Hey everyone, my name is JB, and I have a genuine fascination with just about everything with a mechanical component to it. I recently re-named this channel after leaving my previous job as a fleet mechanic at a large cattle ranch in Nevada, so if you hear me introduce myself as "JB The Ranch Mechanic" in most of my older videos, that's why. This channel will continue to encompass a wide variety of topics and interesting projects, from cars/trucks, machine tools, repair/restoration, firearms, musical instruments, you name it - if it has a mechanical component that I can mess with, I'll probably find a way to mess with it! Please have a look around, and if you like my content I would really appreciate it if you'd consider subscribing! Thanks for watching!
My sincere condolences. I thought that that was a really neat painting in the background and it is a great way to remember her and keep her around. All the best.
This is a great video! Great comparisons of each light but I got to go with the streamlight. Seems to me that the stresmlight has way better battery life and for the Braun to have that equal battery life, you would have to buy multiple lights and batteries. Then charger for the batteries. After all that, seems like it would be the same cost of one streamlight. As a Diesel Mechanic, it would be just an inconvenience to change batteries every half hour. Especially when your knee deep in a big job. The Braun light would definitely be handy for performing quick jobs or inspecting.
Great video I thought it was gonna be hard, and I been n putting it off but it rains too much in Florida. Congrats on your son getting on the big road ✨ did you fix that leak and did make a video on it? 😅
@MaricaLinn thank you so much, glad the video was helpful! I did find the leak - luckily it was the plastic line just inside the bumper. There is a little barbed fitting in there that it had slipped off of. Plugged it back in, and it's been fine ever since. We sure got a good laugh out of that one, though! 😂
I have one of these currently water pump is leaking but doesn't have the place like yours only issue is for me is that it's an irrigation motor so the cooling is very differently set up
Yeah, these cummins engines came in a huge variety of configurations from the factory for all sorts of different equipment applications. You might try searching for a video on a cummins fire pump motor - would very likely have a similar cooling setup as an irrigation unit. Hope that helps, good luck!
I’ve got a 2012 that is doing the same exact thing that truck was when putting it too the floor. Fairly certain passenger side cat is stopped up but just curious if you ever found out what was wrong with that truck before I dive in this one very deep.
@justincoker5429 unfortunately I didn't before I left the ranch. From what my old boss told me it had something to do with a wiring harness that wasn't communicating properly with the pcm, essentially putting the truck in limp mode as soon as it saw any boost. This was a rare case though...2011 truck with a 2013 engine, nothing was done correctly.
I can't be the only one who noticed the use of the term "Cordless" for a screwdriver. I'm still searching all of history looking for a time when screwdrivers had cords.😂 Thanks for the video 👍
@Nrekredloh you know...you're absolutely right. 🤣 I've been doing review videos so long now that in my mind, I have always compared cordless power tools (impact guns, drill/drivers, ratchets, etc) to their old school corded or air powered counterparts. I guess force of habit is a crazy thing. A year and a half later and I still never even realized I had phrased it that way! I'm leaving it for posterity, because it's hilarious. Thanks for the comment, and for watching! 😎
@@AllThingsMech After reviewing you reply, I decided to get the Ryobi. I am happy with it. I watched a couple of negative reviews of the Ryobi and decided that they were trying to compare it to a Drill Driver which is faster and more powerful. The negative reviewers seemed to miss the point of the benefit of a slower and less powerful tool.
@HatBilly2008 yes, it's gas powered. The filters I chose are for coolant specifically, so there are no diaphragms or drainback valves that would cause the system to over-pressurize or create too much resistance for the water pump to overcome.
mine takes a lr44, but i broke the screw trying to take it apart, they hide the screw under some black filler to it not serviceable. if i found the screw I would have been able to just replace the batteries
I know this was posted long ago. I have replaced the left handle 4 times. I did find a metal handle on ebay at Evan Fischer Auto parts. Same cost as the cheap auto parts replacement (Dorman).
Old vid but it a briggs n stratton diesel with marketing agreement to dehutsue . Parts are simple to get under briggs. With that great engine. . If I recall right the model number for the briggs is 58447 I think.
According to your video, it’s about two years old, just went to Amazon and this thing costs over double now in two years! Thanks Joe Biden! 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻 but thanks for the video! I’ll buy it anyway and hope Trump fixes everything!
@jasonsteiner8445 P0451 is your fuel tank pressure sensor. It's possible that it was damaged or unseated from the grommet during the fuel pump replacement, not plugged back in, or it has just failed due to age. The tank will likely need to be dropped to inspect it. If the CEL came on immediately after getting your truck back, I'd call the shop and see if they'll work with you on fixing it.
1) This was over 3 years ago when a 23/32" sheet of plywood was $90 at Home Depot. I used what I had lying around. 2) Welcome to the world of cattle ranching, where ranchers don't care about doing the job perfectly - they just want the job done. "It's good enough for who it's for." 3) The trailer is still doing fine. Thanks for watching!
