I like the ecu mounted behind (or even UNDER?) the seat. I always tend to run atleast a 10” subwoofer in my cars so I can really enjoy my music. There’s so much room under the C10 seat…in my Subaru swap, the ecu is under the back seat, opposite the battery. I installed the OBD2 port in the lower kick panel. I did run a small dedicated 6fuse panel next to the ECU, and another 6fuse,/6 relay panel under the trunk to power the radiator fans, BIG driving lights, horns, etc. The car body itself has its own Painless wiring style fuse box under the dash for everything else the car needs. Can’t stand the old school fuses VWs use. Yanked all that mess out and wired the car from scratch!

Hello Oliver. The 2000 GMC will be the same as this when it comes to the wires that we talked about in this video to get it running. I used a Holley Sniper 19-369 pump on this truck. Whether or not you have to change the tank depends on what you are swapping into. Thanks. Jerry

Question about NSS. Does your wiring for the starter bypass the need to use the NSS on the 4L60e transmission? I’m working on a 1990 Sierra 4.8/4L60e swap and in order to use the factory gear shift I’ll need to remove the NSS from the transmission. I know the 90 Sierra has the mechanical style NSS on the column so I was wondering was there anything I need to do with wiring that comes from the 4L60e NSS. The donor is a 2000 Silverado which uses the same fuse box you’re using in the Video. Thanks!

@UglyTruckExperience

Hey Richard. I use the switch that is on the side of the transmission and also end up having the safety switch from the original truck to begin with, if it had a automatic transmission. I like the ability to look at a scan tool and see as much info as possible, so I just like having that donor ls NSS ( I refer to it as a PRNDL) switch working correctly. They can be bypassed and programmed out of the ecm. I do bypass it in the vehicle being swapped once I have all my wiring done. Eliminating the older wiring and working with the newer. I hope that makes sense. Jerry

@@UglyTruckExperience Thanks for the response! So if you use the donor NSS do you have to wire anything into the old truck wiring? Also what do you do for the shift linkage? Modify it to work with the factory shifter and NSS or is there a kit that needs to be purchased to make it work?

I got a 73 ford f350 i want to do a engine swap in. Ive never done a ls swap. I think this would be a good candidate for one. Rats ate all the wiring in the truck. So im going to get a wiring harness for it. Love to hear your input and what you think.

Great Video Guys. Im doing a 87 chevy 5.3 and 2wd 4l80e swap. I have some questions ab the trans maybe you could point me to another vid or answer. first what trans are you using in the video? I watched a conversion video from Godspeed and his harness from a 4L60 to 4L80e swap. he changed pins on the PCM and the VSS sensors on the trans plug. BUT he never tied it into the rear 02 ports like you did to give it power. My rear 02 sensors will be removed from my pcm. How do I make my trans work!?

Hello Benjamin. We have not done the 700r4 transmission on a swap and I am not sure if the VSS is something that can be tuned out of it. I will send a message to the guy that programs our computers tomorrow and see what he has to say. The engine uses the speed and whatever gear it is in to come up with calculated load and make adjust from that info. We have done 4L60e transmissions and then had to convert a mechanical VSS to electrical for that reason. I will get back to you with what I find out. Jerry

Hey Benjamin, here's the response from the programmer: "A vss is a good idea for improved drivability and idle control. Some will require it like DBW engines or you can get stalling conditions coasting to a stop. If the 700r4 has a factory vss it will likely work, if it has cable drive speed sensor, you can use the Dakota digital sen-01-4160 inline speed sensor."

You need to run your fuel pump from it's own power source from the battery and make sure it is turned on by the ECM. You wouldn't want a fuel pump to be running with key on. You need it to prime when the key is turned to the run position and then only run when the engine is actually running. Whatever you are using for a ECM should control the fuel pump relay. Jerry

Hello Jay. It depends on what state you live in on what you will need to do for emissions and what you are swapping. When I send them to the programmer I ask him to remove what emissions that I do not need. The ECM will continue to make all of the emissions work correctly, but just will not turn on a check engine light for that emission. Hope this makes sense. Jerry
