Building a BULLET PROOF 6.2!

[@ianmckay1780]

Don't you just love the fact that Bob was around while Scott was working! That is what I miss about losing my Dad, even though it was in 1976, it is something you still miss. Heart felt best wishes to you all, and hope the engine stays together for a long time. Thanks from UK.

[@bobstratton6362]

It’s coming up on a year since I lost my Dad. Cherish your time together everyday. We worked together a lot of years. Some days I want to give him a call to hear his voice.

[@billymoad]

Sorry bud about you loosing your dad I was 2 years old when he passed I lost my dad in 98 it seems never to get easy after loosing a parent bud hi everyone from northwest Missouri 😢😢😢😢

I just lost mine on valentine's day this year , and I already miss having him around, working on equipment or feeding . It's a hard adjustment.

[@tractorboy31]

Yeah my dad has been gone like 16 yrs and we were just starting to get close as I was somewhat a stubborn kid. I have exceeded my dad in some aspects of my abilities but not all. Dad did more wood working. I do more metal working. Both on wrenching

[@gregmaddock8969]

Glad you have the family (wife) vehicle back up and running!!!

[@lynnschantz9185]

My husband drives an 2008 diesel pickup I drive a 2013 suv and in 2019 we bought a 2016 diesel pickup with a few more miles on it than the one you bought leg arms. The 2016 has been used by our 3 grandsons when their personal vehicles are broke down, and of course when our main rides break down we have the 2016 to drive. Farm families always need an extra truck.

[@bobme2787]

I recently bought a 2018 Chevy LTZ and I love the truck. Same color as yours. Super clean West VA truck. Carfax showed that owner took it to dealer for regular services. I hope that the engine does not have problems in the future.

[@DanWoelders-fd5zd]

I absolutely love that gm burgundy red. When I finally decide to replace my 2014 Denali duramax that’s what I want, but no newer then a 17 duramax lml but Denali again with that color red with the dark tannish interior. Friken beautiful

[@badministrator5]

Working with Dad is the best! I also have the same as you Leg Arms where I keep thinking about stuff and it will drive me nuts so your not the only one! Thanks for the videos guys always a great escape to Montana!

[@robertmelchionda7456]

Hi Scott! I feel your pain with the motor. I have a 2016 Silverado 2500HD with the 6.6 Duramax (which I love and my 5th Chevrolet truck). The CP4 fuel pump had a massive internal failure (50k on the clock). Wiped out everything when it sent metal bits far and wide in the fuel system. It was a bad day at Black Rock Canyon when that happened. The bill for that joyous event, well; we don't talk about that. It was painful...... Like you said, what happened to American made equipment? Yeah, it was outsourced overseas for parts..... All the best to you and your family. Thank you for sharing as always.

[@MrGerritStok]

You, Nick, might be happy with such a brother and dad. Which made good footage in a for you very buisy time. It"s always a miracle where you find the time to shoot all this interesting stuff. Blessings for the coming seeding time!

Awesome having father & son working side by side. Lost my dad 4 years ago so I try my best to spend father son time with my sons. Your work goes like mine... Will have a full proof plan and follow to a T only to forget something very simple...

[@Varrig]

It is getting harder and harder to find anything made well. I miss the 80's where my truck would only have trouble if I did something stupid with it. Always here for the shop videos! Take care and God bless!

[@Robindvogt]

Back in the 80s gm Camshafts went flat at 30000 miles. Non of the manufacturers could keep paint on anything. Nobody can build a transmission that will last more than 80000 miles

[@DavidC-1950]

I miss the 60’s and early 70’s when you could actually take an engine apart as md put it back together without all of the electronics, plastics and economy parts! Points, timing chains and distributor caps.

[@remingtonwade3599]

14:18 can someone explain the 3406b please what happened to the blue pete

[@hawks2252]

@@Robindvogt I didn't know that GM cams went into the 80's. late 70's, 77,78 they had a few batches of soft metal cams that went flat (at least on Impalas, my brother knows, haha - he flattened my dad's 78 impala 305 engine - by beatin on it when he was 16 or 17, and learned how to rebuild an engine that weekend with my dad staring at him - haha). I have had good luck with mid 80's oldsmobile 307's. last one I got 286,000 and this one I have 120,000 and hopefully get the same as the last. Maybe it was 80's trucks - 350's? I don't know. I have 212,000 on my 1995 gmc 2500 350 engine and still running strong - knock on wood.

