I've been on your channel for the past 4 1/2 hours best diesel channel on YT.
FloridaRacingChannel cause he gives you the information you need and would want. No info is left unmentioned.
Where does this guy live? I have a 24v with 330k, May need a good rebuild soon. Help!!!!
@@Matt-fw3xw Ontario Canada I think
@@Gabriel.4190 I need to see more and hear more
I love it 💓
You give a lot of us the confidence to do work ourselves and learn from your videos . thank you .
He's 100% right about getting on it as soon as you can to seat the rings. I build motorcycle racing engines and I've argued with other builders who do three idling warm up cycles. I let mine idle for 20 seconds then gun it almost to redline. The cylinder pressure seats the rings and I end up with far higher compression and power. Nice to see someone agree with me.
I heard from my mechanic that hard break-in is not great for the engine especially for the cylinder wall and piston rings.. their explanation is "hard break-in like running it to redline will make the piston ring overheat and worn the rings too much and you will end up with lower engine compression.." what do you think?
meanwhile, I just follow what the manufacture of my bike recommends..
This is always a huge debate and it really should be. General rule of thumb is break in the engine however you’re going to drive it.
Piston rings absolutely NEED the cylinder pressure to push them out into the cylinder walls and seal properly.
If you’re running a new cam and tappets, you’ll also want to keep from staying at idle and keep it around 2-3k rpm for at least a minute or two with Zinc additive in your engine oil. Doing either of these without the other or neither will lead to a bad break in.
After that initial drive/run, pull her back into the shop, pop the hood, and carefully perform a hot retorque on the headstuds, check all your fluids once the engine has cooled down, and you should be good for a very long time afterwards 😊
Real down to earth precision surgery and display of professionalism and mechanical feel.
No gloves...a real hands on oil/diesel fueled character.
Knows the torque by heart...
Best, time goes by and I entertain myself
I don't have a cummins. Don't have any friends with a cummins. Have no intention to ever work on one. Still like watching you work
Zachary Welvaert ditto. Now know more about cummins diesels than i will ever need.
im 22 and dont even have a car but i watch every video he puts out.
@@nickhowatson4745 ??? How do you live without a car?
Nicholas Clinesmith the same way I live without a smartphone lol. I walk, run and bike. I stay un plugged from social media and leave it at home on the computer.
@@nickhowatson4745 smart man, somethings alot of us need to do
I love watching new deboss videos when I'm supposed to be "working" 😉 keep up the great vids.... much love and God bless from buffalo ny.
do your DAMN job
Folks, let's give this brother about 10 million views and 10 million subscribers..... He's on another level.
Rich is such a knowledgeable guy. Hope I can learn just as much as him when I’m becoming an HD mechanic.
I love when my phone rings and I see deboss garage posted a new video....You guys are killing it! Awesome work 👍
I've watched these rebuild videos a number of times in the last year. Its informative enough I'm thinking about doing my 12valve rebuild with my little bit of experience. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for taking the time to film this series. I don't see myself rebuilding my Cummins but it's good to know how they're put together.
I could definitely tell from the look on your face Rich that you were a bit nervous early on with that test drive. Perfectly understandable. That's a huge investment in parts & labor. Very cool to watch.
I'm a little late to your party 8 months or so always been my own mechanic my dad taught me ,I don't like working for other people , you shouid understand what I mean, never owned a diesel and I don't know a lick about them, great video; thank you
I don’t remember seeing you cover this in the video. And I’m sure you’re aware. But fun tip, after installing the pump and before changing the timing, make sure the TDC pin under the cover on the pump has been removed and spun around. Almost every 12v I do, someone forgets this step and the flag shears off the end of the timing pin.
Cleaning up the hoses and the wiring makes it look so much better. Now that is what taking pride in your work looks like! It also reduces the chance that something will melt or break. Nice job. I think the owner will Cum' to love that engine even more than the original... but it may take a couple hundred thousand km.
Pls make more vids ...hands down best instructional video ever 👍
Something is wrong here.. I didn't hear 18ft-lbs throughout the entire video!
Yes just reading the comments, yep DEBOSS IS UP with the big boys on youtube, what an awesome series with the cummins guys , we dont get that much big stuff for everyday truck down in NZ though its all relevant and you have oil in your blood it is the same. Awesome professionalism with style. By the way sorry my comment is nearly 2 years late.
Be safe one and all
Love this shit. I get all my diesel information from you. Even though the overall operation of diesel engines is simpler, there are components you outline (often related to fuel injection and Turbo) which never occur to someone like me with a flat-head and 2 slant 6 Chrysler engines. One thing for me that SHOULD be universal... Gear to gear timing... I know it might be noisey, but it is positive
Thanks for the awesome vid, us fleeters need all the guidance we can get.
