Last Of The 6.2 Bullet Proofing! NO DROPPED VALVES or STUCK LIFTERS!

[@gopurdue02]

I've been following the channel for at least 4-5 years and can't remember the last time I saw that much green with drone footage!

[@Zogg1281]

I'm not used to seeing your fields looking so green!! I definitely like the look. Definitely thanking God for the rain 😊👍👍👍👍👍

[@WelkerFarms]

We need rain bad but the crops are looking good at the moment 👌

[@96lapiscoupe1]

It looks like you have a decent chance this weekend. 🙏

[@johndemeen5575]

Horseshoe only above a door outside, points up. That’s how grandmother had them. Million thanks for growing food us. We the people. St.Paul,Minnesota.

[@StevenMeckstroth]

Horseshoe should always have the open facing up to catch all the good luck. 😊

[@duaneb193]

The fox kits had to be the perfect intro!

[@anthonydemarco2583]

Great to see all the green! I pray the Lord continues to bless you with rain.

[@WelkerFarms]

🙏

[@normfromhawaii1173]

I appreciate how much you help each other, a model for any family to follow. I know full well how much support from my own family has made my life and hopefully theirs' better too. Mahalo Nui for showing us this part of your lives. with much Aloha...

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

The one thing about your videos I enjoy is consistant audio. The shadow told the tale. Love the moist and muddy soil. Praying for more.

[@zarb88]

Scott bothering Nick when hes trying to work takes me back. nice video loved the intro.

[@mikebutcher6452]

Some great scenery in the beginning.

[@banjobenson9348]

crops have a good start, fox are so cute.

[@badgerpa9]

Them Fox sure are adorable. We had a family for a number of years until the coyotes killed them off. Fox never bothered the chickens, coyotes did until they got lead poisoning. I really miss my 65 Pontiac StarChief and 67 Olds Cutlass. Man they were great cars, should never have sold them but the rust belt rusts out everything. Had Pontiac GrandPrix that I really like also. I hope you have many years problem free on your truck, my 2003 Yukon has run great, only issue is the rust like everything.

[@mikefarrow5271]

Fox’s just made a den in the middle of the field. That is so awesome!!

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Good luck fixing your truck Nick

[@JimG31547]

Great to see the green fields. Here is hoping you guys have a record crop this year.

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Nice looking crops Welker Farms

[@daledurbin2354]

Green sure looked good.

[@ML-lg4ky]

For those of you that have a 6.2 engine and want to upgrade to a bulletproof engine check out the L98 6.0 ls crate engine. Very reasonable and no AFM/DFM.

[@faithwolf5422]

Find the canister filter back by the fuel tank and remove the filter, and clean it. That should do it. Had that code on my 13 GMC Denali, and that fixed that issue.

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video Nick and Scott. It was so interesting and informative and learned about the spring kit you got. Seems like all went good until that valve dropped. But both of you saved it by going through the ports and got the valve back up - - yeah yeah!!!!!!!! Close call on that one Nick. So glad the head did not have to come off. Thanks to Scott for helping and he knew the pointers from his engine redo. Thanks Scott. Glad you are back going again. Take care of your engine Nick. About it I guess So wonderful to see Green in your fields!!!!!! Hopefully this is a great year for all of you!!!!!! With my blessings!!!!!!!! The Iowa farm boy. Steve. PS. Glad you put the lucky horse shoe on your equipment. Your fields that you showed us are looking wonderful with that beautiful Green showing. Blessings for good crops this year!!!!!! This is the year!!!!!!

[@larrydavidson3402]

Love the drone footage and the fox at their den.

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video Nick LegArms and Bob

[@richardttu]

I have been a subscriber for many years. I cannot remember seeing the fields so green. I know I have not been the only one praying for a good season for your family. And the fox family is so stinking cute...Hopefully, they will appear in other videos.

[@boerbrabant]

3:37 That shot must be CGI its so perfect them little foxes.

[@johngreydanus2033]

That reminds me, didn't they build a chicken coop, how's that going?

[@AndreZA979]

That valve dropping must have stopped your hart. Glad you could recover. Those fields are super green, don't recall every seeing that before, happy for you!

[@vburke1]

My first car was a '76 Olds Cutlass Supreme. It was like driving a sofa :)

[@bradpogue3448]

The crops are growing and looking great. Hopefully you will continue to get rain. That was an awesome video, god bless

[@mshafer2006]

Good call on getting the 6.2 updated. Also good call on using Texas Speed parts.

[@JimLahey14]

Ahh when drifting and farming collide. good old LS bulletproofing. One of the most common upgrades done. That kit is amazing compared to a few years ago before it was available

[@chipps1066]

Wow ,beautiful fox pups!

[@pdrphil8159]

You guys fix anything & everything.

