What happens here
This video documents the ongoing project of building a turbo-charged GMC Yukon XL, affectionately nicknamed "Uncle Rob," for an event called "Yellowbelly." The episode focuses on resolving persistent ECU issues, performing initial tuning for oversized injectors and a new turbo setup, and preparing the vehicle for further upgrades, including a new fuel system and transmission work. The process involves test drives, iterative tuning adjustments using HP Tuners, and addressing unexpected mechanical challenges like cooling fan wiring.

(20,001 characters)this is not how we work on customer cars where's the knock [ __ ] this transmission used to take me to football practice in fifth grade okay i hated football practice and it took me there anyway so i'm gonna make it pay for that so if you're new here you haven't seen the last video we had some major issues with the ecu and uncle rob not letting hp tuners connect to it or flash to it so it was a brick it couldn't move and we went to the junkyard did some digging found a couple new pcms to try out got it working again if you want to learn about that process and how to pick the right ones and fix that issue if you've had a similar issue or just want to prepare yourself for that potential issue if you have one of these i highly recommend going to look at those videos you can check out the uncle rob playlist on my channel to see everything about this build and this is the new gas tank um that will be used with the the bigger deechworks fuel system that we're going to put in here after we get this new lift installed this big hog right here is going to go somewhere right over there yeah maybe i'll do that tomorrow go to the freaking dealership and get a couple big tails i have the right fans for this well super tuner tanner can you explain in a more tactical sense what exactly you're messing with in there to make this work right well we've got 1500 cc's we've probably got a mixture of like e30 we could probably send it right now it's probably close enough but i want him to trim fuel at idle i i kind of want it to be somewhat right not so rigged yeah for the people's track yeah for some background we have 1500 cc injectors plugged into everything else is stock these are huge injectors the escalade has 2 thousands and it's making over 2 000 horsepower so this is like way way way more injector than this thing needs it's way more injector than this turbo could ever even use but it's the last set of injectors we'll ever have to get for this thing super tuner tanner has to do some questionable things to make it happy at idle there let me come down dumb it down then more fuel less fuel [Music] is that what we're doing here sure let's go drive it wow all right oh we still got a little john hanging on the side here you almost chopped him off yeah i can cut some weight should i get in there okay are you going to stop no am i like parker all right well needs more cowbell this is tuning people i don't care what anybody says it's not going to do a burnout i know i just want to launch it this is tuning if you've ever been in the vehicle with your tuner yeah while they're doing in-person tuning it's drive around for a little bit shut it off turn it on car dies clicks buttons shut it off turn it on shut it off turn it on car dies clicks button shut it off turn it on then it works and then you drive around and do that same thing [Music] did you ever turn up the transmission pressure or anything no can we to keep this thing alive because i feel like it's gonna die like instantly it's dying right now that's good it's definitely dying right now i don't trust it i don't have a good feeling about this bus right here oh here comes the stop shut it off turn it back on pressing what you doing see uh we got a zero zero mile an hour that's good that's about accurate where's the knock [ __ ] that's not all oh he's at the box hey look it's candy man's candy van oh yeah that's that's from the wall that's from cooper's house oh that's throwback yeah already highlighting the cells that we hit during that little thing there and adding a percentage to them yeah i'm kind of making a judgment call on them too thinking spots that i know we're probably going to need more fuel so you're just kind of gauging based on oh dang i wonder where this charger was i've had this thing since high school what is this that's to keep it from breaking it still works this thing is this is seven years old eight years old and it still works that guy just went he's as confused as we are he went down the wrong side of the road and now he's trying to recover like it never happened boy we saw that well we're just gonna tell mr4l60 here that that one pull never happened did this die again yeah it's being a [ __ ] on me is there like something we forgot to plug back in maybe it's better they're just working on that the tip-in stumble yeah i think we really really need a fuel system that can like that wickedness just something we can regulate it better with i don't think the factory regulator is doing too hard right now yeah well you know look at that we trimming fuel now you know we have the whole fuel system ready to go yeah we don't need that tank it lines everything it kind of you know what it kind of sounds like we need it it kind of does but this build is for science and we're going to show you why you need it by struggling with this all day isn't that right super to entertainer i just love how it sounds like it just never gets old that i think tanner likes the personal challenge to figure things out that people don't want to try and that's what separates him from the rest i think we're ready for yellow belly that had nothing to do with tuning you just wanted to do that well there's somebody coming dale dude dude everybody just calmed down just take it easy man whoa just take it easy man hold on we're gonna put some train sauce in it on the way back yeah i don't know why we haven't done that yet we're literally killing it every single time we floor it could be the last and you're gonna make me have to get a trailer tomorrow i want you to go out there i want you to put everything on that line out of range an accident every pool i want you to be as if it is your last pose that's how we live life in 4l60 land here it's fairy dust it doesn't exist you're just on fire today no i literally my phone was on fire when everybody in their dog from texas called me so what is that the line pressure table yeah is there a different pressure table for every shift change yeah so how's that work there's like three four over there yeah you know something happened how did it nor this is there's normal in performance what does performance do is it like pass the third and throttle position it uses performance he was gonna have it with this