Hey Matt, that 3126 is a HEUI. Meaning it's a really similar fuel system to your 6.0powerstroke, in that the injectors run on oil pressure. You may have a fuel issue, but most of the time it is a High Pressure oil issue. Sometimes the HPOP is making pressure, but the ICP sensor wont read the minimum needed to fire the injectors. Fill or prime the fuel system until the handle is hard on primer. Try unplugging the ICP sensor and starting the truck on brake clean or starting fluid. Also make sure there is plenty of oil in the engine. While it's running off starting fluid have someone watch for tachometer and oil pressure. If you don't have tach, it could be ecm power or crank/ cam sensor issue. If you still arent getting and injectors clicking, sometimes the power wires to the ECM get a bit corroded and need repaired or replaced. Wish we were right there, we could put the computer on it and get an idea of exactly what's going on really quick. Good Luck!

[@Dat_1_OutKast]

Bump this up! I don't know the first thing about diesel engines, so my first thought was a bad fuel pump lmao

[@othfarmin7959]

Commented before I saw this. But I'll bet you are righter than I. Would priming the fuel lines at the injectors be helpful. Or is that not necessary on a HEUI?

[@horakrepair2546]

@@othfarmin7959 No real way to prime at each injector, because it only has a fuel rail(passage) in the head. Fuel just flows through the head with a regulator/orfice at end of head or return line making sure there's base fuel pressure. So it pretty much self bleeds as long as you have a good transfer pump or primer.

[@akdiesel]

Bump this to the top! This is what I came here to say! Check your hpop pressure.

[@Odd78baLL]

Well, there was stuff i didn't originally think about when writing my comment lol, cam and crank sensors i forgot, simplist crank no start cause side from a fuse, but then again if he can get it to start with starter fluid wouldnt those be good ? I mean isn't the ecm trying to start it ?

If he set up a camping area close to the river and allowed fishing I’d be there the following week for a 5 night stay.

[@emmanewman7301]

Matt has mentioned something about tent campers in other videos, I'm guessing they'll have to prep an area for it with like water and power hookups first and have the ground be some sort of soil for tent pegs, I don't fancy trying to tie my tent into that stone. It'll probably come when the RV hookups are sorted out because they'll need power too and I imagine the two wouldn't be far from each other

[@bartthymenvankalsbeek8254]

Some community fire departments let you donate properties for emergency services and arson investigation training. Basically, call up the chief and tell them you want to them to destroy a property, they send someone in to set the fire, a team goes through rescue operations, and the training investigator has to determine how the blaze was set.

[@zackarywalters2914]

Matt, just a word of advice Id wait to pave until you are completely done with equipment in the area, those tracks can tear that asphalt up, and at prices of $300 per ton, per layer (youd probably atleast put down base and intermediate course.) Also, make sure the company you hire has someone ensuring density! You want a minimum of 95%!

[@yukoncharlie2]

While it was probably well-manicured back in the day, the disc golf course probably still had a bunch of trees purposefully left to provide some challenge for shots and lines. That'd be an amazing thing to get cleaned up and useable again!

[@darreno9874]

Ask the Professional Disc Golf Association to recommend a course designer to have a look, because removing all the trees from tee to green could ruin a great course.

[@jefferyholland]

One of these buildings would be good to offer to a local fire department for training. I took part of a controlled burn for training many years ago on an abandon farmhouse. Very valuable experience for new volunteers.

[@PeterReid1993]

[@HEXU77]

Would definitely be cool for “training “purposes, although with the current burn ban and very stringent EPA rules(at least in my state) it would be a challenge. It’s doable, just have to remove all Asphault shingles, carpet,vinyl siding and things of that nature if it’s present. I’ve taken part in quite a few controlled structure burns and it’s definitely beneficial to young firefighters and the landowner in many ways.

[@thomasohanlon1060]

[@markjones6712]

Matt please be careful when cleaning the debris of the terrace on the north side of the main house please. It took me almost 2 month's to completely build it. I personally built and set all the forms, hand dug all the perimeter & interior beams set and tied all the rebar poured all the concrete struck off all the concrete and stripped the forms. Dug up the rock that was used for the walls and that separates the 2 levels. That whole terrace was 1 big concrete pour I even poured those 6 steps going down towards the overlook at the same time. So I beg you please be careful that would kill me if something would happen to that terrace.

[@MissFancyClancy]

Wow Mark, so glad you found this KZbin to give such great insight and advice! You can tell so much hard work was put into so much of the buildings on this property. There is no way you can replace the quality in the materials today when rebuilding. I hated to see the 8 room building come down but he must have a good plan for something better. You, as a building contractor at the Ranch, in some aspects it must be difficult to see all this but on the other hand, it has to be gratifying to see it being rebuilt after a fire and closure. Life sure has its changes.

Make sure you put full thoughts into the RV plan by the river, number of spots, concrete pads or hard pack spots, people are going to complain about no hookups, what happens if the river foods the area. Just cover your bases.

[@wolfbane8290]

Just a thought: It might be worthwhile taking inventory of each tear-down building's fittings to do architectural salvage of some components like electrical fittings, door-knobs, lighting fixtures, wiring etc. Not only will the salvage help recoup some of the sunk cost via scrap recycling but reusing some components in any new construction will definitely help keep costs down when planning and budgeting for new structures as well as retain some of the history of the previous venue.

