buying filters and oil, gassing up and greasing zerks, daily charging go pro and cell phone batteries to bring Letsdig18 to the world on RU-vid, appreciate all you do Chris
you need a drill powered pump. stick one end in the oil catch pan and the other end in a 55 gal drum set that baby to about half throttle with a zip tie and enjoy a beer and you can use it to transfer the new oil back in
Chris, you are one amazing operator, and very professional in everything you do! You also take excellent care of your equipment! It just shows how good of a businessman and also how good of a person you are! Also love that you include Winston occasionally in your videos! He is a good dog! Thank you for everything you do and for the videos you share with us all!
Love the way you changed those filters...no dry start up...WIX filters are the best..im sure you know that's what NAPA filters are..on oil and hydraulic filters put a 5 in front of the number...job well done on fixing the pump too ! Smart Man !!
It's so cool you can express your concerns (to your self on camera), adjust, and complete what's needed so quickly. You do what it takes to get it done efficiently & effectively. So nice to see these days!
@@bigchuckyinkentucky6267 There's no metering device on the tank pump so he has no way of knowing how much oil he's put in that way until it suddenly overflows the fill tube. Motors can be damaged by having too much oil in them as easily as not enough oil so gallon jug by gallon jug is his best method unless he buys a pump with a volume dispensed gauge on it...
@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan I have looked them up for the fuel transfer tanks and they are very expensive. I would have thought that the pump would put out a consistent amount each crank. Measure one crank then figure out how many cranks to accurately fill the oil pan.
Had that happen to me too, used a magnet with string attached to pull up the tube. Also junked the plastic tube connection for a metal coupler.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Isn't crazy that 50k people can't wait to watch you change the oil? I think it's crazy cool that you buy your oil by the IBC toat! Thank you for taking us to work with you everyday! We love the channel obviously
Crack your oil filter to release pressure/ vacuum on oil system for faster draining. Also, cut the bottom 6" off a drum and weld two rebar handles on sides for high capacity catch pan. 1 for oil and use top part of barrel with bung plug installed for antifreeze drain pan
Hey Chris, yesterday with no videos of yours to watch I noticed a lady getting around inside my home. I asked her “can I help you”? She said I’m your wife stupid! She seems nice.
Hot oil and filling cap off usually does the trick, or even pour some diesel in the engine and turn it over a little to make the oil thinner. That also has the benefit of clean out old gunk.
Great video Chris , that’s the type of thing I do like you did with the oil pump , it’s satisfying solving a problem with stuff you have laying about .
I just LOVE the fact that the front grill folds down into an access ladder for the engine bay... Someone on the Engineering Development team was using both Brains AND Common Sense... They probably got fired as soon as Upper Manglement realized it...
Those NAPA Gold series are made by the same plant that makes Amsoil EA and Wix ExtraGuard. Identical media and cans. They are some of the best oil filters made.
Great work Chris. I love those Volvo off road dumps. If you ever need a hand, I'd be more than willing to come down and drive or operate or labor for you. I'm stuck in the terrible state that used to be great of new york... They ruined everything... I can't even afford to build a shed because they ruined everything. Love your channel.
Oh Mr. Donnie I love listening to that man talk he’s got what you call a country accent like listening to Justin laugh, lmaoooo but anyway Chris another great video and can’t wait to you get this job started to see what you’re going to be doing do you and John and your family stay safe and keep the videos coming brother
@@dirtfarmer7472 the first diesel truck I bought was a 3500 cummins. After being gouged on the 10 quart oil, filter and fuel filter I got smart real quick.180$ at the dealer. I primed the oil filter but forgot to prime the fuel filter. No extra fuel to prime with, anti syphon plate in the tank. Kerosene saved the day.
NAPA Gold has some of the best filters on the market! I can't speak for a Volvo Haul Truck, but short of some high performance high dollar filter for cars and trucks they have the flow back doors that keep the filters full when you shut the engine off and avoid dry starts.
The oil takes it time. Just like fishing in the south, take your time. One thing for sure when you get the pipe out. It will never come apart again. Winston is a good dog . Even he knows he got to keep the truck clean. 👍💯
If that Volvo engine drains that slow with the filler cap off/filters off, there might be some kind of vapor lock / sludge up...I'd ask the Volvo shop if that slow drain is normal?
Used to do 140 gallon oil changes on the ship I was on. That was for just one of two main engines. Are 2 generators took 50 gallons each. Oil change day was a touch bit expensive.
on the oil tank try a magnet on the pipe that is still there ,, might be stainless but if it sticks then go fishing for the oil pump tube magnet stick or magnet on a string .. also it could have been sucking air or they have a screen in the end of the tube to keep out any garbage that may get in oil tank ,,,
I write the drain plug size and qty of oil somewhere under the hood (oil filter rack looks like good spot here) on all my vehicles, saves a lot of guessing.. Love the videos Chris!
