When you bought it know one said the day would come that you couldn’t use it, I can see updating new production vehicles, but it’s unbelievable that they change the rules on all of us.
I operate under the premise that I owe no one an explanation about my tools. When someone wants to borrow something I lie, pure and simple. "Don't have one, sorry." People who want to borrow your tools have spent their money on bullshit. They have no respect for the value of our tools or what we went without to have them. You seldom get your tools back, if you get them back at all, from a borrower, in the same condition the tool was in when you lent it. So screw tool borrowers. "Sorry, I don't have one."
I love watching your channel, though I'm not a mechanic I enjoy seeing how things work and are put together. I am amazed at what you can accomplish working by your self. Great job!
Drove a 9900i for awhile that had an ISX. Engine tag rated hp @450. But the facility that serviced it told me the injectors were upgraded to 500+hp. It ran like it, too. Got good fuel economy, and ran. Hard running truck, but rode like the axles were tied to the frame..
Best thing I done to my 3406C was converted it over to a B model!! It's supposed to be 425 horsepower but it pulls right with my 3406E @550 horsepower with very little smoke. The thing that truck owners should do is flip the bird to California and any other state that makes these laws for a repower to be legal and refuse to go into their jurisdictions! Wouldn't be long before all of the shelves would be empty and they'd be singing a different tune! I was going to go help with the fire clean ups until I found out about all of the crap that I'd have to go through and do. They can live with their own problems that they create for themselves.
i have been looking forward to this series. hate to see the cat coming out and a cumapart going in but it is what it is. its like detective work when i buy trucks that had been from mechanic to mechanic trying to fix the problem but never got fixed. its amazing how many mistakes you find.
"Friends" like those, aren't friends, been burned a few times myself, lost a few "so called" friends that really weren't friends. Their loss not mine, my only loss was the cost of the $$$ to replace what they broke of mine. I stopped loaning out my tools!! If I borrow a tool, I return it in the same or better shape than I received it, I also return as soon as I'm done with it. I've never been one to borrow, have had to a few times though. Purchased what I needed later as money came in for it. You're definitely one helluva mechanic, "craftsman" and it shows. Truly enjoy your video's Warren. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the series on this old girl. Cheers :)
My father and I took a 74kw with aluminum frame and sqhd rears with torsion bar susp a six and a four with a formula Cummins and ended up with new frame Pete air Trac sq100 rears and a 13 with a 12.7 Detroit the ppl at freightliner and kw of sac said it couldn't be done but my father was head engineer on subs back in the diesel electric era and could do anything
I took the guard off my 4 inch grinder too. Was cutting a piece of metal with it using one of those thin blades. It kicked back on me and split the end of my thumb to the bone. After doctoring on myself for an hour(wouldn't stop bleeding)I put it back on never to be taken off again. Has since healed but sore as hell. Every time I bump it on something I think about that stupid guard. Gonna be a lot of work but I have confidence in your ability to make it so. Fab on my friend fab on..... Just remember to be careful with them grinders and remember the old adage "neither a lender or a borrower be". Look forward to the next one.
Hey Warren worked for a radiator shop industrial radiator shop we take all of little bits and pieces off the radiator and throw him in muriatic acid overnight they would turn black is the nastiest bolts this rose pink it would sure cut the grease and crap off that stuff
iv learnt a lot from your vids ,this shud be on tele instead of the brainwashing garbarge ,people would actuly learn somthing ,theres somthing about your vids that i can watch them rite thru ,more power to you man
Be a lot easier if you removed the hood. Might as well test the air to air while it's out. That tractor been off the road for a while 2017 IFTA sticker on it.
Great video, I'm looking to do something similar. I have a 2000 freightliner argosy car hauler with a Detroit series 60 and looking to put a dd13 in it. How much did it take you to do this conversion?
Why are you taking the best make of engine out and putting an inferior one in ? My 3406 (1985) has 2954000 miles on it and still runs strong never get that on any cummins
I also lost a lot of so called friends when I quit doing favors and wrenching for friends, now they only show up when they need cash or have something to sell. question why didn't you pull the hood before starting work on the re-power to make it easier to work on.
New government regulations!! You know you can't live without a govern,net to tell you what you can and can't do!! They have even banned foot scooters in Nashville!! Too dangerous to have them around!! Trying to get pot legalized too!! SCOOTERS: to dangerous!! MARIJANE: keeps the voters voting for them!! Makes them easier to rule over, when they are stoned and stupid!!
You learn early not to lend anybody your tools, in fact when I started on the building, you didn’t ask, because a man needed his tools to earn his living, and you didn’t want someone to feel embarrassed for not lending you something he needed.
Great video as always. I am thinking about that you have your truck on for lifting and air purpose. It would not be a good working for you with so much gas from the engine. Why not have an external electric hydrual pump to connect. And the same with air an external electric compressor. Dont be angry for this advices. Have a good day Warren.
