Swamp coolers are very good investment in hot areas. We use them in every corner in my school workshop. My country is very hot, just last Saturday the temperature reached 116.6°F and at night it still over 104°F.
We done a 6.7 swap in 2006 Ford F-250 the guys at conversion specialist were the best everything worked good had two ecms one ford one Cummins .They are some smart puppies when comes to there kits.
111k subscribers! Holy shit your shit grows fast. You were 30k like a month ago... A big channel to fit your big personally, I think it fits well. Keep up the great work 👍
He'll be on the Motor Trend channel very soon. He is sooo good. My favorite channel. Even my wife likes his channel. Keep up the good work Westen. You are making a lot of people very happy. I want to commend you for that!!!
Good to have a reason to cleanup the shop. Good looking burger u had there. Like they say don’t trust a skinny Chef. Cleaning, cooking and turnin a wrench’s. Ur killin it. Glad to see ur doing it right. Checking the fuel shut off first is a must. Still can’t wait to she her roll. I’m still gonna buy her when u let me. Thx
Bro I'm so happy for you I absolutely love your channel it literally shows us we are capable of amazing things like this with a little patience and persistence. I will forever be a fan, I've had a rough week and watching your videos lightens me up and makes me laugh. Keep being awesome Westen!
It never goes as planned, but its going ! Keep the reports coming on the cooler, many of us have been eying those, we need reliable first hand reports from guys like you.
Sir, you are enginuity and a can do attitude all in the right spot. You just have to admire your talent and expertise. Thanks for a great video. You take care.
I love rewatching your videos. I wish you had started posting your shenanigans sooner because I’ve already watched all your videos 😅😅 some multiple times over. Good shit man, I love a genuine person I can relate to.
Joshua Odowd exactly, the most mechanical an engine can get, and the truck is killer... my question is, how little knowledge does he have on wiring lol, like there’s very few things to wire on this engine lol because it’s literally 85% mechanical and that’s why it’s so dependable...
THIS SET OF VIDEOS ARE SOME OF THE BEST ON UA-cam.....THE SOUND IS GOOD.....THE CAMERA WORK IS GOOD.....THE VIDEOS ARE ENTERTAINING WITHOUT BEING STUPID.....KEEP IT COMING.....(I MEAN CUMMINS).....
I hate Fords but this is going to be one cool Ford with the Cummins engine in it. I like your videos because you think outside the box and your always happy and kidding around. You enjoy life.
If you put your old fan about 4-5' in front of that evaporative cooler, it should REALLY throw some of that cold air around. Or, if you can figure out how to create a vortex in your show to work the air all the way around your shop you can keep it nice and cool.
"Devil's Sauna" sounds about right. I'm always amazed at how much the humidity bothers me when I visit back home from the high desert climate I live in now.
Well we don't celebrate 4th July in New Zealand but hope your day went well with the bbq and family. It was good to hear the Flumins start although with a few issues but hope you sort them out. So good luck and keep the fan on and keep cool.
I remember back in the 70's when we went to "plug and play". The bid deal was to find women that knew how to do tatting (intricate embroidery) which we found in Mexico and Puerto Rico. The results had to be six sigma. It eliminated six (?) stations on the assembly lines. Those folks hated it, but the dealers loved it. Much later I bought 18 Mazack machining centers (for another company) to machine engine blocks to 4 microns - no cylinder lapping. The neat part was to get some work for the new line and swap out the old line. It was a big deal, the old line fed off a 168 gallon hydraulic fluid tank. A break in the line near the operator would fry him within 30 seconds. The new line used 2 1/2 gallons per center, had an auto shut off with a sudden change in pressure and the operator was shielded. The old line operators would not go along with it. We moved the line to another state. Same union, different leaders. The operators did not mind maintaining their pay rate while they swept floors and kept the plant white glove clean. Yes, we tore out 22,000 sf of concrete floor and replaced it with a triple reinforced floor 4' thick. Yes, four feet in a single pour. WOW! What machines! Each center 48,000 lbs but each center could be unplugged, pulled off line and used for one-off production or proto-typing. It was fun for a fellow with an undergraduate degree in finance and a minor in German literature at the graduate. But this stuff got under my skin and I have been involved with it for 56 years. Now, with my son, we have started a logistics business for cargo over dimension/ over weight. We have our own truck a Kenworth W900L with 625 hp. and a 55 ton Fontaine RGN trailer and nine subcontractors working for us. The point is that you and Andrew Camerata have taught me so much. Thank you and may God bless you and your family.