[@charlesroer972]

Changing out the springs is a good insurance policy . Lifters being roller makes them heavier so inertia is in effect . Harder on rockers ,lifter rollers and springs . Don use old keepers new hardened keepers will work nicely .rockers and trunnions no needle bearings . I always install screens with epoxy and cow magnets in corners of cylinder heads no parts in the oil pan that will lock up oil pump or scatter particulate through oiling system . I even take cow magnets place them out side the oil filter can with big hose clamp around them so won’t fall of over time . Making oil filter a catch can . Which u cut open to examine for particulate matter. Do your own oil analysis. Been doing this since the 1960s. Oil consumption is also from bad or failing crank case ventilator . Also intake manifold gaskets retorque intake

[@ChrisHarding-lk3jj]

They make rocker trunion kits with shileds that contain the needles so they can never come out even if they fail.

[@devilschild]

Praise be to God... I prayed you wouldn't suffer through another dry year. Bless you all.

[@waynesogge5802]

You guys work so well together and thank you for sharing God bless you and your family

Hey Hollywood don't worry, I clear my evap code too on my jeep, been doing it over a year now lol, vacuum lines are real in new vehicles nowadays, it's absolutely rediculous how many there is, good work, you 2🇺🇲💪👍✊

[@lindanelson8400]

That's really cool finding that artifact in the field. Must have been from an early version of a tracked field vehicle. 😊🐎🇺🇸 Yes, I agree with you. The GMC should easily go another 200k miles. My 02 Silverado with the 5.3 has sailed by the 325k mile mark. Still purring like a kitten and quiet as a church mouse.

[@rogerembry4777]

You know the old saying ashes to ashes dust to dust thanks to chevys our tools will never rust

[@ChrisHarding-lk3jj]

You definitely are confused on that one, the saying goes "ashes to ashes dust to dust if it wasn't for fords our tools would rust"

[@golfbravowhiskey8669]

That was some pretty good opening scenery Btw, here in West Texas in the oil field we have six or seven 2020 trail boss 6.2l all of them have well over 200,000 miles one of them just turned 310,000 yesterday. And as far as I know none of them have had a single issue. I work in that same environment mine is a 2022 trail boss that has 185,000 on it already And the only issue I ever had was when it was fairly new and under warranty the AC compressor locked up other than that just gas and oil and tires.

[@steveshoemaker6347]

Thanks fellers all over again lol.....God Bless y'all..... Old Shoe🇺🇸

[@LaurieBednar]

Great to see green!

[@MrGerritStok]

Yep, nice colours in the fields. Start to look as green as the Netherlands. Laura knows! Very nice. I like it more then the shop or unther the hood of a GMC. It"s more for the mecanics amongs us. The intro yeah, so nice! See you! Blessings. Ps. I tought you guys had kids, isn"t it?

[@mtcelticharper]

I wish we were as green as the Netherlands! It is so lush and gorgeous there. ❤

[@cedricbroussard8738]

Awesome job, Nick 👍🏻

[@Bradford-h7d]

Unless someone already told you.... the horseshoes above the mystery room needs to be turned up so that your good luck will stay in. You need all the help you can get to keep the moisture in the ground.

[@gilreynolds9282]

Nick finally found a use for the old speed handler. I still have a couple but never use.

[@marcmo7138]

I used comp cams caged bearing kit on my 5.3. The kit you used looks a bit easier.

[@a05223]

Looks like you have some good crop prospects. I beleive there is a rope trick to hold up valves. Pushing the rope in spark plug hole so it wads up inside and when piston is rotated up the valve can't fall as the rope takes up space.

[@gregmaddock8969]

The way Scott messes with you Nick reminds me of my brother Kevin messes with me.

[@Wollsie]

If you do end up replacing that evap canister and vent line, I recommend routing it up towards the transmission. I sometimes can get them close to the master cylinder, anything to get away from the rear of the vehicle. (GM please)

[@erickamekonapeper4007]

5:14 Brother Nick do you ever watch Vice Grip Garage? Deric is really good at fixing vehicles and driving them thousands of miles home. He has been teaching us about fixing vehicles that look like they will NEVER run again just thought you might like it. 😏🖖🏼🇺🇸

[@LordMustangGT93]

And chevy used hollow valve springs, those are known to drop too, tried to tell you when you did the engine to have them done......

[@ohiofirstresponderpics4295]

Good job guys

[@brian2359]

Nick, when you put the truck in clear flood mode and turned the engine over, did you hear the engine gallop? Next time you get around to it, do another clear flood start and listen to the engine as it turns over. It should be smooth and not have a different sound

[@RichardThompson-gc1cf]

Hahahaha Hate to say it but, I'm not a fan of GM products, have had nothing but issues with them in the past and will never ever own one. Great video as always, cheers :)

[@williamking6531]

That horseshoe was good luck. It corrected your screen.

[@bigld-cr4oq]

if you have spare parts left over it just means you made it better

[@dooformuladlx]

Hey you should do a compression test on your engine, when you were cranking it over you can here that one cylinder is down on compression likely the one with the ugly spark plug.

[@WelkerFarms]

I hope it is good, hardly 10k on new engine 😔

[@TallTexasGMan]

Not sure what is going on, but KZbin showed me this video on Sunday, now I am getting it as a new video today Wednesday.

