Hey, I have a quick question if it isn't too much trouble. Where do you get those nice printouts of wiring diagrams whenever you are working on something? I always end up with crappy blurry pictures whenever I try and find some.
You need to get a remote starter switch that clips to your battery and starter.
Kinda makes your job easier when you're testing an engine.
Can't believe I got in under 600 likes on one of your very interesting vids Wes.
Just ordered the spark tester.

I died when he did that 🤣🤣🤣
I wonder what happened there? Camera malfunction I bet...
Nothing to see here,😜 no pictures, no cameras😂😂😂

CAMARADA WOULDA TAKEN THAT JUNKER ANY TIME
LOVE HIS VIDEOS HES A GOOD GUY
Classic 👍
Yup, he is good at driveway resurfacing.
That shit made me laugh out loud
The pixelated cat 'correction' was a mini-stroke of genius.
At least we seen the _moneyshot of fumes_, c[huh?]pied out, in slow drips, oooooh dearest!
he was just doing his job as a good honest repair shop. that is all....moving on
Didn't see a thing.....😂
He's not asleep - he's making sure that suspicious-looking tree doesn't jump ya' while you're working.
He's doing his job and not complaining.
Dang trees! Always jumping in front of you! Especially on back roads..

Almost as funny as "Pakistani Truck approved safety sandals"!
No you spelled it right.
Pakistani truck, "this work cost 4.8 us dollar" as they pull an engine out, tear it down, throw every part in the dirt to clean the engine.
That Dodge would be a perfect truck for him lol. Pre rusted/ dented.

Maybe just cover the rest with sheets like when they do surgery...
LOL!! The blur of the cat cracked me up!

Loved the blurred shot
"No catalytic converters were harmed during the recording of this video"
That was some funny shit lol
@@DankoStojanovic ABSOLUTELY NOT !!!!

These videos are worth it for the commentary alone. Wes is one of the most entertaining people I’ve ever come across. His running commentary makes these Must See, if only to hear what he’s going to say next.
I think you're in the minority with that opinion!
Well I’m in the minority too then!
I remember the early days when he tried a couple of videos with no talking, tough times.
Wes I think your commentary is right up there (almost) with "cutting edge engineering,australia" and his out takes.
@@donniebrown2896 CEE cusses and swears a lot more, but he can surely weld and machine. His dog is a lot meaner looking too!
Nice work, Wes! Love hearing the big V10 roar back to life 👌😁
Hey Ivan, nice to see you here!
In my experience as summer help on farms back in the 60s, that 30° + steering slop tends to equal out when you hook up two overloaded bale wagons and pull them down the highway while attempting to beat the rain.
Because the brakes are always at least twice as sketchy as the steering, one quickly learns to plan any stops and turns at least a mile ahead IF the U-joints will take survival downshifting!
That one brought back a few memories! Been there, done that and bought the t-shirt. LOL
LOL I can so relate to this as a family farm member. haha
When I worked for a guy he had me drive an old international truck, told me to stick it in one gear and leave it there and don't stall it, apparently the gearbox had been rebuilt and the gears had been put into the gear box the wrong way and it didn't start too good. Well driving down the road was too slow so I tried another gear and was slower still so put it back where it was, when I got to where it needed to be I stalled it, luckily it started right up again, i was younger then so just did what I was told.
I had a Ford 150 4x4 that had no power brake booster for years. It just depended on how terrified you got as to how quick you could stop. The ones that squeaked the seat springs were very interesting.
You had brakes? Jealous.
Great job Wes - typical crusty Chrysler…..gotta love Illinois.

Props to Mrs. Wes for being able to steer that monster in! I work at a Dodge dealer and we have grown men that can't turn the steering wheel on those trucks when they don't run.
Don't mess with the Hufflepuff driver, she'll take you out.

And then she gets yelled at. I used to do that to my wife. And now I am divorced.

