Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Ok, I bit! Subscribed to YouTube and posting to this build. I am not a fan but do realize they can be powerful power plants. I don't know enough about them but will be learning here.
Also, we need to increase your vocabulary, Rusty, Busty and Dusty? How about Larry, Curly and Mo for the next three.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
this left an empty engine bay cavity, which I am telling myself repeatedly:
you will not strip you will not clean you will not paint as this is an Electrification and not a Restoration |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
we went after the fuel tankulator next, and for that we had to remove them buckets, which gots ta go to the upholsterererer anyways
I think that's a 16 gallon tank, any guesses how many Home Depot 5 gallon buckets it took to drain it? We also weighed the tank: it came in at 35.0 lbsers dry as a bone |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
so what is that? 71 + EE + 35 = 100 or so and since the scale craps out at 660 lbs we are talking about North of 7 fiddy
don't forget that The Greg drained all the fluids, and a 16 gallon fuel tank alone would add 16 x 6.3 = just over 100 pounds since the new transmotor will obviously hold trans fluid just as the old one, we will call that a wash same goes for water/coolant, the new components (Inverter, Charger, Converter) are liquid cooled so we will call that a wash as well Last edited by Gregski; 03-10-2022 at 07:15 AM. |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
so on a bit of a tangent, remember that this is a '71 cab, but it came with a '72 driver door which I replaced with a proper '71 door, but it don't fit right
[for those not familiar with these trucks, GM likes to monkey around with things every 2 years or so, so in 1972 they redesigned the doors ever so slightly and changed the inside door panels from metal to plastic, and we can't have plastic on a truck] well after driving it with literally a string holding it tide to my seatbelt, yes I know super safe, I finally decided to pull the fender off to get to them up and down door hinge bolts to try and adjust it |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
have you ever accused a good friend of stealing?
yeah, me neither, but if I did it would go something like this: about 2 years or so ago a really good friend of mine asked if I would help him take the engine out of his SUV, so I said sure of course I usually carry some tools in my truck, so I bronged some of my tools, my favorite 30 year old Craftsman ratched, and lets just pick a random socket say a 9/16ths (you know the one you hardly ever use on your truck) and to speed up the process I used it that day at his place, he worked on one side of the engine bay I worked on the other after we were done, right around the same time I drove this truck aka Dusty to my mamas house and asked her if I could park it there for a couple of days [pronounced: TWO YEARS circa 2019 B.C. ahem Before Covid] well I haven't seen my ratchet and that 9/16ths socket since I HELPED HIM !!! which brings us to YESTERDAY: |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
These 450h trans are much more powerful than the bolt ev transaxle gm used in their conversions right?
You'll need a trans cooler for this? I look forward to seeing how well it holds up with no ICE in a pickup

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
and did we just pay another $50 bucks to find out this thing weighs only 17 lbs over the maximum 660 lbs of the first scale (which by the way we can not return since the return deadline has passed - BONUS!)
