1.9L TDI Diesel 1 Ton Dakota Is Back! Break In Tow Testing 10K LBS!
The TDI Dakota is back on the road, working out some issues from ways I redid things but nothing major and its putting in work just like before. the new gtc1549 makes boost so fast it is much easier to get the truck going and make it much more pleasurable to drive around town and slower speeds where the gtd2056 was slower to make boost and added much more lag. I am not seeing much of a change at all in EGTs and 180 HP is plenty to move around with like a regular v8 would have. The little engine does struggle moving this big rig around especially towing, but as long as I take it easy it just continues to get the job done. The best part is even when it does let me down, its so easy to work ...

Making A Standalone TDI Wiring Harness for PD EDC16 ECUs, Including BEW,BRM,BHW
Throw out of there that garbage turbo, how could gou think it's ok to run an gtc 15 (!!!!) on a truck? that pd 1.9 tdi running on proper camshaft could do easily 5500rpm and could make use of (at least) a 22-23 turbo (gtb2260 /gtb23). That gtc1549 should NOT be run at 2bars (30psi) and it's waaay to restrictive on exhaust side... even if you ask just fir shitty power numbers. We builded here arl/awx/axr pushing 300-420bhp without nos, diesel only. Torque was about 600-880nm with full boost at 3500rpm.
Lol I understand, the problem is we need boost at 1400 RPM, we really need to to compounds on the truck to see it's full potential. As is though it doesn't see over 3000 rpm or even 25 psi boost that much, it just has to have low end boost to move and my big turbo swaps do not have enough power down low to take off. We hope to add another turbo on top and benefit from the quick spool of the gtc1549 and then dump all exhaust to a much much bigger turbo
I have an 06 Jetta TDI with the BRM also. Will you get a limited slip diff for good handling and so you can actually put the power down when you have it tuned?
It's probably a good idea, not sure how much I will put into this build though, hopefully doing injectors and tune in the next week or 2
Maybe 1 suggestion// use the heater core hose as another radiator??
Well this is an f350 radiator, I really dont think it's the issue, but I need to test lower radiator hose temps to confirm
@@TDISwaps the TDI have a outlet for the heater core I'm saying remove it from the heater core and install a extra radiator..
Whats needed for boost regulation
All computer controlled with the variable vane turbos
@@TDISwaps well i have a disco pump what do i need a blowoff valve
@ktmfour1007 no diesels don't have a butterfly valve to make blow off valves work. You just need a turbo with a boost regulated wastegated, like an he200 or gt2052
@@TDISwaps well that sucks lol that would require a exhaust manifold
@ktmfour1007 ya it's like $400-700 for turbo and manifold. That's why I recommend sticking with electronics. By the time you get the pump and the turbo setup you are 2-3x the cost of just paying me to make you a wiring harness 😬. I mean I get having a doomsday rig, I do have a mechanical pump I picked up, but I'm not worrying about that til the end of the world 😂
Add a spray mist over the intercooler and radiator for hills
I should do that really
@@TDISwaps boost in power too could simultaneously spray methanol😄. I think that also will cool it down
@ktmfour1007 ya guys do all kinds of crazy stuff to cool down 😂
Would there be something gained by going with a 3.0 TDI instead of the 1.9? I would think it might run at lower RPM and cooler over all. Of course the 3.0 is a different animal with other considerations, but I wonder if you’ve looked at the larger V6 TDI. Alternately an older Benz inline 6? **Edited to correct typo**
The problem is there aren't adapters to mate the 3.0 to all the transmissions like the 1.9. That and the tuning/wiring is much much more complicated
This was perfect. Wasn't looking to do valve seals, just an efficient method to compress the valve spring and remove the retainer to swap springs. Thanks Kyle!
Glad to help sir!
I want all the specs and what not from this I’m gonna do it to my jeep!
Ha ha check out my playlist on the Jeep, lots of info there. It's a 2001 VW TDI setup for about 200 HP and 300 TQ
@TDISwaps I'm not sure what brand you are using for thermostat, but make sure its a quality one. I went through two off brand ones that wouldn't fully open till 220° or so. Doing 5th gear pulls 55-70mph on the hwy would send me up to 210° easily and they would hang there for 5 or so minutes after. I put in a name brand thermostat and now It'll only go up a few degrees on a 0-60pull. May not be the issue but something to think about.
Yeah I've had a couple bad ones but under normal driving I'm seeing less than 10° change currently, it's not till I hook up to this trailer and triple the weight that I run into issues.
@@TDISwaps are you self tuned or who do you tune through?
