Lol prices are already up. You'd think a 5.3 or 4.8 is junk to them when looking at the price difference. Snagged a 60k 5.3 for $550. The "lower" (90k+) mileage 6.0's I could find were still near a grand and that's not an LQ9. Upstate NY.
Love watching every video man. Life changing motivation thanks The love is the motivation, motive what you love. So I'm motivation to do my own lanes in life. Now I motivation by who ( and what ) I want to see in my future.
Sweet truck my dad has a 1999 suburdan with a 383 stroker motor and flow master exhaust it was on a dyno and put 575 hp to the wheels and in the future he would like to put a turbo or super charger but it's lots of fun like that truck and great content keep it up
Nice truck i love your turbo setup! I have a 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500hd 6.0 Liter with dual flowmasters dumped, the cats are hollowed out so it is wicked loud. My truck has a 6 inch Zone Off Road lift with Zone Off Road Shocks! I noticed your truck is the same color as mine, what is the name of that color?
It's been pretty good! This truck always does good and this video did exceptionally good! It's still going we'll see how far it goes then include it in a future video.
Just found this, not a bad setup but sounds like you bought it over building it from the way your talkin sounds like you read it from somewhere over you just automatically knowing from building it..
stop giving me idea's for my avalanche! i just got the dang thing a month and a half ago, and now your showing me the hidden potential lmfao the GMC sounds amazing, im going to have to go back and watch the vids on its build now how does it tow with the mods done? also who did you go through for the electric fan conversion? im wanting to do the same thing to my 04 avalanche with the 5.3L, and if it would also work, would love to do the same for my 96 s10 4cyl, and my 01 blazer zr2 with the 4.3
Man I had an 04 avalanche, that bastard gave me a decade of solid service. So I replaced it with another one. Room for me, the wife and three not small teenagers. Current one is an 03 from SC so I should get several years out of it here in NY. Just oil sprayed it a month ago.
@@williamsinger4124 im not sure how long mine will last, when i got it i didnt know it had all the rust it has, thankfully though all of the rust is hidden, so i can take my time getting new body pannels, and then a new frame (the frame im going to have modifyed with a coil over torsion bar delete conversion i found) and then have the frame powder coated, or something, then have the whole under side up to the tops of the cladding rino lined or something before having the rest wrapped, z71 off road edition needs something better then a pain job, easyer to wrap (and possibly cheaper) then paint all the time
@@RavenKraken that sounds like a cool build, I was thinking of rhino lining up under the cladding myself, as well as the cladding. I think we can both agree that gm must've gotten the pewter color on a discount or something bc I see Soo many pewter ones. Mine included lol
@@williamsinger4124 i wouldnt rino line the cladding, cause its only body armor, im going to leave mine alone, cause no point in rino lining something that is made of plastic, and can easly be broken, as for the pewter, mine is actully a very dark blue, in different lightning it can look black, purple, or blue, but yeah, what i said earlyer is just to get it to a point i can start modifying it, im talking off road bumpers, lights, tires, i would like to make it into, what are they called, overlanders? what ever its called, im wanting to make it where i can take it down so many different trails, and beable to survive for a week
@@RavenKraken since the midgate is collapsible, that'd actually be a great overland vehicle. There are avalanche specific caps out there so that is a good idea. The only reason I want to rhino line the plastic is so it's all one color. 50 shades of grey belongs in a book, not a truck lol. That's literally my only gripe with the truck. I like the blue color on yours. My first one was an 04 non cladding model, in bud light blue i called that color. Do you plan on making videos of the build?
What’s your fuel pump setup? I’m turbocharging my truck now. Just have to finish the charge pipe to the intercooler now. Should have a few videos up soon.
What's the MPG on a tow and if you were to drive Long distance? And why did you go with a single turbo and not twin? (I have the 03 1500hd same lift & tires, but 373 gears)
Is there anything you really dont like about the rear mount turbo besides the turbo being exposed? There isnt enough room in my engine bay for a whole front mount setup and this looks like it works extremely well with your setup
Not really! It's a nice way to add a turbo! You do have to run a oil scavenge pump to pump oil back to the engine, but it's not hard to plumb in. Works very well!
Slow Restoration Danny I like your Turbo GMC Sierra Extended Cab 4x4 Truck and your Green Chevrolet Camaro also I like want you do work on vehicle and I am BIGGER FANS of you keep up with good TH-cam videos man ????
I honestly have no ideal, it was built over years! I'm sure I could ballpark it but it doesn't really matter to me because it's paid for. I'm sure it will continue to add up.
@@bradyoakland9287 I bought the cognito upgraded ones. They were expensive though 450 plus tax Canadian. They lasted 3 or 4 months. First time the truck got dirty though and i opened her up in 4wd for the day there was a ton of play in them by the end of day. Just not worth ìt when factory ones are like 20 bucks each.
I don't know how to feel about that air filter placement on that Turbo I might have had to run that up under the back seat I bet it gets dirty real fast right there and if you went through some deep water yeah but it sounds good though
I have a similar project, just watch the video when I seen the turbo was in the back, DANG IT! that's definitely not going to work for me, no way I can keep the mud Gravel Road fog snow slush ice out of it. Well at least now I know, guess I did already. 6.0 4l80e Terminator X Max np241c 488 Detroit truetrac in 93 Chevy k15004×4 short bed with 35's ...for now. Cool truck thanks for making the video👍
I try not to, just to take care of the truck, but have been caught in to rain before! You could relocate the filter if you were going to off road! It came with the kit I just didn't use it!
Nice truck but I bet that truck never sees a mud hole or a dirt road in its life with the turbo mounted under the truck. With that being said why have a lifted 4×4 that's only a pavement pounder?
@@slow_restoration well maybe you know something I don't then brother. Last time I try to stall converter and a four-wheel drive with 36s my Transmissions did not last very long and I had a pretty good Builder. Course a lot of things is come long ways since the old school Turbo 400 however they're also tried and trude
