gas in diesel.. you can put 20% gas in diesel.. at least.. all it does is go a hell of a lot better.. but, dont do it every day. a friend put gas in his tank,& not knowing,cost him over 600 bucks, get it drained,towed,ect.. its not an issue.. bad diesel, is fixed with gas
you two are awesome couple iv been happily married for 1.5 years know I'm looking to buy a plow truck what would you recommend for a plow truck? I live in st johnsbury Vermont
I own a launch x341. I'm very pleased with the tool. A free 2 year update. My 2 years went quickly. But I took advantage of the free updates. The kicker is the $550.00 fee each year for updates after the 2 years is up. I think the other scanners are only 1 year free update.

After a three week long vacation off grid first priority is watching Wes, Matt and Squatch383 updates.... Don´t want a therapist to analyze that. But in my mind I can´t find a better way spending time neglecting watering plants, vacuming etc.
Love the channel, the content, your honesty, One comment, Please wear your seat belt, even on short test drives. Your family will thank you for it! If the light was broken or the belt was broken, brand me as mistaken. God Bless!
You’re a genius. I saw your video because the same thing just happened to my 2001 cummins. Started it tonight, it ran for about 5 seconds, sputtered and quit. Then I couldn’t restart it. 😭
what a show we had drama, comdy, romance,and a brief action adventure with the dog. as for counting/math. the go to answer is "i was using the new old math" or is it the "old new math". as long as the repair bill math is right it's all good. stay well
I am with you. I wouldn't want to work on one of those either. Your lovely, long suffering assistant is also very patient and forgiving since she didn't tear into you for outing her in the video, or did she. Those rust hiders are also good rust makers since they hold the salt water and dirt to speed along the corrosion. I am usually not so lucky with dropped tools. I have had to replace several sockets because they fell and disappeared forever. Don't know how they do that. You can see where they fell but you cannot find them.
@macgvrs Theory: Most vehicles contain a portal into another dimension. Like a black hole with a particular attraction for things in free fall - or somethin'. 🤔 Anyhow, it's one reasonable explanation. 😉
Watching you work is a absolute pleasure, Some "friendly" teasing" may bite you in the neck one day, but the missus seem to handle you well Your comments are still top of the class
Top marks bro call yourself out for your mistake I’m the same way and I would have been mad just like you were and had to admit it was my fault ultimately. Keep it up Wes
I gotta say I'm liking the way they put the dipstick on top. My new F150 2.7 v8 has a terrible dipstick set up you can reach it but it's hard to pull out and then you can't read how much oil is in it because it smudges when you pull it out.
Could it just be, that there are more of these in your area then you think? My guess is you don't work on them often because the Cummins is a much better and easier to work on then the more complex powerstroke and Duramax's!
Having seen your work at what you do, I must say thank God for great and honest mechanics. Many blessings to you both and a long life ahead. Thank you.
I guess this experience will help you remember to say something specific like, "Put the key into the run position, but do NOT turn the engine over." 😂 I'm glad that didn't end up being an issue though!
I believe the gear you pulled loose from the VP44 pump never comes fully disengaged from the cam gear. That's why it doesn't fall down into the timing case when you pull the pump out. So when you wife hit the starter it stayed clocked to the crank and didn't lose timing. I'm guessing you had to bar the engine over to bring the keyway back to 12 o'clock? Nice job BTW. I have an '02 Dodge/Cummins that looks almost identical to that one...minus the rust. I don't envy you guys in the rust belt! Just subscribed.
I have a 2002 with the same engine and had the same problem. Dealer elimated the side mounted lift pump and did an upgrade with pump in the tank. It was covered in warranty, which is normally a $3500 fix. Haven't had another problem since.
So...did Max ever get the critter? Another exercise in frustration, you are a very patient man Wes. Working in the engine bay reminded me of my Citroen ID 69: you couldn't get a screwdriver down into the engine because everything was crammed in so tight. I use to say it's an engineers dream but a mechanic's nightmare. Great video Wes, thumbs up.
Great explanations Wes! I learned something which is always my goal of watching. I need to get one of those top side creepers! Last time I worked on my Ford, I bruise my chest all up on the latch etc. It’s nice when you drop something, that it hits the floor instead of getting lost somewhere else. Truck worth doing body! As to your assistant messing up, just remember she forgave you for scratching up her dishwasher! LOL!
Great video just a couple things the owner should have done, First he should of had you change the tappet cover gasket while pump was out, if it wasn't leaking, it will be soon, 2nd, the in the tank pumps or a FASS pump are 100% better. The engine vibration kills those side mounted pumps. I have a 2001 with only one Injection pump changed at 86K under warranty, failed lift pump was the cause, new lift pump was put into tank in 2005, and now truck has over 430K and still running strong on those same pumps. I do have a lift pump pressure gauge, so guess it's 3 things. LOL Keep up the great videos.
