My dear friend, thank you for what you provide on your wonderful channel I have a question. Is it possible to exchange a 2003 Yukon gasoline engine for a diesel engine? Diormax. 2003
Couples things I recommend for you . Put an automatic tank drain on the bottom of your tank . Also look into getting a magnetic starter . It will increase the life of your motor . They sell them for 3hp , 5hp, and so on.
I've watched several of these videos and watched everyone beating on the torsion bars. Mine didn't want to move so I pulled the 2 remaining bolts on the lower control arms, dropped the arms down, and they slid right off. Put it back together in the opposite manner. Is there a reason to want to remove the torsion rod? Am I missing something?
Also I'd just sand blast in my back yard! Then take a rake and flatten it in the grass! Won't hurt a thing! Or build a plastic green house that's lined with 6-10mil plastic inside so you can vacuum up the sand and reuse it!
I rented a large diesel powered two behind compressor with sandblaster to do a 1964 El Camino. Body completely stripped and off frame, took about 4 hours but would never do it again.
I picked up a nice short pressure washer wand from Harbor Freight I really like, and there's on that looks identical to it on Amazon but it costs about ten bucks more. They also sell a two piece tube set that allows you to have a straight or angled wand or connect them both for a longer reach with an angle. This has been handy to make it longer and angled to wash the top of the cab of my truck or up into wheel wells or the undercarriage, then just remove the tubes for other stuff. Their foam cannon works well too, but that's off subject. It however does tip over kind of easy if it's not full.
Sounds like a method of containment has to be thought out. Maybe canvas sheets draped over the areas behind the places being de-surfaced, soft to take the velocity out of the sand, to keep the sand local and easier to trap later? There’s got to be an easy way to clean that sand for re-use?
It's cheap...and you feel "fulfilled" you've done it by yourself... something that any man loves to feel...but my question is...does it worth? Doesn't do dust in the air like sandblast...but spreads all over the place...if you don't have a closed "room" to turn cleaning easier is a really pain in the butt...does it worth? I wish I live in America and have a house like you guys have ... I can't do nothing of those things in UK 😢😢😢
Great video, Always good to see someone do the work instead of setting up the scene. I have a 6 liter 4x4 version so no heater in the way. Used a 3/4 round brass punch and a good sledge hammer. One tip I found will make it easier. Before you begin, Use penetrating oil inside and outside on both ends. Let this sit for an hour or two, Then knock the rods out. make sure the suspension is fully dropped first as well.
what about a 2.8l duramax swap into a 1999 dodge dakota, ive been thinking about it severely because the 2.5l gasser 4 banger makes 14-17 mpgs 5 spd manual, besides the obvious transmission swappage to the previous gen with the same motor but better gas mileage, Ive been considering also an engine swap
I call bunk on this toy. I bought it, could not find Med. Sand anywhere, went and got Med. Grit Black Diamond. That thing clogged constantly and fed inconsistently. It was really good at removing the weak paint but left pock marks on the good paint. It took me 60 grit on a sander to remove the pock marks. I'm still sanding to get that project paint ready.