video what somebody's gonna be in this situation no no no i saw somebody else staple this video doing it i know it works you know people say oh yeah i saw it on youtube they saw it here yeah i could put 1500 cc injectors in my stock truck and make it work look out youtube did it meanwhile their tuners like i told you not to buy these they're too big it's not going to run right we got super tuna tanner over here like let's make it work and make everybody mad cause problems for tuners everywhere pretty much you know what the most famous line you hear and what performance job is what well i saw a lot right yeah we are online we are you're seeing it online cowbells are going again oh we got more cowbell courtesy of snyder tire i dig that like old 60s facade like i'm all about it i'd rock that building are the fans on oh the deal probably came on no no not the fans oh this is the bad spot too what's why did we park in the middle of the road to do this i don't know but always says the best block because that bad spot we're just here we're just living it now do you know how to open i'm doing something wrong here i think i think you are this isn't the board okay more than fan wires at oh yeah came off yeah how is this supposed to work i don't i don't what what was your plan with this i think he just shoved this cap over here no it was [Music] do you want to do with the never dad this doesn't work explain this this is my fault for setting a bad example just shove it on i take full responsibility for setting this bad example here what if i this is not how we work on customer cards this makes this very obvious you taught me that john bingo every time i hear that oh we're good we're good twist is dick no we're not good give him the old dick twist does everybody work does everybody work on cars with their friends like this or are we just like extra dumb i'm wondering that because this stuff happens whether the camera's on or not and it's just how it be so turn the camera on so you guys can see how goofy this stuff really is we are still in the middle of the road by the way i don't know why i had it bolted to the terminal and i just turned ran the fans by unplugging them okay let's go oh there's a wrench here we need that 17-millimeter ratchet wrench that's a keeper right there i don't want oh yeah i forgot to put that in too it's kind of playing around there that's my fault preview to the next t-shirt logo yeah coming soon stay tuned you didn't hear it from me so that's how many pounds it's on just so if everybody wanted to know really yes because we have a map sensor that we can read now okay so 10 pounds that's like a good bit i mean it's more i'll take the fans well we're going to be moving here in a second because tanner's going to make a poll and try to blow this thing up before we get to race don't do it no johnny don't do it definitely did i think the trans was actually slipping less that time because it felt faster we're good this is how we're gonna send it to yellow we're gonna leave it alone before i blow it up okay yeah i know it's too addicting to to do that because now i want to do it too wait a mustang really it's absolutely oh there's too much incline the fuel went to the back that's why i died oh i'm just kidding still too much incline we don't need the idle should we put some more ethelenol in there and like make sure it's ready to go yeah that way we can at least idle and i can get up to the line without looking like an idiot that would help hold on we're gonna we're gonna reverse and do that again and get that on the wall go in reverse you want to get that on the log yeah let's see if it actually changes the something i i just want to know i just want to see what what the fuel is doing when it does it well hey good news the fans are still on okay so i think we got it figured out so what what did you change to keep it from dying it was it was we were fighting so much on the fueling for the injectors to idle that we pulled so much out in one spot and then when you would go to tip in it would literally the injectors would shut off and now they don't and they give it fuel so it doesn't do it the dip is not dipping as much i'm not sure exactly what any of that means i mean i i understand it but like i can't see it on the screen because he like didn't show me when he was doing it so i can't tell you guys about it either i really want to i think tanner hates me no they can send me i love this 3.99 and they can see the screen i'm just kidding no 350. yeah now you got to put the you got to put the south park guy in there we're going to need about 350. working good now i think we're ready for yellow back on the island oh it does it does uh i'm so ready to get beyond the basic phase with this thing like just slap a turbo on it and make it work and actually do the fuel system and the transmission and all that stuff i still gotta find that's off to you i still got to get a torque converter and a transfer case everything else we have is ready to go hopefully gonna get that lift bolted up in the next couple days here and after this yellow belly outing um we'll pick it up there and start tearing it apart yeah just oh that'll do donkey that'll do donkey this thing has to be making over 400 of the tires yeah it felt it felt really good it felt like a brand new part it looks so boring i want to paint the intercooler and the pipes and stuff so it looks more boring but like guys it's really hard to make good thumbnails of this thing because it's so boring looking like i don't think you understand the struggle here i'm trying to make an appealing thumbnail so people who don't already know about this thing will be like oh that's cool looking then click on the video but like how do you make this cool looking some someone tell me i need help what are you doing are you getting your thumbnail here super tune retainer super tuning well there you go there's there's your thumbnail you just watched that process happen continuing getting uncle rob ready for yellow belly we're about to leave here soon i gotta do a few things to uncle rob to get him ready before we go to yellow belly like fix the fans like how you know we had that fan wire keep coming off i'm just gonna bolt it straight to the battery and use this to plug it in like i was before uh they kind of took that apart also i have to put the battery mount back in so this doesn't rattle around and have the positive post hit the fender and ground or something because that's very possible that that could happen i may uh put something over that too like i might rtv this on top of that little bolt just to not set stuff on it hey [ __ ] i'm filming i'm filming you want me to get copyrights trucking or something like that you know how difficult it is to film stuff in here people over there