 Hey, what's happening YouTube to tune them back in today, right here at the Rust Belt Mechanics. So Sunday live stream It's a good day. Everybody is chillaxing after an awesome new year. I hope How was everybody's fantastic holiday season and new year? Did everybody have some fun? How was it? Sure. I got my Microphone settings ish Can all hear me Maybe at least that's what i'm trying for It's a little chilly out today too. It snowed last night. I know I don't usually like uh Using those four letter words or anything, but the snow has arrived in Ohio. What's up, Doug Page? Thanks for tuning in I know it's a little bright out there, but that's okay So everybody having yourselves a good holiday Get some good tools in did you get some good deals? I know they had a couple of really good deals through a lot of the manufacturers through Um like tool nut and everything just before Christmases All kinds of stuff. Dang that me Every day fleet tech the salt master himself cruising on in here. I must stuff blowing up. Stop it Let me put that thing on silent Ag tech it is going pretty decent right now It's a little bit cold. So i'm trying not to do as much as I possibly can out in this crap Uh, actually I am going to be shopping for a new tractor here in the next couple of weeks and um I need to talk to somebody about some of the stuff that I want to be able to do and use and To be totally honest. I hate dealing with salesmen Uh, like car salesmen and tractor salesmen are the same freaking thing Annoying as hell and I don't like dealing with them. They're paying the but You know, they they try to sell you the biggest fanciest junk that they have available in their lot and they don't want to Steer you in any other direction the stuff that you know, another dealer might have or Stuff that you know, they might have to order because they won't see as much profit since they don't have the stock It's a pain in the butt. So I went and looked at a local place here at some cabotos and damn those cabotas they are Oh high priced so the things I want to do with said tractor Is I need as long as it doesn't have a tarmac See how it is. So I need I want a three-point stump grinder Uh to mount on the three-point in the back So I want one of those I need a loader To be able to move a crap load of gravel and mulch and everything all over the property Uh, I need it to have enough horsepower to Pick up a bunch of logs and everything. I want to be able to get a grapple for the front end of it Usually doing a lot of woodwork and picking up Big stumps and logs and stuff ripping stuff out and around And some pallet forks for lifting things up onto a shelf unit up in the barn That's Primarily the use for it there. Oh and I want to get a snowblower for the front of it That is another big thing because the driveway here is I've got about 350 yards of driveway that I need to Do snow removal a couple of times a year. I know this year. I haven't had to thankfully But that is the yet factor One of those things that I would like to have um Go to like to have a cabin closure Bro, was someone else all told me you died like four weeks ago No, I definitely didn't die. I'm I'm still good to go I've taken some time off Taking some good much needed time off away from the channel You know, I started this channel Back about three and a half years ago And throughout the last, you know, a couple of years It's been it's been pretty busy. It's been pretty chaotic I was putting out two three videos a week for You know, two or three years. So I just needed some time off in a way I hadn't taken any kind of breaks on that time I think the longest I had gone without shooting a video was like You know five or six days maybe a week. So I I took about two months or so off and Did some family stuff did a little big mini vacation Uh, the property here takes a lot of work and a lot of effort to handle some of the fall like summer season closed down stuff So I've got to I had to handle doing a lot of that stuff And then just taking some me time some us time for Me and the family me and my wife she wanted to take a motorcycle course So I went and took that with her. So now we have motorcycle licenses I went and bought a motorcycle a couple months back and Been writing that at the end of the the year. So that was fun Yeah Doug page. I got a new to me lly occasionally a few codes turbo for So I replace the turbo with anything other than stock beneath the tuner Doug, yes, you would There are stock upgrade turbos that you can get Ryan's diesel service does like 64 and 66 millimeter They go up to 68 for stock drop in turbos, but you can do a 64 With high flow vanes or sick even up to a 66 with minimal tuning you can go for that one Did I consider a skid steer? Yeah, all the one and then you could have a cab probably get a used one Uh, so around here right now I looked at skid steers and the only thing that I worry about a skid steer is all the places that I have to go um It's all grass. It's all lawn. It's all Mowed grass so Skid steers at least in you can correct me if I'm wrong skid steers in my History, they they tend to tear up ground a whole lot and a whole lot more and I want to do that as little as possible so That was one of the things that I kind of needed to Uh, think of on that one. I know the tractor if I get one I really want to be able to get the turf tires for it because I don't want to be ripping everything up The grass on here on the property is there's a lot. I've got a mow right at 10 acres And 10 acres of mowing with all the trees and everything that's up here This it's kind of crazy. It takes me about five and a half or six hours of mowing to get it done. It's a lot It is a whole lot Kicking off 2022 Zombie rush film Yeah, yes, I am zombie jesus Now we are doing good. McBakes back in here McBake, are you excited? You have like eight days till I get to see you, right? Have you dropped that news on your channel or anything? It's been a a good couple of days off. I know this next week Gotta get back in to the grind pretty hard at work. I know we have a lot of big stuff