I had a lot of fun with everyone at Power Driven Diesel. They are a bunch of hard-working guys who absolutely love what they do. They do amazing work! By the way, I'm planning to publish a video on the transmission rebuild on December 3rd. Thanks again to the Power Driven Diesel Team for the collaboration, and I'm hoping to collaborate with the PDD team again!!
I've watched Project Farm for years, I love how wholesome he is, even when his eyeballs are being pushed into the back of his head by the tow truck "oh gosh" "oh my" 😂😂😂😂 0% swearing. 🙌 A real role model. 🤝
This was great to see. Farm Todd works hard for us, so to see him get some satisfaction like this should make us all happy. I also think he is not the type to beat the truck into oblivion and it will last very many years. Great video.
I am a die hard Mopar man. Respect Todd's unbiased videos. PPD!!! Ever since the video of the green Cummins exploding at the end of the strip. I was impressed. I saw so many comments saying you guys build garbage. I see it as you all build high end drive trains, but are willing to push the limits.
That experience clearly paid off in making Todd's engine more powerful but not TOO powerful. You won't know what's safe unless you destroy something or somebody else does it for you. Car manufacturers clearly don't want to tell you their engines are not pushing max power, so tuners are the ones who do it.
What a surprise to find Project Farm here! I've been watching him, and PDD for a long time. Recently got your PDD Air Filter can for my '06 Ram 3500, 5.9 L of course. Love the new filter.
you know it really doesn't make that much of a difference they just put their oil as insurance that you're at least using a top tier oil and not quaker state or some gas station crap
I'm not into diesels, but you guys seem like the dream team when it comes to knowing just how to make an engine and transmission better. You made Todd's truck not only more powerful, but also more fuel efficient and cleaner and more reliable. Most people only focus on one of those, not all at once. They want power, but sacrifice reliability or fuel efficiency. Or they want reliability by detuning the engine. Or they flat out get rid of mufflers and emission controls as a cheap way to get more power instead of keeping those in place and actually improving the engine itself. The irony is that, at least in a modern fuel injected gas engine, having the engine have more complete burns with higher compression is the exact method car manufacturers have gotten engines to push so much power while reducing emissions and improving fuel efficiency.
This is a great group of boys right here. Been daily driving my 12 valve swapped chevy for a year and a half now. I've resisted the urge to turn it up because I want maximum life and reliability out of it. But maaaan this makes me want to tear into it.
Ironically this upgrade probably is just as reliable as bone stock because of the upgraded internals. Not to mention they definitely didn't push the engine to its absolute limit. It still has lots of wiggle room. The tune they applied is pretty much how a brand new Cummins would be in power whereas the Ram was basically detuned to meet emissions (before the days of modern particulate filters and whatnot).
Looks like a similar setup to what you sold me several years ago. Mine is a ‘98 5-sp though. I would love to put it on a dyno sometime. Lots of fun to drive, and I put traction bars on it after I broke my pinion yoke.
Being from Minnesota I’ve never seen a second gen that clean before! I wouldn’t dare try to remove an exhaust manifold on anything unless I feel like cussing and fixing broken bolts all day.
Isn't Todd from like the midwest? They get snow and therefore salt in the roads and rust, right? Of course, Todd is the type of person to actually look underneath the vehicle from time to time to see if it's actually still safe to drive.
@@SockyNoob I’m not sure where he’s from but not every state uses salt, and you can wash them all you want but the shit still gets up in the places where you can’t really wash and is still gonna rust them out faster than non salt states. Once it gets cold enough most all the car washes shut down for the winter anyways so unless you’ve got a big heated shop with a hot water pressure washer ready to wash your vehicle after every trip in the winter than you’re not gonna stay ahead of it.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to have all the nice gadgets that brand new trucks have, but I'll happily keep working on my 3rd gen over dealing with the trash system on the new trucks and the headaches that brings with it.. No Emissions junk whatsoever 😂😂 and that's the way I like it haha💙💙💙
