Came for the camper, stayed for the prison shank. Another great video, thanks for being so engaging and informative. Sitting in my big city townhouse, fascinated by you.. Keep it up!

[@SquarebodyTruckCamper]

There will be more camper videos coming in the future. Thanks for following along with all of the other projects. Thanks for the comment!

Hey buddy you can use some of the rubber boots that you can get at a lumber yard In the plumbing section!!! They use them to connect pipes together!!! They have all different sizes and angles also!! You can cut them to the size or length needed!!! Plus they are much cheaper than what the regular seals will cost!!! Hopefully this helps you out??? Remember keep up all the hard work buddy!!!! More fire truck videos and more camping videos!!!

I have the SAME problems with my floppy dinglebopper. Very helpful - thank you!

[@SquarebodyTruckCamper]

Glad the video helped. Thanks for watching!

I like your makeshift pipe expander....pretty ingenious....great videos keep them coming.

Great video, I have a w123 300 TDT like yours and same oil leak problem close to the intake, turbo, and engine side so this video is an incredible help for me. Thanks a lot boy (sorry for my english, I am from Spain). Good job !!!

I always delete that air filter contraption on my diesels. Look up dieselish. They have a great kit with the proper parts to swap out with great quality items. And plus you really hear your turbo spool!

Happy new year

What is 3:11 this part ? I put a cold air intake on and I need a replacement part.

[@SquarebodyTruckCamper]

It’s an oil catch can that captures the oil vapors from the crankcase vent and allows the oil to drain back into the oil pan. I don’t know what the technical part name is.

[@erico1603]

Can you send me a link to where you found the seals: I have a 1983 300d Turbo and I can't find these seals anywhere

[@zfunk9]

Can you just vent that breather hose to the bottom of the car instead of sending that vapor back through your intake?

[@SquarebodyTruckCamper]

@@zfunk9 you could. But if you did that, you would have a decent amount of smoke and oil spray spewing out at all times.

[@zfunk9]

Isn’t that better for the car than sending all that back through the air intake system?

[@SquarebodyTruckCamper]

@@zfunk9 these engines can run on almost pure engine oil. The small amount of engine oil that gets sent thru the intake from blow by will not be an issue.

Rings are shot probably

Dumb to keep heavy, rocking, cracking, oil and air leaky stock unit. A simple cold air intake solution, filter boxed and fed by the outside air intake.
