I bought a CHEAP Cummins with “blown trans” on marketplace! Can i fix ‘n flip it?

Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]Hey guys, welcome to another video. If you're new here, my name is Travis.

[00:00:03]That's my dad. His name is Rick. And today we're here in Sierra Vista to pick up this uh Dodge Cumins, a second gen Cumins. So, how I came across this second gen is I picked up a rear end on Facebook to put in my Cumins. I switched that from 411s to 354s. When I was down here picking up the rear end, the guy said, "Hey, I got this Cumins for sale.

[00:00:27]Um, are you interested?" I said, "Let me look at it." And it was this. So, I looked it over and I said, "Yeah, I will buy it." But I had some things to do and I told him I would come back for it.

[00:00:38]Well, we're back for it now. And this truck does have a clean title. And this is an oddity. This truck is an oddity.

[00:00:44]And let me explain why. Sorry if it's a little windy. I got my wind muff on my mic. If it gets through a little bit, I apologize. It's just windy today. So, this truck is a 95 12 valve. the data tag, the title, all the VINs say 95, but if you look at this, people who know these trucks know it's not supposed to have that. 98 to02 is when they started putting the rear opening door on these trucks. 94 to02 is second gen Cummins.

[00:01:16]94 to 98 is 12 valve extended cab, no rear door. 98 to02 was 24 valve, different dash, and they added the rear quarter door. So, this truck is titled as a 95. Everything says it's a 95, but what's weird is it has the 98 to02 dash and this. They did a good job because it looks perfect. Nothing looks like it was ever touched. Nothing looks like it was changed. And somebody put a sunroof in it. But actually, that kind of halfway looks professional. [laughter] I don't know. Kind of cool. I don't know why you'd do it, but it's kind of neat, I guess. Um, the truck has no bed, but I don't really care too much, I guess. And what he was going to do, this was kind of like his project. He wanted to put like some special bed on it and put that it's like a crane or whatever. I guess some kind of um lift crane type of deal he wanted to put on the back of this and he never did it. But he did put this rear end on the back. This is a dually.

[00:02:20]He converted it from single wheel to dual wheel. It's a DY with a Dana 80. So a Dana 70 is like what my second gen has. This has a Dana 80, which is a super beefy rear end. Really beefy.

[00:02:32]Really, really strong differentials. And the cool thing about this truck is that I usually don't get a hold of, it's four-wheel drive. Yeah. Four-wheel drive means the price goes up. Yeah. Uh, oh, and why I got this is cuz transmission's bad, and he doesn't really want to deal with fixing it. The guy that he bought it from said he had the trans rebuilt, made it about 800 miles, and the transmission literally just gave out on him, went kaput, won't go anywhere. So, I don't know what's going on with the transmission. We'll figure it out. Not looking forward to pulling it if I have to because it's a four-wheel drive, which makes makes it a little tougher. But, um, we know it has transmission problems, but I know the engine runs.

[00:03:21]It's pretty clean. Truck is clean. You know, some tears, but it's like not not bad. It's a clean clean truck. I dig it.

[00:03:32]>> It's a cool truck. I like it. Four-wheel drive.

[00:03:35]>> Mhm.

[00:03:36]>> Woohoo. Dad said something interesting.

[00:03:38]I said, "Man, I don't want to spend the money to put a bed on it.

[00:03:41]DY beds are expensive because the fiberglass fenders always uh give out.

[00:03:47]But dad said, "Well, why don't you just sell it without a bed and they can do whatever they want?" Because he's right.

[00:03:52]Some people uh don't want the factory bed. Some people put flat beds on them.

[00:03:57]Some people put custom beds that for their own purpose on them. So, I think I'm just going to not put a bed on it.

[00:04:05]>> Go to all the trouble to put it on there and they say, "Well, I'm going to take it off there anyway. I'm going to put a flatbed on it." So, or you put the flatbed on it and say, "I'm going to put a bed on it." So, >> yeah, that's true.

[00:04:16]>> Cuz you could put a utility bed on it for for working like that. You could put a flatbed on it or you could go find a factory bed. And yeah, you know, so I think I'm just going to leave it like that and let whoever gets it do whatever they want to do. All right. Well, we got the truck and we got the trailer. Let's load this thing up. I got the title.

[00:04:36]We just got to get >> got the title.

[00:04:39]>> Get loaded and get out of here. Yeah.

[00:05:29]Heat up here.

[00:06:00]Yeah, that's it.

[00:06:20]All right. Now you can put one on the back here. Are you going to need a binder?

[00:06:34]>> Uh, let me get you my bar.

[00:06:51]We'll see how it goes.

[00:06:57]Let's just see.

[00:06:59]>> See how it shakes out when we're finished.

[00:07:01]>> I mean, it's pretty tight, but I think once we hit the road, I'll check it one more. All right.

[00:07:08]>> All right. Let's see.

[00:07:14]That's it.

[00:07:20]Right there.

[00:07:22]Yeah, that's not too bad. It's not like overkill.

[00:07:30]Yeah.

[00:07:32]Yeah, for sure.

[00:08:04]We are in the middle of nowhere.

[00:08:08]Yes, we are.

[00:08:09]>> A lot of dirt roads.

[00:08:30]Got the truck back to the property.

