I'd rather have a valve cover gasket issue than worn rings. Good news is, a free truck is worth getting an engine rebuilt if there is not any other major issues, transmission etc.
Popz is a wonderful person. He helps out with the FRAMILY so much. Glad to finally see him. I'm glad that you all had a great time at the barbecue on the mountain.
It was such a blast getting together with everyone! To all those people who throw mean adjectives to ANY of these people.....just know that they are so very incorrect. Joel and I witnessed true love, fellowship, sharing, kindness, thoughtfulness, warmth, and simply great down home FUN! I guess if you don't have any of that in your own life it would make you bitter and you would say mean things to hurt others. Prayers up for them. As for the FRAMILY? Nothin' but LOVE!!!!
Mike I really enjoyed your explaining your truck issues. You are always so positive and funny and make me laugh. Playing with the children while young makes them one day great fun filled parents too.
Mike when you get Betsy back go to the local parts store and get a can of engine restorer and it will help seal up the rings and make the engine last longer I have used it for years in a 79 f100 that finally gave up the ghost after 15 years of using engine restorer to try and keep from rebuilding the engine for the same thing your experiencing with betsy
I live by the Peter Pan rule. I’m just a big kid always have and always will. Love the positivity you and your family give out. Wishing all the best wishes and accomplishments. ❤
You all have a wonderful week can't wait to see a new video I love how the shelf coming along and that was a great idea by giving each of the boys their own room God bless you all enjoy your evening
I hope old Betsy will get outta intensive care soon. She's much needed with the homestead. Lyssa's makes that outfit look great. She's so pretty. I think y'all have accomplished so much since you have moved to Arkansas and I am looking forward to seeing more as the time goes on. Enjoyed the show.
Thank you for sharing your packages you receive. My husband has been needing this type of push stick for his saw and I didn’t know what it was called. I just ordered for him ❤
Good morning Mike how you doing hi Alyssa how you doing today looks like everybody's doing okay you guys have a good day and keep up the good work I'm proud of you guys each one of you God bless us each one of us God bless us all
Thank goodness for the innovative people. All inventors followed a different path and found success. It’s good to go against the grain sometimes to find new truths. Everyone is different. Let’s celebrate everyone. Stay true to yourselves. Love your channel and love the new ideas.
Hope you get Old Betsy back soon. Going to be nice to have your own refrigerator. Hope you two have a blessed day. Love you all. Take care from Cape Cod❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✌️🇺🇸
Lysa.. you are the best.. I caught all your undercover comments and I loved it. It's a shame yall get negative mean people coming at yall. You and Mike and the kids are awesome. You learn thru experience. Keep up the great work yall.. and for all you negative, mean and rude 'Karens' out there.. you don't have to watch their videos. And you gotta remember it's their life not yours...
I get you Lyssa, l have problems, l'm so use to doing everything myself and l get impatient to let go and except help doing things their way for me...l'm an 80 yr old female and have done things for myself always, l must learn to shallow my pride and accept their help ..love you guys Lady C from The Bahamas 🇧🇸
Keep being Child Like Mike !!!!! You’re not Childish !!! Being Child Like is keeping the Magic Alive Keep on Being you Live your Best Life !!!!! KEEP ON KEEPING ON !!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🙏🙏💛💛
Mike your always getting hurt.glad you had a great weekend. Great to see shell coming along.we love you all❤.there bad every where we have bad ones in nebr to.that would be great!!
I’m not the patient person I used to be very patient in my 20 & early 30s but I am finding the older I get the less patience I have. It’s not always easy but we have to try
I am so sorry Ole Betsy has so many issues kids. I honestly didn't know she was in that bad of shape. You know if we all did stuff the same way it would be a boring old world. we live in. I love you kids.
There are sanding sponges. You can use them wet or dry. If you wet sand, after everything dries, give it a light dry sand to give it a final smoothing. You are doing a great job for someone who doesn't do this.
