MOVE Bumpers for my 2nd Gen Ram
Many improvements are in the works for my 2000 Ram Cummins, but after just completing the Allison transmission swap, I couldn't quite cope with the old bumpers, so here is my upgrade for that. I decided to do the painting of the bare metal myself, so that is shown here as well. I like the results, and perhaps it will assist you with a similar upgrade or for a painting project you are undertaking.

Actually the first use of this old machine to move topsoil off my property deeper into the woods, but it's then wetlands and though my little tractor goes there fine this 15 ton loader sunk 2 ft down and I needed to figure out how to get it out. Worked on it for 2 days, but persistence pays off!
2nd Gen Ram Cummins Allison 6 Speed Transmission Swap from CA Conversions
Просмотров 5 тыс.4 месяца назад
My 2000 2nd Gen Ram diesel is finally getting the transmission it has been craving for over 2 decades. The 47RE has been modified (built) with torque enhancing upgrades that has mostly survived the stresses of racing in past years, but the money flow to keep this going over the long haul is unending. But actually it IS ending with the swapping of a built Allison 1000 6 speed by CA Conversions, ...

Super happy to get the Moritz dump trailer... my very old dump truck does not tilt enough to adequately dump dirt, especially if it's wet. But, I anticipate this unit being useful for LOTs of things, not the least of which is the ongoing hauling of firewood.
Water Line to Shop Pt 2 (2022-2024)
Просмотров 1368 месяцев назад
Part 2 of the 400 ft water line from House to Shop. Punching under the driveway was not successful, so unfortunately the driveway had to be cut. Connected at both ends, installed a utility sink in the current shop. But the MAIN motive is to provide a source of water to the future semi truck shop I plan to build. AND, also a water source for the mini cabin which will be right next to the house.

Double Trailer car rescue!

I sometimes let things go too long... like driving my old car for weeks when it's obvious a wheel bearing is going out. It caught up with me 50 miles from home while pulling my 12 foot trailer behind. So a rescue mission was needed, including 2 trailers in tow! It all worked out...

