I always learn something new from your videos. I bought my first Cummins just shortly before you began making videos and it's been such a help. I come back to these videos a lot before I work on it. Good luck again on the new venture.
Congrats man. I do this type of work on the daily myself at my little shop and watch your videos. It ls a type of motivation man you push through so much and look at you now. Keep ‘em coming bud and best of luck to you and David.
I love that you were detailed. A lot of you tubers are more worried about being funny and joking around, rather than actually showing step by step procedures. I subscribed, hoping for the same videos. Thanks
That's awesome that you are able to do this with a friend! This is not what I was expecting but I think this is better. Praying you and your family are under one roof soon.
I was driving across Utah from cali with my 14 g56 truck watching you head east on your last video thinking okay my 11.5 mpg towing 21k horse trailer wasn't to bad. Glad to see ya closer to where the good stuff happens man I'm about 50 miles east of Indianapolis look forward to running into you at an event sometime!
I dont have a good comment but i did wanna say congratulations again on your new venture. One day ill meet you out there at an event. Not that im anybody or have some crazy built truck, just a little 1000hp compound turbo duramax, but still i enjoy your channel and learning about the cummins platform and you make it so its understandable. Keep grinding and hustling bro.
I remember my 3rd time doing this job and one of the damn tappets fell down into the oil pan lol 😂 . This old timer showed me how to use a torch to heat the cam gear and used a puller, to re install we heated it in an oven. Congrats on the new business!
Never use a torch on the cam gear!!! I have seen 2 of them break and wreck the engine when the valves hit the pistons. I always drilled snd tapped the nose of the cam pulled the gear and then heated it in the oven and pulled it back on with an impact. If everything went good I could do those covers in about 4 hours.
@@bcbloc02 yes it’s dangerous to heat gears ⚠️ . You know those old timers tho that have been doing it for years and haven’t had anything go wrong yet. Admittedly I still heat the gear but not until it’s glowing just to about 400 degrees seems to be the sweet spot, the gear slides of smooth with a puller.
G'day Josh, sick vids and props to you for going out on a limb and doing your own thing. being your own boss is a completely different ball game to being employed, I personally find is refreshing and amazing. oh and ahh more sled pulling vids mate, we don't have that sort of thing here in Australia although I think it's growing in popularity. would love to give it a go some day. Cheers Mitch
If I remember right that is actually a recall on some of the 4th gen trucks. I did one of those when I worked at the dodge dealership, you make it look a little more fun and easier than when I did it
I can already hear the southern accent taking over some words you say haha be careful or you'll end up talking a new language the south has made for themselves haha Jk 😜 haha love the videos, I'm currently battling a rebuilt trans that is starting out in third gear so I can drive it, and for the life of me I can't find whats wrong, I've checked trans pressures and shifter linkage and wire harness. I'm almost out of options and I even tore the trans out and went back through it just in case I missed something but it's perfect, I'm hating life right now hahaha and we don't have a garage st this house we bought, and my other house is over an hour away where I have a nice size shop. Lol if it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all. Lol 😆 😆 😆 love the videos and hope everything works out for you with the new business venture, you work hard and deserve to do great, honestly wish I had a couple buddies like you man, you know your shit when it comes to our cummins trucks, I might not have so much trouble with my trucks then haha 😊 ❤🧡💛
Congratulations on the move. I've been a fan of pdd for awhile and have ordered parts from there. I'm in kingsport so not far from you. I have a 2006 3500 that I'm interested in doing injectors on soon.
When I rebuild my wife’s 5.9 I used a porter power to spread the front fenders out a couple inches an that support comes right out. Just open doors first so u don’t damage jam.
@@horsetorquesdiesel love the channel man . I’ve always fixed my own trucks and helped other but recently started at a shop and hadn’t seen you remove the lower support out the front . You don’t really need to or need a porter power it just makes it a little easier on the 3rd gens I think
@@horsetorquesdiesel I seen it on here (yt) man had a regular bottle jack from under the seat made two arms for it to reach each side and it came right out . Like I said not needed but cool and helps . Keep up the great content. I’m up in NC learning my way around diesels . Hopping to learn a few things from the channel . Might need some help putting a manual valve body in the wife’s truck
Hey man love the channel.. got a question, just did a reverse level on my 2015, could you recommend a track bar to recenter the axle? Or a set of drop shocks, the springs are 2 inch drop springs from coil spring specialties if that helps at all.. thanks for any help
I will say if you reclaim the ac you can unplug your coolers and take the front end off with the coolers all attached to the support and makes the job a lot easier to do imo. Obviously there is more than one way to skin a cat
I'm a cummins mechanic at the dealer I just pull the camshaft out to were it almost touches the radiator you can spin the cover all the way around and clean the gasket and new gasket goes right on save you some time from draining coolant and all
I was planning on trying this also. What’s the plan for the oil pan gasket piece stuck to the case cover? I ain’t trying to pull the pan if no one else does. Can I just clean it and rtv/silicone etc?
Every time I do a repair on my truck if I have to pull unnecessary shit out I look to see if I can upgrade them. I dont know shit about cams, but I know its a part of getting more power. Not sure your thing is just repairs or trying to sell performance parts. Considering your history I would push the performance end.
