- No one that I know of makes these seals new, so we have to find an alternative, and we keep it in the Mopar family too. Make sure you like, comment and subscribe!

About to grab a 74" and this was on the list of todo's I put down after checking it out so thank you. Knowledge is power. And sharing is caring.
You are welcome. And 2 years later its holding up perfectly
@@HoosierGarage good to know.
Great music expecting Charlie to send you out on a mission with the girls!.... Nice job on the dog house seal!
great helpful video and I LIKED the music!
After many hours of looking the shot here at 5:16 is one of the best images I have found of an early b200"s interior front end.
Great video Adam! Love the repurposed trunk seal, looks like it worked really well
I have to route two cables into the cab of my van. One for a general power source for lights, head unit, CB Radio, etc. The other to power an amp. for the head unit. There is no room really to pass through the firewall with these two cables which need to be apart from one another. So I was going to notch out at two points my engine cover that it could be lifted out without disturbing the cables. That's my goal at least. But I don't want fumes or any odors coming in nor do I want to create any noise, like possible whistling. I'm hoping that if I cover the notched area with some kind of leak proof tape that I can avoid any issues. But my cover will not be sealed as well as that great job you did. I guess I'll know if it's not sealed enough if I start coughing.
Thanks for letting us see that beautiful power plant on the other side of the Doghouse.
How are the cavities on your wiring bulkhead from engine bay to pass compartment? My van is a bit of a minimalist but has several blank areas that could be notched and run wires through. Just a thought. I have a few running through a hole in firewall with a grommet.
@@HoosierGarage My van is a 2013 GMC 1 Ton Extended. The only area that doesn't have anything attached to the firewall is where the grommet and cable come through that opens the latch to open the hood. And close by that is the steering assembly and some electrical equipment. I'm a little hesitant to start drilling in that vicinity. I'll have to take another serious look at the situation and see if there is a spot that I can go through.
I bought this van new and I was still using my old one that had about two hundred thousand Kilometers on it. Although my new van is now eight years old there is just about 5200 Kilometers on it. I bought it and equipped it with new shelving etc. Not realizing fully that I would be retiring early. I donated my old van to The Kidney Foundation.
I had bought this Double Din Kenwood Head Unit and it has a CD Player. And just before the Corona Virus hit, in late 2019 I traveled to St. Louis Missouri, I live in the north in Ontario Canada and during my trip I bought a Cobra Chrome CB Radio. So I decided to install these in my van. If that does come to be. My Wife and I will be playing CDs and we won't want to leave the van. It will give me an excuse to drive it more often. Even if it's just to the coffee shop.
Awesome sir!!!!
Think you could pull it off with some Amazon door seals for these vans
this is the video ive been waiting to see!!!
Looks great! That was a great idea! I think that engine cover is made out of SMC fiberglass, like the hood scoops were on mopars and also Corvette's from 1972 up, if so when you fix that crack you may need to use the epoxy for SMC repair instead of regular fiberglass resin. Regular fiberglass resin dosen't bond to SMC very well. The SMC resin is pretty common nowadays, alot of the newer truck bedsides are SMC, "Sheet moulded compound", you can look it up on the internet for reparing it. Hopefully it will make for a stronger repair for your engine cover.
This is great to know as I was planning on the traditional method. When I tear into it should I find any markings?
@@HoosierGarage it will probably have part numbers cast into it somewhere, if its SMC it will look a little more chalky were its cracked and the fiberglass strands will be fine textured it will be grey looking material also. I'm pretty sure its probably SMC, every company started using it or plastic in the early 70's.
I did the same exact thing as Adam did in this video. I used a E-body/A-body Mopar trunk gasket and 3M weatherstrip/gasket sealer. The sealer becomes tacky in about 5 minutes and 5 minutes later it held the gasket in place pretty. I bought the gasket off of eBay for $30 shipping included. Just trim off the unneeded gasket you have left over. Your doghouse should set on it and crush it down just fine. Pretty cheap fix for under $50 and keeps any carbon dioxide out of the van too! My van is a 73 model Dodge. 😅
Awesome job
Jumpin' jack flash it's a gas gas gasket!
atlease the seal can keep it from getting wind air inside making too much noise from driving.
You have to ask the dog house for permission. They are sensitive.
Getting close to done! Ready to see the stripes on the side! Great video
Personally I blame squirrels
No doubt
Great Video! I'm wondering if you've run the van yet with that gasket and how it does with the heat generated from the headers, especially on the drivers side? I need to do this too, my original gasket is pretty much shot. Thanks!
This was a few years ago. And i have put maybe 5000 miles on the van. No problem and although naturally warm on the drivers side, its actually done perfect.
@@HoosierGarage Cool. Thank you for the video and info!
Gonna remove the entire body on my b300.
For what? Im confused. They are unibody also
How does the ash tray go on the engine cover? Ive been trying to find videos and havent seen any
Should have a receiver mounted to the dog house wuth a little rod across it. The ashtray slips down over that and pivots off the rod.
hey hi, could you give me the link where I can purchase the same thing for my van b100 77?
One of many....