Watch Wes ream a catalytic converter. Those Illinois safety inspections are worth their weight in rust.
Not sure that he really did that. Something went wrong with the camera at that point. Hmmmm.
many places farm vehicles are special plated and exempt from certain things. not a clue about Illinois ;)
Illinois has no state inspection. If you can throw a tag on it you can drive it.
@@crispybaconmatters7160 I am surprised considering Chicago is the third or fourth largest city in the country (Grand Rapids, MI may have overtaken Chicago by now, I haven't checked).
@@mharris5047 Chicago is the third most populous, by almost half a million, but Houston is coming up fast. In the Chicago area, as well as in the counties around St Louis, there is a mandatory biennial emissions test, but no actual inspection. In the years I (in Cook County, the county Chicago's in) don't need an emissions test I just send the state $150ish and they send a new plate sticker. Downstate you don't even need the emissions test. That said, if you were driving something that was an obvious quasi-legal road hazard around here, you'd be a lot more likely to get one of Illinois' Finest turning their lights on behind you than Wes would test driving on gravel roads out his way. ... But maybe not by much. :D

Those tanks are even more fun, on your back, in a driveway, in winter, in Ontario when one strap nut comes off and the other stud comes out with the nut.
Had a 98 Dakota. Work truck, plow truck, decades eating salt in northern Michigan. Was gonna finally sell it, fix some issues, got it sorta kinda road worthy, back it up to wash it. Hmmmm. Something dragging under there. Fuel tank on the ground held on by filler neck n stuff. Did A Cameratta fix. Sold it next day.
Ever have the entire transmission come loose from the engine?
Picture this, a two week old 1972 brand new Vega GT, directly in front of the dealership from where it was bought. The look on the service managers, the mechanics faces were priceless. All the bolts had been stripped at the factory.

The old banana it the tailpipe trick... I guessed A.C. repair on the first guess, the prize is to not win the truck.
Nicely done. I will say a heat gun on the fuel hoses instantly softens them and they pop off like new. Also the price of catalytic converters these days, he probably has $400 in cat material left in there.
I can buy brand new universals for $80 each...
@@WatchWesWork Absolutely, but the old ones are worth a fortune right now. I didn't believe it either until I looked them up. A buddy just sold his old one for $600 because it was plugged and put $100 one on in replacement.
@@sixtyfiveford Wow, that's crazy!
The prius ones ive heard are something like $1k now, the new ones have absolute bare minimum amounts of expensive metals to make them pass emissions, the factory ones are pretty overbuilt to last for ages
Yes, stealing Catalytic convertors off of parked cars in the city is now a "thing". So the amount of precious metals in a convertor causes thieves to look for particular cars/trucks with original convertors, I didn't know that!
"Eric the car guy" has video of someone stealing a convertor off a Honda SUV of his.
You got a like for mentioning Andrew Camarata
Guessed fuel pump from the beginning.ive owned one since 2001 and worked on several.the motors are pretty simple and reliable.the fuel pumps only seem to last a couple years anymore.
Why doesn't anyone coat their cars underbody early on in life? You live in an area where this would make a lot of sense...
I know you mechanics don't like working on rusty old vehicles, but I appreciate these videos! I am not rich, so these are the kind of vehicles I own and work on. These videos are very helpful to me being able to see how and experienced mechanic deals with rust making everything difficult.
"This thing is all over the road." Must be his first time running a second gen. Hahahah. Love the channel. Keep it up
I gotta tell you Wes - I always enjoy your videos and I always learn something useful from them.
Great call on the parasitic draw, My super duty had the exact same culprit. Seat belt timer module.
Any way you look at it, it's still a dodge!
And it will continue to be a Dodge until it either rusts away OR until someone makes a "Fixed Or Recycled Dodge" out of it!
Better than a Ford of Chevy if you want to get work done
Giving her a sniff of brake cleaner - always does the trick! lol Smelling salts for engines!
Eric O approves.
I have a battery cutoff switch for my truck that has nothing wrong with it except a computer designed by the manufacturer to slowly drain the battery over a couple months. When I leave town for extended periods I use the cutoff switch so that when I get back in town a dead battery will not strand me at airport long term parking.
On the other hand my 1985 no computer truck can sit for a year and still crank right up like it was just running yesterday.
Do you remember way back when they told us that computers would make of life easier?
Look man, I aint fallin for no banana in my tailpipe! 😂
thanks for the memory
I enjoy watching Wes’ approach to isolating the problem. He knew intuitively it was the pump, but made sure to check the easy failure points before dropping the tank and realizing the pump was OK.
If you had a really long borescope, or a loser switch, you wouldn't need any friends to assist in V10 shenanigans! 2nd gens, ugh, Zip Ties nailed it when he called them shipping containers.
we love huffle puff, please don't 'dis' the huffle puff :-)

