In Alberta Canada we are getting 1/2 inch in 10 minutes it’s definitely more rain then we had last year
Any rain is welcomed. Also, I want to thank you guys. My mother passed away back on February 10th due to the side effects of a stroke. Your content has helped me alot.
@@dkasper0063 sorry for your loss, hang in there buddy!
This week on Vice Grip Garage a fella goes out to Montana to help the Welkers with their goin to town rig
Watching guys that have way more experiencd than me discuss and try to diognose is what i love. So i deffinatly enjoyed the changup of content with less cuts and more just problem solving. Not only is it entertaining but i can also pick up on things from it. Thanks for another great video!
15:46 Just love your dad, he's so cool in so many ways👌. It would have been an experience to meet you in person😎.
Glad to hear about the rain. My wife grew up in Shelby and we used to work at the prison so we were just up there this past weekend for a visit. It is interesting to see how the area has changed since we moved a decade ago. Some of the fields in the area look great and some not so much. We even saw some chick pea fields while we were there. It was hot all weekend while we were there. We were glad it didn't rain while we were there because we camped at the Lake Shel-oole campground in a tent. My family used to farm north of Joplin so I know how important the rain is for the crops.
Guys retired mechanic you have to replace that exhaust cam timing solenoid and the Colorado engine family from 04 to 06 all had problems with the pcv valve stopping up and also were notorious for valve seats popping out and causing intermittent misfires but the main thing is out of at least sixty of those solionids not one could be fixed by cleaning the springs
Sounds like a valve seat dropped
@redneckcoder Sorry, Toyota is having problems with their engines.
@matthewjones5450 the 4 cylinder engines only or including the I-5 cylinder engines?
I would just swap in an LS engine. Probably a junkyard 5.3. should be able to do that for less than a grand
@redneckcodertoyota
I would recommend getting a 3.7L Inline 5 cert rebuilt that are in those colorado for roughly 3K maybe lil more online. I got a cert rebuilt for around that for my 08 colorado LT. Excellent fuel economy for a truck at up to 26 mpg highway and i typically avg around 18.5-20 mpg with city highway combined while having decent power and torque. It has 242 Hp and 242 ft lb torq which is better than the 4.3L v6 in the blazer which is 190 hp and 250 torque. I have had my colorado for 13 yrs and it has treated me great.
So for me, depending on how good of condition the rest of the truck is, I would either rebuild it, or get a crate motor for it and let it go another 150k miles. Its cheaper to buy a new motor than it is to buy a new/ used truck like that.
Time for Dad to get a new truck! Like me, we only have so many trips down the road left, would be good to make the most of it. Maybe one of those "we surprised Dad with a new truck" videos!
Before condemning it I’d pull the valve cover and verify both cams are timed correctly. If your cam timing is off it can make a ton of crankcase pressure. That thing should have nylon chain guide and tensioners. Definitely more than enough years on them to be bad. If you replace everything before pistons contact the valves you might get a couple more years out of it pretty cheap. Good luck!🍀
Check the crankcase vent for the oil problem 23:54 😊
Those five finger whatchamacallits look like they would make awesome backscratchers.😊
Love you guys as always. glad to see your getting some rain. I saw may wes products on another channel and told my dad he had to buy the delrin cutting edge for his scraper. he's been thrilled with it so far. he wanted it to not chip the concrete and first thing I Thought of was may wes even tho I was a fleet manager for national western stock show for years. May wes was better and more customizable than my normal cutting edge suppliers. good ppl. we gave the measurements and what showed up was perfect. Good guys over there at may wes and I wont Lie Welker Family. I love the buds.
I’m at Ft Smith fishing the Bighorn. Was really cool driving through the farms and know what they were growing. Some farmers are trying to grow corn. That’s not going to make it. Some fields were only 6” tall. Not good. Winter wheat looks good. Spring wheat isn’t super tall but you can see the heads as you drive by. Peas look really good lots of flowers. Mustard was really good but that was irrigated
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.
14:42 buy a 2015 or older toyota tacoma with a vin starting with a J, 1 or 5🤙😎🤙 God bless you guys....glad y'all got some heavenly rain
Timing chain tensioner is also ran off of oil pressure, if it got low on oil you could've jumped timing.
i would recommend maybe looking into getting some uv dye to have on hand can be used to find any oil/hydraulic leaks you may have just takes a black light, if you have a slow leak in something or big like that it could help make it easy to find. you may want to also look into getting a mechanic ear or chassis ear, basically electronic microphones to make some of these noises your trying to chase easier to locate, or eliminate locations
Good to see that someone came up with an idea to save on wear. The factory probably had an idea but they want you buy new.
