Thanks man, I really appreciate your videos and the info you give. I’m a beginner so I’ve had a few hiccups with my ride and got discouraged but your videos help to get back on track.
@@TheKingme06 The oil goes into the plug on the tank. I dont have wire diagrams but you can create your own diagram for switches, I did make a video on wire diagrams for the pumps and batteries, check it out on my channel.
sorry but i just saw this and really feel the need to comment. if done right, tig welds would be stronger. tig is used for strength and precision. I understand your experience may be very different. but tig welding is the highest standard for strength.
back again watching this video 2 yrs later lol. its a good one and yeah i had some troubles with the adel dump from Black Magic... was leaking as well. brand new bought directly from them. sent it back they supposedly changed all the orings stating that was the issue and sent it back, i installed it and same thing still leaking. i got tired of the back n forth and ended up selling the dump and putting the regular cce one back in... problem fixed no more leaking... go figure.
Hey Bro, the information is appreciated as always. Goin with my first project, im tryin to decide on 2 pump, 3pump, or 4 pump setup. Tryin to build a town car between lay n play with a bit of pop to it. Do you have any recommendations and good resources?
I personally like a 3 pump set up with 3 dumps. If you want more than 6 switches then I recommend a 4 pump set up, bcuz that way you will be able to get the full experience and the most out of your set up. More fun.
Yeah blocks are pretty much almost the same. Difference is some use different aluminum and on some blocks the outer port where key goes through “motor side” are lil bigger thats why some use the magnum seals.
starting my first lowrider build now and shop i went to and spoke with guy recommended cce as well... so looks like imma go with that seeing as how you recommend them as well for beginners. thanks again for this video.
helpful video bro I was thinking about picking up a pair of those 2 inch hi lockup balljoints from blackmagic for my lincoln but for the price I think that could be better spent on maintenance instead replacing all the seals and changing the oil
As far as oil leaking past the gear seals, just grind a bit of metal off the bottom of the motor case next to the block, oil will just drip down and out of the block. A plus for doing this is that you can tell when you need to change the seal long before you need to. --- Hydros ---
Ora pues Thanks for the knowledge I thought they always ran actual hydrolic fluid🤔 Learn something new i guess,is hydrolic fluid optimal or is regular oil just better or just cheaper and easier to come by?
Hydraulic oil is very slightly thicker than motor oil because they make it for floor Jack's and forklifts, non detergent hydro oil is almost equivalent to motor oil. Motor oil is 100% good to use in your set up.
Extended arms are mandatory brother I agree with low lows 1inch are dope but those 2 in tuck look you can’t beat but you definitely go through them tires if you ride a lot easy tire change at lease every 2 months or 3
I lifted my first car in Canoga about 25 years ago. and yea im sure your a-arms are extended by now, and you probably know to just extended at the same time the next time you lift a car. ps. homie did you go to VN blvd tonight?
I just bought a low rider car I’m also new to this I have a question. So when I raise the front side of the car and than is slowly drop on itself why would that happened?
You could have a bad check valve or a bad dump. I would change the check valve 1st because it's cheaper and if it still continues to do that then replace the dump(s).
I give you a thumbs up on the video homie, but the most critical piece of rider wisdom you can give to anybody who wants to learn? Is your always going to hear somebody that disagrees with something that some other lowrider insist is an absolute. so get at least 2 opinion's on something and still follow your heart and make the decision that you feel the best about. 13's vs 14's high lock up verse's laying as low as you can ect. but i came to your channel to see how that powder coat chrome looks on the motor or car and how it held up after you did it? Im still trying to go chrome suspension on my car but I want to chrome rap or chrome powder coat the drive shaft. as a way to cut some cost.
yeup they were the first china daytons that I saw hit the scene back in the day. and shotly after they started selling a grip of shit that looked like all chrome pro hopper shit.
Chains are used for 2 reasons, for 3 wheeling and for top travel for not over locking. For the wheeling the chains are gonna have to be small so you wont get a high lock up. They also tent to get cought on things even with bunty cords holding them.
@@lowlowsandmore I have 12" in the back of My regal I want the cylinders have a full travel it's a good idea to install chains and were can i put them ?
@@MXL686 if you have 12" cylinders then the chains will have to be 11-3/4" long, take in account the height of the power balls or hem joints that your using. You can install chain in 2 ways. 1 way is install them using existing holes on the car or by welding square tubing with holes drilled out for a bolt to hold the chain.
What's up fam I have a Chevy g10 van I trying to hydraulics but don't know what size cylinders or what coils to use can someone help please first project
Robb Lowe yea bro if you live in Cali you will get it the next day or two days and any questions they are there and answer them for you real humble people
Theres a few ways to tell. 1. If the car no longer sits leveled 2. If the car no longer does a tall 3 wheel or at its usual height. 3. If the car drives off to one side of the road after getting a detailed alignment done. 4. If you see any cracks or kinks in the frame. Normally around the trailing arm mounts and cross members.
Thanks man, I’m not 100 percent sure if it’s bent/twisted but thought I’d ask the question to find symptoms! I’ve gotta strip it and find out for sure!
Pdawg Loco remember U always want high voltage 1100+ is what U are lookin for but for your batteries to last U have to know how to get on and get off tha Switch