South Main Auto Repair mentioned you, which is how I found you. I’m binging and I’m on number 11 so far. Great videos. Check out Eric at South Main
Never mind. You just mentioned Eric. Excellent. Carry on. Best Regards
Reminiscent of Marvin the Paranoid Android listening to your commentary :)
I have a 2002 3500 dodge and when I saw battery draw I was saying glove box light. Had the same problem about 7 years ago and checked my sons 98 and same same. Cheep made plastic dash parts and just falls apart. Both truck are rust free but always fighting the dash parts.
Saturday mornings with Wes!! Perfect! Absolutely love your laugh!!
until a few months ago, i worked as the warehouse manager @ 1800 radiator, pumps tanks etc included. just a comment about that needed assembly on that fuel pump, the manufac. packs them that way to prevent the plastic clips from breaking which otherwise happens ALOT. just sayin :)
Yeah DELPHI, that's pretty much a swear word................ Had to replace many of their epic fails. Thanks for the Vid Wes.
I went through 3 Delphi fuel pumps on my 02 Dakota. A Bosch held its own for three years of heavy daily use.
I just replaced a Delphi pump for excessive noise today. It was installed less than a year ago.
@@FaithSaraG My son replaced a number of fuel pumps on his silver rot toe and we found out that's because he ran it on fumes all the time, you gotta have fuel in the tank to keep that pump cool
My 2004 Chevy Astro has 3.5 inches of play in the steering wheel. It’s fine! I just have to pay more attention to my driving is all. 😉👍😂🔧🧰
Always welcome ol Wes,makes things interesting.
Me, being German, with environmental restrictions on cars and inspections getting stricter and stricter, paying a CO2 tax on fuel, then watching this car. Un-fucking-believable.
The Andrew Camarata dash mods seem to be popular. I think he has 2 versions, the chainsaw and the pry bar. I couldn't tell which you had there. :-) As always, great vid. Always a bonus to see Mrs Wes and Max the pup too.
Why does everybody pick on Dodge's?... I've owned and driven all 3 ... they can all b hunks of shit.... everybody hates dodge....oh well...great videos man👍
Got to give it credit for still running after 2+ decades of neglect.
You and Eric O are my go to for automotive entertainment
Fix the A/C on that rig??? No way! A person shouldn't spend that much time driving that rust-bucket. LOL
If he ever gets into an accident with that truck it is going to fold up like cardboard. Great job fixing the truck Wes!
I did some pro troubleshooting on two of those in tank pumps. Turn key on, note no nifty whirring sound, firmly punch center of tank, hear pump run...buy new pump assembly. :D
damn that's a nice dodge
Find one from Texas, Arizona, Utah Calif where there is no road salt!
Hello buddy i have the same year but i have van 1500 and i just replace the wide pipes but mine 5.2 liter with 157on the clock fuel pump was done last year awesome video go dodge
I really love your you tube videos & Mrs Wes is awesome! What a joy watching a coherent, honest-to-goodness repair of an over worked work truck. Great diagnostics and repair. You just added a least four more years to that trucks life. They must not use barbed wire on that farm because I’m surprised you didn’t see any holding some part of it together.
It was probably holding the mufflers before they fell off!
After that catalytic converter workover, you might want to title your upcoming videos "Wes Doesn't Work Here!"
The EPA part made the video. Then the blur omg love it
Lmfao at the Andrew Camarata Easy access Dash Pad yep typical 90s Doge Ram There @Watch Wes Work
Finally....after all these years....the special language that helps release the connector....10:54....Wes is real!!
About 30 degrees of play in the steering? Isn't that "factory standard" for a Dodge?
I love that blacked-out area when you had to alter the catalytic converter flow rate. That was pricless!! Doing a great great job. All the best from Canada
"turn it on but don't try to start it" *crank crank crank*" "hey!"
Boy, that sounds like a conversation I've had with my wife a few times.
Down here in Alabama we have the same emissions the first thing they do is cut off all the missions and straight piped out the back and they honest-to-goodness think it gives them more power I know because I've asked them I'm not talking just about older cars they do it's a new one two you can literally hear them from miles away LOL
I believe Wes statement that in cases like this, deleting the cat would give more power. Other cases, you might win couple of HP and maybe, a little in fuel economy because keeping cat process going does need some fuel.
Besides that, when you sell the cat you make enough to make a payment or two.
I heard, if you use a air hammer on the inside of the kitty it breaks up the guts a lot quicker.....
Excellent my man , your work is finished here and Max is letting his hair blow back living the dream .
I can't believe he didn't do a rodent scan of that Dodge. Seem like he's been shirking his duties lately.
@@bmacd2112 I don't think any rodent gets by Wes ,he has like a super natural internal "rodent radar " that runs 24/7 . Probably has a T-shirt hidden under his work shirt with a large "R " on it . Ready to be shown at the first scent of a " RAT " .

