Making a CAT 3126 Bus Engine Think Like a Powerstroke |

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Alright guys, we're so close. SO CLOSE to 500k and an epic video to go along with that milestone. Let's do it! Less than 4000 subscribers to go and we'll resurrect the Cummins powered flamethrower. 🔥

[@justinandersob5534]

If that fails again what about taking the cummins an making a 🎃 throwing machine i can't remember the name but they spin up to so many rpms an throw a pumpkin. That be cool to see you build an get a record.

[@darknightinlight4201]

Lmao you think this heifer is gonna sound like a school bus when it’s done😂😂☠️ nah hell nah

[@PremiumFuelOnly]

Technically some older school busses used the 7.3 motor so it would sound like a bus either way depending on what they used in that area.

@@DEBOSSGARAGE That's actually a big thing, that. Because if you had to justify it to a loans officer, as needed for your business, well..... So it's awesome that this KZbin thing lets you use all the good stuff. We all know what happens at this stage of the project. You are already over budget. It still doesn't run. The wife is giving you the look. Shortcuts get taken. Not a chance in hell this truck will make sense per dollar invested, any more than any other project. But it WILL be awesome. ( ** Allowing for any reasonable dollar value to be inserted for Rich's shop rate. 8000 lbs of awesome. 8000 hours of labour. :) ) Now.. There needs to be a heavy hauler one ton pick up built. Must include at least a pusher axle, preferably two drive axles. And a Jacobs Engine Brake. A loud one...... For that camper/toy hauler fifth wheel you've been eyeing.

I’ve had really good luck with SEM Rust Shield epoxy primer. Scuffed the old paint, applied the SEM, and covered it with some Rustoleum black. Not a speck of rust on my Jeeps frame and WV uses tons of salt in winter. I’m 100% happy and super impressed with the results 8 years later

[@SPUDHOME]

Exhaust studs, with brass nuts, we used them in stock care racing, worked great to remove headers, in engine refresh, rebuilds.

[@anargylewanderer8721]

Have you thought of using an electric vacuum pump and reservoir out of a 6.0 era 250/350/Excursion to operate the HVAC controls?

[@abpsd73]

I was thinking the same thing, 99 and later super duty have the vacuum pump. 08 and later have electric actuators, I'm not sure what year that F150 dash is or what it would have (or if there will be any legroom.) I'd assume he is going to ditch the vacuum boost brakes and replace with hydroboost.

Oh..... the rusty bolt issue :) I feel your pain Rich, I’m in Minnesota and have the same problem. I have been bringing cars back from California and Texas since 2007 when I brought an 85 IROC Z back and took the fender off, loosened the bolt with a socket and unscrewed it with my finger the rest of the way! I’ll never buy anything from the Midwest again! Luckily I have family in those two states and Arizona too!

[@toddanderson9001]

I live in Wisconsin and you can’t find a three year old truck here that looks that good!

[@MrFredboy]

Right?! Hell, here in the SW part of the state I’ve seen ‘19 and early ‘20 trucks with more rust come through the shop this winter! Wisconsin really stepped up on the brine and salt consumption both this winter too, though!

[@MrFredboy]

@@redrider7730 as long as you're a good bit inland from the coast. Granted, it takes about 100x as long on the coast to get surface rust as it does in the midwest to get full blown cancer holes, you will still get minor rust from sun breaking down the paint and saltwater evaporate intruding on bare metal.

[@eligreen9301]

Bar and chain oil cut with a little diesel fuel makes good undercoat. It will come off over time but can be sprayed from a garden sprayer so reapplication is easy.

[@abpsd73]

7.3 in the super duty was intercooled, OBS didn't have an intercooler, but one can be stuffed in. Early 7.3 SD had all aluminum intercooler. You should get a OBS diesel rad support, it sits deeper between the frame rails to support the bottom of the radiator, and won't block the rad fins like the gas support would. When you re-install the bed, buy Ford bolt kit XC3Z-9900038-AA for a Superduty, it has torx head bolts and j-nuts to make future bed removal easier. I gave away a 460 to replace it with a 7.3

[@Beandiptheredneck]

I don't think anyone is going to get bent up over pulling the 460, everyone knows they are smog dogs and the caterpillar is going to be pure awesome. To me its cooler to see a custom built truck or car than a factory survivor

I just love this channel. I'm thrilled I came across it a few months back. I've watched a LOT of your projects and I learn so much because of how you make your videos. It's really thorough and I appreciate the content you make. I'm about 30 minites from you Rich and I've got a 2006 Dodge 2500 Mega Cab with the 5.9L that's frame and body aren't in horrible condition. I want to do a frame and rocker restoration on it this summer but I'm still unsure what would be best to coat the rockers with. I originally thought line x, Bullet or Raptor liner, but have heard the same thing as you, that moisture gets trapped under the coating and it rots from the under the coating. I too want my new to me truck to last but I don't know what the best route to go is. Just gravel guard and keep touching it up? I thought maybe getting some RBP electric step rails would maybe take the brunt of all the stone damage to the rockers. Anyone have some advise?

[@Nunya_Bidnez]

Ahh yes. The old razor removal trick. Pro tip. Some windex will make it work much better. Try it. Looking at that birds nest of wires had me worried. That trans looks like a monster. i love it.

[@brucelee64485]

RICH!!! CAT man here!! I won't swear by it but I think that there is an alternate fuel out port on the cylinder head on the left side of the cylinder head at the back. It would be behind your new intake manifold and underneath where your breather tube is. I know that the later C-7 engines did but I'm pretty sure that the 3126 engines did too. It will be an o-ring face plug that will come out and go into the spot at the back of the head. Might be better than modifying the cab.
