Buying and fixing a dump truck: 96 Freightliner FL70 w/ 8.3 cummins

okay so i got this truck a little while ago and now i have a chance to work on it so this is a 96 fl 70 8.3 cummins 5 speed transmission two speed rear air brakes 33 000 pound gbw a lot of you guys have seen this on the previous video about this dump truck kind of introduced it there so now i'm ready to fix it so i bought this for four grand and the reason is because the guy said it needs a new clutch so let me show you what i figured out since then so the inspection cover is off show you what i got in here so basically this is a pull style clutch system it's not a push type like you would normally see in smaller trucks so here's what's going on the clutch pedal goes right down to the floor i check the linkage it's all good so what's going on here is that throw out bearing right there is not attached to the pressure plate anymore so let me show you i can it's kind of it's hard because my hand blocks the camera but so here's the lever for it so i'm just going to turn that for you to show what it's doing this transmission also has some leaks and it's got a lot of rust not sure if i can save it but we're gonna try it works good so let me see if i can save the case if it fails it fails but right now it's working good i tested all the gears so i'll just kind of show you guys what this is doing here i don't believe this has glow plugs or a grid heater that's pretty good being in the snow on the ground right now the air system is pretty good too i still got pressure from hours ago so right now if i hit the clutch there's nothing no response at all nothing happens it's not doing anything the cool thing is to test it out or to move it what i can do is just put it in gear start it up right in gear now let's let that breaks off first so i can even downshift if i really need to just gotta rev match it well anyways i just wanted to show you guys what it could do but let's get that transmission out of there [Music] so the first thing i need to do is get this drive shaft off so there's a carrier bearing right here um i think what we got to do is take these bolts off right here slip this back a little bit the only way to do that though is to unmount it from right here from the frame two bolts and then i think with this slip yoke here we can push it back far enough to then pull that out just enough so it can flap down you can see that i got quite a few leaks here so i'm gonna make sure i get all these seals uh [Music] i just hit that with 1200 pounds of torque and it's still not budging [Music] so okay drive shaft is out now we're gonna start working on linkage and the pto i'm gonna drain the fluid out before i do anything more so so uh oh boy that does not look good wow i don't know if that's some sort of stop leak stuff or if that's just metal shavings in there i don't know i don't think it could be metal shavings that's crazy there's a magnet right here and there's some on it but it's not much i think somebody tried to stop this leak they put some sort of stuff in there to do that as you can see they got a leak right here and leak right here so that's the case i think somebody put a band-aid on this transmission i'm gonna go ahead and take this exhaust off take the muffler off and everything makes it easier to get to the transmission so all right guys well i think i'm gonna change course here because i cannot get that pto pump off there i tried disconnecting it right here at the flange and then i tried taking these bolts out and i can't get these bolts out i had like five feet of breaker bar on there i could not get those out so what i'm going to do is disconnect these lines here this is the high pressure line that goes to the cylinder and this is the intake to the pump so i'm going to just disconnect those drain the fluids and drop this whole transmission and pump together i really didn't want to do it like that because it makes it like 100 pounds 150 pounds heavier that's a big pump sitting there and it makes it awkward but at this point i think i'm just better off taking it off as one and then when i get on the bench i can get it off the right way see what's going on with it oh i also wanted to mention i actually did three different ways to try to take this off i tried to take this apart right here where it meets the transmission two of them are like completely rusted and maybe i could weld something onto them but i don't want to do it while it's sitting there it's on the top that they're all messed up so it's really hard to get to well i guess 1200 pounds of torque isn't enough i that exhaust pipe is attached to a bracket that goes over top of the transmission so i'm just going to cut that little u-bolt right there so so i kind of didn't expect that but i got at least i got one broken bolt there i got one right there one right there one right there one right there and that's it so far i can guarantee you i'm gonna break the next two so i'm gonna have to take that adapter plate out and probably weld some nuts onto those to get them out if not i guess i'll have to get a new adapter plate i believe that's aluminum that's probably why dissimilar metals uh um uh that one broke now's a good time to put the transmission jack underneath of it what i'm going to do here is because this is kind of unbalanced here i'm gonna put a two by right here two by four and then i got like this hook going around the other side i'm probably gonna need