![Ford Lady and Ford Ranger Turbo Diesel 2.2 L 4x4 Motorhome Van Tour [2023]](/img/n.gif)
Arron your blessed to have such a happy, positive wife in your life. It is so funny to watch these fun filled episodes of you two. We have a Yorkie also. I laugh every day with her. She is our precious little nuisance. All the best.
I have a soft spot in my head for the LUV pickup trucks. My first truck was a 78 Longbed LUV and a 81 Shortbed a few years later. Sadly I was in a accident with the 81 and totalled it out. I really dig the fact you guys are running a diesel in yours.
Are used to do all my front in alignments the old fashion way, with a string. And I could get it more precise than any Machine. but I am new to your show but let me say that you and Aaron are doing a killer job.
Videos like these are classic! Enjoy them so much. Nothing like a little Luv.🚘
As I have mentioned before (All thanks to you guys), I bought a power probe and it's now one of my favorite tools...Much love from Australia keep the videos coming we miss you guys too much :).
Back in the mid 80s my dad used to own a nursery in Marietta GA just outside of Atlanta and he had a first gen luv single headlights with a stretched frame, a 10' flatbed and a dually setup on the back. It also had that Isuzu diesel and a 5 speed. I used to drive the snot out of it and deliver nursery supplies in the summer when I wasn't in high school. I think it had a straight pipe exhaust because it sounded like a bumblebee in a gord when you wound it up tight. Great memories, luved that little truck.
Great show! Luv the tools, luv the 🐕, luv the bloopers, luv the POS old diesel getting love. Just great!
My Dad had a 1977 gas Chevy Luv, That truck was awesome! Lasted 270,000 miles! Awesome channel!!
We bought our LUV brand new 1977 . I loved driving my little 4L 4-speed truck . It always ran great. We lived in Northern Missouri and due to salted roads it rusted away in less than 7 years! I searched for a replacement body and couldn't find a good one. No internet existed to find one!
Finley steals the show... Especially when laying down right in front of the camera ! Those Chevy Luv's all rotted away up here long ago... thanks for the memories !
I love my PowerProbe too! Definitely one of my favorite diagnostic tools.
How do you only have 60k subs?! The whole automotive world should be tuning in!
Kevin Tucker Sure appreciate the kind comments and tuning in to the show!!! Yeah, gotta admit our channel growth has been slow! We attribute it to a lack of outrageous content and no click bait! We trust our growth will be sustainable and we’re also real grateful that great companies want to work with us and if we used questionable tactics that might not be the case!
Share the channel if you’d like, every viewer counts :-)
Also, we shot a ten episode season of shows for Motor Trend/Velocity! The show is called Live Love Wrench and the whole season can be watched at www.motortrendondemand.com!
If you’d like to watch it too 😎👌🏼
I’am happy to see you Yorky is given a spot to watch you work. My Jack Russell always wanted to see what I was doing under the hood of the car but I never thought of making a spot for him. I did how ever pick him up to show him what I was doing and explain the situation to him!
He crossed the Rainbow Bridge a few years ago. I still miss Jack!
Some of my first truck experiences were with one of these little Luv trucks. Awesome little rigs, and to see one with a diesel is cool. Good stuff.
Love that finely chills with you on the engine while you work. Saw many of those little trucks around with v8 stuffed in them growing up.
Early 90s my first truck was a 79 Luv 4x4, 1.8L gas, yellow, Mikado trim level (which meant a few stickers). I had so much fun with it but quickly outgrew it by my late teens, as I have been 6'5" ever since.
Couple goals! I do have a lot of catching up to do. I let my MTOD subscription lapse because it's just too much of a hassle since I uploaded the app on my phone and I couldn't sync up with my amazon prime on my TV.
Anyway, love seeing you guys and I appreciate all your efforts to get the content out there. In all media. Keep up the good work.
I do love my Power Probe. Nice explanation of what your testing for on the glow plug.
Great Vid guys, Love them old trucks!
That would be a neat lil truck to upgrade. Good to see another vlog. love this couple. Get it.
Ole Miss you guys videos and now you probably busy but hopefully fees get more for us to show love to work love the tag team job you do on the vehicles please keep it up and keep them coming look forward to seeing them soon
Oh thank you so much. I have missed seeing you two working together.
Well, it's about time! Sure did miss you guys!
Thanks she always brings back a lot of good memories from when I was young and add one from California Stepside same front end I miss that little truck thanks again
Awesome!! Love it. Those old Chevy luvs are so awesome!!
You guys are great. Thanks for the info on the tools.
10:11 - Nothing says "back on track" more than a moth fleeing the engine bay! XD
I had a butterscotch 76 Luv up in Wichita Falls 35 years ago. Ran off the road and hit a rock and bent the steering . Drove it for another 2 months holding onto the steering wheel so it wouldn't pull to the left. Good times !
Hey guys, enjoy the video's. The glow plug warming system is abit different than on my 1980 Kubota ,but still similar. Nice to see the little rascal running well. Long live the little diesel that could!
Great video Emily I've missed your videos thanks for sharing have a great day
A Chevy Luv haven’t seen one of these here in Australia for years!