[@johnholm8175]

I have even seen pushing s.mall diameter rope into the cylinder to keep the valve from dropping too far into the cylinder.

[@davidfarrish9000]

Did you think of changing the valve seals when you changed the springs.

[@Old-bold-pilot]

Interesting story, 1968 I was learning to fly in a Cessna, landed with a rough engine. Old mechanic said it was a stuck valve. He pulled the valve cover off, pulled the spark plugs and stuffed the cylinder full of rope. Then pulled the valve spring off, pushed the valve into the cylinder and eventually worked the valve stem out the spark plug hole. Using emery cloth he cleaned the stem and guide. Reversed the procedure putting everything back together and the Lycoming engine ran like a champ. Cheers.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@robo1210]

Can also get tuning to shut that evap code off.

[@tlp8ntball]

The other part of the rocker arm that is not the bushing is called the trunion

[@benpattinson1]

Do you guys ever use a low disturbance sub soiler to “deep rip” your ground? Would that improve water infiltration from rain / melting snow?

[@christheoutlaw5748]

Replace your gas cap I was having the same code pull up on my Chevy and the light kept coming on so I replaced the gas cap and it hasn’t been on since and Chevy have a deal where if you leave the truck running when putting gas in it will say the same code but I would start with the gas cap before spending a lot of money on parts it might not be

[@Bigstrapper]

Nick, what weight of oil are you running in the 5.3L

[@PSchuler92]

Those foxes are so cute.

[@wackowacko8931]

The evap code for a leak in the system is almost always a bad gas cap. This is a SUPER common code among all brands of cars. Get a new gas cap and it should go away. The word you were looking for at the start of the video for mounting the rocker/bushing replacement onto was a trunnion.

[@WelkerFarms]

Unfortunately it isn't that, have put two on. It is somewhere in the EVAP tubing or Evan canister 😔 one day I'll get motivated and replace the whole system.

[@wackowacko8931]

@@WelkerFarms Next step is to hook it to a smoke machine, it pumps visible smoke throughout the Evap system. You just look for where the smoke comes out. It's where any reputable shop or dealer would start. A smoke machine can be pricey and has limited use on a farm where most vehicles are diesel - so maybe you have a shop diagnose it for you, then you do the work of the repair. Replacing newer version Evap parts can add up, so that would be my advice if it bugs you enough to bother fixing it.

[@floydferguson5366]

Great video!

[@ReneeGuggenmos]

How do you get the mountains, etc, to look so much closer? Plus what are the names in the windows of your tractors and sprayers?

[@mk96lx]

to me, It kind of sounds like you have lower compression on one of the cylinders. perhaps the one with the plug issue? when you were cranking it in flood clear mode it sounded like the starter cranked faster on 1 of the cylinders. Something to think about when you check the plugs next time.

[@edkern0749]

The bars you were holding for the rocker arms are called trunnions.

[@markmarcenko5738]

Were the fox cubs filmed by a drone? Beautiful pic with the green fields!

[@markreetz1001]

I have a 2015 GMC also, how much you charge me to do the same treatment on my truck?? Great videos guys.

[@lynnschantz9185]

I know dumb question coming, will the surface crust over if the sun beats on the wet moist soil? We have that problem with the one field that has a little clay in it.

[@quercusrubra777]

I wonder if there is an antifreeze leak into that cylinder where the spark plug is crusty?

[@davidkimmel5153]

Great job

[@danslawncare8594]

The air pressure you put in the cylinder will push thepistons to the bottom

[@396ssbbc]

Check us out at BTR next time!

[@bigmikes2140]

Looks like winter blend gas on the plugs. But who knows

[@jame3shook]

that Evap leak could be the seal on the fuel tank. I replaced the gas cap on my Buick and the Evap leak went away.

Older Toyota Tundra with the 5.7 would have been the ideal truck. No issues with them other than horrible fuel miles.

[@hokie9910]

There is not a gas V8 engine that even comes close to the Toyota 5.7 in regards to durability and power. The domestics can do one but not the other. As far as gas mileage I’m tired of people saying the Toyota is so much worse, it’s not. Go onto fuelly and look at a 2017 tundra vs a Ford F-150…the mpgs in the real world are not much different. My wife had a suburban and now a Lexus lx 570….fuel economy…within .2 of an mpg….except the Lexus doesn’t burn oil, leak oil, and it has so much more power it’s not even close.

[@bradh7472]

@@hokie9910 Yep Toyota 5.7 extremely durable. Why do yo get tired of people saying they get bad fuel miles? If you don't then shouldn't bother you. No skin off your back. Drive it and enjoy. I hear more that say they get bad fuel miles than good. Just saying. I know people with them and they even say it. 11 city at times maybe 15-16 hwy. Again all depends on conditions and how you drive too. Who cares its an amazing engine.

[@hokie9910]

@@bradh7472 The facts just don’t support it. The Tundra has a small gas tank so I think folks just get fired up because they have to fill up more often,