a piece of plywood too like a half inch piece as another shim type of thing [Music] that was definitely a struggle getting that out of the truck and bringing it in here setting it up on this table so i i immediately realized that there's a there's a crack right here in the bell housing also the bell housing is missing some material right there and right there it's like rotted away from all the salt luckily this is really the only thing that's super affected by that salt so the story behind this truck is that it was used on a farm for plowing i'm sure that's why this rust is here so bad because it was salting that's also why it has low miles on it but a lot of hours because it probably spent a lot of hours idling and going 10 miles an hour that sort of thing reversing a lot maybe so i'm not going to be able to save the bell housing and i'm probably not going to be able to save this transmission even though it works the case is just totally shot um i could i could scrape all this stuff off and then paint it up but what i did is i ordered another one that is just a take out that's not tested um i it was only 600 so i figured even if i can just use the case out of it and i can swap the parts that would be good but i think there's probably nothing wrong with the transmission that i'm getting it's on its way so in a few days i'll know more about it i'll take it apart and see what's going on but i think you know we'll make one transmission out of two one thing i'm probably going to have to do is take the input shaft off because that's probably not the same exact one that's on the other one i'm probably also going to have to take the output shaft off while i'm waiting for that other transmission what i'm going to do is take this pto pump off what i'm going to do is take the flywheel housing out of the truck because i may need to do some work to it too but for right now i bought this little crane that can pick this up and we're gonna get this in the air and get that pto pump off so okay to get this pto pump off this bolt is completely rotted away there's no way i'm getting that off same thing with this one so i'm just going to cut those off with a grinding wheel so [Music] ah all right almost there just got to get these ones off these ones are already loose so i just put those back on there to hold it on so it doesn't fall off that's pretty heavy it's probably 150 pounds am i setting it on this bench yeah here i'll get you something to put it on okay oh yeah that's where the metal shavings are coming from right there oh see there's two shims on the left and one shim on the right so i gotta remember that there we go one more and then you should be able to get rested away with the [Music] impact so okay [Applause] so [Music] okay here we go well this is not the ideal way to split this apart but i guess this will work so what happened is this shaft here got just totally welded and rusted to this shaft right here this is the shaft on the hydraulic pump side this is the shaft on the pto side so that's why this wouldn't come apart right here because that was holding it so let's try to see if we can get this off of here now i have a feel i'm going to have to cut this cut it down both sides and kind of split it because i really need to save the shaft because i can't identify this pump so if i can save that shaft then i can save this pump i might have to spruce up the splines a little bit there but if i can save this then that'll totally eliminate me from having to dig into this pump which was working fine before um the only thing is this right here is a little bit broken but i think it'll be fine put some washers on there um i just don't think that's going to be a problem i kind of really have nothing to lose anyways i don't have to take the transmission out to do this if i have a problem with this pump i just have to take the pump off as long as i can get these to slide and i'm going to get a new one of these shafts right here then i can just pull that out the way it's supposed to be pulled out and then i can replace the pump or fix it or whatever in the future but for right now it was working fine so my goal is to just put it back the way it is you can see that there's somewhere a little bit anyways but it'll be fine this is all the crud that came out of this this spot right here this little flange housing right here which is just four little allen screws to take it out i'm gonna have to replace that because it's got that hole in it so you can see the holes right there and look at all this gunk in here i didn't even start to get it out yet but it doesn't seem to be too magnetic maybe a few pieces here and there but for the most part i think this is just dirt and salt and stuff so i think that's what made this corrode well i'm sure that and it's pretty much because there's this little hole right here and stuff gets in through that hole and then i'm sure as moisture gets in here it kind of washes the salt that gets in there down to the bottom which is right here and that's why that hole is there i'll bet you that's why it's like that so i'm going to try to find parts for this pto this housing seems to be good but obviously i have to get a new flange housing right here i got to order a new one of these i've got to get a new housing here just this part i got to get new bearings new snap rings new seals this is fine this top gear is fine but the bottom one is worn out you can see it's just rounded over