much longer, and the amount of debris created (shavings, etc) is dramatically reduced. I build police cars for a living, and installing strobes into the lights presents the issue of little shavings that you cannot remove (and are usually visible....)- that's the work around I came up with.

Hey man so glad I stumbled across your channel. Not only did I watch you on tv a few years back im from Maine aswell currently living in southern Maine I also lived in the county but Im currently doing some small stuff to my 8.1. Love seeing this content and seeing the Maine lobstah sign. Keep it up bud!
Good call on the hotwire kit. I did the Walbro 470 & Racetronix hotwire kit on my V6 Typhoon. It's a nice kit. I don't have anywhere near the cubes you do but I do plan on running E85 & close to 30psi though.
That kid took that body pin out like a champ! Looks like you got a good helper there. You're doing exactly what I've been wanting to do with my 2000 Escalade, keep up the great work!
I have an 07 that I’ve had to replace a fuel tank pressure sensor. I ground it easy to losen the passenger bed bolts, remove drivers bolts, and then get a 2x4 to prop up the bed tilted to the passenger side. Easy for one man to do.
Hey LT! I’m glad to hear you are pursuing your dreams! I’ve loved watching you on Power Nation! I hope to jump after my dreams someday soon, you are an inspiration!
Hey LT, they make a pod that replaces the top of the steering column. I think that would look a bit cleaner than drilling into the dash, or bezel. Love that you incorporate your son into things, those are memories little guy will remember for life. I’d give anything if my old my was still here. Anywho love the content love the content brother. Glad I found this channel sub 10k, and really happy we get to see a personal side of you, & a more detailed complete part of the build instead of the show ending and next show saying “yea since last time we’ve replaced all the axles, threw that old 350 out completely LS swapped it with a 4L80” and that should get you caught back up. All the big stuff is easy, the small details are what get a lot of people. Love to see the way you approach things, and decisions you make based on experience of been there done that and will not again lol. Excited to see this channel grow man, hope you and your family had a great holiday season, and that 2021 is better than the S*** SHOW 2020 was 😂😂. Until next time 🤘🏼✌🏼
Wow i wish i watched this video FIRST before doing my turbo Silverado fuel system. I was unaware (learning) about higher current and it overpowering the stock wiring, also i ran two 320lph pumps and im now switching from the two to a single.
Ditto on bringing in the next generation! Not really a fan of “terrorizing” a residential neighborhood, keep the spinning tires for a less crowded venue... Great channel, great project, looking forward to the race results.
i didn't like to replace my fuel pump but when it came time i used the tilting of the bed method. Didn't take the whole thing off and just tilted it to the side.
I’ve been fighting fueling ever since I upgraded my pump. I almost got a fuel cell kit but i actually ordered a Holley Hydramat instead, I have to install it but I believe it’ll solve my issue, you may consider as well if you get fueling issues after it’s all done up
i had thought aboutt Hydramat actually, just wasnt sure if it would connect to the Walbro pump. I guess I gotta look more into it if there are any problems
Hey man, this video was right on time, I’m getting ready to redo my fuel system to support the 85 for my LSA blower and modifying the stock bucket really concerned me as well. Check out the Holley Hydromatt, looks like a great option for us to prevent the fuel from sloshing around and running the fuel pump dry.
I re-pined the stock connector and had to go back in and replace the connector with a new sealed delphi style and run power and ground through a grommet in the top of the hat that I sealed. Hope yours doesn't have any issues.
I've got a GMS 340LPH pump. It's still the stock size so I didn't need to modify anything. But I'm also not trying to make 1000whp. FuelLab makes a pwm pump where it adjusts the pulse widths to give you more fuel flow when you need it. I'm not sure how seamless the pressure is. You'd think it would need to see some sort of a pressure drop to signal ramping up the pump. Maybe it monitors the outflow back in the return line. If the return line flow is high, it turns down the pump, if the flow is lower, it ramps up the pump. Regardless, Im not sure i would want my fuel pressure to drop when I hammer the throttle.
@@martyengland1964 mine is a granatelli motorsports. But any 340lph should work for you. The box on mine originally said 82-92 f body but it's the same size as any in-tank pump.
Hell yah dude can you explain your HP tuners set up in one of your videos in some detail. I love the content and its cool to see your son helping out cheers
I did mine similar, only thing is the pass thru will eventually cause you issues. my pump has been in 3 different trucks now and still works fine i had to run wires directly from the pump out the tank map sensor hole to a relay and havent had issues yet.
Lawrence lt tolman big fan of ur channel love the all videos very good explaining ,have a question on GM SUV/Car 280 Fuel Pump Wiring Harness is that only for turbo or will it work also on n/a walbro 450? Or factory will work on my end? Thx in advance
Great video but I wish you would have shown just exactly how you mounted that pump with the safety wire. Great job showing part #'s. Most TH-camrs don't mention or show that.
@@LawrenceTolman do you have any still shots of it or maybe some unedited video? This is my next step on my list and if you could help me understand just how to mounted it inside the bucket would help. Thanks!
you aren't going to have ant issues from the looks of what you put together there. but if you have any fuel starvation issues the quickest guaranteed way to remedy that is to pop that sock off and replace it with holley hydramat and leave the assembly as is. they work great and completely get rid of temporary fuel slosh starvation. they are on the pricey side but have some good budget sizes that will have good reach in your tank and flow plenty for your power even if you convert to e85 later.
For the guys doing the TBSS intake swap and using the corvette regulator it hovers around 58 psi. and that uses the same size return on the trucks. so i figure 60 psi at idle is fine.
Really enjoy watching your videos. You do a good job of explaining things. How big is the garage, you work in? I like the layout of it. Keep up the good work!
I feel like your day job and family are getting in the way of providing me with my automotive content fix. Please do away with these distractions to better suit my life.
question does the harness listed work with the none e85 vers of the 450 or is there a seperate one to get. looking to do the swap into a 2000 silverado 5.3 end goal is close to high 3 or 400 hp nothing crazy and remain n/a all motor. been following you for a very long time loving it all.
At around 15 min it looks like you have that in tank fuel line installed that was supplied with the install kit, did you end up going with that? I saw it looks like you had some rubber in-tank line connected to the pump earlier in the video? Im trying to decided if its worth ordering some submersible line and waiting for it to ship, or just use the supplied line in the kit even though its a little long and just try to route it the best i can...
Ahh yes. Nothing better by starting off Sunday morning with some coffee and watching a new upload by the 🐐
glad I could help out! Thanks for watching!