planned Okay, I am in ohio The the state that is known for Pretty much absolutely nothing. What is there to do around here? Pretty much absolutely nothing Yeah, there's not a whole lot around here 2004 SRX is it okay to run the transfer case 60 40 instead of 50 50 What do you mean run the transfer case because the 04 SRX is I don't think it's you don't have a bunch of a choice Um on what you run in those there's no selection There's nothing unless I am I'm missing something like you can change out parts to To put a different, you know inserts or gears into the transfer case I don't know on my channel. I did a review Rebuilding an 04 Cadillac SRX transfer case and I just put all the stock parts and everything back into it It's an all-time all-wheel drive transfer case. There's no selection or anything to it The one funny thing I did learn about the SRX is it's got different sized tires in the front in the back I didn't realize that I never changed them and It came with the same size tires on the front the back. It's uh got different stuff Look at the John Deere line. So I looked at Kubota. I looked at those uh, I also have been and those are just Kind of crazy price. I don't think I want to go with a Kubota. I don't feel like spending That much money. I if I was getting all the attachments and everything I wanted for it along with the tractor They quoted me like 45 50 grand and I just I don't want to be that deep into a tractor quite yet No, so I'm kind of looking at the Two series bobcats the 20 35s or the 20 40s or 25 40s. I'm like that Like 35 40 horse bobcats with midline tractor Also looking at the two or the three series and John Deere Want to kind of look into those? You know Yes, that's what I really want. I I want to be able to find somebody local that has this stuff But again, the hard thing that I'm running into around here is people that have stuff in stock They have very little if any inventory at all period And then their parts department even for normal regular things Dude, it's I don't know how they do business. They they have a worse off parts and service situation than automotive dealers. It's kind of crazy 2020 ram 1500 anything I can do with preventative maintenance to keep it going long as possible Uh, is it a 5 7? I'm just wondering on that one um I'm pretty sure you said it was From what I remember As far as the gas motor ones they just There's not a whole lot of extra stuff you can do now if you were talking about the diesels There there's a whole lot of little maintenance stuff that I could give you that would have more longevity on things Uh, the biggest thing is I don't see people doing their diff and transfer case services On the 1500s, especially the guys who are using them for like hunting trucks We're they're doing a bunch of little or midline towing with them. So they're not doing their diff services like they're supposed to um Make sure you you keep up on the diff and transfer case services I don't really see any failures as far as the front end or the transfer cases usually but rear diffs Uh guys who aren't servicing them correctly. We'll see leaks pinion leaks and pinion bearing failure on those here and there As far as fuel goes I run a fuel additive every once in a while just to kind of clean through the system just because Today's fuel from all of whatever gas stations are all shit from here here and there So doesn't hurt to run a little bit of uh, like a lucas additive every couple of tanks or something like that And then only other recommendation is how you're driving the hemi's if you're just driving them Putting them around per se like for instance When I drive to work, I only have like a two mile tribe to work So it's hardly even enough time for a vehicle to warm up So I need to start my car to allow the warm up to operating temperature So you can get a lot of the moisture kind of burnt off from those they Like to have a lot of moisture in the top end Of the hemi's and if you don't run them warm enough long enough You get a bunch of that moisture content that gummy oil build up on in on the inside of the oil cap You don't want all that sitting in the top of your valve covers and your intake and everything So just make sure you're running it long enough for it to warm up You can get attachments from some offshore companies that are most cheaper Yeah, yeah, there was a couple of good attachment things in places Here locally, but again, I was trying to kind of keep everything to the manufacturer As much as I could but you know, just that's just because I I'm not as knowledgeable and want to be able to have some kind of warranty with it Um You said the carrier can be internal gear you flipped backwards Have more tire options I didn't know not know the internal gear could be flipped on those With the grooves around this fly inside this will cause wrong torques flip of 60 40 Uh mark, I have no clue about that one at all and I would not recommend Uh doing that too much just because I would be scared of messing something up Uh internally on that one and honestly the the split on that one I would be I would think that it would tear more things up being on more drive pavement if you do a whole lot of You know, like the tires are slipping. Maybe you got a whole lot of snow driving. I could see some more of that, but I don't know. I personally It wouldn't be worth it messing with it because I never have and I've not seen it done Why do some car makers put two thermostats on an engine? Oh, that's actually a pretty good Question, man So a lot of them are because of efficiency. So for instance the world engines Which were used between chrysler hunday and one other manufacturer The two liter and the 2.4 liter tire shark engines that they had they run multiple thermostats And that's because they want to be able to have different rates of coolant Flow and coolant temperature at different places of the engine So they'll run a thermostat that is specifically for like the block heating system And they'll run a different thermostat for the cylinder head because they want the cylinder head