[00:08:32]About to put it in the shop. I want to put it in this spot and I want to shove this GMC over here because I don't want to be working over here with all my GMC parts cuz remember I'm rebuilding an engine for this. So, I have this thing all apart. I don't be stepping over all my stuff here. I bought these little duads on Marketplace a while back and and it's going to come in handy. But yeah, just so you know, it will not jack a car up with flat tires because the tires pooch down and even on the highest possible setting, um, it will not lift a flat tire up off the ground. It's assuming, the tool is assuming you already have aired up tires. So, we had to jack it up and put wood on the thing to get it off the ground so it'll roll.

[00:09:13]No worries. Just so you all know.

[00:09:16]>> Look at that. That's nice.

[00:09:22]All right. Whoa, whoa, wait.

[00:09:24]>> Yeah, cool. It's all the way over.

[00:09:26]>> I'd just leave them on there in case >> Oh, yeah.

[00:09:28]>> need to move it back.

[00:09:33][snorts] >> Whoa. What a penny.

[00:09:40]>> That was mine. I I was over there and I Well, >> it's mine now.

[00:09:46]Heat.

[00:10:07]Heat.

[00:10:31]>> [bell] >> cuz it should be in park.

[00:10:36]Matter of fact, it should be in park. So if if it starts rolling backwards with it in park, then that means we know >> there's nothing hooked up.

[00:10:44]>> Something ain't hooked up.

[00:10:46]>> Okay.

[00:11:01]I've got it in park.

[00:11:02]>> Well, but that tire is moving all funky.

[00:11:08]Driver's tires moving forward.

[00:11:12]>> See?

[00:11:13]>> Oh, okay. So, the park is working.

[00:11:16]>> So, yeah. Take it out of park.

[00:11:18]>> Okay. So, the detent is working.

[00:11:21]I thought it wasn't. It didn't sound right.

[00:11:26]>> Hey.

[00:11:27]>> Yeah. Uh, turn the wheel to the right.

[00:11:31]Straighten it out.

[00:11:44]Heat. Heat.

[00:12:04]Heat up here.

[00:12:39]All right, first things first. Let's pop the hood, put a battery in it, see what comes on. He said it ran. and he showed me a video of it running. But you know, it's like Reagan said, "Trust but verify." I just want to hear it.

[00:12:58]Oh, it's full of coolant.

[00:13:09]Put these on here cuz they're going to get lost.

[00:13:14]full to the tippy top of oil.

[00:13:20]>> Cool.

[00:13:20]>> Yeah.

[00:13:21]>> Um >> I'm gonna put this in the back seat.

[00:13:24]>> Cool thing about this truck is it's got hydroboost, which is more more betterist than vacuum. Did you notice the brakes working on this?

[00:13:34]>> Yeah, I think so.

[00:13:38]Uh I would be surprised if they didn't.

[00:13:41]I don't know if he bled them rear ones when he Looks like it's all together.

[00:13:48]>> It's got fluid.

[00:13:49]>> I mean, it's a hair bit low, but it's got it.

[00:13:52]>> Check the transmission.

[00:14:00]>> Lookie there. I got you dipstick.

[00:14:04]>> Oh, hand cleaner. Yeah, I >> It was in the frame. I'll set it over here by your faucet.

[00:14:10]Okay.

[00:14:31]Look at that. The under hood light works.

[00:14:36]Very interesting. The key light is working. Turn the key on.

[00:14:44]>> All the gauges on the dash work. Voltage works.

[00:14:49]Radio. No radio.

[00:14:59]Headlights work. Signal. Uh, right.

[00:15:05]Yeah.

[00:15:07]left.

[00:15:09]>> Well, it's making a buzzing noise. There might be a ground back there or something. It's just buzzing.

[00:15:15]>> Okay, I know it's hard to see in here, but I'm still trying to figure out what in the world they did to this truck because truck says it's a 95, but the cab is a 98 to02. I'm telling you, I know this. And if this really was a 94 or 95, it would have a 47R transmission.

[00:15:34]96 to02 had the 47 RE which was electronically controlled. The main difference is the RH had a three pin plug one ground overdrive lockup. The RE had a seven pin connector. You see all these wires?

[00:15:52]This is a seven wire 7 pin connector. So this is a 47RE electronically controlled. So this is not a 95. It doesn't really matter because the title matches up with everything. I'm going to have dad shift it to make sure that it's shifting on the transmission.

[00:16:10]>> All right.

[00:16:18]>> Neutral.

[00:16:20]>> Neutral.

[00:16:22]>> Drive.

[00:16:23]>> Drive.

[00:16:24]>> Two.

[00:16:25]One.

[00:16:27]Okay. Well, it's shifting into all its gears.

[00:16:49]Does not look like metal shavings down in here. Like as >> how about that torque converter? Can you I mean does it it doesn't sit there and spin without it >> can you uh >> I think we lost connection.

[00:17:09]>> All right. Well, the torque converter moved.

[00:17:11]>> It did.

[00:17:12]>> Yeah. I mean it's bolted to the thing.

[00:17:14]>> All right.

[00:17:16]>> We're getting deeper into enemy territory where [laughter] it's ain't looking good.

[00:17:24]All right. Go ahead and uh try and crank it. See if it'll run.

[00:17:31]All right. Yeah.

[00:17:46]Sounds like it all sounds good.

[00:17:48]Beautiful.

[00:17:54]We'll put it in reverse.

[00:17:56]Fuel gauge looks like it's trying to work. I don't know if that level is accurate, but the oil pressure gauge works.

