I respect that frame paintjob my man. Not to mention that interior looks great. Beauty. How are the BF goodies? Did they end up cupping at all? I was looking at those and the Destination MT/2s and went with the latter.
Thanks man! I appreciate it! So far the BFGs have been pretty good on this truck with no cupping. I only put about 5k miles a year on them. I had them on my daily driver 3rd gen, it went through them faster than I'd like but still a good tire.
Questions. I own a 1992 W250, immaculate condition (I do all the work on my truck but I didn’t install everything myself). Back story, my kill switch wire crimped on my parking brake, shorted the circuit, then caught fire. (I fixed it), but here comes the issue, now my Speedo and tach DONT work. Where should I look? All wires seem fine and all fuses are good. 1) where is your tach wired up to? 2) why could my speedometer not be working all of a sudden (the tach stopped working simultaneously) Any help is appreciated.
Only complaint I'd have, always starting in 1st "granny" and not 2nd; personal preference, living around these things for over 30 years. My grandfather, my mom and my dad all drove stick diesels never used 1st unless they were parked uphill or pulling a trailer with equipment from a dead stop
I agree. Though he may have 3.55 or maybe even lower final drive gearing judging by how long he was staying in 3rd gear at those speeds and how little he used 5th. Taller final drive gears may make 1st gear actually useable. My truck has 4.10 gears and at the speeds he was just starting to to shift to 3rd I would already be in 4th. 1st gear is essentially useless for anything other than the above listed purposes haha.
My setup is only single channel so I'm using a breakout box to run two mics into the a Zoom H1(which is at 6). That breakout box has a very sensitive gain adjustment, so that adds another variable to the mix. I've been fine tuning it for future videos.
Search on Amazon for Comica CVM-D03 Dual Lapel Microphone. That's the dual mic set up, the leads are nice and long to run one to the engine bay and one to the underside of the bed.
@@EngineersGarage1 Thanks, I'll look that up! I was just using a splitter for left and right audio channels in mono to record two audio sources but the gain was set around 3 or 4. I like the idea of extra gain sensitivity adjustment.
I really only did it for the video, just wanted to get more shifts in for a better engine sound experience. What's a shifting video without some shifting?
Nice truck. But why did you switch from the getrag to a nv4500? Just curious to know if there was a benefit or just a personal preference. Also what size is your exhaust pipe?
Thank you! Well the truck was originally an auto. I have a slight preference for the nv4500, I like the way it shifts over the getrag. The getrag is good still and the nv4500 sometimes has the 5th gear backing off issue. So both transmissions have pros and cons. If this truck came manual I'd leave the getrag. It's a 4 inch system with a muffler. Not sure what brand.
@@EngineersGarage1 cool, exhaust sounds real nice and deep. Wondered if it was just straight pipe or not. Anyways, really cool to see a clean first gen and hear one that sounds so good.
Nice, I just picked up an H1N and was trying out the same audio recording style. I like your vid! Is your truck straight piped? Also, the gauges on your dash, is there a hole in the dash for the wiring?
The truck has 4 inch system with a muffler. I'm unsure of brand, it was in there when I bought it and I love the way it sounds as is. It pained me, but I drilled a hole for the wires. Was tough to bring myself to do it on a mint dash. As for the H1N general consensus is to not run the gain below level 6(5 and below has a lot of floor noise for some reason).
@@EngineersGarage1 Yeah the truck sounds great! I love the look of the gauge pod without the wire running down the front of the dash. Really neatens it up. Good to know about the H1n. My gain was set around 3 or 4 when I recorded my audio. I'll have to look at that external gain setup you've got.
Thanks man! Trying to keep the truck clean, simple and traditional. Long answer on audio stuff although you didn't ask for it: That dual setup I have is recording each mic as left and right into one stereo file. I use Audacity for splitting that file a separate "Left" and "Right" file. One file will be engine bay noise and the other exhaust. Once that's done you can change the audio levels individually in post processing. This allows a lot of control over the balance between engine and exhaust noise vs one audio file heavily dominated by engine noise. Its a work around compared to having better recording equipment, but not too hard. Good luck!
@@EngineersGarage1 No I do want to know exactly how you do it! I've been interested in seeing how other people are recording their exhaust etc lately because it really does enhance the video quality overall for youtube. What do you use for editing software? I use davinci resolve and you can split the stereo audio file from the zoom h1n before you start editing it in the timeline and then you can adjust the decibel level independently for the left and right audio channels in the timeline without having to use audacity and then importing into your video editing software. I just ordered a comica cvm-ax1 since I already have the two lav mics, this will hopefully work to adjust my channel gain before it goes into the h1n and then I can set my h1n to the optimal level instead of around 3. Keep the vids coming! I subscribed. Nice rig.
I'm using VSDC editor that cost me $20. I figured since I'm just starting out on the youtube thing I'd keep my cost low before I jump in fully. I have been eyeing Davinci resolve for a while now but haven't taken the jump yet. But those features alone are sounding well worth it! It's a lot of file juggling the way I'm handling it right now. That cvm-ax1 looks like a great piece, I'll be watching to see how it does for you. Thank you! your truck is mint, I subscribed too. I appreciate it!
one of the cleanest and nicest sound first gen out their!
Thank you! That's what I was going for!
I could listen to this all day and night
Every cummins drivers favorite place to look… the passenger side rear view mirror 💨 💨 💨
I’m 14 and I could listen to that for the rest of my life
Thank you! I have another video of this truck coming in a few days
Literally my dream truck. I’ve got a 2 wheel drive auto but it’s in rough shape and I really want a manual 4x4
I have a 2021 Cummins and I appreciate the compliments on the exhaust hiss sound, but nothing beats a 12v!
Agree with JD, I could listen to that all day too. Nice Truck !
Thank you! Hope to have more videos of it soon!
Thank you thank you thank you!! Best music out there, definitely something to enjoy before i even get my first gen
Start learning how to fix wiring now bub, you’ll thank me later
I love your toys! That’s music to my ears!
Greatest sound on the road
Wow that thing sounds so good!! Definitely do more videos with it!
Thanks! I'll be filming another is week!
Your truck sounds and looks great! And your buddies car is just as good
Hot damn that's a clean truck!
Thanks!!
The title is a lie this is music 👍
I agree!
Wow that is a nice truck! Very beautiful color!👍👌
beatiful truck, saw in commack a few months ago, love the liberty plates
Thank you! I'm a big fan of liberty plates.
You should do a walk around of your truck. It's really nice and the spice tan interior was a nice interior option for the 92 and 93
Thank you! I agree it's a great color. I have plans to do more videos of the truck soon!
Awesome truck. I'm just curious, Is it stock? Or did you do any upgrades under the hood.
LMFAO da video says No Music but this whole video is Music and the realest and best type of Music out there rn as well as a 7.3 Powerstroke lmao
Which is cheaper? Replacing transmission or brakes?
Love the 5.9!
I respect that frame paintjob my man. Not to mention that interior looks great. Beauty. How are the BF goodies? Did they end up cupping at all? I was looking at those and the Destination MT/2s and went with the latter.

