Our Supercharged Monte Carlo Has Fuel Pressure Problems... We Upgrade the Pump AND Wires!
پیش 4 ماه
29,085
Last time out on the dyno Ralph decided to give us fuel pressure problems. The most likely culprit could be one of three things. The wiring going to the pump is too small/weak. The pump itself is too small...OR the pump sock is too close to the bottom of the tank! So we address all three in this video and confirm the results with a road test!

If someone says they haven't ever messed up crimping wires, they are 100% lieing or have never done it lol
Happy Belated Birthday Logan! People shouldn’t talk trash about you! You consistently work hard on the channel! Most times I feel like you work and try harder than Mitchell 🤣🤣🤣
Happy Birthday Logan! It’s fun to watch a couple of kids just figure it out and get shit done.
Thanks man. That’ll never stop because we have no idea what we’re doing 😂
Happy birthday Logan, You guy’s are doing a awesome job on the Monte Carlo.
Happy birthday Logan🎉 definitely had some great stories and throwbacks in this one! Excited to see all of the projects, and excited to see what race car build Logan is going for. Keep up the awesome work both of you!
I’ve watched every video up to the end, I love the genuine personality you two show. Stoked to see some progress on the Monte too!🤘🏼
The LEDs actually are flashing you can just see it through the camera because the frame rate slows down the frequency so that you can see the LED flashing. Constant LEDs have a steady light output while strobes emit bursts of it at regular intervals depending on the frequency they’re set at. Now back to the regularly scheduled programing.
You guys are by far my favorite channel to watch. Most involved with helping others and showing us the day to day. It's truly appreciated!!
This video is a a reset back to how we used to do things. Over time I’ve thinned out videos to be more and more about the work…and it’s become less and less fun. You know what? There’s nothing wrong with having fun at the same time. So we’re gonna get back to that 💪🏻 Merch link: stapletonautoworks.com
Watch at 1.5 times if time is really an issue.
@nathan olmstead great tip
When I do wire joints, in offset the connections by an inch or so. Zero chance of joints contacting, and taping or looming the wires there isn't a big bulge
Happy birthday Logan, Mitchell's lucky to have such a hard working, get in there an get it done type and such a pretty young althentic dedicated girl
I was wondering when you were going to relax and have fun again damn it.
Thumbs up for the"professional" wiring tip, I mean voltage drop over distance... . electric 101. But as far as fuel pump wiring, the crimp connectors are totally the way to go in the tank. They are on my daily right now
Just ask the 4x4 guys with all the lights, they usually have awesome melting stories
Great point! Its often overlooked for electrical runs from front to back
I have a bad rc problem. I tig welded up an all metal axial Smt10 4 years ago. Castle 4500kv motor, mamba x esc, jconcepts tribute wheels, and renegade tires. Not the fastest, but I Also a traxxas slash 4x4 with a 1/8 scale setup for 6s. Its too fast. And a no prep drag rc nova. traxxas based but alot of aftermarket.....well everything. Spent way too much on rc hobby in the last 5 years. But being single father, me and my son gotta get out and have fun. And gets him started with mechanical objects. Get out that lmt and I would watch
Well, you two... you complement each other more than perfectly. I cant wait to see you get back on the Uncle George build... you're doing awesome work. My best to you both, and happy belated birthday, Logan. Regards Stuart from Exeter, Devon, England
Pro tip for those wanting to use heat shrink tubes in a fuel tank get the clear ptfe stuff. It's expensive, but it will hold up to being submerged in gas and ethanol.
I’ve been following y’all for a long while. Me and my girlfriend always watch y’all’s videos when we get home. The notifications are always a sign for a good day. Because of your videos, my girlfriend and I have spent a lot more time in the shop the last 2 years. We greatly appreciate the content!! Also, happy birthday Logan!!
Happy birthday, Logan! And also awesome to see the Monte running again with the fuel pump wiring upgrade. Hopefully that was the fix! Ready to see this rig get more reliable and used more 🎉🤘🏻
Happy Birthday Logan! Hope you guys have an amazing day 🤘 man I feel your pain about Mickey Mouse Clubhouse haha my youngest will be 3 in augest and is obsessed with it lmao PS, take your RC everywhere!!!! Also just became a full on member 🤘 can't believe I didn't see the join button sooner
Love watching you guys learn and teach from experience
Happy Birthday Logan. When Logan asked Mitchell "How's it hanging?" Was hoping Mitchell would have said can you check for me bit busy at the moment. Mitchell you can make as many trailer park jokes as you live in an RV. Hope Logan got her pancakes.🥞
Happy Birthday Logan!! Love the content guys, you just keep doin what you do. :)
I've been following you guys for a good long time. I love you both cuz you show what real work of this type looks like for the 90% of us who don't have million dollar shops with sponsored state of the art equipment everywhere and all that. I work just like you two do, and I take pride in it and do the absolute best possible like you do.
