The half silver/half black plastic box you are touching in that one pic IS the cruise control box.

put in another hour today and attempted to slip the exhaust off which got me know where
and got the drive shaft loose in the most awkward spot
tried to remove the cruise box connector for about 5 min until it hit me it belongs with the bcm and not pcm
just have the ground straps on and the torque arm once i remove that ill use the 3/4 gun to quickly loosen the k
hoping to put in 3 hours tomorrow and having it way out of the car.

I think his Dad works on big trucks. Probably has a 1" set too.

But why you'd need anything over 1/2" to take a bolt off a 4th gen is way beyond me.

On removing the LS1, heres a thought and don't jump on me all at once for suggesting it. My brother's Fiero we remove the engine by dropping the cradle using a jack/jacks and a furniture trolley, we use the crane on the body and just lift the body up high enough to slip the engine out from under it. Could that same principle be applied to an LS1 4th gen? It may be easier that way.

Take it from a guy who rebuilt a TPI 350 with ruined bearings... Pay attention to the bearing surfaces and look for material. Can also cut open the oil filter and look for shavings. The bearings, crank and cam damage combined I found wound up having me replacing the crank and cam as well. I was going to leave the cam alone til I realized at someone's suggestion that shavings in the oil mean shavings in the oil galleries and the rest of the lubrication system. Had I not pulled the cam I would have just destroyed a freshly rebuilt motor. So pull it all apart and have it tanked and cleaned out at a machine shop. I tried at home with brake cleaner and etc. No way I would have gotten all the crap out.

Your BCM is on the firewall behind the dash, not under the hood or fenders. Keep with the updates though!

Gotcha 3/4 just sounds like trouble on a car though.


Think when he said the cruise belongs with the bcm he meant wiring wise as in it doesnt go to the ecm .... No idea honestly.