@GlowBugTDI22 I have all Tekmektronics tuning. I couldn't even keep the truck itself cool with Malone tuning. But I have pretty extreme elevation changes around me so I'm working these engines just normal driving.
@@TDISwaps Ok, I was going through your vids and now see the jeep has the decal. Good tuning AFAIK. Ya, malone runs to much advance, and has rough fueling/boost combo's. Nice things about diesels is they can handle the elevation really well. Especially when tuned for it. Going up hill can add a lot of work on a truck like that though lol.
@GlowBugTDI22 yup, they do amazing just moving a 5500lb truck, I'm probably just asking too much to throw a car and trailer on top of that lol
Probably should buy a real truck if you want to tow at all….stability, brakes and power are so much different in a truck made to tow over those little city boy trucks
Actually the 1 ton axles/brakes/10ply tires make this thing very stable towing lol, it's almost identical to a 1 ton standard cab long box really, besides frame strength of course
@@TDISwaps and the frame strength is huge. The difference in towing with my f250 compared to my double wall frame f550 is night and day with the same engine and trans. Towing with an f150 and going to a f250 with the same load and you’ll wonder why anyone would buy a f150 to pull a trailer.
@FarmStrong88 for me it's the fact that this entire truck can be replaced for 1/2 the cost of the engine in my f250 😂
Did you put the 180 degree thermostat in? I put one in on my ALH swapped Willys that is having similar issues. It slowed the heating issue but didn't solve it. We put a new Flexalite flex wave 14" fan that moves 1900 CFM . That helped, but not enough to be comfortable on 95 degree days. It was still hitting 210. So I swapped in a new 4 core radiator for 60's Mustang V8. It's been cooler here lately in the 80's so I don't know what it will do yet. Right now it's maxing out ~195. I have a similar stack in front of the radiator, IC, condenser, trans cooler. The next step is put a pusher fan in front and run them both. The Willys has a very small frontal area that doesn't leave many options. You maybe onto something with the second water pump. Jegs and Summit have them that move ~ 50 gpm that should be plenty since a small block maxes out ~ 65 gpm. I'll measure temps on the radiator to see. Thanks for the great videos! Here's a link to us testing the build: ruclips.net/video/hfzCQJNozBc/видео.htmlsi=wSln4sUB__Z4xtyV
I have the same issues with the 180 thermostat but only when towing I've now tested it at 105° out with AC on and it will not break 200 just the truck itself it's only when I hook a trailer update I think the water pump is lacking
@@TDISwaps I think I figured out the issue. You are correct the water pump is not moving enough water but not because of its capacity. It is not getting water to move. The lower radiator hose delivers cooled water to the engine. The ALH lower hose is plumbed directly to the back of the thermostat. Meaning the thermostat cools down. I measured the temperature of my upper and lower radiator tanks last night with the engine running ~195. The upper tank at the inlet hose was ~120, the lower tank at the outlet hose was 93 ! That means that the thermostat is getting hit with 93 degree water and closing - or - at least remaining barely open. The thermostat can't fully open until it gets to 180. That means the heat from the engine can only travel to the radiator by conduction - not flow - through the top hose which it can't do a very good job of since it only can only move the water in the engine and what little can make its way past the thermostat. I'm new to the TDIs and until I looked up the coolant flow direction it didn't make sense. Every other engine I have messed with has the thermostat on the top of the engine - not this one. We have TOO MUCH radiator. The manufacturers switched to this scheme for emissions to keep the entire engine running as managably hot as possible. They have temp sensors in the (otherwise small) radiators and control the water temp with multiple or variable speed fans to keep the incoming water near the thermostat temperature. ALL the water then flows effectively. That way the system uses ALL the water to maintain the design temperature. Anyway, I don't have time to engineer the ideal radiator so, I ordered an inline thermostat housing today and will install it in the upper hose and remove the thermostat from the stock location. That way when it opens ALL the water will flow and the temperature should stabilize across the entire coolant system. It can't do that now. I'll probably try to go back to 195 thermostat to shorten the warm-up time since the radiator has plenty of capacity. I'll keep you posted.
@tdah8334 let me know how it works!
Did you put a fan behind that intercooler??? What AC system did you use to add AC to the ALH??? My girl want me to add AC to my ALH. I may do "electric" version of AC compressor or.....??? Truck did good . cool vid great info
Thanks for watching! Only fan is on the radiator, AC condenser is between the intercooler and radiator. All AC components are dodge besides the VW compressor still on the engine. Dodge AC hoses are adapted to the VW compressor and dodge drier. There's a video on the AC setup
@@TDISwaps thanks brother
Keep us posted i am having the same issues towing my camper. 8700lbs total weight. Pulling with my alh 4runner. Temps get up to 220 pretty quick if there is a head wind and above 80 outside temps. I was thinking of adding/changing the oil cooler to help. I didnt even think about the water pump but ya its so small. I definitely need more cooling.