Itself to run at a cooler temperature than they want the block and the rest of the heating system to be able to heat up to So they want that one to have more flow through it More often keeping the cylinder head as cool as absolutely possible So they don't have head gasket issues valves that would come up or anything So they they run a lower temperature thermostat in one of them as compared to the other one Just so they can keep that section the engine cooler than the other sections 35 minute drive to work Uh, hey, you're doing good then you drive in it like you need to And clearing all that crap out of it. There's nothing wrong that you're doing That's exactly what I would recommend to do. Don't put that thing around and don't drive it for real short distances Because that's the worst thing you can do with those I would get the snow blower and mowers and those from the manufacturer But things like the stump grinders and blades Yeah, uh, so the stump grinders I was looking at a couple of them Uh, there was a company that started the v like balmer or something like that It was like three grand for one of the those three points, uh stump grinders that had the articulation that you can move it back and forth ran the big auger Disc on it that would be able to cut and mow down like 20 or 30 inch stumps Which is you know, I've got some big trees with some big stumps that need cut down and and moved I'm just moving in here. There's probably 15 to 20 stumps here on the property that are in you know, just shit places that need taking care of and Uh, at the cost that some of the local places want they want three to four hundred dollars Per good size stump to take it out. Which is kind of crazy to me. I like that That's pretty high like I can rent stump grinders for less than that Or like I said, I get end up getting this tractor then I might as well get the attachment and do it myself Again, I went in here. What's up, buddy? I haven't seen you in a while Of course, I haven't seen much of anybody in a while. I haven't seen much of myself around here in a while But again, we're having a good time getting back into the rolling into things Um, are you running a stock g80 in my lbz? So I run the stock differentials. Yes in in the lbz right now I'm talking about upgrading gears. Um, excuse me. I'm looking at uh, going to Maybe some four tens and upgrading to the 30 or 38 spline axles um working with mark up at kodiak truck and seeing kind of what Might be looking at some different kind of options for the axles on the truck going into this year However, the first thing that I'm going to have to do and take care of is the transmission So It was Uneventful as I'll get out You know, I did the whole Tuning and did the whole dyno video where I put the thing on the dyno Did like 750 800 horsepower on the dyno. It freaking did awesome I never really had any issue with the transmission or anything And then all of a sudden within the last couple weeks I went to for a drive across town to go pick up a hood for this POS little Hyundai that I bought for flipping and All of a sudden I just started having a really Weird huge flair shift in third and fifth gear And then after I drive it for a while, I will also lose reverse So my god crap. So I looked up the what's on win Chart and the flow chart for the transmission. It looks like it's the The c3 clutch pack is what's engaged in third fifth and reverse. So I'm thinking either Mark thinks either blew out a piston piston seal or the C3 clutch is just gone on it so Bad luck and bad timing on that one. So we are going to be doing a transmission Upgrade removal rebuild video for the big old Duramax I'm going to be upgrading to a couple of billet parts and going through it in detail On what fails and why on those Allison transmissions. I think it's going to be a pretty awesome video But I'm going to have to Wrangle up some parts and look into Getting it up there to him because we also want to hot flush the cooler Put it on his dino and check how everything works and all so Uh, that video is probably going to happen the first week or the second week of february So looking at the fun stuff for that one 13 lml Should I get a lift pump? What size? Uh, brandon, I Love to put lift bumps on even those Uh, you're saving yourself a whole bunch of headaches and putting in more filtration I always recommend air dog Um, not a sponsor or anything like that. I've purchased all of mine And I had nothing but amazing results out of air dog lift pumps Now it just depends on what kind of stuff you're doing if you have a stock truck up through running like 40 over injectors the rest of this the fuel system stock you're not going bigger turbo or really big turbo Maybe a little bit bigger Stay with the uh, the 95 gallon per hour systems on those they work Really well Don't go any higher than that now if you're doing something crazy Uh, a little bit crazier at least like I am doing on mine. I've got compound turbos Running about 60 pounds of boost And a dual stock fueler system. I run the 165 4g from air dog and that's That's a lot of fuel it pumps a whole bunch of fuel and it does a good job at it. I definitely recommend those I should get the 18 inch wheels from my srx Sells them for 30 bucks each. So that's not too bad at all Yeah, that's not too bad So you're brandon you're just running 35 inch tires I mean if you're not going anything crazier on the fuel system or anything like that Now don't go anything bigger than the 95 gallon per hour Yeah, the 17 wheels have no match tires that options. Yeah, they're they're different size. I think it runs Uh, two 35s in the front and two 55s in the rear Which I didn't know that I just assumed when I bought the thing that it had the correct tires on it and I was wrong. So I've got to swap some of those out here soon This year's plans for the ram 2 inch lift ko2 tires oil catch can intake manifold cat-back brush guard wrappers line bed Yeah, and step bars So all are pretty cool Uh, the ko2 tires are pretty darn good They're a little bit noisier than I like to see out of some tires