Slow yes but hey loads of fun
Really enjoying your videos
It's amazing that you two have that connection. You my friend are a lucky, lucky man. My wife loves my projects but I cant get her to help for nothin!!
I honestly don't know how people dont like you guys. You guys are great and even if its throwing an axle in it's still entertaining to watch you guys. Glow plugs are no big deal but still a great 22 minutes of video learning about a chevy luv with a chevette engine that makes no power 😂
I had a '72 Luv gasser way back in high school, around '82 or '83. Fell out of it on a hard right turn one day cab and all. Made a great trailer from the rest though!
the plaid on your waist wrapped shirt is Awesome !!
First time watching yalls videos. Liked and subscribed. Great video and content. Y’all seem so genuine and nice. Looking forward to more vids on this luv pickup. Our old neighbor had and 80’s Isuzu diesel truck like this.
Mike from Richmond, Va
Cool ride man,love the little pickups.It is a beast,😁🤗Finnley wants to learn too.
Awesome little truck
You can also put a ground to the glow plug housing and a hot with the same gauge wire used in the vehicle to glow them up...if they don't obviously they are bad.
You showed the Luv some Love. Way cool. Hope you can show some video from Sema. I'm very happy when you put up new content. Another CZcamsr is building a BMW powered Z. for Sema.👍👍 "B IS FOR BUILD"
Keep up the good work love you guys
luvin the luv project
Looking forward to the new turbo install video, seems like the oil seal in that turbo could be done.
your dog is just too cute to be true. and the way he loves you is also amazing.
COOL! Love the LUV!
I used to have a Luv just like that....well gas, but same color and style, great truck
Awesome work
Been a while Emily and Araon. Nice to see you wearing you wedding rings. At the start. Nice touch. Back at it wrenching again. The happy couple. Good luck with sema. Hope it goes well.😉🤓🤓💑👍👍👌👏
It's great to see on CZcams again, but please do something with the volume on your videos. I could barely hear you
NO LUV HEART!
@@aaahtex902 I think it's your phone I didn't have any problem with the volume.
I remember and I want one. Diesel luv
You two are Awesome!! So glad I found your channel! ;-)
Sound wasn't great..but I muted it and just enjoyed watching you guys having fun.
Chevrolet LUV....what a cool name for a rebadged Isuzu KB.
loll @ 2 minutes of black screen at the end??? great videos! I have ran my little Mitsubishi/Ram 50 diesel truck on used vegetable/fryer oil. Not good for winter (gels) but perfect for summer. Just have to filter it well before adding to the tank! seems to add a little power as well. Free fuel is always cool as long as no harm done to vehicle. I have not had any problems at all. Also exhaust smoke is white when there is any and it smells like whatever was fried in the grease! I am working on 3 more diesel swaps, a Kia Sportage/Mazda turbodiesel, the Mitsubishi swapped into an 84 Bronco II and Isuzu (NPR Truck) Turbodiesel into Dodge 4x4 truck! Love those diesels!
It has less btu per gallon, no possible way it added power over #2.
Dude you hit the jackpot. Knows whats shes doing working on cars. And smoking hott. 😍😍😍 life goals achievied. 👌
Love the Luv 🔥🔥🔥🔥
OMG I love the Chevy Luves and wish no I pray I will get to own one myself some day before their all gone. I prefer the gas type more than diesel. My dad has a little dog like yall and her name is Precious and no one can mess with her but dad. I am now a new sub for yall to because of the Luv and hope to see more of it and your other builds.
55 HP?!!...my Luv Mikado (same color!) made around 375 HP. 'Course that was because one of the guys at the city garage hoisted the cab and box off and replaced the 1.8 L Isuzu with the entire 455 Ponch Super Duty drivetrain out of a Gran Safari wagon with a towing package. It was nasty rusty, but ran like a scalded cat til it got scary and I'd lift to live! Bought it for $250, dug it out of a huge snowdrift, aired up the tires and drove it home. It left "dualie" tracks due to the fact that the wagon's rear end had better than a foot wider track than the stock front. Kept it for a year and parted it out for $600. Lived to type the tale!
Little truck sounds good
always fun to watch, but i just love (luv?) the dog bed when you are working on the engine... :P
Cool! Fun!
Love the show cool to see wife and husband work on cars together
Aaron, you are my hero!
Laid back but totally winning at life!
**I LOVE these TWO**
Emily I love how affectionate you are it’s so cute!! 😭💕
Best vids and fab little dog ever .xx
The Luv confirmed it, y’all are a cool couple!
This was definitely a cool one guys! What years did the Luv get diesel? Grandpa had a gasser and it was awesome. Would Luv to find one if I could.
I have a 1982 s10 that we put a imark diesel in, when I was in high school. I’m getting ready to get it back out. Was the turbo worth it?
Do I see a white XJ in your back yard?
Edit: Oops. It's the Wagoneer. Silly me.
Love how Findley sits with you all the time.
Had a Luv in the late 80s. Definately one of the top 3 cars I want back.
