while you have engine apart, make sure to remove front cover and do the aftermarket fix on the dowel pin that sometimes drops into front gear cover. Very easy fix. Great work, Bill
I see so many guys working on cars and first starts. I don't have a car to work on myself. I'd like to travel around and do one with some of them. At 61 and nearly retired i have nothing to do.
My son found a 12 valve p pump at our local pull a part. So I ran down there and pulled it. I paid $300 dollars for it. It’s currently on the same stand that you bought for this video!
Is the 518 the overdrive non lock up trans? I bought one and haven't put in my W250. I'll probably have to put some new berrings in it and clean it out first.
Really enjoying the 1st gen videos. Your not afraid of not knowing how to do something. You figure it out. I would deff be interested in seeing some AC or AC conversion videos from you. There's not much of those out there and you always have a good way of hitting the important things. Great work. Keep it up bud.
Little late to the comment section but that bird is a baby just fledged. You can tell by the length of the tail feathers. Mom and Dad continue to feed them on the ground, in a bush, wherever they get to, until they can fully fly and feed themselves.
Crazy. These trucks you and your pops find. Amazing to see you bring them back to life. Glad to see a new video on this project. I think it's got a 🕳in it or really bad burnt. Long way to go. It is coming along. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God Bless.
Awesome video! It’s a shame that cylinder 6 failed but that’d be a good project for someone to rebuild and learn about proper engine work. Also enjoyed seeing the overdrive adaptation. Great work guys!
Its a shame what some yahoo did to that engine by burning unrefined food-grade oil in it. The culprit for all the damage was glycerin that's in the oil. You just can't dump food-grade oil into the fuel tank. The oil needs to be refined; chemicals need to be added in the process of refining; the glycerin has to be separated. If the refining is done properly, then the oil can be burned in a diesel engine. Glycerin is the culprit for all the stickiness and piston ring damage as well as lubrication starvation to the entire engine. What a damn shame.
Cylinder 6 got a divorce. Said “it’s always up and down with you guys, I’m breakin outta here.” Great info about setting up that OD switch, cool test with the gauge. Shoutout to the shop bird
I recall doing doing an overdrive bypass on an old Transam I had that needed overdrive. Seems like I used an oiled pressure switch ran to ground. Screwed that into the 4 pressure band screw on the side of the trans. Worked good. Too bad TH-cam didn’t exist back when I did work on cars. I think I would have liked doing vids on that. Perhaps, it’s not too late, lol. I still know my way around an engine bay. Thanks for the vid. It was good!
Bird looks like a baby flycatcher. I get them building a nest on whatever you hang up. Top of your rake, shovel or where ever. Great bug catchers to have around.
Mr. B. Here ! Easy Off Oven Cleaner might work ! LOL ! Make that a engine a parts engine , move on fine a drive train for truck if your going to keep . Best of luck !
Another great video, I'm glad to see your numbers keep heading up I knew when you did the old International that people would love it and it would be popular.
I have salvaged old commercial kitchens for scrap, and the accumulated grease behind and beneath the visible surfaces is just NASTY!! FAST ORANGE gets it off my hands.
Sad ting about the Cummings engine being absolutely trashed. Like you said, another future video. Great job on figuring out that overdrive on your ol' truck. Until next time ✌️
Normally Bio-Diesel works fine in these old 5.9's. The former owner just didn't realize that you have to be on top of the fuel filter maintenance when using it.
I'd kill for a stock 1st gen, they're clean, most 1st gens aren't like this would love a stock truck project that isn't ruined with aftermarket everything on it and a stupid color wrap or paint job
Those sounds like it's a close to the 350 C which is an old Chevy transmission where you just put a solenoid in it and flip the switch at about 45 to 50 to click it into overdrive
Travis that engine stand had to be extra heavy duty. I can see where that’s a pretty good investment. Plus the rebuild on that engine will take quite a bit of time. So understand why your not going to jump on this.Your transmission problem solved. Outstanding! 💯👊👍
I think you should just hone number 6 cylinder the best you can , or if you have or can borrow a boring tool, bore out the cylinder and slap it back together. It was already running on 5 cyls. So it will smoke a little. New rings, hone job and put it in an old beater of some sort. It would make a great video. Don't give up so easy. I've seen way worse engines brought back to life on will it runs.
I'd say you could rebuild that engine and get some doors and a transmission for the donor truck, you could flip it. If i remember from the earlier video, the body is somewhat decent.
Another great video, I'm glad to see your numbers keep heading up I knew when you did the old International that people would love it and it would be popular. Just wanted to give you a word of encouragement and I always look forward to those videos so keep them coming. Semper Fi
That's what I did on my 89 took the 3-speed out and got a overdrive trans put it in there I did get my first speeding ticket with the 3-speed going 73 miles an hour😂
Did that Dodge have the 727 trans, or a 518? The reason I ask, is because 1st gen Dodges with the 727 had a Dana 60 rear axle with very rare (for a 60) 3.08 gears!! But that might only be the 3/4 ton! EDIT: Oh, you just answered me!
Bro, I love you choice of headwear. Every one of your hats are nothing short of pimptacular.
😂😂 best comment

