Diesel electric hybrid makes so much sense.... Completly changes the gearing so you you only need 20 gears vs 27+. You wont burn fuel in stop and go traffic. You get trq braking fro the ev and diesel. Lower noise in residential.. this would be amazing.

When Gm decided to stick with the pushrod design, Ford said that was a foolish decision. Fast forward to today and now they're making pushrod engines again. Simplicity means more reliability. But that Coyote does look good under the hood of an ol school Ford or Mercury classic.

Im sure you can find the 5.9 magnum a new home they have a nice flowing cylinder heads hyper technique pistons stout crank and rods and its roller cam engine the only thing that kept them down on power was a 9.1 compression and a taxi cab cam profile there great hod rod fodder and a 120 thousand miles is nothing to them.

That would go grate with the Australian Ford Boss 5.4 quad cam 4 valve heads on it !

I "USED TO BE'' a big fan of this channel

Was there not an american company?

I had the exact same steering knob on my garbage truck steering wheel! 😂

Really bad job rebuilding that cat motor lazy cheap dirty work.

I remember pug from back in the davidsfarm days, this is exactly the type of project id expect him to show up with 😂

Friggin rights, good to see ole pug1. He looks good

Have a few ideas about the EV package upgrade but don't know how to contact you. To it's K.I.S.S. IDEA

I for one really appreciate this video for it's honesty and information. Wasn't ever looking to do this until I saw this...😆. Thank you for the video

The OG dj’s

I love Chris’ channel, been watching him for MANY years. Cool to see him featured here! Scores!

Sucks that every time people do videos like these, the prices on the items they are reviewing skyrockets. So, technically, it makes the videos pointless because the item is no longer "cheap."

That’s a nice van. Sounds great and as mentioned maybe just needs a better ratio on the rear end. Dumped this video earlier and went to Puglife’s channel. He’s been fixing a couple of rust holes on his truck. No ‘dry state’ body swap nonsense the man has been doing ‘real’ repairs. He deserves this van and support also.. no back to finish watching this ‘vidjeo’

Great crossover Rich, glad to see chris doing a cross over

Only thing that could top this is deboss, peg and pug in one video…

If your aim is to retrofit a variety of different trucks, have you considered in-wheel hub electric motors? You wouldn't need to mod the front end of a two-wheel drive to make it a 4x4. I'm really liking your concept of making an EV with a generator. A lot of hybrids have electric motors that assist the internal combustion engine. I've always thought that was stupid. As you pointed out an engine has an rpm sweet spot of efficiency. Running at that constant rate, using a smaller and lighter motor to top off the batteries, is the way the BMW i3 hybrid Range Extender model worked. Plugging your truck into your house to use as a generator is awesome. I have a 3000-watt inverter in my GMC I use to run the furnace in power outages. I'd love to run the whole house that would be too cool. emergence generator can be very noisy

Great practical design

Do your curtsy.

Listening to you guys rap is mindblowing to hear you all talking about the things I have been thinking about since the 90s. I started driving trucks in 1984 and I kept seeing natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina, and I was like if there were hybrid semis, FEMA wouldn't have to move mountains to get power to disaster relief locations, they could drive the generators to that area "mobile power grid" and be delivering the emergency supplies at the same time, it's all going to get there by truck anyway. I love the shape of Topsy, she reminds me of the 64 Autocar I drove for a coal company.

This video just infected deboss its down fall starting

Battery cant be used in heavy desiel? Heavy desiel isnt going away? No one can review the Tesla trucks on the road? These are all lies. Flat out lies you can search and prove theyre lies in 10 seconds. Im intereated in what youre doing but you juat wenr to 1.5 playback speed. Strikes one and two. Cat has electeic only self driving mining units on the job for a year or two. They don't market to you so you dont know about it. I think its the American fleet Managers asso had trucks from all manufacturers running routes durring their convention last year. Happens every convention becauaw they buy trucks. Tesla trucks were available and people could ride in them and publish the performance. Theyre selling them as fast as they can build them. No one needs to sell trucks so people act like all the major desiel dont have 100% elecrric trucks on the road. They have had them for years. The first 100% self driving delivery truck in Colorado was 2014. Budwiser runs from Ft Collins to Colorado Springs right through denver ruah hour. Come on, be a man and stand by your own work instead of lying about what you nothing about.

Crazy I used to watch 1puglife for years about 5 years ago. Seeing him act normal is foreign ha. Went back and watched some of the old videos. Ray and doodle doing big big jumps and rolling that mini Cooper lol.

I just bought a 2001 Chevy. It had high mileage on it. I had to fix a lot of stuff, but it seems okay now.

Of course we all know they are known for bad front ends.Brakes,bearings,axles.May 2024 I am needing new camper power heated mirror glass in my 99.My gauges work ok.Also brake sensors are known to go bad alot and expensive to repair.I pulled my fuse and do away with the abs.MINE IS VERY GOOD IN GAS.UM PART OF THE OLD VORTECS ARE PART OF A LS.I AM SO SICK OF HEARING LS.SORRY BOYS

I've been watching 1puglife since his very 1st video and when he use to hang out at davidsfarm. Long time subscriber.

Best crossover in Canada hands down

😎Excellent! Chooch it! 😎

Sweet.

This is so exciting! Keep the videos coming! I love this topic!

Chris seems like such a genuine guy. Been a long time sunscriber. Have even been in some sype or google video calls with him and a few other youtubers. Someone id be frieds with.

The collab i never thought i’d see, but i’m here for it.

REMEMBER HIM AT DAVE THE FIDDLERS FARM GOOD TO SEE HE IS STILL ALIVE HA

Good thing ya didn’t stove in his pliance!

im pretty sure he was the first one i ever sub to on KZfaq. been a loooong tome follower of onepug life

But the 2.6 IS a hemi! LOL

🥂nice job and respect ) like for you channel 🎂

thanks for having us out

I been saying to do this for many years. If i had the money i would of already did this

Wonder bread used to have delivery vans similar to these that had four cylinder perkins diesels and six speed manual trannys in them. Bought a wrecked one for the motor and tranny.

If BC loses these guys that would be tragic

Had on in a Crist-Craft with a merc-cruiser (5.7) for over 10 years and never had a single problem with it at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Indidnt know he was still around. I remeber watching gim break his back at davidsfarm.

Pug sent me a hat for being a loyal fan..always liking every vidjya...good guy

If you're ever looking to make a shop in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Where there's lots of empty shops and lots of people that need jobs. I love to help you guys because fabrication and automotive stuff is what I do I love it I'm making things better than they used to be is my dream so keep me in mind let me know.

the edison motors in this would be killer...then turn it into a camper...

Very cool video. Both my favorite you tubers lol.😊

Ive wanted to ev swap my 4x4 ranger (likely an off the shelf ac50 kit) smaller battery and then run my 10kw yanmar diesel genset as a range extender. This is super cool to see you guys building a kit for bigger trucks that meets emissions!