That's just a personal opinion. I've we run a bunch of wranglers in some of the 2,500 ram builds that we have seen run the ko2 tires the bsgs and They're noisier than I thought they would be They grip like no other So if you're taking that thing off-road and up to you know hunting and fishing and stuff like that They grip like a mother you you wouldn't believe how well they grip for what they do and what they are You wouldn't think that but they do that's why Um, a lot of pulling trucks Use those bfge ko2s They they grip like nothing else in the dirt in the mud Now if you're doing more often just On-road driving and maybe seeing five percent Or so off-road here and there Quieter tire a hybrid tire is going to be like your nitto ridge grapplers That's actually what I've run on the duramax there for the last three and a half years And you keep those things aligned, right? They are much more forgiving and they're much quieter tires too The other the only downside is to both the ko2s and The ridge grapplers, especially right now is finding them. They are Hard to find tires people getting all these stimulus checks and everything Everybody's buying the rims on our tires Getting their trucks all hopped up ready to go So that's that's a big thing that everybody's doing right now so Yep, kind of kind of hard to find there But if you can the nitto ridge grapplers and nitto also just came out with a new one Recon grapplers. Yes Nitto recon grapplers. That's another really good hybrid style tire That performs very well and is quiet for that one Oh McBake is pumped So I'm gonna let the cat out of the bag. Oh, McBake is coming back to the dealership We're gonna come back with a good old boy is working on some dodges Gonna have a good time with him in the shop. I'm looking forward to it I was looking for your tires. I couldn't buy the 18-inch wheels to get matched so tires Those Michelin cross climates are pretty good. I had put those my mom's got a Had an all-wheel drive 300 and I put something like that on those And they're awesome. They were great for they're quiet and last forever That was really good Just picked up a new roll card today. Ooh, nice Would you get McBake? What kind of what kind of roll cards you picked up? Huh? Would you get would you get? That is another thing that I am probably going to be doing here in the next couple weeks is doing two different roll card videos so I'm wanting to do a I won't say the one because the one's kind of a special little video Slash possibly a boy thing, but I wanted to do a A specific dyad cart Uh, hey, there's nothing wrong with those us general ones. Do they they work? Especially you actually found one of the five drill ones. They've been hard to find for some people from what I heard But I wanted to do a specific dyad cart So I've been doing a lot of dyad lately. Uh, I've been you can use in the new mo par Kind of the frosting picot scope Pico and mo par went together for mo par special tool version of picot scoop scope So I've been using that a bunch lately and dragging all the stuff around everywhere Um, you know, I've been using meter stuff and leads and specialty pinout things these newer Um, jeeps and the wagon ears the grand wagon users having so many issues with electrical and arena craft that I'm diving in and out of these and pro masters and these stupid new conversion vans So I'm needing a cart that is just for electrical and dyad stuff So I'm wanting to set up a specific dyad cart here in the next couple of weeks Where I get like, uh, my own remote battery system on it for power Inverter to be able to run a monitor and a couple things where you just roll it where I want to where I need to And be able to have it run for at least a couple of hours and just Roll it back into my corner and plug it in at the end of the day You wanted the white one, uh Yeah, but your box is black You still got the same, uh the husky box that you had before Don't match real good with that one. Don't go great with it Yeah, don't go fantastic Are you familiar with the 2014 of grand Cherokee three liter diesel? I don't wish I was I I have been I don't want to be and I Always steer people away from those as much as humanly possible Um, if you're talking about anything after market deleting, uh, the diesel dpf system I had no clue never mess with anything like that. I've only ever done warranty and crap dealership stuff with those and that is We're gonna say plentiful work Because they are just Junk They suck They're expensive. There's no parts that are available They have cylinder head issues. They have block issues. They have egr cooler issues the dpf issues. They have um The injector nozzle issues They got a lot they got a lot of problems They aren't worth any a bit of money I would rather see anyone else buy it just a regular 3.6 liter grand Cherokee Just go buy all brand new boxes and have them all match Be a happy place. It's just money. That's that's it. It's just money I know trust me I I haven't done much of any videos or anything since going back to the dealership At the dealership in the way of tools and toolboxes one because I got this place now that I'm able to do all my Shooting videos here. No half litter at the dealership, but also because I Don't like the toolbox that I currently have You know, I ended up getting an sp1 When I worked for sp there and I had I sold my giant snap on epic series one One for the part of the down payment on this place Which was well worth it. I would do it again in a heartbeat, but boy, I miss That epic series box. I miss a lot Is it really a Jeep? It runs? I guess not Yeah, I guess not those those ego diesels are just such a pain in the butt df issues Bunch of that a bunch of wiring issues too. Uh, they had a bunch of wiring issues run back the The df pump System had a bunch of electrical issues to it I put a couple of harnesses and fixed harnesses that run From the middle of the Jeep all the way back They were obtained in the butt They just have nothing but bad nightmares from eco diesels, but the trucks and the grand chair keys Yeah, coolant leaks