Thx!!! love to see you and your Dad work on them trucks!!!!
Thank you for purchasing the engine stand.

Thanks for the entertainment 😊
Thank you for watching!
I got a 91 d350 single cab it's got over a million miles on it drive it everyday I got a 93 250 Cummins 176,000 Mi runs perfect
My son found a 12 valve p pump at our local pull a part. So I ran down there and pulled it. I paid $300 dollars for it. It’s currently on the same stand that you bought for this video!
Jackstand will be useful again and again and again
Wish my engine stand was as strong as yours. Thumbs UP!!!
I’d really like to see a video from a 727-518 swap. I know I’m probably the only one but I’d watch it 👍🏻
Is the 518 the overdrive non lock up trans? I bought one and haven't put in my W250. I'll probably have to put some new berrings in it and clean it out first.
Hi travis thanks for taking one for the team on the stand . Cheers mate🇦🇺
Cheers 🍻 thanks for watching from across the pond

Cool truck, thank you for your APPRECIATION to your subscribers Travis

Commenting because of the major life investment 👍
😎😎
Road hard put up in a mess. It’s cool to watch the tear down. Great video
Thanks from. Sc.
Thanks for putting it out there for us.
The work you do is astounding, very cool to see the amount of time and work you put into these rides that otherwise would be scrap right now.
Thank you 🙏
Enjoyed the picture show.

Great video. Love to see the Westinghouse’s out there. I have the same set (electric and gas dryer). You and your Dad make a good team
Oh wow that’s cool do you actually use yours
In storage for now. Need to get the timer fixed on the washer (timer motor)

Been following you for a while on the tiktok there. I'm glad I finally got over to your TH-cam! You have Great skills Man

That’s a sweet truck! Great work man! Your 89-90 reminds me allot of my old 90 should have never sold it. Most reliable truck ever
Man that Cummins was nasty. Great job on the OD.
Thank you. !
Awesome video! Learning a lot about Cummins diesel, I don't know much about them but love the look of the first gen Cummins

mighty fine engine stand you got there

Beautiful engine stand.