but that's all one piece so you can't just replace that bottom piece it's it's all one solid piece so just get a new gear get a new one of these as you can see on this side where it meshes you can see how bad it is i'm pretty sure that's where all this metal is coming from you can see it all in there but there was a lot more than that and i also found two balls in there too which i don't know where they came from they're they probably came from inside the transmission but that's funny because the transmission is working fine so i don't know what that's about but i don't have to worry because i'm just getting a new one the new one comes with a new bell housing so i didn't order a new one until i figure out if that's the right one they couldn't tell me they couldn't tell me what truck it was off of so i don't know if the bell housing that i'm getting is gonna work i might have to swap out the input shaft from here might have to swap out the output shaft and i don't know maybe the sensor maybe i'll reuse the top shifter cover piece but other than that this transmission is just junked it's got this crack going around it goes all the way around this flange right here um i was going to try to see if i can restore that but with that crack there i didn't see that crack until i took it out so it's definitely a no-go on that but the bell housing is rotted right through right here and right here so you can see daylight right there so that's rotted right out so here's the flywheel you can see it's got some uh some hot spots on it surprisingly though when you run your finger across it it's not too bad but i've come this far so i'll definitely get that resurfaced this is a dual clutch system both clutch discs seem to be fine but in order to get the new pressure plate i got to get the clutch kit anyways so i'm going to go ahead and just order the whole thing i'll just keep these around just in case i need them in the future maybe so remember this is a pull type pressure plate so basically what happens is there's a bearing inside of there and as you're putting pressure on the clutch pedal it's pulling it out this way so what happened was the bearing that's inside here you can see the races in there still the outer race the bearing just completely disintegrated and that let loose of the throw out bearing here the whole the whole assembly right here that just it just disconnected the two so that it was no longer pulling it anymore um so that's that's kind of the story behind that so right now i'm waiting for this transmission to come in and i'm waiting to see what it has on it before i order more parts but i'm also in the midst of getting some parts for this pump together and i got to get the clutch kit so in the next few days i'm going to get that all wrapped up and then i can put this thing back in i'm gonna clean all the parts that i'm gonna reuse so for right now i'm gonna clean this this that and that and possibly that if i have time but it's if it's relatively the same price to get a new pto as it is to get the parts for it then obviously i'll just get the the new pto i think i can find one for about seven hundred dollars so that's not a lot of money and once you start adding up parts if it's five hundred dollars i'm not going to do that [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] you can see this flywheel has hot spots on it so i'm gonna go take it to get resurfaced it's not really that rough but you can see the little spots on there so it's better to be safe than sorry it's only about 100 maybe 100 and quarter to get this resurfaced [Music] there we go [Applause] [Music] so okay so i'm at the car wash right now because they have hot water so i'm going to take this transmission and clean it off first thing i want to do though is cover this opening so i don't get any water in here so i'm just going to put some gorilla tape over that with some heat i was going to make a plate for it but i just don't even feel like taking the time to do that you can see it's pretty uh it's pretty crusty that's what it's supposed to look like right there so so [Music] hmm that car wash didn't work that well so i'm gonna go ahead and take this bell housing off and clean it further with my own stuff [Applause] so see how much torque that swivel took out of that you didn't realize it but yeah you [Music] [Music] [Music] sliders are all good i don't see anything wrong with this all the gears look nice and nice and tight i was going to take the bottom covers off but i don't see any point now looks totally fine down there almost no metal on the magnet all the synchronizers look good i think there's a little bit of play in that one yeah but it's uh it's supposed to have players i'm gonna say it should have play in it right well when things heat up they expand so you can't have this coordinate uh heat up that they don't move anymore so i think really all i need to do is just replace the input shaft seal and then check for end play and that's about it you can do the input shaft bearing to or just a seal no it doesn't need it oh the bearing looks pretty decent i'll check then i'll check the input shaft bearing for play i'm just going to check the end play before i put this back together so the specs say between six one thousands and ten one thousands so what i'm gonna do is just pry this way first so we'll call that 31 and then pry it this way and i get 37. 