After years of following you through a wide variety of situations with equipment, short term employees, other peoples emergencies, you are still very interesting and educational. Your knowledge, skills, ethics, work habits all continue to enhance you in an impressive and admirable manner. This situation highlights all those features and adds just another layer to the overall distinctiveness that is Warren. I’ve heard you express frustration and anger but I’ve never heard a word of resignation or despair, never seen you back away from a challenge, never witnessed you shy away from adversity. You, Sir, are an example many would be wise to emulate. I am still impressed by you.
Thanks for taking us along, Warren. Figures this happens when you are up to your behind in alligators...but your were fortunate to have the other engine. Don't give up on your Highboy swap idea...just file it away. That would be one stout truck, and about as simple and "hardened' as a guy could make it.
As fellow self employed mobile mechanic, this is my worst nightmare. I’m always on the hunt for another engine to keep on hand in case this ever happens. Best of luck sir! Always enjoy the info in your videos (when I have the time to watch them that is lol). Best of luck!
love your channel, I watch it for hours. I`,m 60, I was a diesel mechanic working ford a Ford tractor dealer after school every day from the 10th grade in 1979. I worked there for 6 years and I often went out in the field to work on tractors and equipment, I was very good. I later joined the Florida Highway Patrol, I was a Trooper for 26 years. i`m now retired and i`m still an excellent mechanic, i help my cousins who are farmers. Your one of the best mechanics I`ve ever seen. Keep the video`s coming.
Hey Warren, I’m sorry your engine decided to crap out on you. Doesn’t it figure when you are at your busiest. Hope you get it done with minimal problems. We are all pulling for you. Maybe it’s about time for another trip up to the auction. Thanks much for sharing my friend.
Sorry to see the old service truck went down. That’s like having 1/2 of the company on vacation. Glad you had a forklift to get the engine out, couldn’t use the crane. Thanks for the Videos, Warren. I sure do appreciate and enjoy them.
This is exactly why I laugh when people give me shit about running old service truck. 2006 F550 with a 6.0 that truck is loyal and easy to work on 😎💪🏼 wouldn’t trade if for any of this new shit with electrical/emissions issues. Keep your head up Warren, you’ll have your rig running before most people would even be done diagnosing it.
Warren, this wasn't what I was counting on you going through on Father's day. As usual you always come out swinging when your faced with "issues". Nice to see things are moving along according to your plan. Hope it all comes together for you and your back on the road soon. Cheers and best wishes from B.C..
I like how you said no use crying about it, just get after it. As I have tractor problems myself, I just need to get it fixed. I put a 1st gen Cummins with an nv4500 in a 76 Ford highboy. Excellent rig. I put a smaller turbo housing on it to spool quicker, and turned up smoke screw.
Been watching your video's since before you bought that truck and have wondered how long it would take for this to happen, of course, it had to happen this time of year. Really enjoy your videos and stories and of course those wonderful pups.
This brings back a lot of memories of having to get my truck fixed on a Sunday and being back to work out of state for 7am Monday morning. Keep at it Warren
Wow good job. My boss just bought a early 90s ford f800 with the 8.3 cummins. And after watching your videos. I was so happy to see it because I know how to work on it. Thank you for the videos they are so helpful😊
Warren, wow dude hate to see the old girl gave up ! One thing about you, you have a world of knowledge to work this out so that you can get back in the field with your service truck ! I will be waiting for your next video when she is purring down the highway best of luck , you are the man Warren with a big heart !!
I was waiting for the start solenoid to get chucked in favour of an old school «pull to stop»😂. Looks like you saved it! Handy having a spare engine 👍.
I remember you expressing concern about your service truck engine a year or more ago, well it made it this far ! This is bad for your work flow, but at least you can fix it, no one better. I hope you can swap it without any parts availability hold ups. You are a great mechanic, I’ve watched you do complicated stuff, this should be easy for you !
My 1st job while I was going to trade school for machine shop , The owner was a tool & die maker for Carter carburetor, He used to say a poor man has poor ways, I haven't heard that in years. I hope your engine swap goes well.
Great video Warren suck your old 5.9 is worn out. But looks like your getting the new 5.9 figured out. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Warren.
wish i could help you out man . out of all youtubers i learn alot on this channel you will get that 5.9 up and going feeding your family again take care God bless .
Thank you for the update. Happy Fathers Day from Nova Scotia. Always something unexpected to fix. That is what makes your channel so darned interesting. And seductive.
