Mopar Hotrod Truck :Hedman Hedders and Custom Exhaust! Project Juan Carlos 

Thank you for your video. Appreciate you sharing a dunce moment lol. Iv made plenty myself. Take care.

Same headers I have on Drag Truck !! Nice headers, speak'n from experience!

Your only human....thats what I love about you! Done the same mistake with brake tubing and fittings Doh!....but the exhaust came out nice and gave me plenty of ideas for my truck.

I've forgotten about the flange on a couple of exhaust jobs. You are not alone brother.

Great job on your exhaust fabrication, i took a double take when i seen flange on wrong side of bung. Oh well living is learning.

Nice job

Hah! I would categorize that as a blunder, not a mistake! As for me... I don't make mistakes or blunders. Nope, I go all out and create masterful catastrophes! Nice looking and sounding exhaust job Mopar Joe.

Omg! Someone else does have my luck! Lmao. Good videos and thanks for the bloopers!

If a person has never made a mistake like that before, then they probably haven't done much. Great video Joe.

LOL, I just bought a 90 model Club Cab same colors.

LOL, bite by the flange, that's funny.

I'm pretty sure a few old school carpenters had mini strokes when they saw you using a wood chisel on that gasket.....lol. Thats a nice clean truck. We have an 86 W250, but unfortunately it spent a good bit of it's life as a plow truck in PA, so it's 71.4% rust. Good installation, clean and simple.

You ever do a carb conversion on a truck like that, mice have destroyed my wire harness for the multi port and now lve got a flooding issue and l can't get a a straight answer outta of anybody

Im running same set on my d100

Great video, is there anyway I could keep the stock starter on after installing it or do I really new a mini starter

Lol! The flange! I thought I had it figured out your mistake when you installed the headers without putting the starter in. I maybe mistaken but it looks like the frame on the driver side has been cut or shaved back for clearance? I am currently installing the exact same headers on my small block warlock and having issues just barley clearing the frame and mini starter 🤦‍♂️.

As soon as i saw the opps... Nearly lost my coffee!!! Haha thank you for confirming that Im not the only person to have done that!!!🤣

Clean.

I’ve made similar welding ut-ohs. Nice video and a clean install.

The truck is looking and sounding awsome 😎👍🤘🏁

Out standing work dude!! As for the little screw up been there and done that.

Been there before Joe. Worked at Midis muffler screwed up more times than I'd like to admit. But I've also watched a lot of guys that I was working with do some horrendous screw-ups. One guy cut off drive shaft in half thinking it was an exhaust pipe, another guy set a car on fire because he kept beating up the floor board LOL

I couldnt help but laugh at the misteak as I have been there my self This video come out the night before I am doing the same job tomorrow .Your exhaust looked real good nice job!

Most would've left that edited out. That's why you're better than most. Trial and error is all part of the hobby

21:14 haha. After some bad words I eventually removed the giant 1978 starter from a 318 with Hedman headers. What a wrasslin' match that was, trying to get that big ol' starter out from such a tight space.

Almost the same kind of setup I plan for my 85. I want a good set of coated headers though. Looks good! And I'm glad you show your mistakes. It happens, get a laugh out of it and fix it.

Great video !!! I noticed that you did that right around the 6 min mark An said to self I bet that’s the mistake he’s talking about lol.. I even rewind it to make sure I did see what i thought I saw An sure enough lol !! Too funny 😁.. simple fix though ..that’s pretty close to what I about to finish up on my truck.. I got the headers all on with magnaflow high flow cats , An my header on passenger side came with 02 bung already in it .. an I also have a rear 02 sensor as well .. but I have yet to get my race bullets on An pipes I plan to run the same way u did ..did you not use a rear 02 sensor an where did u put the spark plug fouler in front 02 sensor Im guessing ?? An is that where I should run mine on the upstream/front ,not the downstream or ? It sounded real good !! 👍

For the love of goodness nobody is saying if they used the original starter !?!?! Help me lol I got a 88 starter for my 87 and now the starter won’t turn

That is a nice exhaust system! The truck sounds great! And it rips! Great job on the exhaust install, very clean installation . I wonder if you can get those Dynomax bullets in 4", looks like they would make great resonators for a Cummins exhaust. Tough break on the oxy sen and header flange, That is most definitely something I would do!! ........and possibly have done.....

Hey looks good and sounds good thanks for sharing.

Did you have any problems with the starter

What has all been done to the engine?

did you have to cut the frame?

Never made that mistake. I mean that particular mistake. 😂 On my 66 Volvo wagon I upgraded from a straight 4 speed to one with a Leycock De Normanville J-type overdrive. (Gear Venders units are based on those) Somehow I got through the engine build, a B20 block from a boat with car internal parts and went through the transmission and attached OD unit mostly mistake free. I'd never really seen any of that stuff before, so I was feeling smart. When I put the thing in I thought about hooking up the wires before getting the transmission in place, but didn't. Got everything bolted in then went to wire up the OD unit. There's two wires on top of the tanny for the 4th gear switch, that no matter how much I cut my hands trying I couldn't get at! Spent a few hours unbolting crap to tilt the engine back for two damned wires. But every thing worked and the only stain on the floor after the initial run in was my blood. 😂

You are not the first to make that mistake and far from the last... I cannot say I have ever done it, but I think it's because I have heard it too many times about making the flair before putting on the fitting. It's kind of beaten into me...

So you was in the military

You did a good job on that. I've got the same headers waiting to go on my 87 d100 318. Good to know they fit good.

I have exactly the same truck - 1991 d150 with 318 tbi and A500 transmission. I will pull out the motor soon and do a refresh - new gaskets, freeze plugs, paint, etc. The truck runs pretty good, small water leak at the intake manifold and one of the freeze plugs. I was thinking about converting it to carburetor, delete the emission and computer stuff and do the same long headers. But now I see yours still with tbi and running good.... Do you think what you did to this truck improved the drivability, power of the motor? Would you do a carb conversion to this one or just go with a 360 la carb all in?

Seriously nice man. Im doin my own exhaust system as well, full 3” true dual on a 360 with shorty glasspacks and side exits. Hoping itl sound something like these haha

It's like strapping a tree to the roof of a car without opening the doors first lol

Nice job! This is great because I’ve been wondering about which headers to get for my ‘74 D100 and was planning the exact same exhaust routing. I gotta have more muffler than that though lol! I’ll get a mini starter if I have to, but how tough is it fit the stock starter? Looks like it would be really tight.

Speaking as a pro for 26 years we all have made mistakes. If a person says the haven't, then they haven't wrenched that long, or they're lying. Others have made worse mistakes than that.

If anyone thinks when you work for any period of time on deferent things that stuff like that doesn’t happen you should retire lol we are all human as long as it’s not everything you touch be good brother

Hahahaha. Been there done that

I just use cut off roofing nails and silicone on head holes.

Hahaha!!! Did you ever change a transmission and forget to put filter back on ? Then start it and pump the oil on the floor. I did more than once. I put a intake on a 440 cuda and when I went to hook up throttle the intake was on backwords!LOL