Man lol believe it or not the dowls are a Cummins repair tool. They now have updated rubber expandable tools that they use but those were strait out of the repair manual from Cummins lol. They work great too.
Man what an adventure good for you that’s a big leap man. How well did you know your partner? What’s the back story. I bet the guys at pdd will miss you much.
Good job. As far as that gasket I can tell you for a fact it’s not a defect. The gasket gets pulled in because of a dirty engine air filter. When the air filter is restricted enough there is a vacuum created on the crankcase through the pcv hose and that’s the weakest spot. The gasket gets sucked in and bobs your uncle. I end up doing at least one or two of these a month at work. Another trick for dowel rods if you don’t wanna use zip ties is clothes pins. Keep up the content. 👍🏻
You might be onto something. I did the same job on a 16 or 18 model a few weeks ago that looked exactly like this. When I pulled the airbox assembly the filter was dirty and box was filled with bird nest debris. The truck had something like 60k on it which seemed like it would pop up sooner if it was an assembly defect. Are you at a dealership?
@@wesleybumgarner5788 I’m a diesel tech at a local ram dealership and that is exactly what happens unfortunately. The Cummins teachers when I went to training is who told me. ever since then i started looking at the engine air filter and it has been 100% the cause every time I get one in the shop. There is no RTV on that gasket so it’s easy for it to get sucked in and it’s always in the same spot.
@@derek8766 Luckily I replaced the air filter/cleaned the airbox and right-stuffed both sides of the gasket going back together. Customer didn't want to take it to the dealership because of previous dealings/issues. Do you replace under warranty even if the air filter is clogged? Thanks for the insight!
@@wesleybumgarner5788 I do a lot of them under warranty and CP. I don’t approve or deny warranty claims I just submit the info and Chrysler makes the decision to approve it or not. Most times as long as the engine air filter doesn’t look like it has sucked up the desert then it usually get approved.
Appreciate you guys sharing this! I've got a 2010 with less than 100k on the odometer with this issue and I'm going to give this method a try. Did y'all have to remove the clamp from the turbo when jacking the engine/transmission up to get enough flex?
How long would you say this would take someone who worked on it with very few breaks in between. What would you charge for something like this at your shop
Do you have any suggestions or does anybody have a suggestion on what kind of degreaser or cleaner to use to clean the aluminum case of the 48re transmission?
spray 9 and pressure was repeatedly until it's clean and then bomb it with cast aluminum spray paint and it will look like new. My 2 relatives are the two main trani guys in my area and the spray paint is pretty much standard to clean up and seal up the aluminum case
Will you have the ability to fire ring heads in your new location? Stationed in Virginia and I have seen your work from day 1 of your RUclips start. Would like to have someone do the head on my 3rd gen that is reputable.
Where are you located? Close to Ohio I’m in the middle of building my truck got about 30k in parts sitting there for my third gen (04.5) and work over the road I’m ready to drop it off because I’m never going to get it done only being home 6weeks a year.
@@horsetorquesdiesel I think it is. It's flashing on the back. Feels like I'm down 100hp or something on level 1 it's real bad. 5 feels like 2 or 3 now. Doesn't roll coal like it used to. Still no codes
Josh, I've been building my 03 Ram 2500, it has 90hp injectors ,studs, push rods, valve springs,and an aftermarket intake, and it's an absolute slug. The truck has 96k miles on it. and has never had any power. Suggestion please, and what's the name of your shop so I can get in someday?
Hey you guys go online and there’s guys that make waste oil heaters out of just told woodstoves you have natural your oil supply you have a tube it’s a bottle 3/4 of an inch to an inch in diameter inside diameter coming into the stove and you’re gonna route that into go to Walmart or some like that and buy a cheap stainless steel pot because that won’t melt and you’re gonna have an air blower blowing air through the tube that three-quarter inch tube and oil comes into the same tube and you want that air to be blowing right into where the oil‘s dripping it’ll burn nice and clean and and Make lots of say next to free heat that way you guys can stop running around with your Hudson anyway it doesn’t take very much just go find an old junk wood stove and make sure it’s in decent shape and put it together all right you have a good day all this is six in a row jim from Kennerdell a Pennsylvania

That license plate is golden!!!
Making a duramax guy work on a Cummins is great!!
Bumper comes off with 4 18mm nuts on each side. No need to align bumper after install. Wont have to lift engine up at all.
The bumper wasn’t the problem
@@horsetorquesdiesel Sorry forgot about the core support. I usually pull it out as one assembly with the headlight buckets
I'm self employed also commercial Refrigeration..its been 16years now it is awesome to work for yourself. Enjoy..
Congrats again man 🤘🏻

Awesome bro!!👍🏼👍🏼…Aloha🤙🏽
Right on brother !
Will yall have stuff for the new trucks? Looking to get some goodies before too long on my 21.
Gasket ? Shoot I use right stuff gray only. You guys need a top side creeper . Your poor backs. .
yeah for sure on the creeper lol
I have one just dug it out of the trailer!
