Amazing. It's actually rougher than the white van it was in originally. Didn't know about the reverse gear in the transmission. I remember your first van video "world most fuel efficient van". Engine rattled real loud. Seems most are that way. My 1.6 doesn't rattle, not sure why. Shows 310,000 miles on the clock
Might wanna check injector pump timing. Probably too retarded if it sound bit smooth, those indirect injection engines should sound bit rough when pump is correctly set. Makes better mileage too if it´s bit advanced.
I remember when you built that van. I was 12-13 at the time. I've always wanted to come visit the farm! Maybe I bet you'd love to see my VW diesel converted Audi A4!!
I remember too. That’s why I was confused when he started this video with “this is the very first diesel caravan I converted.” It’s the second isn’t it?
Did you ever change the engine in the maroon caravan since you mentioned in a previous video that it wasn't working as good as it once did anymore due to the cold weather?
Did the TV degaussing thermistor prove to be a long-term solution to exciting the alternator on this diesel caravan? I remember when you made that video and thinking that was a genius solution.
I'm really scared about the cheviac breaking in half I know you are retired Dave but pls do some work on on it pls because evil never dies mwaaaaaaaas👹💀☠️
id love to put one of those mechanical vw diesels in my samurai. they used to be a dime a dozen at the pickers...did those classics ever go up for auction??
@@davidbrock4506 I remember seeing your old videos when you first got it back in 2010 the van looked in great shape now as you can see she’s seen better days Dave
Good times. I sent you the shifter cables for that van years ago. I miss driving my old 5-speed Caravan
woah.. I remember that vid
Thats awesome, other viewers had also sent cables but yours was the perfect one.
Heel ya! 2.5 liter with a 5 speed!
Hearing the story with the door at 0:48 made me just hear “you broke my van! You bastard!” 😂😂
Hahahahah!!! Omg i forgot about that... wow. Old times!!! Dang i wish i could find the video.

Yeah, the white van was pretty rough just in different ways. There's a video of it on CZcams, tribute to the white diesel caravan.

Welcome back I use to watch your videos all the time and still revisit Old videos
I grew up on the old channel many years ago. I remember the floppy cock van. 😂 anyways it’s glad to see you back on CZcams.
I still remember the bus getting sent up sky hill only to crush the tail pipe 😂😂
I rememebr the white van you had with the diesel
Yes good times. I remembered when you got the round body too at auction. You still have those lol
Greetings from the UK, Dave. Watched tour from almost day one on your old channel and this, can me and the wife send you a gift, please?
YES!
Davidsfarm ROCKS!!!!
Yes it does!!
Looks like it's ready for inspection
Geez I remember when you used to have the white diesel van before you switched everything to this one good to see it’s still going
I remember too. That’s why I was confused when he started this video with “this is the very first diesel caravan I converted.” It’s the second isn’t it?
@@zaneherrington8868 it’s the second the first one was a 1990 I believe white with maroon interior
@@Cooperdonny325 the white one he had was a 1990 he bought it in 2001
It looks like the rust worms really got to the van...
WOW did that ever rust badly in 13 years, why didnt you want to oil spray it?
surprised to see daves farm pop up in my feed, pretty sure this guy invented cold start videos. cool to see ur still making videos.
David do you still have the airies turbo wagon? I love that thing
sold it
I even remember your 1990 minivan
I'll still be driving my rust free 1996 Chevrolet Lumina APV Van here in BC🙂
I remember when u built it from your first diesel van
Wow I remember when that was your regular driver, time flys!
Wasn't your first diesel van an older white?
Yeah it was lol
holier than the local church van
Is the Van Preserved?
Good times, i remember the swap over from the white van. Any videos of the engine rebuild?
Hi Dave, all my best; the original channel was good times. I was just about to ask about the blue Cheviac, what happened to it? you still have it?🙂
i got it. see it here.
I got a blowie in that ride once!
Lol
I remember watching the videos on this
Did you ever change the engine in the maroon caravan since you mentioned in a previous video that it wasn't working as good as it once did anymore due to the cold weather?
not yet.
Do you think you’ll try to sell the talon again this year?
yes.
Did you build this van before or after the old white diesel caravan?
I think this was after. So the white van was the first. This has the engine and the gearbox from the white one.
After
I want to see the Talon POS
Doesn’t run anymore
May you please do a 1 year update on the newest diesel conversion?
More like 2 years
i did today.
@@davidbrock4506 Thankyou very much, what had ever happen to the IDI ford pickup? Rotted beyond usable?
@@WizardMower worked well when i sold it.
Did the TV degaussing thermistor prove to be a long-term solution to exciting the alternator on this diesel caravan? I remember when you made that video and thinking that was a genius solution.
it was a great permanent solution.
The white one was first because he had the video of putting the TDI in this one right?
I'm really scared about the cheviac breaking in half I know you are retired Dave but pls do some work on on it pls because evil never dies mwaaaaaaaas👹💀☠️
If it does it does.
he must be forgetting the white diesel he converted before this one.
Wasn't your white van the first one you change over
That's what happens when smart people drive vehicles on salt roads 🤣😂🤣
Where can I find the old channel, I would like to see this install. Also, what’s your average mpg?
Just look up diesel van. After you type it Dave’s farm
Do you still have the light blue (sky blue) voyager van that was never converted?
scrapped it,
I thought the old white caravan was the first van you converted to VW diesel...maybe im remembering wrong
i switched the parts from the white to blue one.
Bondo retains water
so's my grandmother
id love to put one of those mechanical vw diesels in my samurai. they used to be a dime a dozen at the pickers...did those classics ever go up for auction??
nope.
@@davidbrock4506 so this van is a 1995? You got it in 2010?
@@fordmustang98guy yes.
@@davidbrock4506 I remember seeing your old videos when you first got it back in 2010 the van looked in great shape now as you can see she’s seen better days Dave
I thought you used to have a lighter blue color van that had a vw diesel in it before this one Dave?
He had a white one prior to this blue one....He swapped the diesel and trans over to this one.
Anyone know what happened to jen
What year is the motor in that van?
1984
Do you still have the that k car station wagon?
Sold
Rust in peace.
start Eagle Talon and toyota cressida love it
Talon doesn’t run and Cressida is gone
@@JayGubby 😢
After watching all the previous videos on all the vans, which combination would you say was the best?
the grey van is the best.
when was this van started last?
2 years ago.
How do you move it around?
@@JayGubby push it with my van.
You have a lot of salt in Canada?
Did you sell the cop car yet?
yes.to be a rental movie prop.
bet ya she still runs too rusty but trusty as they say
This isent the first, i remember the white old one
You can just run that on cooking oil at the end of the world.
Right
Technically the 1989 dodge caravan was your first this is your second
The 89 was w gaser not a diesel
@@JayGubby no his white van look it up was a disel then he transferred the motor and trans to this one he is showing up now
@@ANDERSONEXPRESS7the 1989 was the light blue van
@@JayGubby well i meant the white one
@@ANDERSONEXPRESS7oh my bad
Should have undercoated the chassis before it went to shit
Three transmissions and an engine rebuild?? Sounds like it took a bite out of the fuel saving.
Not really that costly if you do all the work yourself.
1st
Can u do a cold start old start on the vehicle with the green hood
has no wiring.
I thought the white Caravan was the first one that you converted to diesel since that's where the engine came from for this blue one.??
True
