I was wondering if you give me some pointers I live in the West Coast

Not sure what a sick problem is?

Thank you!!

The Romex definitely doesn't look the best, but it works...

I'm actually working on my table right now trying to figure out how you did this, I have a jumper between my ohmic/material pin and + voltage on the divided voltage output, and then on ohmic/shield I have the wire that goes to the torch head around the collar. Nothing coming out of the electrode/torch negative because that is already wired into the divided voltage negative pin ​@@OldBarkerRanch1981

I know I had a single wire that ran from the voltage divider all the way to the torch head where I connected it to the Romex. The Romex was isolated from the torch (it only touched plastic).

​@@OldBarkerRanch1981 think I found the issue. My ohmic sensor was touching the shield on my torch. So now I just need to do the Romex trick. Did you just use calipers to figure out the height? It needs to be the same height as the shield so it touches the material at the same time as the torch right?

And how did you attach the Romex? I tried soldering but couldn't get it to stick. I'll try a hose clamp maybe

Glad I could help!!

Sorry, still figuring out this DJI Mic setup...

Its really not a hard job. But I can promise you that you will not regret doing it!

It does but in 100 hours it’s done it once and it was over in less than 3 minutes. This is what I have been told.

You can do that but expect it to go into limp mode within a few minutes. You can’t simply gut the DPF and keep working.

Dang! There is a lot of cheap parts inside..

That’s about where we are at.. just so disappointed that what was a high end, quality gun manufacturer could put out suck a crap design..

That’s why I was so excited to find 4DPF.com! You can do away with that filter and the regen bs for good!

I’m not sure on the hours, but it’s still on the boat running like a champ!

​@@OldBarkerRanch1981 My engine has 900 hours and I need to get this done soon too. I have 100 on one cylinder and 65 on the other. greetings from the Netherland 😃

It’s not a hard job, just a few details to pay close attention to.

Ya do what ya gotta do!

No problem! We actually did sell a 2019 King Ranch F150 because of this exact problem! 3.5 EcoBoost this is a known problem… Happy the video helped!!

The Channel Info page should have an email for me.

I believe they are 4 bolt but need to look, I will verify tomorrow. I will see if I can share the website where I got the parts breakdown and part numbers.

good motors but attention to detail when rebuilding is key!

I use it for all kinds of stuff! It’s some really good stuff for sure!

I’m pretty sure they are 4 bolt valve covers. But I would have to look to be sure.

Agreed

Sorry, I have not as of yet. But if it has the 3.8L then it will work.

Absolutely!

There is a video on my channel that goes over everything that was purchased to build the table. I believe the were NEMA 34 motors...

Right! Although I hope this one was a rare case but either way, everything that caused all the problems is gone now!

Awesome, thank you!

@@OldBarkerRanch1981 YW. Sent you an email. From Reily

That’s a good one! I know the bottom edge of the jug was tapered so if you are really careful you could probably use a small pick or tiny flat head screwdriver to walk them in. Besides that would be a 2 piece ring compressor. I know at a bare minimum if you are that deep into the motor I would at least replace the rings in that cylinder.

I believe so, what engine is in it? Size or model

Well it so happens that I have an extra kit but… I don’t believe it fits the M5660. The kit for the 3.8L was just over 2k with the exhaust piece. You should definitely contact 4DPF.Com and see what they have for your machine!

​@@OldBarkerRanch1981 This was exactly what I was hoping to find. Great video - Thanks. I also have an M5-111 (I'm in central Texas). I've had my DPF system go down twice. Luckily within warranty. Now outside of warranty so looking to head off the future problem I just know will happen. Are you interested in selling the extra kit? If so, I am interested in it. Not sure if you do installs or if it was just a favor for a friend, but if you did, I'd be interested in that as well, otherwise, doesn't seem too tricky of an install.

If you would like to, email me and I’m sure we could work something out! My email should be under the “about” tab for the channel.

Thanks!

Agreed! we did replace the oil pump/gear but I did not replace the other plastic gears although we probably should have...

How soon? I'm curious. Thanks for the video on this. My 2022 M5-111 hasn't had any DEF / REGEN related issues in the 2 years I've owned it, but I think they ironed most of them out by now, or hopefully they have. I heard they had total hell with them for a couple year prior to that though.

They absolutely did have problems with the earlier ones. What I have found is if you have the 4 speed gearbox, expect def problems. If you have the 6-Speed gearbox, seems they have been pretty good.

@@OldBarkerRanch1981 Wow, didn't know that. I have the 18 speed. 6 speed Hi/Lo with push button splitter. Reminds me of my old 1650D oliver with the instant under-drive.

Yeah that’s the newer one, you should be good but like anything def.. it’s not “if”, it’s “when”!!

It is!! I Actually got two more of these kits if you need one. Its been flawless! and I believe we got a little more HP from it..

Thanks!!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thats the common thought.. I am going to test that theory soon, I will post a video with the results.

Ever since I changed mine, it has worked flawlessly! I know Tweco makes some good stuff but that 180 is complete garbage!

@@OldBarkerRanch1981 Just to follow up, I took the torch apart and sure enough there was a large charred spot inside of it where the set screw holds it together. The current goes through that connection so it was arcing out apparently. Cleaned it all up and tightened it with some thread lock and the problem is solved!

Thats awesome!! I thought about using adhesive lined heat shrink but I worried about the twisting still messing with it.. Honestly I like the Yeswelder lead better anyway. It has been flawless and I have run 5 11Lb spools of wire through it since. Should be changing to my 6th tomorrow. Glad I at least got ya pointed in the right direction!

If you are talking about the main harness to the ECM then yes, I had planned to dielectric grease the plug and wrap in up. I am also going to remove the ECM and put it with the DPF filter on the shelf. But good advice for sure!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I hope it helps someone out!

Cover?

Ya know, I never thought about that! I may just do that! I will put a video up about it when I do! Thanks for the awesome suggestion!!!

@@OldBarkerRanch1981 hey there, if you're anything like me you hoard fittings like it's the great depression 2.0(which I believe it is). The first one I built was a combination of gas lines from an old camper and the brass end of one of these flex hoses. If you've got access to a lpg detector you can make sure your lines are good after you're done.

Exactly, yes I have everything need to make my own gas lines and you are on the same track as me. I figured a hard copper line with a short semi-hard/flex line at the bottle. At the very least it would tell us if the oil is in the propane tank or if it is the hose “leaching” as that is the most popular opinion. While a lot of people’s suggestions sound correct in theory, I would like hard proof via process of elimination!

Copper lines don't flex very good, and are really unnecessary if you set it up correctly with a filter.

Thanks for the comment!! I will definitely pass on the info, he will love to hear this… Happy Hunting!

I did, I started ordering parts for the new one but I still don’t have everything… my apologies it’s taking so long. My normal work has been very slow and things have been pretty tight around here if ya know what I mean..

Shoot me your phone number at OldBarkerRanch1981@gmail.com Or send me a message and I will send you mine. It will be much easier to explain it that way

Hopefully it stays that way! good luck bud!
