- Gary Brown explains how turbo diesel tractor engines can be installed in pickups and how they can get up to 40 miles per gallon and run up to 100 miles per hour. These trucks can run on diesel or biodiesel. They burn diesel much more efficiently and therefore get up to triple the miles per gallon. This was done by testing and by trial and error. A good mechanic could do the same for your vehicle to help improve mileage. shadetreeconversions.com patriotsenergybill.com

This guy is pure gold! How did 9 years go buy and this is the first time watching this, now the bad part, I live in California, this will never happen.
Couldn't you put it in pre-emissions vehicle?
if you buy a diesel pickup 86 and lower no smog then you can do anything.
Yeah just showed up in my feed again, love it
@@joeoski3417 97 and lower is pre-smog
MOVE OUT WHILE YOU ARE STILL LIVING
CALIFORNIA IS GOING DOWN. I'VE BEEN
THERE ONCE TO MY BROTHERS HE WAS
IN THE NAVY. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL THEN
MOUNTAINS IN THE BACK DROP AND A
GREAT ZOO. BUT NOW IS GONE TO HELL.
He's absolutely right about the high education snobs that have to follow everything by the book, but the hard workers will figure out how to make this stuff work. I work in a small town truck shop and put a Detroit 4 53 in my pickup and my foreman has an Isuzu 6 cylinder in his. They both run great and we get better mileage than a gas engine ever would.
10 years later I AM WATCHING THS VIDEO. Thanks, guys.
My dad used to drive an '88 square body GMC 2500 with a 3+3 cab and an 8 foot box, it would get over 30mpg and pull a house down. Perkins 6.354. Right now I'm looking to do a similar conversion to a 67-72 F250 4x4. Just gotta find the truck first, then find a T6.354 lol
Good on this man in doing his part to make America what America used to be!!! Bless You, and Yours
Its crazy we don't even get many diesel options over here, when in other countries most vehicles are available with a diesel. Good Work!
i have a cummins 4bt in my 1977 chevy scottsdale, with a chevy 4 speed behind a 2 speed splitter and a np205 case. it has 307 gears and i get 33mpg city and up to 45mpg hyw
tyrell little excellent choice is it turboed?
4BT 4 Cylinder, B series, T Turbo charged
what brand and model of 2 speed splitter? what transmission you using with it?
@@MrScottJ87 likely a Muncie 4 speed (rock crusher) with a granny first gear... find them in 3/4 and 1 ton Chevy's and more … as for the splitter when the term splitter is used it usually refers to a 2 speed rear axle unit (not a double trans set-up) very reliable Eaton versions stand the tests of time provided the driver knows how to use it. These are found in many commercial and farm use trucks, long beds, dump trucks and give the option for 2 final drive ratios inside the axles gear set which allows a user to split each gear in the trans by switching the rear axle gear set many options how to drive such a beast but usually not needed until the vehicle is loaded to the gills. They aren't brand/manufaturer specific such units can be found in ford, chevy, international and many other trucks.. If your looking for a good trans for such a build there are some nice Spicer transmissions out there from back in the day that are 5 speeds with actual over-drives (.75 and .64/.67 5th gear) unlike the Muncie 4 (1:1 4th gear) best place to find one of these units is a bus/school bus certain model numbers have great gear sets and as mentioned real over-drive. Yes, the OP did word it in a way to cause confusion or he himself is confused as to what in behind what when he listed the specs.
@@masterdebater8757 the way it is worded i take he put an auxiliary 2spd gear box or overdrive unit (which sometimes i hear people refer to as splitters) behind a chevy 4spd and a np205 transfer case, he just worded it wrong. if it was a 2 speed rear axle im not sure why he would just say 3.07 gears.??? www.summitracing.com/parts/add-760001m-27?seid=srese1&cm_mmc=pla-google-_-shopping-_-srese1-_-advance-adapters&gclid=Cj0KCQiA4aXiBRCRARIsAMBZGz__D9es1qGO7-ntvUQi5TnCl1Jmhg-iPVKoEwzTSQ_dgz_5rsi0JIYaAkyZEALw_wcB ://www.gearvendors.com/hrgm4sm.html
You sir are a genius, hats off to you god bless American ingenuity I will surely purchase one of your trucks when I get the funds.
Good Job Gary, bout time someone has the guts to stand up and call it like it is. Now, I would like to see you put a HHO cell on them and see what you get for mileage! That'd be cool! Best of luck to ya...
I Love that tractor sound. I was raised on a farm. Thanks
i ordered the book and it was more like a novel then a how to
Fuck the emissions junk, old diesels reign supreme.
This guy should be an auctioneer on the weekends, what a motor mouth!
