Shawn is the Man!! Need to Build A crawler For Him after the Jeepster, He's a good dude and a great worker and help around the shop!! keep him around at all costs!! Hunter is a great asset too, he Really gets us good shots with the camera work, and he's really stepped up and became another valuable set of hands around the Shop!! I miss Randall Wish he would pop into the shop more from time to time but I'm sure he's a busy guy.
Paul, the way I see it and in Landon's behalf I think the deer hit Landon. If Landon hit the deer the damage should be in the front , not half way back in the cab. Just saying. Really enjoy your videos, Hunter does a great job as a videographer, along with learning how to mechanic. The fill in camera persons do a fine job also.
I've never hit a deer, but i've been hit by deer twice. Thankfully, there was even less damage than Paul's truck both times. Deer are pretty dang stupid sometimes. 😂
What happens when you hit a deer........ I mean when a deer hits you... is even if you hit him with your front bumper the deer spins around and the legs slam into the side of your truck unless you hit it square in the middle of the bumper. My big old winch bumper saved my grill and radiator but I still wound up with hoof marks in my door. Not nearly as bad as Landon's though!
Hit a 12-point buck (so the Deputy and Trooper told me) with a 97 T-bird. It destroyed the entire front clip, windshield and driver's door. I was not happy at the time. It was a favorite car of mine.
I don't see what the harness has to do with it. Seems that you just have to swap the ECM and add the few wires that make it different and be done with it...
RUclips auto un-subscribed me, that's NOT COOL, thought I lost you guys forever. Everyone check be sure you are subscribed to this channel. Trust me this is the best channel on RUclips, so you gotta stay up to date what these guys are doing.
Watching y'all tackle all these projects I just had to go get my own now I have an 88 YJ with a 350 under the hood that I'm dissecting to see what I got myself into 😂🤙
When i change a big harness like that, i never rip everything out and THEN start putting new stuff in. Too easy to miss/forget connections. I prefer to lay the new harness over top of the old one, then change every connection over one at a time. Easy to tell if you missed anything.
My brother is a journeyman mechanic who does a lot of wiring work. He said the wiring he dreaded was from one ambulance manufacturer. They used blue 14 gauge for everything. Great job in figuring the wiring out
The Fuel Filters; I has an Amsoil by-pass oil filter mounted the same way and .... something was thrown up and punctured the spin-on filter. You'll want to install a mud flap or something to protect it.
I remember adding an oem fog light package to an 09 Ram for a friend. The kit included everything needed and went together pretty fast and easy but they would not work. Come to find out you have to take it back to the dealer so they could tell the truck it had fog lights now and it was ok for the truck's computer to allow them to work. Crazy stuff.
Yes the 3rd the Gen rams have all computer controlled lights and they are very problematic ! Everything is given its signal by a module called a 'TIPM' which lives under the fuse box and is known for failing. Thanks Dodge!! 😂
Them wires, are esactly the same, but differn't And just like a feller does over at Ol' Vice Grip, you gotta just inhale and take in the smoke test when you re-hook the lightning cube back up
I did a manual conversion on my 04.5 Cummins all I did was take the prndl switch and test the resistance for drive and for neutral run it through a relay to have either on or the other on. Use neutral to start and if you have electric transfer case to switch to 4 low. Then use the drive resistance to trick the ecu so that the cruise works.
I used to do automatic transmissions, we visited a BMW dealership and they had a 7 series ( late 90's) that was getting a new body shell and it was totally stripped, it had 7 computers and the heaviest part on the entire vehicle was the wiring loom
I bet Air Dog isn't thrilled with you calling their pump a FASS. 😂 I love my Air Dog. My old Duramax likes not having to suck the fuel all the way up from the tank.
Personally I would have cut an angle on that drawstraw. If close bottom it is possible to suck tight to bottom of tank or to create a “Venturi” effect causing more air to be mixed into fuel.
I too laughed every time I heard "Fast" pump 😂 ...and yes the 'suck straw' is supposed to be cut off at a 45* angle. These guys are great fabricators and I LOVE this channel, but they sure aren't diesel techs 😉 No disrespect, we all have our specialties 👍
