Replacing the engine in the Ram Promaster city project
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 апр 2021
- Last time we explored our newest build and pulled the entire drivetrain (some of which was in piles in the van). Now it is time to get our new engine mounted up to the trans and back in the little Promonster so we can stop pushing it everywhere.

The attention to detail along with the sarcasm make your channel better than 99.9% of the garbage they put on tv!
Keep these great videos coming Scott
Thanks for the support. I always have plenty of sarcasm to share!
I look forward to Friday at 3PM (EST) for one reason. And the fact that it is payday is not the reason...lol
CLICK!
@@vehcor lla
@@vehcor you say that like sarcasm is a GOOD thing lol No one has ever said, I like Scott cuz he is SO sarcastic.
the "clicks" of your "torque wrench" are priceless....
I learned that as a kid and it still makes me smile.
@@vehcor Here I thought it was AvE!
@@vehcor A friend of mine from back in the '70s was a motor head, he had the same click for his bolt torquing. He had a '68 Hemi Super Bee.
I use that ''click'' a lot now, oh and I also use the now famous '' In the pile'' too. LOL
Two hugga dugga's are always the correct torque :)
I really enjoy the way you do your vids. No annoying music, just the sound of work being done with a thoughtful overdub of the procedures in editing.
I know you said you’re a mechanic, but I’ve gotten so used to seeing you do body work that is weird to see you take apart the drive train and put it back together, but enjoyed watching you work nonetheless. Always fun to watch another Vehcor video and it was fun to see Mr Spotty without the masking tape. Lol
Actually, he is still more of a mechanic than body guy since be does not do putty / paint. A body guy ( painting gnome ) does that part of the build.
Entombed Mr.Spotty instantly starts haunting the engine bay. Figures...
I bet mr. Spotty asked for a raise for having to be used on the flywheel.
Starts without pissing fluids out everywhere... that's a win. Ship it! LOL
One thing i've learned over the years. Parts cars are awesome. There is always something you'll end up needing you didn't think you'd need.
Mr. Spottys friend the train rolls by... seems like Mr. Spotty wants a "indefinite vacation"🤣
Thanks as always for the comedic relief - I'm about to graduate and I look forward to this to destress each Friday!
Ahhhh the Picasso of sarcasm,a Friday highlight😎
Just got done work.. and it was hard eating dinner watching. Thanks for the laughs! Stay safe and be well.
It’s funny that I give these videos almost better attention than the few tv shows I watch like Law and Order “Organized Crime”...etc.
12:20 Mr Spotty's troll train when rolling by and blowing the horn outside the shop again! Naughty him!
Now he is going to spend eternity in the engine as punishment! 😂
No, thats Eric O's breke kleen delivery at south main auto.
Mr spotty it's gona get motion sick there 😂
Either you have an above excellent memory, or a rash of manuals. I would never remember which bracket went where.
Another great job by Scott at Vehcor.
Thanks for sharing.
Or he filmed himself taking it apart.
I’m always impressed at the lack of cuss words. I can’t change my wiper blades without dropping half a dozen F bombs. Always look forward to Friday’s for these videos
its called editing... lol
Had to do my rotors that I've been putting off today. It was a sailor's kind of day in my garage
@@FlyingFalcon77 I replaced my door pins the other day.
I could've made a sailor wash my mouth out with soap
Hello Scott, it's always a pleasure to follow your videos.
I look forward to them every week! Roland from Belgium.
Thanks for the support! Best wishes from the USA!
No one wants melted nuts is the quote of the day. I'm glad I wasn't taking a drink of a beverage when you said that or it might have came out my nose!
Lovely Jubbly, humour is to die for.
I could really use a stupid shield. You should sell those!
Well if you can't fix stupid shielding against it is the next best thing!
Cant we all. There is plenty of stupid going around! Bad thing is, I could see Mrs. Wes using the stupid shield against you...lol
Thanks for sending me over here Wes, late model snaps-together rebuilds are a lot of fun!
