1. Thank you, brother, greetings to you from Saudi Arabia

2. Does the stock ECU calculate the torque using the Mass Airflow Sensor, Throttle position sensor, and vehicle speed sensor to tell the transmission how to act? Performance Transmission touched base on this briefly in one of his videos but not in detail enough for me to understand. You said all you was concerned with was the alternator and AC wiring as far as stock wiring harness under the hood goes. I have a 1999 Tahoe 5.7 4WD and intend on getting the Pro flow 4 (the black intake, ramjet style) I am in for a challenge here and could use any advice you might offer as far as wiring. Will I need a 411 computer if I am getting the Pro Flow 4? I have a 4L60E 4wd. I fear transmission failure if I do not interface the sensors to the transmission somehow, how do you bridge the gap? This was also my fathers truck, I am also in the Cincinnati area. Love your videos, Thank You Very Much!

3. 33:45 For a sec there I thought those were scratches on your battery mount, I mean you just got it painted and I thought it already got ruined 😂😂😂

4. I have a 94 two door Yukon. Is there a place I can buy new wiring connectors to replace the busted up ones I have in my door panels and interior? It is oddly difficult for me to find parts for the 94 Yukon 2 door.

5. Thank you so much, I’m doing a very similar swap and your great work is helping me do a proper job.
   Again I’m grateful for your post.

6. What wiring diagram book is that, Im doing an interior rebuild on a ‘92 with a lot of electrical issues

7. Candy Suxxx

8. i like the real up lights too i put the same light in my 68 pu and i put the summit set up for my fans were it has the thermostat and relay switch then i put a serpentine belt set up with fan and electric fans . i got a motor home then pulled the engine witch was a 454 ho or stroke 454 with comes with a lot of motor homes can even be a LS 6 454 in some of them and they have a heavy duty 400 turbo dual electric fans oil cooler trans cooler and all the pluming i got 2 motor homes for free with damage one only had 6000 miles on it the other had 38,000 miles on it on the paper work on the one with 6000 miles said steel crank heavy rods 450 hp at 485 torque crate engine the other one is the same putting it in my camaro i get a lot of rv's just for the engines i got a ford with a 428 and a dodge with a 440 mag all have automatics but the same one's they put in the heavy trucks so they are all ready built trans just need to put the stage 3 shift kit in them and stall and they really work good tricks of the trade to get engines and parts for cheap like my 454 would cost 8000 to order a new one the trans is about 4500 but free is a very good price so far i have 2200 in my 68 all the drive train is dun frame up just needs painted and interior dun running a tunnel ram really came a live with that

9. That cloth-like electrical tape is the same tape that #humblemechanic uses. It’s the kind of tape that is used in VWs / German cars quite frequently, so that may be who you got it from?

10. Thanks Eric! I've learned a lot from this engine bay / engine section!

11. What do you call those blue plastic plug caps on the ac pipes, and where do you buy them?

12. Kandy

13. what is the ems system that is being ran?

14. Great video !!!

15. Eric, I know it's pretty late, but the switch on the dash for the AC kind of bugs me. Why not use a trinary switch that turns the fans on automatically when the compressor pressures up?

16. The butt connectors made me cringe to be honest

17. Lost my shit when he said candy 😂😂😂

18. They just put blank so you know it wasn’t a printing error

19. they call that light in the engine bay an ibiza light in australia, even more reason to keep it 😀

20. Ibiza light

21. Ah the joys of wiring. Im going to have fun when I have my engine out of my truck. Going to redo all the aftermarket circuits I added into a nice contained harness to clean everything up.

    Its a good idea to avoid relays with cheap harness kits you find online. I opted for a empty universal fuse/relay box for my truck for my headlight relays I installed, my driving light relay, and for providing fuses for my aftermarket accessories. I got the empty box for $12 vs spending $20 for the box with relays that are most likely Chinese junk.

22. You said you won't use the plastic conduit again… what do you use instead?

23. Do you still work on customer vehicles, or a full time youtuber?

24. Worked with a/c alot. Would it be easier to run from the high side cutout switch? No fuss with other switches. Just an idea. Awsome series!! Your dad is gonna freakin love what you did!! Did your brother do anything with the boat?

25. My uncle has a 89 Chevy Blazer and his real light is on the firewall

26. Lmao a “Manuél” anytime soon again…

27. Rivnuts will change your life, Eric. lol

28. your dad has a 30 year old dog and we're not going to talk about it?

29. I'm @therealmcfly72 on Twitter by the way, no idea what I'm doing on social media. Thank you for all the knowledge.

30. There is no me without you…if you have any questions feel free to ask or email me! Thanks

31. I like the tape for the hvac vents. Wouldn't have put 2 nd 2 together. Keeping that in the back pocket.

32. A blank page that is not blank because it has blank on the page.

33. Eric, I need to make a second comment about another one of my favor tools, the deburring tool. I saw you using the file on the hole you drilled in the sheet metal fan shroud and thought the is the perfect job for the deburring tool.

34. Hey eric do you like eminem?

35. Eric The Car Guy is like that awesome uncle you are excited to see that has the most awesome sense of humor and you're afraid to disappoint him.
    Go Eric! ✊
