FIRST START! 5.9 Cummins swapped EXT CAB Studebaker

[@billnlori3149]

A grinder and paint make me the welder I ain't!! Cool truck!!

[@mclaynebalzly1739]

It’s great to see people takin care of studebakers like this again

[@themilkman1784]

Thanks for all the videos Rich. Your Cummins videos gave me the inspiration and confidence to tackle an engine swap in my brother's case 2144 combine with a 5.9 in it. The first start was a definitely a highlight of my career in agriculture

[@8tyman8]

hi rich with your aluminum turbo elbow "fiasco" did you use an old grinding wheel to prep the surface? if so you just contaminated the surface with carbon I cant remember the name of them but there is grinding wheels made just for that job also do your self a favor and buy a good stainless wire brush that is used strictly for aluminum it will make everything go alot better and you need pure or 2 percent ceriated tungsten when welding aluminum cheers Tyler

[@bigwhane8603]

That handle is off a corn planter we got one in our yard and it’s a jd the handle lifts the planting part when you turn around

[@iskandertime747]

This, THIS is why I subscribed.

[@DrewBe59635]

That shifter is going to be really unique. COOL!

[@kevin58145]

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that does the ziptie line holders. I do it will all my spark plugs wires that don't have the factory holders.

[@MrMasterDin]

Best tip i ever got for aluimium welding is make sure everything is super clean. Makes a huge difference, that's what the black areas on the weld mean are it's a bit dirty, weld will be good non the less.

[@LongPeter]

How is there not a “Deboss - Here we go.” T-shirt?

[@mikefedele4521]

Deboss is moving forward... A few firsts today. I say it is awsome. Good thing about moving the master/Hydra boost under the frame is you can create your own linkage for somthing period correct. I'm thinking how to do it now. It's contagious.

[@06silvercrew]

I don't know if it would be suitable, but look at a hydro boost out of an Astro Van. Much more compact. Used one on an early Bronco one time, worked perfect.

[@Tellisjr]

That shifter will be an awesome look once you figure out the mechanics. I got faith in ya!!!! Cant wait to see what it looks like.

[@onlybrokencars5238]

Man I wish I had found this channel a lot sooner. Informative and humorous! Keep doing what you're doing

[@mjmcomputers]

Well that was a Smokey old start. This is going to be a fun truck.

[@michaelclark6524]

Can’t wait into the build is done to see how it came out!!!!!👍👌🏻

[@damonhallsworth1948]

This here is exactly what I need to see on you tube.👍🍻

[@mareknosek996]

Just been binge watching your channnnenel! Can't wait to go up north to work on my stufffffs . Keep it up and good fortune with your business !

[@michaelrarnold]

“It’s gonna be fantastic!” I think that is an understatement? Hahaha. Great build though! Keep them coming!

[@kswaynes7569]

You're NUTS! This project must be for either a wealthy man or was a close friend. Hope you make some money on this.

[@JohnmillerPowerlifting]

well that first start probably took a few years off your life. just one of the benefits of working on a diesel :)

[@Projectblackkjack]

I said the same thing when I was standing beside it

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

About the same as 10 cigarettes. Good thing I don't smoke

[@Projectblackkjack]

@@DEBOSSGARAGE I'd prefer diesel smoke over cigarettes anyways

[@ppump24valve53]

Maybe a few hours

[@ryanmalin]

Pretty awesome use of the 1st gen’s Cummins

[@LaLaLand.Germany]

Love your cat. Not the diesel, the meow :-) maybe do a little feature on him/her?

[@larrycain6425]

You can do it. Have faith.

[@TheStwat]

I love that cat.

[@JoeHynes284]

amazing how positive you are

[@charliebardo6255]

Yes I'm dieing to see the rest of this misadventure 😎 love this stuff 👍

[@CowboyDave07]

Worth noting, the hanger bearing on F250+ trucks are easy to replace. It's just the F150s that are trash.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Very interesting want to see more on this studebaker

[@NickelSpeedShop]

I have a hydro boost out of a step van that mounts perpendicular to the firewall. Maybe that would work for ya.

[@turtleman5.9]

The gm safari vans had a nice short hydro boost set up.......

[@RussZHC]

Sometimes an hour, hour and a half in a well stocked wrecking yard, say once a month, just wandering around an looking at "stuff" is worthwhile (and its usually pretty quiet). Not that you don't know and with nothing in particular in mind for this build BUT it just strikes me that somewhere there must be something much closer to functional for what you need than what you were given in this case. Unless of course I have completely misread and these were parts the customer specifically wanted to be included.