under the intake EGR cooler leaks aren't just up A pain in the butt It sucks Sucks big time see chiefs and groups so you get to the broke one hole either by By force because somebody decided to do something that jeep stuff should be able to do What is de for a diesel exhaust fluid? It's a urea combination fluid that you have to put Anything 2012 I think and newer Runs de f on the no part world of stuff the six sevens even went over to running De f another three liter that stuff it takes de f on a lot of the newer things um They do have to have that one to have a small I think it's a five gallon De f tank in the rear I think they might have had an eight gallon option But the standard they're going to five gallon de f tank and They just have a lot of issues one de f around here People like to buy a bulk and de f does have a shelf life You can only keep it around for so long you have to use it in so much time they have to Use it before it goes out and it just is messy And it chunks up the de f injector nozzles way too easily Yeah more pain Cheap stuff chiefs cannot do including driving on the paper Sounds like he's got a thing against cheaps you might say that I I do not own any any jeeps anymore. I used to own some older grand Cherokees Yeah, that is for the 14 plus Jeep grand Cherokee three liters. They they do run de f I used to own a couple of grand Cherokees back I owned a Oh two green four liter grand Cherokee and I owned an oh four four seven Grand Cherokee was one of those maroon Um overland editions that wasn't pretty badass cheap It was pretty nice the rockers They totally rusted and gave out They work pretty good, but I've never owned any Wranglers or anything else weird like that I don't like the Wranglers and how they sit and the the leg room for the taller drivers Not a thing for me the funny thing though is The resale value and how much these stupid Jeep Wranglers are bringing these days For instance, we've just got this 1999 It's 21 year old Jeep 1999 20 no, I can't even math today So almost a 23 year old Jeep in 2022 Um This thing had 150 or 160,000 miles on it Four cylinder not the inline six four cylinder automatic Jeep Wrangler from 99 And it has shit body. It's just rusted out fenders are rusted Everything underneath has fallen apart if it had Fluid in it it all leaves Transmission is leaking everywhere slips all the time Valve covers front cover oil pans rusted during leaking Diff pinion seals axle seals Everything leaks on the thing everything And they kind of trade it in and they have it listed on a lot for over $9,000 nine grand For a leaky ass rusted Jeep Wrangler Four cylinder automatic from 99 I don't know who's smoking what and thinking they can get this kind of money, but people are paying it I don't get that if you guys are looking For vehicles that are used right now and you think jeeps are cool in there the way to go Don't overpay like that. Just don't Don't make these dealerships and Different places make themselves feel better about having crazy jeep things sitting on a lot and overpaying for this crap You don't want them that bad. Trust me. You don't don't ever think that you do I had a 78 cj-5 anything without red headlights round headlights is not a jeep My mom had a cj-5 long time ago it was like A tan off-white color Pretty crazy. It was a nice little jeep. She had those when I was way younger though Michigan have an o3 gmc 309,000 miles. Hey, yeah, buddy Yeah, you need to pay a shrink if you're willing to spend over $9,000 for four cylinder automatic jeep from 99 In any condition let alone a rusted leaking and hardly running Just no Oh, the the exhaust man or the intake manifold was cracked on it too had a massive Vacuum leak on it massive vacuum leak brakes were junk needed ball joints Is It's a piece man. It was really a piece and the funny thing was I went up to um the manager And I said hey I'll give you $400 for it 400 bucks so I can go beat the crap out of it until it dies on my property And then I'm going to shoot it with a whole bunch of rounds Put a whole bunch of holes into it Just leave it where it lays And blow it up. That's what I want to do with it It wouldn't do it because They think that they even with all those issues they can take it back to some auction And get over four or five thousand dollars You know not to mention the first they thought they could get nine grand for it But now they think they can get four or five grand for it at auction I just I don't get it. I really don't understand stuff I really wanted the three liter for its gas mileage and range, but now if you know But I'm not so sure incredibly advanced level repair Really want that chief those two reasons for mileage and range So The other thing to be honest The 3.6 liters in those And now granted the 2012 through 14s They had some cylinder head issues in the 3.6 liters And they also have an extended warranty for those cylinder head issues But those 3.6 liters get pretty darn good gas mileage Maybe not quite as good as the diesel But good enough to Mathematically challenge it Uh in the way of how much diesel costs compared to what regular gasoline costs You're not going to be saving a whole lot of any money In the way of going to the diesel Especially when you're talking about the maintenance upkeep The fuel filters on those things are pretty stupid expensive too for what they are They kind of suck to get to back in there and they're just Again, when you deal with diesels you got to do diesel stuff You have to be able to use the thing you have to run it for long enough And you have to be able to get it warm enough Uh for a long enough time for it to allow it to go into regen Yes, because of all of this stupid exhaust and emissions these things have to go into regen mode To be able to burn down the soot Really soot in the diesel particular filter has to be able to Run through a regen to burn down into smaller particles and ash Um, it's pain you have to be able to drive it down the interstate for more than 35 to 40 minutes at a time for it to go into regen Or you have to have a scan tool that you