That 2500 Cummins has a really good tune on it. And you can tell because it performs the way it does, putting out that power and torque without blowing massive amounts of black smoke out of it. That means it was tuned correctly.
excess black smoke has a benefit of reducing EGT's by running richer which can keep components from cracking/failing due to heat during peak power demands.
@@wacabby Yes, which isn't needed in a 400hp engine, That is needed when you're pushing high hp at high RPMs. A 400hp Cummins blowing a lot of smoke is just an over-tuned engine that is wasting fuel.
FAKE, a original car that does 1 million miles, must have original engine, never touched, original gearbox, never opened, and origignal running gear... this has none off those..
I’ve been watching for over five years now which is crazy to me. But at the end to see your garage with all your exotics is crazy to see. From the $500 Lincoln Town Car to now, it just blows my mind.
@@andrewdonohue1853 you’re on crack my boy, while the engine isn’t a product of chrysler if you’ve ever worked on any Dodge, Ram, Chrysler all has Mopar stamped into the parts. All have it in the little window stickers. It’s all the same!!!!
I would highly recommend taking the time to check the timing gear on the Cadillac they used a neoprene coated gear from the factory that becomes very brittle over time and will shatter WITH NO WARNING. If that happens the engine will bend multiple valves and scrap the engine. I know from experience. If you take care of that issue the 500 Cadillac is pretty bullet proof if you can afford the Gas.
100% facts. Gm used the neo gears on several makes in that era. I've seen them go bad within a couple hundred miles, if the car sat for a long time and somebody just started using it again. It seems like happens to quite a few pristine, low mileage, garage kept cars some people get lucky like me and it shears before it even starts.
As a former contractor at Cummins Engines....I couldn't help but laugh here. Yep, I knew what it was and no, I didn't work in their plants or on their engines.....glad you didn't drive it back with that wide open fuel pump. Will be excited to see it stop at 999999 Haha or does it really roll over? We shall see...Haha. Go Hoovie/Car Wizard!!
I miss when an expensive car for him was still four figures. I enjoyed his channel more when he was buying crappy land yachts and fully depreciated luxury cars and had to fit them in a three car garage. He had money, sure, but he was buying cars an average person might buy. Now that he's got Lamborghinis and Ferraris and two Bentleys he's a bit out of touch. I sympathize with a $4000 Lincoln breaking down, not so much a $400000 Lamborghini.
@@paulcarmi8130 pretty sure I said “right now” and yeah, it’s a clean cool restomod, it’s interesting and it’s pretty. I don’t give a shit about unobtainable cars. Seeing something from a different era that’s been taken care of and modernized is way more interesting to me.
Being a diesel, 1 million isn't so much expected as optimistically anticipated. I'm happy for your miled up truck. I had a 94 Chevrolet S10 pick up truck in my twenties and practically lived in it. I'm sure my buddy and I put on at least 100,000 kms just driving around to skateparks together. I maintained it fairly well, always staying on top of the fluids. When I finally sold it to a friend who was building an S10 lowrider, it had clocked 552,000 kms. I got $160 for it and the interior got another life in a lowrider. That engine was amazing! 4.3 litre V6, automatic. The next year I believe came the vortec, and the simplicity was lost. The 94 was a delight to work on and I learned so much while I owned it. Ultimately the major problem cursing the truck in its later years was electrical issues caused by deteriorating trailer wiring to the hitch.
The thing I like best about Hoovies Garage is he doesn’t have to make click-bait titles for his videos. He’s the crazy Gringo That Delivers. Never disappointed.
The hidden secret to the torque is that after it exceeded the mileage of 500,000 every 100,000 it gained another hundred foot pounds of torque so it only makes sense that now she's at 900,000 miles she has 900 ft pounds of torque Plus. Trust me I know what I'm talking about
I was just thinking on your last video I watched, how this million mile beast was going. So glad you uploaded this video. Love your content mate. Cheers from 🇦🇺
This is 'classic' Hoovie ... the everyman, relatable hooptie drama ... 🤩 I enjoy content like this far more than the predictable & elite super car, exotic stuff ... 😏
loved the show, but motortrend charged me twice for over a year for a subscription that only worked 50% of the time. When i brought the issues to their attention they just canceled my subscription and refunded me for just one month of 13 months i was charged for two subscriptions (one not being "scyned to the system".) Thier customer service is aweful. I love both your show and Roadkill, just not willing to deal with a shit app and the horrible people who run it.
@@tsp159 For me, the app worked about 50% of the time and gave me various errors when lauched. Even when it did work, casting as always an issue so i was stuck watching it on my phone. Additionally, the app would crash all the time. All that i could deal with, but the customer service couldnt. My "suppport ticket" was open for weeks on end and the solution at the end was to cancel my subscription without my knowlege and without a refund for 12/13 months i'd been subcribed and charged. Thats the tip of the iceburg as far as issues ive had with them thoughout the last year. Staff was always been rude and unhelpful as well. Maybe I just have shit luck, but it left a really bad taste in my mouth; so much so that i will no longer watch my favorite shows because i refuse to give one more penny to the greedy people who now own them.
ah yes....the pretty pink Poorish! polished the shaft this is gonna hurt we had the misfire it was surging alot it was ripping the interior apart what a bang broken at home hopefully I will be using it a little bit more it was very reliable over the past 2 years great job Wizard I'll cry off camera
@@shaunportlock4924 It fit like a glove, who ever did the swap did a good job. They just forgot to upgrade the brakes!!! which is the first job I did in my ownership
There's a regulatory system on the cp3 pump (high pressure pump mounted on the engine) I've had one fail on my 5.9, common issue that happens. It fails and tells the pump to put out no pressure and or it tells it to max out pressure which mine did causing it to sound like a knocking motor. Small sensor that causes the issue. Fairly simple to change
love this channel BUT i need that sheet over the window in your garage to be replaced with some type of blind system! how u managed to hooptiefy that beautiful garage is HILARIOUS!
Just picked up my XC 90 fromNew in 2016 and now with about 110,000 miles on it the Volvo dealers. Just had an $1100 bill which included oil change and two new batteries one that generally runs the car and one that runs the accessories. Never knew that that. My Bentley Continental GT, a 2007 has a similar set up. Anyway watching you settle up with the car wizard makes me feel that I’ve gotten away lucky most of the time. It’s interesting that he could fix the variety of cars that you managed to accumulate and keep them alive. It’s such a pleasure to watch your channel as well as his gonna keep it going guys
I love how this man has over a million dollars worth of cars in the garage and the window looks like it has a sheet nailed up over it. Ha Ha Ha. I know your cars keep you broke but get a curtain rod man. JK