Thank you Winston
Of course I watched till the end I’m in for the whole journey not just the highlights. The lessons on buying is spot on be prepared to buy and prepared to walk away from junk..happy birthday Logan! I’ll leave you with a quote God dang my wife thinks I’m at Walmart you can’t be posting this shit
Don't worry Mitchell, I've had more brain farts working on stuff like that than I care to admit. Happy Birthday Logan! I hope you had a wonderful day and got your pancakes👍
The Monte Carlo looks and sounds so damn good! I had to do something similar to the fuel pump on my eagle talon back in the day. Good work guys! Happy birthday Logan! 🎉 Oh, I always watch all the way to the end. 🤘
Thanks man we are glad you’re here
I love the content and thank you for doing what you do and thank you for appreciating us 😁 p.s. can't wait to see when Logan gets a car
Honestly I’d love to see you take Ralph out to some road courses or go do some autocross, that stuff looks like so much fun
I always have a good laugh watching y’all. Enjoyed the ending also
Happy birthday Logan! Also appreciate the opening quote Mitch. Little advice while using a jack, mainly to save your back Logan, at least have one foot on the ground so your not killing your upper body. Leg weight really helps especially generally lacking mass lol jk
HAPPY B-DAY Logan!!! Can't wait to see y'all back at a drag track finally! Doesn't matter where, just wana see y'all have sum fun with all the hard work you been putting in these vehicles!💯
Happy Birthday Logan!!!! Tell all of the haters to suck a fart! You do you. It's awesome seeing how much more comfortable you are while the camera is rolling.
Thanks for doing what you guys do.You’re part of the reason why I started my own channel. You’ll always have a fan in Pittsburgh!
Thanks man 💪🏻
Keep it up. I enjoy watch you both just dive in and figure stuff out. Waiting for it to warm up. So I can drop my front suspension and engine. Cam, intake, headers, and fuel pump. Can't wait. But love your projects.
Thank you Donald we are glad you’re here!
Happy Birthday Hogan! Love watching you 2. Be goofy it's fun. Had to redo crimp ends more times than I care to admit. They did not have youtube when I was y'alls age
@Logan Erwin Hi Logan :) Thats the way we Mechanics learn, is from our Mistakes, I have made a lot of mistakes but i learned from them and i dont make them any more :) You are Such a Sweetheart , keep up the Great Videos, Chellie, Retired Fleet Equipment Mechanic
Thank you Ben! We have a lot of fun together. & always try to learn from past mistakes, you can’t be great without making the mistakes and learning from them :)
Mad video man & Happy Birthday to Logan, always watch all the way through & this was great with good laughs at things we've all done wrong or for lack of knowledge ha ha cheers
Happy Belated Birthday Logan. I was away rom the internet the last few days. Its always a great video when you guys show your passion for cars and having a good time.
Thank you Dan! We have a lot of fun together!
I hope you had a great birthday Logan, the Monte Carlo sounded awesome on the road test. Keep up the great work . Steve UK 🇬🇧
Happy birthday Logan! Great job on the fuel pump and hoped yall enjoyed richard Childress vineyards. Place is pretty sweet. Keep up the great work!!! Look forward to yall proceeding!
im always doubting myself . been car guy since i was 3 , so i appreciate what you did under the car . you checked prior to putting the tank in. some guys would throw it in and then have to take it back out cuz they didnt check . you got it buddy
I enjoy your content a lot and always watch to the end😊 Ps. happy birthday Logan🥳 greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
She pumped that Jack about 50 times after it was all the way up lol, we've all done it. Respect for how hard she works🇺🇲
One of the best and realist channels on youtube..look foward to your videos...watch them all ..you and Logann work so well together and the witty banter makes the videos a little more personal..keep it up brother ..your killing it!
Thanks man 💪🏻
I watch til the end every video just the way I am once I'm watching I gotta watch all of it! Y'all are living the life that most of us wish we were doing! 🍷🍾
Happy belated birthday Logan. You guys are badass. I love bringing new tech to old school muscle. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!!😄
If you have to drain tanks often, get an external electric fuel pump, wire it to cigarette lighter or battery clips. Add a hose on the inlet to feed in the tank, and another to pump on destination container. If you’re snazzy you can add a ball valve to turn off/on flow.
Damn brotha that car is sounding amazing :D keep up the good work and glad to see you two are doing good!
Thanks man!
Happy birthday Logan, sorry it's a day late. Hope u had a great day!!! I watch every single video start to finish. I don't always comment but I do watch every single one. Stoked u got the Ralph figured out. Uncle George's frame looks awesome too. She is a trooper lol
Just watch the Video. Happy Belated Logan! I love All the innuendo’s, inside jokes, & the unedited content that y’all leave in that most channels wouldn’t because there afraid of not being Political Correct! The mistakes and learn as you go car/truck building is what gives the rest of us the confidence to go out and try it. If you have to modify it or redo it? That’s OK too. Keep the Great Content!
Thanks man. We are real
Love the video! Ralph sounds amazing! Happy birthday Logan!!! Keep up the amazing work!
