Man, definitely don't want you to feel that way. We were crunching hard to make this happen for a show in Nashville this weekend. A good plan, parts ordered, and plenty of money do the trick.
I have 85 squarebody. I'm in the process of running my psi conversion wiring. I was wanting ask where the ECM was mounted on Ron's truck? There isn't much room under that dash
Thank you! Really appreciate the kind words. It's amazing how the very few negative ones weigh on you the most and the good ones can become buried. I really appreciate this one!
Love the channel found it friday and think i have watch all but 1 or 2 vids. Really pushing me to start my 69 stepper. It was my dads first vehicle and i caught the c10 fever
Good progress on the install of the LS 5.3 boys.Alex makes it look so easy, me I know nothing about wiring😂, love that 52 3100 of Alex’s🤗 cool cool cool,you will definitely have to do a feature on the that bad boy Robbie
No doubt about it! In my opinion, lots of great info in that video re: wiring. Stuff i never knew or understood. Even more coming in the next one. And yes, the 3100 is going to get all sorts of love.
Thank you! Glad you were able to retrieve it off the door. Alex is a good one. Feel free to message him on instagram or shoot me an email if you don't unitedbytrucks@gmail.com if you don't get him quickly enough.
How about what pins is the ecu using on the air conditioning that keeps the truck idled up when the a/c kicks on. I'm gonna have that problem soon I'm sure. Lol
I looked at their harnesses after I watched. I'm cutting up the old one to save cash. If they have the prints I'll check them out, see if I can't tell what pin exactly it is. They usually just say like, pin 24-a/c single(something vague). Not like, pin 24-this wire will idle up the motor when a/c is requested. Lol
I’m about to start my build, one thing I’m stressing about is if I need the same gas pedal and tac box from donor vehicle, for my drive by wire system.
UNITED BY TRUCKS and another note man, I couldn’t find the tac box , is that an issue? Am I screwed or is that box programmable ? I took a random box out same year just in lost man lol .
Coming very soon! I have a first run bath that were for the giveaway winners and for the Southeast Truck Nationals in two weeks. That said, I'll have more ready for the website shortly after that.
Two Trucks Ron amagine that we have the same name. Appreciate it I am Houston Tx. Gonna have to figure out how I can get the truck to home when I am ready
Question: I hope you read my comment... I have running 1987 Silverado and a running 2003 Silverado 5.3 that I can buy for 900 bucks or use a 5.3 that comes with a transmission that I can buy for around 800. Is there a benefit to buying the running truck for my swap? More work involved if I have to pull the 5.3 from the running truck... Would I be able to use the cooling system from the 2003 truck?
The fact that you know it runs and have every single little sensor etc available to you is reason enough to buy the donor. We used a donor here and we will use a donor on two upcoming trucks getting LS motors.
Awesome, I have a 1982 c10 can you tell what year LS 3 I should get and transmission and do I need a new gas tank thanks I have no experience what so ever on swapping engine but I hope am able to do it.
You pick the motor and trans and go from there. Just make sure that your harness, motor mounts, and throttle body all match your application. the fuel tank could be a stock '87 tank with the efi provisions and then drop in a Walbro 255 tank. We chose to go with a new tank and AN flexible hose, which I recommend the new lines and fittings. They'll make the install much easier.
Where did you get the wire harness for Peco? I'm getting ready to do a 5.3l swap and currently doing homework on getting the harness to work on my C10. Awesome vids!
What did you think about that PSI harness? I used one on my build and wasn't too excited about it. I ended up re-crimping a lot of the terminals. I had several wires come loose when I was installing it. Curious how your harness was. I have to think mine was a fluke, but it did leave a bad taste in my mouth.
Hey, RW! Man, I hate you had that experience with PSI. I've used them on 3 trucks now and never had an issue, other than having to extend the MAF wire with an extension. Alex has used them a ton as well. I would've sen that thing back, but I know how it is when you're crunching. Your truck has really come a long way. I love it!
I'm glad mine was an isolated case. That makes me feel much better. I was pot committed by the time I found the problems, so I ran with it. Great content you've been putting out. I need to step up my game!!
@unitedbytrucks I'm looking at that same fuel tank setup for my 75 Cheyenne, how did TTR "make it work" with those straight fittings vs getting 45 degree ones? Thanks
What’s the cost of an LS swap in a 69 Chevy c10? I just put in a brand new 350 and kind of having regrets. I really want to take advantage of newer tech like remote start
@@banefarooqbey7809 those mounts are nice. I got the mounts, pcm mount, dual fan shroud and soon to order the crossmember they have. They followed up with an email to ask how it shipped and such. Real good stuff
What's so cool about LS's? I'm not trying to put you down, but i can take a big block and get as much power as a blown LS for the same amount of money and it will last twice as long.
andy347495 taking something that doesn’t belong and making it belong. I could argue the price v. power argument all day long but at the end of the day, nothing will outlast an LS. That said, i love them all. And appreciate you tuning in.