You went with the PDD Stage 1 injectors? Only thing I was wondering about are the Stage 2 Dynamite Diesel injectors. No core charge. Comparable performance?
@@pddofficial wonder if it was lack of knowledge, fear of poor reliability, or government regulations that caused almost all old diesels to be extremely underpowered.
Perfect timing. I just watched the preceding video. Really would like to see the B-Life ratings of modding trucks. If there's no database, someone should start one. Would like to see fuel economy stage 1, 2, 3, 'recipes'
Awesome video, I saw the project farm Todd on there and had to watch it. I have the same truck but 2 Wheel Dr. How did you do all that work for under $5000?! Because I’ll drive all the way there from Salem, OR to have that work done to my diesel if I can get all that done for five grand! 😊
@@pddofficial that sounds like a lot, but it really isn't. Considering you guys actually replaced most of the internals of the engine and transmission to actually handle the increase in power, you could argue the extra cost is absolutely justified because this tune WON'T destroy the entire engine and transmission like most hacky DIY tunes. Wouldn't you rather spend the extra few grand knowing it's done right the first time? I certainly would. Spend more now, cry less later! Plus you guys did the tuning right in front of him and showed him all the parts being replaced. How many other tuners (hell, even regular mechanics) actually do that little extra to boost confidence and be transparent?
Either this dyno is off on its calibration, or it was uprated somewhere along the way which was pretty common because no way, was a 160 hp stock engine, going to put 200hp at the wheels 😁. I am pretty sure of it, having had a '94 brand new same auto slushbox 12v.
@@wtchr6883 not really these dodge will take a beating as far as the transmission transfer case and rear end. My truck has compound turbos makes 70psi boost no issues I built the transmission myself back in 2014 it's still holding.
Project Farm posted his own video showing the dyno runs in more detail. On the full power pull I believe the egt's hit 1600 at the end of the pull. Fine for short rips but you won't want to tow with all that.
Hey, guys, quick question, when highly building diesel, where build also uses ported heads, do you port match exhaust port to manifold, and manifold to turbo inlet? Or do you upsize the step as reversion prevention, which is common on petrol engine performance? Maybe you have tested backpressure, spool, hot side temp differences between port-matched hot side and stepped one? Which approach is more correct on diesel?
What was the total cost in parts and labor? You guys didn't do exhaust on this truck. I Love your guys channel! You guys are Awesome! Keep it Coming! I subscribed!
Dude what trans was that?? I’ve wanted to swap a 12v for a while now but I’m not sure what trans to use. Would need to be an auto. Allison would be great but super pricey.
Crazy how that's less power than my old Chevy Cobalt. Granted it has more torque. I actually found out that the old school buses I rode in as a kid made like 200-300 horsepower and 600-700 lb-ft of torque. You'd think they'd be way more powerful considering they weigh at least 10 tons without any kids. Nowadays I think they're like 1.5x as powerful if not more, especially the hybrid versions.
You guys doing ok? Haven’t seen a new video in a while. Maybe I need to drop my truck off for a video…I bought a poop ton of parts a couple years ago, but no time to put on. Hope all is well.
This very much dependent on the truck! If the truck is quick spooling and carries out power well then the load can mean less than 50hp on a 1000hp truck. However if you have a tight setup like a 12v with factory head that doesn't carry power out well then the load can help spool the charger at a lower rpm and help get the boost up where the engine wants to make power. In this situation load can. mean as much as 20-30%.

