Ready For More Power! Boosted 5.3L Yukon XL DW400 Fuel Pump Install (Uncle Rob Ready To Turn Up!)

What happens here

The video introduces the project, which is to upgrade the fuel system of a GMC Yukon XL after a previous dyno test revealed limitations with the stock fuel pump. The primary component for this upgrade is a DeatschWerks (DW) 400 fuel pump sending unit. A used fuel tank from a 2008 Suburban, which has a larger opening for the sending unit, is chosen as a replacement for the original tank.

Goal: Understand the project scope and identify key components for the fuel system upgrade.

Tools and materials

  • DeatschWerks — Upgrading the vehicle's fuel pump capacity
  • Fuel Tank — Replacement fuel tank with a larger opening
  • GMC Yukon XL GMC — The vehicle undergoing the fuel system upgrade

he's original okay number's matching in the last video we just had uncle rob on the dyno for the very first time with the 480 conversion that we just finished up pretty good power but not good enough i won't ruin the number for you it's fun it's very fun to drive but we did it with the stock fuel pump just to see how much power could you make like reliably with the stock fuel pump so you know like not in danger of leaning out pump gas 93 stock fuel pump with boost just put some injectors in and go that's what we were testing the test was successful let me tell you it's pretty freaking awesome if you haven't seen that video you need to go watch that now we are taking it to the next level with a fuel pump whole fuel system the rest of the fuel system from ditchworks this is the main unit right here with the 400 pump the whole basket and everything it just drops right in however it does not drop into the tank that is in here we have a different tank it's actually from a 2008 so they have a bigger bigger hole we'll see what we're talking about when we get this one out but first step of the process here is to get the tank out um me and logan took uncle rob to the gym and grocery store and stuff earlier today to get some of the gas out of there and man so much fun to drive dude like just everything all the rust falling in my face is totally worth it like just sitting there hearing that turbo noise it's got power to pass people for days without even flooring it and i'm just amped that's why i'm under here about to get this done because i want this power i need more power before we go to streetcar takeover so we can race people and freaking win or destroy them that's the goal here so first order of business um we got a bolt here for the strap bolt there for the strap and i think i'm going to use the jack to kind of hold it up right there because we're going to lower the tank a bit and then we've got to unhook all the stuff on top of the tank to get the rest of the way out so let's get at it well i've got the training jack there i'm just going to loosen these before i get them out of the way but here we go rusticles raining today
