- We seal up the VVA housing set the lash on the valves and VVA's and also the C Brake WOW there's a lot of stuff under the covers☻ and install the Switch Blade Turbo on the Caterpillar C15 twin turbo
I hate to say it as a Cat guy, but that looks way better and cleaner than stock. Good job on the paint too, you really took some time cleaning it.
Adept Ape it did come out nice! U should see what the paint guy just did to ours. Wtf what a mess! Did great on the red chassis, but sprayed red all over motor. He says oh fix it for u, go get him a gal of CAT yellow, well everything got painted yellow. Wtf. What a mess
I tackle some tough projects but never anything close to what you are doing. You have a never ending level of patience. BRAVO!
I just love watching your videos especially when your dealing with a complicated piece of machinery such as this engine rebuild. The lighting, camera work and audio are in my opinion outstanding - I dread to think how much time and effort it must take to edit it all to your satisfaction. When you add in your dry humour it is just great.
Thanks for what you do.
I'm from the smallest county in the UK called Rutland on the edge of Europe's largest man made reservoir called, not surprisingly, Rutland Water.
Jeff Anderson and Red Green two of my heroes!!!!!!! Love your channel and thank you for taking the time to film and edit these videos. Nice to see someone else besides me who smashes fingers and draws blood when working on trucks!
Central Iowa here. Who wouldn't watch your videos! You're an entertaining guy! Can't wait to see how that switchblade performs! I might have to check them out, been wanting to upgrade and they look very interesting. And today isn't Friday! 2 videos per week! I do know the time it takes. On one of my last videos I spend about 4 hours editing and uploading and all that for a 9 minute video! You're putting in a lot of time, but the content is great. Always look forward to it when I see one pop up! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for all the effort you put into these videos. I have learned allot about keeping older iron going watching your channel. We run 8 John Deere farm tractors from about the 70s to early 2000s model years on our farm and know the effort it takes to operate and keep them running. Bachmann Farms, Pitt Meadows BC
Awesome to have a midweek video Mr. Paydirt. The C15 is looking great can't wait to see what she does. I thought I recognized that as an old Robinson truck. See them all the time down here good old Utah. Can't wait till Friday for the next one
Thanks, Jeff your not building a watch as to see but building a watch as to run, you say run what? a switchblade turbo that's what. lol have a good one. Keep Trucking!!!
Jim, havn't heard from you in a long time, been worried about ya
You're doin just right with the content Jefferson! I enjoy all the videos from work to wrench time so don't fret that part muh friend
Great videos, Jeff! Thank you for taking the time to film and edit them into very watchable and interesting films. Beats some of the telly programmes we have here in the UK!
Love the vid man, I miss driving trucks and running equipment, it’s like being a kid again playing in the dirt and getting paid for it! 🙂 I enjoy every one of your videos!
Terrence Hardy from Fort Wayne Indiana with the C15 .I love your videos I appreciate them they all very helpful I be needed the help please keep making them..
Hi Jpaydirt, I enjoy your videos. Big into earth moving equipment and diesel engines. Can't wait until your C-15 project is back running. Dean Rowe from Wilmington, NC.
Something I always like about your wrenching is that you aren't afraid to admit when you don.t know something, but what I really like is that you have a bunch of classy viewers who give you advice without sounding like they're superior snobs. Reno NV
OH man I love my viewers who have knowledge I don't
Great surprise for a Tuesday night. 👍
Totally enjoying your C-15 videos, drove a number of trucks for many years in the construction trade with those motors. Keep those outstanding videos coming. A.Chase . Fremont, CA
Entertaining and educational as always. Keep em coming
Looking good. U are spoiling us with these mid week videos. Keep up the good work.
Love the Red Green tag at the end. Your projects always seem to turn out better than his. Good work man.
Always awesome watching.
Nothing like a Caterpiller engine. Like your videos Andrew McIntire from Rochester Mills, PA
JUSTIN woodlee Seneca south Carolina been a sub for quit a long time now. Love ur channel and love the c15 build. Keep an coming jpay
I really enjoy watching all of your videos on your channel. I also have "Cat Yellow Blood" and seeing the way you take care of your equipment puts a big smile on my face. It's great to see someone taking pride in their work and their equipment. I restore older Cat equipment as a hobby so I appreciate all of the work you put into maintaining your fleet. Big job and lots of work and $$$$. One tip that may be helpful is to use a port-a-band saw to cut studs and all thread rod - doesn't mess up the threads. Keep up the great work!
I don't know what you listen to while you're whiling away the hours in the shop, but I used to listen to CBC before she went to mainly PC and victimhood narratives. Whatever it's tuned to, the background can contribute to working as the sound keeps fading in and out as your concentration on the job varies. Same as Paul, great midweek surprise.
love your humor and you makes the best videos....See you soon.Jesper Remington from Denmark
nice to know their are people in this world that work as hard as we do to keep things rolling
Another great entertaining video Jeff and this isn't even Friday so I guess it is a bonus for us viewers.