Glad you didn't change the channel name mate.
Just amazing content!! Incredible editing! I subscribed. Thanks for all your efforts
As usual very interesting and smart video !
Thank you !
I have salvaged old commercial kitchens for scrap, and the accumulated grease behind and beneath the visible surfaces is just NASTY!! FAST ORANGE gets it off my hands.
All your videos I have watched deserve likes
Well! Great purchase! Keep up the good content!
Great video as always. Keep them coming. Greetings from Florida.
Love learning about diesels from you, im a complete noob but hope to one day be on your level! Much respect
Thank you I’m learning to
You should always loosen head bolts with a breaker bar, and from out side to inside in an x pattern.
Sad ting about the Cummings engine being absolutely trashed. Like you said, another future video.
Great job on figuring out that overdrive on your ol' truck.
Until next time ✌️
Thanks !
Thanks!
Well done.
great video, good content, those cummins engines are loved by many motor heads 😎
Thank you for sharing. God Bless 🙏
Thanks
Absolutely awesome episode 👍
Thank you 🙏
13:23 I have been there many times, 3/4 gun for the heavy duty stuff. Your going to get years from the air and battery tools
Normally Bio-Diesel works fine in these old 5.9's. The former owner just didn't realize that you have to be on top of the fuel filter maintenance when using it.
You do great work and are very informative.
So another great video.
Thank you!
hope that truck comes out good
Cool thanks 😊😊😊
Excellent video keep up first gen videos
Good job - well done. That Cummins was nasty!
Yeah it was ferocious
I'd kill for a stock 1st gen, they're clean, most 1st gens aren't like this would love a stock truck project that isn't ruined with aftermarket everything on it and a stupid color wrap or paint job
good job travis
Trav, if ya wanna get that nasty cooking grease off the engine, put a small bottle of Dawn dish soap in the pressure washer! That cuts thru ANYTHING!
Travis has a "Fleetwood Mac" moment @7:18
Oh boy back at er again
Those sounds like it's a close to the 350 C which is an old Chevy transmission where you just put a solenoid in it and flip the switch at about 45 to 50 to click it into overdrive
Good.job😄👍👍👏👏👏Nice truck 😍
Great job
my dad has a 96 dodge with the overdrive transmission. works great except for the noisy overdrive.i am thinking of replacing the overdrive unit.
Travis that engine stand had to be extra heavy duty. I can see where that’s a pretty good investment. Plus the rebuild on that engine will take quite a bit of time. So understand why your not going to jump on this.Your transmission problem solved. Outstanding! 💯👊👍
Yessir so much better now
Technically that engine stand is not heavy duty enough as the engine weight more than it’s rated capacity.
I think you should just hone number 6 cylinder the best you can , or if you have or can borrow a boring tool, bore out the cylinder and slap it back together. It was already running on 5 cyls. So it will smoke a little. New rings, hone job and put it in an old beater of some sort. It would make a great video. Don't give up so easy. I've seen way worse engines brought back to life on will it runs.
My 90 with a 727 and 3.07 did 80 mph easy! So I did the right thing and put a getrag 360 in her and now it dose 120!
Nice beefy engine stand 👍🏽
Well done👍🏼
Hole in the piston!
I'd say you could rebuild that engine and get some doors and a transmission for the donor truck, you could flip it. If i remember from the earlier video, the body is somewhat decent.
Cummins makes a repair sleeve so u don't have to bore out all the cylinders.
Okay, here's my comment for your engine stand, 😂
Thank you 💪🏼
Great info in this video, really enjoyed it.
Thank you dale 👍🏻
I seen a tool that you add to a drill that hones the cylinder walls again which means that you could have just put it right back together and ran it
How the hell could anyone be stupid enough to treat a valuable 5.9 this way?? They might as well have poured sand in it!
The definition of "Road hard and put a way wet".
Yes
Another great video, I'm glad to see your numbers keep heading up I knew when you did the old International that people would love it and it would be popular. Just wanted to give you a word of encouragement and I always look forward to those videos so keep them coming. Semper Fi
Thanks for the compliment ! More to come.
Surprised that jack stand held the engine.
That's what I did on my 89 took the 3-speed out and got a overdrive trans put it in there I did get my first speeding ticket with the 3-speed going 73 miles an hour😂
Its only an engine different fuel is all the principle is the same, the compression is much higher on diesels as are torque settings, have fun
I have a shirt just like your dads from bench grinding. I am a mechanic at the local water department.
Man, somebody really toasted that great engine with tons of abuse! You can't save all of these Travis, too expensive!
Agreed. To much money
I'd hone out cylinder 6, clean out the rings and pop the piston back in and run it as is.
If that engine could talk to that truck. It would be saying what happened to us. We used to be so beautiful
new subscriber here , liking your vids bro! keep em coming!
Thank you means a lot
I think blown headgasket and a gumed up pump veg oil doesn't get hotternuth to burn a hole in a piston
I think there's a whole in the piston.
I'd love to have one of these old Chevy's as a project car. I could mess with it and fix any issue owth just a hammer and maybe a prybar
I’m commenting just cus he bought an engine stand 😂😂
Broken rings and/or broken piston on cyl #6.
I think that it has burned a hole in the piston
I've never seen anything blow oil put of the dipstick like that.
You might want to check with area diesel there I think it's in Utah they might want to sponsor an engine build
Did that Dodge have the 727 trans, or a 518? The reason I ask, is because 1st gen Dodges with the 727 had a Dana 60 rear axle with very rare (for a 60) 3.08 gears!! But that might only be the 3/4 ton! EDIT: Oh, you just answered me!
That little bird is a fledgling if I had to guess
Those Rings were just flat-out wore out and I think it has to do with the vegetable oil not being enough lubricant for it
Nice engine stand, not jack stand though ;)
