I've been ls swapping my squarebody for almost a year now 😂 y'all are really doing a number on my self confidence
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.
NO BIGGIE IT you WILL GET DONE I STARTED MY 79 2WD JIMMY WENT through stomach cancer ♋ 💪 now I'm bk at it just need to crank it now 💪💪💪
Great informative video. Lots of knowledge in that garage and it shows. Thanks for posting and keep up the hard work. Coming soon pecos
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!
Great video 👍 thanks for sharing.. can't wait for hearing fire up
Coming soon!
So stoked! Can’t wait to hear it fire up!
Coming soon!
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
haha that's awesome! Hope you didn't watch those first few. I had NO IDEA what I was doing. haha
Great info and video yet again👍
Thanks, Allan!
That vortec cover looks way better in the square body than it ever did in a suburban, Tahoe, or 1500.👍👍
haha I like that!
I would of loved to see hooking up everything in the engine bay that’s what scares me the most about ls swapping my truck
Nice!! Thanks for the video.
You're welcome!
It's coming along nicely. Another great video 👍
Thanks, Shane!
Looking great guys. Shes so close!!!!
Oh, it's coming soon!
sub'd after the barn find vid! cool channel man just ordered a sticker too. keep it up
Sweet! Thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing man! Cool friends! Do a wimd vid on that 52 for sure!
Yes sir! That's the plan.
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.
Where is the follow up video on that 3100 left us hanging man. Can't be doing that
Great Job guys
Thank you!
Great Job Guys!
Thank you!!
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.
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
Awesome I just swap my 83 c10 and I love it
It makes a world of difference in the drivability!
I always use the stock air intake system. I put the battery box on the Dr side like stock set up
@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
Hi guys thanks for the videos.
Do u have the part number for the wire harness???
What time do I need to come pick up my fitty two?
79 dodge owner here. I think I'm addicted to old Van's and trucks.
Awesome! It's a sickness but a good one.
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
What kind of wiring harness do I need for 5.3 ls swap I'm using a older manual transmission and we're can I get it thanks
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?
Where and how did you mount the ecu behind the glovebox?
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
Alex makes that wiring look easy .
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 .
@@jonsmith7949 Oh, we are, buddy. He's the guy.
What wire are you using to turn on your ac compressor with a stand alone harness?
Did the Tejas motor mount clear the long tubes with out modifications
Hello from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 fan
Thanks so much!
What size breaker did you use between the battery and the distribution block?
Cool TRUCK
Did y’all have to do any major work to the drive shaft?
What size circuit breaker is good for a square body ls swap
Playin a bit of catch-up on the Pecos viddy's! I'm so excited to see/hear it come alive!
Oh, it's good, Jason. So good.
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.
What amp is the circuit breaker before the junction box?
hey bro any info on how to wire ac using a psi harness in square body ?
Did you use the donor vehicle radiator and shroud or the stuck C10 stuff?
I have a 77 Chevy Blazer I'm doing a LS swap where can I get a gas tank for the new fuel pump
Robbie awesome content bro ! Hey bud 11k my bro
Thanks, man! Looking like it's about to be 12k. I'm so pumped!
Were you able to use the factory vortec/ls belt drive and accessories set up ? I have been considering this swap in my 77 c10 TIA
Yes, when using the Tejas trans mount and motor mounts, you can maintain that factory set-up.
What size breaker are you guys using?
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
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
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!
Sweet! Thanks. The harnesses we use are PSI and can be found here www.psiconversion.com.
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.
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!!
Yeah, me too! And I love your content. keep it up!
Do you know what size that circuit breaker was?
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.
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS thanks for getting back to me
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
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 .
Soon Pecos will ride again!
hint hint: he already is. Next video coming soon.
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS I need to get a little Chevy truck group down here in northeast Florida.
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.
厉害
Do you by chance have a parts number for the circuit breaker and distribution block he used?
JB57 power junction block
MF15 150 Amp fuse
TB-6 terminal block
MF-50 fuse holder

Thanks Robbie for having Alex in this video. I have emailed him about some PCM tuning for my projects. Here is a link to my 67 C10 LQ9 and 62 Grand Prix LQ4 swaps. th-cam.com/video/XwI_oSl2cVg/w-d-xo.html
Very cool! He's a good guy.
Hey I was wondering what kind of bulbs I need to get for the side markers on my 69 c10? I cant seem to find an answer online haha
I honestly have no idea. Gotta be some info out there on www.67-72chevytrucks.com

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.
Nice.... Hey bud what's the part number on single fuel rail thx
Standby. Getting it from TTR.

Such a helpful group of guys
What size breaker was used
On the 4x2 wood blocks how high
Can you provide the tuners information? I have a 59 Apache project underway
Gary Cooper @walkertuned
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
Installed 5.3 into my 91 now when I hook up battery lights flash and doors lock. You ever run into this issue?
Sure haven't, but I've never swapped an OBS
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS Found issue truck had previous alarm system on it had to unhook it.
How much did mr. Walker charge to come do the wire harness
Really didn't tell me anything but a thumb up
Can u do a step by step on the wiring and bulkhead
We're going to get with Alex and make it happen.
Is the driver's side battery tray a re-pop or junkyard item? Thanks!
This one is a repop but the factory auxiliary trays came in the c30
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS Where did you get it? I can't find a source for repops on the driver's side.
@@midwestcustoms8587 got mine from LMC a while back.
I used a howlle wiring harness
👍 😎 👊
so i wanna do a 2015 coyote swap on my 1993 ford f150 XL V6, and does anyone know how much it is to swap engines?
No idea on the coyotes, but I doubt it's inexpensive.
Dat Boi it's a inline 6 not a v6 there's a difference.
If your asking you don’t have enough money
👍🏼
It would be nice if you made a 1996 chevy silverado obs ls swap in channel
Not a bad idea at all
NICE EPISODE... ARE Y'ALL GONNA MAKE IT TO CAFFEINE AND OCTANE, THIS SUNDAY?
No sir. Not exactly my kinda show haha and it's so early. Plus I'm on vacation.
What ngk plug you use
TR66 i believe
Are you in Pecos Texas?
No, we're in GA. Pecos is the truck's name.
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.
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS will a boosted factory stock 5.3 at last a naturally aspirated motor?
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS you have to boost a 5.3 liter ls to match a naturaly aspirated big block.
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS a 454 doesn't belong in there
I have a buddy that got rid of his 496 to convert over to a LS......hmmmmm
Fire it up. Lol.
Stay tuned!
Check out current project
What LS Mounts did he use?
Tejas Steelworks. All of the info is in part 1 of this series. th-cam.com/video/mXxMOnq9ONw/w-d-xo.html
Thx
@@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
how does he like that plastic mastercylinder
Unsure honestly. We haven't even talked about it. It was on the truck when he got it.
What did you use for a radiator?
This is the stock radiator with a modified (ie. trimmed) factory shroud.
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS thank you sir, getting to that nonsense with my k10😁
what is part number for condenser?
No idea. It's the factory ac condenser for the '01 Yukon 5.3.
First comment 💯 notification squad

The wiring has me stuck need help
It’s a bear. That’s why we call in Alex to help us out
All wire and no fire.
You get all the fire you need in the next video! :)
Warching you plug in a bunch of wires is boring as hell! Wiring , though essential, is generally the most boring part of working on engines.