Yeah I've seen guys at oil coolers and they don't do a whole lot you just got to keep the coolant down and I'm pretty sure my radiator isn't the issue but I'm going to get multiple sensors on it to verify
@TDISwaps ya I think your right. I've got to do some digging on water pumps now I guess.
@306familyfarm haha ya, open the pocketbook for any good ones 😬
do you need to run the RPM's they high to keep power or is that just because of your gearing?
These are high revving diesels they don't flow enough coolant or air at 2000 RPM to move the kind of weight I'm doing climbing elevation like I am. I actually lose MPG under 2500
That's a hell of a lot of rpm for not a lot of speed
It's a heck of a huge load for an engine almost the size of my Harley's 🤣🤣🤣

Those things are computer controlled though, from what I read it's not straight forward to just flip a switch to turn them on
Hi buddy how are ya?? Wow you got that all together and going quickly. I’m glad it’s running. I’m sure you will figure out the heating issue, can’t wait to see the fix. Thank you for sharing, God bless you and the family!
Thanks man you too! And thanks for watching
Sounds like you got the turbo matched a lot better.
Definitely! Not as much top end but I don't drive it fast anyways
I'd start with a shroud to force all the air from the front grill into the radiator, all that open front end is gonna encourage path of least resistance.
Ya it's probably a start, someday I'd like to build a custom bumper for it
@@TDISwaps at least it looks good while it waits
@Jeromeeb it's got that going for sure!!
I very much enjoy your videos. I just did a video of Putting a hitch on my TDI and doing a Test tow, I wasnt sure about it as I dont know how strong the DSG transmission is. but have been told that the DSG can handle it just fine.
Yes the DAG is much much better than previous transmissions
add some ducting to the front to force the air into your radiator more and that will help a lot, also may want to have some heat vents in the hood to help suck the warm air out and create a low pressure behind the radiator to help it cool off more.
Ya for sure, I have tried a few things including venting the back side of the hood without seeing much difference, but I need to see what temp the coolant is actually coming out of the lower hose at, if it's dropping temp fine that would prove the water pump isn't enough, but it may not be getting enough flow like you are saying
@@TDISwaps also between the radiator, intercooler, a/c coil, and around the fan, if you haven't, already. All the OEMs have been doing this for several years now because of how much it helps. you can mock it up with cardboard, but I would be shocked if you didn't see an improvement. Even if you don't think it's helping that much, it will make sure you don't end up with intermittent issues like a tailwind, and it won't cost much time/money.
@adamlesandrini312 ya there's a lot of improvements to make for sure!
Anything ovek 5klbs really gonna be working hard
@ktmfour1007 ya it honestly does very well at 6-7k just the truck, even a small trailer behind that is fine. But this is just over the limit for towing hot with the AC on
Good stuff ! Cold air intake could help a little.
If you look at the blue filter it's got a hose at the front sucking air from the fender. Intake temps at the engine were only 10-15° hotter than outside temps so it's doing very well that way.
Oh sorry. I see you have cold air intake.
@bobirving6052 no worries haha, I really think the water pump not keeping up is my biggest issue, but this also just might be outside the abilities of a 1900CC go kart engine 😂
Sounds like she needs a better radiator!! Also if that new turbo is an adjustable vgt if u can get it to adjust the veins for more cruising boost your egt’s should go down. Amazing first test!! 7:00 Holy moly nvm your radiator is gigantic😂😂
The radiator is out of an f350 for the 460, I THINK it's not the issue, but it's hard to say, the water pump is so freaking tiny on these things I gotta believe im over working it, but it's hard to say. Yes tuning for vanes has them max closed until almost full boost lol. Just glad it on the road again!
@@TDISwaps I see I see, yeah I do believe your right about the water pump, could be hard for it to flow all the extra fluid, maybe try to squeeze a radiator hose while it’s running and you can feel how much pressure is in the system, if it’s still squishy while running that could mean weak water pump!! But great video as always keep up the great work!!