Westin, I don’t know how you walk around that truck so easily with balls that big! Buddy your a stud! And I mean that from a mechanics point of view, lol! Way to getter done!
2:44 my Dad had a broken fan so I went to Walmart and bought the exact same one, saved the box, put the broken one inside. We complained to Walmart customer service that it wasn't working so we gave them the receipt and they gave us a new one for free. Now we have 2 fans haha. Its called the Chicano shuffle. You should try it when that cooler breaks down on you.
Just sayin I been here since 1,700 subs. You’re my new favorite UA-camr Westen. Funny, informative and a great mechanic!Keep up the great work and don’t stray too far away from your original content!
Westen you are a genuinely funny guy besides being a dam good mechanic! You are starting to get a lot of subscribers too! I am looking forward to seeing the Fummins drive down the road next video! Thanks for all the great content & video!
If you want a cheaper building cooler you can put a garden sprinkler on top of your shop and turn it on. It'll drop the temperature inside making it feel less like a microwave. My dad used to work at a auto shop with the hoop style front building and in the middle of summer with the sprinkler going you could put your hand on the ceiling and it not scald yourself
A tip for the hot days. Put a soaker hose on the roof peak. Just like a radiator, the cool water will pull the heat off steel roof. Of course if you are on town water you would want to rig up some water tanks and recirculating pumps.
Hey man I enjoy your videos!! I buy the same kind of junk you do and slowly put them back together. On your Porta Cool unit make sure you keep the water reservoir clean otherwise gunk forms in it and causes mold. The membrane the the water runs down will also stop working properly if the pipe that feeds it gets the gunk in it.
What I like about u, u don't bullshit!! If something is wrong u point it out, not like some of these other guys always have excuses. Can't wait to see this going down the road
What's up with the Byoncia comments? Obsession?? Lol. Your very entertaining to say the least! I'm new to your channel and this series has been fun to watch!!
Sounds like you had a Blessed 4th with family, always a good thing. Great video, loved that it started and you can fix what is leaking. 111K and growing!! Till the next time!! Love ya lots!!
Run a soaker hose along the ridge of the roof of the shop you want the water to just drip off the edges. It will lower the temp in the shop like you almost have A/C. You can put any kind of sprinkler you want up there put the soaker hose uses the lessst amount of water.
Steel feelers gauges won't hurt the sensor, even if it had power to it. I would make sure the notches in the crank pulley doesn't have too much rust preventing the sensor from detecting notches. Also most hall effect sensors work best when there is next to no space. Good luck. Oh, lastly make sure the wires aren't switch. Hall effect sensors are dependent on polarity.
i am a fellow kansan!!!! I am rebuilding a toyota celica, there are a lot of car enthusiast in kansas. best of luck to you dude, i subscribed. love your channel keep up the good work
As always great video and also congratulations on your channel growing like it has. I still think it needs to be called Fummins has a great ring to it, I can't wait to see the next video on this beasts journey and it's transformation.
Great to hear the Fummins running! Awesome video btw.. good job on the editing and sped up portions. I'm really digging the channel.. TBH, I don't own a truck, don't know jack about diesels or tractors, but I do enjoy the content and you seem like a genuinely good person. Best of luck to you! :)
You forgot a few things... Add Cummins stickers for the back window... Remove everything that says Ford and replace it with Ram logos or stickers to make it hillarius...since it's known that the Cummins engine is used on Ram trucks... ...it would make a cool hillbilly truck.
Yeah Westin you’ll like that Porti cool unit. We thought about getting one cuz we’re in the hottest state/Texas. And after jun23rd it gets hotter than hell. Last yeah the record high was 104 and it sucked. The heat just sucks the life out of you.
Yea Westen...The Fummins runs... Hey whats an engine swap without a few hiccups....nothing you can't handle. For your sake, I hope the Transmission is Ok....but even if its not, I have faith you will triumph no matter what. Thanks for the Video, and the update.
I am very anxious to see the red fire square body Cummins swoop show up. I have and 1984 3500 4 x4 that I am wanting put a Cummins in. I have gathered a number or videos on the subject but to date you have been more informative from (my point) with what I have seen to date. I have been constantly checking your site for it to appear.
A bit late but happy 4th of July guys! ;)
Westen Champlin Love the channel💙
Thank you! You too weaten
Happy 4th brother

