- A great conversion project that no one has ever done before.It is almost 2 years since i created this and it works better than ever.Watch out for random cattage!Cjaa motor swap. speed manual.
This is so crazy to have Dave back. Its like being in middle school again
I mean, that’s what he likes, middle schoolers lmao
@@user-fc6hj2ou3zI heard that you are a huge supporter of the Ligma movement. 🎉🎉
@@user-fc6hj2ou3z haha
Love seeing your videos Dave, im so glad youre back to making content. Your diesel conversion on these vans are so professional, looks like a pro shop did it!
a pro nudist did it. i never wore anything but shoes during my last 2 conversions.
@@davidbrock4506 Hi David how are you?
Lol, that's one way to do it. I recently got a mini van for the first time. She gets 37mpg.
Missed your cheap ass for a while there. Nice seeing your informative nature and work ethic again. Tony the cat may be Wolfie reincarnated wanting to bite those tires!!
Cheers
Walt Whitman would be proud of you!@@davidbrock4506
Dave!!! I used to watch your videos when I was a little kid about 8 years ago, I just got this urge to find your account and I’m so happy I did this is so nostalgic.
daves farm was the best channel ever produced on youtube! you rock mr brock
That’s so awesome Dave, I remember watching your video on the diesel caravan way back when you had the boxy early 90s model. You’re such a smart guy, keep up the great work
Hey Dave, I hope you bring back the cold start videos in the snow, they were always my favorite.
I used to watch your videos when I was in Middle School and now I'm in my thirties. I am glad that life is moving forward for you and that you are able to make content that everyone can enjoy
what are you supporting a child rapist?
Thank you David for another great video as always.
Love to see you are doing well Dave, I’ve watched since the conception of Dave’s farm.
Damn dave its great seeing you back. I followed the main channel and the archive. Its great seeing you back i have not forgot you were one of the top youtubers. Please keep it up.
This guy just never disapoints. You rock dave
God, That Is Awesome! Glad You Gave Us A Update On The Diesel Grand Caravan Dave! Thank You.
This is a great video definitely had some classic daves farm vibes 👌
Your diesel van conversions are awesome diesel vans are so cool
I love that your Van is a Manual. I also love the random Catage lol.
thank you. every vehicle i have driven on the street since 1991 was converted to manual and turbo charged and or wrong fuel.
Missed your videos Dave. Watched them all back in the day
you rock dave
Hey Dave! Drove by the farm today. Glad to see you’re doing well.
i did not see any beer dropped off.
@@davidbrock4506 bahaha the gates were closed I didn’t want to barge in. Next time I’ll bring some any preference?
i only where shoes at the farm. thats why the gate is locked.James ready.
Your conversion looks so neat under the hood like if it were factory. Chrysler should have offered a Diesel, but the manual transmission was gone in 1995.
it also feels factory to drive it.much more dependable now. i used all the vw motor mounts. just had to make spacers to lower the engine.
europe got a 2.8 diesel
version with the automatic transmission
@@vmr6666 i know. mine is more fuel efficient and 6 speed and fast.
@@davidbrock4506 yeah, my uncle had a factory diesel one and it wasn't very good, it used like double the fuel compared to yours
Love the latest "diesel conversion" Dave - really like that!
I did notice though that your 4-legged hairy "evil one" appears to be starving - should feed him more....🤣😅😆
how much should you feed a 20 pound cat?
@@davidbrock4506 I suggest an increased mixture of Kitten'Kaboodle/Tuna/ many kitty treats mixed with some chicken and beef and perhaps some Turkey too. His food bowl must never be empty and just like a farmer who milks dairy cows you will have the honor and privilage of cleaning out his "personal" office daily - sometime twice a day! 😈👿😈👿🙀
can you help me afford a hole for him after his heart attack?
@@davidbrock4506 Well the other direction to go Dave is to have him follow the high "turkey" protein diet my 27lb evil one followed w/exception of the last 2 years he was with us. It involved releasing him every other day year around so he could keep the wild turkey population controlled and thinned out. He also took care of most of his personal needs when outdoor which translated into having to clean his office out maybe once a month?
"Evil" primairly used up one his 9 lives via old age as Turkey is very lean. He was around 25 years old or so.....
tony's mom used to weigh 20 pounds. now that she is old and dying she weighs about 3.5 pounds.
Man, all the crap what happend.. Good to see you alive and well. And behave buddy, don't let them get to ya,
Happy new year David
If Detroit would build these, and they can, and sell them at a reasonable price, they couldn't build them fast enough.
Practically no one would buy them though
Awesome video
I love these vans. It has the old original 1980s look. If you go to the Henry Ford. They have a Caravan on display
That's such a cool swap
Had an '86 Ford Tempo with the Mazda RF 2.0 Diesel & a 5 speed manual. They put the diesel in the Escort too, but very few in either. It was awesome, got around 50 mpg.
VT247
Can't wait for more videos if and when u can
bigger tires have more weight, I did the same to one of my car, and fuel economy didn't change you've got lower rpms but because of the weight engine have to make more work to spin them. and there is the same outcome.
