Engine Swapping to a V8 in my Junkyard Truck

Welcome back to Junkyard Truck. Today is the day I FINALLY do the v8 engine swap and test out what this beast can do with some more horsepower. I hope you enjoyed this episode of Junkyard Truck, thanks for watching and liking.

About Junkyard Truck:
Junkyard Truck is an open-world off road driving, mechanic simulator, and job simulator. Start by buying an old truck from the junkyard. You'll need to replace some worn out or missing parts, and then put it back together and hope you did a thorough job. Once you get it running, you can use your truck to complete off road missions and jobs to earn some money. When the missions get too tough, visit the auto parts store to buy better engine parts, wheels, drivetrain parts, or accessories- or you might have to scavenge the junkyard if you're low on funds. Jobs and missions pay well, but you'll need to use that money to maintain your truck. When you think your truck is powerful enough, and you have enough bankroll for major repairs, use your truck to complete some of the map's challenges, such as races, rock crawls, hill climbs, and very destructive long jumps.

I'm an actual mechanic too. When drea said "I could be a mechanic" my response: OH GOD NO! Putting on a belt without a pulley in place, yeah dude I don't know why it's overheating too. It certainly isn't missing a crucial driven pulley or anything so the fan and pump are working just fine. Slap a bunch of parts together, bolts are optional. Just hopes and prayers will make it run.🙄

You're quite the mechanic. I'll post an update this week with a new v8-specific transmission and a twin turbo kit. But it looks like the V8 became too OP when combined with the recent traction update. I'll address those bugs you found too, but I have no idea how you did the creeper thing.

[@ElderonAnalas]

@Epstein Lived at Mar a Lago put oil in the air filter, yup, that's my guess.

[@00Fliphazerd]

Hey Drae, so the problem you're having with your engine overheating is because you never put the engine cooling fan back on the engine when you were upgrading the 4 cylinder. It goes in the front on the main pully. But I guess it doesn't matter anymore now that you have a new engine.

[@shawnlewis2709]

I love how Drae put a torque converter on a manual transmission and wonder why it doesn't fit. Keep up the excellent work Drae you give me hours of laughter.

The second race gave him the keys to the v8. The three race post to give you the v8 transmission which is not in the game yet.

[@canadianwithabeard]

Wrong on all accounts. Not sure why people insist on saying things like this.

[@PazuzuDeamon4horsemen]

@@canadianwithabeard because his videos. He got the v8 engine right after the second race. On top of the that the v8 transmission is not in the game yet. It has been confirmed by his videos. So how are you going to get the V8 transmission? The only one way the third race. Another wise the third race is worthless. So if you say his videos are wrong. Then need to watch the last video. Even people say you don't have to do the third race to get the v8. So third race has to be use for the v8 transmission which is not in the game yet.

[@canadianwithabeard]

@@PazuzuDeamon4horsemen No he didn't. The v8 is up for grabs from the very start of a new save for everyone. Walk to the container and just grab it. Try it. Unless you can't since you don't own it.

[@PazuzuDeamon4horsemen]

@@canadianwithabeard again he said it was post to be unlock after the second or third race. He got this info from the makes of the game. so again you are calling his videos a lie. go watch the video. The v8 transmission which is not in the game yet well be unlock with one of these races. I know about the bug that it alway unlock making the races worthless. it just a bug that it. it well be patch out soon. So like everyone keep saying you need to do at less the third race to unlock every thing for the v8 engine and the devs say the same thing. I well still use the bug but after they patch you need to know how to get it. understand why i said it.

[@canadianwithabeard]

@@PazuzuDeamon4horsemen I have been in the game since before it was released to EA. I talk to the developer all the time. I am aware of what the game is and how its played. Right now as the game sits the v8 block is open and free for EVERYONE to get. Later on the intention is to have the container locked and able to be opened through some challenges. Go play the game.. seriously. Play it. Launch a new game. Go to the container.. You can open it immediately and get the v8 block. It is NOT locked at this time and the developer will tell you the exact same thing. 🤦‍♂

[@3DPDK]

Whether you like to admit it or not, going back to the Car Mechanic Simulator, you have an intuitive sense of what an engine needs to make it work - better than a lot of folks I know. I also give credit to the developers for being *fairly* accurate with the engine's assembly and making it fairly easy to install the needed parts. You would be amazed at the number of people that don't know the difference between a cam shaft and crank shaft much less recognize them side-by-side. On the other hand, mistaking the air filter for an "oil thingy" is something my x-wife would do, =D

[@metern]

FINALY! He put on the cooling fan. That was the reason the old engine did overheat. He forgot to put on the fan on the old one 😖

Your engine overheated because you didn't have one of the gear wheels installed on the belt. Pause at 3:53. The negative money might have come from the poker match where you went for a negative amount. Some bad oversights on how this game code handles that sort of things.

The reason transmission looks so weird from underneath is because you are trying to connect a manual transmission to a torque converter. Torque converters are for automatics. Manuals use flywheels and clutches.

Who else only noticed today that Drae also left the gas cover green to match the door? xD Honestly, i think that the green parts look rly nice with the rest of it bein yellow; they provide a grt highlight note i feel. Tho i am **very** biased bcuz i always pair purple, yellow, and green cuz theyre my favourite colours with purple and yellow tied for first and green only a mm behind. The three colours rly complement each other to me, and while theres no purple here, the yellow and green rly make each other pop nonetheless. (This is ofc a joke, as we all know that Drae has alrdy fixed the colour and the whole truck is yellow now, as it shud be)
