@@SuperchiefApache the repair parts come with drain holes

@@rtrgearheads ahhh!

@@SuperchiefApache Yessir

@@tannerveron2973 I used the truck accessories that came in the donor vehicle. I did however switch water pumps and used a spacer kit from ITC Billet for that

@@user-ln6sx9nt7e it’s been a while but if I remember correctly, I unhooked the switch down by your feet and ran a jumper wire between the two

@rtrgearheads ok thank you

@user-ln6sx9nt7e anytime you have a question with one of the videos, shoot a message and you’ll usually have a reply within 2 days. Keep in mind, bypassing the brake switch for me, was for testing purposes only

@rtrgearheads yes me also I think the thing I'm working on has a Mercury switch gone haywire I'm just Eliminating possible problem switches

@@user-ln6sx9nt7e with the Gravely, I ended up going through the three distant safety that it had, bypassing each one individually to see if any of them was issue. Seat pressure switch is the same way

@@TheSlugger76 just a little bit

@@rubikrai4187 I’ll try to get update out later today or tomorrow

@rubikrai4187 what issue are you having with your EX?

@@bobveld4705 one of my work vehicles

@@litiviousspartus4611 one of my work vehicles

Why not?

Exactly!

@@christopherbaldwin3346 yes they are

@@SuperchiefApache I try brother

@@leekosmoove it sat for 2-3 years with about half a tank of fuel and fuel gummed up and killed pump assembly and in-tank filter

@@SuperchiefApache I decided it would be better a project for brother-in-law and nephew as father son project. It was just sitting in driveway and I barely drove it

He knows his stuff

It wasn't when I bought it and it isn't now. My soon to be daily

Something there for many of preferences

He’s going to revive it. Probably cab swap and some other obvious things

Yeah I know it’s solenoid. Guess some pronunciation is based off of where you are geographically

Thanks brother! I’m hoping he saves it and swaps cabs

Very true story!

Nice truck

@@christopherbaldwin3346 this is his next project. Hopefully we’ll be putting an LS in it also

Thanks! Hopefully have a video of her running in a few days

Thanks brother! A lot of work put into it to get to this point. I’ll be happy when he gets it back from paint

Been a long time coming! This beast sat in a field in Oil Trough Arkansas for years. My cousin said, “Come get it!” The rest is history!

@@SuperchiefApache true story

Thanks brother!

Yeah they do! We’ve had several of them.

Definitely!

NO

Thanks brother!

He’s working on getting used to filming and the difference between shorts and full length orientations

Well Billy, it is a Commando green and “fairly” dark. Been using a great deal of your techniques in this restoration.

@@SuperchiefApache you’ve been working hard on the truck brother

There are 4 bolts that hold the tank itself on. Once that is off, you have access to the air filter box. There are a number of bolts that hold the lid on that, remove them and the lid. There are also a number of bolts that hold the bottom of the air filter housing. There will be a few hoses to disconnect. When the bottom of the air box is removed you will have access to the carburetors

When we got the bike, it was locked up bad. The main focus has been on engine work. We have to take it apart again because the head gasket seems to have been nicked during installation. What specifically are you looking for? I can try to get more footage of what you’re looking for is top end work

I have the same ninja, it's been sitting in the garage for a few years. It needs a complete carburetor removal, cleaning and installation. I have taken so many plastic parts out of it, it would be helpful to remember where and how these parts go back

@@vatcheohanian2565 As far as plastics, if you are talking about the body fairings, we will be doing an install video on this one and the blue one that we have also. As far as the carbs, once the fuel tank and air box is off, pretty simple to remove the carbs. I would suggest not separating the carbs from each other but to clean them as one unit. If you were to separate them, the connections between them are made of plastic and more than likely brittle and not easy to find replacements. We’ll probably be doing full length videos for the fairing installs. If you check the Ninja playlist that we have, there are also a few shorts on the other one we have

Thank you for the tips. I will keep on checking your videos. I assume I would need some gaskets for the carburetor, correct? Are gaskets easy to find? I'll keep the carb in one piece, won't separate them.

@@vatcheohanian2565 There are rebuild kits for the carbs on eBay and Amazon. Come with bowl gaskets, floats and pretty much all you need to rebuild them. This is the kit I got: www.ebay.com/itm/334544034148?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=1ycxkpaqr5w&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=kBPVzK8WSmq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

And moving under its own power

I was at one location in the morning and went to the other for this truck because I knew there was shade haha!

Definitely trying. So many vehicles to work on right now

3rd time is a charm I guess

Thanks! I had to remove front calipers temporarily just it can move under its own power once I get tires on the front that hold air. I have temp fuel tank hooked up to the actual mechanical fuel pump and it does run. It seems to be all original. There should be an update video coming out on this one next week sometime

@@rtrgearheads I wish I could be lucky enough to find such a beautiful old gal. You definitely gotta keeper there bud.

@@Ruined_Bikes_and_Yardz this one is a friend’s. I’m helping out to get some of the vehicles started on the farm so he can move them around as needed. I’ve started to like the Dodge a bit

We have to see if we can get it running first. I think this one might have a little sentimental value with the owner. I’ll answer back on here once I talk to him and see if we can get it running

The truck was bought at an auction because he didn’t want it to get scrapped. Truck is not in good shape and would probably take another truck as a donor to rebuild it. What area are you in?

@@rtrgearheadsSell it to him!

It’s not mine to sell but will check with owner.

I can always ask the owner and I’ll let you know

I talked to owner today. He got the truck at an auction because he didn’t want it to get scrapped. Truck is not in good shape and would probably take another truck as a donor to rebuild it. What area are you in?

Since 2020 brother

One of them. We might have another EK that were building up from shell

@@rtrgearheads nice, keep wrenching on the JDM stuff, people beginning to forget how buildable these platforms are

@@DreamsOfGaruda Definitely going to keep one or two of them.

It’s been sitting for a bit. Hopefully I’ll be getting out a full length on this one soon

@rtrgearheads it's only a matter of time before it gets fixed up, painted up, and has a nice sound system inside. That truck bed will also have a few empty cans of monster in it!

@@christopherbaldwin3346 no, it’s not my truck

This one is his off-road specific vehicle

Yes the new ones are not real Jeeps anymore. This one was made for no road use at all by the owner

He’s been working big time on it

I’m sure Tommy will be on here soon to thank you!

Thanks Bondo!!! I followed your rules….AND you RULE!!

@@SuperchiefApache Pretty good brother!

Tommy might chime in also, but we hope this channel allows viewers some information to use on their projects. Not all of our tactics are normal or recommended but when it comes to Tommy’s Apache, it’s all safely done

It’s a little younger than Chief though. It’s either an 81 or 83 C60

It happens brother

What brother?

@rtrgearheads I can imagine Swifty driving one of these trucks around! It reminded me of a TDY I went to and rental car prices were through the roof, and I ended up renting a Uhaul truck for $45 a day as opposed to $250 a day per rental car!

@@christopherbaldwin3346 I can imagine that also

Going to setup temp fuel system for it to get out of the dirt. Was parked, I believe, because in tank pump went out. Once we get internal pump replaced, will definitely use your advice there. Thanks!

Just to make sure, was this a question or just a comment?

@@rtrgearheads this is a question,my English is bad sorry I use google translation

@canerylmaz1649 Blue smoke typically means oil has leaked and mixed in with your fuel during combustion. If it’s only on acceleration, that sounds a lot like a valve stem seals or valve issue.