Those pumps look pretty intimidating to me. I remember all the hype on the 5.9 engine being better than pockets on shirts and on some certain days of the month you get the drift. Anyway that is a plug for any older mechanic such as myself to not want or find the need to buy a diesel if its going to cost six thousand dollars to get the parts and even if it takes in labor too, I would not give that kind of money to see it fail again. I happen to be aware that the wiring under the dash is enough to power small cities in my time. So just swapping the cabin to a rust free truck is a minor part of fixing one through replacement. Copart has thousands of those trucks... many look very nice and you think well, I can fix the engine or transmission, after all, its Chrysler we are talking here. And now the standard transmission has gone by the wayside for whatever reason. Starting to make a ford look a little better all the time. You get into a new ford and its like a millionaire's home opposed to the poor bastards how did you even drive it seventies any rig. My biggest complaint is the ten pounds of crap in the five pound bag. Either build a engine that leaves room under the hood for service or build a bigger truck. They do beed rolls in the fenderwells, then take a photo of it and for every little spot where the fender flares out is a part that makes this a vehicle that runs. All companies do it. I miss the ford 300 six or the leaning tower of power. With all the sensors on them, you would that they are filming Cleopatra. I just haven't made it to the twenty first century I guess. I bought the most bell whistle included fancy everything 95 ford f350 and I was so happy till I got older and couldn't climb that tower of horse manure bumper and other to even check the oil. I was mad and traded in while I was for a ford explorer the same year. My truck needed a new starter to roll the engine over fast enough to run. It really was that simple to just replace it but I'm 72, a cripple that can't walk and since stroke only left arm works. Yes this is hunt and peck. Even though I live in alaska, that truck looked like it lived in Dallas Texas. Not even a little blister bubble of rust on the cab corners and yes I am suffering traders remorse. Later Wes.. good video, nice to not see the two of you throw daggers at each other
@@Threesixtyci What are you talking about? The factory lift pump is junk and causes the not great but still ok injection pump to fail, other than that the 24v is just as bullet proof as the 12v.
Professional job as expected still surprises me when u drop something u don't curse u have way more 👍 patience than I do and ur towing crew is better than mine too
I have the launch scan tool. For me it is a decent diagnostic tool. Once I got use to it its quite easy to use. After the first update it does update quickly in the future.
that fuel looks like old morning pee... and yeah, I've experienced the "turn the key on, don't start" and next thing you hear is the engine cranking... fun fun!
sounded like a true cold start after the install on first start. Ugh.....i hate the thought of winter coming... Excellent job Wes and thanks for the video
Ive never understood the negligence when it comes to oil spraying a vehicle in the salt belts.Been rustproofing my whole life,it works well.Dirty for a mechanic,but cheaper in the long run.
By the time you see this it will be long gone. Don't worry with that lift pump it will be back haha. No substitute for a fass or airdog. I've had a few of these trucks. Once you sort out their little issues they are great.
Nice work Wes.. words were said, your still married (as far as we know) and the truck started just fine so it was another success. I get help from two helpers that sometime "help" more than they should, but hey you move on and get the job done.
Nice explanation, l never see no body cran it with out connecting intake pipe , your the best, thank you for your well explained , don’t get mad at your beautiful wife she never meant to turn engine on ,at least you have your complement “ Wife” you both are the beautiful cople , congratulation ! God bless your family and bissnes , God bless us all and protect us and we continue to praying for lsrael and Ukrainian peace and freedom to themselves.❤🎉😢 great job.
Excellent video Wes :) also yes some vechile can be pain to repair on also Desiel to do on and think Desiel truck never rust because oil in fumes plus hot run too ! But they don't and lots trucks do rust bad hear in Ontario Canada lots too and be any make or models too!
Only one God Wes, lol I hope you have a wonderful morning today and whatever you are working on is going smoothly and I hope you have no issues whatsoever today.
Just be careful about how you position yourself on that creeper. A buddy had 3 of his guys go down with hyper-extended knees from using those. He modified one so you put your lower body weight on your knees rather than standing and it seems to be working much better.
That launch tool seems like they put a real weak processor and ram. That and the bluetooth connection may be poor for how long things took. So putting a bunch of heatsinks on the electronic parts and pump you should be good
@@WatchWesWork If you drive a VP44, you need a fuel pressure gauge-Unless you like putting out $3,000 because a lousy $150 pump went belly-up.. Tell your customers it is like a religion. You always momitor your fuel pressure.
I have a similar truck, mine's a standard cab with the base diesel. Still original transfer pump, but on it's second injection pump, the first one went bad about the time we changed to ultra low sulfur diesel, I suspect that the biodiesel I was running at the time didn't help. Since then, I use Howes fuel additive on every tank.
