- today, we're completing the final upgrades and repairs on the 2nd gen syclone to prepare it for the LS swap that we're about to kick off. The chassis and suspension, plus the front differential have been taken care of, but the final piece is the rear differential which is what we'll knock out today.
Check out Summit to grab a Truetrac or any differential parts for your project!

what's your vote for power adder? I think a roots type blower is my top choice, but a turbo is always fun...
I vote for a LSA from boost district.
2650
Na all-day super high rev
Turbos since the original Syclone was turboed
Part of me wants to see a turbo mounted where the factory muffler resides. 🤷♂️ A mid-mount setup.
Lsa supercharger with the zl1 lid and a c7 z06 heat exchanger from cordes performance racing 😎👊🏻
You should donate that old g80 and 373 to me. 😂 I could definitely use it!!
The g80 is a decent differential. It only turns into the g-bomb when you abuse it. I've had a g80 in my 04 Chevy Blazer 2wd for about 10 years now with no issues. And it saved me from getting stuck several times when camping off-road where are the open differential would have left me stock. For a daily driver it's perfect for high horsepower definitely upgrade.
the main issue with the G80 in the 10 bolt is how long it takes to kick in, you can loosen the spring in it to make it engage a bit faster, and that actually helps it survive because you wont have such heavy loads suddenly shocking the piece of metal that locks it in place.
I’ve got a G80 14 bolt in my K2500. It’s got 250K with nothing but gear oil changes so far. The 14 bolt G80 gets a bad rap primarily from people who don’t use it for its intended purpose. It was never designed to be a high performance differential. It was designed for truck useage to provide increased traction in mud or snowy conditions. Burnouts, rock crawling, drag racing are outside of the intended purpose of the design. My 2500 has been used as a towing and hauling vehicle it’s whole life and the G80 has served me well. Obviously if I was looking for a high performance diff I’d choose something else.
I got rid of my 1994 GMC JIMMY 4x4 with 292000 miles on it because I blew up the rear gears for the 2nd time since owning the vehicle, now I have the 2018 Silverado 1500 4x4 5.3l, right now the truck only has 62000 miles on it (bought it brand new with 19 miles on it) love the truck but I do miss the JIMMY.
Not nearly enough carrier bearing preload. I mentioned this a couple years ago on one of your setup vidoes, and you said there was no way to measure which is wrong. Just like you measure pinion bearing preload you do the same with the carrier bearings. It all adds up. The difference between a set up that works and one that is strong and lasts is completely different.
I'm partial to NA motors. A 6.0 or 6.2 LS would be perfect, without all the extra plumbing and cooling issues that's required with a blower or turbo.
That truck would be Rad with a cammed 6.2 centrifugal setup.
Linear powerband but It wouldn't lack in the low to mid range with that large cubic inch.
You also couldn't go wrong with that basic 5.3 and billet 7875 combo, it's attainable to most ppl and proven to make 700whp on e85.
I don't think you should use a power adder at all. Build a nasty N/A 408 or 427. 700 HP is doable in a very streetable package. If you go forced induction, I'm not sure how long that rear diff is going to last
Very interested in this, ive had this idea since i seen the red tide episode. Originally wanted to do this on an 01 4x4 jimmy i have and with the limited space because its 4x4 i had about decided on the lv3, but now im so undecided because i have a zr2. I hate to copy somebody but this project will greatly influence my project.
That’s a junk rear end I broke two in my s10 and two in my Silverado everything was stock
Lawrence, will you be selling your 4.3 from the s10? I am in Las Vegas and could use a road trip😊
21:38 if you aren’t going with a V6 turbo you may as well do a supercharged V8. I like variety, so I say super.
Depending on the year the zr2 could have been an 8.5 or 8.6, they started putting the 8.6 in about 99 in the s10’s
I like sleepers, too. You can put lipstick on any pig, but having what looks like a daily driver that can slam some doors is way more impressive than looks! I like the direction that this project is going.
2 things:
#1 I think that entire noise was the wheel bearing. I thought it sounded more like a bearing before you got into the rear end.