where's the chain brake? & did the fuel stop leaking out?
You want to sell the transmission pan off the old one I’m having issues with my 48re was thinking about doing a swap like this but maybe in the future I just use my truck for heavy towing
Di Malaysia ada di jual kah?
Still sounds like the old slushbox shifting.
Can you elaborate on that? Not sure what you mean. The shifting feels a lot different from my 47RE, and the TC lockup between 2 and 3 is really nice, especially since it stays locked from then on and all the way down!
5:10 for Alaska that is probably a small pile. Here in Ohio that'd be beyond good. A guy down the road has a wood stack the size of his barn. Big ass barn btw. Rounds just split in half and quarters. Idk whom stacked it I'd assume him but I don't see him. Should go talk to him someday, just 10 or so miles. Got an old dump truck I like
You're doing some young man shit in this video. Keep it up, your backs better than the rest and God loves to see you guys giving it. Made from a better steel you people, better quality control too. My people idk what flavor of shit ima get into. Godbless
What is the brand of that boost gauge? Informative video. Thanks
Why the Allison 1000 versus a 2000 or 2500? Just because it comes with the GM bell housing and tailshaft housing?
Because it has a park pawl and is basically identical to a 2000 series
@@dieselsmoker Yes, CAConversions affirms these other series provide no meaningful benefit over the 1000 series
Can you drive or track with the cutter running?
Surprised this video don't have a ton more views
Appreciate that thought, I don't work super hard to make my channel popular like others do! Hopefully folks that are doing this will find it.
Great video. I have a 12 valve with nowhere near the power youre making. I have been considering this swap, curious if youre still happy with it, any problems. Just looking for an honest non paid for opinion. I love my old truck and just want it to tow a little better
I actually have not used it all that much yet since so busy with other aspects of life, but it's been really great so far overall. However, I am currently having some erratic shift behavior which has been linked to my Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) not producing the correct percent throttle to the transmission which I have verified with my scanner, so I have a new TPS coming soon. When I explained the behavior to KC and Dave at CAConv, the immediate response they had was to check the TPS. Sure enough, it would bounce all over, and often read 53% when my foot was off the pedal to let it downshift naturally. It has downshifted HARD at about 1100 rpm when it sees this value, and only then, so that's not a tranny problem, but my TPS which I have never replaced in 24 years. But more to the point, it is AWESOME to have a 6 speed from the 4 speed. The shifts are firm which I like, and I also love the 2nd OD at 0.61. Great for cruising 75 or 80. The 47RE OD is 0.69, but 4 speeds leaves a lot to be desired. And reverse on the Allison is about 4.4, which half the speed of the 47RE, and I've always noticed reverse is geared way too high. So the gearing on this new tranny is very pleasant to me, and the confidence of its ability to handle the Cummins is truly a great load off my mind! The tap shift feature is also great, you can limit what gear it will get to, and also downshift more aggressively if you want. So yeah, if you love your truck like I love mine, it will endear you to it all the more, and it will definitely tow better and more efficiently.
How much you pay for the transmission?
I'm waiting on a price quote from CAC but I'm expecting it to be in the $12-15k range.
@@RobGADV yes, that is a good estimate, mine was a bit more since I got a billet input and some other clutch enhancements. Not cheap, but when you compare it to having a shop fix your failing stock tranny, it softens the "financial blow" a bit since this thing is a MASSIVE improvement!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That shift knob you used was from a dodge 07-09 3rd gen with 6.7l cummins. Not a chevy
Did the 07-09 trucks include a Tow-Haul button function which this has? They indicate it's from a Chevy (2008 Siverado) but I'm not sure myself
@@AlaskaNostalgia66 yes they had a tow hual button the dodge shift knob is round the chevy shifter knob is flat
Beautiful 24v man, wish I could afford some of those parts tho lol but Beautiful rig man
Can you update us on the transmission?
Check out the @brentjones response I gave below. I'm totally loving it. But I need to replace my TPS (in a couple days) to fix some goofiness it is causing
The video is nice to watch and full of info with some tips and tricks to make it easier. If you wanted to down the road if you ever get tired of that starter placement, you could order the ATS Allison bellhousing to mate up the 68fre adapter plate. Then you can use the upgraded 47/48re flex plate and have the factory starter location. But I'm not sure if you have to have a custom torque converter made though. ATS had their own bellhousing casting done for the Allison so it could mate up to the 68rfe/Aisin engine adapter plate.
Honestly, once you do the starter swap along with the wiring change involved, it would be kind of a pain to switch it back, especially since the CAConv adapter plates etc. are high quality and work well, and once it's done it's solid! I'll admit I was skeptical about the replacement starter, which is physically smaller than the original, but then pleasantly surprised when I found it cranks the engine over faster than ever before!
I like your Michigan 125A Series II. One of my favorites... take good care of it.
Bigger the toy the bigger the fuk ups😂
Can't argue with that!
Hey there! Building a similar size garage, 38x50 with a second story for storage. Do you still like your heater? Trying to decide on what size to get
Yes, I do still like it. But if your building will be insulated, you certainly will not need such a large one. You would be fine with a much smaller unit if insulated.
🙄🙄🙄It's leaking.......By now hopefully somebody told you you should have replaced the rear main seal
Actually you're the first, and I agree, but are you thinking the seal is leaking now? The oil pan is seeping, and I'm assuming the oil there is from that, it doesn't look like the rear main, but I may be wrong...
