A hillbilly swapping in a dirty ol 12 valve into an old Ford, and you're gonna fix the cruise control? Mad props, cruise is one of those things some people don't know to appreciate. I couldn't live without...
Glad to see ol sawed off posting again. What also works for drilling upside down as if you have a spare floor jack. Put the Jack underneath the drill and then you just put a little bit of pressure at a time on the jack 👌
This is the one a old timer showed me 50 years ago,kids look at me like I’m dumb when I see em struggling & try to pass it down, glad someone else learned it somewhere
It would’ve been best to beat in the firewall over number 6 cylinder so the valve cover can be removed easily in the future for valve lash adjustment. Also the corner of the tunnel to gain for room for the down pipe from turbo. I did this to my OBS swap and it does make a difference. Good luck on the swap, you will not be disappointed. 👍🏼
I did a 24 v swap in a 2003 ford and used the diesel conversion kit and everything went well. So good to see u posting and so sorry bout all the bad luck. Such a sweet old ford crew cab
Looks good sawed off. This is my plan when my 6.4 dies in my F550. It wont be long....it already blows the oil cap off when u unscrew it. Glad u got it running good.
Can’t you slap a smaller rear gear in it? Being friends with old peg, I’m sure it would be cheaper than a new set of tires?, unless you need them anyway
@GRANITEMONUMENT I'm pretty sure it is working. It pushes oil in to the turbo inlet, so I think the motor is just living on borrowed time. I need to do the ccv mod just to keep the oil out of the intercooler.
That headliner will never go back in. Ask me how I know! Yeah it’s louder and hotter during the summer, but you can also hold up papers and important documents with magnets! Just be sure you lose all the important ones while you’re flying down the road with the windows down! Glad to see you back
The floor shifter's if the screw's are rusted beyond using a screw driver, take a drill and drill the head off from the screw with a bit that is just bigger than the screw head or so close that you can pull up on the plastic and break the head off them.
Enjoyable video mate. Sorry to hear of your bathroom problems or is does that sound too personal. Perseverance saves the day on the motor swap, well done 👍👍👍👍
Did you figure out the issues? I have a 98 12v truck and i was dealing with this same issue and it all boiled down to fuel pressure. I put an airdog 165gph pump on it and solved the problem. Runs perfect no hesitation or stumbling. These ppumps really need 35+ psi. Mine is turned way up and has bigger sticks turbo gov springs etc so i was recommended to run 45psi fuel pressure. Additionally its really easy to wire the factory dodge fuel shut off if ya want id be happy to help!
If you do enough drilling, Walter makes a low profile magnetic drill for drilling inside I beams and truck frames, i use them sometimes for drilling out broken bolts on excavator undercarriages. They work great. They are only about 8" tall so they work upside down easy.
Finally a video man where you been. You and zip ties are the only ones I wait to watch a video of and y’all don’t make enough. What’s going on with that.
Little tip for ya guys, I have a 1992 dodge VE pump 12 valve. I have 3.54 gears and standard 5 speed trans on 31.5” tire. If you want a higher top speed for cheap put 3200 or 4000rpm governor springs in the pump. World of a difference. Im able to get up to 90mph with my truck on 31.5 tires.
Looks good. Just a couple weeks ago I bought my first Ford, a project truck. 1997 F250 4x4 with a 1997 12V Cummins. It isn't done but it looks like I missed out on having some fun with the front end. I have to finish the AC and I may redo the turbo and associated piping. My truck also has 2008 F250 axles with front coil springs - probably not necessary. I'll run taller tires as well even though I think my axles have 3.73 gears. My '03 Dodge has 3.55 gears, 6-speed and 33" tires. It pulls my 18,000# RV trailer no problem. I do wish my Ford had the 6 speed. Anyway, thanks for the video. Minty.
Very nice. YOu have the huevos to do it? Great on you, young man. If only I was young enough, I'd yank my 6.0 which is running great at the moment, and throw in a 12/24 valve. Which ever wouldn't matter to me. Just one like yours, all mechanical. Great to see your build.
Just in case you didn't know, (you likely do) you can get a factory Ford tach cluster, and the wiring is already setup from the factory for it. Literally plug and play. You just take your center section out (with the odometer), and swap it over to the new cluster to keep things "legal". There's no need to do the hillbilly aftermarket, screws in the dash big pod tachometer like so many guys do.😂
Sweet rig! That 12 valve is gonna be fun but in my opinion a DT360 would have been awesome. In my neck of the woods a DT360 is cheaper than a 12 valve so naturally I favor the DT360 plus it's a wet sleeve cylinder design.
