The Sleeper Volvo Has One Major Issue...

[@redsquirrelftw]

I forgot how awesome the drift truck is. Looks like this is a nice upgrade. I loled at the ants just going around in circles on that bolt. If you let them be I wonder how long they would have went on until they realize what's going on.

[@_Gingium_]

Ant Racing Grandprix coming soon!

[@Avetho]

Fun fact about ants: If the pheromone trail crosses over just right, they can get stuck in what's called a death spiral (also called an Ant Mill), where they walk around and around until they run out of energy and their existence subscription expires, they aren't capable of realizing that there's a problem. A death spiral can happen if larger creatures wander through their scent trail and scuff it up causing the ants that are away from the colony to get lost and they follow each other, thinking the one they saw was one on the return journey, so they walk endlessly until they can't keep moving.

[@mtbiata]

@@Avetho I didn't think I'd be reading ant facts in a Gingium video but here we are 🤣

[@baloneyjusticecheezedog]

I don't know how but Gingium makes the best sounding cars on the internet. whatever he did to the drift truck got me wishing I owned a 1UZ.

[@timber8660]

Id love to see a video of you just having fun in all your cars again, been a whileee since last rally miata or molly video

Yeaaaaaah. Its hard to find a place close by to bring all the cars to have fun at :(

[@XPbIM3]

Just a couple of guesses: rebuilding a master cylinder not a bad idea, but also make sure your pedal shaft is not overextended to press a cylinder all the time. Also old brake hoses are possible to create a one-way-valve effect when they collapse their inner diameter.

[@icdproductions]

The brake hose was my thought. I've seen that before.

[@bubbalove5097]

Yup. My first thought was a hose causing the issue

[@I_eat_boxes]

Didn’t he replace all the hoses?

[@bubbalove5097]

It has happened on new hoses before too. Very rare but possible

[@I_eat_boxes]

Hmm interesting, guess we’ll find out in the next one 😂

[@hijodelodi9489]

Yo that long distance recording was so sick!!!! Super cool to see the B2200 again!

Yessir! New zoom lens looking sick! Going to be awesome at the Drift Event next week.

[@bmart7583]

I missed the drift truck so glad to see it back

[@_Gingium_]

Can't wait to redo it and really give it the justice it deserves!

[@kjelllindberg6987]

I had a strange brake problem once on one of my Volvos. This might also be your issue. It started to work as a one-way valve (looking up the brakes/or at least not realizing the pads as it should) and got fine again after some time or when everything cooled down. The cure was to replace the rubber brake line with a brand-new one. Problem solved... The parts that I think were involved were using a brake line compressor to prevent brake fluid to escape from the brake line during the replacement of the calipers making some inner lining change or getting harmed. OR that the brake line rubber hose might not have got in at the exact angle (slightly twisted) after the caliper exchange. Anyway replacing it with a brand-new one solved the issue.

[@bpierc43]

Crazy production quality! Love your stuff man

[@bpierc43]

@TheWanderingFrijole it’s not him

[@Drunken_Hamster]

From what I understand, you can upgrade those factory LSDs to be pretty sick with the right parts. And F150 S-spring, carbon clutch pack WITH a restack, and the right amount of preload should be all that it takes. As it wears out and 1-wheels, you re-shim it tighter and reset the preload. The other part of the equation is not going with factory preload specs, lol.

[@oldpetyt2289]

The amount of little things you guys are doing to the Volvo to try and make it as much of a sleeper as possible is insane, this is the true definition of a sleeper build.

[@martinrusten3979]

@Gingium im not sure but i recall that the orginal volvo brake line splitter you used under the car have a slider inside it, it wil light the brake light when it moves and probably block the side with the leak? Maybe thats why the brakes lock up

[@itsyaboipatrick5218]

The blow by is gonna spill out around turns. Add baffling, it’s the proper way to do it. Lots of easy ways like steels wool, Welding in baffles, ect.

[@shadowsandfire]

Dude, I LOVE the double plate to get the red behind the black! Soooo badass!

[@elijudkins2578]

amazing how you lashed the rear diff by hand. very skillful.