Yeah man the 80E is a continuation of the 400! They have a lockup converter and with a quality converter once they go into lockup it's like stock. Plus the newer stall is much more efficient. I've never had it go over 200 deg. even towing.
Dang I love the H2 wheels, especially with the GMC beauty rings. I'm going to have to find some of those some day.
They are out there, they look good on the truck also!
@@slow_restoration I've seen them for sale but usually people are proud of them, easy $100 per wheel.
Looks like you might need some traction bars for sure.
You imagine the people in their houses....they probably thinking it's a teenager.... 🤔 Not a grown man having fun in his toy. 🤣
We never grow up!
Lmao I get that a lot too
I started my CTSV at the bank and had this girl who had to be JUST out of highschool scream "why?!" At me.....I just smiled, I was happy hearing "Lope lope lope lope"
thank you for all the info... very detailed... im sold goin forward...
Glad it was helpful!
is the turbo supported with a bracket or is the plumbing/inlet piping support the weight of the turbo... (sort of like a muffler suspended with brackets ) thanks again i know this vid is two years removed but its the best example for my truck 🙏
This Truck Sounds Amazing would take it over Steves f450
Not really a GM guy but I'll admit that thing screams.
Thanks, glad to hear it!
clean build and looks reliable which is impressive, I've got so many questions for you!
Thanks, ask away! Check out the new build for a front mount turbo on one of these trucks! th-cam.com/play/PLGW9nlG-jzBm-BiKLDo1d4PoNrdkLuQEz.html
For someone first getting into building a truck what would be your first few mods to build power? Thanks man love the videos
The basics always apply, intake, exhaust and a tune! Then you can go internal but that stars costing more $$$!
Not a budget build but nice
Holy fuck. I need that on my 6.0 to wake the ol girl up a bit!
💪
How many miles where on the engine when you turboed it
80,xxx or somewhere in that neighborhood.
Dam I want a 6.0 now lol. Prices will go up if they find out lol.
Lets hope not!
Lol prices are already up. You'd think a 5.3 or 4.8 is junk to them when looking at the price difference. Snagged a 60k 5.3 for $550. The "lower" (90k+) mileage 6.0's I could find were still near a grand and that's not an LQ9. Upstate NY.
Love this truck! Reason why I subscribed in the first place! Well done!
Thanks, I know people love this truck! Thanks for watching!
Sweet! Any 4wd pulls?
No, it's been a while since I did any. Maybe a video idea!
This truck is my kinda build , you done an outstanding job on it .
Thanks, appreciate it!
How much was the turbo build alone
Nice video. I wanna do just a turbo on my 5.3 for some extra power. What kit is the best bang for your buck?
Huron Speed, it's a solid well built kit!
I remember when those sts kits came out for the ol 2500hd 6.0l. So much power! And reliable.
Awesome truck btw !
Thanks! It works good and sounds amazing!
@ 3:26 been awhile since I've used the meth ??🤔🤣
LOL you can't use meth all the time! Seriously though, I had been towing a lot and don't use high boost and meth when I tow!
Julien Keaton same here, having withdraws
I love how he used a over quarter tank in this video 😂
I didn't even notice! Smiles per gallon!
Awesome video man!! Would love to see it on a Dyno. I’m thinking around 700 HP.
Thanks, I'm interested in what it is too! Maybe we should see!
Not unless he turns it up to 15 lb I would say close to 500 with that suspension
6.0 stock plus 30 for some cams and around 140 on 11 lbs of boost 😆
Keep the videos coming. Trucks badass👍🏼
Love the truck! What kind of gas milage do you get compared to before the turbo?
guess it's not too good.
YES! this is what I was looking for! thanks!
Glad I could help!
that thing is savage.... I want one
You can do it! It's a simple build!
Love watching every video man. Life changing motivation thanks
The love is the motivation, motive what you love. So I'm motivation to do my own lanes in life. Now I motivation by who ( and what ) I want to see in my future.
Those blocks will be a thing of the past in no time at all. Keep up the good work and the vids. Your Subscribers are gonna climb and fast.
Thanks!
Hey Danny great videos, would you do a video on how you installed your electric fans?
Thanks, it will be part of the New Turbo GMC build! Stay tuned!
Steve don’t want the sauce!!
Not at all!
I really like that set up on the truck, overall awesome truck
I appreciate it, Thanks!
Sweet truck my dad has a 1999 suburdan with a 383 stroker motor and flow master exhaust it was on a dyno and put 575 hp to the wheels and in the future he would like to put a turbo or super charger but it's lots of fun like that truck and great content keep it up
Nice, Thanks!
Could you cut a hole in the bed and route the turbo intake there?
I could, just don't want to cut a good bed! It's hasn't been an issue yet.
Did you install this kit by yourself?
Sure did! Years ago.
@@slow_restoration does Sts make a specific kit for this or did you piece it together?
Sweet truck thing rips
Thanks, it does!
GMC sounds angry on the cold start! Flat out just a bad ass truck! I bet it’s a blast to drive!
Come drive it!
Yeah if I drove that thing I would probably fall in love with it LOL
Nice truck i love your turbo setup! I have a 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500hd 6.0 Liter with dual flowmasters dumped, the cats are hollowed out so it is wicked loud. My truck has a 6 inch Zone Off Road lift with Zone Off Road Shocks! I noticed your truck is the same color as mine, what is the name of that color?
Thanks! Sounds like a similar build, nice! GMC calls it Carbon Metallic. It can look black, grey, or a greenish color depending on the lighting!
I swear i saw you at Cecil county drag way. I love this truck.
Possible, that's where I usually run! Thanks
I have a 05 Silverado with a 5.3. I thought it hauled ass in factory form lolol
I'd love to have a set up like this...I'd get in so much trouble
It makes a big difference!
kiss that 4l60e good bye lol
How much growth have you made from this video?
It's been pretty good! This truck always does good and this video did exceptionally good! It's still going we'll see how far it goes then include it in a future video.
How does it launch in 4 wheel drive. can the t case handle it
that's a badass truck. sleeper all day long.👍🤘
Thanks, I've only did it a few times but it's violent! There's a lot to break up there!
T case yes, The tie rods no lmao
Should've done a up top turbo kit
To each his own, I like this system!
@slow_restorations did you gap the rings for the amount of boost your running?
Nope, heads haven't been off yet!
Just found this, not a bad setup but sounds like you bought it over building it from the way your talkin sounds like you read it from somewhere over you just automatically knowing from building it..
I've owned this truck since new, definitely didn't buy it like this!
Now show the vid when some kid pulls up in his civic thinking he all that🤣😂
Know any?
Yeah, hit up boostedbois
This truck is badass , but anything built by the boostedboiz would run on this .
The truck kicks ass! I love it