What a lovely little converter bolt access hole. For a minute I thought you were doing the old converter still bolted dismount.
I unbolted that in the last video when it was up in the air.
I like the get to the job without a ton of dramatic B.S. during the build. Down to earth. Plus it's good to see someone that knows what they're doing. Thanks.
that module on the weird double bracket is for the transmission, it's got the ZF logo on it. Thank you for another great video!
The next guy to take apart the trans and sees Mr. Spotty will say, "someones BEEN here before".
Thank you. Never delete your channel/videos 🙌
27:40 The support bracket is for if the exhaust pipe breaks for some reason, the it will not hit the ground and get tangled up under the car.
Wow putting an engine and trans in a vehicle and the leaves on the trees were the same color when you finished as when you started. I think I need to step it up a few notches.
Its so satisfying when you do a job like this and it starts on the key,the other scenario is best not thought about but we've all been there 😀
I wait all week for your videos and they are definitely worth the wait!!!
You make it look easy, Scott, your skill is second to none, I work for a utility company in Northern Illinois, I swear I passed you in the dirtnali on Lamont rd , last week.
The sounds of a Milwaukee burp gun pulling bolts to factory torque accompanied by astute sarcasm makes for a Musak free video and twice as enjoyable.
Welcome to Italian engineering where the key phrase is:
"She fit where she touch!"
Good Video Scott with the right amount of sarcasm & wit, GMC, Ford etc must love you 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Vehcor, very cool.
Thanks!
Always look forward to Friday.
I always look forward to your friday builds ! Nice job.
Pacing the floors waiting on tomorrow's video.
The more I watch your videos, the more I feel confident in fixing up a a project car myself.
Great video. Love your work ethic and attention to doing thing right.
Nice change of content. Thank you for sharing.
How you know where all the fasteners go amazes me.
Excellent video as always Scott 👍🏻
I've never seen this model of Ram in New Zealand. We have a surprising number of these on the road, usually as company cars, considering how much they cost. They start at NZ $94,000 to $122,000. The median income here is $53,000 and a Toyota Land Cruiser is about $70,000. So you can imagine at that price these are prestige cars and so are usually only bought buy companies to put their logo on.
Most of these end up wrapped or lettered for companies. The are pricey for what they are.
Dude you saved my life with a few things.. this build makes no sense to me and I hate it more than anything I worked on.. I’m so happy you’re one of the only people one the internet that actually speaks speaks English clearly. You are the fucking man!
I didn’t take the route you did for rebuild. I actually went ahead to reman the motor, broke the bell housing on install (no idea what happened) so I went ahead and did a full trans service as well. Took 2 months to get all the parts and work done… dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.
yay more vids, since I'm not feeling all so good this helps me feel better.
Hope you feel better soon!
@@vehcor thanks very much, I hope I do too.
Get well soon!!!
@@scarface-39 Thanks for the well wishes, I hope you are well.
@@buffsheeri all is well my friend!!
Scott, I must commend you for all you know in tearing down something and being able to put it back together. I know you have a system or even you couldn't do it.
Vitamin S. Sarcasm. You have helped my Corvair restoration with your skills and sarcasm. Keep going! Thx.
Fun to watch as always!
It's the ZF TCM for the 9HP48 transmission. It's made in Greencourt for ZF and Chrysler make it under licence. Same transmission fundamentals are used in Land Rover Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque. In the Land Rover applications, it pulls away in 2nd and uses 1st as a low gear off road. The Chrysler version pulls away in first and probably never sees 9th.
Lots of fun watching.
I've wanted one of those to turn into a camper
Good job as always!
Friday night treat! Love the vids soooo much!
You make things look so easy.
Awesome video, Scott!
Thanks!
Good video thanks Scott .
Top job as usual, love to be able to do this.
Nice work 👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing video ❤
Amazing video, can't wait for more videos.
Thanks!
5:53 Strongest, hardest working, power plant that will ever be in this engine compartment.
😂
Great work Scott. Mr. Spotty :D
Very interesting, much different than the usual body work etc. Thanks for the lessons..