#2 The True Trac is an absolutely bulletproof rear end upgrade!!! I have a friend with a blown Rustang making 900 at the tires and he went through 2 diffs that I know of before getting the True Trac. It's almost a year old and the helical gears look brand new.
Random question, what are your u-joint angles?
Looks pretty steep downward at the trans, then the driveshaft looks nearly flat to the diff.
as much as I want to say turbo, I say go with a lt4 or lsa style supercharger and install a interchiller system that uses the ac system to super cool the coolant for the supercharger and gives you 32 degree air middle of summer
For packaging sake the lsa blower would fit best, try and grab a cowl hood maybe
Awesome job, your knowledge is tops. I'm excited to see the turbo boost episodes!
Hey why not call your S10 something like hurricane as it's a more of western theme as we are in west, but like your videos keep up the great work.
Since you’re going to be doing track racing or autocross style racing i would want to use a supercharger, wouldn’t want to continually wait on a turbo to spool
Mid build motivation! Celebrate the little wins to keep ya movin on the build!
Depends on how much you wanna do for a turbo if you want inner fenders wells and exhaust between the frame rails then a roots blower is for you
Quality work! Quality content! Swap time!!
LT why don't you put a c clip elimination kit on your axle and show us how to do it.
If you want a good rearend you can get one out of an ss trailblazer
At the end you said tear the v6 out and put the v6 in its place 😂
I would love to see a kong 2650 set up in that
super charger ..
go with the same as the COPO
Just watch video awesome great work
i mean ss10 could be a cool project name as well
9 👍's up LT thank you for sharing 🤗
Thank you LT !!!! good show
What parts washer do you use?
I'd super charge it. The Syclone didn't have a V8, so you're already off script.
Get some Caddy V6 and get it gone..... and done.
Bring on the power🤑🤗👍
Lsa style supercharger
LT, there's an old English phrase that sums you up when it comes to fitting that differential, "Son, you fell into shit, and came out smelling of Roses" like I said I think it sums up your luck on this job. Keep up the good work. 🇬🇧
haha... I like it! I'll be sure to use that phrase for sure
Lower the front a little more please. I like the old school rack look, but not extreme. As for the power adder, if you go twice. Turbo way I would go the remote way and put in the rear for weight wise and keeping the heat out of the engine bay. I know it's more work but the added benefits are better. I would completely build a oil system separate from the engine oil system too. That way you could control oil temps separate from the engine. Plus the turbo noises are more prominent to hear which is always fun.
The Comp oiless turbos are proving to be pretty reliable, i have one and looking to grab another for twins so i can throw some weight over the rear axle.
Whipple charger
Best automotive channel on TH-cam. Thanks.
Appreciate that!
Blower
You should stay just under 4,000 lb what's your S10 extended cab. I had an 03 Sonoma extended cab two-wheel drive With 2015 SS 20-in Camaro rims in a bed cover and it weighed in at 3582 on the scale. As you know those Camaro rims way about a metric ton and the bed cover what about 200 lb.
What was your gas mileage before/after the Camaro wheel swap?
@@oceanwaves83 to me it was better but I also added cold air intake high flow cat and 3-in exhaust from the cat all the way to the tailpipe with magma flow muffler. I would say freeway mileage I was getting about 350 to 400 miles per tank. Remember gas mileage depends on how heavy your foot is on the gas pedal.
So the noise was that bearing?
I don't think I actually showed how bad it was in this video, but the front pinion bearing was very worn and allowed the pinion to move up and down in the housing (maybe 0.030") which I believe caused a lot of gear noise. the wheel bearing likely made a little noise, but I still think the majority was the pinion being loose
@@LawrenceTolman I just finished rebuilding my Dana 50 ttb last weekend and it looks like the seal is leaking now. Guess I should have used sealant on the felpro. The gears will probably be wrong anyway. Factory 354. Fords.
I want to see the wiring for the ls swap, gauges working ect
Same.
we'll show it all!
Thank you for your dedication and love for your art. Your videos are always a joy to watch.🎁🎰🤡
Thank you for your work! Your content is always full of quality and useful information. I enjoy watching each of your videos.🦏🌑🐠
