I picked up this trashed T-mag work truck that was in bad shape, parts are hard to find so lets see if we can work around that. so lets make some stuff fit.
That moment when you said the tail gate needs some adjustment then you came back into frame with that sledge hammer, Man I haven't laughed that hard in a while
Found this: "It's a black box behind the dash. The input wire is coming from the speedometer telling it how fast you are going. The box is grounded I believe, the output wire connects into the wiring that goes back to the fuel pump. When the box reads a speed of 26mph or faster, it cuts the power to the fuel pump."
So basically it's an add-on hardware speed limiter. That's nice because as soon as you figure out how it's wired in you can simply remove it from the circuit or possibly even just unplug the wire that feeds the speedo signal into the rev limiter (patching the wires to the fuel pump through seems like a more permanent solution though).
I have that same Creader scan tool. Instead of trying to scan the vehicle via model, just select OBD on the left side and it will auto scan until it finds a compatible program to read the codes. Love your content BTW
If this is anything like my icarsoft, OBD mode will only do the ECM. If you select model you might get access to other modules too. Also: On Board Diagnostic - O-B-D. Personally I always remember it as ODB too, but read it out in my head to fix it before I open my mouth. It is a hard abbreviation.
This is very correct, I’m glad someone noticed I was hollering at the 📺 for him to hit the OBD2 button. That little scanner is perfect for that truck honestly
I grew up in China, I remember these were literally everywhere, it's like the F150 of China. You have the pickup truck and the van version too. Farmers use these tiny trucks to haul vegetables and meat to the farmers market every morning and I have seen these with more than 300k km (180k miles) on them. They beat the crap out of these trucks and they seem to be very reliable. Parts are super cheap, the same coil probably costs $2 in China for this truck.
We also have them in south america, pretty reliable for the price, i'd rather one of this one over a kei truck since the engines are bigger, the ones with 1.3 engine hauls ass
Love your channel Mustie, you just ignore all the people that criticize your technique, I think you know what you're doing. You're living the dream of a lot of us out here in UA-cam land 🙂
Anyone who criticizes @mustie1 needs to reevaluate their lives and the choices they make. I'm sure their opinions only illicit a slight yawn from mustie, who, If I had to bet on surviving a zombie apocalypse, would rule the world, mostly riding a bumper car death machine!
No doubt Mustie DOES read manuals and knows how to throw parts at it by following a factory service manual (and so do professional mechanics), but these are teaching moments where the teacher uses the skills he does have and tries not to rely on just doing it by the book. Oftentimes the manuals cannot be found (for free) on the internet anyway. Mustie is one of the few who will be fixing things after TSHTF
the "tablet" for diagnosis has two modes: the one you used(called specific mode) and a general mode(left selection, OBD II). use the general mode on unknown things/cars. Got the same unit and works well
OMG! Bed corner is tilted up. Let’s see if we can fix it! Giant sledge comes flying in! 😂😂 Thank you Mustie for all your video’s! Always learn and laugh with each one! Keep up the awesome work!
I wish you were on everyday Darren. I absolutely love this channel. I’ve learned about panel beating today. It’s all wonderful stuff. Mustie 1 is hard to beat. 👍🔧🇬🇧
I had an old Ford Fiesta I could fix with pliers and a screwdriver. Never seen a vehicle fixed mainly with just ever bigger hammers! Great job as always, she really rips now!
Mustie1👍👍👍👍👍 little bit of everything.. Andy Camarata body work, doughnuts, and great engineering from you... life is good...please don't stop doing what you do!!!
The higher the pressure, the harder time a spark has. That's why you'll get two plugs firing fine outside the engine and at idle, but a misfire under load (when the cylinder/ chamber pressure increases). This is why I got one of those flashy sparky in series tester thingies, after days of "But you have spark, why won't you smegging run" on one of my hateful cars.
