Large Marge : Chapter 2!

[@johnjohannemann1220]

I am a 66 year old ASE and Ford master technician. I don’t think I have ever, and I mean, ever, heard a turbo charger explained the way that you did. Excellent job!

[@Ratkill9000]

Jeremy Clarkson years ago had an explanation, Exhaust gasses go in, witchcraft happens, and you go faster.

[@AreaDieselService]

Appreciate the kind words.

[@NineSun001]

I need another coffee ... the first time I read "I am a 66 year old ARSE master technician". Got a pretty good chuckle out of me.

[@tetedur377]

Same, only 68 years old, now retired. I worked at 3 different Ford dealerships in Southern California, my last one after I completed my 4-year degree.

[@andrewr2650]

While I know you prefer to show your ability to salvage these old components, i think this was a good reminder that not every part is always going to be repairable. Hopefully better luck on the next one!

[@skylinefever]

I agree. Also I like it because there are times when it is better not to rebuild a very bad part. Sometimes you find a better core, sometimes you buy new. Avoid excess risk of early failure.

[@mattlaptop5728]

Great explanation and a very professional service.

[@toddbomkamp3167]

Now that’s a knife

[@Dave-eo4pi]

That, was a comment generator, some also have to comment. 😂

[@andreweisan9613]

That is by far the best solution as it will be problem free for as long as Jon has the Excavator

[@AreaDieselService]

We agree!

[@derekadams729]

Great service you guys provide for you customers. And all that for $3900? That's a great deal.

[@NineSun001]

Well, this part will be problem free.

[@RGSABloke]

WOW, did John get a mega bargain there for quality parts, well Done Area Diesel.

[@royb.1441]

Yes I agree - that was a great deal!

[@DuaneMckenzie80]

Figured turbo would of been several k alone. Great price imo.

[@dieselhatz4247]

I was surprised the manifold came out more expensive.

[@druming9]

Your turbo crash course could be a standalone video! A "diesel 101" series would be a great resource.

[@wpirentals2111]

Being a retired owner operator trucking guy, we all understand replacing turbos at least I do. The presentation of process on this was simply excellent. The affiliation with Jon @ FarmCraft101 is awesome. KZbin and content creators like you guys get the bigger part of my recreational time, it's so good. Thank all of you guys for sharing your talents.

[@joepiker]

Really reasonable price ( I thought at least $5000)...Another really informative and well photographed video!

[@AreaDieselService]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@Sainter5538]

It would be great if all traders did what you guys at Area Diesel do, Such a pleasure to watch for the detail given regarding the in's and out's. Great job done by you guys! Much appriceated.

[@AreaDieselService]

Our pleasure!

[@NetTopsey]

I'm gonna date myself here. 1:56, flashback to Crocodile Dundee, "That's a knife" 😆 Well done!

[@mauricestevenson5740]

Why did I watch this video? I do not own or operate large diesel-powered equipment. But I was brought in by your man's clearly enunciated presentation on (1) the difference between a turbocharger and a supercharger, (2) how a turbo works, (3) what was needed for a repair, (4) why a repair was not possible, and (5) how the problem would be best resolved. I was impressed at your man's knowledge of the subject and (and this is a biggie) his integrity when he explained why replacement was impossible or undesirable. The presentation of the final solution proposed was comprehensive and the reasons for the pricings easy to understand. I liked the acknowledgement that the pricings might cause alarm in some minds but the explanations of them were clear and reasonable. If I was near Area Diesel Service and looking for the sort of services they offer, I would go to them with confidence that I would receive good treatment, good results and the level of courtesy I have come to expect from many US citizens.

[@davidbarr1579]

I really enjoyed the theory class on turbos!!

[@AreaDieselService]

Glad to hear it!

[@Dave-ty2qp]

That was the best presentation for your company that you could have possibly made. I do know that almost every youtuber that does diesel repair refers to you, so that in itself is worth a lots. Thanks for the video. It was very informative.

[@AreaDieselService]

Wow, thank you!

[@StreuB1]

One of the few points of pride in our state of Illinois. ADS is just the best of the best. They've always come through on pulling projects and they will nearly always get you out of a bind, one way or another. Folks you can count on, for sure. On top of it.....actually telling people PRICES!!!!!! That is unheard of and is a blessing for all of us to see. Honestly, $1600 is NOT BAD for that manifold!!! Best part, ADS will stand behind ALL of it!! Sending thanks from up in Aurora!!

