IN THIS VIDEO WE GET SOME MORE PARTS IN FOR JUSTINS 200 INTERNATIONAL 4700. WE MAKE PROGRESS AND REALLY START TO GAIN SOME MOMENTUM AND THEN I SAMPLED THE COOLANT....THERE WENT THE REST OF THE DAY.
Followed your videos and restored my old 2002 4700 box truck. • Engine oil was going into my tank 😳. • Pulled injectors and say damaged rings. • Put new LPOP, new water pump, new fan clutch. Put new gasket on that plate on front where oil was leaking from, new ipr, icp and cps. • Now it sounds and run even better than when I bought it. Now it’s one click one start. • You are a great mechanic. 👍🏿
Totally agree about filling the oil filter. I always do it and have been for over 25 years. Knipex rock, germans make some great tools. Yeah that coolant is nasty. You're doing it right at least. Nice work
You always seem to get the “fun” projects. Hope Justin gets some healing done. That cutting and insertion of fixating appliances can take a while to heal. Trust me on this.
I appreciate the way you explain your way of fixing/repairing things. I know there’s ten ways to skin a cat but your ways are tried and true. Thanks for sharing J.C
I always liked those driveline brakes. Peak makes some stuff called "final charge converter" that lets you switch over to final charge without flushing the system. No sure what kind of voodoo it uses.
JC your illustration of an oz of prevention is worth 10k lbs of cure is what not only make your video's really good but it tells of the extreme quality of your work not to mention your methods of accomplishing said work by using equipment such as gradall. Keep em coming. Glad I found you.
agree with your 'life' comments ( pity our Politicians and those who think they rule our lives don't have the same feelings) thank you, like your style practical and tell it like it is also a word for your assistant, well done on the brake. Keep the vids coming. My Son is also a Justin so a extra moment for him ; all best wishes for him
Excellent video i know what you are going thru working on the ambulance truck I have a one ton Dodge ram with the Cummins diesel engine that is a ambulance conversion and there is alot to be disered when it comes time to work on it
I’ve got a 2000 T444E and a 2003 DT466. The in-line 6 is so much easier to work on than the 8 cylinder. I also have a 2005 DT 466, but that one has the egr on it and less fun to fix over the 2003 w/o the egr. All these trucks have well over 300k miles on them, but run really well. Looks like Justin lucked out and didn’t end up with that worthless AT545 trans in his rig. Keep up the awesome videos brother!
Great maintenance video today I fill my oil filter also always have since owning a car. Hope he recovers quickly sending thoughts out to h8. And his family. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.
Agreed: oil should be pretty darn clean when it comes from the jug, so I go straight in the filter. I think a small particle would be better than dry running for (what seems like eternity). Keep the anti-never-tin-man-paint-seize flowin! Thanks for the video! Nice work as always!
Good Morning Mrs and Mr JC. Another good solid video. I see a lot of,old ways which I expected to happen with my own Lorries. We always filled filters up,wearing a belt and braces I think. Thank you for straight informative chat,
I have an edge tuner on my 97 7.3 and i like how it has maintenance reminder for my oil changes. I just installed a coolant filter kit early this year since i had an oil cooler failure. Im also planning on adding a bypass oil filter. I just put a new radiator and degas tank, water pump, fan clutch in and when i filled it i used 1 gallon concentrate and the rest was mixed but i didnt do a flush. Got an oil leak coming down by starter now so im ordering a new upgraded turbo and ebpv deleted pedestal and with my new 180cc injectors i got a heavy pedal usage 1211 code so new hpop thats better suited for injectors and im thinking my other 3 oil rail plugs as 1 had a bad leak but was fixed to make trk all better and be ready for my heavy tow trip for tractor show
Thanks for the information on changing coolant I was going to change the coolant in my pickup but lost it all when the water pump when out when I was traveling Great video as always
That's right bud fill oil filter whith oil and put it on its clean oil plus I rather fill filter other thàn dry starting it for the first time so if they don't want to let them dry start it till oil fills filter then pumps it into motor but great vid so godbless and stay safe
I always fill the filters too..about 85% full...as you said jug oil is as clean as it gets . I too always date all the filters..as well as the mileage and the hours..especially on ones i work on like trash trucks or tree trimmer trucks . Which trans fluid you using...i use transynd but i know some other manufacturers have come up with suitable fluid for the allisons...hopefully much better priced
I believe that international actually put out a TSB on oil changes and priming the oil system. put the filter on dry, pull the ecm relay to prevent the engine from starting, crank it over until you see pressure reading on the oil pressure gauge. Put the relay back in and fire it up.
JC you and many others talk about Never Cease, can you please tell us what are the things we should use it on and what not to, being from Australia when I started hearing about NC probably 15 years ago via RU-vid channels it was NEVER mentioned in mechanical situations here and I feel that a lot of mechanics in workshops still haven't. Could you please tell us to do's and don'ts of Never Cease Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺
Recently did the cooling system on my 2500HD, got sick of filling/flushing over and over and over and over again. Got nice red Shell ELC NF in it now, though.
Great work JC, I like how thorough you are and the attention to detail. Hope you’re still in business in a few years, I will be contacting you about a heavy duty truck I want to have built with specific options. I think you will be able to find/build what I want.
fixing or building trucks isnt for the faint of heart or light of wallet....i want to be as through as possible and take care of any current and future problems....what costs $100's of dollars in pick up trucks costs $1000's of dollars to do in one of these trucks.
@@j.c.smithprojects Yeah, I’ve performed most of my repairs on cars over the years but as I’ve gotten older I don’t have the time, workspace or tools to do anything other than minor repairs. I’ve got a background in fabrication and industrial maintenance but don’t have a garage space for all the welding and fabrication equipment to do the projects I would like to do. You’ve got a nice setup (it’s your money maker) and do quality work for fair prices. That’s hard to find these days.
That’s really good advice to fill the oil filter before installing back on the truck makes a lot of sense. I do have a question though. What’s the danger of mixing green and red extended life coolants? Do the coolants fight against each other because they have different chemical properties, or do they just simply cool at different temperatures?
the concern is that when mixed they can form a thick gelatinous substance. this substance can limit the coolant flow and heat transfer. it can cause over heating problems. i have never hear of any adverse chemical reactions that harmed the internal passages but i suppose it is possible...we really dont know which or how many coolants were mixed....therefore, get it out, cleaned and proper coolant installed.
learn by doing. trial and error. i figure i could pay the money to go to school or try to figure it out on my own and mess up here and there.....i pay my tuition one way or the other.
Nothing to do with gas or diesel, comes down to now what each motor manufacturer think is best for their motor (ie gm going to dexcool in the 90’s, and now every manufacturer has their own color and mix). It’s basically like oil, do what you feel is best and meets the specs of the motor, just fully flush the system and stick with whatever you use and not flip-flop between every version out there
