I can't believe you're doing this right now in the SCV. I live in Valencia, and at 110 degrees right now, I'm not doing anything outside. You are dedicated.
HAHA! Yes it has been SOOO hot this whole time during the engine swap outside! But suffering so much will make it that much better once it's running again. By the way, howdy neighbor!
@@AutoEdits still deciding and running out of time if I want to be ready for summer, hahaha. I like the Addictive Desert Designs Stealth Fighter or N-Fab’s RSP Pre-Runner Front Bumper but I wish it was designed so that the top of the bumper sits directly under the headlights. Do you have any suggestions? I’m looking for a pre-runner style that I could mount a winch to.
Your frame looks like new still. What a difference from a truck here in WI. Truck frames here are solid rust after 3 years... Must be so great to be able to keep vehicles around that you like , and be able to work on them. Here , after 10 years , not much left , and what is ,is rusted together garbage. Love your truck , its looking fresh again !
Yes, I am thankful for that about West coast vehicles. This thing did spend a few years in Michigan and has some rust to show for it but I've been able to start restoring that stuff since it was minimal!
autoedit Do vehicles near the ocean get effected from salt ? On Paradise Island in the Bahamas , Sea air rusts everything, so I have been told.. Of course its a sm island though.
Gah that is a sick truck sir! Love it. Can't wait for more vids on it. Just stumbled upon this channel and dang.. I am glad I did. Edits are amazing, quality is amazing, overall video is amazing! Subbed for sure
Thanks so much! Me too. It's going to be a really good video, lots happening with the engine swap and the Jasper Engines replacement is such a good piece... can't wait to see how awesome it runs!
I too run an open air filter. If my memory is correct fennigans garage did a open vs closed air cleaner episode and stated an open filter steals power due to heat. Guess time to box mine in and build a snorkel.
Here's the thing with that... it builds heat sitting in traffic but I don't care about power loss sitting in traffic. I want full beans when I'm hot doggin' through the back country! So we'll do a test on this thing once it's running again!
How much should I try to upload? Seems like it would take forever to really grow. My buddy Mike Finnegan's channel literally exploded and is doing great but he is kind of awesome and a celebrity and all...
I think that at least once a week, that is an absolute minimum, and to please youtube algorithms, you need to upload almost every day...but once your channel starts growing, it will be recomended by youtube more often, and that will help a lot! You have everything, you are a great guy, awsome filming and great content, its win win!!
I really look forward to ypur videos and i cant believe anyone would give you a thumb down. I also live pretty close to you and agree that you are nuts for doing this in the middle of this heat wave.
Thanks so much! Yes, it really was a test to get this done outside during this heat wave but suffering makes me appreciate it even more! I have learned to be cool with the thumbs down because it's the internet and you can NEVER make everyone happy here but the fact that someone like you took a few moments to not only watch but comment and interact with me in such a positive way makes up for any poo poo'ers!!!!
All good, I will put the engine swap video together in a week or so. The power steering pump won't get in to the dealer until middle of next week anyway.
Jason can you tell us what the specs are for the new bead lock wheels? backspace and offset? Love the truck and looking to build my own version but like the components you used for the entire build. suspension, brakes, etc... thank for any info you can post
What is the backspacing, and offset of the wheels to fit the 37" tires. I would love to have 37s on my rebel without a crazy lift like your black sheep, but one guy tried and the front tires hit the cab.
Trying to find a answer to this maybe you can help , i have a 2015 ram 1500 slt , has a lift and 37s , should i be worried about running that big of tires on stock motor/trans/gears ? Thanks !
Hey man i just started watching ur channel and I really like jeep bro I'm planning to buy 2016 jeep rubicon next year any advice of where to get a great deal on jeeps and by the way love ur Tuffsheds in background I work for Tuffshed for a long time😄
Jeepers should come to Mexico for engine swaps, U can get a Ls 5.3 engine, trans, tranfer and all the work for $3500 dlls👌🏻 U already have the engine, so the swap should be unexpensive!
You remind me of a friend who would buy civic and Integras and every time he would buy one he would take the motor and trans out, paint the engine bay and wire tuck it. He's probably done 10 like that. I don't think he can actually help himself if I'm honest he's really OCD like you.
ah the disposable Ram Hemi Engine. how old was the original? truck looks way newer than my 300k tacoma but thats a sad mexican made piece of crap and my truck was made in america
If u dont mind me asking... where can I get that bumper and off road lights... thanks

I’m happy this will always be here! I love this Ram and especially the customer bumper! I’m excited to install my new one this summer.
Howdy! What bumper did you get?

Right on. You are a great mechanic.
Well thanks so much... not so sure about that but I'll keep trying!
If Pinto made this video, she definitely has some skills! And worth mentioning in the ability to overcome the lack of opposable thumbs!!!
True!
I don't know what I like more, your dog or the Ram!
HAHA! I like them both and we both love that dumb truck!
Pinto level 10 What a good dog perfect project companion. Truck is starting to look good again. Looking fwd to the water pump engine start video.
Thanks so much! Me too. It's going to be a really good video, lots happening with the engine swap and the Jasper Engines replacement is such a good piece... can't wait to see how awesome it runs!
Need that bumper, looks good and works so well.
Very cool, I'm pumped to see more of the ram!

can't wait to see the install. pinto is dang cute, teaching my dog scarlet roll over next! have a good shoot with ded!
Up vote for Pinto!
Yeah, she's pretty rad!
I like the content your putting out, keep up the good work!
Thank you! I will try to keep it up!
I just love your channel!!! If you would have uploaded more often you channel would expload!!!
Thank you for great content!