A little oil loss helps keep the floor pan from rusting out🎉
I saw O40 that's the only reason I'm here.
I'll admit, I wish I would have chosen the 040, but the 033 has been awesome, and adequate! I think about the 057 at times, but harder to transport, and in reality, the smaller machines can do the big jobs!
@@AlaskaNostalgia66 you missed that joke by at least a mile. Check my name.
Great idea I could see using it for backfilling retaing walls as well thanks for posting the video.
Add hot shots secret fuel additive. To your fuel. It will help clean injectors. And lower ash. Going into the Dpf good luck
I can set that unit up with a micro mulcher that will mow material like that with ease. Much easier on the machine as well
Interesting concept... I had not considered a mulcher, but it looks promising. I'll admit, the cutter seems a bit hard on my KX033, and to mulch material would be preferable to just cutting it. I'd be interested to learn more.
Which mulcher?
Quick Hitch
Thanks for sharing the video. Have fun with the loader. When I was a small kid my town had a 1963 125A II that I thought was really cool and modern with so many sharp angles. I remember the Michigan's light yellow paint with dark blue wheels against the snow very well. The spec sheet I have lists its shipping weight as approximately 30,500 lbs. (with 20.5 x 25 tires). If you are interested I have photos of a couple of 125A Series II on Flickr, even an HO model I made. Thanks again.
That's an interesting comment! Funny how memories from childhood influence us in later years. My 125A has those same tires... which are NOT in great shape at this time! Any photos/info you might share would be welcome!
I think waisted time used excavator for brus cutter, Better used mini kubota tractor L1500 more efficient in brush cutter, More faster and better Tractor can made 3 hectare perday... Excavator i think 3 hectar maybe take 5 day or more 😂
On the bright side, the excavator can reach areas that are inaccessible to other machines
Why I don't like using 15 inch bucket for water line. Use 6 inch bucket walls don't fall apart as easy
Perhaps, but in some places the 12 inch trench became over 6 feet wide.
Would it work good on sandy dirt leveling a field?
Good job on this video !!! Best I've on saw on the Rut Brush cutter....
Thanks 👍
Great trailer. I purchased a 12' Moritz from the good folks at Bennett Trailer Sales 2 years ago. I use it for everthing and can't imagine working without it now. I added a Noco battery charger and AC port, tarp and a remote to raise and lower the dump from the truck. Love it.
Nice additions! Yep, it is SO useful
Nice save. The regular lynch pins get stripped off the trenching bucket as fast as you can put them on. I find that moving to a locking lynch pin (offered by John Deere) or even better yet, a bolt with a locknut will keep things together when runningthe narrow bucket. Hope Spectrum was gentle on you for replacing that line!
Yes, I went with a bolt/nut! That solved my ongoing losing pins issue. In the end, Spectrum DID go easy on me, but it took some effort to get there!
Brave of that guy to down in the trench with already risks of collapse.
Yes, the whole ordeal is a bit risky!
😂what are you trying to bury
A water supply from my house to my shop, in vids "Water Line to Shop" if interested!
Need a 1/2" or 3/4" thick sheet of steel that is wider than the tracks and trench to back over - likely 2 large squares to be lifted in walked on lift-place another and walk. Love to spend money - but the city likely has some for city trenching. Maybe a rental place or lease from city.
Yup, that would be nice to have
Super..!
Could have been much worse! You’re lucky to not be hurt!
Next time try backing across the ditch and dig off the side of the machine. Just saying!
Yes, that would provide a wider span, and along with the dozer blade. Good call, I should have done that! Live and learn! But approaching a deep trench from the side like that might still pose a problem... but then also the arm/bucket could help with that. Next time!
lol just buy a $20 harbor freight tire changer!
Haha, point well taken, I have a tendency to make more work for myself at times! But... $20 Harbor Freight changer? I take it you haven't been to the store for awhile, the basic manual changer is $60. Still not bad, but I'm looking to maybe invest in a pneumatic unit, but a bit harder to justify at $2000-ish.
I have 14 of them, make sure you get a good seal along the bottom edge where the air filter seats, you can use a heavy grease or a thin bead of silicone dust and de bris can get under neath And into Your carburetor, but they are great saws take the time to get good at adjusting the carb. Low high and idle lots of times it’s just a hair turn One way or the other to get them running sweat as pie when broken in they will start be than a lawn mower . I know that’s hard to Believe, but they will. !!!
Appreciate the inputs!
what size of gas pipe you run?
3/4 inch. I'm sure 1/2 inch would be adequate, but, well, I prefer too big than too small.
Knew it sounded like a 4 bladed fan. 3 bladed fans have that E note sound
Wow, you know your fans! But it makes sense that each would have a unique sound
You are👺👿
Amazing modine heater
Are you the unit heater devil, waiting to take our souls?
Definitely recommend adding a ballast box on the back of that tractor, that was intense!
Good call, it can get destructive quickly!
SURE DO LIKE MINE
how big is your gas line? 1/2", 3/4" ?
3/4 inch. I'm sure 1/2 inch would be adequate, but, well, I prefer too big than too small.
Can you provide a link where you bought it? I need one for my greenhouse, and this looks perfect!
www.ecomfort.com/Modine-PDP300AE0185/p48541.html This is the unit I got. I paid $1890 for it, it's gone up like everything else! Might be a bit large for your greenhouse, unless you have a BIG greenhouse!
Thanks for the product review!!
Guess you’ve never had a chain break😅
I assume you are referring to my relative lack of safety gear? Funny, I've had "mishaps" here and there, but I can't remember ever having a chain break on my chainsaws, which I've used all my life. Hmmm, wonder if I just jinxed myself
