Makes sense smoke is unburnt fuel aka higher egts aka less power and nuking turbos

Todd and Will know their stuff about diesels. It takes a lot of load to get the turbos to really make boost so you can add fuel to make power. I'm already subscribed to Power Driven Diesel. They are fun to watch and learn from.

Mike, It's always fun seeing you strive to go faster, but even more fun when you find people that want to make you go faster. Been subscribed to PDD for a couple of years now, and they are always doing interesting things. A great learning channel. Thanks for sharing, and good luck.

Cool upgrade for the old Ramp Truck. Jeff does a great job as does everyone at MO’s Speed shop. It’s my go-to place for performance work and tuning.

The ATF/acetone mixture does work well, particularly in the rust belt. My preferred mixture is Type F, 50/50, well shaken in a spray bottle. I'm not exactly stingy with it, either.

There becomes a point to where you can longer control smoke most people don’t reach a a power level where that’s a problem in the pulling community it’s mainly due to being limited to a certain size turbo with drag racing it’s not as much of a issue because you can use nitrous to clean it up also big fuel is usually cheaper than big air

Dude, I was so glad when you said you were sick of rolling coal in the Ramp Truck. It's fine on the strip, but on the street, you get behind one of those , you're hatin' life. SO much betterer! However, is the tourque worth the hassle? Seems like a LOT more of a pain in the ass to work on, compared to a big block, and spendier as well. Thanks, guys! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

ATF and Acetone works, I usually use ATF and diesel fuel. Same idea, works like magic.

I love this truck! And your channel. Always enjoy watching!

I subbed to their channel. I can't wait to see the next phase in the iconic truck. Could this possibly be the Project X of trucks.

Somebody did a video on extensions affecting torque and surprisingly using an extension on a torque wrench did not have any affect!

The valve lapping compound for Phillips and torx fasteners is legit. Not sure about Allen’s. I would use a tub of it a year pulling fuel panels on jets.

Use a tight fitting Torx in place of the Allen wrench to remove the head studs. They are much harder than Allen wrenches are, and won't round over like those do, and also won't distort the Allen socket in the head stud. They work so much better that I don't use Allen wrenches anymore.

Snap-on tools are expensive, but for hand tools, they are worth it. They will save you money in the long term. Not rounding off so many fasteners and not breaking nearly as often as others means you can do jobs faster. If you can get a few extra cars done every month, you'll quickly pay for the difference in price.

When it comes to tires (tractor trailer and rusted steel wheels) it works. That mix works great.

Love Finnegan's garage. Same headaches I have when working on vehicles. Stuck/broken bolts parts not fitting. Not like the old hot rod tv shows where everything just works perfectly lol

3:15 Mike, I’ve used 50/50 mix on that atf/acetone recently. Works well, especially if you’re frustrated and leave the offending hardware overnight.

Gramps always told me, sonny if it ain't broke don't fix it!! I never listened

Such a good day with the boys and power driven diesel know there stuff...also know your trying for power when your piping clamps have springs attached to hold them closed

Ive used atf/acetone mix and its atleast comparable to pb blaster. Definitely really good for the cost. Especially if your using used atf.

A straight extension won’t affect the torque reading, but something that changes the length of the wrench like a Crows foot certainly will.

The acetone and ATF works best if you use the synthetic ATF bc it will creep through every crack even better

You know those injectors must be good because around 43:30 they were looking at each other, wondering how much they should be saying about how they work. They wanted to tell Finn, but also there were trade secrets floatin' about Lmao. Good stuff.

Been using ATF and ATF/ acetone mix for a long time! Works great!

Great video Mike! Super fun and cool!

On par with Project Farm for rust penetrant testing. Best science channel on the tubes

I just bought that same Snap-on Techangle torque wrench because of this video. Thanks Finnegan for helping add to my debt

Get a penetrant called kroil, its basically acetone and atf but their own proprietary blend, hands down the best penetrant money can buy, we use it to take apart steam turbines that have been running for 10-20 years and nothing else even comes close

Science with Finnegan and crew. Love it!

I subscribed to pdd! I love the og ramp truck! the cummins is cool, not a fan of how loud it is but that is ok when your making those types of torque numbers!

Damn, there are some nice looking cars in that building. Particularly that Falcon :)

I love how in the diesel truck blowing up video. How dude driving, in the heat of the moment puts his helmet visor down. But you can see, as soon as he pushes that button on the steering wheel. Is when the magic happens. By that I mean, the engine disappeared.

Acetone / ATF is my go to living in the rust belt it’s proven itself to me time and time again.

Mike, you need to get hold of Derek @ Vice grip garage, and have him send you his hood saver for square bodys. He is prototyping them to sell. Helps with the dreaded hood crease .

Pure entertainment! Bring it on Mike!

I have a 84 chevy K10 square body, witg the original 6.2L diesel, I love it so dearly.

Did a long extension torque test once. Had all the mechanics donate long extensions and we made an extension at least 10 feet long. Using 3/8" drive for maximum flex. Used a Snap On torque wrench set to 35 ftlbs and used it on Yamaha ATV lug nuts. The only difference we found between extensions and no extension was that the extension flexed a lot, meaning you had to turn the wrench an additional half turn or more with a ten foot extension to take up the flex, but the on and off torque accuracy was pretty close. Close enough that the mega extension basically made no difference. We did not try this test on really high torque values. I'd imagine those would show some variability using a ten foot extension.

The reason Nord Locks work is because the outer serrations dig into each surface and the ramps on the inner faces are angled higher than the pitch of the bolt. Basically they require the bolt to stretch in order for them to rotate relative to one another.

Thank you for not smoking, Mr Finnegan. You're the man.

One tip I'd like to give you. The bottle you put the penetrant in you should take the dipper tube off, when the acetone changes temperature it can potentially empty the bottle. We use those MEK and I have had one empty itself on my cart while I was not at work. Lessons leart hart way Lol. You'll have to tip the bottle to use it, but the mess will far less.