Cool idea though, I've wanted to do this to my truck for a while to make it a good bugout rig
I want one of his trucks right now 🇺🇸🐺🇺🇸
In Brazil they do a very similar conversion but they use a very simple Perkins sir cool engine.
sounds like boomhauer on king of the hill ...
that's what I thought, I can barely understand whatever he is saying.
Cummins 4BT...best bang for your money imo...
Yeah probably about 10 years ago when you could find them for a $1000 or less in decent shape. Too many people on eBay want well over $2000 for just the engine. There are some great options for diesel swaps, Kubota V2203 IDI and DI for anything in the Ford Ranger size. Yanmar 4TNE86 2.1L...has a IP similar to the Bosch Ppump on the 4BT. 1.9L ALH TDI. Small CAT engines which are sold and made by Perkins.
agreed...still can find some if u get lucky...but I commend the conversions tho....awesome idea!!! When the 6bt in my ram gives it up, would love a CAT conversion in her!!!
I'd shy away from a CAT especially the 3116. Its a bit iffy plus with a 30qt oil pan...more than double the Cummins.
You aren't wrong but they are really heavy and hard to put in smaller trucks. The 4bt is way better than anything else but in a full size truck or bigger. Price is 3k now for one.
4 years ago when I looked into doing a 4bt swap they were $1200 with a transmission, Gm or Ford. Now $3000-4000 is way too much. Might as well get a VW TDI to swap into a ranger or S10. Kubota 2203 IDI/DI are an up and coming engine for swappers but those have shot up in price the last 2 years. Really isn't much out there that's decent for swapping. Even Deutz engines are hard to get ahold of.
i had this idea and you made it excellent... good job. i think this will help a lot.. :) cheers from Ukraine :)
i like the note of those tractor diesels
Very nice
really cool --old school
Jeezus Chrisis that injector knock...
I think a John Deere
4045HFC04 4.5 L Industrial engine producing 85 to 140 horsepower is a great one to get for all compact cars, including for Chevy Cavaliers as those options.
@MrTpengineer You missed what I said, when designing the engine, one blew up, was not because of peanut oil, was compression, read the history, this is the man who made the engine. I mentioned it to prove the power, I'll say again, in Rudolf Diesel's time there was no petroleum for it and he didn't want an engine confined to the oil industry!
Best video ever on you tube hell that's what I want to do to an old jeep....
GOD BLESS YOU FOR KNOWLEDGE, I WILL TAKE THOSE PORKY PINE EGGS OFF YOUR HANDS THO LOL, I NEED SOME HELP PUTING 65 HORSE DIESEL IN MY 93 FORD!🤠
Ford should’ve done this from factory, but yeah. The feds got involved well the EPA did & you can’t but a truck that gets that mpg. I get 16-20 on my 93 idi. The manufacturers don’t understand that big equipment doesn’t have to get terrible economy.
diesels are more efficient mostly because of direct cylinder injection and a more complete burn of the fuel. hence why these newer direct injection gas engine are becoming so efficient!
Not quite. Diesels are more efficient because the cylinder is always full of air. They don't burn the fuel as well as gas engines which results in high particulate emissions. In "normal" gas engines (carburetor, throttle body injection and port injection) the fuel has plenty of time to mix with air which results in more thorough combustion. In diesel and gasoline direct injection engines the fuel is burnt almost immediately before mixing thoroughly with air. This however enables the use of ultra lean mixture in gas engines which makes them more efficient.
truthfully the bottom line is its verry simple there is more potential energy (btu) stored in a gallon of diesel than there is in a gallon of gasoline...which equals more efficiency.
Efficiency has nothing to do with energy density of the fuel.
actually it does...
Efficinecy is ratio of energy put into the machine and energy that comes out of it. It has nothing to do with the actual volume of the fuel used.
I like to know where you got your 12 volt vacuum pump for you brake system
They do thing like this in Ecuador, you ask about doing something like this and no one can do this kind of conversion
the ULSD road vehicle diesel fuel is further refined to get most of the sulfur out, that is why fuel has gotten so expensive. (taxes per gal at retail similar to gasoline) the emissions are a complete different issue, esp from midwest/farm/rural areas compared to big city/california etc. many folks need an xtra way to town. some years back i did a perkins 6cyl from a forklift +clark 5spd into 69 D200, really too heavy, but simpler than the 6.9/7.3Frd an more life than 6.2/6.5Chv less $ if used.
where can i buy the book? i have been wanting to do this for a long time now
@MrTpengineer Electric is from the late 1800's, they were known as the woman's car, hand crank starts were not only difficult but hazardous at the time, they could hop in and go shopping. Gas didn't kill the electric car, it's not reasonable on a large scale, they require charging, the power grid even today could not sustain a large load of electric cars, solar nor wind could ever meet demand and require too much area cleared for use, cutting trees ain't an answer!
That air filter placement could use adjustment, it's just taking in every bit of the engine heat.