Thank you David farm
I did do a driving video of my Buick Regal with my camera mounted underneath the headrest with one piece of tuck tape you’re idea helped Dave 😎
Greetings from germany dave. They sold the older gen caravans here as diesel. But your generation came here as a rebaged lancia voyager this was avaliable as a diesel. A few models we got rebaged part of the fiat Chrysler deal. I had a rebaged dodge journey sold as a fiat freemont 2.0 diesel. 😅
Hi Dave could you do a driving video of your Maroon 2002 Dodge Caravan?
I remember you from the old mastermilo times :)
I also lived right near you on stoneybrook crescent!
Hi Dave! Just discovered your videos. Yve been wanting to swap a CJAA into my 71 Wesfalia for years. I have a 2009 Jetta automatic as a donor. I will be watching all of your video's. Thanks. I might have a few questions' in a future. Im from Montreal.
ok, let me know. several people have done this before.
I remember the van motor blow with the can on the motor it caught fire
I think it would have been very fitting to use a VW Routan van instead of a Caravan. Routan’s are rebadged Chrysler minivans
they cost more and rust more.
Let me put it this way.. not everyone can do a conversion like this, it takes quite a lot intelligence to know how to do this. I remember many years ago you put a VW diesel engine in a Chrysler voyager of some sort, an older model it was, maybe a late 90´s.. ? Thanks
An economy map and some dtc deletes and it would be as good as can be.
Too cool
you should import a Diesel Caravan from Europe 🤣, i was speaking about Davidsfarms the other day to one of my buddy and today i checked YT from archives i did not know that you were back online reminds my of the Good ol' days of 2007-2010
I love my vw golf 4 1.9 tdi with a 2.5 TDi turbo from a vw transporter 2.5 tdi so has approx. 220 hp in my vw golf 4 1.9 tdi and it is from 09
I’m curious if you have any footage of the original build of this van… I remember when you built this one back in the day. I’m most curious about mating the VW and Chrysler CV half shafts as I have a similar project planned of putting one FWD transaxle into a different brand of vehicle.
i have a complete video series on this build. just watch it.
@@davidbrock4506Thanks, I see video #19 on the axles... this must be a different build than what I remembered from long ago - I think it must have been the maroon van, which must have been your second build.
Your probably thinking of the old blue caravan which was after the white one. Then it was the maroon one and now this. He didn't make any videos installing the diesel on the maroon one they where on the blue one
Did you delete all of your old videos? were you forced to take them down? you have fans out here that need updates! Best wishes, nice to see stuff again
i still have most.
Still have the farm and a non-farm? Sweet
I always like watching you Frankenstein these vans together over the years, my favorite was the white one you did (I think maybe that was the first one?). How did you overcome the security systems for both cars to make them work together?
get the software deleted.
Whered you go man! @@davidbrock4506
I miss the bees videos
Your lawn isnt very big dave but it looks very nice how short do you cut it? What mower do you use you should do a video on grass cutting
i use a 1990 lawnboy 2 stroke.
I was going to say (before hearing of some part replacements), I wouldn't have been comfortable with many of the (newer cheaper models) stock dodge parts to handle the new upgraded performance. Nothing Dave can't fix tho.
Hey david hows life been got my van fixed and running
When you were changing the diesel engine from white van to the blue van. How come you didn’t use the 1989 dodge van. The light blue one you scraped?
Hey Dave. I may have cracked your motor mount mystery. I kinda wanted to do a similar swap in spite of my preference to diesels that run alternative fuels. Looked in a 5th gen caravan. Didnt see any with a short wheel base. Had a brain fart. Noticed neighbors dodge journey has a 4 cylinder from factory. So i look up if anyone has done a swap for a dodge journey. Low and behold. The dodge journey actually had an option for a 2.0 VW TDI ......from FACTORY ! ! ! It was just a quick search. It was probably only available in Europe, but has my attention. Im gonna research it more when I get home.
i think journeys are poor quality and they rust bad. a caravan will last much longer.
@@davidbrock4506 yeah they had lotta electrical issues till atleast 2011. but did shed some light on the VW/dodge mount stuff. Amazing how after 40+ years, chrysler is still doing stuff thats reminicant of a the dodge omni with 1.7 vw driveline. If i was to do the swap, id get a rust free one and drown the under carridge in chassis oil. I actually tried looking for a omni/horizon to swap my jettas driveline into just for spite, but there all rotted away even worse than the jetta or too expensive. People on multiple forums (chrysler of vw) says a 1.6 diesel /5 speed is a direct bolt in for a omni, but no documented proof found.
the diesel and gas engines fit the same.@@giberish9
Still got the loader. I seen you listed it for sale a while ago
i got it.
good update
Glad to see your still around Dave. I'd still like to come up to Canada and hang out with you for a few days. Hello from North Carolina, USA
HOWDY!
Hey Dave you haven’t made any videos where have you been?
i have been involved in a private project.
