Jeff my Mother past away the 10th of this month, She was a Strong Soul of 90 when the Lord called her up. I'm Still grieving and it doesn't take much to get my balling like a lost Lamb. Thanks for being here. I said a Prayer for you're Friend Mike. God Speed.

This is the greatest thing of modern technology: anybody with a great idea can share it with the entire world. Awesome that you are excited to share your experiences with others to help them.

Just saw your tribute to your friend Mike. It’s a wonderful thing that one of the 10,000 or so folks here appreciate the value of touching peoples lives. I’m not going to ask advise right now, that can be done in time. Ditto, Gods Speed Sir, good night.

Jeff I so love your videos and it makes my day. You are getting to be a old guy but I am already there at 77 and you have so much knowledge that you are trying to pass on to others it is just outstanding. I was into trucks, tractor trailers and then Heavy equipment at the end of my working days. I can say the best thrill of my days there was getting into a White Freightliner and driving it. It had a v12-71 Detroit with a 13 speed Fuller transmission and that sound you never forget. 31 years I spent on the railway but the last 10 were the best of all the years working on machines loading and unloading overseas containers. Operating these big monsters mobile and gantry cranes was the highlight of my life time. I still miss it today after all these years. God Bless you Jeff and have many healthy years ahead of you.

Best video yet, Jeff. Congratulations on a successful project, and thanks for sharing it. Lotsa guys work hard, and get stuff done, but not so many share their results so the rest of us can learn. Especially liked the economics of your project, motivated by putting food on the table. Good job!!

Jeff Your the real deal. Always enjoy your videos. Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend I can tell you were genuine with your concern about him and his family. I enjoy honest people that are straightforward and I don’t suffer phonies very well. Thanks again for being the real deal

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos , I enjoy the very much.

Every time I watch one of your videos I learn a bunch!!!!!! Thanks Jeff!!!

You got a big heart Jeff!!! Appreciate the part of it you share with us!

Thanks for the tribute to your friend, I would have been bawling like a baby. Curly, Loudon, TN

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend! On another note... Great video!! I look forward to them each week!

Saying goodbye too someone you care about is never easy. God bless the Mclnerney family and god speed Mike. Jeff you are the real deal so much respect for you and appreciate all you do for all of us. 🍻cheers to all.

Prayers for Mike and his family

Rolls Royce had this all figured out on the Merlin when they came up with 2 stage superchargers. Between, they knew it was crucial to have a heat exchanger to drop the air temp as much as possible before the second supercharger, otherwise the air temp skyrockets in the second stage of compression and its almost useless.

Always love watching your vids Jeff. Excellent as usual.

Man I just discovered your channel and I love it..just subscribed...I'm a truck driver myself (flatbed) ..but I used to do rgn..love this kinda work..

Jeff, so sorry to hear about your friend Mike. You are right God Speed, and Gods peace for the family.

Looks like a fine job on the kenworth. You took on a big job even without all the fine details nailed down and hope you really get your mpg up. Sorry to hear about Mike. It's always tough to lose someone you are close to no matter how far away. Good on you to express your true feelings for all to see. Prayers for Mike's family

Another great video Mr. Paydirt. Sorry to hear about Mike. Thoughts and prayers for him and his family. Get that E store up and at em I need a calendar and hat.

Great video and info that was a very nice project and looks like it’s gonna work out very nicely for you ! Thanks for sharing Jeff looking forward to the next project 👍

another great video i learn a lot and are entertained all at the same time. i am praying for mike . have a good day

That was a textbook upgrade. Even if your MPG is only slightly improved, over time that will add up quick. Not to mention the performance boost of being able to maintain speed on a grade. Keeping your engine compartment from becoming an oven and cooking all the hoses, pipes and wires is another big plus. Oil change intervals...the list just keeps going!

Another great video, very informative I have 3406E your giving me some good information, thoughts and prayers out to Mike and family

Nothing I have run's a turbo, but that was still neat to learn about.

It is always hard to lose a friend.....especially when it is a true friend. My thoughts go out tonight to his wife, children, friend's and other loved one's. Thanks for the explanation of how the Switch Blade Turbo works. A real interesting concept. And you're right. It looks waay cooler. Always good to have a good 🔥 going when it snows. Be safe out there in the wild wild west. From "trying to keep my head above the water" West Virginia.

Hey great info. Plan on using it for some of my engines.

Jpaydirt my name is Jason Price from Greeneville Tennessee i like the video's i grow up on CATS the first dozer i ever pulled a leaver on was a 1954 D4N. I would like to thank you for sharing your knowledge and information

Wow!! Nice set of turbos there!!!!

Great video. Not sure what’s going on with that man. We pray for him and his family for sure. That’s nice to see people caring for others in this world. Vic

Thanks for sharing your great knowledge

I'm surprised you haven't put and 18speed in that truck. I hauled heavy haul with a 378 Pete, 700Hp cat 3406, 18 Speed and it worked awesome.