Thanks, sometimes rebuilds require a mechanic! 😂
Thanks for the videos watch them alot
I'm always in waiting for your videos
from the Netherlands thanks for the video
Another great video with awesome content. 👌
Entertaining video. I saw the Dejana(custom truck/van manufacturer) sticker on the door frame. Fun fact, I work about a mile from their factory. Now you know. Keep up the videos!
you educate me that a good mechanic is priceless,..... Also just what it does take to repair a modern car or truck,.... thanks for the education.
Good job thank you for sharing
Great work
South main auto will appreciate this one. Great video as always.
Liked the motor in the middle best 👌easy to get to most everything
Since you are rebuilding this van, I'm sure it will be a better build than Dodge did. If....I mean when the trans goes out, Mr. Spotty will be there waiting to get out haha! We have 10 of these vans at work and they leak coolant, leak power steering fluid, don't shift well, a couple with sway bar/ball joint issues, and have noisy brakes. Good luck with the project. Keep up the great videos!
Great as always 👌
Thanks!
Thanks for the video!
No problem, thanks for watching!
Looking good 👍🏼
Mid-engine Promaster... Now that's pretty funny stuff right there! :-) I have to say I look forward to Friday's to see your videos, keep up the great work!
Another great video. Very well done. Enjoy that there is no silly background music.
Good stuff.
Good job
Once again, you demonstrate your versatility by tackling another non-GM vehicle, well done Scott ! Now about that Mustang !
That just cost us a another week.
Dang I thought we were building a mid engine van, thank you for your videos really enjoy watching.
great job. You made it look much easier that it was. That I am sure of.
European connections and snap on cordless tools keep up the great work
"Paranormal activities 3,2,1" that was hilarious 😆 🤣
Snap On ugga-dugga gun? Big time!
Always waiting for a new video to pop up, even though I've been watching your channel for a few weeks now. I did a similar job to your dropping the engine on a 2014 Ford Taurus just to replace the internal water pump 😬
Hámster power.
I trow up the Mate here in Argentina.
Good luck with the fiat Doblo
Your not lazy,you work smarter not harder😎😎😎
Ahhh the satisfying *click* of the torque wre....HAAAAAAAAYYYYY!
This "Ram" has brought the "Boring" in Boring Build Friday to new heights!!! You are the only thing that makes it most watch worthy. I had to drive one of these for a couple years and can attest to the "would not take it if they gave it to me" qualities of this P.O.S. I had to drive it like a go cart because of the horrible transmission lagging and pausing. Floorboard till you are up to speed and then let off. You definitely have to drive it like you assume it is going to quit on you at any moment.
It will make somebody a nice work van when completed .. The front brakes sure do look like ones of a Vermont vehicle LOL
I wanna keep it but the afternoon crew says it cannot be my daily. I better get my brake job hammer out!
U loved puzzle's as a kid!
As a chrysler tech you did great other than cleaning the grounding terminals and points chrysler has alot of ground issues on these particular engine/trans combos leaving one head starching during diag because crossover grounding
I bet you wish you had left the Headlamp out to get at the PAS ;) Love the way that you do work
It's pretty much as my Merchant marine first engineer Grandfather taught me (Y)
Thanks for sharing and Welcome to my world of working on European cars!!
Cars and comedy.......... Where have I seen that before?!?
Nice work as always! We have them here in Europe as Fiat Doblo, but unfortunatelly not with the 1298 hamster power engine...They usually are multijet diesels.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 great job🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
@6:15 you remind me of Vin Diesel from fast and furious working on the supra from inside the engine bay 😂😂😂
Where is Mr. Spotty? You need supervision. Another great video.
You see the bolt hole that wasn’t round 13:46 on the flex plate, find that one start/tighten it first and you’re good to go.
You seem to know where every clip, nut, bolt,tab rubber bushung is located on any vehicle you touch. Master mechanic or mind reader from the corporation. Great video and I don't own a dodge. Enjoy
