1972 GMC Ramp Truck Hauls it's first load in 30 Years! Huge Failure!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.ค. 2022
- After updating the brakes and tuning up the 1972 GMC 1 ton in the previous video, we still needed to install a fuel tank behind the seat, install a rear brake line and fix a massive transmission leak. We still need to test out the winch and see if this thing will actually haul a vehicle yet! So let's get after it! Since this truck is a family heirloom it is NOT FOR SALE! As always, thanks for watching!

The ramp truck sure would look good haulin' a '55 Gasser around....just sayin' 😉
That would be cool for sure!
No doubt
@@MortskeRepair I think your audio was better without the new Mic....noticed by day two you filed it into the " Round file" !
@@truthfilterforyoutube8218 Yeah, we need to tune it in a bit!
This is nice high five,not in the face channel.. I would say its the guvvnaa stuck solenoid/valve thing maybe just hit it with a sledge hammer should do the job..keep it real don't change take care.✌
You don't have to change your format for me, I like the fact you narrate. Keep doing things your way
Thanks for the feedback!
I agree. Don't change a thing.👍😁
LMAO! thumbs up thats what you call it
@@donparker8246 )
Man honestly I enjoy that u talk a bunch, you always give good knowledge and alot you're fans like who you are as a tuber🤘🏼🤘🏼 so whoever commented saying u talk to much can go chew on a cassing
also the “useless knowledge of the day” is usually helpful every time
i whish he was closer to me so we could hang hes a good bit like me a loner
You can never ever talk to much in this kind of video, but you could not say enough sometimes.
@@danielsimmons7397 exactly, I’ve tried to make videos doing this kind of stuff but I can’t make myself talk. Then the video sucks and I don’t upload it.
Hey you selling that AWD Chevy Astro? I like them!😁👋
You talking your way through everything you do, is calming and informative.
DON'T YOU GO CHANGIN!!!
Thanks for the feedback!
Part of your charm is that you explain everything and continue to narrate. I wouldn't have you any other way mortske) Another great video, I love watching you get things done and your approached to each and every item. There's a method to your madness obviously! Thanks again for the entertainment, Dave.
Wow, thank you!
@@MortskeRepair Yes, I've been wrenching for 40 years and I learn good tricks from you, thanks to you taking the time to explain. That is the mark of a good teacher.
Big facts
And twice and then trice lol thumbs up
Don’t change anything about your videos, I love watching all of them. Make some more of the ramp truck, you and Duff keep up the good work!!!
Thanks for the feedback!
yupster ditto a thumbs up on that, He rambles but it's his show!
@@petepeterson4540 Then again; important details might seem like rambling -- until you're the one dealing with them. 😄
Let's see more of that ramp truck getting back on the road. I'm pretty sure Duff loves it as much or more than anyone else. Keep up the great work.
If you use a snatch block when pulling it doubles you pull power but cuts the speed in half. Simple way to slow it down.
Keep up the good work! Love your vids.
Personally I would jump at the chance to say “snatch block” whenever the truck got used.
I didn't read your contribution, before I added mine, snatch block is the way to go.
Yep, you saved me the trouble of explaining this. I rank gear and pulley ratios in the top 5 of man's greatest inventions.
I think he's going to have a hundred comments talking about snatch blocks. I just mentioned it without looking at the rest of these comments.
I've heard of a snatch , means to grab , right? Idk
A) Put an 4L80 in it. Takes care of brute strength and OD. Also lowers your first gear, so take off is far easier and safer.
B) Yank the junk gears and put a set of 3.73:1 Gears in it. You'll have plenty of pulling power and not be stopping at every fuel station.
C) Extend the ramps toward the cab only lower the angle to put more weight on the front axle. You will appreciate this when at high speed on the freeway!!
D) GOOD or BETTER LED tail lights.
E) bright work lights aiming toward ramps and under what you want to haul. Makes night hauling a breeze!!
F) AT LEAST chain locks for the ramps. To keep them from falling out or being stolen.
G) HEAVY DUTY "D" rings on the back end of the ramps for tie down..
H) You might consider cutting off the inner angle of the ramp beds and adding 2"x3" angle to the inside so you can pick up most of todays cars and baby SUVs.
I) Replace all your cooling system and belts before heading out for more than around the block.
J) I nearly forgot, A LARGE tranny cooler will help keep you out of transmission hell.. The in-radiator types SUCK unless you live in the cold North... lol..... (I used to)!