It's a diesel engine, hot intake air helps compression ignition in a small application like this
Hi how to fix the gearbox? We can fit any gearbox to tractor engine? Sorry I’m new about this
@novachevyguy This guy is full genius.
That combover 🤫🤣
do these pull hard though?
I didn't catch it, how many cylinders?
Have you done a conversion using a Case 188 cid.
@halopersin Centrifugal blower/super charger
live in a state where you don't have to do that. i have a friend who has two pipes running back from the headers off of a 77 scottdale with a corvette motor. sounds nice. he got pulled over for a brake line hanging down. nothing about the exhaust. here in iowa they are very lenient on that.
Where are y'all located?
@tomibby - can't import a Polo Bluemotion into USA. Not legal here
I have a good running 4 cl ford industrial diesel engine from a NH 905 swather it's very easy on fuel . I have 1/2 to 1 tons years 1950 to 1980 would that engine work for a truck ? Our great town mechanic was helping someone that was broke down and was accidentally killed such a sad loss RIP BIG E
Put a gaa v8 Ford in it
Hello I saw your video and it motivates me to do it. Could I do this to a 2004 ford explorer? What will be the changes I will have to on the SUV? Thank you
Look into the VW turbo diesel, the 16 valve 2.0 . Much quieter, better power, better power to wieght ratio. I've seen them adapted into Jeep's/ rockcrawlers.
The only issue I have with this conversion is the noise. This can be minimized with sound deadening. We always called our Rollback the waga-waga truck. That's what it sounds like at idle.
Use a catalytic converter on it from a pick and pull
was it a super charger or turbo charger
At 4:01, that is the same engine used thruout Argentina in Ford, Chevy & Dodge pickups, the owners swapped out the factory gas engines long ago for this Perkins. My brother-in-law had one in his 84 Ford F100, short-box. All is fine until you "run out of power".....one day he drove down into a dirt pit, fairly steep.....& couldn't get out! The poor thing just didn't have enough power, a gearbox with more gears MIGHT have helped, but I doubt it. If you've ever seen a pickup truly plain run out of power, it is quite the pathetic sight.
I wouldn't do this unless the truck was 4wd and had a 2 speed transfer case, but in most cases, reverse is the lowest gear and he could have probably (if able to get traction) backed the truck out of that situation.
@roaddiablo since i put the comment i have found out all the differences
Cover it in a solar panel wrap.
@novachevyguy ...says the Hybrid lover.
Hey, what do you think the MPGs would be like if you put one of these engine in a 30' class A motorhome?
A 4- cyl is too small for that. That 30' motorhome needs more power/ torque..get an international/Ford 7.3, or a Cummins 5.9 12 -V.
@crustycya...and why is diesel so expensive??? It's cheaper to make, and used to be cheaper to buy.
Bought their book, wish it was a little more informative
hi,how are you doing? i want to put a tractor diesel engine in my S10 because i want to use french fried oil. Can you advise me,what kind o of engine i could use? I appreciate.Thank you very much
Greetings! I would recommend a 65 HP Kubota or Yanmar, 4 cylinder, turbo diesel engine, because Japanese engines are lightweight and dependable and are perfect for trucks.
@@ReconditionedTractors cool! thank you very much for the info!
what about a vw?
If you car is 96' or new...When it comes to smog you will have to put the motor back or they will not smog you anymore..
You can still have it as a offroad..
Not true i live in miami we have no emissions laws
Only where you live, buddy
@st0mbl--That's sort of the point of this video. From the comment about converting units, I assume you live elsewhere than the US. My relatives in UK get the same mileage you do from diesel engines, do not pay as much more for diesel, and do not have to resort to weird dodges to do so.
love it!!!!! Can i buy one from you?
So let's say I want a kubota diesel with turbo or supercharger with 5 speed in my 95 2wd f150, how much will it cost me??
Guessing: 5000-6500+ for a new turbo diesel in the 100-125 HP range, then another 3500-4500 to install the conversion motor.
You'd have to wrench a lot of it yourself, and then put on a lot of miles to break even before the vehicle wears out.
I have a 73 Econoline, I bought it for the engine location, can be accessed, I would love to get a diesel put in it. I know a guy who graduated from a tech college, designing and working on diesels for Europe, America is restricted. The EPA here is why diesel vehicles are killed, they demand a zero emission version for 2014, something impossible for gas engines, not a requirement either!
Put a 7.3 in it. Tows trailers like a champ, decent Mpgs..
@@aaronhumphrey2009 Nothing larger than a 302 will fit.
Free Penny,
Is this the first person to put a well built diesel engine in to a pick up truck no people have been doing it for years how loud are these trucks he was at the other end of the car park and it was still loud
Please hire me!🙏
I wonder if anyone makes adapters to slam a 3 cylinder tractor engine in front of the Mazada transmission? Lord knows I'd buy another truck just to do it.