[@ewjorgy]

John from Farmcraft101 is an incredible guy and you guys are amazing for supporting him! Thank you! But have you SEEN large Marge? I think before you ship those parts you need to bang them up a bit, add a touch of rust and be sure to randomly change the size of a few of the bolts... Otherwise it just won't look right... Thanks again and all the best from California! 🧡

[@jeremyupton850]

This must be the best vid I have watched explaining how a turbo works, explanation of the various components and their functions and potential issues/symptons. Clear precise and straight to the point.

[@myrandabrown]

They aren’t all salvageable. Love this collaboration. Can’t wait to see Jon’s content.

[@emmanueledettorre2087]

Never seen such simple yet complete explanation about turbochargers

[@opendstudio7141]

Large Marge clip tickled my funny bone. Good one.👍 Jon bought that thing knowing it was hammered. So he knew the backend cost was going to be extensive. Overall, the entires series on this excavator has been an intriguing testament of determination and adaptability. Very educational.

[@AreaDieselService]

Thanks 👍

[@marcosmota1094]

I'm an IT dude in Manhattan, doing building maintenance as a purgatory job. I have to say that ADS is legit, diesel moves the world and these folks are the real deal. Learned a ton, and I have 100s of hours of Diesel Creek, with a little KT3406E, under my belt.

[@danjeffrey1531]

Before I start giving compliments you should know -- I don't fix heavy machinery. I have used some and I am thinking about buying a basket case skid loader, but I am not a qualified reviewer. I watched this because I was watching FarmCraft101 and I am curious about all mechanical things. That said, this guy (didn't catch his name) is VERY good at describing technical details. I sort of knew hat a Turbo-Charger was before this video, but I have never seen it described so clearly. I spend my years describing technical stuff to other people. I have done that for about 30 years. But I am not as good as this man at presenting the details. He gave just enough info to teach me without drowning me in pedantic details. This is a great video. Thank you!

[@Kenneth65]

The price for all of that was alot cheaper than I thought it would be, I guessed around $5k to $6k for all that (I was surprised the manifold was more expensive than the turbo).

[@Renvoxan]

Looks like you guys have great expertise and service. The world need more people like you

[@JarheadCrayonEater]

Hands down the most outstanding description I've ever heard! BTW, this is one of the rare times outside of my former years as a Turbofan Test Engineer for Lockheed and Rolls-Royce that I've heard the term "labyrinth seal". We used them in the Trent series turbofan jet engines.

[@paulmanson253]

Also found between pistons in two stroke motorcycles. In various complexities.

[@AreaDieselService]

Wow, thanks!

[@mr19471985]

I am a retired heavy truck man who dealt ready mix equipment and enjoyed your time and explanation of what you folks did to fix Large Marge.

[@ginopumadera4265]

Thorough and clear amidst iron clad customer service!!! Can’t beat that with a dead turbo!!!

[@watcherofwatchers]

This is a man that knows what he is talking about. It's always great to see people that are experts in their craft!

[@phillipdean9879]

Great solution to a customers problem. I’m sure Jon will be happy. Really enjoy both channels. Great viewing..🇦🇺🍺🍺

[@justvideos6664]

I can’t wait for the Install video of all of these New parts & just think HOW MUCH BETTER Large Marge is going to sound & operate with a New Turbo & exhaust !! Woo-Hoo !!

[@kd2eat]

I'm impressed. When I saw all that ironmongery on the table, my first guess was $10-12k. I think you provided great value there!

[@tracybowling1156]

Oh no! It's too bad that the turbo was too worn to reuse. But Jon is good at replacing new parts. He is so happy with ya'll. He says it all the time. You did an excellent job of explaining things so this old girl can understand. Excellent video!

[@nekkiddan]

What a great explanation of how a turbo works, tearing it down, looking at the problems and how to solve them. I love tractor pulling and am fascinated by how many turbos can be put on an engine. I seen three but heard of four! And they're all just air stuffers! I've seen them glowing red from the heat. It's amazing they stay together!

[@gerry343]

An excellent description of the function and design details of a turbocharger. Can't wait to see all these quality parts fitted back to Large Marge. You're right about Jon's channel at FarmCraft101, he sure has some interesting projects.

[@craigsudman4556]

That turbo charger definitely exceeded it's designed life expectancy. Great video thumbs up.