Hey Chris .. Easy way of getting that peace out of oil is by putting a magnet on a peace of rope and drop it in ... So when are you going to get your self a dump truck ..l You've got every other peace of equipment ... Keep up the great work :)
Thumbs up👍 cleanest oil change I ever saw, I don't know what it is, Anytime I take off the filter no matter what it is on to I've always got oil all over the place.
The company I was working for tried using napa filters on there cat 330d , I went to start it one cool fall morning and as I was walking away I looked back and oil was pouring out the compartment where the filters were. Come to find out the holes where smaller than the cat filters and couldn't take the pressure of the cold oil and blew the o-rings out of the top of the filters, no more napa filters for the chitty only cat
Not sure if you know this, but if you use el cheapo black PVC tape on something, you can make it impervious to most everything by whapping the tape over itself one or two times and then coat the tape thoroughly with PVC glue. The glue will melt the tape and make everything waterproof...Of course yocan spend the big bucks for 3M nasty glue, but about everyone has the cheapo tape around with the glue.
I used to drive an A20 at a landfill back in the late 90's early 00's... Shocks in the seat were shot, and someone had used a bunch of rubber tie straps from the seat back to the handle on the escape hatch to hold it up. Get going a little too fast in the thing and you were in for a /wild/ ride. And I still remember the first time I ever tried to back the thing up. Yeah, I was a pretty good ways more than 45° off where I wanted to go. And the guy that was showing me how to run it was cracking up big time. XD Even had the pleasure of taking it about 10 miles down the highway once. Let me tell you, 30mph in one of those things even on smooth pavement is /no/ joke. Would not recommend. What sucked, was I was gone for a couple years in the middle... When I'd left everything worked, there was a little bit of slop as expected for it's age, but was overall in pretty darn good shape. When I came back, the place had been under new management for a while and apparently nobody ever kept up with maintenance, and it was wallered out /hard/. No brakes, lost a couple gallons of oil a day, lights busted off, glass cracked, super extra sloppy everything to the point I'm sure it'd never been greased once, cab full of mud, electrical system fubar, etc... Volvo tech never could get the main brakes past the point of dumping half the air in one brake press to barely slow it down a bit, so I screwed around enough with it to get the parking brake on the driveshaft working again, which was a trip to try to feather to slow down, and had a snap-in handle that tended to pop out at the /worst/ times. The other equipment had fared about the same or worse, and some were just so dangerous to operate that we'd use anything else possible before resorting to them only if absolutely necessary. The less said about the scraper's quarter mile or so high speed trip down the side of the hill, across a ~20'x6' ditch, and across the neighboring field, the better. I'm so glad I noped out of there when I did.
I forgot to put the drain plug in my 71 Maverick, one time. It ran out on the garage floor. I would think about writing oil on 1 or 2 5 gal gas cans with a breather plug on it. like writing the date and hours on the filters.
I would suggest putting the tote on a stand. Get a reducer or two, a ball valve, a 90, and a plug (to keep dirt dobbers out). Then you don't even have to fool with a pump.
The drain plug you removed is connected to a tap on the engine oil pan (sump) by a hose. I expect this tap is not fully open and this is why the oil flow is so slow at the drain plug on the belly guard.
Drill the PVC where it overlaps the metal tube and then run a single self tapping screw into the metal tube. Fixed for life! Also have you tried leaving the fill cap off when you drain the old oil? Sometimes that releases the vacuum that forms when the oil drains out the bottom.
Chris. Try removing the oil fill cap after you remove the drain plug. That might make it drain faster since it won't create a vacuum inside the crankcase with the filler cap off.
I’ve done that but I saw cut the pvc vertical two cuts! Then I put a hose clamp on it worked great! Hey if it works just go with it! lol I never liked those extensions on the pump, they’re always loose fitting and like you said they suck air! 👌🏻👍🏻
With a clean catch pan periodically put rhe oil into a large glass jar and look for water or antifreeze on the bottom of the jar. A quick check to see if any gaskets are leaking coolant into the crankcase.
Get one of the welding magnets which are about 3 " across they are strong and would hold the pipe. They have a 1/4" hole so sized eye bold with a 500 lb string would work. When you get it could tie it off for a few days for the oil to drip off then pull it through the hole? Covering the opening in the interim. That middle filter is almost 3 yrs old? 5/30/18? Yes I do prefill the filters, cleaning all surfaces don't have to worry about dust , rain /snow yes but . More worried about lack of lubrication then contamination. What size thread are the fuel filters? I choose the 1/14 thread for my fuel filters as they have the lower micron/ cheaper/ plentiful.
