Cat fight under the Cummins! Great stuff rich.

I like how this guy explains what he does, so i subbed

This is absolutely packed with information! Thank you for putting these videos together! You certainly know what you are about, and your videos are very well constructed, as are your actual builds. No backyard hack jobs here! This has to be my all time favorite gearhead channel, and I'll certainly be coming back with questions. I'm intending to build a truck later this year, either a Cummins into a Chevy or a TDi into a Toyota. We'll see how it goes down. Thanks again! I'll be watching closely.

A dry sleeve is a thin replacable sleeve that fits inside the block bores. No antifreeze touches it.. Very tight fit, no o-rings required . Most Perkins diesels use that system. . Old Ford 8n tractors as well.

Those yellow cats were duking it out!

Dammit..I wish I lived close to you...I would work for free just to learn what you know and how to do it right the 1st time...!!!!

great video. I live in florida and I cant begin to imagine what below 0 temperatures are like.

I 💯 percent feel your enjoyment on the 3/8” socket on the idler pulley. I have an old 300ci Ford, all the $30 aftermarket idlers don’t have it only the $130 OE Ford does. Money well spent! Thanks the video.

I had a 12v, it was a good cold starting Eng. Mine had sat 2 weeks -20c and lower. Fired up with little throttle in about 4 revolutions not plugged in. Batteries were only year old. Guy I worked with was mad as hell his 24v didn't start that day and he drove it night before.

Great video, even not knowing much about these engines coming into it I was able to understand what you were talking about.

Just found your channel and have to say that I'm very impressed. You really seem to know your stuff and have tons of info to offer. I've been kicking around the idea of putting a 4bt in a Chevy k1500. I will finish watching this series to see what it take to pull off. It doesn't seem like it would be super difficult once I know what I need for parts.

Thanks for the schooling brother, I feel like I'm back in Ohio Diesel Tech. again, of course back then We were all bust putting 4-53 Detroit's in our pickup trucks and working on that " state of the art, POS " Oldsmobile / GM 5.7 L conversion whatever diesel. LOL!!!

Now i know why everybody loves these cummins engines

Well waiting for parts after my oil cooler split a seam on the road I was researching putting the larger cooler in iirc options are 9, 7, and 5 plates otherwise identical. The 6bt came with the largest early on . But over cooling the oil lead to deposits in the cooler , witch lead to blowen up coolers , they see unregulated oil pressure. Cummins solution to this was reduce the oil Cooling now the 6bt has the medium and the 4bt has the small. Flow is oil pump, cooler, overpressure valve, pluged filter (iirc 15psi) pressure differential valve PDV high side , oil filter (non-bypass) ,PDV low side, into first oil gallery in the block. The reason for this setup is the water warms faster so pull heat from the water to warm/thin the oil. Before the filterif the oil is still too thick it triggers the bypass preventing oil starvation on those bone chilling mornings. Can't get an answer out of oil filter technicians as to what temperature versus viscosity this pressure differential will occur in a Cummins, Fram , wix , or napa filter... lost 2.5 ga oil in 150mi. Found the problem and opened the rad cap limped to town 12 mi to us 50 the loneliest Highway in America Great job explaining the what's and why fors.

PLEASE tell me you didn't put a Fram oil filter on that............

Call me silly, but whenever i watch your videos i listen to the intro twice! i live that little intro song!

Lmao the cats are boxing🥊 nice vid

There is a intake cover available for the 4BT with the four bolt hole where you can put the grid heater on

Diesel dictionary of great information

Yeah they may go into your water jackets but what they actually are is casting plugs where they had sand casting when they made your block

I just wanted to say thank you for this video. Very informative and presented in a way I easily understood. Again much appreciated.

you need a good ground altenator a cable to the batery.less resistens ,less cavitation.i had the problem with the C27 cat .made several ground cables and solved the problem.groetjes sjaak uit rio

DEBOSS ROLL THE TOP DOWN BABY!!!! LOVE IT!!

