Awesome video sir. This is my first of your videos, and a new sub. Also, greetings from a fellow Michigan grease monkey. I'm on the other side of the state near Detroit. Thanks for the teaching, I've been wrenching a long time, but still a little green in the diesel department. 👍👍

Well welcome greasy monkey!!! Yeah I do a lot of stuff with these particular diesels but no I’m not a diesel mechanic either it just so happened that I owned about five of these over my lifespan and I learned how to work on them so I have a lot of different tricks and in this particular video was the first time I ever zip tied the intakes together but I have improved this process significantly more in future videos that I have up in my playlist and I actually make installation brackets for them now and sell them to the public when they have me clean their intakes…. Since this video I also solved how to clean the Intakes but I did not share that with the public because it’s an eight hour process and really most people just don’t have the equipment to do it and even if they didn’t I wouldn’t make any money because these KZread videos really don’t pay crap except for the good feeling you get when you help a complete stranger I do quite enjoy that very much. So welcome neighbor thank you very much for joining us

Even if folks can't do things on their own, sometimes seeing a video helps them realize how much goes into some of these jobs, and they understand why they pay what they pay.

Clay great video To answer your question on my 2011 I could undo 2 vertical bolts on the turbo bracket I had tried to undo the 2 bolts at an angle but they were so tight even with heat and great force they would not budge

How did you get them out

If I buy a couple gallons of kroil and soak the intake manifolds for a week... do you think the intake runners will still freeze back up after a week or 2? I replaced the turbo because I feared it was blown and wasn't getting any codes. It took a few months to save up the money and do the work, and now it's running great. Except it's in partial limp mode and I can't get past 70mph on the freeway... uphills it slows down, and I have the intake runners' codes. I don't have the money for new intakes, and nobody in my area rebuilds them (wi)... so I'm hoping to repair without spending too much money. I'm thinking about taking the intakes off and soaking in kroil and periodically working the runners to get any corrosion freed up and cleaned out of there, and after a week try to reinstall and cross my fingers... what are my odds that this won't work and will be a huge waste of money? (kroil isn't cheap...) Any advice is appreciated

I’m working up to tearing my 2008 down. How much is it to have you clean/ mod them ? I know shipping/condition varies the overall cost. (Also what’s your turnover time on a set? )

Hello Clay! very informative, thank you for showing your tips n tricks as well. I'm prepping to do a 2013 sprinter . I'm mechanically inclined but this will be my first Diesel! Does coolant need draining? How Do u properly bleed fuel line?

@sharpcarco

Well you don’t have to worry about leading the fuel line you just put a catch pan underneath it. Very very little will come out because the filter rest on the center of the intakes and if you’re careful you won’t spill hardly any at all

@sharpcarco

And as far as the coolant Once again just using the catch pan is just fine I’ve never had an issue with burping the system after I was done I just refilled it and then a day later check my reservoir and everything was good

Check your oil fill neck and make sure it is placed on to the valve cover properly physically remove it and make sure the gasket did not go bad Or it’s your vacuum pump that’s right on the front cylinder head near the Bulgaria sometimes the back of them leak as well

Hi you make nice high quality video of removing and installing air intake and turbocharger also exhaust pipe . But I didn't hear any thing about all those intake bolt and turbocharger torque specification . My friend he was doing the same job like you and now he turbocharger leaking engine oil . After searching he found leakage between . pedestal gasket and turbo charger . I told him to torque those two turbocharger Bolt to manufacture specification . He said he searched internet and he can't find anything about those torque specification . I'm wondering how you did it . You go by torque specification or you just go by guessing it's enough ?

Thank you for the uploads. These diesels are a PITA to work on. My two cents on future videos, dont add any trivia subtitles on videos mixed in with notes on repair video, it was distracting. I probably missed some details on repair because I didn't care about the trivia.

I appreciate the respective criticism James and the way you said it. Some people are real jerks about it then other people tell me they absolutely love it I only do it for the distraction part of it. Regretfully most people turn on a KZread video and find the portion of the video that they’re looking for and then do not watch the video which people watching videos is the only way you’re able to get paid. So when folks turn on a video and then watch it for a minute or two minutes, It drags down your CPM. Sometimes there are some super interesting facts and yes you may have to watch the video twice to be able to read the Facts and get the content you need. But keep in mind people are very shallow and do not appreciate when strangers do things for them so it was the only way I could see of actually getting people to watch the video and have retention Please try not to look down on me too much for doing it but I do enjoy putting that stuff down there it makes for great topics when there’s nothing else to talk about with the folks. I wish you the absolute best God bless and have a great day

@@davedeason1742 well, if you don’t have a scanner that reads live data. Then you can just ohm out the sensor you’re probably gonna have to remove the fuel filter and make sure it’s still moving back-and-forth I can almost tell you 99% sure that it’s probably stuck . That’s an extremely extremely common problem. And yes, it’s very expensive to fix. I say ohm out the sensor you have to move it to read the resistance when it’s in one position versus the other position . It doesn’t really matter what the resistance is supposed to be. There should be a resistance change. I do not know the resistance values of open versus closed. But chances are good. If the resistance values are different one the other the sensor is just fine. You can also switch the sensor wires and see if you have a different code. That’s probably the simplest way. And then that will test my theory if they are the same plug . I know they work identically so I know it won’t hurt anything.

At what point did you decide on replacing these intakes?

I appreciate your time. I know it’s not easy to make these videos. But I gotta say you had me until about 2:47 when you magically had everything removed. I’m currently balls deep in the removal process, and with as complicated a process as it is, I feel like you can’t just skip ahead to “well everything’s off now so that’s cool”. I consider myself a skilled mechanic and I’m sure I’ll be able to figure this out. But I feel like Skrat right now from Ice Age where he can see the acorn right in front of him but he just can’t get it. I’m sure I’m just bitter because it would’ve made my life a lot easier but maybe something to think about. Because if people get as far as getting everything off I’m sure they have the know-how or the necessary access to literature or whatever to get everything back on again.

That’s because this video is about installation and not removal. I know I have a video on removing the turbo but it’s not as good as this video on reinstallation and I address your concern about taking it apart by showing you how to put it together. And you are absolutely correct it took me over three weeks to make this video and one week of work and then another two weeks of editing. And it’s still not a great video
