PLEASE! upload as much content as possible, i was subscribed to MT's channel but since i'm from outside USA the service was cancelled for me, it will only be available for the U.S. and Canada
@@Archangel1130 no comments, no quick rewind button, terrible buffering because international server. Have to keep paying if I want to watch it years later. Can't watch at friends houses....the list goes on
1980 CJ5 master cylinder,no proportioning valve worries and is correct bore sizes for old jeep weight... Plus they're very cost effective,bolt it,rod and pedal in and let it roll...
So glad you're doing these Fred! MT have totally shafted us here in the UK so I can't watch anything anymore except old episodes on RU-vid and now this!
Awesome build!!! I love what you have done with it! The look you are going for with the big tires and not an aggressive suspension lift came out really well! It gives it a cool hunkered down ready to wheel over anything look with those big meaty tires! Best flatfender Jeep that I have seen/ know of! Cool to see the changes from the main stream that you have used with the air bag suspension, the Chev. V6 with it's cool looking intake manifold and all the rest! Keep up the great work and we look forward to the next up date on this one!
Loved the build, you nailed it , can't keep building the same thing over and over again. Hope we get to see this one once you get everything upgraded and fixed . Thanks Fred for all you do. Love you on dirt everyday and glad you have a youtube channel now that the show wasn't picked up.
Also just an fyi.. late 60s mustang gas tanks fit perfectly between the wheel wells in these old military jeeps. I couldnt bring myself to cut the floor out of mine to french it lower quite yet but seeing these videos gives me ambition and ideas
I never really enjoyed the zany builds that you and Dave did. I always liked the more down to earth stuff. I loved the episode where you guys bought a junkard YJ, got it running and went wheeling......that's the stuff I like.
Subscriber #874 yay !! So glad you are doing this . I loved the extras. So bummed that they stopped having new ones . But love that you are putting them out 👏👏
Yo yo yo this is a good day! I finally was blessed with a recommended video by the RU-vid lord’s algorithm and found your channel! I’ve been stuck on the motor trend for some of your dirt everyday content. But now!!!! But now!!! Lol just wanted to say I’ll be watching 👍🏼
Nice! We have a ‘48 with that same drivetrain. Same front driveshaft issue. 4 wheel disk brakes and stops on a dime. We used an Astro Van hydroboost setup and master cylinder. Stops better than my FJ80!
I worked on a 4.3 vortec once that was stumbling and just not running right after the spiderweb injectors had been replaced. The fuel pressure regulator was not seated fully from the company who remanufactured it.
Awesome video! I'm in the same boat as you with the brake situation. I bought the hanging pedals from Advanced and then went with the Brennan's garage kit. Im still running a manual transmission so I have to find a brake and clutch master cylinders that will work.
hey Fred, if it's running good at low rpm and falls on its face on the freeway, look at the fuel pressure- hook a gauge up to the fuel pressure and drive it at high rpm and load. you might have a pump that cannot provide enough fuel flow to maintain the fuel pressure required for the higher load fuel demands of driving it on the freeway. also, if it's a newer engine with an OBD2 diagnostics connector, get a cheap handheld scanner that can also show the data stream from the computer. in particular you want to look at the fuel trim(s). if the short term and long term fuel trim goes to +15% or higher under a load then you also more than likely have a fuel delivery problem, or if the fuel pressure and flow are good, if i remember right from the episode, you have an aftermarket system with a custom burned programming, it may be programmed with an incorrect fuel map for that rpm/load.
Fred this is great. The extras helped keep me sane between DEDisodes. Are they going to get you another show to do like faster with finnigan? We'd watch it. I don't do the drama in a can shows is rather watch more like the core shows ded,roadkill,rk garage, hot rod garage, and the like.
Fred, try a military wrapped spring from Warn black diamond, (if you can find one) or BDS, the double main leaf helps control the axle wrap in my experience with a spring shackle reversal.
Hey Fred…. Look into vanco power brakes. I just put one of their hydro boost setups in my 75 cj5 with an LS swap and a th350 trans… oh my god I’m in heaven
DED episode idea? Compare 15" UTV tires to 15" truck tires for auto off-roaders. Maybe use 3 different vehicles; something as close to 2000lbs as possible, something around 3500lbs, and something 4000+lbs(I mean, we gotta have some entertainment in the episode; and, what if they DID work on a rig that heavy...) to try to find a limit. Could even make it REALLY interesting and run an ag tire too, even though they're kind of extreme beyond extreme...
On the master cylinder problem: Machine shop Sleeve the Tri bolt mount master to 1” front brakes on one side and sleeve the other side to .75 for rear brakes. Wilwood has a dual master similar to what you already have, spec 1” one master front, .75” for the other side master.
And they now make a timing cover for the vortec that has a timing chain tensioner to help with timing chain deflection, also use the double roller pre-stretched chain
awesome, i can’t get enough of you and dave, on dirt everyday i always wish they were longer! Have you guys done any shows or build on the jeep cherokee xj’s? just got one trying to get on the trails on the cheap any input or future shows with these? I know unibody not great but everything on frame is getting so expensive, had to jump in somewhere.
Hey fred i have simalar brake issues in my gpw..built similarly, kinda ...ill tell u that scout calipers in the front and home brew early cherokee calipers in the rear and a 1 1/16 Corvette master is not quite enough fluid flow for a solid pedal.. i feel like a 1" one might be good size to start with..i suggest making the jeep accept a normal style master cyl thats easy to get at any parts store
This may seem like a dumb statement, but... Is your custom gas tank vented? I was wondering if your "Vacuum leak" is actually due to fuel starvation because the system is unvented?
Hello fred . My name is john . I'd like to ask you some questions Regarding a Dana 80 rear axle. How would I be able to found the strongest axle shafts along with a strong Differential for a Dana 80.? what company would you recommend i get a hold Or get in touch with ? Thank you for any information Fred love the channel and dirt every day
I’m a big fan of flat fenders to the point that I’ll probably change all other Jeep’s to a flat fender design….. but how do thay run off-road? Dos the short wheelbase created problems?
Hi Fred, I'm thinking about a four link for the rear of my yj,really liked your air bag setup, if you did it again would you use air bags or would you go with coils
