Eric, Really appreciate that an experienced mechanic such as yourself also shows your mistakes. I really appreciate your honesty and your concern for getting us all the proper information. Plus that truck really ROCKS! Nice work and thank you.
The only thing that matters is how a car makes you feel. And judging on the beaming smile across your face Eric, that truck sure does make you feel good.
Good choice on the Ross pistons and filing those burs off. It really makes a guy a happy to see a son go through trials and succeed in rebuilding his dads truck. Hope you have many more happy miles with your dad. You’ll never forget them.
Great victory on fixing the Chevy truck! The successful test drive and the joy not just Eric felt but all the ETCG fans was priceless! We have to savor the victories because they somehow don’t come often enough. Way to go Eric!!
This video made my day! Seeing the stress and admitting you are " at wits ends". Then seeing the joy! That was a Heck of a lot of work and I'm so glad it paid off! A impressive mechanic you are!!😀👍
@@ericthecarguy .... why dont you use fibre exhaust gasket and soak them in water over night put them on and dry them over night, it worked for my SBCHEV i built it for NO2... i never had any exhaust leaks ...
I just added a vortech v3 centrifugal supercharger to my Sniper injected 1990 K2500. It's unreal. I definitely recommend one! I'm at 9.17:1 static compression on a 355 sbc. I've got trick flow heads and a small comp roller cam. It gives me around 8psi at 5500. Your stroker will run a little less boost with the same pulleys. I'm out of injector so I run a rev limiter at 5252rpms to stay safe. I've got 400lbs/hr of injector with my sniper tbi system. I don't recall how much your Edelbrock system has, but it's enough for a lot of fun with a supercharger!
I switched to 0w-40 Mobil1 motor oil when I added the supercharger for a little better protection under the higher power. Before, I'd used 5w-30 Royal Purple. I couldn't find any 0w-40 RP on the shelf.
That truck sounds awesome. For now, I'm just going to run it N/A. I'll decide on the supercharger after I do some towing with the truck. Thanks for the input and comments.
Seeing Eric so excited at his accomplishment, yet not tooting his own horn like he's the Master really shows how down to earth he is and how humble he was through this learning curve. We all should aspire to his level of modesty. Cheers Eric! Zip~
Always great when it starts and runs after a rebuild! The first start is stressful, its nice to see experienced guys like yourself that still get excited when a big job comes turns out great! Thanks for the videos!
Currently have a 94 K1500 my late father ordered brand new from the factory, she is rusty and got over 500k km on it but I am working on getting it back to how it was before it was a farm truck for 30 years. I am envisioning having that same smile on my face when its all done! Love these videos, keep up the good work!
I’m so happy for you Eric! You can actually see the joy and relief in your smile and attitude while driving the truck. It sounds mean too!! There is nothing more satisfying than fixing your own engine/car stuff. 👍🏼
Hey Eric Kevin here from Australia. Congratulations isn't it a great feeling when it just all comes together like you intended it to be . The video series on Dads Truck has not only been enjoyable but the knowledge your sharing has been extremely instrumental in getting my own project up to where it is today . Thankyou. ✌ Peace.
Here's an equation for you; Eric The Car Guy=Tenacity... I've been following this long, frustrating trek of yours and a smile came to my face when I observed the test drive. I admire your forging ahead and figuring out the root cause of the problem. Great work!
Of all the video you’ve busted your ass to produce, the best moment of all, is genuine smile and joy you exuded over the success of this build. I felt happy for you, just feeling your joy. Congrats on a job well done.
It's so cool that you've ironed all the issues out. It can be VERY disheartening to have to go back into a job you thought was complete... The plus side is we all learned a great deal from the experience because you shared it with us! So thanks for that!
The joy on your face when you hit the gas shows all of the journey was worth it. The initial build, the rebuild and of course the final test drive. My youngest son and I always enjoy watching your videos. My son keeps asking "think he'll do more with the Element?"
