    Thanks for the battery tray idea as well. I'm adding it to my list.

    Try a heat gun on that plastic. Used to do that to my avalanche and it made the plastic look new. Also cheaper than constantly applying a product

    I was able to score a real cherry factory left hand side battery tray from a guy out in Washington. I also bought gauges from him and a few other parts.

    Hello, I'm currently swapping an 84 k10 with a 5.3 and I need help wiring the battery to the red positive box and starter. Do I need to run a battery cable from the battery to that pos stud and then run a cable to my starter from the red box? Thanks for the help

    Hello I enjoyed watching some of your videos, maybe my question is a year late, but you may answer it. Im having LS 5.3 engine (from a 2008 Yukon) installed on my 1986 GMC Sierra, I’ll install automatic transmission, but I’m not sure what type of tranx that fits the LS and my truck?
    I may need your help with wiring diagram. Thanks

    so running the wires from the bulk head will it run the factory gauges in the truck?

    • @LonniesGarage
      @LonniesGarage  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Zachary Kuzma well for me no because the speed meter is ran by a cable and my trans is the 4L60e trans so it runs from a wire signal, the oil and temp will need new sensors and plugs as well.

    • @LonniesGarage
      @LonniesGarage  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Zachary Kuzma wiring it to the bulkhead will alow you to start it by key and have power to all the dash and such in the truck

    • @zacharykuzma1668
      @zacharykuzma1668 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      So would it be easier to just get new gauges or what? Im planning on doing a 5.3 swap into my 85 c10 and just trying to gather all the info i can right now lol

    • @LonniesGarage
      @LonniesGarage  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Zachary Kuzma yes. I will be getting digital gauges. They have some on eBay for $180 to $300 for the less expensive ones but Dakota Digital makes some for $700. The sets that are cheaper come with the new sensors needed

    • @zacharykuzma1668
      @zacharykuzma1668 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      What about the sensor adapters for the factory gauges? Bc the spedo im not worried about cause im gonna run an older 4speed just mainly temp and oil gauges cause i dont really care for the digital gauges lol

    Lonnie, I got question about the fuel wiring. I'm doing a 5.3 swap on a 84 c10 for a friend. So now I'm at fuel part on the swap. I'm using the FG05M sending for a 87 c10 pickup. The 2 color wires from the 84 is purple and a red wire. Do you recall which is which from your swap?

    • @LonniesGarage
      @LonniesGarage  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Badd Hamilton I like the digital gauge clusters. That's what I'm going to go with in this truck.

    • @baddhamilton468
      @baddhamilton468 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      PuppetKicker so you recommend going aftermarket digital

    • @LonniesGarage

      Badd Hamilton yes. It's all in your preferences

    • @baddhamilton468

      PuppetKicker are they reasonably priced

    • @LonniesGarage
      @LonniesGarage  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Badd Hamilton U can get one with all the sensors for around 300 on ebay

    • @LonniesGarage
      @LonniesGarage  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No. But I do find that having some back pressure help the motor run better. These ls motors love a lil back pressure. I ran the flow masters and it seems to like it.

    great vids man, maybe you can help me out , all my gauges went out on me its a 1982 chevy c10 auto ,what i would like to do is override the electric printout panel in back of cluster and install individual electric gauges, i copied the info you put out on video about the plug in back of panel , how can i trace gas gauge, wireing ,oil gauge wirinb,water temp. wiring and where do the sending units go on motor, appreciate any help on this my first resto sorta, im 67 still like my old chevys, thanx for reading

    • @LonniesGarage
      @LonniesGarage  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Martin Rivera u can just tie into the plug wires that would have plugged into the stock cluster. You will have to look on your motor for the oil and water sensors
