Warren. You are one of the best mechanics I've ever seen at work. And you live in some beautiful country there in Oregon. I and the wife came through that way on the way back from Sturgis 2 yrs ago. Nothing like riding through the desert at night with the stars out and fresh air.
Is it just me or, does Warren have the best "work crew" around? LOL It's amazing what "heat and cold" can do to help install and remove tight parts, such as "press on/off". Cheers :)
My 2006 6.0 has been rock-solid. One warranty turbo early on, glowplugs a couple of years ago, and the FICM last year, but all those things are add-ons - the base engine has been trouble-free.
Hey Warren, my inverter will draw down my batteries after a full day left on. I try not to forget about it but you know what it's like when you get busy. I ran a hot lead from my welder battery to the truck battery with a Cat master switch in it. Truck batteries die, I fire the welder, flip the cat switch and let them charge. Saved me more than once!
We used to party in a big open pit quarry! Trucks ,cars,tractors,motorcycles,three wheelers, and a keg of Genesee beer! Tear shit up and have a blast! Good times.
Snap rings drive me nuts. I always seem to have problems with the little pricks. Especially when the bastards ping off across the shop and end up fuck knows where.
Darn it, I was really looking forward to see how you dealt with getting the wheel off! A neighbour of ours had a similar case where it expanded the casing but didn't break through. Think they used a grinder to shave it down.
When I was working with a big international company they use an app to track maintenance on equipment, and things get checked off at regular hours, the maintenance manager can view what jobs are coming up what was done, and wasn't done, the biggest thing is they can plan maintance and make sure its actually done. we took that information and checked if the information provided by the manu was correct on main hours, and checked if hours should be changed for some tasks. some equipment stuck out like sore thumbs, always breaking down before they should, or had really high fuel usage, those units quickly got the chop. The other big thing is operators doing an actual walk around before firing stuff up, check oil, fuel, lube tires etc prior to getting going for the day they had an app for that too that runs on your phone.
I’m searching RU-vid now for the video, “installing Bobcat turbo on my Civic”. I heated motor oil on the stove in my French frying pan with basket. It seemed like such a great idea since I could get the crank gear (air cooled vw bug BS) out with out fumbling with pliers and such. Later we discovered that degreaser spray and lots of Dawn did not get rid of all the engine oil flavor from those fries.....YUCK
Is that the same front axle that was used on the 2950? I replaced the main seal between planetary housing and be knuckle on mine. It looks very similar. I have not been able to get mine to stop leaking. I replaced the bearings at well. Thanks for the info
Too bad you dont need another person it looks so nice there im sick of city im ready to move back to mnts .ive been a mechanic 30 yrs and i work on machines hydraulics and so on when i was in mnts tn cat guy was crazy money so yea ive done my share of work i had a d-9 dozer a 345 320 312 308 two t-300 bobcats a d-4 dozer and really old d-6 what a old beast that was im ready to move if you ever need some good help the harder the job better cause i always get the shit nobody else can fix .and im like you i work alone .
We used to raise dairy goats. Where I live we have problem with coyotes attacking smaller dogs so keep them all up during day and don't let them out at night on their own.
Awesome video, thanks man...... and Yea, I agree with you on wat to do with them assholes kidnapping dogs, and can you belief it, stealing a turbo, like who the fuck does something like that! Jeez, what have become of this world
That bearing heater looks like a pretty slick rig. Did you used to heat them up in a frying pan with hydraulic oil? I'm kinda batting around the idea of getting one it tuff sometimes if you have x amount of money to upgrade tools figuring if you can justify it or keep doing the way you used to.
In Iowa they stopped the kids from scooping the loop years ago. Now having lost two generations of kids (futureshoppers) from their stupidity their downtowns are dead. Empty store fronts and vacant lots.
I had one that bad one time the guy said it leaked for a while then it quit leaking, healed it self up. Here in Canada they were kidnapping dogs and it was rumored they were eating them we call them new Canadians lol
Have you worked on any John Deere 750j engines? 1T0750JXPCD236654 (DZ003) PE6068L227664 (ENGINE SERIAL) 6068HF485 (ENGINE CODE) I've been trying to source engine tools: timing pin, turning tool(JDE83 or similar) to put engine @ TDC. Would you have ideas as to how one would go about doing this with out these tools. Local Brandt dealer won't sell these tools, i called another dealer 5hrs away and the parts are 6-8weeks away. This engine has combustion forcing coolant out the overflow tank, so the head needs to come off. Any information would be appreciated, thanks.
@@justastudentoftheworld3940 Yeah you probably got a bad apple off the Ford tree. My friend never had any problems with his 04 new body so far, and my dad runs a bunch of 5.4s for his work. The 6.2 is probably a better engine for towing, though. I personally like the 09 and older Fords better, but I'm excited to see what the new 7.3 gas will be like.
So did you use stolen pallets for the bon fire? I never went to the parties but I have been called out many times to go out and put the fire out after the cops raided the party.