Still wild to think I found you back in the days of Forza builds. Been an honor and a pleasure to watch your journey Caleb

I don't know if you get told this enough but you're a major inspirations to me man I've watched every single one of your uploads for the past 4 to 5 years haven't missed a single one and in my opinion you are super underrated which doesnt make any sense to me cause everything you do is amazing not to mention you do almost everything by hand unlike a lot of other car content creators keep up the good work man i cant wait to see where you go man

Why a Welded instead of a LSD? I run a 1.5way LSD in my 4AGZE KE70 Corolla for drifting, and it works like a charm. Stoked to see drift truck content again! By far my favorite of your builds!

[@lou2737]

A tip with fusion 360 and unit conversions (as I saw you did it on google): Instead of manually converting it (which could sacrifice accuracy), even if your default units are inches, you can type the dimension in in mm as long as you follow it with "mm". i.e. I work in metric and need a 4-inch part, I would type in 4in instead of 100... mm.

[@JustAskFN]

This problem usually happenes because there is no room for the brake fluid to expand when it heats up, don't know exactly whats causing it, but i would check the master cylinder to make sure you didn't block off the vent ports by mistake.

[@JustAskFN]

should've watched the whole video, he already knows everything i just said

[@joogullae3456]

[@mrbeatle1221]

For the high power stuff, the Ford 8.8” is a great option. For the drift truck however, I think you should be using Toyota mini truck parts, like a V6 8” rear end. They have a third member instead of the differential carrier, so no more shimming lash. Same for the front sway bar, Toyota truck parts should be appropriately sized for the B2000

[@rookiefloridasportsman7787]

On the ford 88 you can over clutch the lsd by putting in the full new set and keeping in one of the old clutches. Works great for off-roading and burnouts but obviously I’ve never drifted my lifted truck.

[@KB325i]

The Volvo is finally coming together again. It’s great to see hard work pay off congrats gingium you’re the best

[@georgenaranjo8852]

love it when you revisit older projects and bring in your new knowledge it just goes to show how much youve grown

[@nidiahk]

I really really can't wait to see you blowing the doors off a viper or a mustang, I hope the volvo gets its run ins in Mexico soon :) amazing build

[@connorprudhomme2897]

Open the brake fluid reservoir and have some one lightly push on the brakes and you should have 2 streams of fluid shoot up from the compensating ports, if not then your rod from the pedal to the cylinder is still too long causing the brakes to lock up when hot. Need to make sure the compensating ports are open when not applied

[@gavinhouston1484]

Love the Volvo, but I have a special place in my heart for the 1UZ and 2UZ. And the drift truck is just BA as a truck, looking forward to more work on the drift truck! Also, please tell me that the welded rear diff is a temporary measure...

Break hose can heat up and collapse usually where the brackets are.

I like the footage of your truck in traffic. You don’t see a lot of footage like that. I decided to become a subscriber.

[@limesta]

If you're building positive crankcase pressure at all, run a check valve to the booster, a lot of turbo cars run one

[@keithparker7412]

Goin back to grassroots drifting with the welded diff, love it man

[@Lastrealjeep]

One of the many things I enjoy about watching you work. Your workspace is always clean, organized, etc... There are some other youtubers, that I still enjoy watching, but are total and complete slobs. How do they get anything done? Volvo is slick my friend.

[@Whosurdaddy71]

A lot of times the pin will break on welded gear 8.8. But if you got the lsd you can fill the sides in it with steels and no clutches and weld the steels cause they are splined to the axle.

[@Gczj13]

I’ve seen where the brake line will collapse internally and hold pressure to the caliper. It’s normally on aftermarket braided steel lines that are cheaply made

[@emersonb5764]

Defective brake caliper, or I’ve had many flex hoses between the frame and caliper collapse on the inside causing this. They look normal on the outside. And the flex hose is usually the cheapest and easiest component to replace. It usually only happens on old worn out ones but you never know.

[@kiltedsaint]

Next time you have a stuck diff stuff a rag between the ring gear and the pinion and spin the pinion/yoke. I have to do it to some stuck 10 bolts almost weekly.

[@tannermorgan9796]

This is one of the coolest and most impressive builds I’ve ever seen. Keep it up man!

