  • IN THIS VIDEO I LOOK INTO THE NO REVERSE ISSUE WITH PROJECT EX-HAUL. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK KNOWING IT HAD NO REVERSE. IT ALSO HAD A BUNCH OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT KEPT IT FROM STARTING AND RUNNING. I GOT MOST OF THE OTHER ISSUES FIXED SO I COULD DRIVE IT HOME BUT THOUGHT I MIGHT NEED A TRANSMISSION. I SHOW HOW I WENT ABOUT FINDING THIS ISSUE. AFTER FINDING AND REPAIRING THE PROBLEM, I MAKE MORE PROGRESS ON THE REASSEMBLY. HOPE YOIU ENJOY.

    J.C. You do nice work, u haul , had training classes for there techs back in the 80 dees one of the things they would teach is you can fix any truck if you can find the answer to these three questions 1) confirm the complaint 2) find the cause of the problem 3) confirm the repair. I thought it was a great thing to teach new technicians….

    29:40 When you route the wire loom through the hole in the frame, does the plastic loom provide enough protection or do you add a grommet?

    • @j.c.smithprojects

    never understood wiring and the way most do it. the other day was watching a repair had i think 5 wires he used the same color on all of them. i had to wire a relay on a f250 today i moved the wires in the replacement pigtail to match original wiring. imostly work on dodge pickup but i bet i have 15 or 20 complete harnesses to pull wire from to match original only takes a few minutes to do it correctly

    What is the CA and Cab to end of frame now? U-Haul says on their sight that these trucks are rated to tow only 7500 lbs. I find that hard to believe. That had to be a function of its original intended use with a heavy box and the flimsy bumper you removed. I would think after you put the hitch plate on it, it could easily do 15-20K pulling. Not sure what the axle is rated for, but with a GN or 5W, I would think it could do that too, only more stable. Do you know? If you buy from the U-H website, they have the maintenance records of the stuff they did. They tend to let the oil changes go for 7500 miles and wait until well into the +100K before changing the trans fluid. Did you get any of that info? I am wondering with the VIN if they would give it to you. They say those are 20K GVW and the chassis weight w/o the box is 9780 on the U-H site. That seems high, but I suppose. I had an '03 C5500 CC with a steel hauler body and weighed it on a scale. That came in at 11K, but it had the CC, Hauler, and the Duramax. That '03 had a 19500 GVWR (not 20K...maybe they round) a GCWR of 26K, and a 13500 GAWR. If your '05 is the same and someone put a bed on it, then I guess if could haul about 15K then. Sounds about right I think.

    • @j.c.smithprojects
      @j.c.smithprojects  5 місяців тому

      its 86" ca. 10ft to end of frame. uhaul rates them to tow that with their little hitch on the rear. i have towed over 26k with my 4500. this truck has a 13,500 rear axle. i went over the service records before i bought it. 9780 seems high to me as well. last one of these i built was same length but diesel and a 10ft steel bed and it was close to that. gcvwr isnt listed on this truck. most people (including our state police) go by axle ratings. know what they are rated for and dont overload them.

    Why is it necessary to twist the wires?

    • @j.c.smithprojects
      @j.c.smithprojects  5 місяців тому

      every wire carrying a signal creates an electromagnetic radiation. this is a magnetic field around the wire. this can interrupt or interfere with communications. commonly referred to as "noise". the twisted pair reduces the amount of electromagnetic radiation.