[@AreaDieselService]

Thanks 👍

[@davidhorton4611]

Really a very good explanation of how a turbo works. Even a non mechanic like me now understands the concept.

[@imdeplorable2241]

Excellent, EXCELLENT video. Your smooth, concise explanation makes the whole turbocharger process understandable. And, yes, I'll "tell 'em Large Marge sent" me. 😆😆😆 Ah-hahaha-ha

[@AreaDieselService]

Thanks for watching!

[@jameswillmore8249]

I seldom see such a clear, and concise and intelligent presentation.

[@wademizelle3433]

That’s a great one, thanks and take us along on any repairs. Very informative and educational.

[@charleswelch249]

Large Marge should be feeling better after the new heart and new lungs. The rest of the engine was in good shape, so hopefully, everything you have done will make it run like new again. Great job, ADS.

[@truthorfiction407]

"You get what you pay for." has never been truer. Harsh, but so true. So is life, aitn't it.

[@0r1x]

This was the most informative video. Super interesting! Thank you for the lesson. Jon is going to LOVE replacing his exhaust manifold.

[@redrover9988]

I appreciated your explanations of a Turbo Charger and their inner workings. I like that kind of talk. Thank You.

[@AreaDieselService]

Our pleasure!

[@BB-wt8md]

Great job guys. We can tell you take pride in your work. It shows. We know who we will call when we need diesel work.

[@mmdias87]

Love to see this! Awesome stuff! Not just walking away but fixing it and following up. Great stuff.

[@drummer0864]

I want to thank you guys for doing good work for John as I've been watching him for a long time, and he has parsed y'all in the past for the work you've done for him. He is a hard working man and doesn't need some incompetent hack making his job unnecessarily difficult trouble shooting and backtracking on work that was supposed to already done. So, if I lived close and needed your services, I would not hesitate using your services, because he has prasad the work you have done for him. kootoes to guys.

[@mrmerkin6203]

Large Marge is gonna be a happy camper!!! Well done!

[@johnhassell6103]

Great work guys. Good to see a business that really helps the customer out.

[@Gazman110]

What a brilliant explanation of the turbo system and components. Although I kind of knew how it works, now I really know how it works and relative periferal influences. Absolutely loved the video. Thank you

[@davetaylor4741]

For a complete lung replacement, I reckon that is pretty good. Australian price would be not available. Buy it in from abroad. Twenty middlemen, plus shipping, guarantee over $5000. If anyone could even be bothered to try to find it. Customer service is not big in Australia. The customer is usually viewed as a work inconvenience.

[@zorrorides1]

I have dealt with heavy equipment for a long time in and around Michigan. That price for the material and work you have done is VERY good. I would gladly work with you folks anytime if I wasn't retired to my own little farm. Nice work and I loved the paint job on the fuel delivery sys.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

As a Ase Toyota and Ford Master Tech I can't say I have ever heard anyone explain turbos Better then you guys Nice work as always good video 27:34 @Area Diesel Service

[@mojow1665]

Appreciate the thorough teardown and explanation of why that old KKK turbo is not rebuildable. It's clearly time for a new turbo. Thanks for being reliable problem solvers. I'm sure Jon appreciates the 'nearly bolt-on" solution despite the serious cost hit.

[@Lycras]

Nice explanation of air forced induction systems on engines 👍

[@randommcranderson5155]

1:55 love your box cutter!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

The end was Hilarious 😂 33:20 @Area Diesel Service

[@timothybohman8892]

That is a really good price for an all new turbo exhaust system. Nice job Area Diesel

[@bigjohnson4983]

Wow great job ADS, great job explaining how turbos work for those that don’t know anything about them and great job taking care of Farmer John and what a sweet deal for John and Large Marge on the new parts, when I need “Stuff” for my farm junk I will reach out to you guys, keep up the good work and I’ll keep watching!

[@jimmysurfed]

This should make Large Marge and Jon very happy.

[@heatherbrown2761]

Like I told the Knight Rider Historians y'all are the best in the business. =) Anyone that comes to y'all for help are in good hands. Fact

[@jacktyler5186]

Appreciate your concise explanation and good English usage. Good job.

[@erik_dk842]

The causes for oil leak explanation is gold.