U should also give the sylvania zevo 7443W led bulbs, and find those with a bubble on the led diode for water degree of light for your reverse light. Those would love sharp on ur Tahoe and it will look good and match with the rest of the zevo led bulbs. 🙏🏼
Nice video ! I’m doing my rear springs on my 2000 F250 crew cab that I ordered out . I’m from northern Mn with salt which your truck condition looks so different. My bolts don’t come out like yours did . Need to get that torch kit like you did . Makes those bolts easier to get out . I’m just using mapp gas and impact gun and busted a 1/2 ratchet with 4 ft bar . Thanks
Very good video. The torque converter is what explodes. The PR valve you mentioned in your repair list is what triggers the torque torque converter to puke. If caught in time not only should the torque converter be changed but the PR valve should be changed also
It's possible. I've found that these trucks are pretty sensitive to fuel flow rate - they'll run ok with a slight restriction, but will throw a code pretty easily. It's possible that you have a partially clogged pump sock in the tank; that would make sense if it only gets angry with you when you're pulling the trailer and are constantly needing higher flow rates to keep up with engine load. Are you noticing drivability issues/extended cranking times, or is it just throwing the code? It's also possible that it could have something to do with the active grille shutters if your truck has them...why those stupid things are on the same circuit as the fuel pump is a total mystery to me, but they are. Makes diagnosis a real pain. If you don't have a bidirectional scan tool that can check all of those components, I'd just take it to a shop for a diagnosis. It's pretty easy to get stuck firing the parts cannon at these things without finding the actual problem - it even took my dealership several attempts.
Cranking time when the light is on is longer then when the light is off. Drivability has no issue even when the light is on only issue with the light is on once I get around a 1/4 tank it wants to sputter and die when the light is on. I just got the truck a few weeks ago and the car fax shows that 2 fuel pumps have already been put in the truck over the last year. Could it be a evap leak that could cause any problems with the fuel demand?
Maybe next time try putting the trailer in a bag of rice? Seriously though, can you do a 1 year update showing how the LVP flooring has held up (especially in front of the slide floor)?
Dave's Drum Depot was owned by Dave Fogle, a great drummer and big inspiration for my drumming career. I lived in NW ohio until I moved to San Diego in 1991. Cheers!
@tomkelsey2303 can't believe I missed this. Thanks for the comment - Dave's was an awesome place! Sad to hear that they closed, along with so many other small businesses over the last few years. Cheers to a fellow NW Ohioan!
They asked me for a receipt, I provided my Amazon order info as proof of purchase. Lady on the phone straight up told me that they wouldn't honor the warranty because amazon wasn't an authorized distributor. Bear in mind this was several years ago. I've heard from multiple people that they may have changed their policy since then.
I have the similar one from Ryobi in Canada. Its similar like that one. its the hp74l. with a right angle and corner drive. I bought it for just assembly and disassebly for this even for building computers. you don't really that high torque stuff.
funny you swapped camshaft and crankshaft terminology. In the FORD Racing technical bulletin, instructions for replacement of timing chains, tensioners and tracks they also refer to the camshaft sprocket as a crankshaft sprocket. I keep forgetting to let them know that.
Ha, I guess it's an easier mistake to make than I thought! If the Ford guys can screw it up in technical documents, then I guess I don't feel quite so bad. 😂
Good timing on this comment, haha. I actually just changed the coolant filter for the first time since the install and initial swap (I changed the smaller filter out after about two weeks just to let it catch any junk that may have been in the coolant, so the bigger filter I just changed had been on there for about 2 1/2 years). Zero issues - the valves worked perfectly, no leaks anywhere, lines are in great shape, coolant still looks brand new. Two thumbs up!
@AllThingsMech sweet. I have a small Crack on my overflow tank and a little play in my water pump, so I wanted to do as much as possible the first time. Any other recommendations 🤔 and how did you settle on a filter bypass pressure
Not much additional to add, sounds like you've got it covered if you're replacing the pump and the overflow tank. You may want to flush the rad while you're at it depending on age/mileage and how much gunk there is in the coolant, but that's about it. I can't take credit for the filter choice, I just took the internet's recommendation and ran with it, lol. These are coolant specific filters though, so there's no bypass or anti-drainback diaphragm or anything like that - just a straight in and out design to maximize flow and help avoid pressure spikes. Once the install was complete and the engine was up to temp, I made sure to check that the hoses on both the input and output sides were hot just to verify that I had good flow and no obstructions, and it was fine. It's been a solid setup ever since. I will say that it looks like I've got a crack developing near one of the bolt holes I drilled to mount the filter, but that was probably because of the rough roads out at the ranch beating that thin sheet metal to death. Now that I'm living near pavement again it hasn't gotten any worse, so I'll probably let it ride for now...even though I should probably stop-drill the crack and weld it up. 😂 Good luck, give me a holler if you have any other questions.
@AllThingsMech so I've figured out what I'm gonna do... the upper radiator hose gets an inline coolant filter with the clear housing, and the lower radiator hose gets the filter to collect everything and to not be as hot at the inlet side. With gravity working for the filter but against changing it, the shut-off valves will come in handy. Thanks, dude. I'll even try to record it as my first youtube video for people to critique and advise.
Just got one. Razor sharp. It’s a looker for sure. Heavy duty which I prefer. My go to beater is the Cold Steel Recon, tanto w/serration. Yes, this knife could be a beater too, but for now I’ll use it as a general non beater.