39 31 to 39 so that's eight one thousands specs say between 6 and 10 so that's perfect when you're checking for this though you want to spin this around a few times make sure you're getting the same reading so that's well within spec i just wanted to make sure that this transmission was okay because it came out of a vehicle that was unknown they couldn't tell me anything about it they couldn't tell me if it worked they just said it wasn't inspected so i was kind of taking a gamble on buying it because i didn't really know if it was something that was junk or not but i kind of hope for the best and planned for the worst which is using the parts from the other transmission i just needed it for the case so for 600 i got this and that's well worth it for just a case but turned out to be the whole transmission was good i don't see anything wrong with that transmission at all so it's the six three zero five model you can see it's six one thousands to ten one thousands eaton is pretty good about having a a nice catalog for parts and also for just the actual service manual too these transmissions just are really simple there's the counter shaft end plate right there i'm not going to get involved with that but you can see anything that you need is right here available right on their website the other thing is i kind of need you to rotate it the other way like yeah like that like that is that better i'm not going to go good oh man that's heavy i'm gonna take these bolts off that'll allow you to get easier access at the seal you can access it from right here but it's not that easy to do it's easier when that's pulled off [Music] oh so it's just a lot easier to access the seal from right here there's nothing wrong with that seal but i'm not going to go through all this trouble to replace this transmission and not replace that seal that's one of the most prone areas to leak on a transmission is the input and the output shaft more the output shaft than anything actually but the output shaft is also easier to access once the transmission is back in the vehicle [Music] before i take it out i want to just make sure this is the right seal [Music] [Music] [Music] so i made a mistake and i didn't get this gasket here but i know i can just make a gasket that's not a problem so we'll go ahead and use the great stuff on this and that'll be fine it's not worth the trip it's like an hour each way for me to go get that [Music] so so the manual says to put loctite 262 on these bolts i couldn't find 262 but this is threadlocker red high temperature which is pretty much the same thing and they say 15 to 20 foot pounds of [Music] torque so since i don't have a gasket in there anymore i'm a little bit worried that that was acting as a shim so i'm gonna recheck my end play but first i gotta replace this output shaft seal so in order to get this yolk out you need to take this nut out and then behind this yoke is going to be a seal that's the rear seal to the transmission so what i'm going to do is lock two of these synchronizers at the same time which is going to lock up the transmission that way i can turn this without it just turning freely like that see now it's locked up [Music] [Applause] so so you guys could see i was struggling with this nut right here and this seal wasn't leaking as far as i could tell so i'm gonna leave it alone since it's not broke i'm not gonna fix it i really wanted to replace it but it just was not happening so the good news is when i put this on the truck and i could put the truck in the gear put the parking brake on and then i can have something to hold not just the gears themselves but the whole transmission from turning so then if i ever need to replace it really i just take the drive shaft off and then i can get right to this nut right here and that's always ideal to not have to take this out again i'm trying to do anything i can to make sure that i don't have to ever take this out ever again so i just checked the main shaft and play again and just so you guys know from taking that gasket out of there and using this sealant here it actually did change by at least one one thousand so now i'm up to about a nine one thousandth just keep that in mind when you're doing things i'm still within spec but it brought me a little bit closer to being out of spec this side is where you would shim it if it's out of spec or you put a new bearing in or two new bearings actually so i got a lot of mess here i got to clean up but before i put this back together i'm going to show you guys i'm going to run through all the gears and show you how this works so this right here is reverse when i go this way see how it goes the opposite way of what i'm spinning over on the input shaft so then put that slider over there that's first gear you can see i'm turning a lot here and it's only turning a little bit there so then second gear spins a little bit faster third gear spins a lot faster then [Music] fourth gear almost spinning the same speed now and then this is the fifth gear so now when you have it in fifth gear that's a one to one ratio so again reverse first second you can see there's like clutch material right there that's part of the synchronizers third fourth fifth that's it very simple [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] so in preparation for getting this new transmission ready what i also need to do is get this input shaft taken off of the old one not because i need it on the new one but because i want to use it as an alignment tool so