Lyssa, we could be twins. I have the same olive green bibs. Looking very cute. You guys are doing amazing. Enjoy the gorgeous day. It's 80 here today. Much Love! Karen ❤👍🏼
Having an inner child enjoy life and have fun is healing to the soul I had to be adulting at a very young age by eleven I was doing all the cooking cleaning and house work so you can bet I get out with the children cut up play and if someone doesn't like it tough because I never got to have fun as a kid I make sure children have fun
Lyssa you look very pretty,I like your hat you are wearing. Your hair is getting longer. You are very pretty.just complimenting you. I love following your progress. Mike it is nice you got a nice refrigerator. You Lyssa you are so right. Explaining things. To each their own. So the saying gos.😊❤ my Birthday was the 29th. I am a Libra. Peace an love an harmony. No drama. ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊👍👍 Great chat mike an Lyssa. Hope you have a beautiful Day. Always a follower. Brenda moooooody 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤ Catch you guys later.
Awesome Fridge. I've replaced 3 in past 5 yrs of fancy big refrigerators that break 😠 And the Frigidaire i bought Mom 20 yrs ago STILL runs great in garage 😛. Loving drywall install. I myself dont like mudding seams 😩 But your shouse coming out awesome.
Mike, my truck like David's has been in the shop now going on 7 months. He changed the lifters, drove it a bit, figured some failed, changed them again. I had him check the oil pressure off the pump, it was good, but he removed the vale covers, and didn't get covered in oil. We both spent a weekend researching the issue, and we found a product called Motor Medic. I'm not sure if that answered the problem, but I told him, if it doesn't just go ahead and change the oil pump. I hope at the end of the day, the total bill is under the $3,000 I have set aside for it. In reality, changing the valve cover gaskets is not a $500 job. The gaskets are around $60 today, and the labor is less than 1.5 hours.
I took my push stick and put a piece of rope on it made about a six-inch loop on it and put it on the end of my saw fence or guide it was easy to pull off put my hand through the loop and use it, and it was always there. God Bless from your Canadian Friend.
The Pcv vacuum line coming off The back of the intake is notorious for getting absorbed with oil and collapsing on itself causing large vacuum lakes then allowing the intake gasket to Leak oil down into the spark plug hole Externally
@DreamingwithDrifters Any? Time you have any car related questions? Let me know I'm a master certified mechanic who done it for over 25 years and then retired that year era vehicles was my bread-and-butter. Glad to help from Kentucky.
Listening to your wife because I am the same way no patient you have to be calm about everything after that it will happen so just keep calm and don’t worry because I am the same way that is what my wife tells me but that’s I love yall show and bless yall
I’d rather have a valve cover gasket leak than worn piston rings. Oil collecting where the coil pack is NOT from blow by from worn rings. That’s coming from above. Blow by will cause the plugs to foul out and get loaded with oil but it won’t have the pressure to go past the threads and medal gasket on a spark plug unless the plug is loose. Someone is not giving you the right information. Hopefully it gets fixed correctly
I figured that was what was wrong with old Betsy. The o rings is causing it not to have compression. Therefore no power. They are right it will eventually mean rebuilding or replacing the engine. So no carrying those big water totes. Lyssa has a good head on her shoulders. Listen to her Michael. Michael your problem is want things done yesterday and it could be something that takes till tomorrow to finish. Lyssa you're right the same scenario isn't going to have the same outcome for everyone.
I'm Brazilian and I watch channels from all over the world and all of them are getting a lot of negative comments. These are strange times when people like to spread negativity. It can't be easy to deal with that. But it's not just you guys. Don't take these things so seriously. Keep doing the best for yourselves and your family.
Hey guys…looking rested today. Tell Mike to quit showing off those ‘purty legs’. I had to put on shades because the light was so bright….whew! Just kidding, glad you didn’t bruise your ribs like last time! Moderation my man, moderation! Glad to hear ole Betsy is gonna make it another day! You definitely need a truck on the homestead, so treat the old girl with tender care. Your place is looking good!
