Why have only one project car when you can have three? Project Upggrayed
Do you ever buy something you shouldn't? I do all the time, especially with vehicles. Here I have my latest suspect purchase, which I hope to happily cruise off into the sunset with. Of course that would require finding time between the other projects.
The car is a 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, and here is the start of our journey together. Project Upggrayed - With two Gs for a double dose of G body [something].

A how-to, or maybe a how-not-to, on building your own DIY welding cart from mostly scrap and leftover materials. Is it good? Maybe. Is it cheap? Yes. Should you build one yourself? I don't know!

In this episode I demonstrate DIY flywheel balancing, if somewhat unsuccessfully, and then walk through the installation of the Doomsday Diesel Mercedes OM617 to Jeep AX-15 adapter. However I use a New Process Gear NV3550 instead of the Asin AX-15.

In the first episode of the Operation Plowshare saga, I introduce the plow truck, a 1976 GMC K25, and explain my history with it. I briefly go over why it was modified the way it is, and some of the issues with it. I also touch briefly on what the real Operation Plowshare was, which this truck gets its namesake from.

XJ Cherokee and MJ Comanche Trail Spares Kit
I love the idea.
Excellent video, great repurposing this product that I would’ve never really thought of before and the humor in the video tops it all off. Very well done! Thank you for sharing.
I'm gonna design front and rear bumbers for a Volkswagen Caddy. Nobody makes the steel bumpers I want. I'll add a tyre carrier and fuel and water carrier for the back. A winch plate up front. Oh yeahhhhh
I have a J20 we are rebuilding on our Canadian Haywire channel. It was my dads when i was younger and the wife found it for sale in a horse field where it had sat for 20 years.
Love this idea. Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed the commentary. You're funny.
is it possible to replace flywheel without having to remove the engine?
Possibly if you removed the hydraulic pump from the front, but I do not think that it would be any easier than pulling the engine out.
'PromoSM' 🙋
Yes this is better thank you
Get yourself a battery or air powered engraver. The vibrations from the engraver and the careful counterclockwise force backs these right out.
👍
What about the balance shaft?
Good point, the industrial version (this one) doesn't have a balance shaft. I'd forgotten to mention the car has one and the marks have to be aligned for it. The other video I'm referring to is for an industrial engine, which was the only reason I made this.
Better advice, don’t buy a Mitsubishi.
It's not a good engine, but for a skid steer that's going to get used 20 hours a year it should hold up. I hope. 🤣
one of the best engines made.
I get it, but you haven't uploaded for a really long time and you had some good content, so bring it back 😂
Mr Murphy must have been working over time on me that day. It was not a good one.
CZcams will kill itself. So far, they are doing a great job. I am really starting to hate CZcams. I have already canceled my subscription. It is horribly managed by the US government.
solid..
PERFECT thank you.
Did you have to deal with the thing being top heavy ?
Great and Lovely work mate 👏 I also built my own one few weeks ago but differently
I love it that’s a great truck and it’s awesome to see somebody still using it like it should be. Those trucks are build heavy duty and meant to do good quality work and for some of those of you that are haters if you take good care of these old trucks they take care of you and they last a long time, great video. By the way, I give this a thumbs up.👍🏽👍🏽😎
If you are looking to wast your time and money. The bumper superstore Is where you want to be at the got a scam going on where you pay for a product and they try to get more money out of you 2 months after the sale goes off They got me for a $3000 trailready bumper i paid in full for and never got
Beautiful❤
For being a cheap rear bumper the amount of work that went into building it definitely brought alot of respect and it doesn't look bad at all considering the amount of work aswell as not following the body lines as good as some bumpers. It looks awesome
You voice is awesome. Reminds me of my child hood homeboy Mr. Rogers
No frickin way dude! An 89 mj! I have a short box one on long arms and 33s I’m considering a swap on! 😊
Hey I seen your comment on using jet 2 oil in an engine and was wondering if you think it would work in a vw 1.9 diesel
