Budget Turbo Yukon XL 4L80 Conversion: The Transmission Crossmember Mod! (100k Play Button Unboxing)

What happens here

With the filler plates tack welded, re-install the entire modified crossmember assembly back under the vehicle. Bolt it into place to verify that all mounting points align correctly and that there is adequate clearance for the transmission and driveshaft. If any adjustments are needed, break the tack welds, adjust, and re-tack. Once satisfactory fitment is achieved, remove the crossmember again for final welding.

Goal: Confirm the tack-welded crossmember fits correctly before final welding.

Tools and materials

  • Safety Glasses — Eye protection during installation
  • Tack-Welded Crossmember — The assembly being test-fitted
  • Wrenches — Bolting the crossmember to the frame

i'm watching like the whole thingy the little thingy dams yeah what are you seeing it just like fluctuates while you're doing stuff it's interesting every one of these days we'll see how good you can weld cool not enthused i'm not just about anything right now just straight up not having a good time man you know we all have those days but we're just here doing it anyway doing the damn thing exactly good for tax now we'll take them over there and verify fitment again okay so now we're gonna put this thingy back up in here too to finalize the lineup of where these are gonna go so it should fit in there nice and snug now because of how these are um how the thickness of this plate occupies the same or roughly the same thickness as the abrasive chop saw blade that made the cut so if you cut it with an eighth inch blade it's going to be anything shorter so we fill that back up with the eighth inch of metal right here so it's the same length again um had these pieces cut long on purpose just so i'd have extra room to work with because check this out what i'll do is when i attack this i'll just weld it up and then chop the ends off and then weld there i could have made it perfect but you know i always like to leave a little bit of extra material when i can just in case because this does move this
