all right well before we get started i just have to say i'm very excited
to announce that uh this is our first sponsored episode this is uh sponsored by
bertha's beef burgers and they want you to know um sorry i tried to memorize this um
what's that again oh yeah they got the beef they got the beef they got the beef yeah they got
the beef okay so big thank you to uh bertha's beef burgers and anyways now we can get at it
okay well today it's time for my p-pump to uh get cleaned up and painted i'm so happy with
how the transmission turned out uh i put a link in the description if you want to see that but
that was the last video i made um i really liked the way the paint set up and the way it hardened
it just has a great finish to it this thing should be good for 600 or 700 wheel horsepower
but it looks like something off an old tractor definitely ready to be cleaned up i've been uh
not looking forward to this for a long time because of all the nooks and crannies it's
really hard to clean stuff like this but i got some aircraft stripper this is from proform
it doesn't say to not use it on aluminum i'm going to do a little bit more research but i
think i'll use this and just be careful with it i love that this has a fighter jet on the front
and then immediately on the back says do not use on aircraft which is just perfect but anyways i'm
going to jump into this i'll be careful i'm going to pull off the fuel shutdown solenoid and sort of
dismantle as much as i can but i'm really looking forward to seeing this thing cleaned up like the
transmission and transfer case okay so anybody who isn't familiar with my truck or this pump
this is out of a 1996 dodge ram 3500 it has an automatic transmission which i'm pretty
sure means that this is a 160 horsepower p-pump okay so as i mentioned this thing has had a ton
of work done to it um if you want to see that i actually made a video talking about my p-pump mods
i'll put a link in the description for that but anyways uh once this thing's cleaned up it should
be good to go for a while i hope i had it at a diesel injection shop recently and
they gave it a clean bill of health and said that it's pumping out 460 cc's so
anyways uh time to get this thing cleaned up okay well anybody who watched the recent
transmission painting video will know that i was very happy with this little setup this is just a
nylon bristle brush that clicks into this quarter inch impact worked great for all the little nooks
and crannies i've never used something like this before and made such a big difference
and once again i'll be using this stuff here this is xylene i've never even heard of this stuff
before but worked great the fumes from it are terrible so i will definitely be wearing a mask
but anyways i'm gonna start getting this thing cleaned up and then that would go from there
before i get too ahead of myself i'm going to pull this o-ring off here
i think i might just try and clean this up as a complete unit just see how that goes first
and if i feel like i can get in all the nooks and crannies with brake cleaner and compressed air and
you know this uh xylene stuff and aircraft stripper and whatever else i think it would
probably be a little simpler overall to just keep this as a contained unit
but we'll see it might uh prove that that's not the case and maybe i will have to strip
it apart but i think for now i'm just going to try and just leave this as a complete thing
the first thing i'm going to do is hit this with some compressed air there's a lot of
little nooks and crannies i don't want to put anything on there and turn loose dust
into sludge that i got to fight with later so first thing is just get rid of all the easy stuff
it's amazing probably 90% of the paint is off it already
everything still looks filthy of course but uh
yeah just absolutely shocked so anyways i think i'm going to go ahead now and pull
off a couple items i'm going to remove this return line so i can get in back behind there
and then on this side i'll pull off the shutdown solenoid
and the linkage um the one thing about this is uh this was pulled off of a running truck and if i
put it back on you know most likely this is gonna work so i really have to be careful with stuff
like this um i'm very new to this there's a lot of linkage and stuff here and if i'm gonna take
it apart i need to know for sure that i can get it back together considering i've only been working
on this for an hour so i'm pretty shocked at how well it's coming along well would you look at this
man did that thing ever turn out well okay well as you can see this thing is actually
cleaned up way better than i ever would have expected without using the uh aircraft
stripper paint stripper stuff um that xylene for whatever reason on this paint uh just whipped it
to shreds super easily just put it on there and give it a light to go with a wire wheel on a
die grinder or on a drill or whatever and uh amazing how well it cleaned up in terms
of fixturing i have it just sitting on this engine plate i have this thing clamped to the
bench and as you can see there um i don't have it tightened right down but i've got
one on each side so it can't tip off and then the reason i have it hanging off the bench is because
i'm sure you can see but there's a shaft that hangs down there i have this taped off
because that's where the engine number is on here and when you talk to cummins it's nice to have
that available this case here i'm going to paint this uh when i paint the engine and i'm leaving
it greasy so the paint won't really stick so i'm not going to get too bent out of shape about that
i took the return line here off and cleaned that up and actually a big warning for those of you who
might be trying this i pulled all this linkage and stuff off and cleaned everything up and uh
on this one here this is right below the fuel shutdown solenoid there's a little uh
one of those keyway things it's like a little half circle that keeps this frame indexed properly on
the shaft anyways if you ever pull these off that one there which is by the fuel shutdown solenoid
and this one up here which is near where your idle adjust is be really really careful
okay let's clean this thing up okay well there's a full can of brake clean on there
I'm gonna blast it off with compressed air and continue on all right well it is time to
paint
all right well here we go three coats of primer let it dry for a bit i actually found this new
product called instapaint where uh you basically just look at the part and you hold the paint in
your hand and then you just go one two three wow i can't believe that actually worked holy
smokes totally thought that that was just some uh infomercial bs but insta paint really it's a thing
