we had MAJOR ISSUES on the first drive (plus a small crash)

There are always a few bugs to work out on a new project, but the first test drive of the 2nd gen syclone revealed several major drivetrain issues which we need to sort out. luckily with a little help from marketplace and some left over parts we get the Syclone figured out, and then (spoiler alert) almost crash it on the ice.

can't believe I slid it into a curb! I think it'll be OK with a new axle shaft though.

I’m so happy you included the transmission issues and the fix. Anyone that has ever built a vehicle or done any large repairs has run into problems. It’s frustrating watching channels that make it seem as if everything always goes to plan.

Like the fact that you put the good the bad and the ugly in... Keep up the good work... I may have thumped a couple of curbs in my days... 😂

Brake clean will take that white lettering right off of those rubber hose clamps! Loving this build series, beautiful craftsmanship!!

[koybaker]

Im glad that transfer case worked out for ya! I came down to the shop to deliver and LT even fed me lunch couldn't have gone to a better home! Hopefully the damage is nothing major I definitely have done that more times than id like to admit! 😂

[Matt_Sanford]

I’m glad you left the part in about the Converter schedule issue! That’s real world things that happen and it deserves to be seen! 👏👏👏

Open front diff. Killing it in the snow. Great work. Keep the videos coming

LT, those white marking on the heat shrink clamps will likely come off with brake clean or rubbing alcohol.

I felt your pain hitting that curb 😂
My AWD Silverado, basically a copy of yours is coming together. Thanks for the inspiration on that. Great video though!

If you and @SarahnTuned joined forces, the world would tremble with awe at the display of OCD and skill.

Also, in 1988 I slid a Caprice Classic about 500' across sheet ice in a parking lot and ended up on top of a snow pile 25 feet high, so...

Having grown up driving in northern Michigan, that curb shot definitely brought back some painful memories from my teenage years 😅

[ricmorris]

Making good progress. Glad to see the truck under it's own power. Hated to see the curb incident. Glad it wasn't too serious.

My back appreciates you having a table to cut your tubing on instead of the floor!

[teaguegearhart]

I love this build. Good to see you share all the details. Thanks LT

One of the main benefits of having your own shop is having a place to work on your own projects. 👍👍

It happens to the best of us 😂

That such a cool little build man!

Like LT's presentations. Knowledgeable, smoothly delivered and not too much dialog.

[darrenr]

Looking great. Brake clean will take that white lettering off the heat shrink clamps. I love the attention to detail you have on your builds!

Glad I’m not the only one annoyed by the sound of an American V6 😂