Weight and issues with adapting a transmission seem to be what keeps the DT’s from getting swapped into pickups more often. In a 2wd it’s not too hard, but in a 4wd you’ve got to either be / know a good machinist to build adapters or go to a divorced T-case, build mounts and a shifter linkage for it and run a medium duty trans. IH actually put a few early “D series” inline 6 diesels in 3/4-1ton trucks back in the 60’s….that was called a D301 and was a parent bore version of a smaller sleeved engine as I understand it. They only built a handful and Today those trucks are rare but man are they cool.
If my cheap 93 crew cab idi doesn’t work after I redo the head gaskets I’m sourcing a Cummins for it. Only have 456 dollars into it total since my friend didn’t want to see the truck scrapped and or parted out. I only need a return line kit and head bolts and thermostat and water pump gaskets then it’s onto reassembly. Already bought the head gasket kit and the used heads
Awesome I just picked up a 1991 f-superduty crewcab conversion with a 175 inch wheelbase. I wanting to doing something crazy like shoehorn a 6.6 ford brazilian diesel in it
Saying of coolant temp sensor in the heater hose, my 300 has the temp sensor in the same place. Works just fine. Great showing otherwise fella, hope all is well in the basement now.
i got the same exact turbo i used the 12 valve manifold drilled out the bolt holes on it and just used longer bolts and nut's, i used a drain plug from a 241 transfer case to plug where the solenoid goes, and made a custom manually adjustable spring gate, the things mint, does 40lbs of boost ez pz. only problem is a i got a rustbox dodge would love to swap a 12 valve into a k2500 or a 2015ish chevy 2500
Fuck yeah bud glad to see you back !! Fuckin epic video so watching it a second time 🤣🤣 love ya vidyas and eagerly await your next one. Keep er in the ketchup bud
Isn’t that plate that is missing in the pump, isn’t that where that live tuner gets installed… I know pdd has done some videos on that area of the pump
I know exactly how you feel when I comes to trying to get shit done around the house and shop when you are working every day it suxs and projects take for ever
this cummins without electronic injecion control on injection pump make no power , you can make 1.9tdi from 1999 to make from 110hp to 190hp with soft and turbo and will be a little rocket compare to this 5,9cummins on manual pump
my 887 pump (215hp) 12v set up, it likes around 30psi of fuel pressure up on the highway, and thats with the stock mechanical pump, tweak the OF valve spring on the pump to bump the fuel pressure. i've had good luck with bosch 330hp marine injectors and they played nice with the stock turbo and stock fuel plate full forward, and with a #10 plate 3/4 forward, any more than that and it would blot out the sun and egt would get toasty, its got a turbonetics stage 1 ball bearing turbo and that turns a lot more of the soot into power. i set the timing with a dial indicator kit, mine is happy at 16.5 degrees (2 more than stock) when i got the truck they tried to set it with the pin and it was like 4 degrees retarded and ran like shit, would belch white smoke and backfire like a cannon till it got some heat in the motor, the twin ram banks intake i lucked into for half price actually dropped the egt's/smoke more than a little, so its good for something, i gotta imagine the cheapo versions do the same thing, i split my grid heater, but maybe up in the land of ice and snow you may want two, in loserana split works fine, cold as hell here is 22f a fun toy if you can find one is a gearvender overdrive, took my 4:10 70mph speed from 2250 to 1750-1800 with a nv4500, can split gears too for fun or hauling, at 2k for a used kit, its my favorite mod after the odd 50% more power its got
I see that someone's attended Ariel level 1 training 👀 I got that same cap on your dash from my attendance to Ariel level 1 training.. are you a gas compression tech too?
Big shout out from Texas awesome Truck!.....im currently almost finished with my swap....1994 f350 zf5 4x4 12 valve....i do have a question.....how to get the tachometer to work as far as wiring?....any advice would be greatly appreciated!.....Y'all stay warm up there!
Thanks, i have friends in texas, beautiful place, you cant use the factory crank pickup as its 5 volt and needs the dash module, you can get a crank pickup model or one that runs off the alternator, i havent done that yet either...cheers
As for the intercooler I would’ve used a 6.7 Powerstroke intercooler that’s an Air/Water design. Get a 2nd smaller radiator to put where the intercooler would go that would cool off the intercooler cooler than the stock dodge one, & u could put dry ice in to get colder. Unless ur up north then u might need to use legit coolant, & not just water. Water tank-pump-intercooler-radiator I’ll be doing that on my IDI because a turbo is a lot of work to do it right. Also another point of failure so I like N/A for that. I prefer the simplicity of N/A IDI or just going with a 94-03 7.3. I would’ve done that swap over a 5.9 because of the amount of work to do it.
I'm doing a powerstroke swap in to my 88 crew cab right now. I'd like to Cummins swap it, but the 12 and 24 valve engines are unobtanium down here in Nor Cal.
That srw should or is most likely a 3.73 rear, I think the drw was a 4.10, and I think there was a 3.55 option?? But seems like swapping the rear to a smaller gear would be the easiest and cheapest way to get the rpm’s down,