Crank / cam correlation codes usually is timing or variable cam timing or vct solenoid
Go buy you a used engine from a junk yard that can tell you the miles on it and give you at least a 6 month warranty on it. Also check with ayard that has only insurance cars and trucks that are
wrecked and they will sell you a engine. Good luck buddy!! Nice seeing y’all video!!😁👍🙋🏼♂️ From La.
Glad to hear you received that much needed rain. 👍
God bless you all!
God bless guys you got rain hope the crops grow!
God bless and keep you brothers!
A colapsed muffer ) back box here in the UK ) run the engin with one plug out at a time, it will be no4 that does not have enough pressure to bypass the exhaust blockage giving you blowback. David UK. Been there with this one.
I had one myself and I thought I’d go with the 3.4 which I think is the replacement engine for the. 2.8 Very glad to hear that you got some rain!
@17:05 not having a magnet, I was taught to use a piece of rubber hose to grip the plugs and pull them up. I could also start/seat the plugs by reverse operations.
Really enjoyed watching you boys diagnosing that engine. I am very much less mechanically inclined, and this gives me the confidence to try and fix things myself - learn as you go :) Thank you!!
Sorry to say this to but I think I'd get rid of all them chevs. Man you guys sure have been alot of trouble with them the last couple years. Hope it works out for you in the end!!
I burnt a hole in a piston once cause of NOS,I was a dumb teenager then experimenting with muscle. Bobs pick up,how well is attached to the truck,he knows any way he goes it costs. Good luck guys on this.
i have a 95 chevy k2500 with the 6.5 diesel that i just keep fixing along with a 04 chevy trailblazer with a 5.3 that we are doing a transmission swap in right now. cheaper to keep the older stuff going then it is to buy a new truck.
Thanks you for the rain update, I have been wondering and watching the weather from down here in Southern California. Lets hope it get's that crop started good!
I am amazed on how much knowledge you guys have.
That's the way things go for our family vehicles, everything seems to go out in batches. One year was A/C compressors, the next was transmission issues, and now it seems we are on to odd electrical gremlins that live to be consistent until I try to get a hold of them to fix it.
Whether you fix the engine or replace it, I would definitely keep the truck. That thing is pretty mint, especially for us guys in Wisconsin, where it would be rusted out by now!
Glad you got rain. Hope you get more. Here in my part of Indiana we are having a wetter than normal July. For is growing like mad. Should bring down fall prices as usual.
Welcome to have some of our rain from the UK! 218mm since April, doesn't seem to stop and now can't harvest our barley!
@@henryrobinson2937 as wet as your country is, isn't that much rain fairly common?
@@Nobody-Nowhere-USA not in these months😂 December/January maybe but not July😂
@@Nobody-Nowhere-USA ,In France (except in the south-east) the rainfall has been higher since 20 October, with a rotten autumn, winter and spring, and it's still going on 50% more than the annual average, resulting in 30% lower cereal and rape yields and sunflowers sown 2 times late and light. Some didn't sow at all. Wheat is suffering catastrophic invasions with resistant ryegrass.
If you want to diagnose a gas engine to see if it is rings, intake or exhaust valve: Take your engine compression tester and remove the gauge head. Then using that hose that remains, adapt it so it fits your shop air compressor line. Then, thread that into each cylinder you want to check and bring that particular cylinder up to TDC so that both valves are closed. Grab a socket that fits your crankshaft and put a breaker bar on it, then brace the breaker bar so that the crankshaft won't move. Now connect the shop air to that air hose off of the compression tester, so that cylinder now has shop air in it. Now listen at the air intake of the motor for leaking air - that means a leaking intake valve on that particular cylinder. Also listen at the muffler - if you hear leaking air, the exhaust valve is leaking. Finally, listen at the oil fill port. If you hear leaking air, the ring are bad. Do this on all cylinders and it will give you a thorough idea of the health of the motor. You can also do oil analysis on it to tell if the bearings are bad. Actually, you should be doing oil analysis on all of your engines, if you aren't already.
Good suggestion
May Wes makes good stuff that skid steer hitch reciever is safe and good, we could use that at work moving trailers. Send those trucks to cowboy car crushing on you tube. LOL Had an 01 blazer. Good v6 motor. 4l60e transmission. it was totaled out, after someone ran into my car on the highway. Glad to see you got rain, Nice diagnosoing.
Bob was close to the right suggestion. Rip out that 4 banger and drop in an LS. Glad you guys got some rain hope more comes down!
Hope you boys have a good season u guys need it God bless
Great video guys, so glad you got a little rain, still praying that you get a little more. So sorry about your truck Mr Welker, good luck with it!!!!
