Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

cool work. have you considered a electric power steering pump to run hydraulic hydroboost style brakes? if that is an option just would have to look at power demand that way?

keep it up bud awesome work!!!!

Thanks Sean the EV Community is graduating from electric power steering pumps on the account of them being noisier than the entire electric vehicle and adopting actual electric steering assists from the Prius, please take a gander at my video series on the topic here:

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

Id like to find a budget minded "kit" to do something like this. I dont need a truck to be a world beater performance wise. And I dont need to get 400 miles on a charge. But I do think 200 would be nice because some of the places I go to see family etc would be close to 200 miles round trip. Would be nice not to worry about charging stops.

I know GM is working on having a kit but that would hardly be budget minded. Im not smart enough to do all the engineering you are doing. But I can mount stuff up, make brackets, run wire, that kind of thing.

I hope you get it on the road soon as your lazyjaitus clears up. Fun watching your build and twisted sense of humor.

yeah you should have, I have allowed strays into my house from the forum before, my wife asked one night "what if he is a serial killer" and I asked the guy that and he said, man I wish but I'm just too busy and that takes a real commitment, we all had a great laff

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

Captain's Log Truck Date 3,872

been a long harsh winter here in Northern California, temperatures plummeted well below 70° F and I aint one for wrenchin in my winter shorts

The plan is to pick it up again next month aka March Madness Part II

in the meantime The Greg has gone on winter hiatus in the past so he would like to distract you with his prior project here: A '54 named Busty - LS Swap !!!

if that build is what brought your loyal butt here in the first place you can geek out on the following DIY Electric Car forum: 1971 GMCe Lexus GS450H BMW 530e Tesla Model S powered Electruck and see if you can spot the guy who loves to give me craapp for no reason

those of you who rather sit back and watch some videos and catch up that way, there is the Good Enuff Garage You Tube channel guaranteed to cure your insomnia

if I wasn't in my lazy season I might could post some actual related play lists but these hot wings aint gonna eat themselves

so honestly thank you so much for following along we will be back, bad jokes and even worse craftsmanship I promise

Do they still use the Ready Kilowatt character? I figured they would have dropped him for a more 'hip' guy for the Millenials.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

is he back from the dead?

Electric Truck Update



I think I need a friggen list to remember where I left off and what WE need to do moving forward, this is not in any order:
  • 1. get one of the iBooster brake system to work finally (I now own three of 'em)
  • 2. reassembly the Prius steering assist (I got this working but ripped it all apart to get to work on the brakes see #1 above)
  • 3. hire a specialist (as you call them across the pond) to install a windshield [ahem] windscreen?
  • 4. drop off the Smurf bucket seats at an upholsterer to cover them in some black cow skin
  • 5. Plumb the Inverter, Gear box, (and charger and DC/DC converter, depending on which ones I decide to go with)
  • 7. Wiretize all the low voltage wiring
  • 8. Wiretize all the high voltage orange wiring
  • 9. Install an aftermarket B&M floor shifter, that's been sitting on my garage shelf collecting dust
  • 10. Install some digital gauges (I am having our good forum friend Artur fandangle for me)

I think that plus a million small things and a dozen things I forgot should do it

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

I am looking forward to your electric truck updates. Missed seeing them but I knew you would be back sometime so I just waited and waited and waited. Now a teaser video. I will still wait for you.

LoL here's some sneakpeakness of my regress from today

decided to take a step back and try bleeding the brakes with a brand new manual disc/drum master cylinder to ensure we get a firm steady sturdy brake pedal response, then we will regroup and maybe try the iBooster again