Ah yes, the connector pull test! I need to redo my pump wiring in my tank. Whenever I first put the car together, it ran so I took it to get dyno tuned over an hour away. Wouldnt start when I got there. Get it home and it worked fine lol. Was losing connection somewhere after the connector on top of pump going inside but couldn't get it to replicate anymore. Hasn't done it since, so I haven't bothered 😂
Happy Birthday Logan! Hope you enjoyed the Pancakes 🍳 Have to admit I hid crushed butt connectors in my pocket as the wire fell out and tried again..😤
😂😂😂
Love the videos, and all the extra content at the end, iv watched all your videos multiple times keep it up 👍
I have watched all your videos the very very last second. I love how you guys talk about what you're doing and how you're doing it and don't hide the fact that you are human and make mistakes.
P.S. I almost forgot to wish her a happy birthday and I hope she gets her pancakes. 😁
They sure tie those tie downs in real good. Take a half hour to get em out.
Love every minute of your video's. Doesn't matter how long you work on cars there is always that seems routine that will go horribly wrong.
Absolutely 😂 thanks man
Power to the relay coil the other terminal goes to ground. The coil pulls in the load side of the relay sending current to the pump and using the larger AWG wires you should have no voltage drop at the pump. Just make sure your using the right size fuse on the power side of the relay. I believe it is ground side switched. Thanks for sharing catch you on the follow-up video 🇺🇸👍
Happy birthday Logan. I watch until the end of the videos. I enjoy the goofy nature of you two working together.
Thank you Chris we appreciate you!
That frame looks great! I used the Por15 on my Tacoma frame. I sprayed the inside when it was new to make sure it wouldn’t rust. Some of the paint is still on my tool box. We used it at work on a water feed tank for a high pressure boiler. I just scraped the loose rust and it stayed rock hard. After it cured I was banging on the paint with a big ball peened hammer and it didn’t even scratch it. I used the silver color. Happy Birthday! Logan
That’s awesome! Thanks Bruce 💪🏻
Great video, I watched to the end. People don’t usually show when they make a mistake. It happens to everyone
Happy Birthday Logan! Keep up the great work on the videos, Ralph sounds like a beast!, cant wait for some track videos!
Thank you Chris!!
Happy Birthday Logan, and good luck with the search. I always get excited about the Monte, sounds amazing and my parents had one when I was little.
Another great video. No matter that the project is more "basic" and common compared to all your others.
Love the goofiness of this channel. All of the history and racing stuff you guys do is really cool too.
@Stapleton42 of course, man. Appreciate the effort you put into it
Thanks man we appreciate you
All lights, especially street lamps, are actually flashing on and off extremely fast in order to save power.
the push pull pump moment was classic... 🇺🇸🤘🤘🇺🇸 ps. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOGAN!!!!
Happy belated birthday Logan. I usually try to watch your videos the day they post but didn't get to this one until now, but as always I watch to the end.
Lower gauge wire = thicker wire = more amperage. Your volts are the same no matter the wire size.
Good luck on the car front for Logan, and happy birthday Logan keep up the good work guys
Just realized that I found your channel because I was looking for a Monte Carlo build in a stock car style. Love the Mr. Goodwrench scheme. I too am planning black wheels, but want Goodyear Eagle lettering, if that's possible in a street legal tire. Gotta have the same side exhaust too. Crate na engine + Tremec, 5-point, 9 in rear and more. Great build and channel. You've got a an old soul like my oldest. My wife would approve - as would our grandkids 😯
Glad to see you working on the Monte again. Keep doing what you're doing, enjoy the content. It's great to see someone on IRglo building a first gen Monte. Thanks for being different! Keep it up. Oh yeah, suck it!
Thank you Gary we appreciate you!
Oh yeah, happy birthday Logan!
Found your channel when you had the escalade tuned at pfi. Watched every video till the end since. I don't always catch them on the first day but watch them all. Love what you guys are doing.
Thank you Chris 💪🏻
Y’all’s sense of humor is quite hilarious 😂 I watch these videos for all the jokes😂 the monte looking good as well! Happy birthday Logan. 🎂 best sponge bob quote ever right here “I don’t need it, I definitely don’t need it, I NEEEEEEEEEDDDDDD IIIIITTTTT!!!!!!💧
Happy birthday Logan! Hope it's been great. Your commentary about doing stupid stuff - yup, we've all been there. I was earlier tonight when trying to get some stuff done on my own projects. And yes, I watch to the end.
I am definately one of the ones who watch each video from beginning to end, no matter how long or short the video is. I also love that you have fun on the videos. That's what I love to see.
Thanks man we appreciate you!
Always fun to watch you 2! Just ordered some canna dip been looking for it! Happy B-Day Logann
Such a cool collection of cars man Especially the rolls 👌 can’t wait to see more of it , Monte Carlo is a beast too You and your wife are like the classic American couple from what I have seen when watching anything American 😂 love it 👌 Big love from Liverpool England 🇬🇧
