Did I Waste $5000 on Engine Parts? More Horsepower & MPGs? (Part 1)

Did I waste $5,000 upgrading my old pickup or should I have spent that money on a new pickup? Before the upgrades, the truck accelerated from 0-60 in 17.08 seconds. Towing 10,000 pounds, the truck accelerated from 0-60 in over 45 seconds. Also, the truck is unable to hold highway speed towing 10,000 pounds climbing a 3% grade.
I requested a collaboration with Power Driven Diesel in Cedar City, Utah. A big “thank you” to Will, Todd, Myer, Griffith, Reed, Levi, Pedro, and the rest of the team at Power Driven Diesel for their role in this review. In part 1 of 2, I travel out to Power Driven Diesel for the upgrades to the engine. I do not accept sponsorships and I paid for all of the parts, fluids, etc used to upgrade the engine. In part 2, I rebuild the transmission. I paid for all of the parts used to upgrade the transmission.
I do not receive any form of commission or financial benefit from the sale of Power Driven Diesel parts. Here are the links to the parts I purchased for the upgrades. I used 055 delivery valves and not the 025 listed in the engine upgrade kit. I highly recommend calling Power Driven Diesel’s customer support team to discuss upgrades. They are friendly and very helpful.

@@ProjectFarm They are a great expansion to your style of investigating topics, evaluating them, and helping us learn alongside you. The only constructive criticism I can offer is to vary up your transition/explanatory phrase for scene cuts. There was a lot of "let's . let's . let's " that wouldn't sound as artificially punctuated with a script like "let's letting us . Next, the " or, if the shop was doing the work and you were describing their work "they first before and ".

not knocking this, but that's 5k in parts. best have another 10k to spend to do this, without the trans. it's closer to 20k when all is said and done. so it's 25k. now i didn't work on diesel engines, but built my fair share of hot rods. sure i could get 550 horse out of a 350 by spending 5k. but i did all work. labor ain't free. other than that? this guy is good.

@Bloodcurling 10 месяцев назад

Agreed. I had to properly calculate and size my full exhaust properly for the exhaust shop. Everyone just comes in and wants 3" pipes. I explained if I was going true dual with true x-pipe I don't need that and to keep the stock size size. I also installed race converters. My case was gasoline The black diesel guys don't realize that all the coming out of the exhaust was also in the cylinder, all that soot does get into the oil and ruins the engine faster. Look up the oil change intervals of diesel vs gasoline vs CNG

If you’re enjoying these kinds of tests and more folks than myself show interest in improving a belt-driven, carbureted engine, I’d absolutely love to see it. Take care!

@shona5512 10 месяцев назад

It's entirely dependent on the engine. Many of the cars I have just required a turbo upgrade to make more power. Obviously, you will have to tune it again to get more power out of the turbo, but if your car is capable of it, your factory injectors and intercooler are enough to make a large difference in power. However, if you want to get the absolute most out of your turbo upgrade, you're best to upgrade other components as well. So basically, you can improve performance with just a turbo upgrade, but you won't be able to get the figures that the turbo is rated for, without other upgrades.

@devdecker7812 10 месяцев назад

Well , smaller engines get less effect just from turbo . Bigger engines get a bigger boost because of percentage

@Demoralized88 10 месяцев назад

You don't even need a new Turbo anymore - tunes just up the boost from stock. Modern DOHC Turbo engines will very much improve with a little more boost. Older pushrod and 2v Diesels are so flow-restricted that they can't make much more without greatly improving head flow and raising the RPMs to take advantage of it.

@creak92 10 месяцев назад

16 years? You're off by more than 10 years, a 96 is already 27 years old which makes this even more impressive tbh. My winter truck is a 86 and definitely benefits from regular oil based undercoating as it doesn't really rust anymore after I've welded in lots of fresh steel to fix the previous owners neglect. But it could need an upgrade as well, it's way slower than Tods truck in stock form :D

1: Change your battery "crossover" cable. They corrode inside the insulation and cause the passenger side battery to boil over because the Cummins charges the passenger side battery but tests battery voltage at the drivers side. That STUPID WIRE took out my turbo, A/C, and everything that you're replacing. 2: Absolutely loving this as I'm literally washing anti-seize off my hands (getting a snack) about to bolt my new turbo on my 2006 5.9 Ram 2500 as I'm fixing the problem that I just spoke about. 3: Thanks for saving me tons of money... and for all your videos. Love the integrity. PS: The bolt trick is magnetic heat induction guns. Best money I've ever spent on tools for rusty diesel trucks. Buy a cheap one online ($250). Works better (and safer) than oxy/acetylene and looks like magic.

Now you need to add an OBDII ELM 327 dongle and get the OBD JScan app. That app will let you make more custom changes, although it is geared toward more modern Ram/Dodge/Jeep products. Interesting story: had a 2011 Ram 2500 work truck that had a button on the dash to let you run "light load" mode. This let you drop tire pressures to 65psi front and 45psi rear when not towing or running heavy. This allowed the truck to ride like a 1500. The button re-adjusted settings for TPMS warnings. Ram got rid of this feature after a year or so, likely due to idiots forgetting to air back up prior to towing/hauling. However, the JScan app brings back that functionality! Of course, if your truck is pre-TPMS, you can just adjust pressures (and subsequent ride comfort) as needed.