Happy new Year Jeff! We do appreciate the time it takes to film your work, I know how much extra effort is needed to get good results so thanks for going the extra mile.
Cheers Gregg.
Hey Jeff that cat paint WAS awesome we used it for years painting our rebuilt final drives ,It's just not the same anymore,
We use a lot of semi gloss black paint ,that old paint would stick to metal with oil on it LOL ,we use deere paint now it works great & its cheap THANK YOU EPA GHETTOCRATS
Can not wait to hear that turbo whistle!
I don't know which I like better, The Wrench time or the Wench time at the beginning of you videos. LOL Thanks for the great vids.
I love buying replacement or performance parts. Usually costs double when you add up the trips to the part store to procure the necessary items to install. I bought an aftermarket turbo for a 3406B. Good thing I have a Bridgeport and a lathe.
G-Day Jeff !! Great vid Mate !!Your doing great job on the vid's , had a good laugh when you showed the turbo up top .In joying your build on the C15 and old Kenny
Cheers Glynn
Great video! Shout out from Tillsonburg Ontario Canada. Keep up the good work. Wish I had the time and patience to give back with how to's. Gonna refer to your videos when it's time to single my turbos. Thanks again
To me your videos have been excellent from when I started watching! Thanks for the Vids!!!!
Very good video Jeff, I'm jacked up to see how this girl runs.... Hope Mrs. Anderson isn't too upset you are borrowing her sheets...
I get enough of her sheet so i'm used to it☻
ref. Min 19.5 The rule for shortening a stud is the same as shortening a bolt -- Put the nut on FIRST and back it over the cut. This straightens out any scar left on the end and makes putting on the nut a breeze.
Jeff love the videos. First time committing but been a subscriber for awhile. I farm near Lynchburg VA. We love our CAT equipment too. Proud to own, operate, and maintain a D7E 48A prefix and 955L 85J prefix.
I really enjoy it when you wrench on your big stuff. Roger Bacon Dutton Ont. Canada
Great video Jeff.Turbo install is coming together nicely.I can see you and Jake really enjoy working together that's great!Never give that up!My dad and I were always doing stuff together.Good time's.
Looking good can't wait to see it run.
What you doing it is NOT an easy .. You Are a Great Man .. Thank You
Those cat exhaust sleeves are a thermo barrier, between exhaust heat and head. I ran without mine once. I seen 10 to 15 degree hotter water jacket temps. I went back to using the sleeves.
Can't wait to see how the Switchblade runs out!
Hi from New Zealand i have that same manifold on a 6nz C15 with a non wastegated turbo. Its working well alot lower Exhaust temps and quicker response. Love your videos mate can't wait for the next one
Can you tell me what kind of Temps you are getting
Jpaydirt with original stock turbo and manifold it was always 1150-1250degf when working hard and around 900 cruising. With the new turbo and manifold it barely gets over a 1000degf pulling down to 1200rpm and cruising it only sits about 700degf. Thats running at 110-120000lbs every load
Thanks from Tribune, KS for the great video! I know where there is a 1693 in a Pete cabover near here if you are interested.
Tom Bondy (Tecumseh Ontario Canada)....really enjoy your videos,and humor,keep up the good work!
Cant wait to hear that KW roar back to life !
Have a MXS 460horse 2007 model in the shop for a plethora of problems. Codes for IVA solenoids (huge surprise), oil pressure 100-110psi cold, snapped exhaust manifold studs, one bad turbo, air compressor leaking oil, peanut cover missing bolts, metric shit ton of blow by, engine is also making oil. The only good thing is it has a brand new radiator and had a coolant flush. Love CAT but this old girl hasn’t been maintained…325,000 miles and change but 22,000 PTO hours…so we hypothesize she has around 850,000 miles if you factor the PTO use. It’s a shit pumper truck and to top off all the above problems, it smells great.
I'll bet you when you get that cat back together it will take you on down the highway. This is old big block out of Richmond Virginia been driving them old trucks for over 30years you take care of your self.
looks like the cat is coming along pretty good..the manifold and turbo look great. nice work jeff
Damen from Saskatoon Saskatewan! Love the c15 videos! Might get into trucking soon
from glasgow scotland great videos keep up the good work
Nice job!! Watching from Las Vegas
i couldn't even guess what labor costs would be if hired out just part of your maintanence. but the chipmunk version is funny as hell !!
Not rebuilding a watch.
Well when the watch blows up. You can throw it away and get new one.
Not so much on the top story of the C15.
O Ring and Seal kits rock. Definitely one of the better ideas out there.
Antiseese....one of the handymans secret weapons.
That Cat engine is lookin sweet and I bet it’s gonna sound even sweeter!!🙂👍 I’m in Southern New Jersey freezing my arse off!!
Jeff---just yesterday I got awful irritated just changing the fuel filter on my 08 Dodge Cummins, it amazes me how you stay cool and calm doing these amazing overhaul and repair jobs. Thanks for showing us your calm and controlled attitude when you have a handful of wrenches in your grubby paws. But sorry--I still don't want to be a mechanic!!.