This is all far better to have than not and you break down somewhere, especially in the dark. Bring Duff for protection!! ;)
That's a long list!
@@MortskeRepair All needed stuff for a good run for more cars and trucks... All pays you back with TRUST!!!
Sounds like more content for the channel
@@augiezehner6059 ABSOLUTELY!!!! ;) And all good stuff many can use the learnin on!! hahahaha...
Glad to sponsor a battery for such a cool truck ! I hope it serves you well. For the people saying you talk to much they are probably not mechanically inclined and have no clue what you are saying so they say you talk to much to make themselves feel better. Either way don't change the way you are,they can go play in the street and we can keep enjoying your vids and commentary.
Much appreciated!
he rambles on instead of gettin her done but thumbs up I like it to and thanks for the sponsor
@@petepeterson4540 He gets it done too though, all sorts of those things run better than they did when they rolled into the shop the first time.
Keep up the commentary, that is the main reason I watch. Love the ramp truck. I have always wanted one!
Much appreciated!
Love the GMC Mortske! Ok on trans, my days in trans shop, we saw ALOT of turbo 400 governors strip the gear. They are a nylon material and heat and age make the hard. Plus the forward and back movement under stress, IE towing, 4x4, dump trucks, etc. its a simple fix. Do a fluid reading IE sparkles, mud, burnt you’ll know that smell from 10 miles away lol. That kick down solenoid must be hooked up and working for proper line pressures, it will lead to burned clutches trying to apply with low pressure if it applies at all. Don’t count out vacuum modulator, check for vacuum signal, fluid present at intake (thru the line) newer ones are adjustable. Also when I’ve done those long runs of brake lines in trucks, I’ve taken old one off (in pieces sometimes lol) I use them as a template OUTSIDE the truck. Its way easier to flare ends and make all the appropriate bends. Also as for the end nut, OMG yes I too have done what you have several times lol. So I now use blue painters tape, I slide on nut, then tape the line to keep it on. It works great most times. Not always but its my tech tip lol. That truck would look great hauling one of your hot rods! Also if you do install a 4L80 trans will you please film the swap? Thanks again
Ive used a lot of trucks with automatic trans. And every one I eventually ended up pouring fluid in them. I can take them apart and fix them. and have done so many times. However in a using working truck. The best fix that will hold up and last is to change the truck over to a stick trans.
All that fuss and bother is sidestepped entirely with a 5-speed manual. Just sayin'.
@@thecollectoronthecorner7061 Yep. Just nowhere near as much complexity inside a manual trans, and unless you're a doof and clutch dump the thing with a 25% overload, even if it does have a problem it's probably still driveable.
Thanks so much for the info!
I was gonna suggest both things. I had a Pontiac lemans that kept getting low on transmission fluid, it was sucking through the vacuum line. I was gonna say the kick down switch might effect other things and you confirmed it! I hope it works out ok. I love those trucks.
“You can talk all you want. I don’t mind”
That’s a quote from Anne of Green Gables, I’m sure absolutely none of you folks have ever watched it but my sister forced me to period anyway, thank you for all the content and all the fun talking because it makes me really look forward to Mondays
I love your commentary don’t ever stop talking your knowledge and wisdom is a valuable teaching tool for us
Especially when you repeat it 3 times...beetlejuice, beetlejuice, brake line!
Talking your knowledge is a little bot of a stretch. Very enjoyable for a shade tree worker though.
Thanks for the feedback!
Don't let the haters get to you. Some of us enjoy your commentary. I think the wires on the transmission are for the backup lights 🤔. Great video and more on the ramp truck would be great to see.
TH400 have electric kick downs
Great video :)
Simple solution to the winch speed problem would be to use a snatch block (pulley) on the bronco end and put the cable hook somewhere around the winch. That would halve the speed and double the power.
Oh and yeah more ramp truck 🤠
Yup
Snatch block = $40 fix to a speedy winch
Like everyone else says, you don't talk too much. No matter if it's your useful knowledge or even the useless kind, I enjoy your narration!!! Keep doing what you're doing!
Don't never change because I started watching your videos because you would talk and tell about everything if someone don't like it they can leave and find something else to watch
Thanks for another great Mortske Monday! And thanks to Chin for the great editing. Good luck 🐾🍺
Our pleasure Stu!