[00:18:04]TAC is working. It's charging. Wow.

[00:18:07]Look, 14 uh 239 on the odometer.

[00:18:11]That's nothing at all. I'm not worried about the mileage whatsoever.

[00:18:16]Great oil pressure. All right, put it in reverse and gun it as fast as you can.

[00:18:21]>> Okay, here we trick it into going into gear.

[00:18:30]Nothing.

[00:18:32]Nothing.

[00:18:35]Wow.

[00:18:37]I mean, it ain't even not even try. It ain't even making a noise. I mean, even you would think it would make a if it busted the spline, you'd think you'd hear it, you know.

[00:18:51]Whoa. Make sure that nothing. No, it says it's in four-wheel drive. So that that would omit the fact that it's in neutral.

[00:19:13]Yeah, it's low.

[00:19:17]It's out. No, no. Leave it running.

[00:19:18]Leave it running. It's It's good. I'm going to put training fluid in. It's low.

[00:19:30]>> Is it in four-wheel drive?

[00:19:31]>> It was trying to go in gear.

[00:19:36]Well, what was that noise?

[00:19:38]>> I don't know.

[00:19:40]I put it in reverse.

[00:19:43]Put it in neutral and start it.

[00:19:58]I don't know. What's that grinding noise?

[00:20:03]Maybe it's got something to do with this transfer case.

[00:20:10]Start it. Well, I only put not even a gallon in it.

[00:20:25]Stop. Stop.

[00:20:30]It's leaking profusely.

[00:20:42]>> All right. Again.

[00:20:45]>> You ready?

[00:20:45]>> Yeah.

[00:21:03]All right.

[00:21:05]There's a hose with a hole in it.

[00:21:08]>> Yeah. We need to take a look at those fittings on that thing and see if they're the same as like they're JIC.

[00:21:41]What in the world kind of fitting is that?

[00:21:46]>> Did you get it?

[00:21:48]Did you get it right there?

[00:21:55]Where it split? But this this is not factory.

[00:22:02]Whatever they did here, I [clears throat] don't think that's factory. So, I went up and had a new hose made. I made it all hose because you want a good amount of hose because there's so much vibration under the truck. If you have all metal and just an itty bitty hose and it's not long enough, the vibrations can actually break the hose. So, with all of that, it's like a little suspension.

[00:22:28]I'm sure it fixed our leak, but it'll allow us to fill it up now. See if it'll go into gear or what.

[00:22:51]It's reading on the stick.

[00:22:56]Well, it's in four-wheel drive. So, right. Yeah.

[00:23:10]All right, let's drive.

[00:23:17]Hold on.

[00:23:20]Okay, try it.

[00:23:32]uh pull it forward a little bit and leave it running. I'm going to put some dip fluid in it. We'll let it warm up.

[00:23:41]All right. So, like I said, we're going to leave this running and let it warm up. And you want to check it hot in neutral. Um I'm going to put some fluid in the diff because he told me after he did the swap on this, he didn't put any uh gear oil in it. So first Heat.

[00:24:26]Heat.

[00:24:34]Heat. Heat.

[00:25:05]Heat.

[00:25:13]Heat.

[00:25:36]All right.

[00:25:42]Burnt.

[00:25:45]>> That don't sound cool.

[00:25:47]>> It is. I checked it.

[00:25:54]Fluid looked a little funky, but it was full.

[00:25:57]>> Sure don't sound good.

[00:25:58]>> Well, let's drive.

[00:26:06]>> Yeah, something ain't right.

[00:26:10]>> Well, you can check it again.

[00:26:12]>> I think I am.

[00:26:13]>> Go ahead.

[00:26:23]Yeah. Check the fluid. Fluid looked pretty full. It's brown. I put some in it, but it's growing pretty bad.

[00:26:30]>> Oh well. It ain't going to stop us from driving it. See if the training works.

[00:26:36]That might be the least of your worries.

[00:26:54]Watch them big old duel as you get them hooked on the fence.

[00:26:58][laughter] Speedo ain't working.

[00:27:13]So, let's see. We'll stop first, second.

[00:27:34]We may be in third. I don't know.

[00:27:36]>> Manually shift it. Oh, that's third.

[00:27:39]Wasn't there? That's far. I'll be son of a gun.

[00:27:53]I think it went into lockup.

[00:27:57]Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.

[00:28:01]>> I think the transmission works.

[00:28:03]>> I do too. So far, >> it's kind of hard to feel the gears.

[00:28:08]Well, manually shift it. Oh, I know.

[00:28:11]When it's going down the road, flipping it into overdrive and out. Well, I I don't see the light coming on when I hit that button. I don't know what they did here with this stupid 2 3 4.

[00:28:35]There it went. Yeah.

[00:28:39]Yeah, transmission's working.

[00:28:41]>> That's good. Yeah, that's good.

[00:28:45]I'm freaking happy.

[00:28:48]>> We're going to see if four-wheel drive works.

[00:28:57]All right.

[00:29:03]Whoa. What's that noise?

[00:29:05]>> I don't know.

[00:29:28]Something's wrong with it.

[00:29:30]>> Yeah.

[00:29:33]I hope you could hear it through the mic, but when I put it in four-wheel drive and tried to go up that hill, it was popping, popping, popping real bad.

[00:29:41]Could be the chain in the transfer case.

