    Hey Matt, that 3126 is a HEUI. Meaning it's a really similar fuel system to your 6.0powerstroke, in that the injectors run on oil pressure. You may have a fuel issue, but most of the time it is a High Pressure oil issue. Sometimes the HPOP is making pressure, but the ICP sensor wont read the minimum needed to fire the injectors. Fill or prime the fuel system until the handle is hard on primer. Try unplugging the ICP sensor and starting the truck on brake clean or starting fluid. Also make sure there is plenty of oil in the engine. While it's running off starting fluid have someone watch for tachometer and oil pressure. If you don't have tach, it could be ecm power or crank/ cam sensor issue. If you still arent getting and injectors clicking, sometimes the power wires to the ECM get a bit corroded and need repaired or replaced. Wish we were right there, we could put the computer on it and get an idea of exactly what's going on really quick. Good Luck!

      Commented before I saw this. But I'll bet you are righter than I. Would priming the fuel lines at the injectors be helpful. Or is that not necessary on a HEUI?

    • @horakrepair2546
      @horakrepair2546 ปีที่แล้ว +49

      @@othfarmin7959 No real way to prime at each injector, because it only has a fuel rail(passage) in the head. Fuel just flows through the head with a regulator/orfice at end of head or return line making sure there's base fuel pressure. So it pretty much self bleeds as long as you have a good transfer pump or primer.

      Well, there was stuff i didn't originally think about when writing my comment lol, cam and crank sensors i forgot, simplist crank no start cause side from a fuse, but then again if he can get it to start with starter fluid wouldnt those be good ? I mean isn't the ecm trying to start it ?

      Would definitely be cool for “training “purposes, although with the current burn ban and very stringent EPA rules(at least in my state) it would be a challenge. It’s doable, just have to remove all Asphault shingles, carpet,vinyl siding and things of that nature if it’s present. I’ve taken part in quite a few controlled structure burns and it’s definitely beneficial to young firefighters and the landowner in many ways.

      @emmanewman7301 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Matt has mentioned something about tent campers in other videos, I'm guessing they'll have to prep an area for it with like water and power hookups first and have the ground be some sort of soil for tent pegs, I don't fancy trying to tie my tent into that stone.
      It'll probably come when the RV hookups are sorted out because they'll need power too and I imagine the two wouldn't be far from each other

    Matt, just a word of advice Id wait to pave until you are completely done with equipment in the area, those tracks can tear that asphalt up, and at prices of $300 per ton, per layer (youd probably atleast put down base and intermediate course.) Also, make sure the company you hire has someone ensuring density! You want a minimum of 95%!

  • @Crazt
    @Crazt ปีที่แล้ว +416

    Some community fire departments let you donate properties for emergency services and arson investigation training. Basically, call up the chief and tell them you want to them to destroy a property, they send someone in to set the fire, a team goes through rescue operations, and the training investigator has to determine how the blaze was set.

    Matt please be careful when cleaning the debris of the terrace on the north side of the main house please. It took me almost 2 month's to completely build it. I personally built and set all the forms, hand dug all the perimeter & interior beams set and tied all the rebar poured all the concrete struck off all the concrete and stripped the forms. Dug up the rock that was used for the walls and that separates the 2 levels. That whole terrace was 1 big concrete pour I even poured those 6 steps going down towards the overlook at the same time. So I beg you please be careful that would kill me if something would happen to that terrace.

      Wow Mark, so glad you found this TH-cam to give such great insight and advice! You can tell so much hard work was put into so much of the buildings on this property. There is no way you can replace the quality in the materials today when rebuilding. I hated to see the 8 room building come down but he must have a good plan for something better. You, as a building contractor at the Ranch, in some aspects it must be difficult to see all this but on the other hand, it has to be gratifying to see it being rebuilt after a fire and closure. Life sure has its changes.

    Just a thought: It might be worthwhile taking inventory of each tear-down building's fittings to do architectural salvage of some components like electrical fittings, door-knobs, lighting fixtures, wiring etc. Not only will the salvage help recoup some of the sunk cost via scrap recycling but reusing some components in any new construction will definitely help keep costs down when planning and budgeting for new structures as well as retain some of the history of the previous venue.

    I got to see a total eclipse in middle Tennessee a couple of years ago, and it was EPIC!!! My wife made a huge day of it, we had a picnic at the park, got special glasses from the local optometrist, and I will never forget it... so worth seeing if you never have or seeing again!!! We attached the glasses to paper plates for the little ones to make sure they were protected. It was amazing!

    Besides crushing the rocks, old concrete and cement block for base rock for your roads, you could make berms for your shooting ranges. No cost of hauling it off and crushing it on-site is way cheaper than buying base rock for the roads! I can't wait for the next video to come out on any of your channels. Keep up the great work!

    I really want Matt to save the old burned down building's ruins and turn it into an outdoor restaurant. If I were him, I would hire an architect make a detailed drawing of the Ruins currently, demolish the ruins, salvage and clean all the stones. Then have an engineer and the architect redesign the ruins so that they will be stable and safe. Pour in a new slab, and rebuild the ruins with working fireplaces.

    You should set up some sort of early signup for the Eclipse. Sort of early access, for a limited few with special bonus, and if for some reason the ranch isn't ready they get priority treatment for when it does. Kickstart the ranch essentially, help to offset some of the cost of renovation.

    Biggest issue with burning the stuff is from the EPA due to the shingles and other asphalt and petroleum products.

    Properly rehabbing the disc golf course (with 4 basket locations per tee) could be a boon for you. It could lead to hosting a tourney, even.
    I volunteered for over 1000 hours at the GG Park disc golf course a while back. Creating and maintaining something beautiful can generate a global draw.
    Offer good scaled challenges, something unique and of beauty. Dg community is huge and dedicated.
    Good luck.

    If you’re going to demo any other buildings, contact fire departments in your area- in many cases, you can “donate” a structure to the FD who will burn it down for training purposes (they’ll put it out and relight it several times along the way, but in the end there won’t be much left).