@ngelemental2274 thanks man! The pressure definitely increases the hotter it gets, but the water pump just barely flows water into the radiator with the cap off and up to temp, where any V8 holding these kind of power numbers you look in the radiator and it's just churning the water through even with no pressure. But I'm also not an engineer 😂
@@TDISwaps hey man look at this work of art you put together here, I’d say your engineer enough😂
@ngelemental2274 ya I suppose, but I'm mostly just winging it out here 😂😂😂
Your vids have put me on to the same setup! I do have a couple questions, first is your not running a coolant overflow? And second, how did you setup your utragauge to show MPH? I use the same gauge but currently have a GPS Speedo for mph
I use the top of the radiator as the "expansion tank" like factory, with the radiator down a couple inches the overflow never blows off. I have a speed sensor to the VW ECU to make cruise work, and that gives the ultra gauge a speed, and it has a correction factor to make the mph dead on.
It's alive!
So happy!
Nice!!!!
It's awesome!
This is awesome, I'd love to do this in my square body. Do you know how the MPGs are?
We are getting about 18-21 mpg, definitely would do better 60-65 mph, over 70 mph the headwinds are hurting it
@@TDISwaps awesome, thank you
@flux_core_fx thanks for watching!
@@TDISwaps subscribed! If i am moving somewhere with 80mph speed limits, do you think it would be a usable daily? An ls might be a competitive option too albeit not as cool
@flux_core_fx 80 mph is a lot of headwind for a square body haha. I'm gonna be getting some video of a square body suburban swap, but we aren't really expecting it to do much over 70, definitely not with AC on. It's getting to be a lot to ask out of such a small engine. The water pump just really can't keep up I think
Hey man. Can you give your insta i have couple of questions i want to ask you
You are a genius and a master. I will now return to my pleb world.

Thanks!
Ive got a 2006 Jetta Tdi my X gave to me after the divorce. I don't know why it wont start yet. Ill try to find out what it is and if it (the engine) is worth saving. If it is worth saving I'll get a diagnostic report from the tech and try to sell it online. I don't wanna have to dump a bunch of money into it bc Im still pumping my savings into the Jeep/fenuegen (ALH) swap. If anybody up there wants an 06 for parts shout bk. Like I said,....I still gotta get diagnostics. I have VCDS but I dont know what the codes mean so Ill print them out and see if the tech will give me a "rough" preview type of diagnostics before I pay to tow it to his shop at $300 tow bills.

Well I managed to pick up a 2001 dodge Dakota (auto) with a 5.9l magnum engine (156k miles). I also managed to pick up a 2001 Auto VW Golf with the ALH with 282k miles. So this diesel swap of mine is just about to kick off here. Had a couple questions. I’ve never sold an engine/transmission before. Any idea how much you think that 5.9L magnum/trans. Combo is worth? Also the auto trans out of the VW was replaced about 80k miles ago. Any idea what it might be worth as well? Trying to recoup some of the cost of these vehicles👍 I also wanted to ask about blow by on the Alh engine. When the vehicle is idling and I pull the oil fill cap and rest it on the oil fill home and it dances and eventually shakes it way off. Seemed a little concerning however this is my first VW. That being said it cold starts amazing. Fires right up with one cycle of the glow plugs without any issues. So I’m wondering if the “blow by” I see is actually something having to do with the vacuum pump being right here off the back of the cam perhaps. Ive read these diesels act differently from say a powerstroke or Cummins.
Really depends on location, I got $1200 for the 5.9 and trans, I have seen a good Jetta auto go for as much as $1200. But those may be high numbers depending on supply and demand
That’s great to know thank you. I know it’s a different market here but that’s a great ball park to start from. Any idea on the “blow by” I’m experiencing?
@ydocproductions5593 you can't measure blow by on a TDI because the vacuum pump is dumping vacuum into the engine so it's always going to be pushing air out. Blow by would be like blowing the dipstick tube out of the holder LOL.
@@TDISwaps That’s great to know thank you! I thought it was a problem LOL there’s a little bit of combustion gasses coming out too, but from what you’ve told me I don’t think it’s an issue. I also looked up your videos of the wiring harness and how to pull one off the vehicle and again, it’s extremely helpful. BTW, Glad you’re getting one step closer to having that Dakota back on the road.👍
I guess it's cool that you're running a TDI in a full size truck but that TDI is barely moving that truck along freeway speeds with an empty truck why the hell would you buy a truck if you're only going to run around empty all the time The idea of having a truck is so that you can load it down you need to do some testing and put a thousand pounds in the bed of the truck and see how that TDI holds up at that point other than that you're just a wanker driving a truck because you think it's cool
Awesome video man. I can’t even count the amount of times I watched this when replacing mine 2 years ago. Unfortunately the car has not ran since. When I tried to start it, it locked up but I was able to reset it by hand and try again, but I’m afraid the timing was off and I may have bent a valve. Any advice on how to get the timing back where it needs to be?