Here in California we get taxed for those families that decide not to work and have many kids aka starts with a W and ends with a E and fuel is at 5 bucks a gal. But we definitely don't have issues with body panels, rockers, and frame becoming brittle lol. I guess most of us have to deal with something 🙄
I would think that the wifey unit with the Masters degree should drive the forklift and the other guy should muscle the truck into position. I did hold my breath listening to hear how far the wrench would fall. jack
Haha I just picked up a topside creeper last week. I work at a chevy dealership and the new trucks are so damn tall now and I'm 5 '7" so laying and sitting on the radiator was my only option
at 26:07 god does that butchered "quick" connect bring back some nightmares. even worse when it's a shop car and the boss insist we save it while it's tucked into the most fucked spot you can think of. they work real great, until they don't.
Wes working on a cummins, what more could you ask for! Big fan of the cummins QSB 6.7 engines in comparison to Volvo Scania etc, never had a chance to work on a 24V 5.9 but they seem pretty good too.
maybe I’m just lucky… But I just rolled over 400,000 miles on my 2006 Nissan Titan. This is my second Titan to get over 350,000 with nothing but oil changes and a carrier bearing change. Both still running strong. They had less than 20,000 miles when I bought them in 2007 I don’t know JACK SHIT about vehicles. but I’ve done all the work myself. I was trained as a machinist…. But spent the past 15 years with my own lab. Focused mostly on component level board repairs….for industrial and govt clients. And a bit of test equipment repair and metrology…to keep me humble. I work on crazy complicated shit every day…. But understanding automobiles, and how all the systems interact with each other…. That shit is way above my pay grade!! The key to a long lasting truck…. no matter what brand…. drive it like a grandma. And preferably don’t buy Ford, Chevy, or Dodge 😁🤷♂️ don’t shoot the messenger

Theres a special plug controller you plug straight to the module on top of vp44 and you supply power directly to idle truck
Vp44 can only be elcipsed in unreliability by the Cat Heui pump. Both have serious short comings.
Don't know why but there's nothing like the feeling of cracking off an injector pipe.

“I was given poor instruction as always!”…….that sounds a little too familiar. Another great video!
Launch products get a lot of updates….I guess that’s a good thing….
Good work Wes
FEEL THE LOVE!
Nice job Wes!
Nice JD Wes!
Here in California we get taxed for those families that decide not to work and have many kids aka starts with a W and ends with a E and fuel is at 5 bucks a gal. But we definitely don't have issues with body panels, rockers, and frame becoming brittle lol. I guess most of us have to deal with something 🙄
Why not turn the keyway back to its original position, since your 'assistant' turned it by turning over the engine before you pushed the truck out.
I would think that the wifey unit with the Masters degree should drive the forklift and the other guy should muscle the truck into position.
I did hold my breath listening to hear how far the wrench would fall.

Once again a great video Wes, Thanks.
In the same time it took you to get a pump off, I would take both heads and the intake off of pre 70 car.
OK. But you'd still have a pre 70s boat when you got done...
Misses, Wes , ordered a tee shirt to support you guys.
Haha I just picked up a topside creeper last week. I work at a chevy dealership and the new trucks are so damn tall now and I'm 5 '7" so laying and sitting on the radiator was my only option
try using a open hand when you using a rachet
at 26:07 god does that butchered "quick" connect bring back some nightmares. even worse when it's a shop car and the boss insist we save it while it's tucked into the most fucked spot you can think of. they work real great, until they don't.
Nice job guys both lookin happy at the end😄🇮🇪
Great job Wes, thanks for sharing.
Good job!
There was no pressure until you stopped cranking, I'm assuming that's a problem?
Yes. It's not right.
Wes working on a cummins, what more could you ask for! Big fan of the cummins QSB 6.7 engines in comparison to Volvo Scania etc, never had a chance to work on a 24V 5.9 but they seem pretty good too.
Max cracks me up with his mouse hunting. Did you find the mouse?
maybe I’m just lucky… But I just rolled over 400,000 miles on my 2006 Nissan Titan.
This is my second Titan to get over 350,000 with nothing but oil changes and a carrier bearing change. Both still running strong. They had less than 20,000 miles when I bought them in 2007
I don’t know JACK SHIT about vehicles. but I’ve done all the work myself.
I was trained as a machinist…. But spent the past 15 years with my own lab. Focused mostly on component level board repairs….for industrial and govt clients. And a bit of test equipment repair and metrology…to keep me humble.
I work on crazy complicated shit every day…. But understanding automobiles, and how all the systems interact with each other…. That shit is way above my pay grade!!
The key to a long lasting truck…. no matter what brand…. drive it like a grandma.
And preferably don’t buy Ford, Chevy, or Dodge 😁🤷♂️ don’t shoot the messenger
Hold on.. The room is spinning.. Lol!
