This is amazing both modern caravan and vw, I remember back in the day when you scraped the old white 1990 and built the blue one, I missed the event of the purple van geting changed over!
My buddy and I were just talking about this combo. We both like the versatility of the stow and go caravan and the fuel economy of the TDI. Very cool conversion.
@@davidbrock4506 that does sound like an absolute blast. I love small diesels, wish they were more available in Canada. Always wanted to swap a 4bt into like a Ford Ranger or something lol
Should have had the security deleted off the ecu and just use the caravan ignition switch wired in. You did what most can comprehend either way with the swap.
Hey David, did you ever get my question I sent you and I had a question if I wanted to come by because my dad's Canadian and I was going up to Ontario later this summer can I come by the farm and actually meet you
i do have an update video. been working flawlessly for 3 years now. no leaks or adjustments or repairs. more dependable than stock.gets 5.5 litres per 100k. highway. has stage 2 tune now with 350 lbs torque at crank .100 more than stock.is a quick van.
Pretty cool swap! I would like more details on the swap if you make a follow up video. Even though it's essentially the same van as the Caravan it would have been cool if you would have swapped the TDI into a VW Routan van.
Man it's been over 12 years since I last seen Dave. So glad to see you back man. Also, it's fucking surreal as hell watching davidsfarm with current-model cars +/- 5 years as "junkers". It feels like I am in a time warp.
Dave. Happy to see videos from you. But please, for the sake of getting to continue to see your content, please consider taking this video down and doing it again with clothes on. The people that dont like you will find this video, see you're not wearing anything, and they'll b*tch and moan until you're gone again. And I REALLY dont want to wait another 8 years to see more videos again.

A true mechanic. Thank you for blessing us with videos please make more 🙏

Absolutely fantastic that made my week discovering this channel and a CR TDI swap is my cup of tea

Immo delete would keep you from having to keep the vw gauge cluster
Cool conversion!

@@davidbrock4506 Naked around scrap metal would spook me.

Weird, but awesome swap. Thanks for sharing!
now it has a malone stage two tune and is more fuel efficient and very fast. a joy to drive.

if you disable the immobilizer you wont need the clocks pluged in
Pause at 1:31 for a good time. Just joshin love ya dave rock on brother
I like the style of the white caravan the orginal one
Awesome video's very cool Amazing how you put a diesel engine in a Mini Van
Hey dude. I'm down in Kingston area... Doing the same thing. Have some solutions for you and some questions too. Not sure how to get in touch...
my last name is rock in london. look me up.land line.
i sure do miss the cold starts
Whoa!!!! Hes back !!!😁
Soooo how much?🤣 I’m looking at a ford transit / ford caravan for a work van for my new business but this would be perfecttttt
i am not making another one.
What did you do for the speedo reading if you didn't use the original abs sensor for speedo reading?
Awesome build, very unique!
it is using the van abs for speedo.
Good morning @@davidbrock4506
Hello @@davidbrock4506 How many cars have you got
@@adamcrane1436 maybe 20
You have a thread or write up on this? Id love to attempt this. Lots of tdi experience.
just this video series.
Glad to see you back on RUclips Dave missed you
Nice grease down there. Should keep the frame from rusting more.
Do you still have the your 70s/80s dodge van with the stick shift, and do you still have the New Yorker ?
Glad to see Dave is back
sold them
Gonna leave the shifter the same length? Would be a hilarious Easter egg to put a tall semi shifter in it 😂
The way Chrysler should have built the Caravan.
Did you know in Europe the new body style Ranger is offered in a diesel.
i would like a truck like that.
No way ... Dave's farm
How about a Cheviac update!!!! 😍
that thing must to be reclaimed by the earth by now lol
you just wait till you see a 6 year cold start coming soon.you will love it's evolving patina! EVIL NEVER DIES ! MOO HUU HAA !!
@@davidbrock4506 Good ole Dave👌
So glad your back 👌
why are you glad a pedo is free?
Why? Don’t you know what he did?
Should have had the security deleted off the ecu and just use the caravan ignition switch wired in. You did what most can comprehend either way with the swap.
Hey david when i get my 1987 dodge caravan restored can i bring it by the farm and show it to you haha
Hey David, did you ever get my question I sent you and I had a question if I wanted to come by because my dad's Canadian and I was going up to Ontario later this summer can I come by the farm and actually meet you
I've heard he takes visitors in the summer on the weekends.
00:13 this creep is clearly NOT wearing pants. Weird AF video
Hey if u don't like it those the back button lol
So what kind of fuel economy are you getting at 120kph?
i never drive that fast.
You should have done this to a VW Routan. Same thing as a caravan
those things cost to much.
I've never seen newer VW swaps here in Finland. Too new to scrap, that's for sure. I think you should start doing technical videos about cars etc.
He has been doing technical videos for almost two decades bro. I was watching him in highschool everyday.
what's the status on this? how's it running?
i do have an update video. been working flawlessly for 3 years now. no leaks or adjustments or repairs. more dependable than stock.gets 5.5 litres per 100k. highway. has stage 2 tune now with 350 lbs torque at crank .100 more than stock.is a quick van.
Hopefully you behave on here I missed you being on RUclips ur knowledge is pretty awesome
Should have swaped the TDI into a Routan. Fix VWs mistake 😂
What's the mpg on this beast?
55 mpg for imperial gallon 47 for american gallon.
@@davidbrock4506 dang thats nuts considering a 2ton box on wheels, puts the new sienna hybrid to shame
Why would you want to turn off power steering?
for long straight drives.
ok
You are a wiz
im glad to see ya dave
Pretty cool swap! I would like more details on the swap if you make a follow up video. Even though it's essentially the same van as the Caravan it would have been cool if you would have swapped the TDI into a VW Routan van.
those vans are expensive and rust more for some reason. more people drive caravans so this would interest more people.
Umm. Why Was he naked?
i am a life long nudist. i built this project without clothes and i bought this 100 acre farm so i could be my self.
Man it's been over 12 years since I last seen Dave. So glad to see you back man. Also, it's fucking surreal as hell watching davidsfarm with current-model cars +/- 5 years as "junkers". It feels like I am in a time warp.
yeah crazy he's still out with all the child porn he was found with
why are you glad a pedo is free?
Boy, have a missed you on RUclips! How are all of the old favorites, like the cheviac?
😱😱😱😭😂😂😂🤡🤣🤣

i bought the far so could be free.
@@Coatchawa i got nip.
Glad you're back. Let's leave the past where it belongs. At the side of the road behind us.
