Abandoned ‘93 Cummins. Will it run (AGAIN)?

[@BucksSuperStereoWorld]

Bro, I love you choice of headwear. Every one of your hats are nothing short of pimptacular.

[@billtodd6509]

while you have engine apart, make sure to remove front cover and do the aftermarket fix on the dowel pin that sometimes drops into front gear cover. Very easy fix. Great work, Bill

Thanks to Dalton to turning me on to this channel, I'm really liking this. I don't know squat about deisels, except for the basic stuff--they use glow plugs, injectors, different pumps, stuff like that. I worked for various moving companies. That experience, as a driver, is what actually introduced me to deisels. As a driver, I just had to simply keep fluids topped off, do a simple once-over check on the appearance and performance. Everything else was handled, you know, the "major stuff," by a shop. My truck was a Freightliner FL70, with a Cat 3126, with an Allison 6. That thing was bulletproof and took alot of abuse. Friend of mine has a 1969 Pacemaker 50-foot yacht, runs twin 3126's, coincidentally. No, I didn't mess with that, as I really don't know much about deisels overall. By the way, no, I didn't own the FL, it was the company's truck. I just drove it. I'm normally from the planet Gasoline, mainly vintage/classic stuff--small blocks, Hemis, straight 6's and 8's, etc.. I drag and daily a 68 Galaxie and a 78 Impala. Alot of 40's to 70's stuff. As for Travis, I'm learning quite a bit here, be it Cat or Cummins or whatever.

[@William-v9i]

Wish my engine stand was as strong as yours. Thumbs UP!!!

[@Nobody_Important_Yea]

Thanks for the entertainment 😊

[@theetravisb]

Thank you for watching!

[@danielventura8073]

I see so many guys working on cars and first starts. I don't have a car to work on myself. I'd like to travel around and do one with some of them. At 61 and nearly retired i have nothing to do.

[@michelschintgen5754]

Thx!!! love to see you and your Dad work on them trucks!!!!

[@chandlerlofton6536]

My son found a 12 valve p pump at our local pull a part. So I ran down there and pulled it. I paid $300 dollars for it. It’s currently on the same stand that you bought for this video!

[@avioncamper]

Thank you for purchasing the engine stand.

[@lucsurmon2623]

As usual very interesting and smart video !

[@theetravisb]

Thank you !

[@lucasstiles8012]

Jackstand will be useful again and again and again

[@Adzie36]

Awesome video! It’s a shame that cylinder 6 failed but that’d be a good project for someone to rebuild and learn about proper engine work. Also enjoyed seeing the overdrive adaptation. Great work guys!

[@rustyirongarage4465]

That’s a sweet truck! Great work man! Your 89-90 reminds me allot of my old 90 should have never sold it. Most reliable truck ever

[@RayScrafield]

Thanks for your efforts Travis. Great and informative.

[@waltalbright]

Enjoyed the picture show.

[@CBtreemonkey]

Really enjoying the 1st gen videos. Your not afraid of not knowing how to do something. You figure it out. I would deff be interested in seeing some AC or AC conversion videos from you. There's not much of those out there and you always have a good way of hitting the important things. Great work. Keep it up bud.

[@michaelbubier2885]

Thanks for putting it out there for us.

[@allenbuck5589]

Road hard put up in a mess. It’s cool to watch the tear down. Great video Thanks from. Sc.

[@ariekremer6151]

Been following you for a while on the tiktok there. I'm glad I finally got over to your KZbin! You have Great skills Man

[@moose3971]

I recall doing doing an overdrive bypass on an old Transam I had that needed overdrive. Seems like I used an oiled pressure switch ran to ground. Screwed that into the 4 pressure band screw on the side of the trans. Worked good. Too bad KZbin didn’t exist back when I did work on cars. I think I would have liked doing vids on that. Perhaps, it’s not too late, lol. I still know my way around an engine bay. Thanks for the vid. It was good!