First class video and build once again Rich! The aimlessness of that slushbox just kills me though! When I put a toggle switch on my torque converter lockup so it hooked up in every gear it transformed my old 12 valve and I guarantee it would drop that zero to 60 by a bunch.
Gotta say I love your videos! You give great how to's and helpful tips. I looked into your tape boss and ordered 2! Thanks so much for your hard work to make every one else's work easier!
There’s nothing like a perfect test drive after a full engine rebuild!
"Looks so pretty yet its 2" short. " Story of my life! Lol
It might be short, but it sure is skinny! Lol
OMG!!!!!!!! You sanded the "original" paint off of the freaking valve covers! ;)
I wish you were my neighbor that owed me a favor,well done!
great job man, one of lifes few that takes care and does it right first time. There are not many I would trust my engine with , only three and you are one, im the other and my mates son who is a good conscientious worker who works like you. Really pleased to find your channel & subscribed, Great Job & workmanship
Hey there man I'm Christian I've been digging your videos, your a really solid explainer..... if you need a solid worker with his own tools I would love to come to an apprenticeship. I'm really good at learning on the fly and trying to stay focused on the job. If you feel like having an extra hand I'd be blessed to hear from ya
Signed up for a mechanics online course, got an e-book and a link to this Chanel 👏👏👏
Seriously? What course?
Love when you explain everything😎
Fantastic job on the rebuild and an excellent “how-to” video on everything you did. Congrats to you on yet another successful project completion. Meteorologists are still trying to figure out where that low hanging blue cloud came from. 😉
3 or 4 da-da-dings! 😂😂 Love it!
next time tell everyone about the rubber plugs under the cowl for the rear 2 pushrods, and again great video.
You sir, are a hero to many.
I really enjoyed the video . I don't see how the fresh engine with more timing would have equal to a engine that needs rebuilding . After the rings seat it should be good. One thing that might impress the owner is a 3 k governor kit . Really wakes up the motor in my option . I run a bit more timing in my old 95 and 215 injectors , 10 plate and 3 k governor kit. . Just me but the 3 k governor kit is a nice add on even if it a stock motor and a bit more timing . The timing is the one thing that I found that really add fuel economy
I’m loving these longer videos
Awesome another Deboss garage video! I look forward to them now so you got me Rich.. I would love a suggestion from you guys of a video I should do on my tiny channel!!
Why it takes so long .... I am the same way (except I built / fix computers ) ... I return it to the customer with wiring all neat and out of way... Perfectionism is an addiction =)
Keep'em coming Rich. I always enjoy your work.
Great videos. I live in central Canada and build natural gas powered Cummins. We use the 8.3 and 5.9 Cummins which are fueled by natural gas or propane. Have you ever seen or heard of this before? The 8.3 makes about 99hp and just over 300ft/lb at 1800rpm thru a 200 series mixer and Woodward governor. If you'd like to see pics send me email and I'd gladly send you some
Oh and the 8.3 is either naturally aspirated or they come turbocharged as well which makes substantially more power
The dog reference was great!
Great job!
thanks now i know what to do for my trucks 12v im looking for one very simaler to yours
OK, I'm way late with a comment here and I get that. Still, the tragic loss of your old dog and getting that new dog analogy was genius.
You are the best! Thanks for the video!
I love the kitteh at the end
Your very good at what u do thanks for the videos
great analogy with the dog.
Hard workin man!! Love Cummins. My first was 97 dodge 12 V. Still have my 2006 3rd gen. Did I say I love Cummins?
You act like my dad when he works. Always getting mad but hey sometimes good work takes time it's definitely worth it.
Another happy customer... life is good
I would give my left ball to own a Cummins 6BT , reason being apart from being a fantastic engine I don't have a right ball...😁
Sir, where's the part 3 of a million mile 5.9 Cummins? I can't find it. But your channel is great and awesome! Keep it up sir!

Can you do more content on that webasto? I've heard they will bring a truck up to 100*f in 15min and full operating temp in 1hr. In below freezing, burning less than 1 cup of diesel.. I believe they could be wired to a truck output on a keyless or remote start. I see nothing but pros for cold weather startups. They can be had cheap from Mercedes and other German diesels in a wrecking yard. Thoughts?
Still diggin that Canadian Electric Bluegrass theme wa!