@@davidbrock4506 oh wow you’ve been busy I have been busy too I work Monday to Friday as a parts driver and I’ve been trying to get some in-depth reviews on some cars as well on my channel
Could you do a update on your maroon van?
Fall updates when?
Dave can I get in contact w/you? It is just so awesome to see you again! Ben from GA
wait u drove 340kms in under a 1/4 tank????
Yes sounds about right
Hey Dave just wanted to ask you a question in regards to modifying a 1938-desoto engine. It has a flathead inline 6 228.1 ci Engine with 3sped manual 1st and reverse are not synchronized and has to be double clutched to shift gears.
My question is what would it take to put an automatic transmission in place of the 3spd or is that even possible?
you need a custom flywheel and an adaptor plate
Flex fuel means that it also burns buck ah bottle beer
Does the VW cluster throw all types of check lights? Did you ever get the speedo to work?
the grey van speedo works perfect. there is many lights on the the v dub cluster .
No more videos Dave we all miss you
He had a foot operation
Oh
Does that thing come with a 5.9 Cummins?
Neutral Drop what's it got stuntman
Any winter updates David?
He had a foot operation
@@JayGubby ...
What do you use for towing now, I know you used to keep one of the gas ones for it, Have you managed to have the A/C working on either of these ones?
i dont tow. i have not made custom ac pipes yet.
Hi, i am in Alberta. How can i get a hold of you? thx.
someone made a facebook page with my contact info.
What’s wrong with the 98 Dakota
Do you still have the old grey IDI F250? Would love to see a start up video if so!

BRING BACK THE TALI BEES AND THEIR WEAPONS OF ASS DESTRUCTION!

yes.
Upload more
How's the maroon van doing?
just a chattery pressure plate.
Do you still have the dump truck and Chevy swapped front loader?
got the loader sold the dumper.
Are you still changing the motor in the maroon caravan?
have not made up my mind yet.
Will you do a start up on a caterpillar engine.
I think you still have the dozer
i dont have a cat engine.
@@davidbrock4506 sorry I meant the dozer engine for some reason I thaught it was a cat, it’s been so long I don’t remember.
@@chox2001
Seems like the dozer was International but I could be mistaken.
Hey dave, does the air conditioner work after the conversion?
i did not get custom aluminum pipes made yet.
Hi dave just wondering did you do a video on air guns meny years ago thanks
modified ones.
@davidbrock4506 thanks I was going to try what you did with the welding gas myself
Is the little turbo wagon still alive?
Dave sold it
Why did you have a Volvo power steering pump?
it is electric.there is no place on the vw motor to mount a pump.
When u gonna get the go cart back out
when not so hot.
Do you think you’ll sell the cheviac or keeping it forever?
no sure
Do you still take visitors at your farm?
yes.
Update on the Go Kart coming soon?
yup.
Hello mates, this is your crazy british bloke. how's everyone doing.
Omg how are you? So you don’t do CZcams anymore?
@@bigbadmower5283fake account
I heard bloke was dead…
Fake
Blokes dead I thought
Anymore cars that you sold?
not sold any for 2 months.
hi dave I have been thinking would I have yoir permison to make a game map of your farm for a game called BeamNG drive. it would be based off your old videos on youtube.
you can
@davidbrock4506 thanks dave.
@@downloaderbyproxy93 if you do make it, let me know. I do play that game. There was a map of his farm before but it got deleted.
once its ready I will be uploading it on my youtube. not sure how long it will take me @@shawns_gaming_channel13
@@downloaderbyproxy93 take your time bro
You should outfit it with some hidden cameras & bring it to the local Chrysler Dealership.
*CUSTOMER STATES:* Poor Gas Mileage. Won't Even Run on Gas Actually. Set Tire Pressure. Please Advise.
Was that a hard swap?
sure was . more than 150 hours.
When is the next vid? I’m just wondering
@@detroitdieselseries5071😒 wasn’t asking you
been lazy cause i am having painful foot problems,waiting for my operation.
@@davidbrock4506hope you feel better soon
Could you do an update video?
on what?
@@davidbrock4506the go cart?
maybe.@@JayGubby
Have you fixed the cheviac?
no because i dont have a battery.@@JayGubby
I sure admire this build, but... 55 mpg and 200+ km/h? That would make it more efficient than any petrol car, close to the tiniest diesel superminis, yet faster than a 204hp TDI Multivan. Think you need some real-world measurements.
Whatever happened to the gray 94 Buick Regal with the jesus sticker
Scrap
@@JayGubby I didn't ask you
@@gameseumllc7589so I told you what happened to it
@@gameseumllc7589he was letting you know what happened to it if Dave’s not there to respond this guy knows what cars are still at the farm and you don’t have to be rude about it be kind of
@@JayGubby hey man at least you know what cars are at the farm and if Dave not here to respond to people and you here for him so people don’t have get mad at you so I got your back man have a good day man
My god Tony got fat lol
Wtf am I watching 😂

I love my 2003 golf with the ALH. Even tho it is an automatic. I got it for 400 dollars and all it needed for safety was front brake pads.