can manually put it into regen if you're just doing put put around driving Just keep that in mind too. That's why I don't recommend the diesel ones for people who are Doing that kind of stuff and who aren't doing a lot of highway driving Any charisma product is good for learning diagnosis. They do break often Uh, yes, they are but so is literally everything else nowadays. Uh, I think I have seen the biggest rash of Hyundai's lately Hyundai like the 2019 and up Tucson's We had a rash of oaths coming through traded in and stuff people were beyond frustrated with them. We had a 2019 Tucson that had a transmission shift issue uh, granted the thing had like we'll say like 25,000 miles on it and had a check engine light Powered input to the shift solenoids or something like that issue and the thing happened that little mileage We didn't even look into it because we're like that. It's under warranty. Go take it to Hyundai Took it to them. They found a connector on the top of the transmission that had a ripped seal From intrusion on top of the transmission In this Hyundai Tucson that some little old 70 year old lady bought And then traded in at our dealership Because she wanted a 300 that was lower to the ground and easier to get into And The the Hyundai dealership denied the warranty would not do the work because they found This seal going into the top of the transmission was torn on a connector and it It's green corrosion horrible going into the main connector on top on top of the trans of this Tucson and Hyundai for some reason does not produce or manufacture Pigtail repair harnesses For their stuff either. I'm like wait You guys got this big bad ass warranty on these Hyundai's And you are going to cover this stuff And you don't produce even pigtail repair harness parts What is this mickey mouse operation that you guys go and have going on your people complain about Chrysler Being horrible about warranty work. No Hyundai is a joke and a half They said oh, it's got the best warranty in the business. They can write down this 10 year whatever freaking warranty All they want to but until they actually cover your shit and get it done And worth jack squat on paper Nothing at all So needless to say now I've got to go through junkyards or of course I'm going to have to go through a bunch of junkyards to try to find this Harness connector to be able to repair it because I don't have any pins that match for that specific connector to go into it Uh, it goes into the valve body connector that's on the top of the transmission For the internal harness So they're trying to find one of those because through Hyundai all you can get is a main engine harness $3,400 $3,400 or freaking engine valence It's just a joke Hyundai's are a joke. That's all I have to say Need a little lower truck with stouter running gear. I like a short bed Fifth wheel any experience you okay thinking of a side wonder pitch or similar I mean if you're looking for having any kind of fifth wheel or anything like that um Going to pull a 44 foot fifth wheel toy hauler A 44 foot is pretty big trailer. Especially is is that what I'm imagining? It's either a really heavy duty twin axle or a or a three axle um, if you're running a three axle trailer You should be up in the duly range and any amount of salesman is going to tell you Oh, no, your 2,500 can't handle that your 2,500 has the towing glass. They can pull that no problem. Yes They have the power to be able to pull it But do they have the suspension to handle crazy jails? And do they have the braking system and transmission system to be able to handle the stopping and slowing down and the hills Issued for that one. I don't want to fight somebody with the balls, but a fifth wheel in the jeep. No, you don't Uh, yeah You you need a 3,500 you really do especially a 44 foot. Uh, you're probably talking about a 20 21,000 pound Uh capacity trailer right there fifth wheel Yeah, you You need to safely get into a 3,500 I looked into getting a fifth wheel like that even pulling behind this big bestie And i'm letting you know that after pulling a 24 foot trailer With a side-by-side and all of our camping gear and everything the brakes on this truck right here Are not enough No, you have to have some crazy good brakes on the trailer Especially going through the mountains In the eastern part of the united states This this truck does not have a good enough brakes for that Scary as shit to do through the mountains Not good I was going to go to a one-time hoping for a short bed So the other thing that you can uh look into That a lot of the guys are trying to find which is kind of a holy grail truck right now is a 1415 16 Ram 3500 mega cab if you get a 3500 duly mega cab It's the shortest bed that you can have For having a duly to run a fifth wheel on That they run, I think it's six and a quarter Bed or a six foot bed With that with that duly and you have a mega cab I don't know if you have a family or anything that you got to take and let crap with you But that's got the shortest bed for a 3500 that you can get Is when you get the mega cab option I was leaning about the regen aspect diesel thing that would probably be the issue with final three there I hope would be like to manually clean it out. So mark you can't manually clean out a diesel particulate filter You have to run it through a regen and everything for that and You can't really clean out the dpf Does not work so great like that Yeah, there's a lot of Mountain roads that use that Yeah, I would I would definitely tell you if you're running that mega trailer You you have to run a one ton To be able to safely do it with the braking and suspension suspension system Definitely want to run a 3500 for that It sucks doing regens. So funny thing is I actually do quite a few regent Manual regents for a couple of guys locally here that's just because they have horse farms and They run these horses from the farm To auctions or to events here locally. So they have to have these diesel 3500s to run these trucks and trailers and stuff to be able to pull them enough But they're not