I want to put a 4bt in a 4-door S10 do a custom 72" bed dually conversion. I want a scaled-down miniature dually with a in-bed hitch as a towing rig for a Civic. Scaled-down semi wheels and everything. Make sure all the proportions are perfect. I don't know how well it would work Towing. But that's one of my dream trucks. I've seen a couple dually S10 that just didn't look right with full size truck flares and the proportions were way out of whack.

Lmao we added some Mexican chrome as a Mexican I find that hilarious...i fucking hate chrome

Exciting build. Waiting on part 2

Cat fight at 4:09 killed me

Just turned the factory 4bt exhaust manifold upside down put turbo on top

very professional. You cover everything.

Wow, I learned a thing or two there mate, great vid

Holy cow! Great video, well done. I have 3 diesel engines, and I sure learned a lot.

You're very experienced! Learn so much from your videos thank you for going into detail its very helpful!

Thanks for the very valuable information. I didn’t know about the oil cooler being a possible problem for oil and coolant leaks. I would love to swap in a 4BT into our ‘63 Gmc carry all.

Last person I expected to use fram filters

sand casting plugs for removing sand from casting head blocks etc i think an old timer said to me

The Mexican red paint looks good with the Mexican chrome turbo...

Actually the freeze plugs are to keep the block from cracking if the water in it freezes. The ice will push out the plugs instead of cracking the cast iron.

The only time you should replace the coolant filter is when you do a strip test and the nalcool is low ( providing you use a preloaded filter) the filter should last minimum two years.... remember you need to put manufacturer recommended coolant in truck. Not Ford's but Cummins. Will save you a head gasket in the long run.

Man, you're awesome!! Wish I was your neighbor! I weld aluminum too -lol

they made a marine version thats 4.5 liter 4 valve per cyl have one in a boat rated at 230 hp verses 150 for two valve its like the six thats a higher output at 6.7 liter

Would you be up for putting a 24v 5.9/Allison/14 Bolt in a 99' Tahoe with 6 in lift and 35's?

Isn't the coating a flux?

nice man the music at 11:04 hehehehe man i need to come see ya at the shop bring some hortons and shit

The 69 dislikes are people you lost while explaining 😂🤦🏼‍♂️ I love how I didn't know I was going to learn so much about diesel engines. Thanks you for not explaining things like you are talking to idiots. I think they call it Mansplaining

Appreciate you putting content

I've always been told when you're brazing you don't want to melt the brazing rod with the flame you want to heat up the material that you're brazing hot enough to melt the brazing rod otherwise you're going to be getting a shitty braze.

Wow i been thinking of doin this to my 2014 tahoe but haven't seen any thing on ytube

Okay I'm half Canadian.. ... Dad was an Novi............. I'm a mechanic to over 50 years....... I've been trying to understand you.....

Actually, a coolant filter does filter the coolant. Yes, you're correct in that it reduces cavitation and erosion on the liners but any decent mechanic will tell you that changing the coolant more often will do the same. Also, you mentioned that the turbo manifold and alternator was from the 5.3 at 5:32-5:47... did you mean the 5.9 Cummins or the 5.3 LS engine that was in the Tahoe originally? 🤔

Question. How does using a coolant filter add a film to the inside of the water jacket? It seems like the only thing the filter would do is filter out impurities.

Move to min 6.08 the Mexican chrome. Really funny it make my day 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠

Why installing a four cylinder Cummins instead a six 5.7 on the Tahoe

I tire from trying to explain that what people refer to as 'freeze' plugs is part of the casting process, the sand formed water jackets, it requires a way to remove it.

Love the videos! Especially the kitties if you could could you try a c4.4 in a 98 k1500 z71??

When the music kicks in at 7:00- pure engine pornography... 'yah,baby, you looking so good !' Hilarious, with lots of useful tips well explained.

hey nice series you have here and i started diggin on doing a convertion myself of an 05 trailblazer to 6bt cummins the main issue i have right now would be that the 4l60e would not withstand the torque so, what would you recommend here? getting a new tranny or finding a way with the original?