Paul, I had much better luck when I installed a sump on the tank to prevent the straw from sucking air when on a slope or changes in speed. My truck is a 2002 with a 35 gallon tank. It's much longer than the tank in this truck.
my opinion the fuel filters is great to have but i would build a bolt -on box for the protection of the fuel filters , the way you drive offroad and climbing rocks , ???
Thank you Landon as many times as I have heard people say a deer jumped out and hit them it's good to hear about somebody actually getting a deer back for all their kinfolk that's jumped out and hit vehicles
Have an air dog fuel system in my Chevy 3500 diesel. the motor on the Air Dog motor died, and it was an off and on thing. I did everything I could to find out why they truck would die without warning. It took 6 months of in and out of the shop to figure it out. It died while in the shop. The only good thing was it was still under warrantee, so it cost me nothing, no problem since.
Soo when I was Landon's age I might have been a little hard on things and seemed to have bad luck. When I finally realized the common issue for all my problems was me and changed how I was handling things, amazingly things started turning around. It wasn't all at once, but the more you think about your actions and take full responsibility when needed the better things get. Things do happen and not everything is your fault. But slowing down and paying attention sure seems to cut down on the "accidents".
Happy New Year Fab Rats! Sorry to hear about the Duramax hopefully you'll get it back soon. Not to worry Grandma Lolly supervised Sean and Hunter until Paul got back. Good job getting the Dodge fixed up and running. Now for the bed! Sean and Hunter are really growing in their experience with these repairs. Good job. Good video!
Very nice! Sometimes wish I would have bought a little older Diesel than what I have, but oh well. Nice to have a couple guys there Paul that can take care of stuff while your out. Thank you for sharing
that job is where tape comes in handy mark all the connectors as you remove them even if your not using the harness .you can always find where they went ,,
The PCM is programmed for an AUTO as well. Passenger side firewall. Coulda left the engine harness alone, trans harness needed to be changed as well. APPS sensor is the same for auto and manual. 🤷♂️ Also don’t need to pull the bed to install a FASS or Airdog, common rails have their lift pumps in the tank. They did away with the engine mounted lift pumps on 2nd gens.
Good to know, I have an 04.5 and got one Severe Duty filter kit, thinking of adding a 2nd kit with water separator and 1st kit is just a filter, then block off the engine side filter, which is very hard to reach. I pulled the fuse box on mine to clean it (lid was lost), can't imagine pulling and swapping all the wiring too. (and than having it run)
Just use some sheet metal screws to attach that pump to the fuel tank. Problem solved. OH, you say it's going to leak. Not if you use RTV to help seal the screws and glue it up. No problems. What could possibly go wrong? Got all the bases covered.
Farm News did a test, on penetrating oil. They found that PB blaster worked well, as well as many others. They tested a home brewed concoction of approximately 50/50 acetone and transmission, worked just as well as the commercial products.
Number one, I love grandma and I love Michelle. As far as I feel they can both be on as much as they want. They just lighten things up when they’re around. Hunter well he’s still pretty much a kid that’s what makes it so fun to have them on there, he does some quirky things and I like it. Paul, what is it with you in the snacks. Actually Paul I’m jealous I can’t eat all those snacks between my high blood pressure and stomach problems. So if you can eat them, enjoy them don’t listen to what anybody else says. Enjoy yourself honest and truly your whole shop is great different personalities. Everybody does things differently, I just love watching the camaraderie of the shop Joe God be with you and bless you all. PS Michelle needs to be on there more, and I love her laugh.
Hmmm, i wonder if you had to swap the whole harness in the dodge? Wires are dumb and only do what the computer tells it to or other modules, i would think changing the computer and a sensor or 2 and maybe a resistor in a few newly unused plugs would do the trick.
Did you switch the sensor and the ecu? Before switching wiring harnesses?... too late... Also a hood mounted camera to give narration to for reassembly. Cheers 🍻