Young man, I do not envy the spot you find yourself in, I have been in a similar situation, but you are overcoming the issues, stay the course, you are going to win out sir, of that I have no doubt, thanks for taking us along on this one Warren.
Glad you caught a break on the compressor issue. Took some fan and thinking but as usual nothing that you can’t figure out. Can’t wait to see how it ends up. Thanks Warren for the great content. Bob in Pennsylvania
Warren!your the master fabricator, I’m sure we’ll hear this runnin dam soon,we’ve had it rain on our parade before,and you saved it then,you’ll repeat that mode,I’m sure,lookin forward to tomorrow.
I love seeing someone just make it work. No throwing your hands up and getting defeated. Just find a work around and get it done. Makes me happy seeing this.
You’ve probably already got this truck back up and going. But maybe your some viewers Would be interested. I’ve got 2000 Sterling SC7000 with less than 60,000, 5.9 ISB, Alison auto with PTO, currently equipped with a water pump. Runs and drives great. Well drives as great as any 32k CDL short wheelbase cab over with no weight can. Rear diff lock. This was a municipal street sweeper, now just cab and chassis, it is a dual steer truck. All tires Brand new, hot heat/cold AC. Just a good strong truck ready to go to work air brakes fully functional.
Good assessment for swapping all the parts. Can't wait for part two. Wishing you success with the next steps, so you have your truck on the road again 😊👍
Sorry to hear the engine gave up a cylinder on you. Great to see you getting on with it though!! Shame it’s at such a busy time, but was always going to be the case with you!! Get the original engine re-built, it’s not going to make you money, it’ll keep you on the road though if this engine gives up sooner than expected (not that I want that to happen). Thank you for updating us, and it’s great seeing you again!! Stay safe out there.
Not enough to work on everyone else's stuff and keep your head above water. Now ya have to fix your own stuff. Just another day right! Good luck Warren. Love your videos.
Man, do you ever sleep, brother? I have massive respect for your work ethic, and as they say, when you do what you love, you never work a day in your life. Do you think you're ever going to slow down?
I love to watch your videos and how you tell people what you think! People have gotten so they don't care about anything anymore! If they don't start learning how fix these things and we die out, how is anything going to get fixed?🤔 keep up the great work!!
Old turbo will be a H1C Holset. If its stock. I run 300 hp on 2 different stock VE pumps. Plenty of potential. The crank sensor on the old one is for the charging controller in the PCM.
The timing covers are different for the inline pump vs rotary pump, if you fit that compressor make sure you have a support bracket for that fuel pump or it will vibrate and crack the timing cover, you will need a good support for the compressor too.
Everything breaks sorry your truck broke down that’s what would’ve been my luck too right when I was super busy something happens to stop everything thanks for sharing buddy hope you had a great Father’s Day
Oh I forgot to thank you for making engine swaps looking easy enough to try. It has been a several months and the 89 Ford l8000 is running well with it's junkyard special 8.3l Cummins. If I were you I would look for a 8.3 to replace that 5.9 sometime since that truck is so heavy.
Nice work on the mods to get that engine to work for the service truck hope all goes well with it cant wait to see it fire up ......Thanks for another great video..
Man, it just never ends hey man. My truck just shit out the drivers wheel seal, and then a u-joint two days later. Obviously not as bad as the engine, but its all the same shit. Trucks down and you gotta hurry up to get to other broke down equipment. Keep on trucking man, your an amazing person!
Good on u I’m from New Zealand love yr channel I am a person that loves watching I have been learning from watching but comes to electronics or any thing sorry I’m lost I’m old school even modern day tractors mate all joj run now computer run. Keep it up mate soldier on u good
Sure glad you had the spare engine, looks like as always you are confident of the outcome. I did get chills when I saw the Fram filter though, never had any good experiences with them... never.
Took the Xterra in today with something squealing up front. Transmission banging at shift around 38 mph and shutting off in drive at 700 rpms. I wonder if I will end up with a 3000 to 6000 transmission bill or higher. Fun times in retirement and still working. Had to buy a new car for the wife on payments too. Oh well that's how this world bounces.