The only Canadian that I would believe is from Tennessee, we went to the same school of mechanic'n. LOL
Great editing
You're the man Rich! Keep it up
Great video Amazing. Love the cummins 😍
The last engine was a simple Honda d16y7 gave it a good hard break in and the owner says even after 500 miles of street driving it is still gaining power the more he drives it
1:39 I've heard of "uga dugas" but what's a "da da ding, da da ding"? 😂😜
But Rich, real men love bottoming out in the hole 👍👍👌👌👊👊😂😂😂😎😎
And filling it with yogurt
Hope you used the Permatex Ultra Slick.
Nah I prefer to blow the bottom out exploring new depths, cuz if you don't get it tight up around the flange she'll throw Sparks around every corner. Having your toaster oven not work right at 20 below (Fahrenheit) could be fatal.
Hi I can really see and feel your enthusiasm when it comes to these 5.9 Cummins dodges👍 I have a question regarding a build I’m doing, I have a 99 2500 4x4 frame and tranny putting a 98 southern cab on it but I bought a 94 5.9 Cummins 180000 klm on it with 185 hp factory injector pump new injectors and new factory Holset turbo question is this new motor has a small computer and harness with it can you give me any info on how to and the compatibility works ? Thanks much appreciate any advice.
The coolant re route made all the difference... do it once do it right
Awesome work Rich. I just did my 24v. I am trying to find the right oil to braek in my fresh rebuild. What type of oil did you use to braek in this cummins? Thank you for all the great and very helpful videos!
I hate putting the heads on those things by myself there between 120 and 150 lb and I'm not much more than that myself but it's possible by yourself
The Lord has blessed me with more diesel videos
Are da-da-dings gonna replace ugga duggas? Or are they the diesel equivalent?
Torque adapters should work to torque the turbo
I'm going to mail you my timing tools for the p-pump man lol. I never do them any more, they're getting old
Thanks man
Great work!! Now replace that sloppy transmission
Good day I a;lways thought or was told, be easy on them at the beginning Thanks
No, you want to load the engine so that the rings seat in well. That goes for gas or diesel engines. Daily driver or full blown (no pun intended) racecar.
Almost nobody builds anymore. I am sure once that motor runs in some it will pick up some ponies big job it looks great.
Great job, i break in engines the same way
Folks, I just swapped out my auto trans for a 5 speed. I have a transmission oil cooler laying around with nothing to do.
If you need it, reply; we can work something out. : )
how much
Impressive Video, Keep up the good work!
You guys need to do a 6.7 cummins now tons of viewa
Great videos! Really enjoy watching all of them!! Was wanting you opinion on injection pumps on the Cummins. Which do you prefer P-pump or VE?
P-pump 100%
Awesome!
I always do a proper cam break-in then after 2 more heat cycles I put her in the Ketchup and let her eat!
Nice indeed
Dude u r da boss.
10:22 they can sleep in the brand new trailer, then just can't tell about it nor leave any evidence :-). There's a rumor that the dealer can tell if someone slept on the mattress by looking at the plastic liner. Urban legend. As a professional driver, the RV hauler needs proper sleep and that's a much better setting than the backseat of the pickup.
Love your channel bro, from Alaska
Rich,I have a 2007 Ram 2500 with the 5.9, it’s at about 113k miles, Is there any preventative maintenance I should look into? Anything I should pay more attention to other than normal maintenance?
Break em in like you're going to run em!
Did you get all of your knowledge from messing around with motors when you were younger? Haha. My father would rebuild people’s lawnmowers not even knowing what he was doing at 17 years old and then became a diesel mechanic. But now he has 2 second gens and a 4th gen. Always making improvements on them all
Why does the "radius tester thingy Magoo" seems to be earthed ? I wondered that in a few other videos...
It's a magnet on a flexible arm to hold the degree wheel so it doesn't rotate
Question is why did you leave the head off before you put the engine in I've been easier to test run the engine with the hat on everything there and see what everything is going to do before you put it in the truck where is it a clearance issue because I got a 97 also and I pulled my engine with the head on
Same dog, but with a heart transplant! Lol!
Your customer grabbed a Transmission Heat Exchanger from a( his being a 1998 qaudcab ) 98.5-02 24 valve thats why there different.
Did you reinstall the radiator first ? I did when I did mine,. I was pretty upset when I figured out I had to disassemble everything to install the Fmic first.
That 12v sounds exactly like the 6.7 in our school buses
2 years later im here again .Merry Xmas ya'll
Thanks for the videos
As always great vid man
What great videos wow
Rich are you sure that's the original lift pump. Mine lasted 163,000 which was unheard of.
Man you do good work 👌🏻
Work trucks man, hard to kill an ole 5.9 cummins they run forever. Six in a row ready to tow!
Red stripes 👍