And Mike your only young once,! Enjoy life as you can now! Cause one day you won't be able to! Then you can look back at all the good times! Even if you happen to get hurt in the process we all learn from our mistakes! But you got to have fun! You just have to!😊❤
The news about old Betsy is not good news. If the rings are shot, the engine is about to blow. Please do not put any more money into that truck until that problem is corrected because it is not going to last much longer. You will have to go real easy on it. You might get a month or two out of it. Trust me, I know, I had one with the same problem.
Love you both. But you seem annoyed and burned out lately. If you don’t want to spread negativity,think about what you’re dumping on us when you make these statements. I don’t come here to be lectured.
@@ja_Iam don't come, Drifters don't need your negative thoughts, take your thoughts and words elsewhere if you can't be kind, every day is a different day, ups and downs...Dreamers keep dreaming we love you ❤️
I have been thinking the same thing myself. I'm not trying to be mean, but it is getting old hearing it. If you can't take the comment and move on, then block them. There is no sense in running off the viewers that do enjoy your content. Mean and rude people will stay mean and rude. What you choose to do with them is your choice. Remember, this is your livelihood. The way you earn your living, you don't need to lose good viewers to scold the bad ones. I hope my comment doesn't offend you. It is meant to let you know that the good viewers are more important than the bad ones.
it would be cheaper in the long run to rebuild your motorin Betsy than buying another truck. Because ifyou take in to effect of all the other money you had already spent after the engine rebuild u will have a like new truck
I'd rather have a valve cover gasket issue than worn rings. Good news is, a free truck is worth getting an engine rebuilt if there is not any other major issues, transmission etc.
Hope your family in FL are ok! And that your truck gets fixed soon!
Hey guys Glad to see ya'll had a good time this week end. Love ya'll.
You too!!
💜💜💜
Are you going to close that in where the refrigerator and all that on the tables are sitting for the winter
I struggle with patience when things are done differently too. Love your channels. Blessings to you both and the kids.
You’ve done amazing work on your homestead so far. Keep up the great progress.
Popz is a wonderful person. He helps out with the FRAMILY so much. Glad to finally see him. I'm glad that you all had a great time at the barbecue on the mountain.
You guys are a hard working lovely couple. Keep on keeping on 😘😘😘😘😘😘

Hi Mike & Lyssa. Good news about old betsy, but surely if you dont fix the piston ring problem your plugs will keep getting oiled up.
7:00 I agree Lyssa! ❤
We’ve had bad experiences with mechanics shops, too. Totally understand!

Thank you for being yourself. You have a huge heart. Don't change Lyssa loves you as you are. Keep on, keepin on.
Lyssa....YOU LOOK MARVELOUS DARLING!!😊❤
Hey Guys. It's been awhile, but just wanted to drop in and say hello 👋 ❤
I hope there will be videos of the cookout. I want to see all the fun, lol. Especially, you riding on the Ebike without a seat. 🤣
Hi Lyssa and Michael, you're doing a great Job! ❤🤗👍🏼
I hope old Betsy will get outta intensive care soon. She's much needed with the homestead.
Lyssa's makes that outfit look great. She's so pretty.
I think y'all have accomplished so much since you have moved to Arkansas and I am looking forward to seeing more as the time goes on.
Enjoyed the show.
Thanks a lot, Ronny!
Great video lyssa. you hit the nail on the head. We all try doing things our way.
Love you guys. I’m 81 years and wish I was u. ❤
Have a good day guys!
Oil cannot get around your spark. Plugs from Blow by unless your intake gasket is leaking.
Life is good just concentrate on the positive.
Hope it’s good news today. I can’t keep watching cause the wind chimes are to loud to hear you!
I really love hearing them. At first, I thought I was hearing mine, lol.
Good afternoon Mike & Lyssa 🤗
Glad to hear you guys are catching a break on the truck repairs. The hat looks really good on you Lyssa.

4:30 I had no clue you could even buy refrigerators at Walmart 😂
You'd be surprised at what you can buy from Walmart. I bought 3 urns ⚱️ for myself and 2 family members.