Sorry this had to happen to you of all wose timings, I'll admit of missing your video's, it's great seeing you again, especially when I'm having a war with some pissants, thank you for the video Warren.👍
In a perfect world it would be nice to have some kind of backup truck in situations like this. Nothing fancy, just a functional truck that at least had a crane and compressor. Welders can be swapped around as well as the tools. I know, wishful thinking you'll say, but when you absolutely depend on a truck to get by, it would be money well spent. I have come across some very decent trucks around here for not much money at all that would make excellent backups. When I say not much, I mean 20k and under for a decent functional truck. Checked out a newer Topkick last year, set up about the same size wise as what you have there with an 8k crane, hydraulic air, 3116 Cat, 6spd., torch cabinets, etc. I believe it had around 250k, sitting on good rubber, rolling down the road for 16k. Didn't buy it right then, wanted to go look at another, didn't like it and went back to go buy the Topkick and it was gone. Kicked myself ever since for not buying it on sight. Sure, it needed some work, but mostly just piddly stuff, nothing major. Warren deserves a new truck more than anybody. I hope you get yours going without issues and find some well-deserved rest.
Nice thing about the first gen engines with that pump. 1 12v switched power and it’ll run. Along as the fuel is there. Did a lot a couple of swaps to those engines. So easy to get going in a pinch
Hi Warren, bad luck on the service truck mate, these things never happen when you've loads of spare time, but it looks like your plan is coming together, I hope the swap goes whithout too much hassle, if any one can do it it's you my friend, keep going forward , you'll be back on the road soon . Thanks for the video, see you in the next one, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, and the doggies. Stuart Uk.
Sorry to hear the service truck motor bit the dust!! Great idea to slot the compressor!!! If it doesn't rain it pours!! It least you've got idea's on how to jack up the power on the Engine!! All the best from Surrey BC Canada
Man Warren, that's a bummer. That could not have happened at a worst possible time. At least you had an engine in stock. I would bet money there is a different adapter housing to mount that compressor and fuel pump combo on that engine. the trick is to find the right CPL. I have worked on a lot of B and C series Cummins in the past. You have the bigger of the two air compressors I have seen on those engines, plus the hydraulic pump. The city transit busses here used them, they had the same set up because the fans were all electric over hydraulic, plus power steering. and the KW dealer I worked at had the contract for Maintenace. I can't count the number of front covers I replaced because of the compressor mountings on the front housing cracking. they broke right where the block edge is, and the aluminum housing is unsupported. I know this was a combat repair, and I am not trying to be a troll. If I still have the link, you gave us, I think it's time to buy you another few pounds of coffee or cases of beer... you should post that link more, it's not charity, it's like when they are passing the jar when you're at the bar, and you're watching a band you like...
this might be a little late. but you can swap the front cover from your engine and use pump, compressor, and belt drive accessories on the other. might be a little easier and quicker than trying to adapt the VE pump stuff to work with your stuff. food for thought, if you didn't want to swap it again later
You can also swap over the whole inline injector pump assy along with the air compressor I believe on that. There are a few differences between the industrial ones from the bigger trucks and the pickup applications. Bellhousing for example.
Would you ever consider putting in an C/L model in it? Though that is a fair bit of work for something that actively makes your living Happy to see you work the problem!
God damnit... that's too bad man.. Wonder how many running hours are on the engine....I started goin by that instead of Miles on the truck's around here when it comes to services and things..as they all have ptos too..previous employer employer went by hour's as well ...but anyway, enough about that..hope u catch a break ... have a good day 👊
I guess that air compressor has 305,000 miles on it as well as the static running for the airline. I know you don’t have time to recondition it just now - which would have been handy while it's out. Do you have a back up plan such as remanning a second hand unit? Are you going to reman the original engine or stick with the replacement and upgrade it?
dang bud its to bad you didn’t let us no your truck was down i would have drove five hours to help you bust it out our trucks are the bread and butter of our company it sucks seeing another mans service truck broke down
You could always swap the front of the p pump engine over to the ve block...it's fairly straight forward to swap and change the ve injectors over to ppump Injectors
Glad your back Warren. Was getting worried I would have to find someone else to follow ☹️ love watching and seeing the issues you get out there on agriculture gear. Keep up the good and hard work 👍
Great video Warren as always sure sorry you ran into this but, it's a good thing you already had another engine. Thanks for taking the time to bring us along even as busy as you are.
After years of following you through a wide variety of situations with equipment, short term employees, other peoples emergencies, you are still very interesting and educational. Your knowledge, skills, ethics, work habits all continue to enhance you in an impressive and admirable manner.

I’ve heard you express frustration and anger but I’ve never heard a word of resignation or despair, never seen you back away from a challenge, never witnessed you shy away from adversity. You, Sir, are an example many would be wise to emulate. I am still impressed by you.