Can’t wait to see what PSI you get outa it 👍
Sam W probably 45
New manifold looks great!!! Keep the great vids coming. And what about that sweet new tool box? Been super curious about it lol!!!
Great video can’t wait to see how everything works out 👍thanks for sharing
i likeit when you talk like Alvin the chipmounk
Hey Jeff, just sayin hey, from Michigan. Love what ya do and watching your vids. Patrick Swayze said it best, "Ain't nothing like a Catapilar engine".
Great video. Fascinating to watch this rebuild .Jeff
Thanks for the good job on the content. From FSJ BC . Thanks again
Thanks man about that thanks for taking time to tell me about the shout out And the turbo on the KW is looking good
Absolutely love wrenching vids!! I've been busy on 4 cyl cats in chippers this week in the bright texas sunshine finally...
I like how you've cleaned up that engine. Isn't it nice to have some clean stuff now and then?
Love the videos, thanks for taking the time!
Chayce Holweg, Wadena, MN
Just subscribed though I've been watching for awhile.
Love the videos. I'm currently an evening LTL route driver w/a few stops then drop and hook. Learned to drive in one of the best trucking schools in the country. Most my learning was in KW T600/660s with a few others varieties. Couldn't get over the power, sound or feel of a CAT engine. I'm stuck with a bunch of under powered Freightshaker Detroits where I'm at now but they're payin' the bills I guess. Haha
I'm also a trained "high performance engine machinist" so these engines really peak my interest in that department as well. Have only had the chance to work on one CAT in my time machining and it was long before I had the ability to appreciate what they were.
Enough rambling. Thanks for the videos. Keep up the good work!
love your vids. c15is a great performing motor. i only ran acert versions never a single turbo but rarely had issues with them. definitely prefer it over an isx any day of the week
Great Video good work love your Videos
Great Job sir.. you got big ones taking on that job. I love my C15 single turbo in my Motorcoach. Love the vids.. Good luck.
Holy Motorcoach batman! how big is she
Jpaydirt a 2008 it’s 45 ft with a tag axle. . I weigh 60000. It’s A hill flattner . Enjoy your videos sir
Hope the change engine light does not come on when you fire it up.
Looking good...! Tony Pickrell , Bolivar , Missouri , can't wait for u to get that Cat back together and take a load out on it...!!! Lol...! H U R R Y...!!!
You'll love that full tilt manifold I've got one on my 2ws cat
I quit using engine -side thermal couplers after a friend had one break off while changing it and (wouldn't you know) the valve was open and into the engine it went. A simple job turned into an all day affair.
awesome videos love the content and the extra effort you put in the videos. Nathan happy to watch from middle Tennessee
Good video. Cant wait to see you tune that turbo and how it works out on the road. You have me considering one for my engine.
Cool pole position. I let the pros do the tunings good luck. Thanks for the midweek video.from friendship Wisconsin
Love the videos and the busted knuckles . Shawn Rankin up state NY . We've got Cats ....two dump trucks with Cat Engines and my son has a 307C excavator . That new turbo is going to be slick .
🇨🇦 Canada loves your videos 📹
I'm curious if you have checked the back pressure on exhaust before the turbo? Boost may be the same on intake but lower on exhaust, still = better running engine.
You might want to look into getting a CAT plug kit, instead of using paper towels. Keeps debris out and fluid in, in low pressure situations.
im like it yours videos .we are in katy texas. god bless you.
Jeff, I don't wanna find your handy. Have fun. Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant as usual. Hello from Toronto Cheers Joe
love the videos always looking for new ones from you. cant wait to see what kind of psi that turbo is going to make on both the C15 and the D9 mike salma from Pottstown pennsylvania
Great video
Lots of progress. Question; do you need to reflash the computer after switching to a single turbo?
Hmm don't know the answer to that
Anti seize works great on brass fittings ,bolts, and nuts
I really like your videos a boss that knows now to work cat engine kick ass
love them 3406 cats...
You even have a subscriber from " RIPLEY , Believe or Else " .
Good videios , keep em coming , enjoy the dry humor.
Phred Ellis , Ripley , MY .
Gotta love a smart phone . That's Ripley , New York , not Ripley , my
After 3 years with the switchblade turbo do you still love it???
I’m your new friend from Texas 🇺🇸
Welcome
Paint job looks clean
John karenbauer love your videos keep them coming
u need to put those sleeves back in exhaust ports
exactly what i was thinking.. they keep the massive heat of the exhaust off the exhaust port ID and reduce the load on the cooling system
adammt69 they restrict the exhaust. The faster and easiest that exhaust can get out the better the engine will run.
I know i have a diff motor but When I took mine out on a 15.8 L 3406E my jakes lost a lot of braking power, put them back in and it was fine
Excellent video again.
Looking good there bud! Hey regarding never seez, we use a ceramic anti sieze called rock n roll seems to stay put long term on high temp stuff like exhaust. I work on medium speed marine engines, i really enjoy your old cat equipment! Thanks, will in everett wa.