Just installed the same air dog system on my F350. Took me quite some time to do, but mine was a lot of plug in play. Hardest part was getting the wires ran for the harness. You will be happy with it
hello Paul ....I see you guys were putting the draw straw in the tank. I would get a sump to put on the bottom of the tank. I've got three. 2 gen dodge and that's what I've done with mine and I've had no issues with it.
I have used 'FREE' for everything! Locked motors, starting fluid, rusted tools and even wasp killer. I sprayed it into 2 rusted padlocks like 3 years ago and they still work like new! Good stuff.
I had seen the passenger side of the Duramax dented in the 24 hours to hell and back video. I wondered what happened to it. Almost smoked a buck chasing a doe across the road last night up here in MN, late in the year for chasing but sure glad I didn't hit it since I had the FiL truck. Great video as usual, just love watching the projects as I can't do this type of work so it's so much fun for me to see.
That's what i love watching you guys-down in dirty no gains 30 minutes 45 minutes then- "Hey -WhatIF" and suddenly you guys are brim eared smiles galore explaining - "shouldas" :)
Ive done the manual swap on a 5.9 and the same problem is there. I didnt swap the harness or the ecu. I had three things going on. A CEL because the ecu was looking for a transmission sensor, i put a crank sensor in for a manual transmission and wired it into my auto harness. Cruise didnt work and if you tried to engine brake and then hit the clutch it would stall. I think an ecu out of a manual would have solved all those problems and not the wiring harness itself. On the cummins probably the same thing since the only things the ecu controls are charging the batteries and cruise control… EDIT… everything i said was about 2nd gen. I just realized thats a 3rd gen. Lol
Should have just had the ecm flashed to a manual truck file instead of automatic...it's the ecm not harness what we had to do to a buddy's when we nv5600 swapped it
Hey Paul, Way way back in the late 1960’s early 70’s, whenever I worked on my Old Cars, I almost always used my Dad’s Old Chilton Auto Mechanics book to help me figure out what to do. My Dad helped my as much as he could, but he bought that Manual/Book for himself. We figured things out, eventually. Thankful I did not become an Auto Mechanic, I worked almost 50 years in an Air Condition Office. I’m retired now.
Inspired on the wires Paul! My dad once was inspired to buy a fast fuel system for his 24 valve. Never heard of the company before, but the exact name came into his mind!
5:49 In WW2 The guys who repaired the tanks? ... first thing they do after washing out the blood etc. Was take out every last wire, and put in a brand new factory wiring harness! :)
Whoo hoo, get-er-done! Shawn and Hunter tag teaming while the boss is away, no worries, Grandma Lolly's steps up, gives them an extra boost to keep the moral up! It's all about teamwork. Til next time, see you then. ✌️ 😊
What would you estimate it will cost to take a 2005 F150 4x4 4 door. Short box..with blown engine,,,to a rock crawler with 40in. Tires, that will keep up with your Toyota
You guys don't know how lucky you are you can come across all these old trucks. Where I live in canada anything older than 15 years is usually rusted to the door handles.
7:00 'Let's work the problem people, let's not make things worse by guessing'. Would it be altogether too outrageous, to suggest the next wiring harness you disconnect, that maybe you label the connectors? Just a thought 😉👍
Shawn and Hunter did a lot of taking things out and putting it back hoping it would work, Then Paul gets back to fix the Non starting problem and doing a few other things!
FASS is Fuel Air Separator System. I believe Shawn said it right, but graphics people somewhere thought it was FAST. No harm, but thought I’d offer the explanation.
@fabrats Paul go with the redhead steering gearbox on your ram. They are a very well built box with almost no steering play to speak of. I have one on my 07 and it's been good.
I probably shouldn't give her any ideas but, for just a moment I thought Grandma was going to come up behind Sean with a tub of firecrackers, then realized she was cleaning the litter box. Sean and Hunter, awesome work on the harness by the way!
I see the Dodge bedsides rust out in the desert too. A guy tried to sell me a Dodge years ago and I told him Dodge builds the rust in at thee factory. We live on Cape Cod rust is aan issue for all but Dodge rusts best here