Would you be interested in doing a 4bt swap into a Cherokee?

thinking of 4bt swapping my 03 s15

Mexican Chrome. I love to use it. Lmao I love your channel bro. Do you go changing shit. A man that loves animals is a good person. Your a good man. Common sense. 👍👍👍👍

I want you to do that too my 94 suburban. 6.5. Is problematic motor

Love your videos man thanks for sharing subscribed.

How do you source your engines, specifically the is 4bt engine?

How is the " paint everything with a rattle can and no masking" cool with diesel stuff but is shunned on gas engines?

I was feeling down cause my 2012 Silverado ltz flex fuel is having the common lifter problem, I think I am going to get a shop to do a engine swap for me, cause i dont want to part with it

Awesome to hear how to spool turbo faster w/Mexican chrome. 🤣😂🤣😂

thanks for video man you must be a good guy i saw yellow striped cats :] .oh look up muggy weld for cool welding rods n such

So pretty much all stock engine just with a tuned up pump and a 5.9 turbo?

A 5.9 litre Cummins Diesel in a Chevy Tahoe? Why not? As long as it fits inside the engine bay, and the gearbox can withstand the power and torque.

How much is the conversion cost . and what kind of trans is good to run in it . id like to keep a 5 speed in my truck .

you gave some good tips, i have a 4B and a tahoe. need to turbo the engine, how is the performance?

So on one of your videos I just watched iv Ben thinking of putting a 4bt cumming in my 02 ford Expedition that's lifted but where I live I can't really find any 4bt motors so what esle would be a good 4cycl motor that's a diesel would work in it?

What did you get for fuel economy, and what were you running for differential gears? Stock?

How did you make it street legal?

you call it a pre heater ?? that is what i wonder if they can put something like that in a 1987 ford 6.9 idi

Hi, could you create a playlist for this series? KZfaq isnt presenting the following parts like part 2 i.e. on the right side.

When will you try to do an isuzu 4bd1t swap?

any particular reason you went with the block mounted lift pump? i have a 24v so i dont like those.

Wow, awesome job!!!!!

that heater on your intake // can they get something like that for a 1987 6.9 idi ???

I have a 4bt in my wood chipper

Can I put a 6bt in a nissan navara???? Or do I use this 4bt

Could you compare this motor in general to the Duramax 2.8l? I want to know the performance between them I have a old ford ranger and I want to keep it and put a 4BT in it but I want to know if it would be better to buy a new Colorado or canyon with a duramax (I’m a Ford and Dodge fan it’s just curious)

VERY INFORMATIVE! Thanks!!

Deboss, I'm currently doing an engine swap in a 04 Tahoe. I will not be using the old ecm. How do I keep my body control module/ inside electronics working without the ecm?

I want this so bad for my 99 suburban

Kdp.....killer dowel pin..

Ok ,I have a 6At turbo Cummings that I would like to make some positive mods on. Do you have any ideas that can help me?? Thanks , for your help.

I would love to swap out my VM motori in my Jeep JK for a Cumins 4bt... Maybe one day

Do you think a 4BT would be enough power for an E350? Would it fit in a van?

Good vid. informative. What trans and adapter are you using?

What are your thoughts on the isb170? The common rail 4bt? Any experience?

Ihave a 2008 colorado w ith a 5 line gas can i make 4bt swap and whattype of transmicion 4x4 for that engine ?

Digging the project. I've been interested in the 4BT for a few years now and thinking of swapping one in place of my vortec 350 in my 1996 silverado...not sure if the stock 4L60E will hold up or not though

How does that 04 chevy tahoe odb2 plug in to get inspected to pass inspection?

Man you are good

I've considered the 4bt for my 95 F150 but I've heard they vibrate. How bad is it at idle?

I remember this

Now how come it's a American motor with a English Holset turbo?.

Rich! I'd like to do a similar swap with my 1999 Yukonn (old body style). What exactly did you have to do to modify the a/c bracket to work with the GM compressor? Also, how did you adapt the original alternator?