pulling these horses down the interstate. They're just pulling them 10 15 miles most like maximum Or on the property back and forth So look at these newer trucks that they're pulling these big loads with and they're not running them at high enough speeds long enough And they don't hardly ever go into regen I've got this guy that literally brings his 3500 truck in like four times a year for me to do Uh, fuel service do fuel filters and to do a manual regen on it Because he never gets it up to temp or up enough Driving on the interstate for it to go into regen enough to bring the diesel particular filter down to below like eight or 10 percent so That's one of the things you got to keep in mind when you're doing that kind of driving Really like the new gmc and the at4. Those are nice. Like they they are very Sexy looking trucks to me My old boss there at sp. I actually had one and I think it was a 2020 at4 This is a sexy truck. You have to say My o4 calik has a three six We're learning a lot on that motor. How do you do it male region? So the three six is a gas engine on the srx Um, if you're asking about how you do a manual regen on a diesel Uh, like three liter diesel you know, it's just a scan tool You have to have a scan tool that has the availability to do that function and most scan tools do not you have to get up into the higher midline scan tools to a Uh, okay two different things you're saying or up into like a bi-directional scan tool That is able to manually put the vehicle into regen mode to run a regen Uh, yeah, it's just a scan tool function that you have to have and do you Now when you do a manual regen on those Uh, the exhaust system gets so hot Uh, so if you don't know what a regen actually does When you're usually will only go to regen mode when you're going more than 60 miles an hour done the interstate for more than 20 minutes At that point it will go into regen mode to be able to burn that soot down to ash particles Which are a lot smarter smaller particles in the actual dpf It needs to burn that stuff the soot particles down So how it does that one is the fuel injectors in the motor will run an extra spurt of fuel on the exhaust stroke That will put raw diesel fuel into the exhaust And usually we'll run through the sc r or the The doc the doc catalyst Which is like a precat kind of thing that gets that one super hot And that diesel fuel will actually ignite in the exhaust and work like a really big flame thrower and just Burn the shit out of The stuff inside the diesel particular filters Now when it goes into regen mode this exhaust gets upward of like 1500 1600 degrees Super hot like I said flame thrower into the front half of the exhaust when you look underneath them You'll see the exhaust and it will literally be glowing red hot way hot So when you do that you have to Have it parked in an area that you don't Care what's underneath of it. You don't want anything to be igniting On the trucks you have to lower the spare tire down because it goes a little bit too close to the exhaust on some of the trucks and it will actually get the exhaust so hot that it will melt part of the The spare tire on the truck. So you have to lower the spare tire moving out of the way when you do a manual regen Just because it gets so hot So there's a couple of things you have to do there for running a manual regen Yeah, you're going to be spending at least 600 bucks for a scan tool to do that kind of stuff Where's autotel 2pms sensors? Yeah, the autotel one only works with autosensors We'll only do that. So if that's one of the things you're looking at It's like burning the cat converters or race mixture. Yes kind of the same thing is Where the diesel particulate filter has to be there to catch all these soot particles Where the to be able to pass diesel emissions, but soot particles are really big They're like big snowflake particles of shitty carbon in the exhaust And when you burn those things down with over 1500 degree exhaust it burns them down into ash particles, which is about of 20th of the size and Helps to burn that down in the dbf I've been pulling you to see a five axle plane wrecker That's pretty cool. That's huge exhaust gas wrap They could see in the plane right exhaust Or it's fired from the cover camping I've seen a jeep where guys went camping or guys went out and did a bunch of jeep and then parked this jeep on top of A bed of leaves. Yeah, I think burnt to the ground No problem mark I like how you explain it when a customer asks me what the df does like It injects into the str and science happens and lowers the NOx emissions that exits the tailpipe That's a that's a good way to put it for some people. I mean Usually I like to see the customer's face when I started to explain some of these things on how Whatever may work on their car, especially when you get into talking about how In diesel exhaust systems work You've got the doc which pre-heats that goes in the dpf. It goes into your str They're like, are you just throwing three letter Things out there and just pointing at my exhaust system is that's what's going through there Like no, that's actually what these things are called doing your system Let alone all the other sensors. You've got uh, delta pressure sensors exhaust temperature sensors knock sensors ammonia sensors O2 sensors Yeah, these newer diesels have a ridiculous amount of sensors in them too And you get them all sooty and rusted up from being in the state of Ohio They don't like coming out of the exhaust ever So if you ever ask to do exhaust work, you might as well put the sensors too because they're going to come out We're the dam And let alone the def injectors Which are bolted into the front of the scr catalyst and those 10 millimeter bolts They don't look like bolts after about five years of running here in the rust belt so Sucks you need to take the def injector off and you're like, well You're gonna need a catalytic converter too because you can't get those bolts out Pain in the butt, but I like that one and science Work on semi engines. Yep I just wanted to cab over as a daily