Looking great guys. Shes so close!!!!

Yeah, he does!
Maybe we can get him to come to the Truck Farm to wire up Rusty Blue when the time comes or at least to do the tune .

Thank you!!
Did you use the donor vehicle radiator and shroud or the stuck C10 stuff?
I was able to view Walker Performance information off the Truck Door. I totally enjoy your channel
Thank you! Glad you were able to retrieve it off the door. Alex is a good one. Feel free to message him on instagram or shoot me an email if you don't unitedbytrucks@gmail.com if you don't get him quickly enough.
Can u do a step by step on the wiring and bulkhead
We're going to get with Alex and make it happen.
Hey big fan quick question Where did he put his junction block and what did he connect to it aside from The distributor pink cable?
How about what pins is the ecu using on the air conditioning that keeps the truck idled up when the a/c kicks on. I'm gonna have that problem soon I'm sure. Lol
I'll have to inquire with Alex on that but you can likely look at the schematic on www.psiconversions.com
I looked at their harnesses after I watched. I'm cutting up the old one to save cash. If they have the prints I'll check them out, see if I can't tell what pin exactly it is. They usually just say like, pin 24-a/c single(something vague). Not like, pin 24-this wire will idle up the motor when a/c is requested. Lol
It's coming along nicely. Another great video 👍
Thanks, Shane!
Did you have to put new headers on for this swap or could you have used the stock exhaust manifold?
You cannot use stock manifolds without cutting but you can use the TBSS manifolds or just save time/money and run the speed engineering headers.
I saw the Returnless fuel rail part number. Did you replace the metal fuel line or modify that part? Thanks, alot of good info here
Awesome I just swap my 83 c10 and I love it
It makes a world of difference in the drivability!
I’m about to start my build, one thing I’m stressing about is if I need the same gas pedal and tac box from donor vehicle, for my drive by wire system.
Yes you do.
UNITED BY TRUCKS ok hope it’s still there and thanks a lot for your advice couldn’t find anything on any forums. Also love the vids learned a lot!
UNITED BY TRUCKS and another note man, I couldn’t find the tac box , is that an issue? Am I screwed or is that box programmable ? I took a random box out same year just in lost man lol .
Great Job guys
Thank you!
Very nice thx for the video, what’s the part number or a link for the in tank fuel pump pls? Thanks
That one should just be any WIX 255LPH in-tank pump.
What size breaker did you use between the battery and the distribution block?
Hey when wiring an ls swap do you got to rewire the entire truck or how does the ecu connect
No, just connect the 3 or 4 wires with your ls harness to your factory truck harness
I always use the stock air intake system. I put the battery box on the Dr side like stock set up
Where and how did you mount the ecu behind the glovebox?
Hi guys thanks for the videos.
Do u have the part number for the wire harness???
So so you still need the factory engine harness from the engine or does the psi harness replace all of that?
Nope. PSI has all brand new engine and trans harness together. You just have to use factory body harness and tie into new PSI harness
hey bro any info on how to wire ac using a psi harness in square body ?
When will you have some UBT STP style patch hats available on your site?
Coming very soon! I have a first run bath that were for the giveaway winners and for the Southeast Truck Nationals in two weeks. That said, I'll have more ready for the website shortly after that.
How much did mr. Walker charge to come do the wire harness
Really didn't tell me anything but a thumb up
Thanks for sharing man! Cool friends! Do a wimd vid on that 52 for sure!
Yes sir! That's the plan.