The difference with your test and what people were saying is that both plugs were under the same atmospheric conditions in your test. When running in the cylinders, one cylinder has higher pressure than the other. I'm pretty sure that the one with the lower pressure has a lower breakdown voltage, so will be more likely to fire. Yes, on a quick search I find "increasing the gas pressure increases its density, which decreases the mean free path length of moving ions. This limits the distance an ion can travel before it gets deionized in a collision, and increases the amount of electric field strength required to achieve a breakdown cascade."
The "new muffler" really gives it a roadster sound! It's so great to watch someone take parts from different sources and make them work together. Before I bought my side by side, I had considered getting me one of the little trucks like that. Although I was having difficulty finding one that was left hand steering. Anyway, I like I say, nothing beats good ol American ingenuity!
The hot setup is to use an electronic speedometer corrector (like the jeep guys use for big tires) and set it to 62/100. That way the speedo reads in MPH. Your new speed limit would be 64.5mph which wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing.
@@SandBoxJohn Downside to that is you won't have a speedo on days with storms, or if you forgot your phone, or if the phone is flat, or if you get a phone call. I have an Android stereo in my car, and while that saves several of the above issues, it still takes a while to start the GPS, and can drop out on days with bad weather (rare, but it does).
Just a thought with the speedo is that which wires on the plug that Mustie1 pulled out operate the cut out switch? If it's only 1 then illuminate it and the speedometer may still operate???
@@shanestachurski9667 Probably depends on how fancy the implementation is. I've got a sneaking suspicion that the sensor simply generates pulses (the faster the shaft spins the faster the pulses) and the ECU reads those pulses for various functions, including both the rev limiter and the speedometer display. If that's the case you'd need to reprogram the ECU, which should be simple - IF you had the correct software for it.
@@Ragnar8504 I doubt the ECU cares what the vehicle speed is. Most of the time on simple vehicles, like motorcycles and ATVs, the speed sensor goes right into the instrument cluster. And look at Japanese cars maybe 10 years ago, they didn't use CAN buses for the instrument cluster, there simply is a line from the speed sensor into the cluster.
Mustie would be lost without his playground across the street where he does burnouts, donuts and gets to act like a kid.I admire his ability to get things running for such little money, and his ability to diagnose and cobble things together is amazing.
Hi Mustie, other than your vast amount of fix it tricks and techniques, we are both kids at heart. No matter what age, PEOPLE NEED TO HAVE FUN AND NEVER STOP.....LOVE THE VIDEO!
If you measure the resistance on the 3 input pins it should be like this: if you're measuring between a coil and the common (or hot) you'll get a very low resistance, if you measure between the two coil pins you'll get double that resistance. This is because coils are just a bunch of wire going to the hot pin, if you're measuring between the two coils it's twice the amount of wire. It does require a reasonably good connection to the pins (using the pointy bits on the probes or attaching the croc clips you have) and a decent meter since it's pretty low resistance. You can also manually set your meter to a low range so it updates faster while measuring.
Great video as always. I hope you and your family are doing well. I wished I lived close to you because I have a motorcycle that I inherited from my father and it needs a lot of love and I would have no problem letting you work on it knowing that I would get it back working. You have probably forgotten more about mechanics than I have ever learned. You, sir, are a master with the recognition that you deserve
This truck sounds EXACTLY like my neighbor's expensive Subaru WRX. He paid extra to make his car sound like that. But this cheap rustbucket truck has the same sound and more entertainment value for a fraction of the price. I love it!
Plug that speedo drive back in. Pretty sure things will all work just fine now youve got the TPS plugged back in. Cab looks darn tidy inside. Shame that decks so crusty. Im sure youll find something to fit in amongst all your bits n pieces lol..
You are nothing short of an extremely talented wizard with any machine that has a combustion engine. I absolutely love watching these videos. Great video!
DIYing is all about Time, Effort, and Money. Very nice to see how you work around the last one. One day maybe the big three will make us one like this. I'll be the first in line to buy one. A good name for one of these would have to be DIYER.
totally cool, i think you should keep it and do your magic on it get the title and later sell it and make some cash!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are the man!!!! thanks Gary
Man I love your never give up attitude, you have more tricks up your sleave than a 2 card monte dealer, you worked on so much rust with this China pickup I went to Walgreens and got a Tetanus shot just to be on the safe side,, you got that thing running good.
