Rich from a 63 year old retired airline aircraft mechanic that's worked on everything over the years, YOU ARE THE BOSS brother. What a great truck, and a a great accomplishment, stuffing that big Cat under the hood.

@PorscheRacer14 4 ай бұрын

This is the truck every guy wanted to dream of and build, but would be illogical, insanely out of reach and too damn complex, big and daunting. And yet, you've made an incredible series documenting the success, the head scratchers, the failures, and the trials to get to this. Even if no one else ever copies this, I hope they see the thought process and determination from this as a blueprint for success. Success in starting, success in keeping going and success in over coming challenges to reach a running project. You, your family, friends and crew, have a great 2024!

Don't feel too bad about the hose, Rich. I was a hose routing guy on several vehicles and we don't actually do much in the way of cycle testing calculations. We take our best guess in CAD, we build prototypes (which almost always get revised), then we shake the whole truck (like... really, really, shake it... for a long, long, time) and see what breaks. Prototypes get driven to lunch and on errands all the time exactly to find those sorts of gremlins while they're close to home. You basically did it the same way the "pros" do. We've even fixed our share on the side of the road. 😂

As handy and knowledgeable as Rich is, to hand-build a truck and have it break down several times already, is a testament to how hard it is to build a reliable diesel truck. I feel the average every-day person has no clue as to what type of engineering and expertise goes into building these things. We just bitch and call it “junk” if anything breaks, lol.

I was taught on the older rigs that you need to "milk" the power steering to press the air bubbles out while the engine is off. The idea is that fluid flowing has cavitation that prevents bubbles from being bleed out. Lift it again and cycle it back and forth 10 times lock to lock and see if the whine clears up.

Happy new year to all of the DG family. I’m excited to see the upcoming year’s projects. Big yes for highlighting the obstacles that every project has and how it’s just part of the journey. I have people in my village, all Dodge owners, that any small setback on their vehicle is trip ending and a personal failure which isn’t a happy way of life. Also the brake kleen/ hairspray method has never let me down. Thanks again for bringing us along even though I’m only here for the music.

Probably my favorite build on KZfaq ever done. The Caterpillar has to be the coolest swap I’ve seen, and very technically interesting to follow along with. Only thing I disagree with is the bumper choice, but that’s subjective. My dad had a white 97 I remember crawling up into as a young child, and claiming to “drive.” I’m happy to say I have a 97 F350 of my own now that I actually do drive. I think I’ll keep the 7.3 that’s in it though haha.

I feel you on the working out the bugs part. I did a frame swap (2wd-->4wd)/4.8LS/4l80e swap on my squarebody and there isnt much I havent had to do twice. Between 40 year old parts you thought would be ok (they werent), new parts that were bad (bad new caliper which mislead me to believe I had a bad trans as it wouldnt shift out of 1st), wire chaffing from vibration, half a dozen brake line leaks, transfer case slipping out of low (still havent figured that out even after disassembling for a second time.), and installing the front calipers upside down. Im no professional mechanic obviously but the struggle is real.

"Redhead Steering" builds a damn good gearbox but nothing beats a "Lee power steering" gearbox. At least most NASCAR teams don't think so. Owner Tom Lee built me a gearbox, with hydraulic assist, years ago. It has been on a few trucks I've owned. Tom is now retired but a long time customer took over and runs the business today. I don't mean to be stepping on any potential sponsors foot, just saying there's other options. Hope the new year brings the best for everyone.
