They looked like the exact fit ones other than that little protruding plastic tooth that I had to modify but I guess im just gonna buy new ones. Do you know a part number or anything that would get me the sensors with the correct plug using a CPW harness? They make them with so many different plugs on them.lol
The ones I'm running are Bosch, part number 13026. They are for a 99' Silverado, I swicthed my throttle body from a drive by wire to a cable driven unit and therefore Jared at CPW used a tune from a 99 silv. for the intake and emissions stuff so even though the engine is an 04' I had to use the older version O2's. I had originally bought two for a 04 tahoe which was what the motor was from and when I got them home it was the same deal as yours...connectors didnt fit, I called Jared and he told all the details about the 99' stuff, not sure if this is your situation but it might help.

Re: The 95 LS10 "green machine"

Thanks for all the help so far everyone. I called Jared today and he said I needed O2 sensors for a 99-02 camaro so I ordered them immidately after and put them on my truck and it seemed to behave much better, it got up to temp and I took it around the block and everything was perfect. thinking this fixed the problem I got in a back alley and ripped the tires clean through 3rd and almost lost control and wrecked into a dumpster man that was fun. But anway, right after that it started doing it a again...FUCK! Limped it back to the shop, shut it off, let it sit for 10 mins, fire it up and it runs perfect again WTF! I hooked it to an OBD2 scanner and it said the idle air motor could be bad which might explain why it takes the idle a min to come back down, but im gonna try and replace that anyway, I dont know what else to do.

Thanks! Yep, you can de-gay you truck just like I did mine, but you will need a harness custom made for your truck. Anyways its still acting up. I will try and get some pics of the truck tomorrow and get some pics of the exhaust.

haha, nope. Just took the clutch pedal off and blocked off the hole in the firewall for the clutch master and blocked off the hole in the floor. I have a skinny brake pedal with an auto but it doesnt bother me.

Re: The 95 LS10 "green machine"

haha I put shreveports finest because thats where s10's are made and I like s10s. But anyway updates.....I took the truck and started the tuning until the tranny stopped shifting on its own and wont have 1st gear and starts out in second and lost 4th so im getting ready to replace it with a 4L65e I got here at the shop. I didnt finish the map session of the tunning at faster proms but MAN does it pull hard for having a fucked tranny and half ass tune. 100 mph is just childs play, Oh and the constant fouling of the plugs was mostly in part do to my 02 sensor wiring harness being criss crossed. I also had bought a narrowed 8.5 10 bolt housing from a 79 camaro and built it up with a auburn LSd richmond 3.73, crush sleeve eliminator and a t/a girdle to hold it together....here are some pics and 2 vids for now

Re: The 95 LS10 "green machine"

Started on the tranny swap. I got a 4L65e from an 05 escalade. But yea, this is such a PITA to change this thing. I cant believe how bad everything wants to hit the tranny tunnel, esp on the drivers side.


Had to cut a hole on the firewall to access that bellhousing bolt

The engine

hole

since I forgot to post pics of the exhaust I took some while it was out




The 65L is already in and I got most of the hard shit out of the way. Just gotta hook up the exhaust, crossmember and drive shaft and I should be back on the road.

Honestly. Yes, it really really was. I think for some reason my engine wants to angle towards the drivers side because of the mounts or whatever. Being crammed under a frame machine with no tranny jack certainly didnt help matters either. Yea this truck really sucks to work on. But the tranny is in and its running again but still not shifting properly, infact its doing the same exact thing the old tranny did which means it was never bad in the first place. The truck is at jared's "CP wiring" right now and hes looking over a few things that could effect the shift points because they are all fixed at redline.

Re: The 95 LS10 "green machine"

Ooook. The truck shifts like a dream and I couldnt be happier. I picked it up from CP wiring last week and have been driving it to school since. The shifting problem turned out to be 2 wires on the a/c low pressure switch in the wrong pins. I figured it would be something completely retarded and I would go and change the tranny for nothing but at least I have a 4L65 in it now.lol Jared fixed it free of charge on his personal time. and took responsibility for it, more great customer service to attest for CP wiring. But to be honest, it does help to live only 30 miles from the place.lol

Dont get me wrong, I love the bone stock sleeper look of the truck and it freaks out sooo many ppl that would never expect it to have a 5.3 in it, but I ordered some new C6 vette rims for it today cuz the stock 205 tires just wont hook up at all even with the badass 3.73 posi. But anyway......fotos!!!

hahaha thanks. Yea I was thinking the same thing spare tires all the way around I might do that to a separate set just for the hell of it, but the other night driving home on I-275 I was playing with a new porsche 911 carerra 4s and he flew past me just thinking it was a stock pos s10 then he got the biggest downshift from hell and quickly realized it wasnt stock The moral of this story is, I think he went out and started looking for a fast car after friday night.haha I love this thing

Yea basically. Didnt have to but I did. I mean the way it was acting anyone would have thought it was bad. Oh well, at least I replaced it with a stronger unit instead of another 4L60e

Re: The 95 LS10 "green machine"

Well heres the truck as it is now. 5/5 drop and I put on new ZR1 replicas with a 285/35/19 tire rear and 245/35/18 tire up front. It wants to hook up alot better now with these tires but the wheel hop got 100x's worse. Time for caltracs. I definitly don't think theres another s10 quite like mine now.lol Hope you like it.

Re: The 95 LS10 "green machine"

Thanks so much for the compliments guys. After im out of school I want to do a rear mount turbo right where the x-pipe is now, and order some 60# injectors as well. But my question is, how much boost is the stock ecu capable of accounting for? Also what kind of turbos are alot of the lsx guys using for single applications? I was gonna just order a big ass holset because I hear these engines can spool damn near anything. Thoughts?

Haha thanks man. If it wasnt for you bumping this I would have totally forgotten about this thread.lol I have maybe 2 inches between the pan and the ground but it really doesnt bother me because I have alot of experience from drivng cars that were almost laying body static so im careful. I only hit the pan once on a diagonal speed bump.lol (avoid those)

Well my dad got an entire totaled 05 4wd yukon to part and the guy said take whatever you want off of it for $500 so I ended up getting the engine and tranny for baisically free with only 5k miles on them both. I sold the 4wd tranny and bought a 4L65e 2wd. The free engine is what inspired me to do it and reading threads on here. Little did I know the engine is a small part of the swap, a very very small part.

I got 500 for the trany because it had virtually no miles on it. Started making some of the exhaust plumbing for the turbo.

haha, its not that its not fast, it really is and it can be tuned to be a little faster. But my definition of fast is different from most peoples, being in the high end body shop buisness I get to drive alot of Z06's, ferraris, turbo porsches, ect. Driving those ruined me for life.lol

The hose you are talking about leads to the coolant steam crossover tube on the heads. It's for relieving coolant pressure in the heads, all LSX's have them. I just ran mine back into the upper rad hose.