Can’t wait to see how it turns out. Your amazing at modifying and making things work. Good to see you again
Thanks for taking us along, Warren. Figures this happens when you are up to your behind in alligators...but your were fortunate to have the other engine. Don't give up on your Highboy swap idea...just file it away. That would be one stout truck, and about as simple and "hardened' as a guy could make it.

Us mechanics have a saying that the equipment knows when it's the middle of the night, a weekend, a Friday, or a holiday!

Love you're videos man you never give up and keep going
Hes got the mindset like a lot of us real Americans! You can't give up what are the other options, there arnt any so you charge forward!!
There are those men who can, and men who can't. Warren is definitely a man who can.
Been watching your video's since before you bought that truck and have wondered how long it would take for this to happen, of course, it had to happen this time of year. Really enjoy your videos and stories and of course those wonderful pups.
just the right amount of hillbilly riggin! nice work boss!

"Once I get the compressor mounted on this thing, everything else is easy". Warren, nothing you do is easy. You just make it look easy. Nice job man.
well done warren and great video's from nottinghamshire u.k. many thanks.

Glad to see your back with videos. Sorry to hear about your truck, but great thing is you had a motor to put in place.
Always love the way you get round a problem . The younger generations will be lost when us old guys have gone
The timing covers are different for the inline pump vs rotary pump, if you fit that compressor make sure you have a support bracket for that fuel pump or it will vibrate and crack the timing cover, you will need a good support for the compressor too.

Thanks Warren, there is always unplanned surprises. I know you will get it. Good luck.
Appreciate the update, love the ingenuity. 👍👍
That's not good warren having your truck out of action 😯.
But looks like your getting there 👍👍👍
Man, it just never ends hey man. My truck just shit out the drivers wheel seal, and then a u-joint two days later. Obviously not as bad as the engine, but its all the same shit. Trucks down and you gotta hurry up to get to other broke down equipment. Keep on trucking man, your an amazing person!
You can't keep a good man down. Thanks for another great video.
Good on u I’m from New Zealand love yr channel I am a person that loves watching I have been learning from watching but comes to electronics or any thing sorry I’m lost I’m old school even modern day tractors mate all joj run now computer run. Keep it up mate soldier on u good
Think I'd put that spare 12V in there temporarily and rebuild the original 12v and put it back in eventually. That's just me though!
Thanks for your time and consideration Warren hope everything goes well with the truck 🚛🚛🚛🔧🛠️🔧🛠️
Thanks for always posting great videos!!
Sure glad you had the spare engine, looks like as always you are confident of the outcome. I did get chills when I saw the Fram filter though, never had any good experiences with them... never.
We have 4bt and 6bt 5.9 in cranes and Lull telehandler.
Best engines simple durable easy to fix .
Took the Xterra in today with something squealing up front. Transmission banging at shift around 38 mph and shutting off in drive at 700 rpms. I wonder if I will end up with a 3000 to 6000 transmission bill or higher. Fun times in retirement and still working. Had to buy a new car for the wife on payments too. Oh well that's how this world bounces.
Sorry this had to happen to you of all wose timings, I'll admit of missing your video's, it's great seeing you again, especially when I'm having a war with some pissants, thank you for the video Warren.👍
In a perfect world it would be nice to have some kind of backup truck in situations like this. Nothing fancy, just a functional truck that at least had a crane and compressor. Welders can be swapped around as well as the tools. I know, wishful thinking you'll say, but when you absolutely depend on a truck to get by, it would be money well spent. I have come across some very decent trucks around here for not much money at all that would make excellent backups. When I say not much, I mean 20k and under for a decent functional truck. Checked out a newer Topkick last year, set up about the same size wise as what you have there with an 8k crane, hydraulic air, 3116 Cat, 6spd., torch cabinets, etc. I believe it had around 250k, sitting on good rubber, rolling down the road for 16k. Didn't buy it right then, wanted to go look at another, didn't like it and went back to go buy the Topkick and it was gone. Kicked myself ever since for not buying it on sight. Sure, it needed some work, but mostly just piddly stuff, nothing major. Warren deserves a new truck more than anybody. I hope you get yours going without issues and find some well-deserved rest.
Nice thing about the first gen engines with that pump. 1 12v switched power and it’ll run. Along as the fuel is there. Did a lot a couple of swaps to those engines. So easy to get going in a pinch
Son-of-a wow right at harvest season
Can't wait to hear it fire up and see it on the road
Always impressed with your can do attitude.