Way to come back Eric, now thats one healthy sounding small block chevy-!! About my favorite engine since I was young. I was a mechanic back in the early 70's through late 80's.
I've been watching your videos since the beginning. I've always worked on my own vehicles and your videos have helped me in some of those repairs. I'm currently replacing the engine in my wife's Chevy trailblazer. I'm a gearhead I've owned multiple cars and trucks I can't leave them stock except for my daily driver. I love the Fairmont series and your dad's truck is awesome. Have fun stay dirty
He shows that even the best of mechanics make mistakes and determination to render and fix such mistakes honest man I like that I respect you for that as well.
Nice tear down, analysis and rebuild. Your CR seems right for a NA engine on pump gas. I’m puzzled by today’s controversy on the internet about shaving the intake manifold when the block is decked or the heads milled. The old school maxim was to ALWAYS mill the intake when the block or heads have been milled to lower the head/intake surface. Always!
Congrats on getting everything sorted out! I'm also running Pro-Flo 4 and have been very happy with their customer service. I've occasionally had trouble getting my tablet to reconnect to my ECU as well, but I found the best fix has been to close the Etuner app and then re-open it. It links back up right away.
Great job Eric! Just seeing that enthusiasm and smile on your face is priceless. We all know the feeling of despair then sheer happiness when facing trials and tribulations and fixing them during projects! It brings me great joy to see that you figured it out, fixed it and enjoying it .
Amazing! Ive been watching this playlist on your dads truck for about 7 hours now. The suspense was just driving me to watch it all until you solved the issue. Became an instant subscriber. Now i know a little on what it takes and the issues one could run into. Thank you 🙏
I do know that feeling. Glad to see you finally got there yourself. I've been following this entire build process as I have a 93 Silverado myself. Same kind of thing just in reverse. I bought the truck 22 years ago and will pass it on to my son soon. Thanks again and enjoy...
NICE! Sounds friggin great! I remember that same feeling when I got my '71 C20 crate engine dialed in, and also when I completely restored my '74 Yamaha RD350 2-stroker. Had to do alot of painstaking timing and jetting tweaks on the bike, but once I got it right, that front wheel didn't touch the ground until I shifted to the next gear. 😁 Congrats, Eric! 👍🍻
Eric, the sheer amount of tears of Joy you shed while driving your truck are just beyond words. They say men don't cry, but we all do, if you know what to look for. /s But seriously, I am glad that you got your truck back. I felt the same way when I finally got my CRX running after years of sitting. P.S. Nice Fast And the Furious reference.
Bravo, Eric!! What an incredible journey that you have come to this point! Through the failures and successes I have seen, I have learned so much from you in your builds, your repairs, your admission on various mistakes, because you're human, and the expertise through your experience as EricTheCarGuy. Here's to many more build projects, and repair videos! Cheers!
You have been absolutely helpful in many Honda related things for myself and a friend, and you are again going to be helpful with my friend's newest project: Doing the timing belt and water pump on a 2007 Acura TL :) This all said, it is nice to see you working on a 1990s Chevy truck, and every time you work on this one, it makes me want one..... Edit: Ok, the sound alone now makes me BADLY want a Chevy truck......
Been a fan since the get go Eric love your expertise and professionalism with your channel. You’ve come a long way baby, as SMA says! Yeah dad’s truck does rock!! Peace my friend ✌️😎🙏
Two things. I am not a gear head. But that damn engine is beautiful. Damn! Like a piece of jewelry. Second, you look so pumped. Nice. Your joy is contagious!
Glad you sorted it. I know what it feels like when something goes wrong after building an engine I spent a fortune building my V8 and it dropped a valve seat after only 200 miles destroyed 2 pistons and all had to be rebalanced. But there was a plus side I managed to fit some stage 3 racing heads to replace the ones I built it with so more HP.
