Almost never get to meet a real genius . That Merlin is a heck of a guy ! Thanks Jim , now I know exactly what to do with my 93 F350 2X crewcab Looongbed.

@dioad1739 5 месяцев назад

I’ve been working on cars, trucks, engines and builds for 40 years my first build was a 1960 Chevy apache 10 I replace the 235 and three on the tree with a 327 300 hp from a wrecked corvette and turbo 350 trans when I was 21 but I’m definitely not in the same ballpark as Merlin but I don’t think many people are , good luck Jimmy you’re a awesome dude love your channel.

I thought I was going to be a commercial pilot too, add 80 hours solo, when to take the FAA physical, the color blindness is going to restrict my license so much no commercial possibilities. You never know where life is going to take you

@guysonne423 5 месяцев назад

Backstory is good Jimmy it brings us in and gives more insight to you.

@justinsane7128 5 месяцев назад

I want to replace the 6-volt red top on my 54 international what a price shock that was, 250 bucks and I had two of them

@KarelRode 5 месяцев назад

Great back story and something about yourself and the path that got you where you are today. We need more real stuff like that and less of the old drama.

Good job Jimmy and thank you Merlin for helping Jimmy

@deadengine 5 месяцев назад

You fly helicopters?

@patrickb5656 5 месяцев назад

Helping you, also helps Merlin. He admires your jet ski knowledge. And you, his automotive skills. Friends helping each other is the best therapy, imo. I am talking for free and without any advance thought of money. You do other things to show appreciation. Like, I hope you bought the lunch, Jim, lol.

@kevbev1524 5 месяцев назад

F- 100? Is that like a T-100?

@AdventuringwiththeS.G.O.C.C 5 месяцев назад

Jim, you are Merlin should fly up/down over here to Sierra Vista and take a gander at "Fort Auto Parts" in Huachuca city. Old cars galore. The owner passed and his kids just want to sell the cars. I bet there is a project or ten in that yard for ya'll. Let me know & I can pick you up at the airport.

your gonna love it . i have a 1972 ford f250 4x4 that i installed a 1st gen 5.9 cummins in it with the getrag 5 speed . dana 60s front and rear with 4 wheel disk brakes. i own four pick ups and a jeep and that one is by far my most favorite one to drive and it gets 21 mpg all day long.

@lesheath6216 5 месяцев назад

I've been wanting to do this swap on my 84 F150 step side but it seems like a huge undertaking. Also, are you using an Allison trans or a Dodge unit?

@R_B62 5 месяцев назад

Merlin built him a transmission.

@khcopter 5 месяцев назад

So as mechanical as you and Merlin are and you guys don’t have your A&P licenses? Yet you have your pilot licenses!! somethings better than nothing. I guess anyway, enjoy the video thank you!!

@georgiacornjerker1457 5 месяцев назад

I really enjoy your channel. You and Merlin are a great team. My dream is to have a Lathe and Mill like you have in your shop. Keeping the skills alive. We are the last generation to have the knowledge to pass it on.

@bradleymadosh911 5 месяцев назад

The wire will work fine. Once it starts it doesn't send any oower threw it. So alls it does is send juice to the starter

G'day from Australia Jimmy and merlin I have a 79 80 xlt 4wd f100 with a 6.247 perkins that was a factory operation here in Australia its 1 of 200 built here its no speed machine but it has heaps of touque

Thats so cool!

@motardmike 5 месяцев назад

So close Jimmy...also keep on with the Jetski mods please.(what happened with wes's repair)

@j.j.clingman4083 5 месяцев назад

Jimmy I’m glad to see the old Cummins finally starting up after many years of sitting on the back burner!!! Lol!! I bet for you hearing it run for the first time in many years definitely helps motivate you in getting everything all rapped up on it so that you and Merlin can ride in it to lunch and even maybe take the ladies to dinner hopefully!!! Lol!! I guess that might be a tight squeeze!!! Lol!!! I definitely can’t wait to see it all finished up and also see what you pick for wheels and tires also!!! A nice set of wheels and tires can definitely change a look of a vehicle also so I definitely hope that you pick a really cool set!!!

Yes, it sure was. :-)

@neilfromclearwaterfl81 5 месяцев назад

@@jetskijim007 Didn't need much time to stabilize or is it just that the old lathe's speed control isn't that fussy? Best!

@michaellauer3397 5 месяцев назад

High time helicopter pilot here. Fixed-wing too. I don’t think I’ve ever had a “mundane flight“, from Ranch work, gathering cattle to flying off shore oil and gas support. I also have a Cummins dentside swap I’m working on. I am at a stopping point where I don’t have enough room between the steering and the firewall to fit the oil pan and transmission adapter. What did you do at the firewall?

@jetskijim007 5 месяцев назад

I remember Merlon grabbed a big dead blow hammer and bent it inward. If i recall it was driver side at the back of the head. It only took a little to clear.

@michaellauer3397 5 месяцев назад

Cool beans… does the accelerator still go through the firewall in the same place? I need to pull the cab, order the new mounts and just get her done…. Part of the delay is the truth that my heart is in doing a pre-war truck like a 34 Ford or a Diamond T. Something like Merlon’s Dodge Bros, only flatbed. But the 79 F350 should be so much easier and road-ready sooner.

@marklawrence7412 5 месяцев назад

I think Jimmy is great ! However, watching him assemble then take the same thing apart 20X is boring !!! Tedious !! When Merlin comes over things get done !!!
