You are assuming that the failure was your fault, but there was also probably a reason the truck was parked. The previous owner probably overheated it at some point, causing the damage and the temperature gauge has probably been faulty for a while.
Showing all the detail in time lapse with your narrative is great. Sorry to see those cracks, I look forward to the repair and hope you get it to your vision.
I really liked how you did that too, for someone who knows nothing about vehicles or parts its nice how you explain it. Id love to see little red arrows pointing :D
I absolutely love that I can watch Cabover stuff and then storm chasing in the same 30 minutes. Thanks Hunter. Now I’m pumped about your cabover project.
So I am a diesel tech up here in Oregon. I have a small repair business in the north side of the state. I have rebuilt several 3406 cats. I can tell you that there is no hi pressure oil in the cylinder head on one. Only oil to go above the block is from the push tubes. It drains back down thru the head to the oil pan. That truck was missing on multiple cylinders and blowing coolant out the exhaust. I’m betting that you have a head gasket out between 2 cylinders or a broken liner. It’s quite possible with the color of the water in the radiator that the liners did get worm holes. Don’t ever ever ever run a Diesel engine with just water in it. The harmonics of the combustion paired with the surface tension of straight water will erode the metal on the engine. And some engines take very few miles gif this to happen. Notice that water will dome over the top of a glass but antifreeze won’t. It can’t hold the air pockets that will burst with combustion in a block and eat out the metal. Also if you look for an older Ford 8000 Canadian they had a whale belly frame on them that is like you are talking about. I know where there is one here in Oregon that has a 3208 cat and a 10 yard dump box on it. He might even be willing to let it go for cheap. Keep up the good work!
Great job narrating your video’s and the way you explain your work in a very clear way. Your expertise knowledge is something most mechanics wouldn’t ever be able to do. The teaching is done in a way that’s easy to understand and you place emphasis on the areas that are most important.
As exciting as it is to chase tornadoes, please don’t push your luck too far, because I really wanna see you build that truck! Those magnificent winds can easily have a hypnotising effect. Please, please be extra careful and take care of yourself.
No Way in Hell! I’m not that Kinda Kid. My Ole’ Man was Taught to Respect Mother Nature & Passed that on to Me. Not Necessarily Afraid of a Storm but Sure as Shit not Chasing after One! Good Luck to you, God Bless & Keep It Safe Out There
Should have subbed a long time ago, but this vid pushed me over the edge. Keep the good content coming brother, I'm excited to see what's coming! I'd also love to see more about your stormchasing rig!
I'm sorry the damage was so bad,but with 900k on it,it's probably worth a full rebuild,it did sound like an old trawler I fished on😂, The best of Irish luck with your project, can't wait to see the end result 👍🇮🇪.
That's a bummer the truck is down .....plans seem real interesting.....would've been nice if u could've made a lil money with the truck first but I guess the engine couldn't make it It happened that way for a reason.
Looks like you were in the rear inflow jet. Probably my favorite place to be. Watching the wind lift moisture and dirt from the ground and sucking it into the vortex and into the updraft. Spectacular.
Anybody seen Hunter ...... since the cabover broke down the channel has gone silent ....... no more shenanigans? ......... Hope all is well with u Florida man.
As long as you're having fun, and love what it is that you're doing, it's not really job the way I feel about, and I taught that to my sons too. As soon as its no longer fun, and something that you truly enjoy, and it's getting to more stressful than anything else. It's time to rethink what you're doing, and figure out if there's a way to get back to when it wasn't a heart attack pending, because life is too short to burn yourself out for the benefit of others with nothing left for yourself at the end. Excellent content, and when you slow down you really do have a entertaining, and informative channel that compliments you as a person. Head up shoulders back, keep your eyes firmly in the direction of your goals. Make a comprehensive plan, and never change from the plan, slight modifications are expected, but never change the core of your plans. By doing this, and not deviating from them, because someone else wants you to do more of what they want. They're not interested in you or your plan, they're out for whatever you can do for them. Walk away if it's not a mutual benefit for both parties, and then base that on the amount of effort each party is bringing to the agreement.
