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

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

Can you do a Fred thread Part 2 maybe?

glock35ipsc · 02-08-2010, 11:57 PM

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!

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.

JohnC · 02-09-2010, 06:11 PM

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.

JohnC · 02-09-2010, 08:23 PM

Yeah Bob's thread has a way of doing that. Time well spent though.

STOCKISH · 02-11-2010, 05:02 PM

Hey Bob, how we coming on the dyno day? Any word yet?

glock35ipsc · 02-12-2010, 10:13 AM

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

glock35ipsc · 02-14-2010, 03:08 PM

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.

I'm not making any guesses! I just hope I can turn the drum with my one wheel wonder without spinning the tire!

STOCKISH · 02-15-2010, 01:28 PM

Yeah, that'd stink to get up there and just spin on the drum. I'm sure you'll be just fine. Good luck and dont forget the video.
