Pulling Ol' Greens transmission
After looking on amazon for a while, I found a rebuild kit for Ol' Greens transmission. It is a bearing and seal kit which doesn't include any gears. I pulled out the transmission and inspected it to see if the gears are still good enough.

Ol' Green, Back on the Road?
zhlédnutí 266Před 21 dnem
Here is a link to the video I made several years ago detailing what all I did to Ol' Green. czcams.com/video/d5TNt_oy7kw/video.html I have had several questions about Ol' Green lately. I wanted to make a video telling why I haven't been driving her or making any videos on her. It turned into somewhat of an experiment to determine if thicker oil would help with the noise in the transmission. It ...

Steering gear on the trike
zhlédnutí 191Před 2 měsíci
I got a rack and pinion steering gear installed in the trike, which should be much better than the four-wheeler steering that was on it before. I did put some new valve stems in as well, and got the tires to hold air, that part didn't record because I got a text message while the video was recording and it cut off the video without recording it. At least it was a little bit of progress.
Centurion is Back! Thank you everyone for the advice
zhlédnutí 171Před 2 měsíci
I got the problem fixed! It was a wire in the harness to the O2 sensor. Two wires were touching just enough to cause the fuel mixture to go extremely lean. It was not supplying enough fuel to keep the engine idling. I appreciate the suggestions from everyone, It did end up helping.

I was going to work on the trike in this video, but the Centurion has developed a problem. I have been trying to diagnose it but needed help figuring it out. I tried all the usual things to try and make it run, and it still isn't right. I think maybe it might be bad fuel, but I'm not sure of that.

Diesel Heater Battery Backup Mod: PREVENT SUDDEN SHUTDOWNS!
On my "2014 Chevy equinox 2.4....260,000 miles" Ive done the PCV valve clean out tip with drilling into the intake manifold. I also cleaned off a bunch of metal shavings and gunk off of the vvt solenoids. It has helped tremendously with the vehicle going into limp mode. I'm thinking about doing this trick with the oil cap but I wanna ask you if it affects the brakes since your splicing into the booster?
Thanx!
My man not only had to become a mechanic in order to own a 2.4 but also had to become an engineer and inventor. Kinda makes you wonder why smart people like this buy these turds in the first place. I wonder this about myself. But my 2017 terrain will be paid off soon( owe $2,500) at 90k miles and burns 1.5 qts in between 4,000 mi oil changes . It will be sold/traded in for what ever I can get and I’m washing my hands with GM. And even American made vehicles from now on. The quality is trash. Sadly enough, if a man wants a reliable vehicle now days he’s gotta buy a foreign.
Well in this case, I didn't buy it. It was inherited. It's sad to see that in 2017 they still hadn't fixed the issue. I probably would never buy anything this new, just not my style. After seeing how much stuff there is to go wrong in newer cars, screens, and buttons everywhere, even on the steering wheel. The computer controls everything, including all the lights and plastic covering the entire engine compartment. I looked at my brother-in-law's 2020 Camry, it's the same way all bells and whistles and fancy stuff that will break and just become a nuisance. I'll stick to my older stuff with actual style and easy to work on. My wife loves it though so I guess I gotta keep it on the road. That being said after doing these mods I have to admit it doesn't use any oil between changes now, and starts up every time without fail. It is still a slow and badly balanced car though.
GM makes a vented oil cap. And I guess I don't understand you're trying to relieve the pressure from the crankcase and you're hosing it back into the crankcase😂
The vented oil cap does help, but doesn't resolve the issue. In this case I am relieving the crankcase pressure by using engine vacuum. It is not hosing into the crankcase. It is going into the brake booster line which is hooked to the intake manifold. That is how all car engines have been since 1961. GM decided they would reinvent a system which has worked great for 63 years and failed horribly. In this case it works great. I don't add any oil between changes now. I still do the Seafoam cleaning every oil change as well just to keep the rings free.
How to make a pms out of a alternator
Not the best engineering with too many losses here. Solar is the way to go instead of water power, way too much maintenance for water.
Thanks for your insight. i have a 2011. How come the damn light doesn't come on when it's over a qt low is beyond my comprehension. Shame on Chevrolet. Shouldn't have to watch it like a 2 yr old child.
Yeah, they should have a gauge. Can't understand why they don't. Or like you said at least a light. In my case, I am used to checking oil every time I get gas, just a habit as it just takes a few seconds to check. With the mods I have done to this it doesn't use enough oil between changes to add any. I am going to add a gauge soon. I'll make a video of it when I do.
you cant fix them
coulda got all 4 gm sensors on ebay for 45-50 bucks
These seem to work like they should. They were half that price. I guess they should be replaced with every tire replacement anyway, so the cheap ones should be fine.