I totally agree with you.
Peg and his 3/4 of a leg definitely can't live without
Hell i was thinking youtube put you in jail & not allowing you to post ! It's good to see your still at it & thanks for the conversion tips !

Peg is so smart. Especially with engine stuff. Imagine if he applied himself!!
My 95 f250 has 198k miles and still is like a brand new 460. Love ❤️ it
Looks good sawed off. This is my plan when my 6.4 dies in my F550. It wont be long....it already blows the oil cap off when u unscrew it. Glad u got it running good.
Is your ccv working? Has it been messed with?
Can’t you slap a smaller rear gear in it? Being friends with old peg, I’m sure it would be cheaper than a new set of tires?, unless you need them anyway

Good shit man, glad to see you back.
Great episode. I appreciate the digestible way of explaining.
I try but im no wizard at it, i fumble my way through which is how most people do it so at least its relatable...cheers
Man, I love your videos! I watch all your guys stuff. Really cool to see other Canadian mechanics givin er!
Worth the wait, the truck came out just minty, what an absolute unit.
The floor shifter's if the screw's are rusted beyond using a screw driver, take a drill and drill the head off from the screw with a bit that is just bigger than the screw head or so close that you can pull up on the plastic and break the head off them.
Enjoyable video mate. Sorry to hear of your bathroom problems or is does that sound too personal. Perseverance saves the day on the motor swap, well done 👍👍👍👍
love the fact that you explain what you're doing as your doing it 👌 minty asf
That shot when you went over the camera was mint. Thanks for the video and I hope the house troubles come out alright. 🍺
She’s so mint keep getting her better faster and sweeter and keep the rust off and she’ll be super valuable
He'll yeah I'm just glad to see you're still alive bretherin you and the Ole pegster are definitely my favorite Canadians oh and ave 😂

glad to see you back buddy!
Very nice. YOu have the huevos to do it? Great on you, young man. If only I was young enough, I'd yank my 6.0 which is running great at the moment, and throw in a 12/24 valve. Which ever wouldn't matter to me. Just one like yours, all mechanical.

6.0 liters got a bad rap but i had one that was excellent...im just not a fan of computers...cheers
Great video Great project
Great outcome
Peg would be proud of this ScrewCab SchlongBox creation

I want to do a 6v53detroit...buddy has one but wont sell it to me
I've heard a 6.4 starter has more starting power and speed. Should save on those cold starts
I also used the stock manifold but flipped it upside down with the stock turbo
If my cheap 93 crew cab idi doesn’t work after I redo the head gaskets I’m sourcing a Cummins for it. Only have 456 dollars into it total since my friend didn’t want to see the truck scrapped and or parted out.

Nice! Trumpet return & a cliff banger ending mint👌🏻
Run a bhaf for your air filter. It’s a big rig air filter and works great
Awesome I just picked up a 1991 f-superduty crewcab conversion with a 175 inch wheelbase. I wanting to doing something crazy like shoehorn a 6.6 ford brazilian diesel in it
Nice build man ole cummins dumpster makin that furd move better then ever!!

Fuck yeah buddy, visiting Peg must be minty!! Nice truck!