Catching up on these older videos. Love the conversion; complexity is the enemy of reliability and it’s undeniable the twins were complex. Very touching end to the video. Nuff said

Sorry to hear about your friend Jeff and to his family my thought's and prayers are with you it's hard at times like this so remember the good times you had. That motor does look better without the clutter Jeff and if it saves money over time that's what it's all about. stay safe. Pat. Scarborough UK.

Looking forward to seeing a Switchblade on the 1693 along with air-to-air aftercooler. God bless Mike and his family.

Thanks for the update on the turbo. Can't wait to see the e-store! Thoughts and prayers for Mike and his family and friends. Sad to hear. Is there anything we can do to help out? Thanks for the video!

Hey love the videos I'm from long island NY. Keep on trucking

Thanks for the videos. I enjoy them a lot. I'm a former Sea Bee Heavy Construction Mechanic. Steve Peterson, Moline, IL.

GOD Bless Mike and his family.

Sorry to hear you lost your friend Mike Mc Inerney. Thoughts also to his wife and family back in Australia. Lovely tribute.

Mr. A your a tough guy. A pyro (haha). And you got a heart bigger than that haul trucks dump bed! Please PLEASE never change.

glad to here the calendars and hats are in now.:-) sorry to hear about ur friend.

Another great video. My respect for you started with the veterans video and just went over the top. So sorry to hear about your fried.

In the long run it will pay for itself.Keep up the great video's

Love your videos, dont know if anyone mentioned this already but the part number you wrote on your white board first 3 set of numbers was 160 the part you showed said 180 just FYI

Thanks for the videos, sorry to hear about Mike, sounds like a great guy. Doug Richison Visalia Ca,

Another great video Jeff. Hope the new fuel mileage figures are good. It does look %&*@ing cool! Appreciate the your help and insight on my 1693 and sorry to hear about your friend.

Very informative video keep it up ...From Newfoundland 🇨🇦

Nice update on the costs. It'll be very interesting to see what the fuel mileage goes up to.Sorry about your friend Mike, that was a classic joke, he'll be remembered here a long time.

Thanks such good ausum info some people won’t get it but great job love the videos this jeff from Ann Arbor Michigan My first job was around underground but I always wanted to drive those earth movers /scrapers

I have a 2006 Peterbilt 379 with the CAT C15 Acert twin turbo. Could you give me a rundown on what I need to go to a single turbo.. I noticed you didn't use the exhaust/intake port inserts making the ports smaller which I thought came with the kit. Thank you and I really enjoy your videos. VERY HELPFUL.

Were praying for you!

Nice video Jeff; sorry to hear about your friend.

Cool looks really clean

Jeff, How about an explanation of how the actuator works on the switchblade. Does it use some of the boost pressure or drive pressure to run an air cylinder or what. Another great vidja friend! Sympathies for your friend.

Sorry to hear about your friend R I P Mike

Definitely a clever turbo! Gotta say some of the items you listed seemed really expensive, too expensive. Thanks for the video.

This would be nice for my 9g and save fuel but turning up the wick on a truck, well, I had a new truck with a 3406b and a 9 speed and got 7-1/4 mpg. Helluva spread on the 9 speed real low on the bottom and 105mph in the big hole but that will get you lots of trouble. Is the extra wick worth it?

professor Jeff, thanks for the switchblade lesson is that system patented ? always liked Dozer's & Caterpillar heavy eq. I'm in st.louis near a giant Cat dealer in Fenton Mo. ok enough of me. I'll check out the FIRE ! THANKS

We had a twin turbo truck broke the shaft on the first turbo and took the second one with it and then we just swapped it to a single

Jeff.... Love your channel and have been subbed to it ever since the first video I watched from you. When I was living in MT. I wish I had known about you then... I would have come down for a visit.. with your permission, First.. of course.Just so you're aware, as well as for the Many "out there" who wrongly call the Cat C15 (versus the C-15 with Single turbo) a "Twin Turbo" engine. The C15 is NOT "twin Turbocharged".... it Is, Compound Turbocharged... meaning that it has multiple turbo's with Different A/R ratios... in this case a Low pressure, feeding into a High pressure turbo. Twin turbo's imply exactly as it sounds... Two turbos of identical A/R ratio's.... as used on "V" configured engines. Compound turbo set-ups can be and are used on "V" engines as well... and talk about a "snake pit of pipes when set up like that on "V" engines. Anyway.... I was Not trying to be "critical" at all.... just wanted to set the Terminology straight, and the difference between the two. Triple Compound turbo's are also commonly seen on the small diesels used in diesel Drag Racing, and sometimes in some the diesel classes of Sled Pulling (talk about blowing stuff up!!) as well. PS: Is Jim Blaylock still in business... at least as far as the Switchblade Turbo is concerned?..... His website for it, doesn't "seem" very functional anymore.

Cool stuff as always. Had an Acert C15 in a '09 379EX, got 6mph pulling flatbed all over the western passes with an Eaton 9spd. Your KW was a Utah coal hauler pulling Bealls? Like Barney Trans? My opinion is 10's are trash. Thanks for you bit on the aquifer.