Trucklettes... I know what you mean. Went for groceries the other day.. When 2 guys came in in a piaggio 3wired "Trucklette"... They oniened themselves out of the thingy like crabs out of an old shell. Both of them like 190cm high... Everyone around them where cheering them up and grinning like fools... Bc we all remember how it was to have something to ride&drive as a kid😎
Electrical devices work because they're packed at the factory with magical blue smoke. If you let that smoke out then things stop working. There's no way to put the smoke back in ever either. Once the smoke escapes it's fried then.
The middle is hot as you noticed but the others arent signal. They are the ground sides of each coil set. The ECU uses a mosfet or similar to complete the circuit through the coil and when it disconnects ground on one of them the field collapses and the high voltage side sparks.
On the plug you unhooked on the speedo drive it looked like it had more than two wires. Two of these wires might send the signal for the speedo, the extras might signal the speed limiter. If you could figure out which wires control which you may eliminate the limiter and keep the speedo function.
Thank you Bud ! I learn from you Every day. You have even taught me Patience and walk away for a minute if i'm stuck and with clear thoughts comes a solution...Love your vids
I have a backup alarm story. Years ago my uncles company was hired to plow Logan Airport OSHA ot the NTSB made them get backup alarms on all the trucks ( before it was law) He did... Then a different inspector thought they where to loud and made everyone wear ear plugs
Been watching you for quite some time now. I am a bit older than you (63) but share many ideas. Cant tell you how many time I am thinking "maybe this would work" and then you say the same. Really like your channel.
In slow motion, the double spark plug on one coil setup was a lot more intermittent than it appeared at first. Play it frame by frame, there are a LOT of misses. I'd be willing to bet, it never sparks them both at exactly the same time, but we'd need a high speed camera to verify.
It probably never sparks both plugs each cycle. But yeah with the frame rate you'll never tell on video. You probably can't even see it. Being as we have persistence of vision. So you're going to get an after glow effect watching it. The whole spots in the eyes thing. Now why they're both sparking even alternately is interesting I'm sure. I'd think one would be dominant and spark before the other ever reached its breakover Voltage. But something may be going on with atmospheric ionization? There's more to life than meets the eye, that's for sure. Another thing you can count on is a plug will fire in atmosphere differently than it will in a combustion chamber. You compress air and it gets more resistive. There's just more air then for the spark to jump through. Air is an insulator. That's why we put power lines up on poles. It's also why the high voltage transmission towers are really tall too. So they're in more air.
Should have gone into OBD-II options on the left. I think it would cycle through all of the protocols until something talked, presuming it uses one of those.
Nice little truck and great video again. It looked like there were 3 wires on the speed sensor. You might get away with disconnecting only the circuit that was triggering the speed limiter and keep the speedometer working. I'm betting the speed sensor needs only two of the wires with the third wire being for the limiter. Keep the videos coming!
On the tailgate repair at 26:30 - it's the old adage - bash to fit, file to hide, paint to cover. Works every time! BTW, great radiator support repair!
Many years ago we used to test Spark plugs at 80psi (aviation) but at ambient they maybe fine. As to code reading perhaps using EOBD diagnose will read pick up keep up i enjoy your content mustie thanks from across the pond
I’m glad I stuck it out watching the video . I got discouraged at the beginning. It seemed like a completely trash car. Once again you pulled something out of the trash, and made it very useable. For practically nothing. You made my day.
If I recall correctly there were 4 little vehicles like this in the UK during the 90's daihatsu hijet, honda acty, bedford rascal and a suzuki carry. Great video keep em coming
Their is a specific (cheap) registration category for cars and trucks in that size range in Japan. In countryside in China you don’t have to register them at all.
Hammers hammers we go. Tough love is needed to bring the ride back to rights. Probably the best use of a Dodge part known to man. You gotta give her/him a name. Definitely has personality. But it takes Mustie1 to give it a soul.