FANTASTIC!! you are the reason I do my own mechanics, you bring the fun back to the wrenches with great success in all my projects on the TL. Currently building my J32A3, heads done shortblock at the machine shop. Thank you very much for all your great videos, you save me thousands of dollars. Enjoy that beautiful running truck Eric. 🤘
One thing that, and this may sound weird, makes an engine sound healthy to me, is when you let off the gas, the fuel cuts and you can just listen to the mechanical sounds the engine makes, including the little metallic "wirrrr" noise of the pistons in the block(most notably on dynos). I gotta say Eric, that this one sounds right, no weird noises when you let of the gas or accelerate, smooth sound of the acceleration. I'd say bump up the timing in stages and "feel" it out a little. Some people ask why we spend months under the hood or the amount of money we spend on some of our cars, well, 17:45 and onward is why, exactly why.
Much better piston selection I see you got away from the hyper technic pistons... it’s really too bad your Machinist zero decked your block anyway it’s done and over... I would still pull out the PCV valve while the engine is running make sure no oil is splashing up I don’t trust that little valve cover baffle inside... Pretty good Eye you saw the sharp threads inside the combustion chamber....I like to see that you actually went out there and hammered it I do the same thing if it’s going to hold it’s going to hold.. well now you have an excuse to put a supercharger on there one day good job Eric .
Hey Eric I understand I got my 84 GMC moving yesterday it broke a belt and with his streamly overheating but I did get it where I needed it and all I can say is I got my truck back have a blessed day peace
Man this video really made me happy. I finally finished assembly of my engine and I'm ready to drop it in. Its been about 2 months since I last drove my camaro and I'm really exited about the first start but very nervous at the same time.
Wow Eric that's great and the engine sounds like it had more juice in it. I saw you looking around to make sure the law man wasn't around. Keep up the good work!! Love your videos!!
Great to see that you have the problem solved. It makes you sick when you put so much effort into something you care about and it isnt right afterwards. I found this out firsthand on an old truck I am trying to fix, that was originally my wife's grandfather's truck. I cant figure out what's wrong and it's really discouraging. I'm sure time and money could solve it but dont have much of either right now.
eric: step on the gas
dads truck engine: making good noises
eric: *happiness noises*
Eric, Really appreciate that an experienced mechanic such as yourself also shows your mistakes. I really appreciate your honesty and your concern for getting us all the proper information. Plus that truck really ROCKS! Nice work and thank you.
That test drive is the most wholesome thing I’ve seen in awhile. Good job Eric!
Agreed, he seemed very happy :)
Eric, I love how purdy that engine bay looks. You’ve done a fantastic job!
Thank you!
It is a beautiful engine bay let alone truck, one of the cleanest obs chevys I've seen on you tube that's for sure
THIS: 17:47 right there is what keeps me motivated to fix my own cars. Eric, thanks for posting that scene - that really made my day.
You can’t help but smile when he’s out test driving the truck.
The joy we get with the results of a long project is my daily motivation. Great job man
The only thing that matters is how a car makes you feel. And judging on the beaming smile across your face Eric, that truck sure does make you feel good.
Yes, yes it does. Thanks for the comment.
@@ericthecarguy Im glad to see you happy and enjoying your truck!
now I hope I can get my caddy on the road one day
When you turn on your car, does it return the favor?
Ariyana Dumon Yes it does.
@@ericthecarguy then you're doing it right my friend!
You know what I love so far? You have such a clean truck and engine bay and you don’t let it sit in a garage collecting dust like a lot of people do
Good choice on the Ross pistons and filing those burs off. It really makes a guy a happy to see a son go through trials and succeed in rebuilding his dads truck. Hope you have many more happy miles with your dad. You’ll never forget them.

@@ericthecarguy .... why dont you use fibre exhaust gasket and soak them in water over night put them on and dry them over night, it worked for my SBCHEV i built it for NO2... i never had any exhaust leaks ...
@@ericthecarguy Now I have to know where did you get the green things for your tool cart casters?