[00:29:43]But also, what I'm curious about is he told me he switched this rear end out for this Dana 80 DY rear end. And I know that the front and the rear diffs are supposed to be the same ratio. Maybe he didn't check that. I don't know. But we're going to jack the back up. The tag's not on it. There's usually a tag on the bolts that say what the ratio is.

[00:30:06]They're gone on the back and the front.

[00:30:08]So, we're going to have to jack it up, turn the drive shaft, and see how many times it takes to turn the wheel. We'll do that to the front and the back and see if we have the same ratio.

[00:30:39]Three.

[00:30:48]All right. So, this is 354s.

[00:30:55]Taking a quick hiatus from the Cumins we're working on. Dad found a deal possibly out here in the middle of nowhere. Uh we're going to this guy's house cuz he has a 12 valve Cummins engine and transmission for sale. He's had it on Facebook for a little bit and I think he started out at like 3500 and then it went to 25. Now it's at 15 for the engine and transmission.

[00:31:22]And we're thinking, man, that's too good to be true. But we're going to take a a look at it.

[00:31:28]see if it's blown up or it may be good and maybe we'll buy it.

[00:31:39]>> All right, >> we're going to see if it cranks. He said the starter went bad when he was trying to crank it, but I don't know. We'll see if we have any luck.

[00:32:02]Me too.

[00:32:12]>> Since I've bought stuff off of this gentleman before, I He's telling the truth that he was like, "I was about to start it. I had it primed and the starter gave out." Well, we just tried it and the starter gave out. Um well, we agreed on 1,300 for the whole thing.

[00:32:26]because that's a good deal. And we're really taking a gamble on it not running. And the reason is is because we've we noticed that it it was ran on fry oil, which we had one engine like that. You can see, it's hard to tell, but there's goop around the injection lines. Um, he's pretty sure it was ran on like fry oil and there's gunk around the injection lines. And we had one other engine that was ran on fry oil. Actually made a video on it a couple years ago and that fry oil just smoked that engine. Um people think fry oil is some genius idea and it's really stupid. Uh these engines are not made to run on fry oil. It tears them up. It it gums up the injection pump. Um fry oil. It's not made for these engines. It totally smoked that engine. We're hoping this engine's good, but we don't know for sure. That's why we got it for the price we did because if it's bad, we're just going to sell it as like a builder or a parts engine.

[00:34:09]What's up?

[00:34:10]>> He back. I had him back up. He used a hill. You want >> me to back up more?

[00:34:30]You want to it a little?

[00:34:33]>> See if you can it forward.

[00:34:44]All right. Now let it down.

[00:34:50]Okay, come down.

[00:34:52]There we go.

[00:34:58]Try to unhook your chain on the motor.

[00:35:07]>> All right, man.

[00:35:08]>> I appreciate that. Thank you.

[00:35:10]>> It's got a lot of dirt in it.

[00:35:11]>> That's all right.

[00:35:12]>> We don't care about that.

[00:35:12]>> That's washable. It's not rusted yet.

[00:35:15]>> Not yet.

[00:35:16]>> I think you go ahead and back out. We'll unhook that little chain.

[00:35:19]>> Little chain.

[00:35:20]>> Yeah.

[00:35:28]>> Here. Flip that motor.

[00:35:33]>> He's a good dude, man.

[00:35:35]>> Yeah, I like him. He's nice.

[00:36:03]Well, [clears throat] from what we saw yesterday, that transfer case is making some pretty bad noises.

[00:36:12]Um, so we're going to take the back of the transfer case housing off and see.

[00:36:18]Could be bearings, chain, something.

[00:36:23]But that noise is bad.

[00:36:48]>> [snorts] [sighs] >> Watch your face.

[00:37:56]Well, we're draining the fluid out, but I don't know. I guess my camera wasn't running when I took the plug out. No fluid came out. I had to jam the uh Allen head in there. So, there's gunk in there.

[00:38:09]Not good.

[00:38:10]>> It was out of fluid. I mean, there was nothing in it.

[00:38:14]>> Yeah. So, there was nothing in it. So, they Who knows how long they ran it like that?

[00:38:19]>> Who knows what's tore up in there.

[00:38:22]>> We'll go one by one until we >> get the desired effect.

[00:38:27]>> Yeah.

[00:38:42]Yeah. See that one never came off there.

[00:38:44]>> Well, there's a bearing.

[00:38:45]>> Yeah, there's a there's snap ring there, too, buddy.

[00:38:49]>> Is there You see that ring there? I hate them things. They're hard to get off.

[00:38:59]Yeah, nice little tool came out of my magic box.

[00:39:08]>> Yeah.

[00:39:21]>> You're getting somewhere.

[00:39:23]>> We're getting somewhere. Oh, >> watch out. Somebody's been in.

[00:39:43]>> There's one of the bunch that won't come out.

[00:39:45]>> Yeah.

[00:40:02]There we go.

[00:40:04]That's it.

[00:40:07]Dension in it. Should be a leaking point.

[00:40:23]That chain looks Well, that thing looks slopped out. The only thing I could think of that would be skipping.

[00:40:35]Can we take a link out of it?

[00:40:40]Yeah, there's your skipping.

[00:40:42]I mean, it's weird. I don't see like a lot of carnage.

[00:40:49]But like I do see like junk down in the bottom.

[00:40:53]>> Is that chain been slapping that case?