[@Chasitek]

Ging out here doing big things with the new shop. Love it

[@parkerbanken1831]

Yesssss FDD Is gonna be so good this year you’re gonna enjoy it even tho the starter and trans? Are otw out

[@RearEngineShop]

The Volvo looks like a sleeper but sure doesn’t sound like one. I love the drift truck. 🤘

[@tsimm]

Just a thought on ur breaks I think the issue ur seeing is at the brake booster itself. u used a goe metro booster if I recall correctly, that runs on a very small engine deff not a big v8. Theres a spring that returns the diaphragm inside the booster. More vacuum small spring should equal brakes not wanting to let go

[@torbjornkrondahl8116]

Hi The brake problem you have is probably the brake servo that pulls the main cylinder , if the pedal is slightly of it active the valve and the vacuum pulls the brakes, next time it’s looking try to pull off the hose of the servo and the vacuum valve. I have been in this situation myself.

[@Pilot_graaape_45]

I know this will probably get lost in the comments but I will say it anyways just in case lol. Have you ever looked into an ARB Air Locker for your diff for the drift truck? I was thinking it may be a good option for maintaining street drivability, but on the track you get all the benefits of a welded diff all at the flip of a button. They're really stout too. I have one on my second gen cummins overlanded that probably pushes around 750 torque to the wheels and it can lock the rears and do smokey burnouts even with 37 inch tires. Just food for thought. keep up the great content, Cheers!

[@stilllmkp]

sometimes i feel like a welded diff

[@epp9122]

You could just have changed the clutchplates and springs too 😅😊 And yeah if you have any brake hoses thats old change them, and make sure you have some play in the brake linkage 😊

[@joeljakobsson7516]

leaving the axels in while welding may cause temepering of the axels and get them prone to breaking, so tack with axels in then push them out when doing the full weld!

[@bltoverlord3952]

Hey bro i love the build, im looking to ls2 swap my 1968 truck and i was wondering what valved exhaust you used cause yours sounds amazing

[@Loves2Jacket]

[@Wreckedekcoupe]

The ports for the catch can hoses need to be wayy bigger. People often use the oil fill cap to vent, dont know your power goals but should be at least half inch.

[@Wayne_Smith]

Would love to see the drift truck get the same attention the eclipse did. The B2200 is a great drift vehicle so turn it into a robot grade build. (keep it red!)

[@aidansontag6603]

I've got the Ranger version of your truck, what did you do to get it so low? I've been doing some research on how to get mine about that low and coming up short.

I had a similar issue with the brakes on my crx, it ended up being a check valve in the vacuum line leading to the booster. I replaced calipers and other things before I finally removed the vacuum line and it freed everything up and realized it could’ve fixed it for $15 lol

Could your hoses be bad on your rubber brake hoses. They will feed the caliper and cause the caliper not to return.

[@austinbignoli9250]

I'm curious why you didn't just buy a spool for the drift truck. Or do they not fit in a g80 carrier?

[@JamieBainbridge]

I love driving with a welded diff, it's so direct and predictable. Open diff should be the illegal one.

[@fl4shb4ckGaming]

Lol I like that. I've only driven a spool once, otherwise all my cars have been open until I got my 300c this year. It's an LSD. (Not counting trucks). I had a CTS before with about the same power but an open diff. The general driving experience is so little most people would never know. But when you get spirited or a little squairrely on ice, that LSD really shines

[@_Gingium_]

Yeah I'm starting to agree with ya

[@dennisnijenhuis5328]

is it not a thing that there needs to be a oneway valve on the brakebooster vacume line? i mean.. if the brake booster needs vacume from the intake to work.. and i it gets boost presure from the intake it presses on the mastercylinder ? you could test it by driving in vacume only.. if it keeps working then you know what the problem is :) i hope this helps 🤔💪

[@מחסןמרכזשירותידמרדכי]

you need to place a swaybar in the back to make it more controllable in a drift.. the front is less important.

[@Gideon-dc1lg]

Love your video’s man thanks for all the great content. Would love to see some merch again!

Bro if only the LF is seizing you probably have an issue with the brake hose. Sometimes they internally collapse when hot and won't let fluid out of the caliper. I'd replace the LF brake hose.