dont let whistlin diesel hear about this truck
this makes me want an old truck soooooo bad haha!
Awesomeness! Love it!

Back story, my kill switch wire crimped on my parking brake, shorted the circuit, then caught fire. (I fixed it), but here comes the issue, now my Speedo and tach DONT work. Where should I look? All wires seem fine and all fuses are good.
1) where is your tach wired up to?
2) why could my speedometer not be working all of a sudden (the tach stopped working simultaneously)
Any help is appreciated.
Only complaint I'd have, always starting in 1st "granny" and not 2nd; personal preference, living around these things for over 30 years. My grandfather, my mom and my dad all drove stick diesels never used 1st unless they were parked uphill or pulling a trailer with equipment from a dead stop
Or in a parking lot slow speed maneuvering
I agree. Though he may have 3.55 or maybe even lower final drive gearing judging by how long he was staying in 3rd gear at those speeds and how little he used 5th.

What gain level did you have the mic set at?

The title of this video is misleading, it says "No music" but there's clearly 12 valves of pure Cummins diesel music
Is interesting you use 1st gear so often. I daily drive one and really only use it in very bad traffic or when towing.
I really only did it for the video, just wanted to get more shifts in for a better engine sound experience. What's a shifting video without some shifting?
Nice truck. But why did you switch from the getrag to a nv4500? Just curious to know if there was a benefit or just a personal preference. Also what size is your exhaust pipe?

Thank you!
Should do a Pistol Grip Short Throw Shifter make shifts even faster unless ya don't mind the throws lol
I dont mind the slower shifts. It's basically a tractor anyway
@@EngineersGarage1 Oh yeah def agree wit ya on dat one love da truck tho I'm gonna be in da market for a 1st Gen as well for a build
Fully stock exhaust too? Sounds better than most I hear that are straight piped
It's a mbrp or diamond eye 4 inch kit with a muffler, I forget which.
you from l
Long island? what is it like getting a inspection sticker?
Yeah I am on LI. Not too bad since my truck is older than 96 and under 8500lbs. So I don't need an emissions inspection.
👌👌👌
Do u always start on 1st. I usually start from 2 nd
No I usually start in 2nd too. I just wanted this video to have as many shifts as possible to make it more interesting.

Nassau or Suffolk?
I'm right on the border, but Suffolk side
Just wondering who did the nv4500 swap
Would have done it myself if it didn't already come swapped. Truck was from Colorado originally, it was done somewhere there, but no idea the shop.
Oh ok thank you
How much would you sell it for? I have cash.
Sorry, no plans to ever sell it.
is that bruce wilson?
Nah that's me haha.