Great to see you saw it off frenchman another fummins for the world.... The good thing you did a Dodge delete on that Cummins+!!+++😆😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂
You got more project then popcorn lmao
Every time I see one of these Fumins swaps it makes me want to stick one in a Lincoln or caddy for road tripping. But I'm not right.
Aw man that flood really fucking sucks. On top of everything else too. Holy shit.
Id swap axles to 3.55 or 3.73 ratio. I have a 96 f350 with 4.10 gears and 35s and im still running 2500 rpm going 70 mph
sawed off Frenchman does it again!!
I agree with you, the 12 valve cummins is a much better engine, m9re reliable and cheaper on parts. And with 250k km it's only just tun in 😅
6.9 parts are pretty cheap
Hope your house turns out fine after everything is taken care of.
I didn’t think 10 psi for that electric pump is enough pressure. Pretty sure the mechanical lift pump is 30+psi. That would make it run like ass
Did you port match the manifold? Doing this swap right now and would like to know if it matters.
my cummins ran out of fuel and i had to do a couple km down the highway before it ran good and had full power
Liter of oil? I'm not sure we sell liter of oil... Sweet rig !
Nice swap, now you get to fix the house
Awesome video even if it’s ungreased! Thanks for posting
You gotta buy a lathe mate.
With a 4 jaw lathe you can turn a square.
Damn, 6.9 IDI to a 12 valve, thats like 20 more HP!
How many days this take ya? been thinking about doing one next summer when I purge off a couple rigs
Fuck yeah bud glad to see you back !! Fuckin epic video so watching it a second time 🤣🤣 love ya vidyas and eagerly await your next one. Keep er in the ketchup bud
cool
Isn’t that plate that is missing in the pump, isn’t that where that live tuner gets installed… I know pdd has done some videos on that area of the pump
I know exactly how you feel when I comes to trying to get shit done around the house and shop when you are working every day it suxs and projects take for ever
A 7.3 idi clutch disk and pressure plate will bolt right up to a 12v flywheel. Why are you drilling and tapping it? Just curious.
Mine did not...not sure why
Finally posted holy shit
P pumps need around 60psi lift pump pressure. And you don’t have to have the fuel plate in the pump.
👍👍 right on man... Nice rig .....see ya next time 👊
could be the overflow valve on that injection pump
Looks like a kickass rig 👍👍👍
Peg said to tell you that leathermans rule and go get you one
Use a floor jack under the drill for a drill press
Man she looks fuckin mint 👌
this cummins without electronic injecion control on injection pump make no power , you can make 1.9tdi from 1999 to make from 110hp to 190hp with soft and turbo and will be a little rocket compare to this 5,9cummins on manual pump
wonder if a 94 intercooler and front end would of been better

Thanks i know, i will put on a better pump than the crappy carter pump when i have the money...cheers
sweet spot seemed to be around 28-34 in my testing, been at 34 for about 13-14 years with the same lift pump and everything else @@captaindipchit
I see that someone's attended Ariel level 1 training 👀 I got that same cap on your dash from my attendance to Ariel level 1 training.. are you a gas compression tech too?
Do you have the measurements for the pedistals for the intercooler?
“The grill went back in easy because everything is either missing or broken.”

Out with one idi, in with another.
BADASS TRUCK
Why did you let Peg use the bathroom
What’s up with the ATC 250r?
anyway you could share the dimensions of that bumper with a feller if you have them?
There are no dimentions to share... it isnt perfectly simmetrical, i just built frame posts and added steel until it ressembled a bumper...halfassery
looks good to me!@@captaindipchit
Hell ya ole peg is minty as fuck
Great work
so is that an IDI and Dodge Delete?
Some crud in the lines maybe
Whatcha gonna do with the Powersmoke yall have in yer shop?
Not sure...nothin yet
I'm doing a powerstroke swap in to my 88 crew cab right now. I'd like to Cummins swap it, but the 12 and 24 valve engines are unobtanium down here in Nor Cal.
If that was a factory turbo it was definitely a 7.3
The white spray can....
Not a good sign...
Can’t mold if it is steam
That srw should or is most likely a 3.73 rear, I think the drw was a 4.10, and I think there was a 3.55 option?? But seems like swapping the rear to a smaller gear would be the easiest and cheapest way to get the rpm’s down,
Oilberta looks a lot like kansas
