    I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
    At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

    Al, you are amazing. And so patient.

It's a great idea and you will love the result. Kudos to you. I would have just spent the money to have someone do it. No doubt that would have cost a fair amount of money, but I would have reduced my stress level by an amount far greater than the amount of money spent.

It took me a while to realize that all men are not like that. I knew more than a lot of the guys I knew. I used to ask for tools for birthdays & Christmas. I wish Olivia would take an interest. It would serve her well later in life. Glad you got the heater installed. Y’all will really enjoy that. I hope you didn’t have to edit out too much cursing. 😂 Stay warm & safe.

But in your situation zip ties are best to match everything on the mule Al and I bet you can find it at you local hardware store, Walmart, or even Amazon would have it!

    Hey Al.
    I know of some cars that need to be lifted up at the front by 30 degrees to get the air out of the passenger cell heater system, (BMW 5series with big engines)
    so if you place the mule at a steep spot, front up, maybe even rear or sideways IDK(depends on how the tubes are placed) and give it a few seconds with a good throttle in neutral and warm engine, it might blow the air out of the system.
    You can also try to loosen the highest connection in the system a bit when it's hot and under pressure, if the other method didn't work out.
    Try it, you cannot loose anything.

    Rain-X suggester lady here, thanks for shout-out. LOL 😆 (Not affiliated with them, btw, the product is just good.) Wow, a lot involved in this heater installation, but a much needed upgrade where it gets really cold & snowy. I always admire people who can do handy modifications, build stuff, etc. My abilities are somewhat limited, but I do enjoy watching the process. 🙂
    Gina, if you want warm boots, get some Sorel boots. Mid-range price or higher, avoid the cheap ones. It's what all the women in the frozen north wear. In extreme cases, add a heat pack. ☺️

    Of the radiator is in the front, jack up the front and open the cap so the air bubbles will hit the high point( open radiator neck)

    Hello Al, enjoy hearing about your previous experiences as a diesel mechanic. When doing this kind of install work oh, would you mind telling us more about your employment history and what you've done in the past? It certainly helps us understand why you do so many things well. I'd like to think, if you can do this from a kit, many of us could too? Old Dave from Michigan.

    Al, at the 27.25 mark if you look to your right you can see the coolant Recovery/Refill tank. As the engine cools and reheats it will level off. Just like your car and truck does

    • @samvalentine3206
      @samvalentine3206 3 роки тому

      You got it - and as you know, you have to top off the radiator so that when the coolant contracts, it will pull it from the recovery tank. Otherwise it can get air in there and not function correctly.

    Enjoyed the video. Tip: Leave the radiator cap off when you bring the engine to operating temperature. It will keep the system from being pressurized and allow the air to escape. Then, fill the radiator and overflow tank. If the overflow tank isn't to the cold/hot full line, then when the system cools off, it will pull air back into the system.

    Good How-To, Al. Suggestion from experience - When summertime or warmer weather rolls around, you may want o install a shut-off valve on your heater box 'inlet' water line. If you do not, the natural flow-through ventilation will probably make it hotter than normal in cab area. You could install back by the 'Y' at the engine, or up near the heater box...whichever is easier.

    Watching you work on this project and hearing you say you worked on diesel engins early on made me think of Matt at Dresel Creek. Do not know if you have seen him on FB or if you have time to view many other creators, but I recommend him. I know next to nothing about diesel engines and just a little about automotive as in early maintenance taught by my dad, but I enjoy this channel.

    Really liked that install, you showed pretty much all the steps for install and it made total sense and would be helpful for others.. Sometimes your builds make no sense till they are nearly finished and are hard watching because you don't explain what you are attempting to do so it's hard to understand and enjoy watching.
    The start of the latest composting outhouse is a good example. I was totally lost till you explained that it was a plan from Jamaica Cottage Shop and that's why the walls were so low... maybe a drawing, sketch or a bit of explanation at the start would have helped me as a viewer grasp the concept instead of being left confused.
    I do enjoy watching the channel but sometimes when there is a lot of woodcutting with no talking about what's going on that can get a little bit boring to watch. that said I do appreciate the effort.

That's pretty cool though you working in detroit 😁❤️
