Turbo 5.3L Yukon Stock Fuel Pump Test: When Do You Need a Bigger Pump? (Uncle Rob Hits The Dyno!)

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video introduces the project, a turbocharged GMC Yukon XL named "Uncle Rob." The first step involves essential prep work for the dyno tuning. This includes replacing the old spark plugs with new NGK BR7EF (3346) spark plugs, as the previous plugs were showing signs of breaking up during high-performance runs. Additionally, the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is topped off. A custom-marked 4L60 dipstick is used to accurately measure the transmission pan level for the 4L80 conversion.

Goal: Prepare the vehicle mechanically for dyno tuning and address maintenance issues.

Tools and materials

  • 4L60 Dipstick — Measuring accurate transmission fluid level for the 4L80 conversion
  • Automatic Transmission Fluid — Topping off the transmission fluid
  • GMC Yukon XL GMC — The vehicle undergoing dyno tuning
  • NGK BR7EF — New spark plugs for improved performance and combustion

yep engine's still there we're good this turbo is i believe less than eight hundred dollars how far do you want me to send it this was originally my dad's in 2003 i rode around on this thing as a little kid today is the day it's finally the day after a whole handful of build videos on the transmission conversion it's time to hit the dyno and i'm super pumped because this is way overdue i'm being completely honest uh i did some prep work for this i changed the spark plugs to uh