[00:40:56]>> Can Where's that case at? Is it far enough to I mean that's obviously a lot of >> I see something back here. Like this looks like it's moving quite a bit. I don't know.

[00:41:49]>> [clears throat] >> news is I'm not seeing lots of absolute carnage, but I am seeing Oh, whatever that is.

[00:42:05]I mean, see all the junk on that?

[00:42:13]There's some sludge down in there for sure.

[00:42:51]This seems fairly scored right here. I was just taking this apart because I thought I don't know if there was supposed to be a bearing in there or how tight, but that just seems kind of loose, you know?

[00:43:05][laughter] I don't know. There's no bearing in there.

[00:43:36]So, I'm at a standstill on this because I had to order a chain. Nobody has it locally, plus an output shaft seal. So, that's going to take a few days to get here, but we can still do other stuff.

[00:43:45]In the meantime, mainly I got these tires off. Two of them were good. See, like that one. That one's a really good tire. And there's one other one just like it. But these four are pretty much junk. So, I want to have four uh good used tires put on it. And then we're going to push this forward so we can get the engine out of the back of my truck so we can put these tires in it.

[00:44:16]That didn't work. Whatever. It's for It's forward enough. [laughter] Knocked it right off of those rollies.

[00:44:55]Heat. Heat.

[00:45:16]Heat. Heat.

[00:45:38]Heat. Heat.

[00:46:05]Wow.

[00:46:44]See, this is the residue of that fry oil stuff. See how it's like bouncy?

[00:46:50]It It's not even hardened like old grease. It's like Look at that stuff is absolutely horrible for an engine.

[00:47:04]It's like goop. It's gooey. It's all over the place. It's all over this. It's all over that.

[00:47:13]I hope this engine's good. If we I mean I hope we get lucky cuz I'm not I don't like that fry oil. It's bad. I finished taking the old starter off. There's one bolt that's down underneath that's really difficult to get to and finally got it off. Got the new starter on so we can try and crank this engine over.

[00:47:36]Dad caught this. They must have had an oil pressure gauge coming off of this, but it's an open hole. As soon as you crank it and it gets oil pressure, it'll come out full bore out of that hole. So, we gotta take this out. I got this plug right here.

[00:48:03]Got that Uh first day feeling too much.

[00:48:20]All right.

[00:48:26]I see it coming through this.

[00:48:32]This at least slow us down so we can get the fuel.

[00:48:42]Dad's loosening up the injectors.

[00:48:45]I can't get Usually I like to take the inlet line on the injection pump loose or the fuel filter so I can make sure that fuel's going where it needs to go.

[00:48:55]Like I want to make sure it's going into the pump, but I cannot get the line loose because of this and the filter's tight. and he said that he was bleeding it and that he saw it bleed before the starter went out. So, we're I'm just gonna crank it and hope it bleeds.

[00:49:10]Injectors are open. We're gonna crank it and see if we can get the injectors to bleed.

[00:49:20]>> Whoa. Whoa. What? It's squirting fluid.

[00:49:25]It's getting in my eye.

[00:49:40]Man, it's it's going already.

[00:49:53]Ready to go.

[00:50:19]She's good. Sounds like she's going to go.

[00:50:37]Well, one thing I can already see is that they've advanced the timing. The injection pump is twisted more towards the head. I remember the last engine I started, it would not start because the timing was advanced. And once I it, fire it up like that. But I'm not We can try putting some ether down the intake and see if it'll start that way.

[00:51:01]But if it won't, we'll have to the timing.

[00:51:22]Oh. Oh. Oh, they cut it.

[00:51:26]>> What?

[00:51:27]>> It's broke like Yeah, it's like snapped.

[00:51:31]It cut it or it snapped. One of the two.

[00:51:33]It's just pouring fluid out.

[00:51:35]Pump's working. Obviously, it's pumping fluid through. But look at the injection pump. The injection pump has this slot from the factory right here. And you can loosen up the three nuts that hold the pump onto this timing cover. And [snorts] you can crank the injection pump closer to the head to the to advance the timing. And from the factory, you can usually see see a little bit of slot on both sides. It'll be sort of in the middle. Well, the fact that it's cranked all the way that way, they've they advanced the timing.

[00:52:08]>> It's fun and dandy.

[00:52:10]>> And now went up to Ace Hardware and got a barb that was a quarter inch thread to/ in barb. put a hose on it because they didn't have a fitting inverted flare for that. So, got a hose on it. We should be able to crank it without having it leak everywhere.

[00:52:44]>> Man, get a little closer with that.

[00:52:45]>> Huh? Uh-uh. It's already locking it.

[00:53:08]All right. I uh the timing on the injection pump, pulled it away from the head, and uh we'll see if that helped us out any careful with that stuff.

[00:53:46]I ain't never seen no injector do that.

[00:53:48]That's there's no it ain't supposed to do that. So, obviously cranking and cranking and cranking on this engine is not getting the job done. So, we have to dig deeper and see what's wrong. So, I'm going to pull all the injectors out.

[00:54:00]Going to test for compression. That's going to tell you the health of the engine right off the bat. I also have a pop tester for injectors that we can use to see what the spray pattern looks like. If they're popping at the right bar, it's measured in bar, but also can be measured in PSI. If it pops at too low of a pressure or it leaks down, that tells you that it's wore out. If it pops at super super high pressure, could mean that it's plugged up.