Moving the seat forward seems easier and more logical than the can of worms that is now open. (Steering column needs better support, rear axle needs relocated, frame needs stretched, gear shifter needs modified, turnsignal switch needs modified) or maybe just buy a big jeep.
@chrisstohr9618 only needed the steering wheel and shifter changed this way. I would have had to extend the footwells and pedals forward to move the seat forward. That would have been much harder. It drives great now.
Great idea and you'll be able to tweak the engineering to it later .
Great job
I wanted to see 0-60 on that driveway
I have a 98 express ex sheriffs van with the 6.5 turbo diesel has it ever been a pita with vacuum pumps solenoids and broken vacuum lines 😢
Interesting stuff as usual. Never boring! Thanks and God bless!
Very glad to see ole green back on the channel.
@@johnnymack8442 I'll sure be glad to be driving her again.
Hilarious...... But functional 😎👍👍
You just saved me $300 bucks. I did it and it actually worked! I did the whole yard and even cut small trees!
Great to hear you’ll be able to get Ol Green back to top running condition 👍🏻
I think I can bring her back around. I'm pretty happy to be able to drive Ol' Green again soon.
😂
Thanks, brother! Semper Fidelus. Way to get the word out there about proper and respectful protocol, brother. Glad you made it back alive. All gave some, some gave all. Freedom is never free.
Right on. Thanks for watching.
Thanks, Luke, for posting this video.I have a 15' Equinox and just did thousands of dollars worth of timing chain oil pump, etc. on it. There is still a ton of oil usage! I am definitely going to do your PCV fix, but what generic pcv valve did you use, what size hose, etc. if you dont mind sharing that with me? Im in IN and found your video crucially important, brother, so thank you. I pray you are doing well, I know what it's like to have health problems. I used to fix all my vehicle issues, but thats just not possible anymore. This fix seems within my abilities tho, so I will certainly be giving it a try. I cant thank you enough. God bless you bud! Eric
I can't remember a part number or anything for the pcv. It was one that was on the endcap at Autozone. I just looked at them until I found one that looked like it would fit the cap and the hose. The hose was either 11/32 or half inch. I think you could make either work. You also need a T of the same size to split the brake booster hose. It is still holding up well, and I don't have to add any oil between changes. I think the Seafoam cleaning helps free up the rings to help stop the blowby.
Sure glad it was in decent shape! Those older 3 speed trans are different from what we use to run in race cars! I was thinking they were the same but I was wrong haha!
Yeah it seems fixable. Looks like the needle bearings were getting chewed up, that was my noise.
I'm really glad that the transmission looks rebuildable. Looking forward to watching you do that. Watching your videos is, to me, certainly time well spent.
I'm glad too. I was expecting more wear after 600 K. It looks like it might have been replaced at some time. those markings on the bellhousing look like junkyard markings to me. I can't imagine the factory puts those on. I just can't remember it ever being replaced. I do appreciate your views and always look forward to your comments.
I'm BAAACK 😎. Brings back memories of my 67 Chevy pickup. Idiot hit me and totaled it 🥺. Had just put in a 283 in it and a floor shifter. I miss her. Hope your doing well Luke! As I always tell you: May God Bless You & Yours Brother! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍 🐊LOUISIANA🐊
Yeah, that is sad, I always hate to hear when an old classic like that gets totaled. Way too many idiots on the road. Same to you man, hope everything is going great.
That's great that you were able to find that kit Luke. I had a transmission gear years ago that had a very small crack that I didn't catch before putting it back together. Needless to say, that small crack got bigger when I put some load on the truck, and quit on me. When I opened it up, there were broken gear teeth lining the bottom of the tranny. Thanks for reminding me how much "fun" it was to work on them, lol. Hope your hand is okay.
Yeah, hand still aches a tad, not bad though. 20 years ago I wouldn't have even dropped it lol. Hope this one goes back together right, I guess I don't have any cracks in the gears. I'll have to examine it carefully. Thanks for the tip!
Luke you have a lot of common sense and a good work ethic. Keep on truckin’
I appreciate that. Gotta keep these classics on the road.
Tough job alone.
Yeah, kind of was. I didn't have as much trouble 25 years ago. Not that I'm getting old or anything lol.
If I add the PVC to the oil cap, is it necessary to clean and unplug the hole behind the intake?
@willjj46 probably not. I haven't cleaned it out since and it's still doing great.