Flip flops a garage dog and impact drill... You're my mechanic!!! I just sub.

lol i just went looking for the other video but nothing lol
you didnt watch the whole video today huh
i did but i saw there might have been more so i wanted to watch that before i saw this one lol
All good, I will put the engine swap video together in a week or so. The power steering pump won't get in to the dealer until middle of next week anyway.
I must know what kind of lights are those in the bumper i must know!!!!
Older model Lite Force
@@AutoEdits thank your for the reply they look so cool lit up wanted to fight a similar set
Jason can you tell us what the specs are for the new bead lock wheels? backspace and offset? Love the truck and looking to build my own version but like the components you used for the entire build. suspension, brakes, etc... thank for any info you can post
They are 17x9 with 4.5" of backspace. Seem to work perfect for this truck.
I feel like you wouldn't have gotten pulled over for no covers on your fog lights in any other state than California 😂
Yeah I wasn't aware there was even a law for that
why is that a law?
havoc4171 Because Liberals don't trust themselves.....
Julian S what about light bars?
I have to say, most of the CHP officers that have pulled me over were cool about it... one time, I totally deserved the speeding ticket I got...
i have a 2500 2015 and i want to put a winch behind the stock front bumper, anyone have try that?
I have seen that done... check out Diesel Power Products... they rule
autoedit will do! thank u man!! (y)
I can't wait to get into this video!!!!
Edit: Pinto made this video.
LOL! Thanks!
Hey there! My questions are, what size lift do you have and did you do some cutting to your fenders to fit those monster tires?
What is the backspacing, and offset of the wheels to fit the 37" tires. I would love to have 37s on my rebel without a crazy lift like your black sheep, but one guy tried and the front tires hit the cab.
I'm not sure. I can measure that next time I rotate them. I think it's about 4.5"
Is his a custom bumper? Or is something i can order for my ram? Love your videos!
Trying to find a answer to this maybe you can help , i have a 2015 ram 1500 slt , has a lift and 37s , should i be worried about running that big of tires on stock motor/trans/gears ? Thanks !
Nope
@@AutoEdits ok thank you , it was kinda bothering me , didnt want to damage anything , thank you !
Hey man i just started watching ur channel and I really like jeep bro I'm planning to buy 2016 jeep rubicon next year any advice of where to get a great deal on jeeps and by the way love ur Tuffsheds in background I work for Tuffshed for a long time😄
Hell yea buddy I been waiting for this !
Thanks for hanging in there... just getting started and have big plans for this truck!
How much does an engine swap cost and how much time would I need?🤔
I don't know what a swap for you would cost. Depends on the engine and where you live... It took me 3 full days of labor to do this installation.
AutoEdits I was thinking a 5.7 Hemi with less miles, and I live in Oklahoma
What front bumper is that?
How's that engine swap video coming along ;)
Dude. Pinto. Lol. That’s my last name and it is funny as heck to hear you calling her
Funny, I used to have a dog named Dude as well.
Great dog!!!
Yessssssssssssss...have been waiting so long for this!! :)
MEEEEE TOOOOOOOO! Me and Pinto both really love this truck.
pinto makes life easier.
She has been an interesting lesson over the last few years, and I appreciate that about her.
What bumper is that?
It's a custom bumper but look up pre runner bumper for ram and a few options will come up.
waiting on the mustang video
If you are going to rebuild your 5.7 hemi, its time for a jeep engine swap 👌🏻
I would love to put a 5.7 into the Jeep but that is soooo expensive. Besides, the Jeep runs pretty good like it is and needs a few other things first!
Jeepers should come to Mexico for engine swaps,
U can get a Ls 5.3 engine, trans, tranfer and all the work for $3500 dlls👌🏻
U already have the engine, so the swap should be unexpensive!
4BT Cummins would be bad ass
Pinto reminds me of Zeus
Nicely done video but seems like a lot of work just for a pick em up truck.
Oh man, have you seen this thing? My and my dog love that truck and will spend lots more time on it to make it run and do many upgrades to it!
shouldn't Pinto be called Pinta?
nice video
We named her after the car because she's little and kind of weird looking... but she answers to anything...lol
Thanks!
you should ls swap the jeep
I would love to but $$$$$$
You remind me of a friend who would buy civic and Integras and every time he would buy one he would take the motor and trans out, paint the engine bay and wire tuck it. He's probably done 10 like that. I don't think he can actually help himself if I'm honest he's really OCD like you.
fiat pinto? ;)
👍👍🚗
Engine swap vid engine swap vid engine swap vid......plsssssssssss
Mustang
It needs to wait it's turn but soon.
ah the disposable Ram Hemi Engine. how old was the original? truck looks way newer than my 300k tacoma but thats a sad mexican made piece of crap and my truck was made in america
This one had about 150,000 miles on it and is a 2009... it is no Toyota but is a great truck... just you watch what I do with this thing!!!
