is Tyler's had several transmission related issues over the last year or so. initially, his issues were due to the lower quality converter not holding up to the power and actually hurting a few minor components inside of the transmission. everything was rebuilt and replaced and all was well in terms of drivability, but once the truck made it back to the dyno, some new problems arose. we were able to remedy about 90% of the issues with tuning, but it turns out that the new torque converter simply is not up to the task of dealing with this engine combination. it will be replaced and the truck will come back. #bentune #hptuners #dyno #tuning #mustangdyno #dynotuning #gm #trucks #Chevrolet #Chevy #Tahoe #turbo #turbocharged #boosted #lsx #btr #BrianTooleyRacing #DIY #howto #hopethishelps #transmission #work #mechanic #mechanicsoftiktok #racetruck
wiring up this Dakota Digital gauge cluster has actually been incredibly simple. I don't love wiring jobs, even though you might think I do based on all of the wiring content I make at times 😂. the i/o box is actually super easy to wire up, but having the BIM module simplifies things even further if you want to add it to your build. it won't do you much good on an old SBC truck that still has the SBC in it, but if you have an LS swap, it's about as simple as it gets to make the gauge cluster work. then, it's just a matter of finding turn signals & fuel sending unit wires, and you're all done. #bentune #hptuners #dyno #tuning #mustangdyno #dynotuning #gm #trucks #Chevrolet #Chevy #Silverado #lsx #LSswap #btr #BrianTooleyRacing #DIY #wiring #electrical #howto #hopethishelps #mechanic #mechanicsoftiktok #racetruck #work #Monday #LFG
back in the good old days, the C5 Corvette filter/regulator was the only logical choice for nearly all LS swaps. now, unfortunately, they have become much less reliable than in the past. not only is reliability an issue, but if you have a little bit more aggressive combo with a larger fuel pump, the C5 filter/regulator is easily overpowered by 340 lph and larger pumps, like this OBS has in the tank. it's fairly easy though to swap that old filter out for a new setup, albeit a little more pricey. it is, however, worth the peace of mind to have constant, steady fuel pressure. #bentune #hptuners #GM #obs #lsswap #tuning #Chevy
once again, we have some power loss and phantom misfires on a LS swap. Believe it or not, it's one of the usual suspects again.... #bentune #hptuners #dyno #tuning #dynotuning #gm #LSX
entering the final stages of repairing & tuning il this LS swapped OBS truck. now that the gauges & lights are all working and we're ready for the final stages of the tuning process, I noticed the fuel system is falling short of delivering the desired amount. I'm suspicious of the fuel pump, but given the mods that this setup has, it could be the injectors, or maybe both... we shall see. #bentune #hptuners #dyno #tuning #mustangdyno #dynotuning #gm #trucks #Chevrolet #Chevy #Silverado #lsx #LSswap #btr #BrianTooleyRacing #stage3 #truck #cam #mechanic #mechanicsoftiktok #racetruck #work #Wednesday #LFG
