[@bigrich2110]

[@MrRebar15]

Very cool, thanks for taking the time to show us. God Bless.

[@DocLulzson]

Why doesn't this channel blowup all crazy with subs? This is way under rated IMHO.

[@esimler]

Better content here than what was on discovery channel 👍🏻

[@DocLulzson]

Shows more steps.👍🏻

[@BUILTDIESELMAFIA]

Dynamite diesel DDP for the win!!!!!

[@joemeier659]

Just starting watching Vegas Rat Rods 2 months ago and love them. started watching your KZbin channel too and I've learned alot from your videos. Thank you for the facts and keep doing what you're doing. #WelderUpfam

[@bigpesa6166]

Likewise..great show 👊

[@MayhewTools]

That is one"diesel" motor! 😉 Can't wait to see it installed!

[@lowandslowga]

That's a great solution to the gear problem! Love your KZbin channel!

[@lars-andersmalmberg4042]

Hello Steve, it's Lars, I just saw the show about D-Rod rebuild and i must say that you and the crew are the best bad ass car builders, sorry for ruin your new back axle, but you fixed that and the people could see you an D-Rod on the track, keep up the bad ass car building 🤘🤘👍

[@WelderUpVegas]

Thanks Lars, sure appreciate your comment.

[@lars-andersmalmberg4042]

@@WelderUpVegas it's Lars my pleasure Steve, it had been cool to visit your shop one day and ND only God knows if i might do it Steve 🤘👍

[@mikefedele4521]

The "D" rod is coming back to life mayhem at it's best. I love knowing I'm not the only one who overbuilds stuff. It is fun trying to break it after all. 😜

[@woos31]

Right on Steve, I've been waiting for this re-build for a long time! I never thought I'd be a rat rod guy....... .until you went and put a 12 valve in one, you sunk that hook deep man. Keep the videos comin sir, especially the oil burner shenanigans

[@adrianbertin]

Dig it! Great tips and pointers. 👍👍 Keep em coming!

[@frankhagar4651]

Thanks for including everyone and the tips,

[@mikepoint4983]

Straight to the point I love that . Great build and wicked Channel . Cheers

[@alnev6664]

Love the channel Steve !! I’m telling everyone to subscribe . Your a natural instructor/ teacher and I really appreciate all the information you give us👍

[@jimbobunn5195]

I've seen people drill a second dowel pin on the opposite side. But welding it seems like a better solution. Thanks for the tip!

[@69JANKS]

a Double KeyWay the way to go I'd say, just like what the Blown boys do down below on the Crank snout/Balancer..... Luv the show btw, badass 😎🤙🏼

[@irapennington5355]

Love these videos and the sharing of knowledge

[@louispugliese7200]

Great video, again. I personally like where you're going with these videos. Learning all the time. Keep it up. LJ

[@WelderUpVegas]

Louis Pugliese will do Louis, that’s for the support

[@franksgarageandcustoms8321]

Awesome Steve! Love watching this stuff. Only thing is,i know very little about diesels. That’s about to change, late 90’s cummins is getting dropped in my lap,runs good but its rusted out. Scrap value. Think it time to build a rod. Lets make some smoke!!

[@roynelson7613]

That is badass brother 👍🏻👍🏼👍🏼👊🏼👊🏼

[@joeestes8114]

Awesome new videos! Love em!

[@prancstaman]

Welderup. You know he was going to weld up something on the motor, LOL.

[@Lucifer07-r7u]

Im big big fan of you❤️,im from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

[@WelderUpVegas]

Thanks so much and thanks for watching!

[@vintagesavoiur]

Great video, love the tech tips

[@cyberpunk4622]

I'm curious what the new motor will do on the dyno.

[@mikestrucks]

Very good video 👍🏻

[@79Z28Hellion]

Love the vlog stuff. Can probably make more money doing this then TV. Lol, keep the content coming, and you’ll grow a mass following.

[@markweber2958]

Yes no b.s. just good info ...and a man that gets his hands dirty...thanks steve

[@WelderUpVegas]

Thanks for the support Mark

[@stokeburner6730]

Ulra black is the only way to go in my opinion and its definately better than a gasket on a lot of applications.

