What's it like on fuel

Hearing Al talk about the conversion sounds like "I could have done something easier and maybe more sensible. But where is the fun in that."

its amazing seeing the progression in Al's work from something that looks like a very well done conversion like this to the work they're doing now. Especially considering how honest Al is about it all. good work lads

That thing sounds like it RIPS! Love that Al doesn’t cut it any slack either.

Best spin off out of the MCM characters and a better show in my opinion. More enjoyable than Moog yelling for 20 minutes.

Do they even still modify cars? They only seem to do stupid challenges these days...

Getting a Duramax running in our 64 C10 right now cause of the challenge but Cummins is still a better (cheaper) option. The weight savings is great but at least a 12v still sounds like Big Foot farting in the woods

I think it speaks loads about al that he can look at something that has and does perform like it should and talk about how he could have done better. Shows he's still learning like everyone should and is humble. Great shows guys. I always look forward to new videos. Keep it up.

This conversion is the reason I bought my GU. Thanks for going into so much detail about all the little quirks & things that will catch you out with the swap. Have bought some parts from Heath @ PID as he seems to be the most reliable when it comes to delivering the goods!

20:27 haha when Al says ‘ I wonder how it would go compared to a Cummins powered patrol ‘ .. haha and what are you building right now Al 😋😜

I have a FJ40, and I kept the axle on the stock side (which meant a custom axle) - many didn't understand why I was so insistent about maintaining the stock position, your explanation is going to be my go-to-video to help when my patience wears thin trying to explain it....

great ep lads, skid factory vid is always my favourite part of the week

Fantastic in depth explanation, could listen to Al speak all day awesome knowledge.

Love the diesel content- and The aforementioned upcoming project

"Everyone likes to imagine that they are driving a train!" So true!!

cheers al and woody for another epic vid we are always learning with you guys👍 yoda vids are #1

I kept hearing about this here and there from Alan in the older videos glad to see this.

“Spins a lot of gears” 😂😂😂😂 well done guys! I think it’s great seeing the progression of your fab skills. Imo that duramax swap does look great but we all know the second time you do something is always better

21:40 Gee Woody's words crack me up at times 😂 Funny guy. Be great value to be around 👍👍

Surely with having to move so much stuff for the shaft would just be easier to redo the diff housing with the diff on the left? Al has the skills

You know a mechanic is a great metaphor for a problem solver. You simply believe a thing can be done, get into it, and start tackling the problems you find one at a time, making it work, inventing parts, modifying parts to fit, until you've accomplished their functions. And I think I can, becomes I did it, becomes empowerment over the helplessness, the cries, and complaints that trouble us.

great epp and you have cured me of ever wanting one of them like that !!

looks like a good rig. Big smiles when you put the foot down.

Bring on the next duramax build guy's that would be a great watch. Be good to hear what you wanted to change and explain the differences. Great work love the show keep em coming 👍

I have done engine conversions . It takes time , it’s to spend 3 or 4 hours just to get one engine mount right . Then there’s heater hose routing, intake ducting , and a million other things . Most workshops are going to charge a grand a day, so the more you can do yourself, the better.

I love the IM AL Virginia plate in the background.

I felt no pain at all with my build ! much thanks to PID Diesel.. best thing I have ever done, perpetual smiles when driving..

Sweet conversion. Time to start a new duramax build mate would love to see it

Yes boys, every episode needs a skid!!

This thing is pretty awesome.. Can't wait to see how the cummins one turns out.

Please do the build you're talking about Al, we'd love to see it! Keep it up guys.

Sick rig and build gents.

Best skid factory so far haha

Love it still has the 4500 stickers on the side .. full sleeper lol. Loved when al took off from the give way damn it fkn moves haha

Awesome build! I would love to see a version 2.0

Need more builds like this!!!

Love the patrol content. I've got a LSA and 6l80e in my gq Ute.💪💪👍

thank you for detail video on diesel power Nissan

Yoos buggers did it again. Left a little nugget AFTER the credits. I caught this one but I bet I've missed heaps because I'm too keen to get onto the next vid. LOVE your crap guys. Keep up the STELLAR work.

YES PLEASE, ABOUT BLOODY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice to see the Idaho license plate! I think 1B is Bannock County. Cool seeing other fans from my state enjoying quality videos from the other side of the world!

Very interesting, guys, but I'm glad I went my way - 200RWKW TD42T. Cost me $10K to get a good pump, turbo and IC, did all the fitting myself and it just turned over 300000kms. Bog reliable and gets better (ok, less worse) fuel mileage than standard. Doesn't go like that monster, though - I'd love the tranny in mine :-) Love your work, always look forward to a new episode.

