Jerry is a wizard with wiring. I was scratching my head when the low beams quit on my k10. I put in a LMC headlight relay harness to stop burning up the switches. I will dig into it tomorrow. Excellent white board work

I was just thinking about how to add tow/haul while working on my 1986 crew cab C30 6.0/4L80E swap. Outstanding video and information again as usual! Keep it coming and that sponsorship will happen for you guys. I promote your channel to everyone I meet that has LS swap questions. Thanks!!

@UglyTruckExperience it had about 240000 when it hydro-locked a piston on startup. After the rebuild, I've only put 10k or so on it. It's not a daily driver, so it's very low miles per year now that I'm retired. When I tore it apart to do the rebuild, it looked like a very low mileage engine. The iron block LS engines seem to be long-running beasts.

Great videos, learning more everyday. I’m swapping a Gen 3 6.0 into a Ford Ranger 4x4.

My swap doesn't have a BCM. I do have a tow haul switch on my center console. If I ever want to hook it up I'll definitely reference this video. Guess I should hang on to the BCM out of my donor.

If your running a BCM you could also run all the security stuff so you wouldn't have to disable VATS. Sure is easier if it's deleted though.

do you need the BCM for tow haul mode? I tossed mine out when I stripped my donor vehicle... any benifits using tow/haul mode if the ls swap is in a caprice thats not towing at all?

I want to swap the rearview mirror from my donor Silverado over to my 94 S10 5.3 swap project. Ive got the mirror and temp sensor with somenof the wiring. Would be nice to have outside temp and a compass in a older vehicle.

Please show how to wire a stand alone tow haul mode light if not using the original gauges.

@pirateofms

2 ай бұрын

It's not really something you can do. The cluster receives data from the BCM that tells it to turn on the light, so unless you're willing to swap the cluster in, there's no way to decode the serial data.

@johntucker803

2 ай бұрын

I was thinking about this... they make momentary switches that have a built in light on a separate circuit. Maybe something like that could work?

@UglyTruckExperience

2 ай бұрын

Hello John. The problem is that the ECM controls whether the tow/haul mode is really on. Without it sending a message from through a data signal to a module that would indicate it is working, you wouldn't know for sure. Jerry

@johntucker803

2 ай бұрын

@@UglyTruckExperienceJerry! Hey brother! Yeah, I understand ya. I was talking for more of a dummy/reminder light that the T/H button had been pushed. The light won't tell you if the function of the ECM is working, but rather that you pushed/flipped the switch you wired up to turn on T/H mode. Even now that I write this, I don't know 100% if this is possible because if the data wire gets hit with 12v when you turn on the switch it's game over... LOL.

When Im diagnosing electric problems the first thing I do is cut those solder seal connectors off and tell the customers to never let people use them, too many intermittent bad connections when the solder melts but just sits on the wire and does not penetrate the strands. Works one minute then cuts out with vibration and temperature change. nothing screams amateur more than those things. When soldering wires or pipes etc you actually heat the wire or the pipe and the radiant heat will melt the solder and it will flow toward the heat. Solder seal does the opposite which is a bad idea from the beginning

Hey Derek. I would agree with you to some point. Up until the amateur comment. I have had problems with most types of connections that I do and have done them all. Deciding which one to use is just something that a person has do and go through that learning curve on there own. I just want people to get out there and do it no matter what and learn from their experience. I have wired thing and had them fail over time that ended up being the greatest learning experience for me. I am sure you have to. Thank you for watching and I do appreciate you commenting. Jerry

Does the tow/haul indicator in the gauge cluster receive its signal via the data wire? If instead it just gets a (+) or (-) signal from the pcm OR bcm to light the bulb, couldn’t you just run a universal indicator bulb on the dash? There’s gotta be a way to isolate that signal to have a stand alone signal…

@351cat

The BCM only sends a data signal, unfortunately. The light is illuminated by the cluster's internal module via data only. No voltage signal.

There is a guy that makes a module to run an indicator light along with momentary switch to activate tow haul mode. He calls it a swap smart module. There is a video about it and has a group on Facebook.
