Drove my 87 ram 45 minutes to a friends house, picked him up, drove 20 minutes into town to grab some lunch. Come back out. Truck fires up, put it in drive. Truck dies. Won’t start. Spent 20 minutes trouble shooting the aftermarket efi, the distributor. Couldn’t figure it out. Put everything back together, about to call a tow, friend decides to crank it one more time. Coil wire arcing to the firewall. Grabbed the electrical tape from the glove box, wrapped it up, been driving it like that for a year 😂

is there a possibility to measure paint thickness on aluminium or steel ? For example to use to measure paint thickness on cars?

I have the Benetech GM130 & I'm satisfied. 🤔😊

What's the name of the fastener you use at 10:11? Great video

My it yes

Hello, blogger, what is the size of this tool? It only has the size of the rivet on it but not the size of the tool. I'm confused. Is it what I want?

I did exactly what you did, went from 40s to 50 series. The drone was still there. Had two J pipes welded, drone gone and still sounds great.

Where did you get the bypass valve?

What is the part number thanks

Great job with the exception of putting the tires on backwards…

What is your feeeback after one year?

Tonka Trucks were patterned after Fords.

its not .006", or 6 thousandths off. It was a difference of .0016". The 6 at the end is ten thousandths and requires an outside micrometer with a veneer scale to measure. And I am betting that the dial "very near" calipers is the less accurate of the two. Wish that you would have used a true outside micrometer for the comparison.

How to know witch is my car size … my car is ram 1500 2022 rebel any info ?

Just put the rest of the tail pipe on and it will quiet down a bunch. 50's sound great all the same though.

I need one of these for my 1/16 scale ertl farm toy restorations, sadly this tool looks a bit too big for those. I need to get in tiny harder to reach areas

very nice. great work.

I wish I could buy that

Oh man...this is what mines doing. Brand new rebuild and brand new cable and seals. Still leaking. Problem is ...I can't reach it. Have to take the dang thing out. It's leaking like crazy

I wouldn't have "restored" it in the usual way either. It's too nice as-is. Nice job. 👍

Only the old tonka kids are allowed to comment…I wish tonka made these things again.

If you just buy tail pipes it gets alot quieter. Hell, strait pipes all the way out back are quieter than 40s dumped behind the axle.

When you drilled out the rivets on the control cap for the clam shell then took it apart why didn't you powder coat it before you put new rivets in

By using this valve your A/C will be cooler and work more efficiently also. No heat/hot water going into the heater core which is right next to the A/C evaporator inside the HVAC plenum box.

Will this work for testing cylinder head port thickness for porting?

Also, what clear coat did you use? Very smooth finish compared to ones I have tried.

Oh man, I did this job 3 TIMES. First one was to replace the original since I was having a sticky throttle pedal even after replacing the accelerator cable and cleaning the TBI unit on the S10. Well, that ATP brand lasted a week and the pedal started sticking again until I shot more lubricant down it. Got fed up and found a NOS GM Genuine cable for it and installed it with a new seal. I looked at the old seal and sure enough, just like you said, it was pinched, causing a noticeable loss of fluid and it burning on the exhaust pipe. Installed the NOS cable with the new seal and the pedal felt much smoother on takeoffs, but when I went to park and work underneath again, I noticed fluid dripping onto the exhaust AGAIN. So I took off the cable once more and sure enough again, the seal was pinched and squished in. Both times, I sat the seal onto the cable housing instead of into the hole in the transmission, and I think that's why it was getting pinched, I was letting the bolt push the housing into the tranny, and it was doing so at an odd angle. When I did it again today, I lubed it real good with Dexron, sat it all the way into the transmission, THEN I wiggled the housing into the hole. It went much smoother and straight in. The bolt didn't have to be used to push it down. So much rage just for a slight error.

5:55 that sounds so much better! Mean and growly without being obnoxious.

Are there minimum and maximum thicknesses that it will measure ? also i heard surface ruffness can facter in a bit ... tks fer the vid

I still have this one, in almost mint original state, standing here in my home. Used to play with it as a toddler, while sitting on the yellow body of it, digging dried beans in the living room. Only missing one Tonka sticker on the side and having a few paint scratches on the arm. Mine has black plastic grips by the way.

Always liked the smell of WD-40 on my trucks lol

I'm about to make the same change. I screwed up and bought Jegs version of 40 series Flowmasters and they are too loud and rappy is a great way to put it. Kind of has a sharp crack or snap when I whack the throttle or at medium hard acceleration. I want that gone. The 40s were great on my race car but not this built 401 FE in my 64 Galaxie fastback street car. Thanks for making this video, it gives me the info I need. Nice truck!

wow and this also used as an symbol of vehicle type in vigilante 8 arcade mobile edition

What no filler? Did I miss it?Was awfully pitted

Thanks for posting this hard to see it laying under the car

where to find the valve

I’m in the same predicament. I have 40’s and the drone at 60mph is awful. Did the 50’s address that?

👍👍👍

Been a fan of 50 Series mufflers for years. Excellent call on the change.

The right proportions with that second pair of wheels. Nice

Is there a link to this valve I need one for my vett damn it gets hot.

Mate great job where do you get the replacement window and retainer clips for the wheels 👍🏻👍🏻