Hay guys and how's it going? I really enjoy watching your channel. You are the master!!!!! You make all of this look so easy! I am an aircraft mechanic and maintenance on planes can get tricky, so it gives me great pleasure to see your ability to be able to fix just about anything. I learn from you with every vid of yours that I watch, and I want to say thank you for that my friend. God bless and peace be with you and yours always. Later!
The commenter below that commented about the impact technique of realignment reminded me of the Comarata technique of repair...overkill and with the wrong tool.... It's all great stuff. Keep them coming.
Hi Mustie There are two ways to run two plugs from on double coil. One way is to use two separate coils and two blocking diodes on the primaries. They need to be able to block about 1Kv. The other way this is done is to use a single winding with two plug attachments at both ends of the coil. These usually use a separate primary winding. On this second type of coil, you should always have a plug connected at both ends. If not the coil can be damaged ( I know this because I wiped out a coil on my Honda years ago). This is because there is no separate ground path to the primary. I ended up having to wait for a month to replace the coil. During that time I took two coils and used the diode method. Anyway, be careful with double ended coils. Always have a ground path for a coil, like through a plug that isn't used. Dwight
That moment when you said the tail gate needs some adjustment then you came back into frame with that sledge hammer, Man I haven't laughed that hard in a while
You need to get out more , Billy !
Yep. “Let’s fix it!” LOL….
and if that doesn't work he has a bigger sledge hammer.
There's a good reason percussive maintenance is a real thing! And its not just because its hilarious when you don't expect it XD

He should also play with the wires in the trans plug he pulled, till he has the speedo but doesn't have the rev limiter.
Yes it goes into generic OBD until it finds the protocol that fits

Agreed💯🇩🇪
We’d never get our work done if there were videos every day. I do enjoy the mid week mayhem from time to time.
Had to laugh when I saw the top of the rad supports had popped out, gremlins will always try to get you. As you said sense of humour and persistence.

Yes, this is why forced induction creates elevated ignition system stress and often requires a smaller plug gap as a result.
Exactly, and it gets worse with more throttle. It sounded just like a Fiat Bambino 2 cylinder engine with the shared lead.
Both plugs were firing but were they both firing at the same time? I don't think just looking at it you can tell.
A flame is an effective short circuit to voltages above 100V as well. That’s how flame ionisation flame detectors work in gas boilers.
@@allangibson8494 Some vehicles use ionic knock detection through the spark plugs using this same principle. Saab had it in the late 90s.

Try plugging the throttle limiter back in, now that you plugged the throttle position switch back in. They may pair for performance.

Having fun with Mustie can't be beat😁😁😁😁😁
Been watching you for quite some time now. I am a bit older than you (63) but share many ideas. Cant tell you how many time I am thinking "maybe this would work" and then you say the same. Really like your channel.
When *Mustie1* was all happy and he said "NICE" after it was fixed on his test run; it sounded just like *Steve1989MREInfo*
*Let's get this out on a tray*
She's a runner ...love it! Now all you need is a little bodywork and paint to make it what it ain't!
In slow motion, the double spark plug on one coil setup was a lot more intermittent than it appeared at first. Play it frame by frame, there are a LOT of misses. I'd be willing to bet, it never sparks them both at exactly the same time, but we'd need a high speed camera to verify.
It probably never sparks both plugs each cycle. But yeah with the frame rate you'll never tell on video. You probably can't even see it. Being as we have persistence of vision. So you're going to get an after glow effect watching it. The whole spots in the eyes thing. Now why they're both sparking even alternately is interesting I'm sure. I'd think one would be dominant and spark before the other ever reached its breakover Voltage. But something may be going on with atmospheric ionization? There's more to life than meets the eye, that's for sure. Another thing you can count on is a plug will fire in atmosphere differently than it will in a combustion chamber. You compress air and it gets more resistive. There's just more air then for the spark to jump through. Air is an insulator. That's why we put power lines up on poles. It's also why the high voltage transmission towers are really tall too. So they're in more air.