[@some0ne8]

It's not really historical, those buildings are mid 80s and newer. All engineered I-joists and romex wiring. Pretty modern construction.

[@soliderash60]

I like that Matt is building that whole resort based on what would be easiest for the people going there

[@scottgaffin843]

All that construction debris would probably be useful as the base to your shooting range safety berms. It would save a ton of cash longterm. Someone else mentioned a rock crusher, that would be an excellent start. All that old cement block and stonework you're not saving to restore would be a bada$$ foundation for a safety berm.

Pro tip on the paving. When you hire a crew make sure they do DOT highway work. Not parking lot pavers... We hired a crew in Seagoville when whe remodeled the Army reserve base there. We had 13 acres paved by a supposedly qualified crew. The first day when we allowed them on it I followed a HEMIT into the lot. It literally rolled the asphalt as if if hadn't been rolled. Needless to say poo hit the fan. We got a real crew to replace it and we passed inspection 2 weeks later. They made very nice gas station parking lots but didn't have the equipment to get the strength out of the asphalt.

[@donovancorcoran1392]

If you’re going to demo any other buildings, contact fire departments in your area- in many cases, you can “donate” a structure to the FD who will burn it down for training purposes (they’ll put it out and relight it several times along the way, but in the end there won’t be much left).

The totality is the coolest thing to witness in real life. We were in SC for the eclipse in 2017. Amazing!!

[@Hobbies4Hire]

Great job on the video Matt! Thanks for making it. The edits on this whole series have been fantastic.

[@Generic_661]

Ngl, I like this video because it feels more like a regular off the ranch video, only instead of doing completely different things, you're going to different parts of the ranch

Biggest issue with burning the stuff is from the EPA due to the shingles and other asphalt and petroleum products. We run into this on fire department when people ask use to burn an old building for training. We tell them once they remove the shingles, vinyl siding and anything with asbestos or lead we are good to go. They never call us back

10 minutes in and 10,000 view, excellent job Matt. Love it when you bounce around and show us a lot. Loving following your journey. Texas was never on my bucket list but you are making me want to come and see it.

“Bus stuff” with a smirk and pause, died laughing. I don’t know how you do it Matt. 2 very successful channels and still hit us with the best montage edits out there. Unreal dude. Thank you!!!

Lots & Lots of progress on the Ranch! Pretty exciting!! #BuiltByBo

[@ThomasHeile]

Adding a disc golf course would be sweet. Definitely have my attention if you put that back in!

[@33gles]

Considering it's a John Houck design.... yeah.

[@madmatt9002]

Hey get @HeavyDSparks and his team to help with the dump truck and everything else you need at the ranch it would be a great Collaboration video.

[@baileyappoloni6914]

You should contact local fire departments and ask them about doing controlled burns, they will use them as training houses and then burn them down when they are done! great way to help out the community and it is awesome to see and the departments would love to do it!

I've been a fan of Demolition Ranch for about 7 months now, and just recently started watching Off the Ranch. I'm also a Disc Golfer, and I really hope you keep the disc golf course. My goal is to come visit the resort when it's finished, I'd love to play disc golf when I'm there.

👍 The primer pump is not secured back down to the pump body. The pump after use needs to be screwed closed to keep air from getting into it. Also there is a sensor hanging there the blue connector.

[@ReubenOaks84]

April 2024 is not far away. I can't wait to see the resort really come together. Matt definitely has the motivation to get it done, but it's gonna take a lot of labor, contractors, and equipment. I wish you the very best success in the resort and all other ventures.

[@myitbos1335]

Don't see it all coming together in just eight months.

[@Mina_Angel]

@@myitbos1335 wing and a prayer. Matt is an incredibly hard worker, I just hope he doesn't over work himself and get hurt or burn out.

[@KainYusanagi]

@@Mina_AngelHe had the bones of their house and more already ready and it still took like six months to finish it. 2024 might be permanently open, for RVs, but it won't be permanently open for the rest of it, no way.

[@mitchell7man]

These episodes should be on Demolition Ranch, by definition.

[@random-person1]

Whilst watching your videos, I have come to the conclusion that you know how to keep someone interested in what you are doing. So I just wanted to say we'll done matt, you know your stuff.

[@harleyworld2999]

It's unfortunate that you and Andrew Camarata are separated by 2000 miles. What epic videos we would have. Both crazy boys like playing with big stuff.

[@dougdobbs]

A collaborative episode would be epic! At the end of it Andrew would have him outfitted with a container castle too. :)

[@bryanmcclimans6662]

The reasons to have Diesel Dave bring his crew keep piling up !!!!! In fact he might have some equipment from that last purchase that he made that Matt might need to buy

[@aaronwheels1212]

Wouldn't it be cool if they came down and donated some stuff to the cause

[@green7449]

Knowing Sparks, he would just loan or give Matt anything he needed free of charge. He’s very wealthy, so he would just be happy him and his crew as well as equipment are a part of an amazing project.

[@wkcinaz]

Wet a rag with gasoline and hold it by the filter. If it has trouble getting primed this will help keep it running longer. It works and is safe.

[@kylep292]

i saw a total when i was a kid in washington state. and a partail a few years ago. totally cool! totally worth taking your kids to see. they will remember it forever

[@chuckgray7749]

you should do a loop that way you could keep it single lane and is less likely to be a bottle neck
