Sir let me just say you need a medal for this video. Perfectly detailed and I appreciate that you didn't just say "to install, just do everything in reverse" you walked through the install as well.
What an extreme luxury to have your two most helpful videos with such clear detail on removing and replacing an engine in a Chevy Van. Thank you for taking the time.
I know, very late to the party but I want to thank you for your patient and thorough seminar. I have a 40 year old rv that needs its tired old engine replaced and this helps very much. Good show, thank you again.
What a great video! VERY informative, no tacky music, well planned out removal and install, no no corny stories about aunt Ester and her bunions on her feet! Loved it. I happen to have a 07, 09, 15, and an 19 Express vans. Hopefully I will not have to watch video again because if I do it means I am buying an engine. Thank you very much for your video. Liked and subed.
Thanks for the kind words. As you can tell, I’m not a professional youtuber...I couldn’t find a video like this when I looking to replace my engine so I wanted to post something to help others.
Thanks! I don’t care if you’re sarcastic or not. :) Other people hated the music, but I’m not a professional youtuber…I just wanted to watch a video on this topic..I couldn’t find one, so I made one.
Good job and a great, easy to watch job of documenting your work! Four years later, still going strong? Saw your response about "While you're there" down below, but this certainly would've been an opportune time to replace items like crank and cam position sensors, perhaps the knock sensors, starter, coolant pump, thermostat, oil cooler lines, coolant hoses, belt and engine mounts. I'm thinking name brand, quality replacement parts; not replacing OEM with the cheapest stuff on Amazon. You know the history of your vehicle and what has and hasn't been replaced recently, but these parts are all much cheaper than the labor you're saving and should help ensure reliability and that you're not going back in there anytime soon. I was surprised - no, make that impressed! - that you completely reassembled everything before starting the engine; showing a lot of confidence in your work and the rebuilt engine there, lol!
Very well done on the videos of removing 6.0l engine out of your Express van. I'm currently pulling a 6.0l out of a 04 H2 and the engine sit way back in the firewall and it stumped me on how to pull it without damaging anything. But putting a home made engine intake plate to fit was genius. Very well detail video, and clean shop. Thanks
The 6.0l engine I was trying to pull from the h2 hummer came out successfully with no problems. Making the intake plate proved to be very well use and kepted the engine well balance when removing it by myself. Thank you again. Hope to see more of your videos.
Awesome videos ! Great camera work, very clear narration, and excellent work quality. Thank you very much. One thing about filling coolant: I find on the vans it is much easier to fill through the upper rad hose. disconnect from the rad, lift it up, and fill that way. It helps with bleeding the system as well.
Thank you sir for such a thorough video without skipping a step. I own (2) 2004 Express 3500 Roadtreks with this 6.0L. and (1) 2000 Travel Van by Trailwagon with the 5.7L. I would totally have the confidence to replace any one if needed thanks to your guidance. You rock brother!
Excellent videos! One comment I'd like to make, though, is about the oil filling at 18:20. One can clearly see that you are using a full synthetic oil. I was always taught never to do this, for two reasons. 1) the stuff is super slick and can actually prevent proper ring setting during break in (where you need a bit of wear to get a good seal). Some, however, may discount this as an old wives tale. 2) its awfully bloody expensive when you're gonna drain it out and change the filter in a week. Our shop just used a decent quality dinosaur oil for the break in period. We actually had an engine break-in stand that spun the engine with a big electric motor at varying speeds so we could perform initial break in for the customer, check oil pressure, check for leaks, compression etc. without installing the engine. There are different schools of thought on the driving process too. Again, excellent quality videos, very clear instructions .. I give it top marks!
I'm not a mechanic by trade, but that makes sense to me ↑. ...when I needed to swap the engine in my van, I looked for a video and I couldn't find one that was helpful so I decided to make one during a slow time (covid shutdown). If anyone is watching this video and reading this comment, then I would agree with 'Indoor Roadkill' that a cheap oil would be a better option to use during the break-in period. ....well, unless some oil expert chimes and convinces me otherwise. :)
I love your explaining in great detail and what you're doing. I'm looking to purchase a new van. So I'm going to replace the engine for at least 15 years. As I will be changing the oil and transmission fluid at every manufacturer's recommendation. Along with timing chains and anything else that's required. As usually $50 in maintenance will save you thousands of dollars next year..
Years ago I had a 1976 Chevy van. Removed engine from passenger side door. Removed seat and lower hinge so door could lay forward. Removed 305 v8 and replaced with a 250 L6
Very impressive on all fronts. I don't have patience to do something like this - what would it cost to have this done at a shop, more or less? Thanks !
I was using my phone to film, so it took much longer than it should have. I heard someone say that the book time is about 18 hours, but don’t quote me on that.