Mazda is ford. Likely
I’ve seen tdi swaps into rangers
I wanna buy a truck like that how much?
how to you get it to pass emisions?
By using older,pre- emissions vehicles to modify. Or calling it a ' collector or hobby vehicle'. Whatever's kosher in your State
Diesel fuel is now $4.10 a gallon.. not much of a bargain unless you run this thing 24 hrs for a a month straight!
Should have subtitles.
Are you referring to his southern accent, or do you have a specific argument to make. I notice that people who don't use their real names often make these kinds of blanket statements with nothing to back them up.
Sounding like a wood chipper
What? I cannot hear you over the loud diesel.
Love the conversions, but let's tell the truth about gas prices. Gas has not gone up, the value of the dollar has gone down. In 1970, a silver dollar would buy about 4 gallons of gas. Today, a silver dollar will buy about 10 gallons of gas. The government is the problem, but it is the funny money we are forced to use that makes most folks think businesses are raising properties. This is economics 101 - basic stuff. If you don't see the real problem, you can't fix it.
Good idea. But if the vacuum pump goes out your outa brakes? Hope you have good life insurance?
CesarConH you're not outta brakes, you just have to push harder, like when your inferior gasoline engine stalls

yes... , although , being that i made this comment a year ago , i question your motives here..
@CowboyPenner But after a long drive your ears would be ringing.
I’d hear this truck before I see it coming down the road 😂

As loud as a 737, gutless like a Toyota Prius. I need power in a Pickup to haul and tow a lot, this is useless
I dont like that he just put down every mechanic that went to college to become a mechanic.
suck it up buttercup. he is referring to mechanics that cant diagnose without a computer telling them what to do
Take a vehicle to a shop and try to get something basic diagnosed. Youll start putting them down yourself. Bunch of idiots.
Also i finished top of my class im trade school for heavy equipment.
Only thing I don't like is the tractor diesels are noisier than heck.
@BlakMayo44 ROFL
damn, it's so hard to understand his fast talk
fuck it, the I6 or 302, 351 V8 made better power. A truck is ment to work. i would never downsize for economy when the gas engine does a better job. I own a VW passat that was available with a turbo 4, I have the 30v V6, it pulls harder and has more usable power than the turbo I4 1.8. You dont even need throttle when the clutch comes out, it will move at idle. the v6 has power everywhere from idle to 7000rpm. Not to mention, it gets over 30mpg highway in a 3400lb car
Sounds like a way to dump good money in to junk.
That's a pretty dumb way to look at it. There's lots of good, solid truck chassis out there with tired or wore out gas powerplants. Dropping a solid small diesel in one will probably give you almost as much lifetime as a new $50k truck for $40k+ less $$, and save you another $1k++/year in fuel while it does it, along with lower insurance rates. And if that diesel craps out several years down the road, you can rebuild it or buy another for a small fraction of what a replacement motor will set you back in one if today's wonder trucks. Based on all the idiosyncrasies associated with modern hi-tech powerplants, I wouldn't be shocked if this lo-tech diesel/dumb transmission swap proved to be more reliable than a new truck over the next 10 years, too.
Americans finally having to do something e have been doing since the 70`s ...pay high prices fo gas, get ove it
I'm not against what you are doing, but how do you get around the EPA regulations? You need subtitles for the deep southern accent and lack of a good microphone. If it wasn't for the strict emissions regs in Mn I'd put a small diesel in my 93 F150 instead of driving a smaller less safe Ranger. By the way there is at least 150-200 years of "known" oil reserves in Alaska and the US govt classified that in 1973 and made them cap the well. We wouldn't have a huge deficit if we used the oil we have.
@WV Gunslingers we're now the biggest oil producer in the world. Why the hell should we continue to make Saudi Arabia rich and defend them when they pay us nothing for their Defense. I'd rather that we continue to drill more oil and natural gas here at home and stay the hell out of the middle east.
@@stevenwolfe9085 Because it is more secure, in the long run, to leave ours in reserve. If we ever became involved in a really serious beef with Russia or China, 10 or 50 or 100 years from now, depending on oil from overseas could become a real Achilles Heel. If someone's natural resources have to be depleted, let's make it someone else's. That's the long view. I'm not necessarily saying I agree that's the best strategy, but that is a legitimate rationale.
Dirty politics indeed!
Lots of effort for 50mpg, import a vw polo bluemotion from Europe, 70mpg
The sound is terrible!
Well its easy to get mpg when you dont make any power lol
You truly don't understand the diesel engine
@George Cass it's a joke, not a dick so don't take it so hard especially from 2 years ago.

Can't buy one in the US at all. For whatever reason it cannot and they will not import them for EPA emissions.