Son of a biscuit..! That ‘72 GMC would sure look awesome on the Interstate hauling that ‘66 Bronco to our ranch in California. Cheers Tom🍾🍻
I love all the narrative. And without talking may forget the tip of the day. Glad to see u getting this vehicle back up and working.
I like the way you do things because its different from what other people do keep up the good work
Much appreciated!
Love the ramp truck, would love to see more videos! Way to go, so cool to see a vintage service truck doing its thing!
You Are The MAN MORTSKE AND DUFF IS THE CORRECT ENGINEER FOR ALL PROJECTS YOU COME ABOUT 👌
My favorite blip is the lady saying ‘Ain’t no one got time for that’
Hello, many years ago I had a 1 ton flatbed Chevy with a 454 and 400 turbo that would not shift. Mechanic replaced the governor spool valve and the problem was fixed. Watching this reminded me of that issue.
We'll check into it.
Two Mondays off in a Row to Catch the New Vidja! WOOHOOO
Keep it up..
Love your channel, just the way it is.
No one is ever left wondering, because you explain what you do in detail.
New mic is just fine. You do not talk too much. Your comments and explanations are informative as well as entertaining. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback!
I really like your commentary on telling us what this and that is in all your knowledge. 🎉💯
Are you a inmate or just lonely .Is clay the same as S---.The dude has a problem single lonely man they never shut up
@@adamheazlett1179 Then don’t watch. Quit whining.
@@keithharden7844 A-MEN to stop Whining & don't watch ADAMN HEAZLETT go watch Sesame Street FOOL.
You're like the shop teacher I never had. Thanks for all of the knowledge I've gained from watching you work on old junk. Audio is fine with the mic but it was just as good without it so there's no need to wear the cone of shame either
Thanks for the kind words!
Manual would surely cause less issues. Our pleasure!
Don't listen to those other guys Mortske, you don't talk too much, you give out great information 👍
I appreciate that!
Here in Flint, MI we can not wait for our weekly Mortske show keep that great work going and tell Duff hello!
Governor on a 400 first thing to check. Put a push bumper on the front to counter balance the load on the back to make it drive better. Can use hang on tractor weights to experiment for what’s needed.
We'll check it out
Another amazing installment from Mortske and Duff. Restoring any vehicle is like a money pit. Where do you stop sinking cash into it? Usually depends on how long it will last, and how attached you are to it. Loving the Duff cam. Already looking forward to next week's video!! Keep them coming, and thanks as always!!
I learn something from you almost every week. Keep doing what you want, the way you want to do it. It’s obviously working!
Good to know!
Your chatter makes these videos much more compelling. I always learn things even at my age. 👍
Thanks for the feedback!
Really enjoy watching your videos they’re awesome
Glad you like them!
Cool truck! Definitely a wireless controller for the warn winch.
Cool to finally see this back in the shop. Look forward to more videos on it.
I see you have a new shop cool, I hope the people that are envious cant sleep every time you mention it. Those who don't like what you do can start a channel yours shows 109k subs keep up the good work.
Thanks!
Would love to see this thing fixed up and used to pull the next revival out of the weeds! 👌
Me too!
Don't change anything!! You guys are great !!!! Love the videos you and Duff do. Always think your commentary is great and makes the video!!!!
Love your videos. " The more you know" is a wise phrase. You have lots to say and I enjoy learning things I didn't know. Love this ramp truck series. Coming along nicely
Glad you like them!
Love the content as always. As far as I know, the Eaton rears only came with 4.10, 4.56 and 5.14. I think there was a myth about a 3.90 gear set, but I have never seen one or know of anyone who has either.
Yep, 4.10 is as tall as those get. You either run an overdrive, do a 14-bolt swap, or make your peace with driving 50 mph.
Thanks for the info!
Put a pully on the vehicle you're loading up. The winch cable goes through it and back to anchor on the ramp truck. That will half the speed and double the pulling power.
I don’t think you talk to much, the talk and content are what I come for.
Thanks for the feedback!
I’m glad I can hear you better. Thanks for doing the mic. The new shop is very cavernous and echoes so it helps. Keep on talking. You give good tips and explanations.
Got it!
That warn winch is a very sought after by off roaders. I had one on my jeep TJ and people were always trying to buy or trade for it. It is a little quick . I believe that harbor freight has a wireless remote that will work. I emailed a pdf on the winch. Shift prob may be your governor gear is apple cored I ve had that happen a time or 2.