i can just take these bolts out and then just pull this input shaft right out and that makes a good alignment tool foreign so i decided to go ahead and take the bell housing off and what a nightmare that was i got one bolt off this one right here the other three i had to use the plasma torch to get those off never seen so much corrosion around a transmission like this but now i can get this input shaft out pretty easily so now i can clean this up and use it as a clutch alignment tool so now i can take this transmission and put it in storage for parts i'll put some plates on it so it doesn't get mice or something in it i am so glad to get this out of here now i can clean all this mess up i hate having it this messy this is the new bell housing that i got and that's the old one so this is the shift arm right here for the clutch and on this one it's on this side and it's totally different so i was looking this over and i think what i can do is just take this arm off and stick it right on here and kind of align it with this in respect to this but then i'm also going to have this piece sticking out here like this far so maybe i'm just going to swap this whole thing out i don't know we'll see how it goes i put this truck on the back burner for a little while but now i'm back and i'm ready to do some work on it so let me tell you where i'm at [Music] that flywheel housing i was trying to take it off um i got the starter out which was a major ordeal i gotta get that rebuilt now i'm trying to get this thing out because you can see that i broke some bolts off inside the housing and also this hole is stripped out so let's see i got one two three four five six seven bolts to get out so i was originally just going to get a new housing but then it was kind of hard to find and it's like a thousand dollars so then i thought maybe what i'll do is just get the thing out and get it on the bench and then i can really work on it good and try to get all those bolts out so that was a good idea until i realized that i took some of these bolts out and then i realized that actually this is the bolt that needs to come out and you need to jack the motor up so i'm at the point right now where i'm i'm just going to try to get these out while i'm underneath the truck instead of taking this whole adapter housing out some people call it an adapter housing some people call it a flywheel housing there's plenty of room to sit upright in here so i'm going to go ahead and just see if i can restore this while it's still in the truck so let's give that a shot i'm going to weld some nuts onto these and hopefully they'll spin off after i do that because that'll also heat them up too i went ahead and bought the rear main seal but i can't really replace it unless i get this out so at this point i think i'm gonna can that idea i really don't like that idea i really wanted to just replace that but if it's not broken i guess i won't fix it i got some of these nuts on they are the right size they just don't want to go on some of them don't i got some of them on [Music] look at that i got that one try got that one you need any of that i think i'm good i got that one oh no i guess i didn't [Music] all right i got that one that was a third try on that one so got to give it a second to dissipate the heat into the aluminum and then the aluminum expands a little bit sometimes it's good to go in a tightening motion just a little bit too that one didn't take that one's just not coming out i got all the rest of them out but that one i've put at least 20 different nuts on there and every one of them broke off so i'm down to the point where i'm going to start drilling it out now i'll just put a helicoil in there uh so ready so all right so what one you need um so now i'm going to do the same thing to this hole right here i got to drill it out to a 13 30 seconds and then tap it and then put in the helicoil and then the rest of these i'm going to just clean up i'm just going to chase the threads with a tap these bolts are an m10 one and a half pitch and it's a 13 30 seconds bit that you need for it these are really nice they really save you sometimes you can use them in aluminum or steel in my opinion i think it even adds a little bit more strength because as you're tightening it it's really pushing those threads into the into the housing kind of like almost a little bit extra strength [Music] you [Music] oh i couldn't find a stud at a local store that i could use to put in this flywheel like a guide pin so i just made one this is an m12 1.25 pitch and i just cut off the head of it and i put a little slot in so that i can use a screwdriver in case it wants to jam itself in there so [Music] that was rather painless compared to other times when i didn't have a stud so i'm going to put some blue loctite on these flywheel bolts some people say to use it some people say to use red some people say to use none i don't really think it matters to be honest 75 pounds of torque [Music] so [Music] uh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] so we had a little bit more of a setback than i thought this tank is completely rotted out i was gonna try to like jb weld it and paint it over but it's just too far going so while i have this tank off i'm gonna make sure i get everything that i can behind it because i plan on taking this when i get my new garage and taking the whole thing apart and just redoing everything painting everything getting all the