You can as long as the seals are compatible. Some food companies use vegetable oils in their hydraulic systems so if they blow a hose they dont spray their products with hydraulic oil.
THIS SOME GOOD SHIT! NOT CACA! 👍 I GOT 11 gear colossus and fat hi low block to the nose. Igets up and 9 bat and presto hi gears in back. And aw- 32. Hydraulic oil.😁 hop's nice. No secret.
All are the same except the the gear and motor. Lol. That's the main parts of it. So they aren't the same. Also flow is affected by rpm and displacement. Piston pumps are better than gear pumps.
TIG welds are stronger than MIG welds, what is this guy talking about. 10:45 , the extensions with built in extensions have less contact area, so less reinforcement in that area then the other pipe extensions.
This is the best hydraulic setup video I've seen lately! Good info and explanation man!
Thanks man, I really appreciate your videos and the info you give. I’m a beginner so I’ve had a few hiccups with my ride and got discouraged but your videos help to get back on track.

Where do you put the oil and how do you check it? Also do you have a wiring diagram for a 10 switch box with 3 pumps 4 dumps and 6 batteries?

Tig is most definitely a stronger weld.

Also whats your take on extended A-arms?
Do you recomend or are they a liability like those extender ball joints you were talking about?.
Extended arms are always safe, I recommend 1" extension for cruisers. Anything longer you will go through tires quick.
Extended arms are mandatory brother I agree with low lows 1inch are dope but those 2 in tuck look you can’t beat but you definitely go through them tires if you ride a lot easy tire change at lease every 2 months or 3

Do a video on cylinder sizes... what's best size for front of car if you want maximum hop. ✌😎
8" cylenders are. The highest for the front, only rear cylenders you can go higher

Just got a 76 caprice. What do you think are the best springs
What about chains in the back? Pro and cons
Chains are used for 2 reasons, for 3 wheeling and for top travel for not over locking.
For the wheeling the chains are gonna have to be small so you wont get a high lock up. They also tent to get cought on things even with bunty cords holding them.

Thanks for the feed back tips homie good to know i figured it would go by name brand would be better im running high hitters on my ride
What do you guys do for the steering alinement at my ride hight its good but droped or raised it totally changes the driving quality
Most pumps are all the same. I buy everyone's old used pumps and rebuild them. Work just as good as new
FYI You can get yellow 4 ton springs if they've been painted by the previous owner. FYI don't buy used springs.

Never heard of them homie
Wow you took it back they were good pumps and the guys were really cool too
What about hoppos are they good
Robb Lowe I wanna know the answer to that question too
It's all the same, it's in what type of gear, motor and how you do your plumbing. Brands dont matter, just try to stay away from BMH gears and blocks.
Hoppos are really good and their service is great good people to deal with that’s where I get my stuff from

What gear to use for a hopper
For hoppers it depends, the #1 choice is a Marzoochi #11 and then a #13 gold.
It really depends on how many batteries you are running in your setup... 6-8 batteries with a #9 gear 8-10 batteries #11-#13 gear