Hi Warren, bad luck on the service truck mate, these things never happen when you've loads of spare time, but it looks like your plan is coming together, I hope the swap goes whithout too much hassle, if any one can do it it's you my friend, keep going forward , you'll be back on the road soon . Thanks for the video, see you in the next one, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, and the doggies. Stuart Uk.
Warren, you are an amazing problem solver.
Sorry to hear the service truck motor bit the dust!! Great idea to slot the compressor!!! If it doesn't rain it pours!! It least you've got idea's on how to jack up the power on the Engine!! All the best from Surrey BC Canada
Hope the rest of the swap go's great like a Happy sweet love song / Thanks for the Video Warren 👍
I do like how Warren does things. Wish he was closer (other side of the country). I usually fix many things myself, but some things...
My biggest fear is my service truck being down. Went from the dreaded ford 6.4 to a 7.3 gasser I’m my F550
Man Warren, that's a bummer. That could not have happened at a worst possible time. At least you had an engine in stock. I would bet money there is a different adapter housing to mount that compressor and fuel pump combo on that engine. the trick is to find the right CPL.

Engine crapped the bed on on you,,,,Good thing you know a good mechanic ;=)))
Seriously hope you get it back up and running soon.
You are such a hard worker. The great thing is that you don't whinge, you just get on with it !
Thanks for sharing. Missing your vids Warren! Hope you vid engine install and fire up! 👌👌Happy Fathers Day!
Fantastic as always thankyou for sharing.
this might be a little late. but you can swap the front cover from your engine and use pump, compressor, and belt drive accessories on the other. might be a little easier and quicker than trying to adapt the VE pump stuff to work with your stuff. food for thought, if you didn't want to swap it again later
Amazing job you do. Keep videoing and bring us along.
Was going to get some sleep and your video appeared. Sleep can wait! Kindest regards 🇨🇦
Even with all of the mods required you'll get it done. 100% confidence in that.
You can also swap over the whole inline injector pump assy along with the air compressor I believe on that. There are a few differences between the industrial ones from the bigger trucks and the pickup applications. Bellhousing for example.
Would you ever consider putting in an C/L model in it? Though that is a fair bit of work for something that actively makes your living
Happy to see you work the problem!
I always thought you had. DT 466 in your truck, didn’t sound like B series. Easy fix for you sir. Take care
Hey Warren so happy to see you back. Sorry about the engine when you’re at your busiest. Hang in there.
God damnit... that's too bad man.. Wonder how many running hours are on the engine....I started goin by that instead of Miles on the truck's around here when it comes to services and things..as they all have ptos too..previous employer employer went by hour's as well ...but anyway, enough about that..hope u catch a break ... have a good day 👊
No way man. I heard you driving it the other day. Sounded sweet. Damn
I guess that air compressor has 305,000 miles on it as well as the static running for the airline.
I know you don’t have time to recondition it just now - which would have been handy while it's out.
Do you have a back up plan such as remanning a second hand unit?
Are you going to reman the original engine or stick with the replacement and upgrade it?
You need to get rid of those crappy cummings and get you a dt 466
Right... Replace one of the most reliable engines of all time with... a turd. A turd that requires changing the truck over to make it work.
@@Look_What_I_Did What's wrong, ain't got tha smarts to change tha truck over?
You are a genius mr.waren you will finger it out ? Good skill to you . Really enjoy your videos
Warren is unstoppable 😂
Hope it all works out for you Warren
Safe travels bud
dang bud its to bad you didn’t let us no your truck was down i would have drove five hours to help you bust it out our trucks are the bread and butter of our company it sucks seeing another mans service truck broke down
enjoy all your videos
You could always swap the front of the p pump engine over to the ve block...it's fairly straight forward to swap and change the ve injectors over to ppump Injectors
Glad your back Warren. Was getting worried I would have to find someone else to follow ☹️ love watching and seeing the issues you get out there on agriculture gear. Keep up the good and hard work 👍
Great video Warren as always sure sorry you ran into this but, it's a good thing you already had another engine. Thanks for taking the time to bring us along even as busy as you are.
Good job I hope you got it running ok today.
Too bad you couldn't have swapped for the p-pump. So much easier to get a ton more HP with a p-pump. But I totally understand your predicament.
my first car was a '76 highboy cops would'nt leave me alone ever