[@jasonhovey815]

Great job finding all the parts for Jon. Love both channels really like the Collabs you guys do think Jon is the 3rd or 4 one you guys work with. Keep up the great work

[@richardphelan8414]

Awesome show this morning ,this is what you can expect when you get a bargain on a old piece of equipment you guys are the best , at least Jon has a solution for the problem with Large Marge and in reality I thought the price from Area Diesel service was down right reasonable considering it's all new from the exhaust manifold out .

[@EricHaskins71]

Love the vids!!! Found you guys originally with Matt at Diesel Creek and glad you are working with Jon!!!!

[@slypig24]

I think Large Marge will be renamed to fast Marge or Clean Breathing Marge after fitting new lungs and exhaust...very well explained and edited. Great episode...cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 🦘

[@pjp80s]

Wow! What a great video! Love your narration… informative and funny! Prices look great too… I’m going thru another turbo project on my Cummins…. Will check you out for sure!

[@douglasthompson2740]

Very interesting, well presented video. Highly informative. Good combination with John's videos. Direct and to the point.

[@AreaDieselService]

Thank you kindly!

[@fireboyandy]

Props to Area Diesel and whoever is doing your video editing. Great content!

[@AreaDieselService]

Much appreciated!

[@MikeYoungs-g2n]

Very nice explanation and I expected the total to be much much higher.thank you

[@dquick282]

Another great repair try but excellent job sourcing parts!!

[@jimbloomer3479]

Love the box cutter

[@RANDALLOLOGY]

I have learned a lot on this video . Now from episode 1 and 2 l see why John likes you guys

[@largemarge1603]

LargeMarge approves this video!

[@whathasxgottodowithit3919.]

Good job Guys, at a good price, one cant make do and mend on Diesel Injection Systems, and Turbo Charger Systems. Thank you for posting. All the best from the U.K.

[@mathewprystash4832]

Damn, getting some FarmCraft Behind The Scenes

[@richardverville3893]

Large marge sent me ! Great video ! Thank you.

[@libsrdum]

What a great, thorough explanation. I am truly impressed. Loved saying "stoichiometric". Haven't heard that since college chemistry classes. Thanks.

[@rafsxful]

Thanks a lot for all the great explanation. Thanks for sharing all that info and your knowledge

[@twwtb]

Very good explanation about turbocharging. Also, I think the best solution given the condition of Jon's turbo. I just hope his engine can live up to it.

[@jdclark218]

Great explanation on turbo theory. Thanks for the vid!

[@audiopath64]

Big audio quality improvement with the new mic!

[@AreaDieselService]

Glad to hear it.

[@JFirn86Q]

Very cool to watch! Thanks ADS, you guys have been a godsend for so many of these difficult old projects on YT and that's really cool.

[@proberts34]