[@danswartwood4580]

Cool truck, thank you for your APPRECIATION to your subscribers Travis

[@kurtschreiber908]

[@OnefastAZfarmtruck]

All your videos I have watched deserve likes

[@jayg479]

I’d really like to see a video from a 727-518 swap. I know I’m probably the only one but I’d watch it 👍🏻

[@Mr2eyedjack]

Is the 518 the overdrive non lock up trans? I bought one and haven't put in my W250. I'll probably have to put some new berrings in it and clean it out first.

[@waynecap5960]

Thank y'all for your videos

Hi travis thanks for taking one for the team on the stand . Cheers mate🇦🇺

[@theetravisb]

Cheers 🍻 thanks for watching from across the pond

[@ILOVEBACONBOY2018]

The work you do is astounding, very cool to see the amount of time and work you put into these rides that otherwise would be scrap right now.

Thank you 🙏

[@donaldhelgeson6769]

Great video. Love to see the Westinghouse’s out there. I have the same set (electric and gas dryer). You and your Dad make a good team

[@theetravisb]

Oh wow that’s cool do you actually use yours

[@donaldhelgeson6769]

In storage for now. Need to get the timer fixed on the washer (timer motor)

[@kevkilian]

Awesome video! Learning a lot about Cummins diesel, I don't know much about them but love the look of the first gen Cummins

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Crazy. These trucks you and your pops find. Amazing to see you bring them back to life. Glad to see a new video on this project. I think it's got a 🕳in it or really bad burnt. Long way to go. It is coming along. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God Bless.

Great video as always. Keep them coming. Greetings from Florida.

[@benwuebben5201]

Love learning about diesels from you, im a complete noob but hope to one day be on your level! Much respect

[@theetravisb]

Thank you I’m learning to

[@SeanConnoly]

I want to see you put a 12 valve power train in an old Studabaker truck I think it’s been done but still cool. I remember when I was a kid and these things came out in 93 my uncle saying they reminded him of Studabakers.

[@bethpark6266]

Little late to the comment section but that bird is a baby just fledged. You can tell by the length of the tail feathers. Mom and Dad continue to feed them on the ground, in a bush, wherever they get to, until they can fully fly and feed themselves.

Sad ting about the Cummings engine being absolutely trashed. Like you said, another future video. Great job on figuring out that overdrive on your ol' truck. Until next time ✌️

Thanks !

Great info in this video, really enjoyed it.

[@theetravisb]

Thank you dale 👍🏻

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

Cool thanks 😊😊😊

[@terryeustice5399]

Travis that engine stand had to be extra heavy duty. I can see where that’s a pretty good investment. Plus the rebuild on that engine will take quite a bit of time. So understand why your not going to jump on this.Your transmission problem solved. Outstanding! 💯👊👍

[@theetravisb]

Yessir so much better now

[@FishFind3000]

Technically that engine stand is not heavy duty enough as the engine weight more than it’s rated capacity.

[@johnogan2386]

Those sounds like it's a close to the 350 C which is an old Chevy transmission where you just put a solenoid in it and flip the switch at about 45 to 50 to click it into overdrive

[@hoseclampehhh]

Man that Cummins was nasty. Great job on the OD.

[@theetravisb]

Thank you. !

[@keithcasner6842]

Well done👍🏼

[@baileymiller546]

Oh boy back at er again

You should always loosen head bolts with a breaker bar, and from out side to inside in an x pattern.

[@danbeckstead2020]

Thanks

[@markamcampbell5795]

my dad has a 96 dodge with the overdrive transmission. works great except for the noisy overdrive.i am thinking of replacing the overdrive unit.

[@MADDOG13R1]

That’s a serious engine stand brotha! Did you like the 1st gen gasser dually I emailed you? I’d like to see more will it run & drive road trips. Keep up the great content.