The door holder opener 2000 is the only use for that style of clamp. Those are the ones you get in a kit and never use.
Thanks for the video, I drove a dodge farm truck from a field to a guys yard for him about 12 years ago. Man the steering wheel felt like it was connected to the box with a tarp strap it handled so bad. I kinda hinted it maybe needed steering/suspension component work. About 2 weeks later the guy had a new truck. Apparently he took it into a shop to get fixed and they told him go buy a new truck it would be cheaper. over the years I've driven others trucks, it becomes apparent some people get used to things like steering/suspension as it progressively wears. If you want to know how bad it really is get somebody else to drive it and they'll tell you. Take care.
our company 93 Ram is so bad, 99.999999% shops here wont even bother to inspect it much less work on it. maybe when the entire front suspension falls off, owners will scrap POS. nah, they'll just get Joe blow shady tree to bailing wire it back together
Who cares if it's safe to drive as long as the A/C works. I have dealt with that my entire career. I do live in North Carolina though.
As a kid that drives a clapped 90's GM ex-plow truck in similar shape(my first truck), I appreciate you taking the time and effort to work on these clunkers. Gives me some hope that repairs can be made and it's not a lost cause.
We can keep anything running if the pockets are deep enough.
@@WatchWesWork I'm afraid i already have had to dig deep into my pockets, 1200$ to replace the 5.7L after it lost all oil pressure, still not sure what happened. Gas pump I filled up at had water in their fuel, went downhill from there...
This Must be a very sentimental Truck or the owners tighter than a Duck's Arse!!!
Damn, recently Im starting to really like the looks of the Rams, they are very uncommon sight here
I remember seeing some shitty action series on tv that centered around some late 90s, early 00s cars fitted with some made up advanced technology to catch baddies or something, it featured one of these trucks, a black or grey one I think.
Ram 2500 are HUGE trucks. You don't see them too often here in Germany. You won't ever find a parking lot where it fits in and it's very expensive to operate a truck of that size. I almost forgot how huge they are, until I saw one about two weeks ago.
I always associate this style with Walker Texas Ranger.

@@henryholliday1 the one in twister was a 2500 V10
Dodge...for when you want a vehicle to look cool in for five years, but made to last 3. We had an old 1977 F-150 in West Virginia. Working a cattle farm and driving when you are 14 was awesome. We loaded that truck down with hay, cattle feed, corn and salt bricks. Sometimes a dead heifer. It had a headache rack in the back that came off a tank. Big winch to pull stuff up. Everyday up and down the mountain, through a creek. That truck was a beast. Then we got an 84 Ram 1500 in 88. That thing broke all the time. Traded it for a Toyota Tundra. That truck still runs on that farm. If you ever eaten a Smashburger, that's where the meat comes from.
Anyone else want to see more of the AC repairs?
I've done a few videos on A/C repairs.
at 5:31 in the video and im thinking its got to be more than just a fuel pump bc the video is 30 mins long we will see if i am right...
Hey AC is important on a farm truck.

Great fix as always Wes. Can those death traps be taken out of state? If its legal in illinois is it legal everywhere else. Kind of glad that here in the UK we have annual safety checks, that Dodge would be weighed in for scrap by now over here!
I'm pretty sure you could drive that to anywhere in the states. If you move to a state that requires an inspection, then I don't know and I'm curious myself. Here in Michigan that's probably still a $2000-$3000 truck

@@johnbauer7658 Yes you can drive any where in the US. In Tennessee, if you move in you have 6 months grace to obtain your Tennessee plates unless you're active military and stationed here. So remember if you move here and are stopped with out of state plates, you need to tell the officer you've only lived here 3-4 months !!!! Save that fine for registration fees. And yes if you move to a state with inspections, you'll have to get it inspected once you register the vehicle or else you're subject to a fine.
Here in Germany we have two year safety checks on everything that's below 3,5 t and annual safety checks on everything that is over 3,5 t.
A chunk of rust like many of the cars Wes' customers own will not be allowed to drive even one additional centimeter when you try to get a safety stamp on it. It will not even be allowed to be driven to the scrapyard under its own power. Also the police has an eye on vehicles that look like they probably have safety issues.
Welcome to illinois. Of you have $146 and something to screw a license plate to you are good to go. In california that goes if you have $600 , something you can screw a license plate to that passes smog, you are good to go.