Last time they built a jeep for someone he left
Is Shawn even a crawler type of guy
I guess Sean (? how is it correct) is more of truck or muscle car guy
@CostumbresDeMiRancho that was his brother. Watch a little more before you start throwing accusations
Hunter and grandma Lollie sure dish it back and forth. It’s fun, and I want to commend Hunter on being a gentleman while dishing out friendly fire.
Yeah you can tell hunter comes from good stock lol
Sean and Hunter jumped right on that wiring harness like they weren't even skeered. 🤣🤣🤣Great job.
😂 this was a good chuckle

When Paul said he was a wiring genius I was expecting him to be on the Phone with Chad 😂😂😂😂😂
Shawn is a big plus for Fabrats getting things done when the boss is gone !
He's definitely working away on stuff, always surprised
Well Friday and Wednesday vids Paul is NEVER there
Lots of work by Shawn, Hunter with Grandmas supervision!!!!!!!! Happy New Year to all !
Oh more fun projects. Those FASS pumps are awesome. And better filtration too!!!
I don't see what the harness has to do with it. Seems that you just have to swap the ECM and add the few wires that make it different and be done with it...
It looks like a deer hit Landon...unless he was drifting towards the deer.

Not a job that I would want to tackle. Shawn and Hunter did a fantastic job changing the wiring harness.
Grandma Lollie taking the cat box for a walk, priceless. Got the RAM going now just a few little things to finish up . Thanks for sharing
Just a FYI. FASS and Air dog are 2 brands of lift pumps. That's an Air Dog, not a fast or FASS.
Good morning everyone and thumbs UP to Fab Rats!
Where is Michelle? Just sayin.
Sean and Hunter did amazing, there's a hundred shops that would hire them in a heartbeat. Good work, you guys are incredible.
If you just ground the clutch switch the computer will always think the clutch is pushed in and the cruise control won’t work
Watching y'all tackle all these projects I just had to go get my own now I have an 88 YJ with a 350 under the hood that I'm dissecting to see what I got myself into 😂🤙

@450rbronco great point, I cringed when I saw him make a straight cut. @fabrats check that 1st if you wind up with fuel delivery issues !! God bless
Swapping out the several wiring harnesses - impressive. Finding jut the right two wires to reverse - that's either dumb luck or absolutely amazing!
Paul, I had much better luck when I installed a sump on the tank to prevent the straw from sucking air when on a slope or changes in speed. My truck is a 2002 with a 35 gallon tank. It's much longer than the tank in this truck.

This isn't a rock crawler.
That’s a lot of Nightmare wire work Sean, but you and Hunter got it done. Great job.🤙😎

''Stick a fork in us, were done... for the day.'' Excellent!
If don’t have a fast on another flatbed I am going to advise getting the filter heater. Mine gels up every damn winter.

Grandma Lolly just a busy bee...love it.
Shawn and Hunter dis awesome with that wiring and all...Paul saved the day...well done.
Since ur using a draw straw i wouldn’t go below 1/8th of a tank because fuel moves around wayy to much which will have the truck begin to suck air.
The PCM is programmed for an AUTO as well. Passenger side firewall. Coulda left the engine harness alone, trans harness needed to be changed as well.

I pulled the fuse box on mine to clean it (lid was lost), can't imagine pulling and swapping all the wiring too. (and than having it run)
@@baumsquad222 missed that part. 👌
My 03 had the lift pump on the back of the filter housing on the engine. They switched to an intank lift pump mid 2004.
Today's a good day. My loaded tool roll came in today and to top it off a fresh video. Can't beat that
Just use some sheet metal screws to attach that pump to the fuel tank. Problem solved. OH, you say it's going to leak. Not if you use RTV to help seal the screws and glue it up. No problems. What could possibly go wrong? Got all the bases covered.
Farm News did a test, on penetrating oil. They found that PB blaster worked well, as well as many others. They tested a home brewed concoction of approximately 50/50 acetone and transmission, worked just as well as the commercial products.
In the event yall do aner lift pump install I highly recommend the bean machine sump. Drill a hole in the bottom of the tank super easy.

It's been awhile since the gray dodge has made an appearance on the channel. Fass pump or air dog makes a big difference on diesel trucks.
Give it a high-yaw!!!! My 1st gen with with that hy35w (turbo for an early common rail) will make 40, with waste gate closed and removed).
Hmmm, i wonder if you had to swap the whole harness in the dodge? Wires are dumb and only do what the computer tells it to or other modules, i would think changing the computer and a sensor or 2 and maybe a resistor in a few newly unused plugs would do the trick.
I’ve used Bars Power Steering Repair and have fixed a lot of steering box leaks.
Did you switch the sensor and the ecu? Before switching wiring harnesses?... too late...
Also a hood mounted camera to give narration to for reassembly. Cheers 🍻
Wow that intercooler has a perfect outline of the grill where its protected.
Awesome.Thanks for sharing and taking us along.
I use good old trusty kroil oil and occasionally freeze off
Wiring harness problems are the worst! Glad you got it sorted out, Paul!
Rust inhibitor… as a member of the rust belt, I fully subscribe to Fluid Film. It stays and it works phenomenally well.
What page in that book is called Emergency Brake or E-brake?
I can't find it in my book either.
We use Fluid film for rust. Works awesome
Just installed the same air dog system on my F350. Took me quite some time to do, but mine was a lot of plug in play. Hardest part was getting the wires ran for the harness. You will be happy with it
I don't know how but Shawn and Hunter actually made installing a wiring harness entertaining. 😂
Does that model of Cummings, have the grid heater bolt problem?
That will be a very useful truck. Good job
for cold weather driving zip tie the fuel line to the exhaust system
hello Paul ....I see you guys were putting the draw straw in the tank. I would get a sump to put on the bottom of the tank. I've got three.
2 gen dodge and that's what I've done with mine and I've had no issues with it.
That's the most frustrating thing; when the factory sends you stuff that THEY screwed up on (switched wires). No quality control anymore.
Brush ON RUST orthophosphoric acid, let it be half hour and check... Should be easy accessable.
@Fab Rats; Hay Paul, Remember Randel... Hai-Yaha :) Sorry Landon :)
I have used 'FREE' for everything! Locked motors, starting fluid, rusted tools and even wasp killer. I sprayed it into 2 rusted padlocks like 3 years ago and they still work like new! Good stuff.
Where to get it?
@@Highbakker I got it through a supplier that brought lubricants to the shop I work at. If I can get more information I'll post it for you.
Is that why the front left headlight is burnt out on the duramax?
The fass is supposed to mount below the filler neck on the outside of the frame
Good luck with the steering gear box when you do that I had a 04 ram 2500 for 16 years that I had to replace the steering gear box like 5 or 6 times
I had seen the passenger side of the Duramax dented in the 24 hours to hell and back video. I wondered what happened to it. Almost smoked a buck chasing a doe across the road last night up here in MN, late in the year for chasing but sure glad I didn't hit it since I had the FiL truck.

