SONOFA :cuss::censored::m6::banghead:

No dyno time today, it's snowing. Only about an inch on the ground, but wet tires and a dripping under carriage = "no dyno for you!!!!"

Man that sucks. I was watching the weather last night and was hoping it would hold off until late tonight. Hopefully next week will be nice for ya.

Soooooo, Dave, my dyno guy just called. It wouldn't have mattered if it was 60° and sunny out, it still wouldn't have happened today.

Seems as though he had a slight mishap skiing over the weekend, and broke his face! He just got home yesterday from surgery to have his cheek and jaw put back where they belong! So we'll try again next week, according to him. :D

Yikes! That's a tough break! Hope the guy recovers fine. Bob, I just printed your build/parts list PDF file! Thanks for putting that up for us guys!

thats cool ;man. I did get all the fittings.. the hard go get one from the vette filter to the 6 an line I found it locally,here in sa..,

bob you could always send your truck south to tx and me and rongstad could take it to the dyno and then maybe just maybe send it back to you....:metal:

Bob,
do you know where to get the threaded inserts that mount the throttle cable bracket to the intake??

my intake was originally dbw but i have gone with a cable tb and two of the the three inserts are missing, i can post a pic if needed, thanks.

Eric - See if you have a Fastenal store near you, they do for sure. But any fastener supply store will have them, our ACE Hardware here has them. They are 1/4"-20 thread.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 
when I bought my 5.3 it was missing the fans,,, the yard told me to come and choose what ever fan I want to from the fan room, the fans are all label, what do you guys recommend I take? the originals, or could I pick some from like a f body ?

glock35ipsc 02-07-2010 05:21 PM
Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 
If you are looking at electric fans, the original ones are too wide. I heard F-body fans will work thought. Can't confirm this however, I'm using the OEM clutch fan.

fpjr0 02-07-2010 11:27 PM
Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 
I am gonna measure and go to the yard tomorrow and see what i can find thanks bob,,,

Did you start a new thread for the trailing arm conversion or are you going to keep it in here?

glock35ipsc 02-08-2010 08:52 PM
Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 
I thought when I do it that I would start a new thread in the main 73-87 forum, and post a link to it in here.

Driveway Dreams 02-08-2010 10:27 PM
Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 
Can you do a Fred thread Part 2 maybe?

glock35ipsc 02-08-2010 11:57 PM
Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 
You thinking this should stay the LS part of the build, and start a new one for the rest of the truck (suspension, body & paint, interior, etc.)?

Fred has pretty much been a guide for many to do an LS swap but you have done things like the rear end swap too that may be of interest but starting a new thread and linking to it for something as big as the trailing arm swap is probably a good idea. Putting it in the general suspension forum will get input from people who may not be following this thread too.

Yes Sir! Thanks Bob. Another window to your build thread would be wonderful!:metal:

Wow!! I have not been on here in a couple of years since I parted with my truck and I come back to this? Great job. I have been wanting to get back into a square body so bad lately and this is exactly what I wanted to do to it... ok, well I was thinking more along the lines of a 6.0 though, lol. I knew once I visited again, the itch would get worse and you make it look all too easy. I will have to keep reminding myself I still have a ways to go before I can begin this. Either way, when I am ready, this will be the first post I read again. :metal::chevy:

Nice to have you back Ric83. Look around at some of the guys posting here, there are a couple of them doing 6.0 swaps.

Will do. I just started with this thread and could not stop reading until I went through the whole thing, lol. :lol:

No seriously, I have no idea where it's at......

So this will have to do for now:

2006 Silverado harness, starting at PCM connectors and moving out from the PCM -

BARE WIRES:

White - To tach, 4cyl signal
Green/White - To fuel pump relay control, 12v +
Green/White - AC cycling switch
White - To brake light switch, cruise
Green/White - AC clutch enable relay control
Purple - To brake switch, for TCC
Green/White - VSS, to speedo
Green - To OBD II connector, in vehicle
Brown/White - To SES light

3 Red wires - Each to a 12v key-on fused power source
1 Orange wire - To a 12v battery fused power source
1 Purple wire - To starter solenoid (tie trucks starter wire to this one, or leave it alone and use trucks wire to the starter)

CONNECTORS:

• Electric fans (high and low, I will have to supply the ground)
• TAC module
• Wires for cruise: Dark Blue, Gray/Black, Gray
• DS coil packs
• DS injectors
• Alternator
• Coolant temp sensor (front of left head, for PCM)
• Ground
• AC compressor [probably won't need/use]
• AC pressure switch (on AC line) [probably won't need/use]
• Starter solenoid (see “1 Purple wire” above)
• Crank sensor
• Oil level switch (in oil pan)

MAIN HARNESS SPLITS IN TWO HERE:

One:

• MAP sensor
• Passenger side O2 sensor, front
• MAF
• PS coil packs
• Ground
• PS Injectors
• Throttle body

Two:

• Knock sensor harness on intake manifold
• Oil PSI switch (behind intake manifold, for PCM)
• Cam sensor
• Ground
• Driver side O2 sensor, front
• Transmission, drivers side
• Transmission, VSS, tailhousing
• Transmission, passenger side
Bob did you note which PCM connectors that the wires came from and the color of your connectors? Jay

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
 
I did not. They can differ from year to year (there are a few different year ranges in fact), so it's best to get a schematic of the year you are working on the be sure of colors and pin locations.