[00:54:38]Yeah, that one's 500. [snorts] That's a good one.

[00:55:05]100 [snorts] 100 450. Yeah.

[00:55:19]>> [snorts] >> 450. Okay. So, six and four are low. The rest are pretty good >> so far.

[00:55:35]>> That's it.

[00:55:35]>> Oh, that's all of them?

[00:55:36]>> Yeah, that's all six. So, all I mean it should run with that. I mean, four out of six. And it, you know, could pick up the other two, you know, if it runs, but it should run. Did will your bore scope go out in that cylinder? It won't go that small.

[00:55:51]>> The uh the injector hole is too small.

[00:55:54]It won't go in the injector hole.

[00:55:57]Going to take six and four valve cover off. Make sure we don't have a tight valve.

[00:56:05]Looks okay in there. It may not look okay in the cylinder, but you know, never hurts to find out.

[00:56:22]All right.

[00:56:25]>> Okay. Bump it.

[00:56:30]>> Okay.

[00:56:31]>> Okay.

[00:56:31]>> That one's not hanging.

[00:56:32]>> This one's not tight. Bump it.

[00:56:37]>> Okay. The valves aren't tight. So, got the first injector in the pop tester.

[00:56:43]You can see >> one of them's crummy. If you look at the side of it here, I'll do it over here.

[00:57:00]See it? It just squirts out straight.

[00:57:02]>> Let me see. Yeah.

[00:57:06]Can see that one there on the left right here.

[00:57:10]It's See the rest are a mist. watch.

[00:57:18]But still, it should run. I'm What I'm looking for is like a totally plugged up, non- workinging injector. And you can see here on the gauge, it should pop at about 3,000 PSI.

[00:57:31]See that?

[00:57:33]Boom. So, it's popping, right?

[00:57:36]Do injector number two.

[00:57:46]See, this one's high.

[00:57:49]There we go. It's It's kind of like leaking. It's hard to see on camera.

[00:57:57]Look at that.

[00:57:59]Yeah. See that? That one is a faulty injector for sure. See how it's just leaking?

[00:58:06]>> Yeah, that thing's trashed.

[00:58:10]See how it's just See that off to the side here? How it's just And then these two up here, they're squirting like a line.

[00:58:36]This one's not too good. All right, got the next one.

[00:58:48]Yeah, this one's really bad.

[00:58:55]I don't know how good you guys can see that on camera, but yeah, this one is pretty much unusable.

[00:59:16]So far, only one good. That's only injector. That's fair.

[00:59:22]>> Yeah, that one's fair.

[00:59:25]>> Next one.

[00:59:36]That one's usable.

[00:59:51]That one's all right.

[01:00:02]Got all the injectors back together, all the return lines, and just for good measure, we're going to try it again.

[01:00:08]Yeah, in case they've got that selenoid bypassed, may not shut off. Even if it does start.

[01:00:24]>> Well, there you go.

[01:00:26]>> Where'd that fluid coming from?

[01:00:28]>> Right here. Oh.

[01:00:31]Look at that.

[01:00:33]All right, let's try it again.

[01:00:49]Dang.

[01:01:13]H wonder why she's not idling.

[01:01:32]Heat.

[01:01:40]Heat.

[01:02:08]Oh, what was that?

[01:02:16]I don't know. Boy, that thing's blowing a lot of black tar smoke.

[01:02:21]>> Yeah, they had the smoke button on.

[01:02:24]>> All right, so as you can see, we've cleared out the engine and transmission and the GMC's pushed out and I have this uh the Cumins that we're working on here right here. We're going to keep working on it. But yeah, the engine uh you know, we we sold it already. We put it up and we sold it and made a few hundred bucks.

[01:02:40]But um the reason why it was smoking so much is whenever you start them up for the first time after they've been sitting a while, just like a gas engine, it'll smoke and sputter, but it clears up. Well, that one was never going to clear up because soot is unburned fuel coming out the tailpipe of a diesel, right? When you get on them real hard, they'll they'll blow black smoke. And that one's never going to clear up because those two cylinders that had low compression, it's what 100? Maybe when it was running it was 150. I don't know. But what happens is is that low compression is just enough compression to semiburn the fuel, but it's not enough compression to make a complete burn. So instead of burning the fuel, it just turns it into soot and blows it out the exhaust. So that soot's never going to clear up until you rebuild the engine. You can see it all over the back of my freaking cabinets here.

[01:03:31]Going to have to clean that off. But also, you noticed I had to put that piece of wood over it because it was trying to run away. They call it a runaway diesel. Well, that has to do with the injection pump. Because of that fry oil, it gums everything up and it makes the injection pump governors stick. There's only one throttle setting. You know, I when you work the throttle, it doesn't do anything. It's just on full blast because those governor weights are stuck because of what they ran through it and plus because it's probably been sitting. And so as soon as it lights off, it's just on full throttle. The injection pump is just stuck on full throttle. It's fixable, but yeah, it needs a rebuild.

[01:04:10]An injection pump rebuild is probably $800 now. I think the last time I had a VE pump rebuilt, it was like 3 years ago and it was 700 bucks. It's probably eight or 900 bucks now to have a VE pump rebuilt. And it's probably at least a couple thousand dollar to have the engine rebuilt. You're going to have to to bore it, you know. It's just it needs a whole rebuild. But anyway, that's the deal with that engine. Sometimes you win, sometimes, you know, you lose, but we didn't really lose because we made a few hundred on the engine. So, anyway, with that said, let's get back to working on the 12 the 12 valve Pump here, 4x4.

