That old diesel clack is music to my ears. Reminds me of my old ‘83 Mercedes 300TD. I used to love to dump a thick black cloud of rolled coal on pesky tailgaters! 😁😁

That's a beauty. Very nice keeping it in the family. Thanks for sharing ! 👍👍👍

Only thing is.. I personally would’ve kept the wire wheel covers !

I just got one myself i found

BUT.....HOW do you do this on a 3rd gen Sienna ( 2016).....where the BEZEL around the handle is NOT REMOVABLE......but is common and PART OF the complete interior door panel ?????..... Arghhhh !!!!!

We have a 2013. Barely open and wouldn't close fully. Tried everything on the internet to fix it. No luck. Came across your video by searching "How to brute force open toyota sienna power door". I was at the point we were going to get it open no matter what. You were on the second of three pages. We couldn't pop off the handle cover, so we had to slowly use a small bit and wrench to get the phillips screw out. Took 30 minutes. Popped it open and although the 2013 looks different than the one in the video, we saw what to do. It did not work. Silly us had the power enabled for the door. As soon as we turned the power button off it OPENED! We wept with joy. This happened to a 2008 we owned and NO ONE could fix it and we got rid of the car. THANK YOU for taking the time to make the video. It saved our Sienna.

I was told years ago the plaid valve covers were only put on the 351 V-6. I know there were several cubic inches motors. The 305, 351, 402, and a 478. They also built a 702 V-12. It was a solid cast block, but had four heads on it. I don't recall the HP, I want to say it was around 325, but the torque was over 600.. GM designed and built all their V-6 motors to run for 500,000 miles.

Love that sound

I gather they were pretty slow . 120-130km/h would likely be top speed??

I learned to drive in one very similar, my Mom's 1977 Electra 2-door. Hers was dark blue with light blue landau top. It was a lower trim level though. I wouldn't mind finding a clean version!

Be honest... it was just the batteries.

I’m so sad. I did this and pushed that part but it didn’t work. The door is still stuck shut. I can’t afford to buy another car.

You are a genius thank you

That's Kool enjoy your grandfather's 63 GMC for many years thanks for sharing with us

Do you happen to be in Classic GM FWD Society? Saw that 1987(?) Toronado.

Always wondered what happened to this car after Junkyard Digs was done with it. It really cleaned up nice. Probably only need a few things like the tail lamp lense and the mirror.

GM really shit the bed when they made this diesel engine

Is this for sale ?

Love your video. I have my G-father’s ‘63, stepside, grand 4 speed, K1500, 3/4t, 4x4, 305E V6, w/ the original winch on the front & PTO out the rear - all still functioning. Has a 5:1 gear ratio front & back and was really a farm implement on our land in central Texas. Still have those same white dog-dish hubs😊, and evergreen paint. It has 78K original miles on it. It too was garaged and now resides in my garage here in Tulsa. Too many great memories to regale here, but I think of him everytime i walk out in my garage. That great smell of American iron & engine….so very good!!😊

Such a nice car, inside and out

Hey Kyle, I actually "owned" this car for a summer before It was once again given back to Kevin. I drove it for a summer as a field checking car and gravel cruiser. It's awesome to see this car back running again. I hope you have been enjoying it, should definitely keep making videos on it

Looks great! Well done sir, glad to see this one lives on!

Can't believe how fast that oxidized! Looks awesome again

Somehow I never saw this until now😂 I SEE the dam belts STILL SQUEAK

Very cool old truck, that's wild about the valve covers ! If I was going to fix up a pick up of that vintage, the GMC w/the big V6 would be top of the list.

This was the car that I found the JYD channel with ... and now it's the car I found your channel with. Always been into diesel cars. Very cool.

Thats not an Olds.

Is thar the same car .....that group of guys and. That girl brought back to life

its so funny to hear a diesel rumble coming out of that instead of a V8 purr

I thought I recognized that car! I remember Junkyard Digs' videos on it. Nice to see it still working!

Are you gonna bulletproof it

I worked on many 5.7 350 Gm Diesels.Head bolts were the biggest problem as they were torque to yield and would just snap.Glow plug problem most of the time was a problem with glow plug timer.Hard starting was a indication of the injector pump letting go.Those engines were installed in all gm products including 1\2 ton pickups.Best thing is to install a truck fuel filter with water seperator.That box filter is junk.

Iowa was always chock full of survivor cars. Nice. Love the old green cass county plate. Lee county native here. Love seeing the old GM diesels being saved. I hope you keep it.

You gotta fix that side mirror

Very nice pickup truck!🙂🙃😉

Wow that’s amazing to see looks well kept too . That is a true classic . ❤

And on those bumpers you can remove the bumpers drill a hole in those shock absorbers release the pressure countersink the bumpers drill to that hole again and put a screw in there remount the bumpers and have what's known as tucked bumpers, and you don't need to ever replace all that plastic stuff that's missing that will also make that car look great I even did that to my Seville the rear bumper was the only one I could do because of the configuration of the front bumper won't allow it. It sure made the back end look a lot Slimmer and trimmer.

Ya still have the 63 V-6 GMC? I've got a complete pulled engine if you're interested? Very unique engines..... I'm in apple country Upstate NY....💪🤠

I have always liked the 1978 Buick Electra. Do you still have this car? Do you have any updates?

That’s a nice Buick, Kyle. Do you still have it?

The plaid valve covers are cool!

They were beautiful cars❤

repaint looks to be Earl Scheib - was popular option back in the 1970's if you just needed paint, and not a tick-sheet restoration. (they might have even washed it before they painted it...) very cool old truck!!

I believe those came with a breather type cap on the valve cover, instead of the solid one, to act as an air intake for the PCV valve or road draft tube, however this one is equipped. Without the breather cap, it can build up pressure in the crankcase and cause oil to leak out of the main seals.

Thanks for the video. I'm no dumbass (hahahaha) but I got some performance back out of my tired Craftsman 19.2V impact driver by spraying the commutator with CRC electronics cleaner. Now it can un-torque an 87 ft-lb lug again. Whatever is going on with the commutation is going to require a deeper look. If I ever fix something of my brother's and post the video I am totally doing that.

If you wait for the glow plugs to light up and the "wait" light to go off, she'll start up right away! :-)

my favorite

I own a 1966 that was my dads truck,I love the thing and it is bullet proof,it'll run forever.Those engines were like a modern day diesel.Pure toquore ,thanks for the vidio.

it should accelerate way better than that. i had a car with the same engine before

That's gotta be a rare car. You don't see many Buicks with the Olds diesel. Most of them made back then as well as most still existing today are Oldsmobile models.