Last time I was this early Westen was clean shaven!! Boy did you ever remove the factory flaw from that diesel Ford!!
Also from Kansas so it makes it that much better watching you guys.
It never goes as planned, but its going ! Keep the reports coming on the cooler, many of us have been eying those, we need reliable first hand reports from guys like you.
I bet i have checked UA-cam 50 times this weekend for this update. Love your videos Westen!
Still waiting for the moment when you start calling it the Curd
Thanks for showing a real swap with all the chaos that can happen.
Sir, you are enginuity and a can do attitude all in the right spot. You just have to admire your talent and expertise. Thanks for a great video. You take care.
I love rewatching your videos. I wish you had started posting your shenanigans sooner because I’ve already watched all your videos 😅😅 some multiple times over. Good shit man, I love a genuine person I can relate to.
As long as the humidity stays low where you are the swamp cooler will work well.
So close soooooo close, you can almost smell it! Great job so far, thanks for your hard sweaty work! Cooler heads will prevail!!
Best of both worlds there man imo best looking pick up truck and arguably the most reliable Diesel engine

I know the feeling seeing it run after all the work you have done - I like the way you explain things loud and clear but the most happy
She's running can't wait for the next video thanks Westen
"Devil's Sauna" sounds about right. I'm always amazed at how much the humidity bothers me when I visit back home from the high desert climate I live in now.
I've literally never even driven a diesel, but I love your content!
I've driven diesels, it is nothing special. They don't have the high revving power that gasoline engines have. But they have lots of torque for sure.
Well we don't celebrate 4th July in New Zealand but hope your day went well with the bbq and family. It was good to hear the Flumins start although with a few issues but hope you sort them out. So good luck and keep the fan on and keep cool.

thanks! glad you like em I think there turned out pretty cool
funniest truck guy i know, work for your money and have fun doing it great job man yo videos be givin me some laughs

Dude I love your channel , nothing cheers me up like like your videos. Your entertainment rating to me is 10/10 keep busting them vids out son!!
The quality of your videos is getting better and better Winston, 8:00 I felt like I was watching a really cool car programme on tv 😄
I can tell your video editing skills are getting better. Keep up the good work, I’ve been anxiously waiting to hear this truck run!

You don’t know anything about being in hot weather until you come here down in AZ in the summer. Everyday is over 100 degrees.
You know I am so happy when I see that you’ve uploaded a new video it makes my day
Geez ur channel is growing so freaking fast, beyonce must be impressed
Thumbs up if Westen should upload more videos a week because they’re awesome
This truck will be a good power house glad to see you are almost finished up with it nice job ...

Good move with the Swamp Cooler, the guys in Texas swear by them.
Great video Weston runs great still needs abit of work can’t wait for it to be on the road

115 degrees!!!!! You should come to Las Vegas this time of year
Very sad I didn’t get a notification of this video. It was however in my recommendation list. So I’m not that sad. Need more Westin!
Close to runnin ,I'm ready been waiting , can't wait much longer .
Run a soaker hose along the ridge of the roof of the shop you want the water to just drip off the edges. It will lower the temp in the shop like you almost have A/C. You can put any kind of sprinkler you want up there put the soaker hose uses the lessst amount of water.
I like the short list idea! Hope you and yours had a good 4th.
Dude your videos are the best I like how genuine y’all are !
This is going to be pretty cool when you get done.
Weston your killin these videos happy to see the fummins running.. mostly, but I think you should call it super C
Man so excited. Ur killing me with all these small parts.
It wasn't leaking oil it was sweating Torque!!!!!!
Steel feelers gauges won't hurt the sensor, even if it had power to it. I would make sure the notches in the crank pulley doesn't have too much rust preventing the sensor from detecting notches. Also most hall effect sensors work best when there is next to no space. Good luck. Oh, lastly make sure the wires aren't switch. Hall effect sensors are dependent on polarity.
Nice to see westen channel getting bigger! Keep up the good work
U need to get your shop insulated for the summer
Congrats on the first start!
Keep up the great work!
Line your roof with radiant barrier! It's cheap and works
About to jump in my 600hp, 1,200FtLbs 6.7 to get pizza... the damn rear tires only last about 200 miles though! Damn Cummins is hard on tires!
does it burnout for miles, if rear tires only last 200 miles, you definitely have something wrong.
Just to let you know audio is fine with the fan on low and good luck on all your projects brother
i am a fellow kansan!!!! I am rebuilding a toyota celica, there are a lot of car enthusiast in kansas. best of luck to you dude, i subscribed. love your channel keep up the good work
It's going to be a cool truck I can't wait to see it running. Great video . God Bless you and your family
Call it the Super Cummins ! great video as always!
Nice truck bro. I'm more of a Chevy guy but that Cummins looks damn fine in that ford.
I like that extension cord on the ceiling so I hit that subscribed button 👍👍👍
Roof is 115 degrees LOL out here in vegas, the air is that hot!!
Holy crap man!

Thanks for the video. For a Cummins swap that happened pretty fast.
Making good progress, it does run so that’s not bad on the first try!!
Do some merch! I want a shirt saying “my ford makes Cummins noises!!!!” Love the channel and want to support
By far my favorite channel!
id go with the 6.12 or super cummins lol and did i love the camera work on this one. that rotating timelapse was awesome

Remove everything that says Ford and replace it with Ram logos or stickers to make it hillarius...since it's known that the Cummins engine is used on Ram trucks...
...it would make a cool hillbilly truck.
Now that you tidied the shop up little, maybe its time for a tour :P
Nice video. I really like the Cummins swap. I plan to do one in the future so it's nice to see some of what it takes to do it.
If you put a Allison in there,it would be the Truck of all Trucks. Good job keep it up.
5r110 is way better