That reserve verhicle parking at the end.... well, spare parts-a-plenty. **reversed grinn**
Thanks for the intricate video, have an awsome day!
Thanks for another great video Welkers!!!!!!!
It was interesting and informative and enjoyable to watch for sure.
First: Bob’s pickup. From watching the video my opinion would be the engine needs to be replaced or overhauled. That particular pickup model had a lot of engine problems plus that model did not fair well in the resale market. I think you have piston damage plus other damage issues to the engine. If it were mind I would not invest anymore dollars in it. Needs to be replaced with another pickup of your choice Bob.
Sorry for that news but that would be the way I would look at it.
Your case IH headers : that’s great they maewest (spelling probably wrong) came and put those runner plates on the sickle guards. That should make a big difference on the way you run your header close to the ground. That company makes a lot of great products. Like the attachment they put on the skid loader to pull header wagons around. Good people and great company.
New blue truck. Got the heater core now. That’s fixed. A few more items and some polishing and then ready for that test drive.
Lots going on in this video. Was all interesting.
Bob, sorry about your pickup truck. Am sure you can find a replacement that fits your needs. Hang in there.
Be anxious to hear how the blue truck test drive goes. Pretty truck!!!!!!!
Enjoyed the video with all of you.
Super glad to hear the rain you got helped your crops. That is extremely encouraging!!!!!!’
Prayers for more rain 🌧️ for your area!!!!!
The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
😊👍🙏🙏🌧️🇺🇸
Thanks Steve. I decided to have a rebuilder have a go with the engine. Very good at what they do
Appreciate you putting the dates in the video. Love the videos.
Cam correlation code, timing issues, slacked chain jumped a few teeth. Fun watching you guys figure it out.
I have a 2005 Colorado. It's been a great truck so far it has 160,000 miles on it. If the motor is truly jock, it would make a great platform for a small block V8.
Scott i run a 1989 defender 300 tdi yip its a old bugger but you know what it dont cost a hole lot to rebuild done hundreds of them in he last 30 years you break em you fix em and yes i take them to the limit on occastions
all it takes is a little bit of time strip em down rebuild week max
great to see you got some rain hope you get a bit more in the next few weeks and months
as always
god bless take care
It's looking like Scottie, Nick and Robert are going to have a fun project this winter. 😊 You guys ain't got much else to do, besides keeping warm and watching the markets go up and down. Mostly down 😢I'm thinking but with a good project to take your mind away is a good thing. 😊
I’ve been praying 🙏 for you and more rain
Thanks to the sky for the blessed rain.
I think you should look for a replacement engine. But it always seems like it's hard to find engines that interchange easily. Great that you got some rain!!
those skid platesare great, and thehookup on the skid steer is so nice, no slop from the wiggle forks!
Seeing the headers outside in these videos makes them look short. But when they pull them into the shop that really puts into perspective how massively wide they are. It's pretty trippy.
Camshaft/crankshaft correlation codes can mean an issue with the crankshaft sensor or the camshaft sensor, or can indicate that the timing chain has stretched or jumped time. The low compression on 2 cylinders is not good either. But I thinl your spot on, it needs a motor. Would be scared of a used motor as they are all gonna be 20 years old with a lot of miles.
Saw a V8 in half. I had a 62 IH scout that had a slant 4 that looked like a V8 sawed down the middle. It used the same oil filter, pistons as a 345 truck engine. The distributor cap look like every other tower were blanked off. It was an interesting engine.
It was half of a 304. (345 was a loter offshoot of the 304)
love how you explain what your doing to t/s the engine
Your video captures the anticipation and excitement of what unfolds after unexpected rain. The spontaneity and resilience showcased in adapting to weather changes are inspiring, creating a captivating and relatable story of nature's influence.
And I am Floating Village Life
That hitch idea is rad. You can just keep it in the skidsteer.
Valve seats are the common problem for misfiring on those engines. I had a 2004 for many years. Made it to 130k before rusting out. Junkyard motor might be best option. Go for an 06 if you can. They got better after 04.
I don’t know how many times over the years I’ve been thwarted when two separate and not connected things break down at the same time. Makes diagnosis a real pain. Lol
LS V8s fit in Colorados...
If he isn't attached to the truck I say cut your losses and replace it. It does "run" similarly to how my one car ran when it jumped time. If you do want to keep using it I say you are about at the point of taking the front cover off and checking the engine timing. I would also pull the oil pan and check the bearings for damage from any possible contaminates.
You could TDI swap the Colorado. Tons of folks swap them into Rangers, and there's probably someone you could find to help with the wiring harness to make it pretty much plug and play
So.. power steering fluid is what was leaking but bob said there was only 2 quarts in it when he checked the oil. So either that’s actually engine oil leaking from somewhere or he ran it low on oil.