If you can spin the engine to where the harmonic balancer has a TDC mark pointing up at the notch in the timing cover you can then see where the cam is with the valve cover and tandem pump off
@@TDISwaps Oh okay, I didn’t realize there were markings for TDC on the balancer and the timing cover that I could line up. So I can check that, and then turn the cam to tdc like how you describe in the video. Put the timing belt back on and that should be close enough to get it to crank?
@jentryhaley5648 theoretically haha, always always rotate the engine 360° before trying to start it, that will prevent valve damage
@@TDISwaps Well hopefully I can get it reset to where it’s supposed to be I can tell if there are any issues. If not, I’ll make you a good really deal on it haha
@jentryhaley5648 lol I hope you can get it!
Hey man would you consider building a ford ranger tdi swap for a trade? I have a 2012 Audi a3 tdi. I can send you pics and more info if you’d be interested
Unfortunately I don't have the time to do swaps for customers yet, I hope to get to that point in a few years though
Completely understand keep up the work love your content
@ajpunton9821 tha ks for watching man!
I wonder how this would work with a 1.8t.
I have heard of guys swapping them, they make great power with tuning and turbo upgrades, only downside is minimal mpg upgrade over the factory engine.
I like it! Love to see what goes into everything!
It's crazy I never thought I'd be this comfortable messing with these engines
Dang that stinks! WTH?! Maybe the journal can be welded and re-cut on the old head. Thanks for the videos! I used to live in Wheatland
Ha ha nice! Ya I have seen guys over in Europe weld and recut them. At least for now I have plenty of spares so it's not a huge deal but it definitely sucks!
Cool! Thanks for all the Great info. Good video!
Thanks for watching!
Make an alh outboard motor use a foot off of a Stern Drive and cut the top of the 90° gear housing and rotate it 180° so the shaft will be facing the rear instead of the front put a synchronous belt and COG gears on the motor and foot then get an outboard housing and cover everything up so it stays dry
That's an awesome idea!
Probably easier to do an alh inboard
@@AndrewMarsch they have Factory marinized VW
Alh weight?
Just the engine weight? About 320-350 lbs I believe
Boat or jetski
That would be fun!
Thanks for your videos. I have a 2004 VW TDI BEW Manual (wrecked) and a 2002 VW 2.0 Jetta Gas Automatic. Planning to swap the BEW TDI engine into the Jetta Auto and the ECU. Any think else I need to consider, recommendations / links that could help? Anything that that you would not recomend. Does the TDI BEW ECU need to be re-tuned from Manual to Auto? Thank you for your advice in anticipation. Stay safe and looking forward to more videos.
You may want to check gear ratios in that automatic, it's very well maybe completely different than the diesel transmission and have you running 1000 RPM higher on the highway. And yes the ECU and wiring will not match up, adjustments will need to be made there
@@TDISwaps Thanks for the comments. "Gear ratios": Ah! I thought so. Is there a fix and has it got to do with tuning? "ECU and wiring" Since I am putting in the Engine, ECU and wiring from the BEW TDI, will it still be an issue?
@jmindito as long as you swap everything shouldn't be a problem, I would try swap the transmission and everything
@@TDISwaps 👍That's a very practical advice and I was considering that. However, just wanted to continue with the convenience of the automatic for city traffic.
@jmindito yeah as far as I know the gear ratios will make that not really an option
Let's go my jetta just got a hybrid vnt17 216s and shooting for 180whp need a 5spd 4runner donor so bad XD
Definitely!!!
Personally. I would delete the oil cooler (oil heater) Less seals and hoses to go wrong. Deleted mine 13 years ago
I could try it, I currently run pretty warm oil temps in the summer, I have seen as high as 275°F when I'm holding sustained 1300° EGTs, I know the coolant is warming the oil most of the time, but at some point I would think it's got to be keeping the oil from going over 300°
Bro 1.9 tdi has come stock with dual valve springs since 1993😂
I guess I have 3 then 😂
De-Lip your pistons !!!!!
I don't want to lower my compression anymore than necessary, high elevation kills my take off power
where do you get your internal parts from?
Mostly a combination of online stores, Cascade German, IDParts, Kerma just depends on price
Sounds good brother. Im getting closer to testing mine. Ill post up on here and let you know when I do.
That's awesome man! And thanks for watching!
What dimensions are the intercooler you used?
The one in this video is about stock ALH size, 12x10x4 core, much too small once I bumped the power up years later