I did take a look but I don’t think I can consummate it

[@Devildog1962]

Another great video, I'm glad to see your numbers keep heading up I knew when you did the old International that people would love it and it would be popular. Just wanted to give you a word of encouragement and I always look forward to those videos so keep them coming. Semper Fi

Thanks for the compliment ! More to come.

[@jeffrykopis5468]

I have salvaged old commercial kitchens for scrap, and the accumulated grease behind and beneath the visible surfaces is just NASTY!! FAST ORANGE gets it off my hands.

[@steeliewheelies]

Cylinder 6 got a divorce. Said “it’s always up and down with you guys, I’m breakin outta here.” Great info about setting up that OD switch, cool test with the gauge. Shoutout to the shop bird

[@swolenation8432]

i bet hole in piston from heavy load high rpm high egts especially how violent that blow by was

[@elgatooff-road719]

hope that truck comes out good

[@paxtonpickett3456]

I seen a tool that you add to a drill that hones the cylinder walls again which means that you could have just put it right back together and ran it

[@danielsidaway719]

Its a shame what some yahoo did to that engine by burning unrefined food-grade oil in it. The culprit for all the damage was glycerin that's in the oil. You just can't dump food-grade oil into the fuel tank. The oil needs to be refined; chemicals need to be added in the process of refining; the glycerin has to be separated. If the refining is done properly, then the oil can be burned in a diesel engine. Glycerin is the culprit for all the stickiness and piston ring damage as well as lubrication starvation to the entire engine. What a damn shame.

[@kirkhemmens1626]

I think you should just hone number 6 cylinder the best you can , or if you have or can borrow a boring tool, bore out the cylinder and slap it back together. It was already running on 5 cyls. So it will smoke a little. New rings, hone job and put it in an old beater of some sort. It would make a great video. Don't give up so easy. I've seen way worse engines brought back to life on will it runs.

[@mikestone7692]

Nice beefy engine stand 👍🏽

[@dereklawson2756]

Thats a nice engine stand

Thanks it’s a harbor freight special

Trav, if ya wanna get that nasty cooking grease off the engine, put a small bottle of Dawn dish soap in the pressure washer! That cuts thru ANYTHING!

[@georgealtstattjr4618]

are you going to rebuild the engine nput it back in the dually

where did you get the pressure switch? please and thanks

[@williamhorn4600]

Okay, here's my comment for your engine stand, 😂

[@theetravisb]

Thank you 💪🏼

[@ABRetroCollections]

Normally Bio-Diesel works fine in these old 5.9's. The former owner just didn't realize that you have to be on top of the fuel filter maintenance when using it.

[@joshdevdoss9041]

I'd say you could rebuild that engine and get some doors and a transmission for the donor truck, you could flip it. If i remember from the earlier video, the body is somewhat decent.

[@haroldmegyesi7472]

WhT if the push rod is bent or the rockerjumped off

[@jimbo5728]

If you kick it down above 45 mph, the trans will drop to 2nd, but your overdrive will still be engaged?

[@thomasgoolsby8661]

I think that it has burned a hole in the piston I've never seen anything blow oil put of the dipstick like that.

[@johnogan2386]

You might want to check with area diesel there I think it's in Utah they might want to sponsor an engine build

[@douglasworkman2788]

I recently came across your videos, and I'm a new subscriber, just wondering did you sell the dodge truck that you repaired and did a great job on, love your 60 impala, but if you still have the truck and only want 8500, let me know, or if you get another one, I live in Virginia and I need a great work truck. Great content, love your dad, were same age.

Hey thanks for your interest but I did sell it I don’t have any Cummins at the moment

[@douglasworkman2788]

@@theetravisb well you have great channel, I loved the 69 Cadillac video, after watching the video, I dreamed I owned a 69 Cadillac, weirdest thing ever, but great video, great to see the younger generation take interest in automobiles that were built to last, not like new American cars, God bless

Ok. You convinced me to subscribe. Live in Spain and here 90% of all vehicles are diesel. Just one question. What speeds are you getting after your transmission change? Are you able to open her up on the highway?