driver a 210 military truck I always wanted to just to see one of those at least drive it around just to have that big bad ass military truck That'd be really cool. I also wanted One of the the big duramax ones, um, what were those called? I don't know just had a brain fart The big 5,500 duramax I've seen a bunch of really cool build done builds done on those and those would be really cool to see Df system is the worst thing because the damage it does in the long run. Yes But you have to run it for it to be able to meet, uh, epa radiations kodiak. Yes the kodiaks Those are awesome. I want to see I would love to own a big Lifted crazy kodiak. Yep I know a buddy of mine who also has a channel on here on jc smith trucks He's done a bunch of kodiak trucks and he's got a bunch of really nice really nice low mileage ones. I love to have I just Boy, I can't justify what they want for the cost on some of those things. They're just outrageous Especially for toys. They're having something just to pull something twice a year Yeah So that's the one thing I do like clean air and some of the regulations are good for that Mostly because there's a bunch of dumb people out there That don't know how to do correct tuning and diesel work and everything and they think running Smokes, which is our cool, which is the dumbest thing ever But I digress from that one There's a lot of dumb kids out there that think that a lot of random things are cool and they hopefully they'll learn later on in life But that's what we have some regulations for um, unfortunately a lot of those regulations Uh, because of what they have to be and do on a truck Take the longevity of all the truck and the Drive train and everything way Way down, especially EGR systems EGR systems are the worst things ever in the world for diesel trucks vpf defs Whatever They're filters on the exhaust. That's fine. But at the point when you're running recirculating Exhaust shit air back up into the intake thinking it's going to be a good thing for your engine. Think again That's the worst thing that I've ever seen on diesel trucks is EGRs Seeing someone for One offs. It's amazing. Oh, yeah, those Kodi X are really nice Yep, they are very nice Well guys, we are at one hour and I think I'm gonna hang it up for the day It's been really cool getting back into this talk to you guys. I know I could sit here and talk for a couple of hours at the time um but Yep, we're going to be getting back into some really cool videos Here over the next couple of weeks. I want to do a couple of really Neat little short ones. I want to try to keep the videos a little bit shorter 10 12 minute videos I know some of the videos that I've been doing are over like 20 30 minutes and people are just I don't want to see that kind of crap for that long But then again, you know, some of the people like that kind of stuff. So Leave some comments or whatever on what kind of videos do you guys want to see? If you like seeing more of the technician the how-to videos the knowledge like we just talked about today Or if you like seeing the tool stuff seeing the newest ladies greatest in my opinions on some of the tool things I switched down a bunch of the electric tools In my arsenal at the dealership over the last couple of months I actually switched over to that yellow brand. I know The salt master would would like to hear me say that one. So I did I I switched a lot of my tools and I got a bunch of the wall stuff So that uh, that's going to be a video coming up here soon. Hey, what's up, buddy? So yep, I'm going to be doing my own review stuff on some of the the wall things As well as the comparison to some of the Milwaukee stuff I've got a video that I've got to do on some heated winter wear I'm going to be doing some review on some of the Milwaukee and snap on Heated jackets heated hoodies You know the battery-powered hoodie stuff like that So we're going to be doing some of that one Pretty rest of the week. Yeah, thanks, man. I appreciate it. I like tools too All the good brands are good just depends on what you live for access and warranty. That is very sure What you think works best and who has it available in your area Is a is a big deal on that one But I really want to be able to get back into doing these live streams at least once a week For you guys and I know some of the other guys do it. Um, uh, other random days heavy wrench does it on Saturdays Um, uh, sometimes Justin does his on Um Fridays or Sundays, so I kind of like this sunday thing gets me Some time and some, you know midday sunday stuff, especially if you're in the wintertime But I don't have a whole lot of uh, you know taking care of this trees and crap or doing crap on the barn everything so I like doing the sunday stuff So I'm going to keep on doing that one. Hopefully over the next couple of weeks Maybe seeing some shorter live streams after work after 4 30 on some of the weekdays depends on what I get out and get doing I want to be able to keep up on this stuff And I really want 2022 to be a really cool year for a bunch of new things coming out So I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully you guys will as well Leave some comments in down below if there's anything you want to see or you can get a hold of me by email TheRusbellMechanic at gmail.com. I will put it into the chat right now You can email me anytime with that one note space. It's just TheRusbellMechanic at gmail.com Or you can go over to instagram rusbellmechanic over on instagram and you can insta message me DM me anytime I try to get to as many of those as I can when I can Answering any of your questions, whether it be technician related questions or Hey, I think this would be a really cool video to do and I'll put my two cents into it. I like doing that one for you guys Well guys, we have a good one. I appreciate everybody for coming in today hopefully everyone has a good rest of their weekend and Start off the new year in a good way Make 2022 One hell of a bitch and good year. All right. Well, we will see you guys later. You guys take it easy. Stay awesome