[@humptydumpty3802]

That's so cool, I've never had the opportunity to wrench on a diesel! Was that black rtv in a cheese whiz style can? Lol Thanks for sharing.

[@yoyobenjo1]

Always use never seize with stainless bolts stops them binding the thread. 👍

[@tazyt3388]

Shit yeàh its gonna haul balls mate get it done n get fangin it ,awsum cheers

[@jakeguenther5457]

Just curious. But wouldn't welding on there throw it off balance? Or are the welds not big enough to worry about that?

[@chrisshapardon1640]

Why did you choose the TH400 over say the 727 torqueflight just out of curiosity for my build 🤔. Chris-Michigan

[@WelderUpVegas]

Hi Chris, I have had better luck with the TH400. I think it is just a matter of preference.

[@murraycooper]

Does tigging the gear on throw out the balance at all or is it too minimal to worry about?

[@hoagiesherlin7732]

Thats gonna be one bad MO FO

[@skipman8yard]

More vidj like that please 😎✊🤟👍🇬🇧

[@WelderUpVegas]

skipman8yard will do buddy

[@justanotherguy9664]

Stainless bolts - when will people learn...? Sure, they look real pretty, but between the head deformation and thread galling they are a PITA. Add to that the misconceptions about stainless grading and anti-corrosion makes for real fun times trying to work on vehicles that have had them added.

[@bigrich2110]

just another guy add a little anti seize compound and you’ll be just fine with properly torqued stainless bolts

[@i-like-turtles4900]

Loving the content! Notice more if it in the recent months...does that mean there isn't a new season of your show?

[@oldblu82]

Should weld that cam gear too

[@jeffleblanc8850]

Wish I had a welder maybe one of these days I got a old 95 with the low power 6.5 turbo diesel it’s good on fuel but wouldn’t take to the races if I had the money I’d put a Cummings in my Chevy but I’m 61 and the budget is not there I got to put some gaskets on my old diesel today thers a ton of oil down the side of motor I’m putting a used motor in and if I had the money I’d rebuild but it works good for what it is wish so bad I had the money to do a Cummins swap oh well you do some awesome stuff must be nice to have all the stuff at hand but you worked for it good video miss your show I don’t like the street outlaws it’s a soap I like good ole Nhra racing

[@jasonvenegas8264]

Awesome

[@slamboy66]

I hit it so fast only at 240p I'll wait till 1080 HD. lol

[@jaredwheeler7616]

What rear end and front end is in the D-rod? Thanks

[@cummins5325]

What size sticks are you running?

[@ricklewis950]

Was this filmed a long time ago? It doesn't look like the most resent D-Rod I'm used to seeing??? Some one plz fill me in!

[@stevekirksey9293]

Steve ought to teem up with Dragon man aka toys R us he’s got a 67,000 square foot Museum up in Colorado

[@krauselee877]

Filler rod prevents the weld from cracking dude

[@joshsauto6226]

Where do you get your motors from?

[@oz-mospeedshop784]

Steve, WHERE do you get the cowboy boot style gauntlet tig gloves?? I’m about to cut up my Tillman’s and work boots, and break out my mommas sewing machine!

[@ricklewis950]

I think he mAde them

[@patmclean1951]

The music over the video is a little much for my taste. I find that it works better over stills. I would rather listen to you guys wrenching away and the equipment you are using.

[@426superbee4]

i got 5 cars and 3 pickup to make some cool rides. but its TO DAM HOT > i can't work on em sweat pour down in my eyes 1st is a 85 ram got a 318 going to HEMI in it got a 89 FORD 4x4 pickup going to put it under a 85 ford E250 cargo van They measure up PREFECT

[@joenels4356]

put a vacume pump on the oil vent mo powa eh?

[@bfit5759]

Please work on the audio levels. They were WAYYYYYY to high on this video

[@kendlechesson5937]

Hi Steve Kendall from England I'm trying to buy some shares buddy can you help me out

[@dougmtias3163]

[@bigunitandmore]

You ever use a torque wrench ? Unless that drill is a drill and a torque wrench both. LOL //////////////////////////////////