rust out but for right now i'll just get everything that i can so i got a new tank this is like 700 brand new from the dealer definitely wasn't looking forward to spending that money on that but something that needed to be done that tank wasn't even leaking at first until we tried to take it out and we were trying to get this rust out here as soon as you started moving it just just rotted right away pieces are flaking off and diesel is squirting out just thick layers of rust on there [Music] [Music] uh foreign so [Music] so so this is another one of those studs i made and you just grind a little slot in it for a flat head tighten these bolts in a crisscross pattern to 30. so hmm having this input shaft made it pretty easy i ended up cutting this input shaft down i just didn't feel like dealing with that end of it if i need a new one i guess i'll just order it but for right now i don't think i need another one [Music] so so so so so [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] up [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] my [Music] um i mean you can come forward a little bit maybe like three inches quite a bit the input shaft yeah isn't even quite the middle yet oh that's right because it's going back towards me as i'm going up so i got plenty of room to go forward oh you got maybe like two three inches to go forward one more two more clicks there she's kissing it kinda you gotta go up a little bit more maybe one more all right now it's gotta come looks like you should be able to uh okay a little bit there you go now you should be able to go in a little bit more about like that now you can try to push forward on it okay that's good oh there she goes okay go ahead it went a little further but now it's stopped again okay you uh um i ended up getting a new pto and a new pump and all the stuff with it [Music] that's a steel spacer you gotta check the backlash on it i think it was like eleven or twelve hundred dollars for the two of these with all the things with it [Music] [Music] ugh so [Music] [Music] so to set the backlash on this pto you can see i have the dial indicator mounted right onto the transmission and then it goes right into the drive gear on the ptl so you can see this gear right here is the one that engages inside the transmission from this drive gear that goes into the vto so i'm supposed to have between six and twelve thousands so that's what i have for a backlash right there so it's about 11 000's that's the backlash of the transmission included right there all together but if i just get the backlash of this gear right here this is what it is right here that's about 11 000 so it's still within spec it's on the upper end of it but it's still good so i had to put two gaskets in here the small ones and then one big shim it's got a steel shim in there the company that i got this from set me up with all that stuff i just had to figure out which gaskets to use so first i started out with all of them and it had like half this dial indicator as the backlash so i had to take a few of the bigger ones out and then i got to the point where i only used the two small ones which i think are ten thousands gaskets plus the actual steel one and that was right on the money you're supposed to use a gasket on both sides of that steel shim because otherwise you can have fluid that leaks out so this is all ready to put this top on and then i can mount the pump right here when we were trying to still get the adapter housing out we took the starter out and in the process some of the bolts were frozen up on it this is the result of trying to get one of these bolts out this is a plastic housing and it just broke right in half so i got a new solenoid and whenever i need a part i always call the freightliner dealership and get a part number and then i see how much they want and then i just type that part number in online and see what i can get it for online so far that saved me thousands of dollars just on this build alone but this was only like fifty dollars versus like three hundred dollars for a new starter it's just three bolts it's not a big deal and i can change over the ground strap right there i'm gonna paint this up before i put this solenoid on it was already wire wheeled down so now i'm just going to paint it up black [Music] i'll get the back end if you can guide the front end [Music] okay that's gonna go like that something like that this is the air actuator that engages the pto and that's a sensor right there to tell you that it's on so they didn't give me a new gasket for this so i'm just going to put this right stuff on there uh okay so this air switch right here is facing the bottom with the ports so i'm gonna take that off and flip it around so it's facing up so that airlines can go in this way um [Music] so uh so wow ugh so at this point i'm ready to put some fluid in this transmission so you can pump it in from the side or it's two and a half gallons so what i'm going to do is just put it into the top here so it's half of a 5 gallon bucket so this is 50 weight synthetic transmission oil i'm gonna put about two gallons in and then go check it at the fill level pull the plug off and see where it's at okay it's not coming out yet so maybe another half a gallon or so maybe another gallon okay so it's full it might be a little bit over full but that's okay with the manual transmission it's okay if you're a little bit more full than you need to be since we mess