play music real loud until five o'clock it's all it's not english but it's copyright music i can't film while it's happening so yeah pretty much once we get the lift bolted in it's all going to be like you know wrenching takes place after hours mostly unless you know maybe i could hang some kind of tarp here to muffle the sound a little bit and play my own uh like creative commons music over it so it doesn't um doesn't cause a problem copyright strikes are a real thing it's a big deal this is crusty as heck and no it's not going to be happy to go in there but i will cross thread this thing home if i have to hey baylor you know who's coming to yellow belly plank any towing service i'm your man now i'm a changed man if you know you know a little john asks are you going to bring the trailer and i said no we're just going to go get it if something happens like if the transmission blows up yeah if yeah keep in mind the fourth tally on here of my personal lifetime achievement here includes this transmission no the 460 tab no the tower's already counted yeah i know why over here though because that's the knight that yeah yeah where you got your one star tonight yes you backed into someone yeah i didn't back into anybody they're backed into someone no the trailer did not back up i assure you he didn't he didn't hook it up trailer went forward the trailer rear-ended my truck exactly yeah there's a big old dent in elvis's tailgate because little john didn't hook the ball up and it went boom yeah maybe maybe uncle rob won't melt the transmission tonight it was anything like last night i couldn't really tell what was happening last night i don't know i think we're just gonna i think up there's a i think we're good i think it's probably 60 40. 60 percent it'll make it forty percent it won't it depends how many passes we make good ratio i think i say seventy thirty seventy good or something bad oh okay leave your comment here do you think uncle rob's transmission's gonna melt how many passes do you think it will last that's a better one that's a better one i got a better idea i'd say it's good for at least four how many passes do you you just said that because i said four yeah here we go how many do you think i say six i don't know five's a good number that's a good number i say nine he says six so put that together six nine 69 passes this transition used to take me to football practice in fifth grade okay i hated football practice and it took me there anyway so i'm gonna make it pay for that tonight is the night that everybody has been waiting for dude i am so excited i'm so excited everybody yellow belly's been waiting for uncle rob and the best part is i bet we're going to be there and a lot of them aren't even going to know this is uncle rob they're just going to think it's a yukon what's going to be so upsetting is when they hear the turbo and everybody their dog bets on you and this like leaves like an absolute turd yeah do you think we should spray the intercooler black real quick let's do it spray paint it black yeah just through here no we'll take it we'll take the grill off and paint it first but yeah all right let's pop this grill off 350 last minute racing 350. remember 350 350. here get let me see that hog here oh you wanna no i just i wanna i wanna be precise about this can you film people wanted you to see you behind the camera more really they don't like seeing you in front of the camera oh okay you got a face from behind the camera okay no i'm kidding you got that you just have good commentary are you kidding though what are you kidding though no no people actually did say that your bonus footage was great sweet all right here we go wow look how you've done this before a couple times oh you should put a 69 or a socket we got like silver paint oh yeah we can paint over the paint it's all good we can paint over the paint put that on a t-shirt paint over the paints all right look at all the drops yeah we can we can paint over the paint it's fine i don't want you on the on the lens dude yeah let's just throw the whole thing black hey all right he's stepping out they are stepping in go ahead rust remover rust be gone spray paint over the rust plastic summit racing equipment right on here over this paint that we already painted on here by accident should have just done this first but you know hindsight's 20 20. you know what you live in the wood [Applause] you paint my hand baylor i swear to god you can tell who's experienced who is it that's what she said what's happening right now i don't know i don't think anybody does you know what we'll just paint over the clouds you know why because you can paint over paint yes sir no one will know how will they know rust be gone they're gonna know how will they know how will they know run be gone no one will know the rust be gone they were just here to do stuff yeah man with i don't know how far you can see in there that's good i think that's good well you might as well do this this right here the condenser yeah you're probably right hey double intercooler baylor that's not how you spray does the exact same thing we just need to fog it so it's got less contrast hey it's paint over that it don't matter paint over the hood latch too we've been painting yeah yeah all right let's hold this up here and see what you can see see how let's not forget i mean we are in oh wait let's take the tape off nah leave it on there just shove it on there damn it no we're not leaving it on here we're just mocking it up oh it looks so good oh this page doesn't look good like that well let's do yours you can't see it you can't well if you looked really hard but if you're in the lanes of yellow belly you're not looking for an intercooler and a stock yukon because there are stock yukons there i can't see it as good right that's what we're looking at we're going after you have to look for it really bleeds in because we painted the other one black yeah so it just looks like one yeah that that was the key right there whose idea was that major key do you want credit for something no no whose idea was that it wasn't mine i think it was mine but i don't i'm not gonna take credit cause i don't do that i don't know because the candy man is the people person yeah i'm the people's person uh oh put the jb weld on it yeah this is how we're going to do this here now it won't come off no oh you did oh okay that looks good hey he's professional no more freaking ecu welding that was bad you know what look this is like a bag of skittles in here look just why don't you eat one taste of breakfall taste it right okay thank you for your services uh bendpak summit racing plastic we appreciate you that's why you never throw anything away because you can always use garbage yeah now having a place to put all of your garbage is…
