I Added a Winch to My Car Hauler Trailer! This Will Make Things so Much Easier!!!
มุมมอง 2203 ปีที่แล้ว
So I have to pick up my sister in laws car to do a head gasket at my shop and it doesn't run. I didn't want to push it up the trailer so I added a harbor freight Badlands 2500 lb winch. Ill be using a snatch block to double its capacity to 5k. Watch along to see how I welded the plate and added the winch.

มุมมอง 2023 ปีที่แล้ว
So Amber went to work and I had her car for the day to do her oil change and I decided to prank her by telling her I put exhaust on her car. Needless to say she wasn't amused at all. Kayden seemed to like it so there's a plus. Her reaction had me laughing for days!!

In this video we get the fuel tank back on, mikuni carb, torque converter, new tabs for the cable on and finally get to try out the new engine and wow, its such a difference. Its is incredibly fast. I'm so happy with how this motor turned out. I looked up stock idle on the 212 and its 1800 - 50 so seems like the tach is working. Thanks for watching.

Predator 212 Upgrades Part 2- Port and Polish (Head Prep)
มุมมอง 11K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Today I take the head apart and do a minor port and polish on the heads to smooth it out and open it up a little! Put the new 22 pound springs in and finished the head to have it ready for the reassembly! Then I tap the governor arm hole, governor gear dowel hole and oil level sensor hole so no leaks happen. Finally I remove the gear off the crank that controlled the governor gear! Watch part 1...