I just added a vortech v3 centrifugal supercharger to my Sniper injected 1990 K2500. It's unreal. I definitely recommend one! I'm at 9.17:1 static compression on a 355 sbc. I've got trick flow heads and a small comp roller cam. It gives me around 8psi at 5500. Your stroker will run a little less boost with the same pulleys. I'm out of injector so I run a rev limiter at 5252rpms to stay safe. I've got 400lbs/hr of injector with my sniper tbi system. I don't recall how much your Edelbrock system has, but it's enough for a lot of fun with a supercharger!
I switched to 0w-40 Mobil1 motor oil when I added the supercharger for a little better protection under the higher power. Before, I'd used 5w-30 Royal Purple. I couldn't find any 0w-40 RP on the shelf.
That truck sounds awesome. For now, I'm just going to run it N/A. I'll decide on the supercharger after I do some towing with the truck. Thanks for the input and comments.
Love seeing your elation after all your hard work. Makes me smile.
Seeing Eric so excited at his accomplishment, yet not tooting his own horn like he's the Master really shows how down to earth he is and how humble he was through this learning curve. We all should aspire to his level of modesty. Cheers Eric! Zip~

I’m so happy for you Eric! You can actually see the joy and relief in your smile and attitude while driving the truck. It sounds mean too!! There is nothing more satisfying than fixing your own engine/car stuff. 👍🏼
As the smile on your face grew so did mine. It was easy to share in your joy, thanks for taking me along for the ride.
Seeing him happy really made my day, congrats!!

I've been following this long, frustrating trek of yours and a smile came to my face when I observed the test drive. I admire your forging ahead and figuring out the root cause of the problem. Great work!

When you work hard on something it actually works out = best feeling in the world
Well done - it's always nice to see a project come to a good conclusion.

Oh Eric... she sounds so sweet as she barks second gear and reaches for the redline.... Congrats on an excellent rebuild!!
Eric, you look like one very happy man! Congratulations on completing the truck and getting it the way you want it to be! Enjoy the ride.
Congratulations, it's a great feeling when a plan comes together!
Way to come back Eric, now thats one healthy sounding small block chevy-!! About my favorite engine since I was young. I was a mechanic back in the early 70's through late 80's.
Nice the fast and the furious reference!!! Your truck is awesome man!!!
Man, that first rip felt so good to hear... congratulations! great job!
Thank you!
got to love that wide open throttle growl . good work Eric , , she sounds much happier
I’ve used those rings in several 5.7 Chevy rebuilds. I love them. Zero oil consumption.
Yea, they seem to be working out well for me as also. Thanks for the comment.
I have also used those rings. While the vehicle itself is not in great shape, the rings have been great.
Oblithian
Engines are the gem.
We deal with crap cars to get great engines. Such is life.
I've used them on a number of engines and they've worked just fine.
I am going to get my Jeep back - after sensing the joy with you - it's now a must do priority for me
Gotta love getting a machine running well. Just finally got all the bugs out of my old mustang this week after 2 years of work. Congrats!
Congratulations to you and the Mustang!
@@ericthecarguy Thanks! I seem to be collecting 90's Fords that need some love. haha
Nice call on the rough edges on the combustion chamber. 100% agree that thin metal could have got red hot and caused the detonation.
Have really enjoyed these past 2 videos. Has to be a great feeling tearing it apart finding the issue, and it all came together.
I've been watching your videos since the beginning. I've always worked on my own vehicles and your videos have helped me in some of those repairs.

Amazing! Ive been watching this playlist on your dads truck for about 7 hours now. The suspense was just driving me to watch it all until you solved the issue. Became an instant subscriber. Now i know a little on what it takes and the issues one could run into. Thank you 🙏
To be honest. I've been watching your videos for a long time, I've never seen you so happy before. You deserved this. Great job man.
I love seeing how happy you are getting her back on the road and all fixed!!! Running good!!
17:49 is the feeling you get when you accomplish something that you never thought you could.