Great video, Scott! Recently did a cam swap on another LS and became familiar with a few things that gave me pause in your video. Did you re-use the balancer pulley bolt? Hopefully you just didnt show it, but that bolt is DEFINITELY torque to yield. Manual spec calls using old bolt, fully seating pulley at 250ft-lbs, removing, installing NEW bolt at 37ft-lbs, AND THEN AN ADDL 140*. It might be useful to your viewers to show this, and make sure to sequence it with using the fly wheel locking tool from the earlier point where you installed the alternator, and sequence the video so folks following along dont miss that critical step. In the vette/camaro LS2/LS3 circles, we have LOTS of issues with balancers, so I would also critically suggest AT LEAST replacing that balancer with a new one, if not an aftermarket ATI one, ALONG WITH THE NEW BOLT. CRITICAL.
oh great...now you got me second guessing if I replaced that bolt with a new one or just re-used the old one. ...I think I just re-used the old one and I know I didn't torque it at 250ft-lbs plus 140 degrees...the reason I know I didn't do that is because I only have three torque wrenches and none of them go that high. I hope that it won't cause any problems...maybe I should stop by the dealer and buy a new bolt. (also, I know it was difficult to get the balancer started because the bolt seemed a little too short) Anyway, thanks for the comment and the extra work that I now have to do :)
@@scottrinne1 I definitely would! PN 12557840, its $7 on Summit. None of mine went up to 250, so I did some goofy antics with a breaker bar and some pipe to "make sure it's seated". That's essentially what it is, but we're talking a press fit. Definitely not something you'd want to put a measurement on from the timing cover (which varies about .010 anyhow on placement and gasket matl. If you can, see if you can get to it from the bottom with some extensions, reef on it, and then replace the bolt. It shouldn't be somethign to lose sleep over, but its pseudo catastrophic if that comes loose and wallow's out the crank snout. Not to menion if it comes OFF. Do not recommend. Two thumbs down. Good lookin out :)
nice 2 videos but why didn't you get a bigger engine?my 05 pleasureway RV van weights 8K-9K LBs she needs more cubes. I see the van has hummer wheels what size are the tires. my tires look real small on my van.
Thanks for the comment. It took me much longer than it should have because I was filming most of it. I think the mechanic book time is around 18 or 20 hours, but I'm not sure.
I also have a 2010 Chevy Express Quigley 4x4 van. I love it! Currently at 125k and running strong. But I have wondered about this exact engine replacement. Great job! I’m curious why you didn’t go ahead and put in a rebuilt or new transmission while you were there? If the trans was as worn as the original engine it probably doesn’t have a lot left. Just curious- thanks !
Thanks! The transmission was already replaced and had about 30,000 miles at the time we did the engine. “While we’re there” can be a dangerous trap…it can turn a simple project into a HUGE project that goes way over budget. Example: if we did the trans, then we might as well do the transfer case. If we do the transfer case, then we might as well do the driveshafts and differentials…and the next thing we are repainting the whole van. :)
@@scottrinne1 Makes sense. I get it. Need to find a threshold or else your spending loads of cash. I hope I’m not doing this to my Quigley for quite a while, but if I need to I know I’ll be back to this channel. Thanks for the intel 👍🏼👍🏼
I went on car-parts dot com and found a rebuilt engine in my area. If you look on there you will be able to find one near your zip code and it will show the prices.

I'm going off of memory, so don't quote me on this, but I think they are 285/70/17 tires on Hummer H2 wheels. I didn't have the budget for some good A/T or M/T tires at the time, so I just went with Mastercraft Courser 10ply tires.
Awesome, you really know this engine, I have a question, I have a Chevy express 2004 1500 2wd, it was running fine until we got hit with this freeze, I live in Texas, while I was driving slowing down to a light, then when I press the accelerator I all of sudden get this phoosing sound but my check engine light did not come on, so the more I press the accelerator as I increase in speed the sound stops when I reach over 40 mph. I installed a new MAS, checked all the hose connections, then just got the fuel system cleaned up. The sound is not as bad or loud but it does continue when I am at rest and press on the accelerator. I reach 75 mph and cruise at 70 and hardly ever hear that sound only when I am at a stop in the increase in speed. I got a new factory cat system last year and my engine light is not on, do you think it is the carbonator, fuel injection or air flow system with a cracked hose that I cannot see?
Sorry, I can’t help you with that one. I would recommend taking it to a mechanic to diagnose it. Good luck and sorry to hear that our Minnesota weather visited you guys (you’ll) down there.
Great video! In your opinion, could it be possible to not open the A/C refrigerant circuit by hanging the compressor to the side? I'm about to embark on this same project as a first-timer, although I have some experience with installing diesel engines in farm equipment.
I’m not sure about that. The compressor might fit to the side, but I don’t know about the condenser. (I left it attached to the radiator when I removed them)
The Express vans only come with the 4.3 V6 nowadays unfortunately. The 6.6 V8 is still listed, but dealers said it is not available. I’d get a used V8 van because the V6 is underpowered for these vans. If I got a 4.3 V6 van, I’d swap it with the 6.6. Definitely doable because GM makes parts for it!
I was told that the only difference between the three-quarter ton and ton chey is just an extra spring in the rear leaf springs. However the Ford does a lot more between the three quarter ton and their 1-ton it's much more than just an extra beefed-up spring in the rear. But they cannot compete with a 6.0 or the 6.6 L that the Chevy has.
I was filming so it took forever. :) I don’t quote me but I think the book-time is 18 hours???? …and the price depends on the cost of the engine in your area. (Look on car-parts.com to get an idea) …not to mention you should add about $500 to the budget for little things: fluids, hoses, pulleys, and the might-as-well since-I’m-in-here-parts.

Where can you buy the intake plate to remove engine
Search “LS lift plate”.
Over torqued a valve cover bolt on this installation and recovered with a nut weld. Just barely threaded. 😅 Tapped the rest. Jasper 🤷🏼♂️