This truck is incredible!
And I'm honestly blown away that your G80 locker hasn't exploded yet 😂😂 I blew one in my old 1500 on 37s
Hunter Quinn It’s a 14 bolt rear end,They are stronger than a 10 bolt

The 14 bolt is stronger, bolt they are still known for exploding if you abuse them! I have before!

It could!
Did you install yourself? If not. How much did it cost all said and done? I'm about to turbo my 8.1. And I have no idea what I'm doing😂
I guess I'm asking what it cost to get installed. I already have the turbo and stuff
I did install it myself. You can do it, just take your time and plan it out. Any questions let me know.
Do you have an Instagram or something where I can private massage you?
Shure do @ slow_restoration
Now V8 your little S 10 extreme with same setup, I love those little Chevys, I have a 96 model, I notice you have a couple of them too 👍
Yeah, I like em!

Yes, but try not to!

@@SCwrestlerTTSB No problem, Thanks for the support!
Do you drive this everywhere with the taul/haul mode engaged?
Not always but I like the way it holds shifts in tow haul better! Probably because I still have 4:10 gears with 35's.
Sounds dope 👍🏼
Why not just put the turbo under the hood so u don’t gotta crawl underneath when u wanna look at how sexy it looks
It's lifted so you can still see it!
So bad ass, sweet truck
We're can I buy that turbo kit
Not sure you can buy this kit anymore, STS went out of business. They were picked up by Holley but it's more of a universal kit now.
Stock transmission? I have a 01 gmc with a 6.0l and 2.3l whipple. Shifting is much more lethargic
It does have a Trans Go HD2 shift kit! I highly recommend it!
Is that a 6.0?
Yes it's a LQ4.
I think I need to get ahold of you I've got a 2009 3/4 ton with a 601 in I would like to have converted to a turbo or supercharger
WTF damn let those bold eagles scream