Good job Eric,glad you got the old girl fixed,all the best bro
4:47 OMG timlaps of eric . FINALLY THE DREAM CAME TRUE
To see the final result was worth the trip. Great engine building experience. Preparing to build a stroker out of my 350ci in 87 vette
Those full throttle runs sounded great! Good looking engine too. Happy for you.
Really happy it's up and running, and running well. The noise that engine makes is superb!
I do know that feeling. Glad to see you finally got there yourself. I've been following this entire build process as I have a 93 Silverado myself. Same kind of thing just in reverse. I bought the truck 22 years ago and will pass it on to my son soon. Thanks again and enjoy...
Why would anyone thumbs down this video?!? Great job! Dads truck lives on!
Well done Eric..... you deserve that win.
Follow up after watching the whole video...DANG that engine sounds so sweet when you floored it!! 🤘 congrats sir,!! Yes, I was elated for you as well.
NICE! Sounds friggin great! I remember that same feeling when I got my '71 C20 crate engine dialed in, and also when I completely restored my '74 Yamaha RD350 2-stroker. Had to do alot of painstaking timing and jetting tweaks on the bike, but once I got it right, that front wheel didn't touch the ground until I shifted to the next gear. 😁
Congrats, Eric! 👍🍻
Sounds fantastic and you can see it squat when you floor it. FUN TRUCKIN TIMES
Congrats on getting it back up and ready to roll.
So pumped you got it running correctly! Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with us.
Congratulation with the outcome Eric.😃
A textbook break in, love it.
The engine sounds very nice.
Sounds amazing. Great Job Eric!
Made me smile seeing you get so excited on the test drive

Man, you seem so much happier than the first time you “finished” congrats!!
The first time I finished it I hadn't slept in about 2 months. Thanks for the comment.
I was thinking it didn't sound very good idling but I figured it was the camera. Man it sure does sound good when on the throttle!
I have always loved the sound of a small block when it breathes at wide open throttle. Awesome audio!
Two things. I am not a gear head. But that damn engine is beautiful. Damn! Like a piece of jewelry. Second, you look so pumped. Nice. Your joy is contagious!
Looks like a happy Eric to me! Congratulations. Feels good to see you did it!
Glad you sorted it. I know what it feels like when something goes wrong after building an engine I spent a fortune building my V8 and it dropped a valve seat after only 200 miles destroyed 2 pistons and all had to be rebalanced. But there was a plus side I managed to fit some stage 3 racing heads to replace the ones I built it with so more HP.
Sounds like it all worked out. Thanks for the comment.
I just returned my 10.7 pistons and got 9.8, hoping to hit the low 10s after decking, thanks Eric your the man!
FANTASTIC!! you are the reason I do my own mechanics, you bring the fun back to the wrenches with great success in all my projects on the TL. Currently building my J32A3, heads done shortblock at the machine shop. Thank you very much for all your great videos, you save me thousands of dollars. Enjoy that beautiful running truck Eric. 🤘
No one really caught the comment near the end?!? “You’ve never had your truck..” lol literally laughed out loud to that 😂 great job Eric.
At least he didn't blow the welds on the intake 😄
I was just about to comment on that! lol
And frie the pistons rings lol .😂 love that movie
He was granny shifting not double clutching like he should.
What a busta
Man the sound of those four barrels opening gives me chill bumps what a good sound
thanks for letting me run "shotgun" with you! was a lot of fun!
larry
One thing that, and this may sound weird, makes an engine sound healthy to me, is when you let off the gas, the fuel cuts and you can just listen to the mechanical sounds the engine makes, including the little metallic "wirrrr" noise of the pistons in the block(most notably on dynos).

I was happy just seeing u drive something u put your heart into and it work the way u wanted it to. Great job much deserved
I did feel your enjoyment Eric.
Reminded me of the joy of some of my first major fixes.
Maaaaan I sure hope I can have that same experience with my truck in the next month or so..I WANT MY TRUCK BACK!!!!! Thanks Eric!
Glad to see you got the truck up and running great!
Awesome!