You know nothing about how a service truck works, hydraulic pumps and air compressors run off the pto which requires the engine to be running. Electric stuff wouldn't cut it in this line of work. You don't know much at all
Luckily you are Exempt from the HB2007! It only applies to the Multnomah, Clackamas, and Washington County, also only applies to Companies with more then 5 Trucks.
Dude there is a reason they don’t put bottom Feed fuel tanks in trucks if ya hit debris on the road tire tread etc it knocks the fitting right off 150 gallons of fuel on the road then the dot and the hazmat people get done with ya about a 17 k insurance claim when ya done better rethink that bottom feed shit we changed all our trucks to top feed just saying it can really cost ya and it could easily burn ya whole rig down
Mechanics are a strange bunch. They'd rather do it themselves than include others. My brother- in -law has three diesel repair businesses. He won't let his father, a retired Diesel mechanic, work along side him with any of the businesses. Personnel is a tough business though. Mechanics are suited for wrenching, not coddling humans. :)
DEF reduces performance and millage thereby causing you to use more fuel to do the same work and the result is putting more carbon in the air. How is this a solution to emitting carbon when you have to use up more fuel? The def tanks, the pumps, the maintenance are all creating more emissions.
You're exactly right! My old 12 valve Cummins gets 25 miles per gallon driving down the highway and my buddies newer Cummins gets 12 to 14 miles per gallon. More fuel more emissions not to mention twice as much fuel needs to be produced, refined, and transported! And then they have to manufacture all of the emissions equipment which has to be replaced or repaired which causes more pollution!
I guess curbing emissions in an effort to take better care of the place we live is communist? Warren, love your videos and know you’re one hard working s.o.b. but come on now.
I don't mind the DPF filter if it's big enough or works good enough not to cause back pressure but the EGR I just can't gut. To much problems with coolers and a diesel likes air and lots of it and clean air. They don't like breathing their own farts. Bad deal that you got all your tools stolen. It's real hard to gut a damn thief. If we had the rights to shot the bastards there would be lots less of them.
get some foam sewed into the knees of your coveralls . Take it from me , on my knees in construction , tree climber , played hockey , sure paying for it now in my 60's , knees full of arthritis .
My understanding is soon, California will no longer register/plate CMV's older than 2010. As per this video, am I to assume that re-powering older chassis with 2010 and newer engines is now an option? My 2003 Intl 9400i has one of the very last non-EGR Detroit Diesel 12.7L Series 60 engines ever built which I just had rebuilt March 2016. I'll be damned if I'm going through all this just so my 2003 truck meets 2020 emissions. My driving career will end at 37 years and that will be it, give up CDL's and walk away. Us owner-operators won't be able to stay in business with all these new emissions rules.
First video of someone mounting a DEF tank Most people out here in East Canada are paying to delete these once warranty is out. They are a pain in the ASS
iceroad they gotta be careful. I’m going to school with a guy who’s dad runs a truck shop that does deletes here in Ontario. The MTO came in under cover, got him to delete a truck for cash and arrested him and closed the shop
@@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353 i appriciate your response. But if he sold the rig he had for 50k then saved that 50k he would have 100k on a down payment on a brand new truck. Multiple ways of looking at it. Not bashing you by any means. Just was putting it out there. You do great work!
Oh ok I must of mist where you are located. I have heard that California is thinking about stopping defensive they say if causes cancer would never of thought of that as you have to spray fertilizer in there get it hot and blow it out the exhaust they were thinking with there head up there butts on that one .
Having trouble understanding why these alterations have to be done. I get that you are getting the work done someone else ran away from. And that the new engine requires compliance with new environmental laws....big tank swap for a smaller one to make room for the add blue tank? No trucker no knowledge of us laws. Just trying to understand.mthanks
Newer Diesel engines have whats called Re-Gen capabilities. that blue tank is fluid that is injected into the exhaust when it reaches a certain temperature to burn out soot and other emissions caught in that DPF filter. (that big tank thing that was welded that will become the passenger side step. It has a big honey combed filter inside that acts like a catalytic converter on a gas car)
@@james1307oak Close. The DEF fluid is sprayed into the exhaust stream constantly to convert NOx gases to less harmful Nitrogen and water.The DPF Filter captures the black smoke/soot it the filter and the machine periodically does regens to burn off this soot in the filter. It just dumps large amounts of fuel into the exhaust stroke to heat up the exhaust.They are two separate operations that do attack different part of the emissions. Both are a big headache and kill reliability. But honestly the filter is a bigger headache than the fluid.
@@crazyjdkid Right, but do not worry about that. I hear that they almost have autonomous driving battery trucks perfected!. Won't be long before combustion engines are no more.
nattydreadlocks1973 that’s the whole reason why he’s doing it. California won’t licence a truck that can’t pass modern emissions anymore they won’t tag it
D.E.F. = Dumb expensive frickin waste motors don't last more fuel consumption. It was already expensive to work on a truck now it has tripled. O/ops. Will be gone in the next few years. But still a good video .