It would require modifying the angle of the winch, but I believe you could extend the ramps forward quite a bit which would help your weight and balance.
Who couldn't love this channel Duff old car's trucks can always lurn something if you just listen 😁😁😁💟
Mortske, its your channel. If anybody don't like it, tell em to kick rocks! Keep up the great work.
Awesome sound and picture is very HD and clear, your channels are very inspiring to me and makes me want to do more projects thank you @Mortski
Great to hear!
I appreciate that you show your mistakes. It makes us feel better about it.
Glad to be of assistance!
I think you have one of the best show’s on TH-cam. Your very knowledgeable and you don’t beat around the bush on shit. And I dig that you tell us viewer’s on what your doing. Wished there was more honest people out there like you. In the world you and in shops. Keep up the good work and the awesome tips and. Love the 64 wagon it’s bad ass. And the blue Square Body Suburban. Thanks keep the show’s coming and most of all love Duff. He’s awesome!
Good video! This project's coming together nicely. I'd stick with the TH400. OD transmissions work fine but, when swap cost is factored in against wear + fuel, the upgrade is rarely justifiable. But I'm preachin' to the choir.
Eh, swapping a 5-speed manual in there will pay for itself within the first 500 miles from recouping the 30% or so fuel lost to torque converter slip and general automatic trans inefficiencies. First thing I'd do with this truck if it was mine would be to stick swap it.
It’ll NEVER get good fuel mileage! That why she was parked!
We'll see if we can fix this TH400 first before digging into the OD swap topic too much
@@MortskeRepair To be fair, you brought it up during the video so...
@@TestECull You're not wrong.
Funny,when door opens Duff comes a running
Never fails!
Personally, the ramp truck is my favorite in your fleet, and I wanna see her get all the attentions! Great video as always, and I hope to see more on the old girl.
I love that you leave your mistakes in, it helps with my self esteem
Glad to hear it!
Harbor freight has a wireless winch controller for $40. Not sure if the plug is the same. You could use a snatch block to double your pulling power and cut speed in half. It's always a very good idea to secure your ramps.
Any idea if that wireless controller is instant on and off? My winch has a wireless controller but it's on a relay and runs 2 second bursts minimum!! 😬 I agree with your feedback! 👌🏻 I was thinking the same thing about the snatch block
@@robertjoslinjr8536 It works when you push the button and stops when you let off.
@@rtex9364 Thanks!! I'll check it out!
If I were you I would keep that truck after you get it fixed up I think it would contribute to your menagerie of vehicles 😁
No doubt
Hey T, I respect that you show your errors, it is realistic, makes you more legit. I have also done the flare without putting the fitting on, twice in a row. It's what makes a man better.
Love the ramp truck!! My grandaddy had the exact truck even down to the color and it was definitely a hand full but we hauled tons with it
43:55 5-speed manual swap sounds about right to me. Lose the 30% loss inthe converter you've got now AND get an overdrive gear or two to boot. And be able to bump start it if that starter ever goes out...
If only it were that easy!
The "easy" thing to do would be one of those Doug Nash/US Gear overdrives that bolts on in place of the TH400 tail housing. The hard part is finding one and hoping nothing is broken on it.
Nice truck! I would swap in a 700r4/4L80 for overdrive,you should be able to find one the same length and I believe the drive shaft yolk is interchangeable between them, plus it would be cheaper than a overdrive. Also throw a set of airbags in her for overload or fill the front bumper with weight.
I hope you know we appreciate your videos and the fact that you take the time to read our comments
Glad to hear it!
Love to see the old ramp truck coming together.
blowing those lines out looks like an old man trying to pee.
No comment
Duff and a bit of Petty, gotta dig it. Tight fit on the rig, ya ain't going to get many of the new age ricers on that unit, heh. Save the iron kids and melt the plastic. Be safe out there and make sure you do not misuse the "locking grips" Not that it matters, but VGG has made the big time and only uploads when he feels like it. You can always count on Mortske Repair to show us the workings of a real shop. Ty Duff and Mortske.
More ramp truck! It will be real Handy to have around the shop! Need to bring it in to the twenty first century with new winch, newer transmission and differential! Always enjoy watching you and Duff !
Sounds expensive!
Mortske, your format is just fine. You and Duff do a great job of sharing practical information, with an added entertainment factor. Keep up the good work. That's why we view your channel!