Thanks for sharing this video, Curt. I watched this shortly after it was released a couple days ago, but I didn't have time to do a commentary. I do now. . . Starting a running commentary. • Mmmm, those snazzy injectors and that injection pump for Large Marge (go watch that video, people!). They helped Jon a lot. 👍 • Egad! Now THAT'S a knife. . .and quite a box opener! 😉 • Do you have a t-shirt with the Schmoo definition on it, especially with the gritty graphic? • Thanks for the crash course in how turbochargers work. It helps orient the parts of the audience less familiar with them. . .and it's just interesting to listen to. • Hah. The turbine sitting on Curt's head. 😃 • Related comment about Curt's description of "excessive crankcase pressure" or "blowby", which is usually caused by bad piston rings allowing exhaust gasses pass into the crankcase. Whenever Clinton at C&C Equipment is examining a piece of equipment, he starts the engine, and then at some point he removes the oil filler cap. If he sees smoke puffing out, it has blowby, and he likely won't consider offering a bid on it, because it needs an engine rebuild (piston rings or cylinder sleeves). So, if you're ever considering buying a piece of equipment and it has blowby, think long and hard about whether or not you are willing to do an engine rebuild in the near future. • Alright, you've flashed up that schmoo definition 3 or 4 times now. Pausing the video to see if you have a "Schmoo" t-shirt. If you do, I'm buying it. One moment please. . . Awww, no "schmoo" t-shirt. In fact, no t-shirts at all. I already have the gloves and fender cover. Get a couple t-shirts, bro. 😋 • So, back to the action. • Welcome to this video, Eli. Great to have you with us. • Off to an ominous start. The bolts on the turbine housing are "not good". • Removing the turbine housing from the turbo. Wow! That's a lot of hammering. 🤪 • Time for a little overnight baking. You know, like a cake. 🤒 600F (315C) for about 6 hours, to burn off all the gunk and schmoo. 😉 • Hah! The burned off gunk and schmoo coalesced into a "Like & Subscribe" cardboard sign. 😂 • Ouchies. Turbine housing looking very pitted. Heat shield missing its hat. Bearing housing might be salvageable. Compressor housing and compressor wheel look okay, but the turbine wheel has a worn hub and might not be recoverable. • A quick rundown on the status of the parts, and "However. . .bad news". WAH WAH wah Wah (I don't know how to spell that "you lose" sound from The Price is Right gameshow, so go easy on me). The turbine wheel is officially a lost cause. And, of course, the hat-less heat shield can't be reused. So, we'll have to order replacements • Uh, oh. Parts (turbine wheel and heat shield) are not available. 😢 • We're back with Curt at the parts counter. It's official, ADS was not able to save Large Marge's turbocharger, due to parts not being available. That hatless heat shield has cancer (probably from all that smoking, eh Jon?), but ADS could make one, if necessary. The turbo wheel, however, required replacement. Did I mention "parts not being available? And the turbo housing is scrap and not readily available. • And here's Marge's solution. . .an entirely new exhaust system, from stem to stern. . .a new exhaust manifold, a new turbocharger, and a new exhaust system with a muffler. Large Marge WILL breathe again! 👍 • A quick explanation of turbo lag, with a delightful video clip of a mouse running in a wheel on a turbo. Awwwww. 🙂 • Wow, that's a snazzy exhaust system. 👍 • Curt summarizing Jon's upcoming video. "He's going to have to do some cutting. He's going to have to do some welding. He's probably going t have to say some four-letter words." 😂 Looking forward to it. 👍 • And now. . .the million dollar question, as per usual. What did it cost? For the inspection of Marge's existing turbo and attempt to clear her of all the cancer. . . no charge. Bless you, ADS. Editor's note: I'll just summarize the solution's price. . .$3,825, for an exhaust system, with turbo, that will likely be the last parts standing on Marge decades in the future. • Curt, you and the skilled artisan at ADS are absolutely the best. Well done, and thanks again. 😉

[@AreaDieselService]

Appreciate the commentary. Very nice.

[@cmans79tr7]

I love the "Price is Right" bidding clip and Bob Barker faint. And yeah, i dont want to give you any ideas, but i think you forgot to add 40% for "in flat tion." 😛 and further, thanks for the education on turbo wear characteristics, some of which i did not know about. I'm old, so i remember early turbo introduction to automobiles reliability issues decades ago, so I still want to avoid a turbo in any of my cars as long as i can, recent advances on automotive turbo installation tech notwithstanding.🤔

[@robertdraper7258]

Great job on making an Informative Video! Jon made a great decision on trusting Y'all to get "Large Marge" back in Good running condition!

[@Ian-n5v]

You do great video Cheers Ian

[@krz8888888]

Turbo is much cheaper than I expected, on the shelf at ADS too!

[@punkyhollow6115]

You guys are the masters of your universe. Well explained!

[@AeRoSpaceman-1]

Best video ADS ever came out with. Keep up with this format! Just as a request, film in 4k if you can. Always small parts that can get a better pic! Great job as always ADS.

[@robertbobo9754]

I know when I first started watching I thought it would be boring. Now I am glad I stayed! Very informative and to the point. Keep up the good work! I see a video and I am ready to watch 😊😊😊 I thought I knew a lot. I have learned a lot on every video. Keep up the awesome work! Thank you ❤😊😊

[@ericscott7335]

Great content and an excellent alternative for John.

[@francisbarbeau1862]

Great Job as always! A pretty damn good explanation on how a Turbo charger works! Keep up the good work!

beautiful explanation of how this works wow

[@stephensimpson5283]

Awesome explanation! Large Marge is going to breathe again.

[@vossierebel]

Whooppee... Large Marge is going to be like new... I can well imagine Jon entering her into the local drag races!! 😁😁

[@shaunhubbard4738]

Very impressed with your service and honesty. Thank you for the videos.

Sweet! I hope this means The Beast will be running soon.

[@dennyporter1315]

I have the exact same box opener! Sometimes it doubles as a letter opener. Very good expanation of a turbo charger.
