I love that you invested in the mics! It's funny hearing both of you but both of you can't hear each other 🤣
I love watching neglected diesel engines start after years of sitting.

You need alot more Cold Cranking Amps for diesel applications, as the compression in the motor is usually twice as much as petroleum cars, those 80-90 dollar battaries struggle to turn over VW 1.9 TDI's, they wont stand a chance starting a massive v8 or inline 6 diesel, there's no such thing as cheap batteries for diesels, your cheapest route is buying Optima Marine grade batteries, that way you only take a hit once. My two, (yes my truck takes two massive batteries) in my 5.9 cummins cost $1800 CDN. And that was a deal, but they're 11 years old now, truck sits for months on end, as i only use it rarely, to tow, and literally has never not turned over for me, in cold as F Ontario Canada.
Man the audio sounds amazing. Those mics were such a good idea.
I am so happy to see you trying to get them fixed. As an EMT I was stoked when Cleet got them, but saddened not to see them being used for anything.. Cool old ambos... Juts FYI, ambos are very complicated, especially the coolant and A/C lines, as in most rigs they share the heat and AC from the engine with the attached box (others have separate HVAC units, but those were expensive options.) So you have a lot of additional hoses running around. In the real old days, we had hand valves to shut off heating in the summer... Besides that and the additional electrical, they are a basic E350 cab... Anyway, I hope Cleet has some good plans for them..

Awesome video guys! I love the fact that y'all are two normal guys.
The beauty of a diesel. Can start up and run from sitting pretty long without worrying the fuel going bad. But air in the injector system...imagine doing that alone!
You’re so lucky to live in Florida. Those would’ve rusted out and hit the scrap yard 15+ years ago in Michigan. Now I’ll have to go find the keys to my old 7.3 and give it a good revive and drive this weekend.

Loved my Ford idi trucks. Non-turbo 7.3 idis make so much smoke lol. I always turned the IP to max on these when I had em. Never had egt issues like the old timers said I would either. Max the pump, throw new injectors in, and you'll have a smoke-show Ambulance.

JH, from the start of the video I was amazed at the quality! It was like k was watching an episode of Dirt Every Day! Great Work
JH that was the perfect car for the project though! 😂 it was a diesel experiment it had to be your car
Used to do hundreds of these ambulance n mini school busses. I hated some of them as they put the batteries under the bed in a box on the chassis so changing batteries was a pain would just take a Sawzall to the box to make life easier. Every manufacturer would be sure to have short enough cable to the batteries to where you gotta fight for it. Also I loved getting the new guy to spray ether in the intake right as the glo plugs fire up and scare the daylights out of them. We would crash these things like crazy n rip them apart with a skid steer. So much fun.
Lots of vehicles just chillin damnn
A Diesel burnout ambulance is kinda sick tho... Justin is on to something
2 meat wagons with sweet paint being brought back from the grave yard hell yea brother
The fact they ran it on diesel is too goood
Find out what Chet paid for those so we can all Shame him lol! In a nice fun way
Them mics 🎤 are a game changer! 👍🏽
Good video
Those hoses go back to the box for rear heat. I built ambulances for almost 20 years. Fummy is I started on that vintage.
So the burnout version gets a driver quick release for the stretcher lock, right? Then during a burnout you can fling stretchers at a designated corner for points.
The boneyard is lit love it
brother the intro for merch was INSANE LUL
Junkyard vids are awesome
Give your truck little Ferraro it will boost the ambulance to start
I feel like you should have brought old Zip ties and bias plies down to show you the right way to cold start a IDI
Sorry JH but it had me laughing so hard with the heater hose situation
Garrett better be careful. The EPA will come down on him hard if not carful.
Sure hope you put a wrench on the second ambulance and make sure the engine isn't locked up.
The Nos intro are gold 😂
Cold starting an old IDI is a good way to chase off the misquitos...
Cheers bud 👍👍👍
Check out R&Didi. Injectors are cheap, turn the pump up a little, turbo??
I'll take a 6.9 or 7.3 idi's before I ever buy electronic diesel anything. I've owned 4 7.3 idi's and a 6.9. They maybe slow, but they will pull. My current is a 1993 f250 7.3 idi with 143,000 original miles.

Brother you need a JNC Jump-N-Carry large battery jump box, they last way longer and are way better then that little thing.
After all that nitrous, I was surprised you didn't start talking super fast.
Put a big rig deisel in the back of one of those, make it crazy
Hell yeah brother 🇺🇸🦅
Haha dang a mouthful of NOS 🚗💨🦅🇺🇸
supposedly you can take an idi starter nose cone and bolt it to a 6.0 starter motor
You know if you hold the exclamation point on the NOCO jump pack it feeds a constant high 14 volt to the battery
Ooh... nothing jumped at me 🤣🤣🤣
I would love to have that ambulance to live in.
Oh No. Is that Bruce Wilson's fire engine sitting back there?
Time for Cleetus to have a Ambulance race 25 laps
Whatever happened to the freedom factory tow truck you guys should try to get that going
He'll ya get them going and tell cletus I need sum derby cars lol
Them Ferds love ether..
I think James should have NOS privileges revoked lol
On those trucks they have two banks of battery's one for the engine and the other for the back like the accessories and stuff that way you don't need the truck running to have the lights and stuff on in the back and i think those battery's on the side are for the back of the truck

Belly door behind passenger side usually has a few batteries
Did ya know there's normally a master switch on the left drivers side? Depending on how they're wired, will depend on how they're wired to the batteries. The master power switch will be on the left side drivers door side, normally they're on the floor or they can be mounted on the side of the seat. They put them in so shorts in wiring don't drain the batteries. There's a lot of equipment that run off of inverters like suction, lights, heaters, and various other things for the rear of rig/bus/ambulance. I laugh because we had just got a brand new rig, my Paramedic partner was driving and I asked him when he started smoking. I knew he doesn't smoke and withing seconds we were calling in the Calvary (Law Enforcement, Fire, and othe rigs) we did the chinese fire drill I asked B if he had turned off the Master switch. By then the first of the Calvary was showing up and B was about to get roasted (the business!)LOL. What caused the fire? It was a bad inverter and the company setting up the rigs decided they'd put the Inverter under the drivers seat.lol After that a lesson was learned and they changed putting the inverter under the drivers seat and put them in the rear of the rig, normally opposite side of the Oxygen tanks. We still laugh our booty's off, and B was the butt of the joke 99.9% 🤣 of the time. A brand new rig almost burned to the ground that day, all B had to do was turn the master switch off and we wouldn't of needed the Calvary. LOL

On the passenger side of the ambulance there is a battery compartment on the chassis by the door to walk into the ambulance part
Have ol Peg at ZipTies and Bias Plys teach u about the 7.3 idi. he loves em
i use to drive and work on 7.3L diesels up here in wisconsin. All of them had Ether setups for cold days and thats how the would act around 20 30 degrees until you pushed the button. down in the negative temps them things hates or wouldnt start. i loved the power and reliability but unfortunately being in the cold with 300k or more miles they just became some finicky fuckers. im a gas mechanic so them thing threw me through the ringer. only good part was cold winter day i could pull the dog house off and sit in the cab and work with a space heater going.
