i hope this is helpful but when soldering a wire like that put the heat source below both wires and hold the solder on top when the solder melts it will go through the wires and not just sit on the outside, thanks for the video!

Awesome video! How many working hours do you think you had into abandoned to drivable?

About 1.5-2 months, but I got lucky and found a used motor pretty fast. Then a couple months to work out all the hidden issues.

Cluster is normal for going out. Mine has 332000 miles and runs strong.

Hey, if you ever owned a Chevy Avalanche, you would understand why it was abandoned😅.

@MattsShop oh, I'm not sure. Other than I believe the Avalanche to be one of GM's worst ideas. I mean, if you're going to buy an Avalanche, why not just buy a real truck.

How much did you need up spending on it?