Thanks
More talking, more snarky Mortske makes the world go round-n- round. Mortske 4 life!
Thanks for the feedback!
Oh hell yeah!!!! It's another MULLET MORTSKE MONDAY!!!!
Great job Mortske. Not a failure. She’s hauling!! Make more videos on the ramp truck!! Be well. Big Al.
Excellent video Mortske!!
Cool truck. Have a great weekend. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, you too!
I love ramp trucks, so hope to see it again!
Mortske ,you got the gift of gab . It's not a bad thing ! I enjoy it as much as the other 99.99 percent of your viewers . I had a 69 chev short box, the gas tank had a leak half way up . So I just filled half way 😅
Brilliant!
Mortske Mondays always great!
Glad you enjoy them!
Hi from uk TM & DD👋👍🐾🐾 great to see the recovery truck bk and on a winning streak till it wasnt kinda, kinda winning🤔 yeah when letting us keep eye out on you blowing lines out etc please put us under a umbrella or put safetys on us please my eyes are stinging of the varnish😂😂🙈 lol and I rolled sideways on the brake pipe flaring 😂 I do things like that 👌😂 at moment going thru a phase of picking up ratchet needing say 10mm but take the extension of ratchet, put ratchet and 10mm down and take extension what I never needed going back putting extension bk and goin out with something else till I find 10mm again 😂😂 we love it 👌 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋🐾🐾
Double check for vacuum signal at the modulator, was a problem on my 78 Chevy C30 ramp truck , basically same setup as you 454 with a th400 simple fix thankfully, other than that I would look for the governor gear failure. Love the content, you and Duff keep up the good work!
Glad to see this thing again. It's awesome.
Love the ramp truck!, I have a '72 c30 so I'll admit I'm biased on the ol' one ton. That Warn 8274 is my favorite winch, and with the metal controller cover you can tell it's a 1970's model. Great winch!
Thanks for another good video!
Thanks for the info!
I look forward everyday to living vicariously through you. Thanks for the videos!
Thanks Jeff
I personally enjoy your commentary. Please don't stop. Regarding the spring stuff on the brake lines, the Google box says you were correct. It is to protect it in vulnerable areas.
Thanks for the feedback!
Morning Duffske! I enjoy the talking. Be you and don’t worry about the comments.
Mortske I enjoy your talking. 99% of time your passing information. Ramp truck would interesting to watch being brought back to road worthy. Just one old man’s opinion. Keep up the good work.👍👍
Keep doing it explaining things . I enjoy the info
As always I enjoy the videos and work. Who ever said that you talk to much obviously doesn't understand that you take the time to explain the issues. Thank you again!!
Much appreciated!
@@MortskeRepair no problem.
I'd like to see you get the ramp truck back to work so we can see you & Duff go pick up some cars to play with.
Great video as always, I was told once that they wrap the spring around the break line to keep them from kinking during installation on the assembly line. We use a spring tool to wrap around steel lines when we bend them at work
Thanks for the info!
For a guy that hangs out with duff and works mostly alone, you have a great camera presence . I’ve learned a lot from how you explain what you’re doing. You’re probably the best out there right now, keep the videos coming buddy…
Awesome, thank you!
I appreciate that you show your mistakes. It makes me feel a little less stupid when I mess up over and over. Just a little.
Glad to hear it!
I like your talking thru it, the others can just go away!
You do you. Thanks for your knowledge! 👍🏻
I appreciate that!
Even though this wasn’t a new project, revisiting a previous one and fixing issues are just as enjoyable and satisfying to watch! Also, someone painting the plastic engine cover neon green 🟢 was an obnoxious surprise for a car I purchased, to go along with the differential covers you mentioned.
Love the ramp truck Mortske ,yes let’s see more of it, and please keep your video formats the same I like the way you explain everything, Seems like I learn something new every time
Thanks! Will do!
Happy Monday, Mortske!
Mortske, C'mon, now. don't hate on the NiCop line. It is the most practical solution to replacing old steel lines. Big boy pants, Big Daddy. Love the content.
You don't talk to much at all. It's nice that you explain about everything.
Like to see you and puddin do another show together.
Love the look of that vintage GMC. I picked up a Cyclops light recently. Just used it to pull a tilt cylinder out of a forklift Tues night. They're awesome. Keep up the good work.
Right on!!