with the fuel system i just have to prime it now all right let's try it so seems like it goes in all the gears good reverse sensors clutch feels good i adjusted this clutch you want an inch of play before it starts engaging right here so i adjusted it i had to adjust it a lot actually for that all right well we got some air let's try to drive this okay [Applause] this bottle is so touching so since i took the pump out i lost a lot of fluid so i got to replace it i got to replace the fluid in the cylinder so i think the plan right now is to lift this body up until i can get to the top of the cylinder and then i can fill it [Applause] there you go all right it's on there ready it's almost there okay it's on it okay so i need to take this bleeder off right here and fill this with fluid so we've got this air hooked right up to the truck so it's pretty important to get that clean because otherwise you'll be getting stuff in the fluid and there's no filter there's no reservoir on this system you don't want dirt to get in there it'll never get out got my emergency backup piece there just in case something happens so so it's getting a lot of bubbles in it so it's gonna it's gonna be foamy but this little thing right here is to take the air out it's an air bleeder and you can hear the air coming out of it yeah just gotta work it up and down real slow to start with it's got a big return hose so that thing was completely empty fill that plus the cylinder still pumping i got three gallons in probably need another gallon okay so i think i got enough fluid in here so i'm gonna test it out for the first time see if it'll go up i got a bucket underneath there to make sure any excess fluid that comes out will go down in there and it probably will have some come out okay seems to be moving good stop it there check there's not really much fluid coming out probably will want to get to the top [Applause] all right lift it up and i'll take the uh i'll take those things out i'll take the locks out putting some fuel in this brand new tank i had just enough before to run it but now i'm gonna put some more 55 gallons [Music] hmm [Music] [Music] [Music] okay guys so i did a lot of work to this truck this video has been about three months in the making because i don't have time to just work on it full time i'd say if i had every day into it and all the parts together to begin with i'd probably do it in two weeks it's a lot of work a lot of work i have a lot of labor into it um i don't think this is as good of a buy as i thought when i bought it obviously i went way above and beyond with a whole bunch of different things but it needed all that so i don't really know where i'm at with it but i think i probably got like three grand in parts in it plus four grand for buying it another grand for getting it back to me for the tow so i have some money into it i'm sure it's still a decent deal but not nearly as good as i thought i do really like the truck though so i think it's worth it especially with the low mileage on it this engine in here the 8.3 cummins is supposed to be a pretty good engine it's wet sleeve so if i ever have a problem i can always replace the liners in it i always find myself looking for trucks that have transmission problems especially if it's a manual well if it's not a manual i won't even buy it but i always look for transmission problems because you can get them for really cheap and i definitely know my way around transmissions i'm not an expert but i know enough to keep me going so it's usually worst case scenario is the way i look at it worst case scenario is new transmission so this needed that plus it needed a pump and a pto fuel tank a bunch of other miscellaneous things when i got this truck i was looking underneath and i saw there was rust but i didn't see any rot anywhere so that's why i ended up buying it it definitely has more rust than i thought though um but it's not rotted so that's good so i can still save it what i plan to do is take this bed off um flip it upside down redo everything so i got still a bunch of work to do for that and a bunch of other miscellaneous things i didn't inspect it as well as i thought but the other thing i thought about was the fact that this bed here is probably worth like two grand in itself the tires are all good that's probably another two grand worth of tires right there the motor in it that's probably another two grand i could part this out and get way more money than i paid for it that's kind of the way i thought of it when i bought it as i'm fixing it up i'm realizing that it's got a lot of rust but i've come this far so i can't turn back now so i'll have to strip it down and really get the frame sandblasted and painted up the whole bed take that right off flip it upside down sandblast it paint it i'm not really a fan of the dayton rims the clamp on style like this i really like the new hub style the hub centric style rims this takes 11r 22 fives it's the same tire as all my other trucks so that's nice because i always have a bunch of those laying around but this is all good this bumper is made out of i think that's about 5 16. it's all custom that's solid really solid i think it's that way because they had a big plow on here this is probably like a highway plow that was on here i'm gonna do a part two to this truck because it still needs more things on it to make it really an everyday truck so i'll see you guys on those [Music] so [Music] you