It's good to see you bringing the youngster into the garage to help. Best way is always to start them when they are young.
A new shop apprentice. Very nice, start them when thay are youngsters. Planting the seed of a gearhead. He will always remember help Dad.
i hope so! I had a blast with my dad, and its cool to pass it along
What a dad sharing the knowledge with his son
Hot rodding is a family thing! Love that!
31.4. Your attention to detail is paying off
its growing nicely
6:37 two taps for good measure. Love seeing your boy involved, gives me hope for mine
Let’s go! Good start to my morning!
Nice to see the future owner of Ugly Truck working on it with you!
Great to see your son in the shop working with you. Cool project.
Thanks 👍 its a lot of fun to work with him
Good on you for getting your little buddy out in the shop with you! Can’t wait to do that with mine
its a great way to spend time together
Love the way you got your son to do some cooperative work / learning
Love the kid interaction. My son is 6 and he loves to ride in the Mustang. I hope to pass my knowledge on!
All of everything in this great video my favorite part of it was Yes having ur son out helping you I have 4 myself so it's great to see father and son
I have my own auto repair shop in Wisconsin and I am very jealous of how easy that fuel pump lock ring loosened Lol
their pretty good for the most part here in oklahoma but when i was in northern wyoming, i know what you mean for sure
That's because everything rusts really bad by us.
These trucks have a plastic tank so no matter how rusted the ring is it comes off easy.

Look at the cheap and labor help. Great videos they are helping me alot on my project
What a great way to start a Sunday morning 👍
Love the videos LT always looking forward to watching them!
Do glad u made this video. I have the same exact parts to do my fuel system but just haven’t done them yet!! Thank you

I'll have to keep an eye on that
@@LawrenceTolman yup, luckily I noticed it while the truck was idling, not in boost.. unluckily, I had to drop the tank again. 😅

Wow, thanks!
I really hope that's not offending you I've said it 3 times now but I mean it much more personal touch
3rd option for fuel is to get a diesel sump and keep the 450 in tank and add a 2nd pump on a pressure switch or a hobbs switch.
I thought about a diesel sump, but the fuel tank barely rubs on my trailer as I load it up, so that would get hung up.