[@tannerwimer]

This thing is gonna be wicked

[@iancoulas2128]

Love your videos Rich! Im also in ontario Canada! Id love to check out your shop sometime or even have you do work on my 99 5.9 when it comes time for a rebuild haha

[@johnfrench9608]

Love you guys for your attitude to engineering solutions. It reminds me of 20 years ago working on horseboxes in the UK. PS what is the cats name?

[@BryceSirianni]

This is an identical build to what I have planned except mine is going to be a 1950 gmc on a dodge frame. Hard to find dodges in Alberta / bc where people don't want an arm and a leg for them though.

[@veiledzorba]

Now THAT is what I call exhaust gas recirculation!

[@duttydiesel8303]

Sounds like your customer might be smoking too much medical marijuana bringing ya parts like that 😂

[@robertwyrick7895]

If you are doing a remote boost unit for the brakes, could you not fab up a vacuum boost unit under the truck frame like the medium duty trucks. chevy c70 or something. Simple master cylinder to the firewall to a vacuum boost unit under the truck somewhere.

[@fascistpedant758]

This thing is pretty cool. Lots of funky fabrication. Its great if you enjoy the challenge and find the time and patience to do it right. There were more levers on that machine, a second one for the handbrake would be cool and not that much more trouble. I'm swapping an old G Wagon to diesel. Have you ever used a plastic gasoline tank for diesel fuel without long term problems? Thanks for sharing the fun. I hope it's worth the trouble for you. (Did you fire the glow plugs before starting it?)

[@georgewallace3106]

I love this channel you do a great job rich

[@forrestgump1379]

Had a 1974 Chevy C50 that had a small brake cylinder on the fire wall that was plumbed into the larger hydrobooster under the floor. No mechanical connection.

[@gregweber8951]

Moving the intake piping would be easier then modifying the hydro-boost?....no? Turning the intake snout into a 45 forward? Also look into the van master with the same gm hydro boost, maybe it will fit under the intake snout...

[@CarswithNash]

Awesome! Great update!

[@lanceladewig2793]

Sounds amazing!

[@jeffpittman8725]

Good times!

[@t3hm4zn]

You've helped me invent "jonk" music.

[@Shane-Singleton]

took a bit but after it chugged all of that nasty shit out of the injectors and lines it actually ran pretty nice. Now about that vacuum pump... lol.

[@trancet]

Make a vid of the Tig lessons ! my AHP alpha-tig 201xd just arrived like, 2 days ago

[@dleighton5741]

You can DO it !

[@xozindustries7451]

Can you just move the intake pipe to clear the hydro boost unit and mount it on the firewall?

[@oldman3454]

It’s ALIVE!!

[@colbystende2466]

What in the flying fuck! That's some mad mechanic Shyt there!

[@FlyinGato]

we should drop a 5.9 in my FK8 Type R, that would be fun...

[@embassypictures.5629]

FlyinGato would that even fit??

[@dalesubic345]

I was the guy in the Disco era that wore a Disco Sucks tee shirt.

[@STRGHTSXBNZ]

damn every single time when i hear one of these things run, my pipi goes up #megusta

[@HamiltonMechanical]

you better show us this shifter when you are done!

[@SeanFillner]

Your channel is what I want my channel to be. I will get there one day I suppose. I subd to you. :D

[@pkuudsk9927]

# 1 Rule when working on a customers project " anything can be made to fit as long as it's a open checkbook " other wise you can't afford it and don't ask me to make it fit .When welding aluminum the biggest trick is to use separate tools for grinding , cutting, cleaning never use a tool that touched anything but aluminum , clean hands and filler rod. Cross contamination make welds crappy looking and weaker. Old parts should be cleaned and pre heated to help release old oils. The cleaner the easier to weld .

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

tig is really easy to finess. mig has to be better setup, but may be stronger

[@DOZDDMGator]

Should do a comparison between 12v cummins and TD71 volvo

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Havent seen ideas like those since my time on the prairies... this fellow a flatlander ?

[@ohlookadragon]

looks like a lever for a farmall cultivator that would mount around a tractor

[@milesharget7251]

go to 6:48 for cat footage

[@cadescobey9356]

Was that a Roadkill garage zip tie moment I just seen?

[@marktorrence1969]

3.73 gears are too high. Had to take the 3.73's out of mine and put in 4.10's cause the truck was going nearly 120 mph at optimum engine rpm of 1900 to 2000. It hit 150 before I took my foot out of it and had plenty left.