Either way, replace that cam actuator and make sure the pcv isn’t plugged up. That’s really not that much blow by for an engine and even it could be caused by timing being off
Good to hear the rain worked. I chuckled when you said turning up that CAT. CAT tunes are the best for engines with the horses the engine is designed for. If you upgrade major components with Bulldozer or Marine grade parts then you can get higher horses without risking blowing the engine up. But I knew you were joking around.
Mechanical tuning for that CAT engine
Isn't there a couple videos where Bob is out hot rodding that old Chevy trying to keep up with Colby as he's chasing wildlife around the farm? 😂
Swap a Cumming Diesel into it🤔
Awesome video guys. 🚜🚜🚜
We bought a skid hitch. Love it for trailers
They are great!
GREAT video guys. Thank you
I went the junk yard route with my pickup. It lasted about thirty days.
Ended up rebuilding the original motor.
Honestly, it sounded like timing components on the front of the engine. Like the timing chain, tensioner, guides, etc. If those are off, your timing is going to be off causing running issues along with blowby because you got valves opening when they shouldn't if it's jumped timing or the VVT adjusts oddly because of the lack of tension. These engines with the complex timing systems don't go the distance like the small blocks.
Skid shoes also prevent fires but the duck feet fingers for the reels are basically rock pickers
My 2005 has 247,000 miles. They also could have had timing chain issues, they are known for that. I run them till they drop. If the body is good used or rebuilt. The 4 bangers were a better engine, mine is a 5.
My 05 Colorado have a major repair on cylinderhead of bad valvesprings at only 28000 km
Daddy Welker is the man, we both grew up in the same mad mad time frame.
I had one of those Colorado's, and the vvt solenoid has a small screen that goes missing in the oil pan, and then will run rough at time's, and eventually goes into limp mode. The rebuilt and used car motors have been really bad on failure rate. I would have someone you know rebuild that engine with good parts. As long as it's not rusted to the point where it's not worth it. The newer stuff is worse, and over priced. Another used vehicle still is a risk, at least you know what you have, and the work you've done on it.
G-d bless.
If the Welkers can put a Cat engine in a different truck, then anything you want to put in the Colorado is not a problem. Low mileage, later model would be a good choice if you can find one is my suggestion.
Don't feel bad we haven't had rain in 3 1/2 weeks. This is going to be a hard year for us. even my little garden is doing bad.
Put a 6 cylinder manual transmission in it be a fantastic little handy truck. With some more power under the hood
Glad for the rain. Sorry for Dad's Colorado. Holding out for more rain and a donor engine for Dad.
Give us a tour of junk row sometime!! There has to be memories there!
I made one of skid hitches for our toolcat. So i always have it in the bed. I kinda copied one i saw online. From 2x6 channel iron we had laying around.
Dad's gettin a new truck!!!
"Leg Arms" Welker...hmmm...The law of the land??
Love you, Welker fam. ❤
Praise the Lord for rain.
The truck body looks good, if drivetrain and interior are good a rebuilt motor would make for a nice little truck.
That engine family is also noted for timing chain tensioner failures.
oh so it has an oil ran veritable valve timing. you can try and replace the solenoids. but just for the sound and what we saw its likely the cam phasers. but yea seems to be a timing issue. I think you can totally fix it.
I can’t wait to see the Pete finished with the new trailer👀
I ❤love❤luv❤ that shirt !! "Faith family farming" !!
Ok. I’ve seen y’all build everything else on this show, time to LS swap dads truck and make a ripping farm truck 🤘🏼😂
115,000 miles on that Colorado does not sound excessive to me, and with the price of new pick ups, I would try to repair it. Dunno!
Another thing you could check is if the cats are plugged. But it does sound like the timing might have jumped. Maybe a broken rocker? Good luck prayer to yall
First generation Chevrolet Colorado did have factory option of a 5.3 LS based truck engine in the 4 door 2WD Model.
That is why I love my Toyota Hilux 😉
Okay Nick, stupid question... Have you guys thought of trying "Source" on some of your crops? Ive seen some interesting results from other farm tubers runnin the stuff mixed into their first spray, post planting mixes. I know they have a product for corn and another for soybeans, id be surprised if they didnt have one for wheat.
Great video Nick LegArms and Bob
Timing chains. Notorious for going bad.
Had an 08 4cyl. Do both intake and exhaust. Good luck
It would be a huge job but have you guys ever tried a low disturbance subsoiler before the winter? Would allow some of that snow melt to infiltrate much deeper into the soil profile. Bad idea or worth a trial?
With your diesel engine you can run archoil or hot shot secret it has made a difference for my bobcat also change the engine oil a little bit more