Ive done the manual swap on a 5.9 and the same problem is there. I didnt swap the harness or the ecu. I had three things going on. A CEL because the ecu was looking for a transmission sensor, i put a crank sensor in for a manual transmission and wired it into my auto harness. Cruise didnt work and if you tried to engine brake and then hit the clutch it would stall. I think an ecu out of a manual would have solved all those problems and not the wiring harness itself.
On the cummins probably the same thing since the only things the ecu controls are charging the batteries and cruise control…
EDIT… everything i said was about 2nd gen. I just realized thats a 3rd gen. Lol
Should have just had the ecm flashed to a manual truck file instead of automatic...it's the ecm not harness what we had to do to a buddy's when we nv5600 swapped it
Hey Paul, Way way back in the late 1960’s early 70’s, whenever I worked on my Old Cars, I almost always used my Dad’s Old Chilton Auto Mechanics book to help me figure out what to do. My Dad helped my as much as he could, but he bought that Manual/Book for himself. We figured things out, eventually. Thankful I did not become an Auto Mechanic, I worked almost 50 years in an Air Condition Office. I’m retired now.
So everyone is going to stay another day or two. Well count your blessings amen.
What was the stuff in the can you used to get the goose-ball out?
I agree with other commenters we need a crawler rig for Shawn. FabRats crew should do a full crew off-road trip.
Thanks for the video, hanging out at the hospital with mom so much needed distraction
Hang In There! Hope Your Mom's Ok!🙏🏼
Happy new year @TheFabRats 2024 is going to be a great year for the Fab Rats and I am ready to watch all the videos keep up the hard work guys.
😊

Inspired on the wires Paul!
My dad once was inspired to buy a fast fuel system for his 24 valve. Never heard of the company before, but the exact name came into his mind!
Hey, New guy, Shorn, Shawn whatever, your enthusiasm and positive outlook have really inspired me. Excuse me now, I'm just off to top myself.
5:49 In WW2 The guys who repaired the tanks? ... first thing they do after washing out the blood etc. Was take out every last wire, and put in a brand new factory wiring harness! :)
Whoo hoo, get-er-done! Shawn and Hunter tag teaming while the boss is away, no worries, Grandma Lolly's steps up, gives them an extra boost to keep the moral up! It's all about teamwork. Til next time, see you then. ✌️ 😊
What would you estimate it will cost to take a 2005 F150 4x4 4 door. Short box..with blown engine,,,to a rock crawler with 40in. Tires, that will keep up with your Toyota
Chad's Fab fired fabrats good ol'boys got this no worries 21:02
You guys don't know how lucky you are you can come across all these old trucks. Where I live in canada anything older than 15 years is usually rusted to the door handles.
7:00 'Let's work the problem people, let's not make things worse by guessing'.
Would it be altogether too outrageous, to suggest the next wiring harness you disconnect, that maybe you label the connectors?
Just a thought 😉👍
Sean and Hunter did a fantastic job on that wiring!! That stuff is over my pay grade for sure!!
Shawn and Hunter did a lot of taking things out and putting it back hoping it would work, Then Paul gets back to fix the Non starting problem and doing a few other things!
Need to change that steering over to the 09 and newer inverted T style man.
FASS is Fuel Air Separator System. I believe Shawn said it right, but graphics people somewhere thought it was FAST. No harm, but thought I’d offer the explanation.
Nice to see you using that step / ladder that you can lay on. Thats one of the coolest tools ya got in the shop.
@fabrats Paul go with the redhead steering gearbox on your ram. They are a very well built box with almost no steering play to speak of. I have one on my 07 and it's been good.
I probably shouldn't give her any ideas but, for just a moment I thought Grandma was going to come up behind Sean with a tub of firecrackers, then realized she was cleaning the litter box. Sean and Hunter, awesome work on the harness by the way!
I see the Dodge bedsides rust out in the desert too. A guy tried to sell me a Dodge years ago and I told him Dodge builds the rust in at thee factory. We live on Cape Cod rust is aan issue for all but Dodge rusts best here