How To Easily Replace the Thermostat on a DELETED 6.7 Dodge Cummins
มุมมอง 20K6 ปีที่แล้ว
Today I change out the thermostat in my 07 Dodge 2500 6.7 Cummins. It’s deleted and I wanted to show how easy it is to do the thermostat! More videos to come!
Looks like Arizona to me
Thank you brother. Your the man .helped me out major.
Nice one
thanks so much for this tutorial. It helped me a lot. God bless you, my men !!
Nice video, saving for reference in future
So, not a big deal with torquing the lower ball joint to 150? I maxxed out my 80 pound torque wrench and was planning on buying a 200 to finish the job.
FFS, get on with it!
Thank you!!! By far, the best tutorial for F250 2wd ball joint replacement I have ever found.
Hey...friend...from Puerto Rico ..what is the brand of the new balljoint?
best vid on go kart diy steering without all that fancy machining bs ... your Ackerman steering seems lil off .. does this not matter much for off road?
Great video! Do you or anyone have a video on the I-beam bushings? About to do those next
Awesome
I zip tied my springs down and that worked really good putting keepers back on..great video bro!
I got a question, where did you get the ball joints?
I would like to seee why you did not put the large ball joint on first and press it in with the clamp
Great video, Finishing my coffee so I can go get started on mine. Needed a refresher, and to see if there were any snags I might encounter.Looks pretty straight forward.
Thanks this video simplified the process 🥇 💪🏾🫡
I'm about to change my spindle and hub on my 06 f250. It's been many years ago since I've done one, but it wasn't an f250. I searched and searched. All I came across was for 4×4's but I finally found yours 2×4. You were clear and understanding, you did a good step by step, only improvement you could make would be lighting and an adjustable tripod so the camera will be at same height or looking down as you work. 👍
Awesome video man. Gonna do my ball joints this weekend and now I'm confident after watching your video.
The Music Kills ME
Dude, YOU ARE AWESOME ! I watch a lot of vids, too many guys gotta keep their face in the camera for excessive amount of time so I stop watching them within a couple of minutes. YOU had enough face time to explain the process and then you got busy with the work...minimal face time=terrific content. By the way, can you come do my 08 f250 now ? I am saving your vid for future review, THANK YOU !
Awesome job! We should all think like you do.👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸
I read somewhere that grinding the intake will reduce your low end torque. Is this true?
You need more lighting , some areas were dark on the back side. good job.
Got anything on changing the tie rods out on this 2wd model? Can’t find any vids.
Has using the lock collars tack welded held up so far? It seems like a reallt smart idea. I bought a similar rack off amazon and am brainstorming how to mount it. I don't weld but i might need to find someone to do this for me. Rest of my kart has been fabricated with bolts so far
great video !!!!!
What about 625cc replacing big valve?
Just what I needed.... thank you! I also appreciate the "pro tips" like the paper towel/ socket trick and the grease/ gasket trick.
What’s the link to steering rack and wheels please
Great job
Did this on 4wd, a little different , little harder, more involved.
Yea, if you can't jack up a car, this is NO job for you!
Can you post some pictures of the entire predator please? I am trying to base some of the structure of mine off of yours
Is there a good easy way to buy a steering system that will work for go kart I already have?
Yes and no! They will take some modifications no matter what unless you already have the rack and pinion set up! It’s worth the effort though!
You need to bias the intake port. Also, using a flashlight to add light inside the port will help greatly. Good video
Doing this same job today. 2001 f250. Just need to look for a thick steel plate since i have the same HF ball joint tool.
Is this winch enough to pull the cars up the ramps? I was going to get one for my 16ft car hauler i mostly use it for cars but sometimes ill end up towing a 5000lb suv . I keep reading online that you need a 4500lb winch and up . .....how does your 2500 do so far?
So if you use a snatch block it will double the winch power! I pulled a small suv onto my trailers no problem! I don’t think it will without the snatch block!
@@sparksadventures9140 i may just do that! Then i can keep the budget low and the battery draw low also . Its gotta be better than pushing them up myself or using a hand crank winch like i do now! I also have 8ft aluminum ramps so that helps to
That’s why I went with the smaller one! Doesn’t get used a lot and didn’t wanna spend that much money on it! The extra 20 for the snatch block made it very budget friendly
@@sparksadventures9140 thats the plan for the weekend! Im gunna pick up the zxr2500 a snatch block and a mount
I pulled my 4door jeep up onto my trailer that was also on a incline up onto my trailer with no snatch block ! But i do plan to only use my snatch block when pulling everything up. I just wanted to test it
Valve seal what one does it go on intake or exhaust
Intake
That’s one nasty ass grinder burn! I hate when I do that. Seems like I would learn but some how it happens every couple of years. I see some rack and pinions on eBay for around $75 for EZGO golf carts that are a little narrower. I remember my dad setting his tow in and out on our 57 orange and white Ford. Jack the front end up just under the ball joints, Spin the wheel and use blue carpenters chalk close to the middle of both tires, spin again rub the center with a nail to leave a narrow black line. Then he would take a long stick and drive two nails the distance between the marks on the front of the tires. Then check the distance on the marks at the rear if the front tires. He would adjust so the front marks would be about a 1/4 inch closer on the front marks than the rear marks. Depending on how tight your steering is maybe a little less.
Great video. I chucked that tool up in the lathe and removed .100 or so and it worked good. Angle iron was to hard for me to hold. 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏 Thanks for video.
It kinda looked like you were squeezing one of the hoses. We’re you?
If you can get a hose crimp tool it does help
Awesome 3 part series! What type of torque converter are you using ?
The juggernaut from go power sports! It’s excellent!
Thanks about how much time start to finish?
Couple hours maybe.
That winch plate is not straight. You should probably fix it so you don’t have winch issues
I use a snatch block and then hook it to the front of the trailer. Makes the winch in line and roles up perfect
Thanks for the video. I put down the tablet and did it straight up. I’m grateful this truck is deleted. My second Gen 44 truck is so easy.
What happened to the abs sensor wire.???opps
Great job, great video. Information that was very helpful.
Turn the fucking dryer off already 🤷🏻♂️
Ya got a LINK or description of the rack??? I'm wondering IF I could use such on a lawnmower?
Hey bro can you help me fix up my cart Iam near go Powersports
If I had the time I would. Having some family stuff I’ve been taking care of and that’s why I haven’t got any new videos out!