Watching your reaction they definitely did you good love both channels so much glad to seen the collaboration between you two
They need to hand you a set of every popular head stud now so you can show us a REAL test!
@ProjectFarm we had an absolute great time as well! can't wait to do more in the future!

The diesel Community desperately needed this video, Project Farm is an absolute Legend!
I'm not into diesel at all and yet I'm impressed with the results, so I think this is a win for everyone
what a cool collaboration! FarmDrivenDiesel
Yes was absolute blast!

Damn grandpa's truck has more power than a new HO power stroke lol
Sure does!
I love both of these channels. Appreciate what you do.
I’ve never seen Todd this happy! Great to see!
I'm so happy this collaboration happened
Us as well!
Hopefully he gets the Farmabago tuned. Pretty sure that's a gas powered V8.
Awesome to see my 2 favorite Chanels together
527/1260 w a single turbo. Nice work!

Our pleasure!
Love project farm, never knew he owned a 2nd gen til recently!
You and me both!
Very impressive.
Thank you very much!
Amazing collaboration- hats off to both of you!
Thank you
Glad to see you did something fun and beneficial for yourself since you do so much for us, the consumers. Cheers
I drove a 2001 Cummins Dodge to California from Seattle. 200 hp was definitely available. The torque was there, too.

Great video, that’s a healthy 12V 👍
Now you need to do a test on the PDD oil. I’ve ran it in the past but I’d love to see a comparison test done with it.
you know it really doesn't make that much of a difference they just put their oil as insurance that you're at least using a top tier oil and not quaker state or some gas station crap
@@EkzdeeLFT Todd has already done videos on motor oils and most are almost identical. Unless this is some other oil you're talking about.
I like Farm Todd's nervous laugh during the ride along
I just got a 95 2500 and I'm saving up to come get work done on it.
Great to here it will be a fun truck
Thanks for the video, Project Farm is one of my favorite channels , The old ram will pull with the best of them now.

You did some really great work on his truck and what a cool project, thank you!
I think farm Todd needs to test big Todd’s diesel engine oil with the high zinc additive package. Up vote!
He did buy some oil from us so maybe
I love collabs like very impressive so to speak lol
Thank you
I love this guy!
Thank you
This was such an awesome video. Great addition to the channel!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sweet mash up! I wish you guys could do this to my '97. It's also bone stock!

Careful what you ask for! lol
I love that Big Todds 1000hp tow rig hahaha I think my truck is badass and it makes 450 haha

this is great
PF Todd making sure his guns are out to steal the show, which he never shows at home.. LMAO
🤷♂️😂
Project Farm Todd president 2032
Need more 5.9 magnum builds so I can find inspiration in mine lol
Awesome work as always guys 👍🏻
Thank you
what transmission was used for this build? This is amazing!
He installed one of our diy kits! I think it was the 650 hp Kit if I remember right
What was the stock torque with the 205 horsepower reading?
They usually hit 400 ft lbs, this one made a bit more, 460ish
Well if ya need another 12 valve 1998 to throw new parts and get rolling like a top let me know
Back in the 80's I had a '81 Peterbilt with a Cat 3406A that pretty sure did not have 1200* torque!
It is amazing how much torque these engines can put out with a few good modifications!!
@@pddofficial wonder if it was lack of knowledge, fear of poor reliability, or government regulations that caused almost all old diesels to be extremely underpowered.
Damn that’s almost the power that the modern heavy duties engines make with company tuning have. I think my DD15 is set at 485HP/1800FTLB
I subbed cuz of project farm.

Ok and what oil will project farm Todd run in his Cummins?? Inquiring minds want to know lol great video loved it 👍🏻
Your #6 cylinder will over heat. You need a cooling bypass thermostat, that mounts on the back of the engine.
What were the EGT like toward end of the full pull?

Hey, guys, quick question, when highly building diesel, where build also uses ported heads, do you port match exhaust port to manifold, and manifold to turbo inlet? Or do you upsize the step as reversion prevention, which is common on petrol engine performance? Maybe you have tested backpressure, spool, hot side temp differences between port-matched hot side and stepped one? Which approach is more correct on diesel?

👍💪
Damn, when did farm Todd get yoked?
If he thought it felt gutless at 200 horse then he should go drive an actual stock one that only gets maybe 135 on a good day like you said 🤣
Crazy how that's less power than my old Chevy Cobalt. Granted it has more torque. I actually found out that the old school buses I rode in as a kid made like 200-300 horsepower and 600-700 lb-ft of torque. You'd think they'd be way more powerful considering they weigh at least 10 tons without any kids. Nowadays I think they're like 1.5x as powerful if not more, especially the hybrid versions.
You guys doing ok? Haven’t seen a new video in a while. Maybe I need to drop my truck off for a video…I bought a poop ton of parts a couple years ago, but no time to put on. Hope all is well.
If I had a 6bt cummins I would have 210 hp I don't mind it being slow I just want it to get great mpg.
fair enough mines still a 160 hp but my mpgs are descent for a 2500
Farm Todd did a milage test on his way home a picked up some MPG!
How much of a difference in horsepower and torque do you see on a dyno that you can load versus one you can’t load in a diesel?
massive difference can be upwards of 200-300 hp
This very much dependent on the truck! If the truck is quick spooling and carries out power well then the load can mean less than 50hp on a 1000hp truck. However if you have a tight setup like a 12v with factory head that doesn't carry power out well then the load can help spool the charger at a lower rpm and help get the boost up where the engine wants to make power. In this situation load can. mean as much as 20-30%.