[01:04:46]So, it's been a few days. I placed the order for the chain and the output shaft seal, and they just came in. I noticed this was leaking on the old one. So, we'll put a new one in. This is the old chain here. And before we put it in, I got everything over here. I'm about to pressure wash everything and clean it up just so we don't put things together dirty. I'll scrape off all the old silicone so we can put new silicone on it. So yeah, hopefully it doesn't leak and hopefully it stops that clattering and popping and grinding.

[01:05:35]Might have to smack it from the inside.

[01:05:53]It's just bending. Folding the ridge.

[01:05:59]Yeah, I was just trying to collapse it.

[01:06:04]It should come out here pretty quick.

[01:06:13]That's one installed seal.

[01:06:20]There it is. There it is.

[01:06:29]Just don't want to do no damage to her.

[01:06:32]I still don't want Dam. Hold on. Wipe that out.

[01:06:44]>> Oh man, that's beautiful.

[01:06:46]>> Yeah, it fits good.

[01:06:47]>> I love it.

[01:06:52]Oh yeah.

[01:06:54]Oh yeah.

[01:06:57]See?

[01:07:00]Oh yeah. All the way around.

[01:07:02]>> It's not all the way down.

[01:07:10]>> There we go. Look at that.

[01:07:12]>> That's a nice [laughter] Look at that.

[01:07:17]So, before I go and put all this back together, I think I'm going to try and I'm going to clean this surface off and then I'll put the all the gears back on.

[01:07:50]My show must go on.

[01:08:11]There we go. I think that's it.

[01:08:25]Put that on there and then slip it all on there maybe.

[01:08:35]Oh, there it went. There it went.

[01:08:41]That don't seem that much better.

[01:08:42]>> No, it don't.

[01:09:11]Everything's put together underneath.

[01:09:13]Drive shaft is in. and we're going to start it up. Put it in fourth gear and see if it pops and makes a bunch of noise. So, go ahead and try and start it.

[01:09:26]I'm in um too high right now. So, okay.

[01:09:46]Yeah.

[01:10:03]Heat.

[01:10:29]I just I just push the brake.

[01:10:38]So, as you can hear, it's still making that noise. So, I had to take the back off once again. [laughter] So, you can see this shift fork. There's a plastic piece that goes here and on both sides. Both of the plastic pieces here are gone. You can see that it's had metal here. Metal on metal grinding here, here, here, and here. I bought this one on eBay, and I've already had to wait a few days for it, but you can see the difference. So, this plastic piece is there. This one's rubbed off.

[01:11:08]You can see this nub here, whatever you want to call it. Over here, how it's like ground off. Then these plastic pieces are missing.

[01:11:17]And these are here. So, this shift fork we think is the thickness is worn away cuz there's no plastic bushings or anything. So, when you shift it, it's not enough.

[01:11:28]>> It's not pushing this.

[01:11:30]>> Yeah. It's not pushing that far enough to engage >> the gear.

[01:11:34]>> So therefore, it just lets it sit there and grind.

[01:11:36]>> Yeah, that's why it grinds is because it's like halfway engaged and it's not fully engaged. So that gear is just sitting there.

[01:11:44]So we're going to put this one in there and hopefully that fixes our four-wheel drive issue.

[01:11:49]>> Yeah, >> cuz Yeah. Well, already bought I mean the chain was 10 and some bucks and that wasn't it. Plus taking this apart twice for this. So, hope this fixes it. I don't want to take this apart again.

[01:12:05][music] Moment of truth. It's filled with fluid.

[01:13:04]Drive shaft is back in it.

[01:13:08]So, we're going to see Whoa.

[01:13:35]>> Yeah.

[01:14:00]Whoa. That drum the drum's going to Oh, okay. There's a nut on there. All right.

[01:14:11]That's it. [laughter] >> That's good, son.

[01:14:13]>> Yeah, it's good. Now we can put the tires on it and try it. Try it.

[01:14:19]>> Yeah.

[01:14:21]Got new tires put on these rims. Well, they're used, but newish.

[01:14:25]>> They're new to us.

[01:14:27]>> Yeah.

[01:14:41]All right. So, anyway, I put one Let's see.

[01:14:51]Huh?

[01:14:54][clears throat] All right, let's go test out this four-wheel drive.

[01:15:34]Speedo is the only thing on the dash that doesn't work. I'm not sure why.

[01:15:40]Man, this thing rides like a brick house. [laughter] It's cuz that big old Dana 80 with no no there's no bed or there's no shocks on it or anything.

[01:15:53]>> Yeah, there's no weight.

[01:16:05]All right, just to prove we're in two wheel drive.

[01:16:42]It works.

[01:16:43]>> Yeah.

[01:16:50]>> All right. Right now we're in two wheel.

[01:16:55]See that? You see that?

[01:17:08]There's no way it would do this in two wheel. Ain't no way.

[01:17:18]All right. So, right now we're in two wheel.

[01:17:23]I ain't going to see that right there.

[01:17:38]Going to two wheel.

[01:17:43]See, it won't go up. It look at that.