I'm sure it would, but that might not make it a good idea. I'd think you would be better off using Shell Rotella T6 personally, unless there's some reason it doesn't work for you.
Appreciate it I was just curious
Beautiful
I assume your putting this into a Jeep? Could it be put back into the car. Hence a manj shift MB conversion. Would the driveline match and the shift lever position be correct?
You could put it back in the car if you used a 2wd AX-15 or NV3550. The 2wd variants of these are a little rare. Lengths would be different, you would need a new driveshaft most likely. The shifter position may not be ideal, I couldn't tell you. Both these transmissions are not car transmissions, and the gear ratios on them are probably not ideal. If you used a MB to GM adapter you could probably run something like a T56 and get better spreads, but 99% of people doing these conversions are putting them in SUVs/trucks so they want to use a truck transmission, so I don't know how much info is out there on using them in a car.
I just got my dad's 81 j 10 and omg I would love to see more videos
Entertaining. File cabinets are too flimsy frankly, the doors will end up not working well after a short time of moving it around would be my opinion. Just commenting for the algorithm. I need to make another cart, my current one made of two hf dollys and some 2x4 broke. Everyone seems to use straight wheels in back, my first cart was that way, I hated not being able to move it sideways at will.
File cabinets are available in a variety of qualities based on load rating. The one I used in a mid grade one and has zero issues with the heavy welder on top and being filled with clamps and consumables. I have many of the high grade ones for storing hardware, and some of them have hundreds of pounds in each drawer and been in daily use without failure. The cheap ones are only good for storing light articles like rags, gloves, respirators, etc, and I think that's what you're more familiar with.
muy buena la ilustración, pero, tiene un detalle negativo, este vehículo por defecto de su generación tiende a levantar temperatura por muchos evidentes factores, tales como, el herrero como componente número 1 en la estructuración de sus motor o engine, cabeza de motor hierro, block hierro, componente interno casi en su totalidad hierro, sus fan clucht estándar muy pequeño y la posición no es la más adecuada, el tamaño pequeño, aerodinámica y posición de su radiador totalmente desproporcionales, en la posición en la cual estas instalado este winch limita más de un 30 % la entrada principal de aire, por tanto considero que es una mala idea este procedimiento.
Good job man!!! Amazing!
Over head welding is not the kind of fun I plan for myself 🤣
Loved this and yes please
nice job bro
Please keep posting. I really enjoy your videos and you craftsmanship
I feel like I have watched all the diesel swap videos on youtube. I'm considering the OM617, Kubota, TDI and the R2.8 for my CJ8. This series has been among the best that I've seen, and honestly makes me reconsider the OM617. Keep up the good work, I hope more updates are coming!
To do this over right now, I would go TDI. It just fits way better.
Nice repurposing. Nice editing and commentary, very refreshing.
A G-body video, I love it! When is the 2004R rebuild video coming out? I have a couple questionable ones.
Great video. I am about to do a Mercedes OM 603851 swap in my 1980 Chevrolet C 10 pickup. I am looking for a mount from the engine to the frame, cross member. I am going to use the "clam shells" boltede to the engine cross member. Can you point me in the right direction how to get those engine mount? Maybe you got some drawings or pictures of that engine mount you used? Best regards.
Do u make adaptor for 2000 dodge Dakota v6 5 speed transmission
You should build a set of bumpers for my CJ7
Kept it simple. Great build
Where the hell is part 2. ??
Latest update?
Would you consider building a set of these bumpers front and rear for an xj for a client?
Sorry, I don't do any fabrication work for hire. I'm *not* a professional and for me to build something for you and make any profit on it would result in a very high price. But thanks for watching, and feel free to take the design to an actual professional if you want one made.
@@2drx4 man your work is professional!
GMC & Chevy produced those generation fullsize truck models from 1973 - 1991, except the half & three quarter ton regular cab pickups were discontinued in 1987 & the one ton regular cab pickups were discontinued in 1989. Also those generation fullsize pickups were the first GMCs & Chevys to have optional bigger cabs which were the crew cabs also introduced in 1973.
Great tutorial
What about on om606 with this kind of transmission