Keep up the great work.🤙
Funny you wired you glow plugs that way, I did the exact same thing to my 6.2 NA diesel in my 86' K5 Blazer after my glow plug controller board went out. It has the advantage of removing the one and only circuit board in the entire vehicle. Oh and a tip on the glow plugs, put antisieze on the threads when u put the new ones in bc a broken one is a SERIOUS PITA to get out.
Southron Jr We did antisieze them, just failed to shoot it 😅
It’s a good way to wire them up!!
Rare Truck and a Thumbs up liked.
Power probes rock! Also, what in the world happened to that F-bomb shirt? Fight a lawn mower? That is a collectors item!
My first thought was fresh gas would clear up the smoke, then I thought again. lol Can't beat the MPG's
Wow, you shot some of this just yesterday - did you get any sleep after editing?! 😉 Great video as always - I actually geeked out on the Quick Trick alignment tool. You’ve convinced me that I need this in my garage. 👍🏻
Spyder Garage You know exactly how it goes!!! I slept a LITTLE! But I had a goal so I had to make myself EDIT!!!!!
The alignment tool is WAY COOL, we only just learned it, it’ll be awesome once we apply it on good suspension!
Flying Sparks Garage. Oh I do! And I’m still about 3 episodes behind on editing. I’ve got to get them all caught up because I have some cool surprises planned for Nathaniel and I don’t want those episodes to wait! 👍🏻
QuickTrick Alignment You can click on my Avatar next to my comment and it’ll take you directly to our channel, but yeah! I seriously plan on getting one of these someday when we’re ready for an alignment - particularly before we hit the road for Power Tour next year! 👍🏻
Cool thank you
That luv ROCKS..
Killer truck, where did you find the motor, can't wait to see it with the right turbo setup
While watching y’all work on Luv I was wondering how many times y’all head butted Zen’s tires. Then you nearly walked into it!
That girl is running nitrous. Has to be. Nobody can be that cheery and upbeat.
Problem with doing this sort of align is you need turntables. Two sheets of 1/8 plate with plenty of grease between will suffice. Though still need s to bounced or at least rocked back and forth.
1.8L you say? Used to get a chunk more than 55bhp out of the 1.5 isuzu td lumps over here in the UK, when they were popular in Vauxhall/Opel Nova's, Corsa's, ran happily at 75-80bhp. Oh, voice volume seemed quite low, had to keep turning it up as the video went on, weird as the setting at the start was a little loud on the video I watched just before.
Nice video, question tho why is the truck named LUV??
I have a 86 S10 4x4 standard been a project for a awihle has 2.8 v6 not a lote of hp but torky . Like to do a engine swap 4.3 v6 maybe but with trans and transfer case. Hard to get anything to adapt
i think your videos are cool wish i had the work area you all do instead of a carport with gravel floor to work on my 53 ford two door mild custom very hard to raise the car so it is safe
wish i knew of somebody to help me out some but when you are retired and on a very limited budget you just cant afford have it done in a shop. keep putting out the killer videos Pura Vida !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to say it, again, LUCKY MAN!!!
Another great dorky episode.
If anything needed an LS swap, it would be this. Now that would be real LUV.
Nice F-Bomb shirt, Em!
So are we going to see a compound intercooled turbo setup on the luv, or will it get a Cummings r2.8 swap later on.
Why a Cummins there is a 2.8 isuzu that may even bolt up they make an easy 120hp at the treads. They camei n pups and montarys and some excavators
I thought Johnny had a beer in his hand until you pointed it out.
Do you guys work out of Dallas?
Keep it up guys love the vids.... side note: audio is very quiet... maybe double it if you have that option
braydenbretzel I’ll make a note on that!
@@flyingsparksgarage i should point out only you guys talking was quiet.... that bad a$$ diesel rumble was nice and loud haha
I have the same front on my 76. But I have a sport bed. If you have a connection to someone who can recreate them I will volunteer mine as molds. In exchange fer a set or 2.
Hi, just keep on making videos...thanks
I just got off the fone (phone) with quicktrick . I have a new to me motorcoach (FMC 2900R) #458 out of 1000 made. I called the front end alignment guy here (spokane) got a quote. Then called your guy (quicktrick) to buy their tool. WOW are they proud of the of their stuff........ I take my FMC motorcoach in wed. and save a lot of $$$$. Keep up the blogs, Ive enjoyed them all. Jim Fortymile
the toe-in setting is meant to provide stable straight line driving.
Dead straight and even worse, toe-out will make the car steer twitchy and nervous.
You can use wd-40 as starting fluid...........try it. Works great.
Why not a turbo from a tdi golf or jetta? Engines are about the samish displacement.
I lost my Speed square!OH,NOOOOO.
The easy-fast way to see if the tires are toes in/out is run your hand across the tire tread *lightly* to see if towards you or away from you IF the tread feels "sharper".Sharper toward you,it's toed IN.
Camber is the angle/measurement of if the top of the tire leans toward or away from the engine.Usually positive camber is preferred: Top AWAY from the engine.
You may consider running heavier oil in the diesel engine.
sounds like the glow plugs had power left on and caused them to fail....maybe a timer isn't such a bad idea Aaron.