[01:17:57]Now that the four-wheel drive works properly after a big fiasco, I'm going to do the power steering pump cuz it's groaning and moaning and I can hear it. I don't know if you guys have heard it, but yeah, it's definitely it's full and it just sounds bad. Let me see if I can I'm going start it.

[01:18:16]Oh, do that cable.

[01:18:19]Just put it back on >> it. It's full.

[01:18:21]>> Yeah.

[01:18:22]>> Yeah, it's full and it's making all kinds of noise.

[01:18:53]I don't know if you guys can hear that.

[01:19:07]Ain't supposed to be making no noise.

[01:19:09]So, the power steering pumps on these is right down there.

[01:19:15]There's four studs. You can see there's two right there. Two on this side, two on that side. Then there's two return lines and a power line. I think one return is for the box, one return is for the hydroboost. And then there's a pressure line. Then it pulls off from the vac. This is a vacuum pump. Uh cuz diesels obviously they don't create a vacuum in the intake. They're creating boost. So they have to put a mechanical vacuum pump to run all the accessories.

[01:19:38]And then the power steering bolts to that back of it. I had one of these engines that leaked oil really bad on this side. And it's easy to think it's an engine leak, but those vacuum pumps, there's a big O-ring in them that goes bad and then they'll drip. And uh Gould Gear, I don't even know if this guy is still in business, but GLD Gould Gear sells a kit for those vacuum pumps and it's a really good kit. I put one in a truck and it stopped the leak entirely.

[01:20:07]But you can think that the engine's Oh, it's engine's toast. It's leaking everywhere. It's just the vacuum pump that goes right on the back of the timing cover. It'll spring a leak.

[01:20:29]Heat.

[01:20:48]Heat.

[01:21:19]Where you go?

[01:22:02]>> [snorts] >> Let me take Get it.

[01:22:43]It's one of those uh squeeze clamps where >> I hate Ah.

[01:23:42]I don't know, man. I think it's going to rain.

[01:23:47]>> That's coming >> out.

[01:24:04]All right. Just because of the difficulty of getting the camera in there. such a nightmare. I got the new one on there. Got the four stud bolt things on the front. I got all the hoses on the back. Luckily, the the hoses were long enough to where I could slip them over the return outlets without having to get new hoses. Everything's tight. I can put the intake horn back on and fill it up with fluid and see if it still makes that groin noise. It should should stop now.

[01:24:37]All right. I pre-filled it with some fluid. When we start it up and crank it, it'll probably suck it all the way down.

[01:24:44]I got the front tires jacked up because you don't want to put all that load on it and it's not full.

[01:24:57]Heat.

[01:25:14]Heat.

[01:25:38]Heat. Heat.

[01:25:56]Maybe we have to drive it. It kind of acts like it's manual.

[01:26:04]Maybe it has something to do with that hydro boost.

[01:26:18]Yeah, it acts like it's manual.

[01:26:22]I don't feel the power brakes working either. No good deed goes unpunished.

[01:26:30]There we go.

[01:26:32]There it is.

[01:26:38]Maybe needed a little RPM.

[01:26:42]Yeah, I can feel the power.

[01:26:45]Let's just go down the road here.

[01:26:51]No noise or nothing. That was definitely the issue.

[01:26:55]Silent. Absolutely silent.

[01:27:04]We'll top it back off.

[01:27:06]And it should be good.

[01:27:25]So, it's actually been a week or two since I finished working on that Cumins and I listed it on Facebook for I think seven and I ended up selling it for 5,400 because things just aren't really moving right now. Uh I don't know soft recession. I don't know what you call it. People aren't wanting to spend bunch of money. So, I bought the truck for 3500. I think by the time it was all said and done, I had 41 or 42 in it with the tires and the drive chain and the shift fork and power steering pump, you know, and so 5,400 that makes 12,300 profit. So, yep, fixed it and flipped it, sold it to a guy on the other side of town. I'm not really sure what his plans are with it, but yeah, I consider that a success. Also, in the previous video that I was working on my uh second gen Cummins, my daily u everybody was asking where dad was at. I'll show you what he was working on. He was just working on his own stuff. There was nothing wrong. So, dad picked up this.

[01:28:25]What year is this? 80. This is a 1980 Volkswagen diesel. And he's had this in his backyard for quite a while. And uh it didn't run because this is the engine that was in it. it. It's a diesel and it was I don't know locked up, seized, jacked up. So, but the spare engine was in the bed.

[01:28:45]>> Yeah, I had a good spare engine. Matter of fact, it the engine that's in it came out of that one we did the video on.

[01:28:51]>> Okay.

[01:28:52]>> So, there's already been a video on that car.

[01:28:55]>> So, dad had a good drivetrain to put in it. So, he took this engine out, put another one in it, and uh that was what he was doing. Doing a little engine swap on this Volkswagen diesel. It's just like the white one he drives that you guys see in the background.

[01:29:11]>> Just setting sitting in the backyard.

[01:29:12]Wasn't doing anybody no good. Wasn't doing nothing. So, >> yeah. So, he put this whole thing in.

[01:29:17]It's got a four-speed.

[01:29:20]>> I think it's a five-speed, but I can't I don't know if the shifter linkage is originally for a four speed. I don't know. I'm not getting fifth, but my other truck does, so it don't make sense.

[01:29:31]>> So, >> so far it's a four-speed. Dad can't find fifth gear. We don't know where it is.

[01:29:36][laughter] >> Can't find fifth gear.