Haha that's gold! Would have to be the first time I've seen Woody make a face like that. When Woody starts looking for the "HOLY SHIT" handle you know its quick. Now The Skid Factory is about to be flooded with Patrol builds!!

Bit hard on yourself yoda looks like a great job drives well .will be good to see another one built

Worked at Mark's for a few months and got to drive their patrol both on portals and off and it's a beast. Yes about $50k point the road is about right including engine. What was even better than the patrol was their 105 Landcruiser with the Duramax and 6l80e conversion. That cost MANY moneys to build but wow does it drive good. I prefer the old na 6.5 chev for sound with turbo wakes them up pretty well to but the Duramax makes them a real hotrod.

You can also get the alternators from diesels in 4wds and light trucks that have the vacuum pump on the back of them

Here in portugal the moast popular sawp now in the patrol is the engine from BMW 530/535d and works great! Congratilations im a big fan of the chanel.

That thing sounds wicked Mallee.

A big Donk is always impressive under the hood!

All hail to the techwiz Al,, aka TurboYoda 🙏 such a bliss just listening to him explain his wizardness,,, 😋👍

Drives it like a boss

Dat turbo sound tho😍😍😍😍

Beautiful work ! 175k AU for Silverado wow !

Al you have go man...we believe in you.

WOW. Thats an awesome truck. Hope you getback ai it...

Damn that spool sounds good!!

23:42 love the reeeeeeee from the turbo

Cummins patrol is definitely the truck feel and sound your mentioned at the start. Definitely more potential and easier to get in the patrol. I offered to bring mine in when I was passing through about 6 months ago but I couldn't hang around to get an answer. Duramax is sweet but cummins for the win is my opinion.

How did I miss this video!

Yes please

big call from denmark hav bin following your channel for about a year, you make the coolest cars, and as a patrol nott about 15 years and no plans to quit, in dk we unfortunately have a lot of stuppet rules that make life difficult for us who build cars have a y60 2.8td which is the standard in dk 4.2 is rare also in gasoline vasion, goes after approx 180-200 hp 2.8 with 2860 turbo 12mm pump 2.5 "feeder hoses 3" intorcooler 3 "inlet for the turbo 3 "v band exhaust, panning a rb25det if i can get the papers in order

Al I have a GU you can improve the engineering side on. I also have some ideas to make it easier and neater

I love Nissan and GM ( in that order) so really dig the swap

I love the look on Woody's face when Turbo Yoda nails the go pedal, that thing really hauls ass.

What a beast of a Patrol that Allison box really seems to get it moving. Should drag race the Daihatsu in it or the V12 Cruiser.

At first I thought Al said it skips a lot of gears, then I noticed the tyre smoke out the back window, ooo skids a lot of gears!

Bro relax guy the look on woody face priceless👍🏼🍺

Nice Idaho Plate you got there. I am From Idaho!!! =)

This video makes me appreciate my LBZ Silverado more.

LOL @ Woody grabbin the Jesus handle. The way that thing took off to begin with. Bloody hell.

If you're looking for future projects, not sure how different the Mondeo you get is to the us Fusion, but I recently saw a hoonigan video, guy swapped a full mustang driveline into a Fusion ( both current generation). The rear subframe/suspension literally bolted right up, and the front subframe bolts were within 1/2 inch of bolting up. Just had to make a tunnel for the trans and driveshaft. But it's a nearly bolt up conversion to make a 4 door mustang.... It's not a falcon...but...

That Idaho plate is from my home town, 1B is Bannock county.

After the last few weeks of episodes in the US, it feels strangely comfy to be back in the shed.

Cool conversion. I've never driven a anything with the duramax I it. I had an 83 blazer with the old 6.2L diesel. Nothing like the duramax though. The 6.2l was gutless but was very efficient on fuel. Have you done anything with a ford 7.3 or 6.0?

Reminds me of the moon quote, "We didn't go there because it was easy, we went there because it was hard"

knew a bloke who put an older chev 6.5 turbo diesel into his gu patrol for towing a massive caravan, got better towing mileage than the old engine

So, at 18:53 I was worried that The Skid Factory wouldn't deliver... ...then came 18:55! Thanks Al!!! -100

Thing is a mean rig 🤙

Neat looking set up but can't wait for the builds to start up again

Would love to cram one in a D40! Mad engines, unless you have to replace the injectors. $$$$$

I'm Idaho!

what a weapon! would a custom front diff would make things easier ? You guys should def do another duramax conversion

19:46 that 79 wish it was that good
