Last batch. Changed the last pic. This is how the Harley gets strapped in. After I had this worked out, I cut the excess off and melted the ends to prevent fraying.

Real nice setup. The conduit is a great idea for all exposed wires. Mice love to chew the wires especially on something like a trailer that sits unused a lot.

I went to the track to try out my new motor in the S10. Had a great time. Scary at first but finely got it to go straight.

V8 S10's are great! Yours is looking good. Any more information on it?

It's a 2000 Xtreme. This is the third motor in it. Each one got a little nastier. First engine was a 383 with just over 500hp. The second motor was a built 374 with just over 600hp. Now this third motor is a built 430 with just over 700hp. I put this truck together to handle more than 1000hp just in case I decided to go bigger. So, all I really had to do was build the motors, the rest of the truck was fine, very little change.

If you have never changed a battery in a 2020 Tahoe (I'm sure a few other models too) your in for a real treat.

The wife's original factory battery finally gave up the ghost the other day so I found out the task of changing it is no longer a simple operation lol. You have to completely remove the air cleaner housing then loosen and slide the coolant overflow tank forward to have room to get it out.

It has a positive and ground distribution block that straddles the top of the battery with 5 cables attached, all of that plus a brace over the battery.

Nothing overly difficult it's just not a 15 minute job anymore.

Did you have to do something to maintain power to the computers while you disconnected the battery? I think some vehicles require it.

From what I know/experienced it's only if you want to save all the programing you did to the radio, A/C/Heat etc ...the wife took care of that after the fact.

I did watch a youtube video (hoping for a shortcut) which showed turning the battery on its side for removal without taking everything else apart (coolant/air box) but it did not work for me as I was afraid of snapping the plastic mounting tabs on the coolant tank off, then we have another problem.

On that distribution panel/busbar that sits on top of the battery it has a blue multi-wire connector it feeds that appears to power the computer, you can leave that connected as I did, and I suppose connect remote 12 volts to it but it would be right in the way of what your trying to do IMHO.