Sorry to hear about mike.. My prayers are with his family... My favorite Sayin is Ain’t nothing that a gallon of gas and a match won’t fix!!!! Love me some Fire!!!! Jeff what’s the pounds of boost on a 3406 C mechanical for horsepower equivalents?? Love the Vid Man!!

Marion is only 20 minutes drive from my house here in sunny south aust as i live in huntfield hights

U need to be an instructor for a diesel mechanic class , ur really good about going in-depth on certain things...! Really good video Jeff...! 😎😎😎 Tony Pickrell Lakes of the Ozarks Bolivar , Missouri

Good video I am still watching your video and comment in a while but I am watching

surprised your 10 speed is holding up pulling them loads better work on getting that changed out soon working onborrowed time

I'd be running at least 3.55 or the 3.70 rears with that 10-spd. Cat used to have a chart that showed torque curves with various popular rear ratios (3.25 through 4.11).

To me 2 years age disability I've had 8 Hart attacks 16 stance prayers go out to him.

We'll be praying for Mike here in Iowa!....was about to call the shop to see if you were ok Jeff. Was anticipating your next video and was starting to get a little worried for a bit. Sorry to hear about your friend and our friend Mike. Our prayers and thoughts to his family and you Jeff from out here in Eastern Iowa.... God needs all his great angels back eventually.... God bless

Awesome video what else can you say. Only love your channel !!!

...I like you even before the content begins...

Well I would love to take that twin turbo setup. Then get the bearings MicroBlue.com coated. Which will reduce heat, increase ramp up speed and mild pressure increases. I have added Lucas synthetic oil treatment and have seen reduced water temp (reduce fan usage), increase in pressure and INCEASED in mpg.

Flipping awesome

Great video as usual Jeff, doing all that was well worth the money and it will profit you with a great payback sooner than you think. My condolence's to Mike's family and to you as a loss of a very true friend. Hard to find and keep them anymore....

I'm having the same issue ,, 2001 379xh 475 3406E 10spd ,,, falls on its face in any upgreade...

How expensive was it to convert from twin to single ??

My calcs are showing that your C15 ACERT is putting out 680hp to 720hp with the boost figures you've given us

Oh man , sorry to hear about your buddy. 10-4 Good Buddy

Never did see the updated fuel economy

Sorry about your friend Jeff. Losing family and friends is always the hardest!

Another thing that helps is go to porcelain manifold. We singled a friend's out manifold and all he used his brother in law's turbo number off his 99 500hp since he said his is 500hp wouldn't listen to me called me 2 weeks later says don't want to hear told me so just give me the numbers off that 99 1mm 600hp your running. Truck pulls way better gets 1.5 miles to gallon more 40 degrees cooler under hood.

Great video Jeff, Life is to damn short & The horsepower is never High enough. Quite a while ago I heard about the turbo and they called it the arrow charger. that was made for Harley Davidson, the turbo compressor Wheels we're centrifical it's been awhile since I've seen in & only once.. Switch blade sounds better any way. Thanks for the Videos man !!!!!!

Is the C-15 and 3406e allowed in California?

woohoo for project completion. really wanna see that fuel mileage comparison woohoo for dirt moving woohoo for a shout out to Mike

Awesome

I love the tools box!!!!!!LOL

Jay I was just watching your video on the Blalock turbo. Are you going to put one on the new Pete or does it not need it? Also whats the model of the Cummins in the Pete? Thanks Jay

Thank you for the explanation of why you went from 2 turbos to 1 . Have you put enough miles on that truck since the conversion , to have a better idea of the MPG's ? If not , please post it when you accumulate more data . Best of luck to you , :-) Wyr God bless

I am curious why you didn't do an engine over hall when you were at it? Thanks for the explanation of the turbo very interesting

Put one on the killer DODGE. THANKS RAY FROM REDDING,CA

Man, that ten speed would have been the first thing to go if it was me! Pulling that much weight would suck with aything less than 10. I ran a mack 280 somthing hp with 5 speed pulling 80,000 took forevrr to get up to speed. But that turbo setup needed to happen too.

Jeff. Did it also clean up the exhaust note so the sound and back pressure is better?

U put it on the chassis dyno yet at kw?

Boost is only a number, its correlation to power is not a constant. Drive pressure is just as important a number in the scheme of power and ecomony. The best fuel economy occurs when you have the least boost you need to make the smoke clean up and the lowest drive pressure. If your boost is less than your drive pressure then a lot of your boost pressure is actually backed up exhaust pressure. Looking forward to seeing how the switch blade winds up performing long term. :-)

Hi Jeff, just got to say that love what you've done with the twin to single. I WANT IT! I have contacted blaylock about the switchblade, I have an 2004 c-15 acert BXS Model. My question is they told me that I would not need to do any ECM Retuning. Does that sound correct? Just trying to make sure I have all my ducks in a row before I start this project. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Jeff

A good 1693 here in Salt Lake and sitting in a cabover a guy stores here.

Brad Graves @ PCS TOWING & RECOVERY! Horse Cave, Kentucky!!!

You are a good guy.

so i guess the switchblade turbo is basically a compound turbo setup in 1 turbo. neat.