[@_ohmz_electric]

Oh my god the noise it’s making

[@johntrevena4280]

that'll do!!!

[@nathiolifant6842]

Are you wiping some grease on that cat fur?😂😂

[@andrewneilsen1516]

lookin' good

[@michaelbenoit248]

Nah, get rid of the 3.73 & throw in a 3.55, ive had 2 trucks w 3.55s & they’re great. Had a truck w a 4.10 that was a 7.3 that got like 10-13mpg threw a 3.55 rear axle in it & get 18mpg Highway. Just got a 3.55 ZF5 idi & it’s great.

[@Sens23Bruins]

Haha I do that double zip tie trick at work all the time boss is too cheap to buy the fancy zipties

[@Scoots1994]

I just realized how much I love "here we go"

[@richardtruesdell8289]

What was your total bill for all the work you did on this project?

[@randr10]

I've done hanger bearings on a couple of Fords over the last few years and I was able to press them off. Newest truck was a '99 F250. Did they change them after that?

[@traxxasguy1777]

Robert Nugent nah I’ve done them on my old 2wd 87 F150 and my 99 f250 and I was able to get both off with a hammer and some patience. I think Rich just likes to talk smack lol

[@johnhoffman8203]

a little motor vation !!!

[@GdaySport]

Customer sounds like a pain in the ass!

[@fascistpedant758]

He who pays the piper calls the tune. It's all good if it makes him happy and he doesn't mind paying for it.

[@Simonbear11]

Question. My dad pulled out a duramaz out of a 2008, unsure what kind it is. The truck got hit by a drunk driver in the rear end, motor, tranny, transfer case are all good. Although would it be able to fit in my 1999 silverado 2500?

[@FONGARITO]

Have you ever done a caterpillar swap? Like a 3208 or 3126?

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Swapped a 3208 into an old tractor but that was long before channel

[@robtheknob7791]

Yes

[@lanceroark6386]

Rich, would you care to do a floor swap for a 73 Crew Cab Chevy 2500?

[@lanceroark6386]

I have a 91 D250 reg can long bed with everything but the dash (and the stuff needed to run the engine) in usable/reusable condition for trade if you’re interested. It’s an AZ truck so there’s no rust. Some dents and surface rust, but no cancer.

[@pennywisetheclown9090]

Work cut out for you. I love people like that. They think they are helping but they are not, random missmatched parts and such.

[@Mike-xt2ot]

Tip: The difference between an ok weld and a bad weld? A grinder. Haha. Grinder is a bad word to some welders. I have never been able to weld with a nice appearance.

[@fascistpedant758]

It ain't got to be pretty as long as it holds. I've seen pretty welds that didn't hold. Oh Wait! Were you talking about your appearance or the weld?

[@Mike-xt2ot]

@@fascistpedant758 very true. haha. I guess both. My beard could use some grinder touch ups.

[@jagardina]

Where's the "here we go" t-shirt?

[@charlesdyer2376]

Rot-sa-ruck Chuck !!!

[@jadajada405]

Always wear your safetygear fooks

[@gusracette4378]

WOW, that's all I can say.

[@chuk2795]

I need a 12v for this 7.3 powerstroke I got

[@BurkesRepair]

7.3 is just as good. I have 400k on my 2000 crewcab dually 4x4 and never had the engine open. Cummins are over rated. I LIKE Cummins, i just think its retarded to Cummins swap EVERYTHING

[@mikecrowley2593]

Maybe a p series step van hydroboost !

[@piperdoug428]

just a little "send it!!" oh and ye forgot the ford tube.

[@johnisabella5148]

The cat video makes up for the missing footage

[@DieselsandOutdoors]

9:38 I believe you have an exhaust leak

[@jeffsnider3588]

Wait long enough and drive the Stude to paint.

[@greasemonkeyadventurer]

Never seen a welded on carrier carrier from ford....

[@raabsand]

Is that 1/4in air line?

[@allanfrancis7572]

Just get the dude to tig you up a new master that will fit

[@UnWrecked]

losing footage is the worse! I lost 2 of my episodes once.

[@nekruz2631]

Please do a p pump swap on that engine

[@billygreenhorn9275]

Are you going to Motorama next weekend?

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Yep on the Sunday. GTO won’t be there unfortunately

[@billygreenhorn9275]

So are you bringing a car or are you just going to see the show? Maybe I could talk to you about my pole barn project ...

[@og_propagandapdx8592]

Fucking pain in the ass.... and I love it