[@gangedillyo]

You guys amaze me with your self-taught abilities to fix or create just about anything. Sure wish I could do half the things you guys do. Great job!

[@ncm55449]

One of the biggest reasons I watch you guys is your can do attitude for most things. People should learn a bit from you and be motivated enough to try to fix their own stuff!!! Just get in there and try. If its already broken, what do you have to lose.... and how much could you learn!!! Great Job!!!

[@preparedfamily7648]

Love the relationship between father and sons...you guys are blessed

[@scallums]

Scott, FYI GM flex plates have 1 elongated hole, you put the first bolt there, and it will align all of the holes so you can torque everything 1 time around. Unless you filled your coolant with a airlift you are most likely going to have an air pocket in the cooling system, possibly trapping air in your rear heater core...

[@loydcourson5276]

God bless you too !! pray for my mechanic Colby he got in a wreck and totaled his car and he about had my jeep with a new engine in it!

Scott, how nice that Bob (dad) was able to help and give a lending hand. Nice to have dad around to share the experiences with!!!!! Well, you got the 6.2 engine back together again without any huge problems and once the fuel pump fuse was discovered, it started and is running fine again. Good show Scott!!!!!! You have the family vehicle back again. The wife will be happy!!!!! Love the new off red pickup you were showing us. One beautiful truck. Looks to be in wonderful condition. You and the family will enjoy that truck I am sure!!!!!!!! Nice unit!!!!! I see in the background in this video in the shop a blue semi without an engine. This must be the next big project the Welkers have coming up. Anxious to hear about this. Thanks for everything Scott. Glad you have the family vehicle back and ready to go.

[@died4us590]

Bob, i get a charge out of watching you work and joke with your boy's, coby looked like he got a charge out of it to lol. Hi Scott, I think ditching those needle bearings for the brass bushings was a good choice. Putting needle bearings in the rocker arm's makes no sense, and just seeing the one's that had already fallen into your crank case was bad, the brass with a snap ring on each end seems much better. Hopefully this rig gets another 300,000 thousand miles, because I'm with you guy's on the new stuff. A lot of people are keeping or buying the older more reliable vehicle's and putting five to ten thousand into them, because the new stuff is outrageously expensive, and less reliable. I think you were wise getting the other vehicle, and also fixing the failure prone issue's to make it last is what I'd do as well. G-d bless.

[@robbiebowie6505]

You sure know motors. I got the kids a 65 mustang when they were in high school. Being the mother I didn’t know anything about motors. Make a long story short, the gas throttle got caught on the exhaust manifold and she couldn’t slow down the car but managed to get home. My friend’s husband was like you he could work on anything. So over the phone he told me how to fix it. I was so happy with myself. I’m sure you are very happy with all you figure out and fix on engines. It is a great talent to have. God Bless you and your family.

[@tehbald]

Since you did the torque converter you should take it to the dealer or a capable transmission shop and have the updated programming installed on the computer. It changes some of the parameters and how it does lockup so it won’t burn up the new one.

[@robo1210]

Ecm has to be tuned for the dod delete so I’m sure they adjust the lock up pressures in the TCM as well

[@stevea6722]

A topside creeper is a really handy piece of shop equipment when working on the trucks. Exhaust manifold bolts suffer from dissimilar metals (aluminum cylinder heads, steel bolts, cast iron exhaust manifolds) leading to galvanic corrosion. The accelerator pedal trick when starting is ok, but pulling the fuel pump fuse is more definite and works for all EFI engines.

[@KevinHauer-f2c]

Scott, I believe there is a kit available for your 6.2 in your new truck that can reprogram the computer system that will eliminate the computer from dropping cylinders for gas mileage. Basically making it run like a regular V8 with out dropping any cylinders.

Talking about tiny things causing major damage: 14 years ago I did change out the sparkplugs in my hot hatch with a 1.6 L gas 4-cylinder. A few days later on the Autobahn the electrode of the sparkplug in cylinder #2 decided to fall out - at 4500 rpm. After bouncing around a few times leaving pit marks on the piston & cylinder head that electrode finally managed to break the exhaust valve in half. Yeah, good times... 😜😁
