ALOHA FROM HAWAII TO My FAVORITE U TUBE CHANNEL IN CANADA DEBOSS GARAGE MAHALO FOR AWESOME VIDEOS CONTENTS SIR.

[@johnscott2849]

Hydraulic cylinders have better lifting capacity if they are not dead headed. When dead headed there is no room for oil so they struggle to lift or move. I always leave an inch or more so you can get the lifting force.

[@Rick-O-Shay60]

This is one of my All-Time favorite builds to watch. I absolute Love how this truck is coming together. The coolest rolloff hauler ever!

[@Rick-O-Shay60]

I would drive this truck every single day!

I always wonder where these build channels get their money for projects. I'd love to do things like this but struggle to provide for my family so I end up living vicariously through them.

[@alechorowitz5985]

I feel ya. I struggle mentally feeling guilty for wanting to build my truck when I know that it’s much more important to provide for those that I love. I know these guys ad revenue and sponsorship pay for or exceed the cost to build projects

[@FauxPro2023]

Rich started slowly. He got paid for other work he did and just happened to film them and put them on KZbin. He said after they got monetized, it took them 6 months just to get enough money to buy a cup of coffee.

[@cornboy3]

Before KZbin, Rich also had a shop well known across Ontario for diesel swaps from any engine into any chassis. They’ve been working hard for a while.

[@Joe-hz1nw]

On top of the other comments, Rich built his own house with no loan, I think he was debt free with a house at 28 - getting out from under the debt early in life makes a huge difference.

[@dk3062]

[@Vaino_Hotti]

Awww that cute little winch 😊 Some big ol' winch the size of a man's torso would look spot on behind that cab.

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Yes, but the winch will still work with the bed on the ground. Can't do that with hydraulics

[@christopherconrad4156]

I always used fluid film to lubricate my hiab crane extensions. Doesn't cake up like grease lets the extensions slide smoothly. I used the clear not the black.

Next time you need to bend plate use a turn buckle. Cut the ends off the bolts weld the bolts to the frame and the plate and then tighten her down. Then your under tension instead of compression and it's much safer

I now use New Hampshire Undercoatings. Creeps 16 inches and lasts a long time. I apply every two years and very happy with it. Fluid film was great too but I think NHU is superior.

That Fluid Film is great stuff. Use the Wool Wax bottles. You can fill multiple bottles and not have to keep filling one in the middle of a project.

A good tip for fluidfilm is a bucket heater and a gear oil pump. It makes getting it into the smaller jug easy.

We used a product like Fluid Film for the heavy machinery at a factory I worked at right before it went out the door so it would be ready to be shipped over seas so that the sea air while crossing the Pacific wouldn't cause our equipment to rust before it reached the customer. They all work pretty well as long as you keep them up and remember: wear your respirator when applying them because you do not want to coat your lungs in that stuff. It will make you sick. I found out that our techs weren't using a respirator when I was asked to put it on one day, so I read the label on the bucket which had the massive warnings to wear one. Management apparently had not looked at the product when they had started using it for the PPE requirements and was very surprised when I asked why we didn't have respirators for applying it.

[@TheNearlyFamousMrHobby]

Wow what a pain in the ass....it will be cool when it's done

[@bilttokarse5296]

[@edciasiii3308]

Rich, fyi, fluid film temporarily gets thinner if you stir it thoroughly with a drill-powered paint stirrer. Makes it much easier to get it in the paint gun.

[@justinsousa7624]

if you cut the 90 degree corner off of a speed square you can get it into those rounded corners on steel members.

The last mechanical fueled Dt466 was called the New Generation Diesel or NGD. I believe it had a P7100. The original 466 had a 5.25in stroke. The 466e has a 5in stroke. Its a completely different engine built with Cats heui injection system. There are a lot of older dt466B and Dt466C with Bosch MW inline pumps. Those pumps are very similar to a P7100 and can output around 300hp on a stock turbo and injectors very smoky of course

[@lamarzimmermanmennonitefar5269]

Also I can't believe that you aren't a life long fluidfilm user. Welcome on board

[@kevinharms5558]

❤ this truck

[@RocketFarmer]

When it comes to Fluid Film the best approach is to use fluid film on/in all the nooks and crannies everywhere but don't bother with the frame and high wear/splash areas. Apply it and give it 2 weeks to let it creep everywhere as that's the advantage of Fluid Film, its ability to creep. After two weeks top cover over all of it with WoolWax (same basic product but with more wool fiber, thus thicker) and then use the WoolWax for the frame and high wear/splash areas. It will stick around much better and for a lot longer than the thinner fluid film. Woolwax wont creep like Fluid Film though so you have to use the fluid film first in the areas where you want it to creep into seams, joints, etc. If you can manage to get it stick around long enough (12 months), the woolwax semi-dries and creates a darn near impermeable barrier. With Fluid Film alone, we were recoating every 6 months. With the new process above, its every other year aside from occasional spot applications where necessary. Be warned though, working on anything underneath will become a very messy situation. Small price to pay for the best rust prevention you can get.

[@christopherlenahan3906]

Sunday Night Rich AND it's Fargo nice! Hey Rich the Milwaukee M18 or plug in Magnetic Drill would be supreme for yeh doing this kind of work. You can use Annular cutters (effectively a cross between a hole saw and milling cutter.) SOO FAST and get so many holes from a battery. You aren't using power to remove the metal in the center plug. LIttle or no lube because multiple cutting points. I've used one cutting 1" hole in 1" thick beams that the manufacturer missed or on change orders, maybe 30seconds a hole and no effort.

[@garcher666]

Give this man an acid eclctrode frame dipper to take care of his metal anodizing truck frames! Rust disolving iron steel mix

[@TNWWDGTFilms]

Was doing similar drilling earlier to you redrilling the frame, idk if this is a deep cut, but all of those videos of Pakistani, or Indian dudes drilling frames with weird jigs/attachments for their worm drive drills for extra feed strength makes me think about making some at home. Good video idea, 5-10 minutes of reacting to youtube shorts/tiktoks of said videos, then making and testing them. For science. Big fan for years keep up the content.

[@gullreefclub]

Just a little reminder if you are going to smear grease in between frame rails in the hopes of preventing rust make sure to use a “waterproof grease.” Strange as it may sound not all grease is waterproof as opposed to water resistant. One simple way to determine if grease is waterproof is to buy “marine” rated grease.

[@buildingsalvage]

This thing is so sweet

[@jamessmith7691]

That's great including your daughter on the build. I wish I'd taken more pictures of my kids growing up. My daughter used most of a can of J/D green on a small home garden tractor. She laid on her back doing the under side and hardly had any paint on herself. That Trem Clad paint, is that available at auto parts stores? Looks interesting. Never buy Tractor supply paint , it lasts like garbage.

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Rustoleum calls their rust paint Tremclad in Canada

[@thethepete731]

Cut the back corner off a square and it will fit into the gully of that angle iron, also goes over a weld bead on structural tube construction.

[@andrewlippincott]

Use a reamer for the holes! A lot cheaper to buy and goes way faster on steel

[@hankstar.1]

Surprised you haven't hit Milwaukee up for a mag drill. So much better than holding that drill. Haha I posted this before I heard you talk about it. Idk a good annular drill bit and a good reamer bit can go a long way. Use to have to drill threw 1/2 stainless steel frame than 3/8 steel maybe it was 3/8 stainless then 3/8 steel. Hardened steel and couldn't use the mag because of the stainless. Just used Milwaukee and would start with a 3/8 and ream her out to 5/8 but I always used that that mag when I could.
