    As usual JC, nice work. I will say one thing I am glad you decided not to go into a life of crime and strip vehicles for a living, hate to go in the house for dinner and come out and find nothing left of a truck after you came by...lol Like I said about railroad vehicles, usually their dirty and beat up, but boy they arent afraid to spend the money to maintain em, and people are so hesitant to buy them because they look at the body and interior.... they dont look at the important places and the other nice thing is that are expensive to pick up! Good tip about pushing in the connectors and your right some of them get stuck like someone superglued em, but that all the grime and dirt etc that gets accumulated under the hood. Got to love that gradall, every time I see it getting used

    • @j.c.smithprojects
      @j.c.smithprojects  6 лет назад +1

      some people cant see the forest for the trees! they sure spent some cash on this one. rare that i dont need to do anything to an engine before i put it in....thanks railroad!

    • @screamindemon811
      @screamindemon811 6 лет назад

      I think to them it is just iron, use it and then move it out and replace it with the next piece of Iron. I think their expectation when they sell em is there isnt a lot of value in them cause they are usually beat on the body and the interior is filthy so they get what they can for them and good enough. But I agree a lot of value in these trucks if you willing to look past the exterior and interior

      @j.c.smithprojects  6 лет назад

      it only looks easy because it is! i am sure this truck is going to be a long drawn out video series. i hope to cover it from getting it running all the way through the gremlins and the final result.

      My wife is a traveling nurse. She works rotating 4 days on/3 days off one week and 3 days on/4 off the following week. I take care of the exterior of her vehicle and all maintenance. I have a wall mounted shop vac with a 20' hose in the garage and interior cleaners but she just shows no interest. She does however let me know when it's "real" dirty. I work 5-6 days a week usually 10 hours a day. Trying to get her to learn.

  • @danehansen1032
    @danehansen1032 6 лет назад

    I’m getting ready to do a dually conversion on a 96 f250, and I’m wondering if a single wheel axle and a dually axle are related at all. Could I simply just swap the hubs and or drums?

    • @j.c.smithprojects
      @j.c.smithprojects  6 лет назад

      the hub face measurements are different to accommodate the dual wheel.

    • @danehansen1032
      @danehansen1032 6 лет назад

      Thank you

    • @colestowing8695
      @colestowing8695 6 лет назад

      Dane Hansen The dually axle is actually wider, imagine putting an inner dually rim on your truck...it would hit the inside of the wheelwell. Other than that the rears are pretty much the same. You can extend the tubs(wheelwells) inward some and use the axle you have (using the single wheel axle keeps the wheels from jutting out as far), or get a dually axle, either way you have to cut the outside of the fender/bed and get flares or factory dually fenders. Actually, if you're not using a factory bed (i.e. if you're gonna use a flatbed, utility bed, wrecker bed, etc) there may be room to just bolt a set of wheels on.

  • @gosportjamie
    @gosportjamie 6 лет назад

    That rebuild tag looks a lot like what we get in the UK on a Ford exchange engine so maybe it's a factory rebuilt unit...

    • @j.c.smithprojects
      @j.c.smithprojects  6 лет назад

      i am not sure who the engine was remaned by...the last truck i had from the railroad with a remanufactured engine was by ford so it could be on this one too.

  • @markgriffis5256
    @markgriffis5256 4 года назад

    So just curious,I know you made this video a year ago, but what was the advantage or reasoning behind putting a 5.4 in place of a V10? Alsodo you have to worry about emissions where you live? And lastly is there a VIN discrepancy?

    • @j.c.smithprojects
      @j.c.smithprojects  4 года назад +1

      5.4 is a more attractive engine in this truck. the average buyer doesnt want a v10 for a daily driver. the emissions are going to be less with a smaller displacement engine. however, the buyer wanted this truck for the clean body. he was going to put his 7.3 in it so what engine was in it didnt matter at all as it would be removed.

  • @mzimm460
    @mzimm460 4 года назад

    Why would you want to change to a 5.4 they are the same motor from what I’ve ever heard just the v-10 might weigh a little more and get shit MPG

    • @j.c.smithprojects
      @j.c.smithprojects  4 года назад

      you obviously dont sell trucks. the 5.4 is by far a more attractive choice for resale in this truck than a v10. 5.4 will do 13-14 mpg. v10 does 9-10 mpg. less people want a v10 than would take a v8. its all about the size of the buyer pool.

    • @mzimm460
      @mzimm460 4 года назад

      No I do sell trucks. I have a 13 450 with a v-10 that I’m selling. You would almost have to get the trucks and parts free to make something like that pay off. It’s not like your gonna make 10k off a swapped truck. Doesn’t seem worth it?

    • @j.c.smithprojects
      @j.c.smithprojects  4 года назад +1

      that is because the only engine option for you f450 in 2013 was the 6.7 diesel or the 6.8 v10 gas. completely different buyers looking for that truck than the crew cab shortbed 4x4 in this video. if it wasnt profitable, i wouldnt do it! i dont work for free. nor do i lie to myself about how much my time is worth. when i am done with a truck it meets my minimum profit margin and covers the labor it takes to complete the work. if you watch enough of my videos, you will pick up on how and why this truck was profitable. there is a reason i buy so many of the same types of trucks. its all about efficiency.

  • @crackdownex
    @crackdownex 6 лет назад +1

    weird that the f350 has the 5.4 and the f250 had the v10 i figured the v10 would be the only gas motor option on the f350

    • @j.c.smithprojects
      @j.c.smithprojects  6 лет назад

      you could get the 5.4, 6.8 or the 6.0 diesel in the f250 and f350 in that year.

    Hello! I got a question if you can answer me I will appreciate your help...
    I got a ford f350 4x4 5.4 (2001) manual transmission
    My question is: I'm planning to swap my existing motor to v10 (6.8) but this is my big question...my manual transmission will fit in the v10?
    The new motor came from a 2003 ford v10 and I got another truck (1999) v10...which one it will better to swap? And transmission will fit? Thanks for your videos....

    Hi J.C., I'm considering purchasing a 2004, F250 w/V10. Could you please tell me if I could replace the V10 w/a 2003, or earlier, 2 valve 5.4L engine? (the truck is 4WD, and has a manual trans). Also, if I were to obtain a 2v, 5.4L out of a salvage yard for rebuild, please is it possible to increase the displacement of the engine to around 5.8L during rebuild? If so, I would assume you would have to re-program the pcm? Thanks.