14:23 I don't think it's due to TPMS measurement error. Your tire pressure pump is monitoring the upstream pressure. It will get to 36 PSI, while the downstream pressure will be 35psi just because of the pressure drop caused from line length and airflow. If you can set pressures, add 1psi to account for the drop.
Thanks for the tip. Makes sense.
How far along are you with the update, I would like to see if this is working.
@jacieldiaz3861 at this point it doesn't use enough oil to add any between changes. This last time it had only dropped about a quarter inch.
Gracias amigo
You are welcome.
Good video thanks
Glad you liked it.
Nice to see Ol Green again. Hoping you can get a permanent fix for the transmission 👍🏻
Thanks. Yeah it will work out I think. You tube notifications aren't very reliable, just saw your comment.
Well done, Sir. Thank you, and God Bless America...
@@davestelling thank you.
Have you ever seen a 3 on the tree with a reverse knob in the floor? I have a feeling mine is a 4 speed swap but I just can't find the 4th gear. Did it ever come from factory like that? It's a 72 g10. I can't find any information anywhere other than people talking about 4 speed swaps
I have never heard of that. Seems like something someone has made. Could be interesting if it turns out to be a four speed. Should be able to identify the transmission by the bolt pattern on the shift cover.
@@lukeFugate I just drove it a lil further than before and I am pretty darn sure I found a 4th gear, of course I forgot to look at the tranny
I learned to drive in my grandparents 72 C10. After my grandmother passed away PawPaw gave it to me about 1 year before he passed. It had been in my family as long as i can remember and the only thing i wanted to do was restore it. I started buying parts here and there until i nearly had everything as far as sheet metal, interior and wiring. I went to the river for a couple of days and when i came home my truck was gone. I called and made a police report then with the help of family and friends searched everywhere we could think of. Long story short a crackhead had stolen it and took it to the scrapyard because in Alabama you dont need to have a title after so many years.
@historybuff9276 oh gosh that's horrible! I really hate to hear that. I guess crackheads are a problem everywhere.
@@lukeFugate ,yes they are. I've moved from that town actually where I grew up. I hear that crackheads are being replaced with tweakers now. 😑
What size tires are those?
235 75 15 after the lift I could probably go a little bigger, but these are enough for this car.
I don't have all those tools or else I could of fixed this issue like you did on my 2016 Chevy Cruz manual transmission
A shop probably wouldn't charge all that much to mount the tires and program them. I just don't really like to let other people work on my vehicles.
@@lukeFugate Respect that.
I had an old car with the same issues- we put 90w in it and it worked perfectly! Only trouble was, to back it in the driveway at night and put it in second gear during cold weather because it wouldn't shift until it warmed up!LOL
Yeah, I could see that! I guess it might last a while now. She got even quieter after about an hour. No sound at all in third gear now.
Luke, could you rebuild the transmission?
I have found a kit online, just bearings, seals, and syncros. It would be worth a try if the gears aren't worn down. Thinking about ordering it and giving it a try.
My uncle had one 3 on tree in line 6 man I loved driving it around hills of Tennessee just like that one green too it poured down road threw hills we took it off a cliff once and it still ran good you couldn't hurt that truck if tried
Yeah, they are tough old trucks. This one has been through a lot. Many times it has hauled heavy loads it had no business hauling. Never had a bit of trouble.
It's nice to see Ol' Green again. I hope that your temporary fix proves to be not too temporary.
It was sure nice to be driving her again. I've put probably about 50 miles on her since adding the thicker oil. Third gear is virtually silent now and second isn't too bad as long as it has pressure on it. I found as rebuild kit on Amazon which is new bearings and seals, Also includes new synchronizers. I think I'll try it out and see if I can rebuild it. I just hope the gears are not worn too badly.
with 600,000 miles on it, you've gotta expect some wear on the gears ... hopefully just not enough to be the problem
@dsteele27 yeah I'm sure they will show some wear. For $150, it would be worth trying the rebuild kit just to see if I can save the original transmission. After driving her again, though, the 5 speed that I have laying around looks pretty good, lol.
Yall I made a trytoon boat out of foamular150 and pmf I used exterior house paint valspar I believe that was six years ago and this year I had to take a week and release sand and put two coats of paint on my boat it works. I get alot of looks & alot of laughs but my 8'X12' floating living room is tons of fun and all for less than 3k.
What do you guys use to wash this tank
I did the sea foam and let it sit over night. Gave it the beans the next day and it looked like a Stage 2 tune 24V. Felt bad for the car behind us
Piss poor engineering by the geniuses at GM
