[@adamjones2025]

I swear i will never complain again about servicing my diesel engine in my 4wd.

[@junkrust2182]

Nice work…. Now a helpful hint … use one bag per filter when removing the old filters put the bags around your hands … will keep your hands cleaner and less of a mess

[@renehebert3684]

Ça me rappel les années1983 quand j'étais apprentis mécanicien au C.N. .Je connais la mécanique de EDM Électro Diesel . Même si j'ai fais autre chose dans ma vie , ça reste en nous moi j'ai bien apprécié ce passage .

[@SOU6900]

And I thought changing the old and filter on my 95 7.3L Powerstroke was a pain in the ass.

[@johnmckenzie6252]

I liked every video I could find of "Epic Fred". Then this channel disappeared from my feed on KZbin. Well wishes to you "Epic Fred".

[@epicfred]

New video out now and more coming. Been busy with real life.

[@jam00723]

You can charge the michiana with shop air and it’ll make the job a lot more cleaner by blowing all the oil out of the filter housing.

[@billmoran3812]

Brought back not so fond memories. Used to do that on locomotives.

Romans 3:23 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Job 12:7-9 7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: 8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. 9 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this? Romans 10:9-10 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. JOHN 3:18 “He that believeth in Him is not condemned; but He that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Engine space looks fairly clean. Good on you for keeping it as such. Ship shape.

[@gliderp]

I got the exact same torque wrench.

[@epicfred]

It’s a fairly common one, never seem to lose that one.

[@jeffpurtell5676]

You work clean. That's nice to see.

[@epicfred]

I don’t like to clean, so I do my best.

[@jeffpurtell5676]

@@epicfred Agreed.

[@jeffpurtell5676]

Very cool. I like when it "sings" to you. A sweat band of some sort might be helpful?

[@garylarson6386]

you should see the fuel filters out of an emd sd40 at -25 when the fuel preheater failed, (jello) !!!

[@epicfred]

That engine didn’t have a coolant or fuel pre heaters. Im in Florida, so they thought it would always be warm.

[@rearspeaker6364]

the Jell-O you dont eat!!

[@shadowbanned69]

Sweating like a pig down there...looks awsome!!! Finally some good engine content...new sub

[@epicfred]

Thanks for the sub!

[@SupremeRuleroftheWorld]

you use the exact same torque wrench that i do. sounds exactly the same.

[@epicfred]

They're cheap and you never seem to be able to loose them

[@rearspeaker6364]

toss straight out of the housing, into a 40 gallon trash can. but mine was a 12-567, with only 6 elements.

[@rohanmaharjan9496]

Lol i make those filters

[@epicfred]

Glad to know there are still things that aren't made in China.

[@andreluizmachado9696]

[@carlossalas9510]

Broo I need your help since I don't have the service manual for the EMD 710 and 710 3G engine, could you help me in advance, thank you

[@adeeponionbreath]

Good content! Shakey cam making me woozy. Cant take much more.

[@epicfred]

Sorry about the shaky cam. I've been trying to edit that out and set the camera down before working in my later videos. Eventually I'll get one of those cool gyro sticks, but for now my cheap, homemade magnet base is the best thing I have.

[@alfredoherrera1694]

Epic Fred do you have videos of how to change oil in the EMD engine?

[@epicfred]

I don’t have a video, but for big engines like that you just pump the old oil out of the sump and pump new oil into it. Usually the same oil transfer pump is used for both operations.

[@thomas5223]

Here again in emd ville.

[@luizfernandopaquieli3709]

Fred, is it common seeing soot on EMD engines in the engine box air? I heard from a friend that he is facing this soot issue

[@rearspeaker6364]

turbo, or roots blown? on a roots engine, never seen soot.....

[@alfredoherrera1694]

Does anybody has videos on how to change oil in the same emd engine?

[@deangulberry1172]

Forgive me if I’m wrong but are you on a submarine I looked up train oil changes 😂

[@epicfred]

Lol no. That’s a tugboat.

[@iamfromthegov]

Thanks today was the day. All good second one tomorrow

[@abdoul-fataououedraogo965]

Hi please how much running hours you do this maintenance ?

[@rheneghade2775]

Hey buddy, can i ask you something about how to refill oil from that engine that you working on. Thanks.

[@ShainAndrews]

What is the change interval criteria? Hours, calendar, pressure drop?

[@lincolnworsham1085]

Release the shmoo!!!!

[@MemeBurger]

wow

[@Kitchfox]

What about the plug in the top of the filter housing?

[@epicfred]

Don’t worry, I put it back. I think my camera died before I finished up, there are a few things missing from that video.

[@majortomtogc]

Where does the oil from the filter housing drain to?

[@epicfred]

The sump for the engine.

[@majortomtogc]

@@epicfred Thanks!. New to these types of engines. Intriguing.

[@Bulldogg7414]

hot up in there isnt it. lol

[@XJLuxury]

Very cool video. Where did all the oil drain to?

[@epicfred]

It’s drains into the sump for the engine.

[@rearspeaker6364]

@@epicfred there is a drain valve for it, in the "ice cream" box next to the scavenging pump.

[@d2sfavs]

whats up with that noise when you open that cover is it real and what causes it?EMDs are always the best

[@epicfred]

That’s just gear whine. The microphone on the GoPro sucks, so it distorts sounds. It’s not as prominent as the camera makes it seem.

[@thomas5223]

on the strainers...gasket or rubber seal thx

[@epicfred]

Special video just for you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKDHdHyZh9iYr6s

[@DevlinKennedy]

at what frequency do you change the seal on the main housing cover?

[@epicfred]

I don't think that has a replacement interval. If it goes bad, then just replace it. I haven't worked on that boat for a little over a year now so if that has come up as then someone else would have done it.

[@LwB72]

To get your oil back into the filter housing, you just run your pre-lube pump until it fills up?

[@epicfred]

Yes, but you leave that little valve on top open.

[@LwB72]

The vent plug you took out?

[@epicfred]

@@LwB72 yes, otherwise the case will take forever to vent.