Now that is an amazing little project truck for somebody!
Should have gone into OBD-II options on the left. I think it would cycle through all of the protocols until something talked, presuming it uses one of those.
i have same obd 2 reader and you right, OBD II/eobd option is used to read ecu , SCAN is for airbags,abs,...
This is correct. It’d likely find the protocol and talk
No need now. The check engine light was from the disconnected throttle position sensor.
The check engine light may also have been the reason for the speed limiter being in operation. I would try reconnecting it to check.
Mustie as always great video. Loved the Maxwell Smart comment.
Nice little truck and great video again. It looked like there were 3 wires on the speed sensor. You might get away with disconnecting only the circuit that was triggering the speed limiter and keep the speedometer working. I'm betting the speed sensor needs only two of the wires with the third wire being for the limiter. Keep the videos coming!
On the tailgate repair at 26:30 - it's the old adage - bash to fit, file to hide, paint to cover. Works every time! BTW, great radiator support repair!
Many years ago we used to test Spark plugs at 80psi (aviation) but at ambient they maybe fine. As to code reading perhaps using EOBD diagnose will read pick up keep up i enjoy your content mustie thanks from across the pond
I’m glad I stuck it out watching the video . I got discouraged at the beginning. It seemed like a completely trash car. Once again you pulled something out of the trash, and made it very useable. For practically nothing. You made my day.
If I recall correctly there were 4 little vehicles like this in the UK during the 90's daihatsu hijet, honda acty, bedford rascal and a suzuki carry. Great video keep em coming
Go '98 daihatsu hijet!! wouldn't know what to do without!
Their is a specific (cheap) registration category for cars and trucks in that size range in Japan. In countryside in China you don’t have to register them at all.
Mustie that was great enjoyed it thank you and for sharing and your time loved the donuts never thought I would see that.
Hammers hammers we go. Tough love is needed to bring the ride back to rights. Probably the best use of a Dodge part known to man. You gotta give her/him a name. Definitely has personality. But it takes Mustie1 to give it a soul.
Very nice for a little piece of doo that you picked up for cheap. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Hay guys and how's it going? I really enjoy watching your channel. You are the master!!!!! You make all of this look so easy! I am an aircraft mechanic and maintenance on planes can get tricky, so it gives me great pleasure to see your ability to be able to fix just about anything. I learn from you with every vid of yours that I watch, and I want to say thank you for that my friend. God bless and peace be with you and yours always. Later!
UR the man!
You might be able to hook the speed sensor back up now that you fixed the CEL by re connecting the TPS. Maybe it was in some sort of “limp” mode
He unhooked the speed sensor to get rid of the speed limiter. He had unplugged the TPS in the last episode.
The commenter below that commented about the impact technique of realignment reminded me of the Comarata technique of repair...overkill and with the wrong tool.... It's all great stuff. Keep them coming.
Darren, how are your folks ?? Did their area of Florida get hit ?? hope all is well and they are safe.
Hi Mustie
There are two ways to run two plugs from on double coil. One way is to use two separate coils and two blocking diodes on the primaries. They need to be able to block about 1Kv. The other way this is done is to use a single winding with two plug attachments at both ends of the coil. These usually use a separate primary winding. On this second type of coil, you should always have a plug connected at both ends. If not the coil can be damaged ( I know this because I wiped out a coil on my Honda years ago). This is because there is no separate ground path to the primary. I ended up having to wait for a month to replace the coil. During that time I took two coils and used the diode method.
Anyway, be careful with double ended coils. Always have a ground path for a coil, like through a plug that isn't used.

26:43 was a missed opportunity to channel AvE: "Taaaappy-tap-tap".
Being able to create doughnuts, is a true sign of a successful repair. Love the videos.
The most evil laugh on the internet…..Edit: did you remember to tighten up that bolt on the muffler hanger????
Awesome! Somehow I think it would be fun to fix the frame and keep the thing running.
Thanks mustie1 for these great videos
