You’re a selfless man, Warren. You’re the biggest inspiration for me going into a service truck and making a difference in customers’ lives. Thank you for the video

You videos make me laugh Warren.. every time I am really getting into what your doing they end.. I get so into what your doing That I loose track of time.. and bang 40 minutes are gone in 10 minutes to me.. I love to do this kind of work and have since the 60's.. But I am way to old and broken to do it now.. SO thanks a million for helping this old man keep his hand in it as it were..💯

You tube is great for us old timers! We can experience everything we did in our youth with these new cameras and what not, without killing ourselves!! Let's be truthful, our bodies get old but the brain still thinks it's a teenager!! Virtual reality is also more comfortable!

I love the rather elegant design of those boxes. It’s a Engineering principle that it’s more difficult to design something to do a particular task in a Simple way,than to engineer it overly complicated which is easier to do but definitely not better.

It always amazes me how much abuse these transmissions withstand before finally braking . Kudos to the engineers who designed them and to the mechanics who do the repair

Warren uploading today? That really makes my day, now I've got something to watch that I'll learn from! Thanks for the video.

You are quit the spannersmith. There aren't many true mechanics left. I wish you continued sucess.

Thank you for the video Warren at least there's something to watch and as usual I've hit the thumbs up button for yah. 👍

Finaly something good to watch on a sunday 👍👍

Warren you have so much talent. A library of knowledge.

This project has all the qualities that make you a well respected legendary artisan: incredible knowledge, versatility in accomplishing difficult situations, and a stellar record of successful project completion. And last but certainly not least, certainly, your ever long effort to share your talents and wisdom with others through this channel. Respect, Sir.

Thanks buddy for sharing hope your having a good weekend god bless

Fun fact : Snap rings are also known as ( You fuckin piece of shit ) in the automotive biz. Now you know 👍

At least you have options to help this owner out of his transmission troubles. Great video Warren stay safe looking forward to the next part of this video.

You're the most versatile, capable mechanic that I've seen thus far. I've never seen anything mechanical that you don't have knowledge on. And you go the extra mile for your customers, which speaks volumes for your character. I hope that all of that grace comes back to you when you find yourself in need someday. God bless you and your family, Warren!

My Brother n law, a farm mechanic for years, always called 'em "Jesus clips", cause thats what you say under your breath when they drop in the dirt! Todd the retired trucker.

Warren knows his stuff

I agree. Those transmissions are nice to work on I remember the first one I ever took apart. I was laying it out piece by piece on plywood and the old timer I was working under came a flipped the plywood. And said. Your not going to learn how it goes doing it that way I was so pissed But after that every other one I did all the parts just went in a heap never had one not work that old timer taught me so so much he was a talented man probably forgot more than I know Keep up the awesome videos Warren

Love watching your videos your knowledge is unmatched on KZread and your explanations are excellent on how things work

Great video as alwais 👍🤝🔧🔩⚙️

It always amazes me the stuff you know

I call them circus clips. Always so much fun.

Great call on the transmission swap and thanks for the videos. I enjoy them and learn a little too .

Nice video Warren. Thanks for posting.

Thank you Warren, for the video.I like your Content your Doing an Awsome Job 👍😎 Stay Safe

I like Roadranger repairs, they're such a simple transmission, well-designed and robust. Plus you have options for how to assemble by mixing and matching, overdrive vs. direct vs. double o/d, etc. They made them as small as 600ftlb which is ideal for a pickup application up to and beyond 1600 (probably higher than that these days as it's been years since I did one). 8,9,10,13,18 speeds

So far so good .. a nice bit of work there warren . Not afraid to tackle anything 👍👍👍👍

I think it's great that you have so much knowledge to be able to do this sort of thing. Forget swapping like for like mechanics - this is the real deal.

I hear you're about to get a ton of rain up there! Finally some good news!

Hey Warren! Thanks for the video!

Warren is a Legend

Great work, thanks for the insight 👍

Your videos are so real, I can smell the gear oil

incredible man !!👌

As the Madonna song says "I'm a mechanical, I'm a mechanical, I'm a mechanical boy", By the way I see a huge positive mental attitude change Warren. That's nice. Happy husband, happy wife.

good vid warren

Shit, I haven’t watched all of the last one yet. I’ll have to binge watch 😊

Right on man 👍👍👍👍

Nice service truck.

A road ranger is just a 5speed trans with a box on the back for your ranges it just has more shafts for strength

Thanks Warren, got a lot out of the video.

HAY WARREN JUST WONDERED IF YOU KNEW THOSE PAIN IN THE ASS SNAP RINGS HAVE AN ANGLE CUT ON THEM. A LOT OF TIME THE FACTORY PUT THEM ON BACKWARDS AND MAKES A PAIN IN THE ASS TO GET OFF EVEN WITH A GOOD PAIR OF SNAP RING PLIERS. JUST WONDERED. KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDS.

newbie to your channel sent over by KT3406E, not sure if it has been suggested but for fear of missing tidbits of info, have you thought of getting a Mic pinned to your shirt or perhaps strap a go pro to your forehead :) :) like a commercial diver hahahahaha...just for better sound clarity when you step away from camera. But great content and appreciate your vids.

ol mate performing caesarean section on a 13A,, see , it aint who you know, it what you know that gets the job done, cheers.

How the hell did they break a steering knuckle??those are pretty tough to break.i have owned Chevy pickups all my life and I have never broken a steering knuckle ever.pretty cool to see you take a 13 speed and convert it to an 18 speed.looking for the next video on this .I have never seen this done before.

Warren, watch for oil passages under the bell housing. When you switch a bell housing between a halo and non Halo( halo is the ring oil pipe) there are oil ports that need to be plugged or it will leak oil into the bell housing.

I’ve watched your videos on this trans as I have the same one. I have oil leaking out the blue hose at the splitter valve, and when shifting the red knob back it sounds like it’s underwater. Will a new k3331 kit fix it? Or is it the o rings on the piston and tube inside the rear cover? Thanks

Warren, this is a great video thus far, question, what is the weight of these transmissions, and how long does it take to R&R start to finish, thanks Warren for posting

What do you prefere to work on plant and farm machinery or trucks Warren

How are you liking the Leatherman?

I'm just not going to be that guy tries to tell another guy to do something. However I would probably make myself a wheeled cart to put those on so I could stand up while tinkering with that stuff. I hate to see you hunkered down on the ground like that. Cuz I love ya brother.

I got to watch this through to understand what is happening. My other comment went on a tangent and got deleted because of saving it, maybe a saving grace. Have a small tote to put those job specific repair tools that are not used that often?

Hey warren Just maybe! That dang camera became your best dang friend.. Someone to talk to and be a pest at watching. Sorry No Hands. Lmao..

Most people just care about making a buck. Most mechanics have little care for the customers. WARREN is NOT most people or most mechanics.

I enjoy the videos and the dedication. But. I am forced to wonder. If time is money, would a transmission delivered in a box, ready to install, have already been back on the road making money?

From the driver standpoint I know the splitter on a 13 speed is only available in high range whereas on the 18 speed it's available in both, is it anything mechanical that causes this? Or just pneumatic?

You are always using your service truck crane indoors and you are forced to run your engine to operate it, too bad you couldn't add a simple electric auxiliary hydraulic pump just for crane operation.