The Day its registered and then blows the head gasket. HAHHAhhahhahhaha BTW, this tear down and voice over was most excellent!! Full breakdown and all details on the work you do. Kickass Hunter!!
In case it’s true the sleeves could be pitted enough to allow mixing oil and water through the cylinder walls. Just a thought with mileage as high as it is. Love the storm chasing as well! Best of luck on both ventures.
Well it really doesn’t matter what you call them. Sleeves liners or whatever. That’s what I always called them when I was putting the engines together back in the early 90’s.
No argument from me apparently everyone calls them liners. I honestly don’t care. The definition says they are basically the same depending where your from. Now that I’m retired I really don’t care.
What a fantastic video....two of my favorite things: trucks and tornados. Glad your not stretching the frame just to stretch but you're doing it for a cool reason. More axles...I love it!
Bro!!! Truck content is cool but your first hand view of the tornadoes is straight 🔥 . Freaking awesome. My wife and I live in Texas near the coast and we do that shit during hurricanes. Sketchy as hell, but you only live once until you dont. The adrenaline rush is so addictive 🎉🎉🎉
I'm now subscribed! If you are really going to build the truck that you just drew in this video, on this TH-cam channel, then be prepared for a HUGE jump in subscribers. That will probably be the coolest build on the entire internet! I am now patiently waiting for day one of "The Coolest Toterhome" build on the internet. 👍
I'm looking at your drawing of the future truck after all the modifications are done and I'm wondering how your going to need 2 steer axles with all that frame space. You said the living quarters wouldn't add that much weight. I'm not seeing the need for 2 steer axles since it's going to be very difficult to add much weight to them from the 5th wheel with it being so far back. Maybe I just don't understand how much weight your planning for but it seems to me an extra steerable tag axle or two would work better instead of a 2nd steer axle. Granted I have never driven a truck that grossed over 94k lbs so I may simply not understand what is needed for what your planning to haul. In any case I used to drive a Ford ctl 9000 and once you get used to the cab lean they ride great but boy a dry van looks like its gonna roll over on you in the west coast mirror in curves and turning corners. Brings back a lot of memories. One of them is the sound of the windshield wipers that are air actuated. Thanks for the trip down memory lane and for the video. Good luck with your build. I can't wait to see the finished dream truck.
Hey hunter, if you havnt seen him already, watch “adept ape” I know I’ve heard him say cracks on certain model cylinder heads just happen and the engine will run fine with them, this one being so extreme I’m sure it’s not the case, but he’s awesome and a very good teacher.
Wow man, this is epic content, a sick engine teardown followed by some tornado chasing, WICKED !, subbed up and looking forward to your truck build !!!
On my first big truck {87 LTL 9000} 3weeks into being a new owner/op. my 3406 broke a piston cooler nozzle of and cooked the O rings out of 2 cylinders . From what CAT did to my bank account over those years , I recommend a NTC swap . Add pump problems and it gets worse .
Great video, can’t wait to see the build. The oil and coolant mix could possibly be the liners. I also agree the 3406b with jakes is a better platform.
Usually that happens when a liner sinks. Probably need to have the counterbores cut and shimmed to lift the liners back up. Just from my experience twice. Good luck tho ! Good video !
If you only needed the head to last a few thousand more miles you should have ran head gasket sealer through it. I've seen it work too many times not to try it.
Id run it with those cracks. Had 3 plus cracks on my cummins all the way into the injector hole had it pressure checked came back good. That was 3 years ago and 25k+ miles.
keen to see that project come to life will be following. new subscriber from New Zealand gained. I love heavy D's channel, but at times lacks some of the nitty gritty with engine repairs. Love how you did a voice over describing in detail, yourself taking that engine apart. very cool. Also never cared for storm chasing but am now extremely interested
Just wanted to say that there's no good tornado in the world okay hunter your a good man but keep your tornadoes in your state okay thanks Charles Williams
Cat guy hear...you have a crack between cylinders, real common on cats and once you pull your linings you will see it. If it's not bad, you can throw some led at it and that will seal it up, along with new linings, pistons, mains exc...
I think you may wanna check your liners for cavitation holes or cracks, as much as I love them cat engines they will not take that heat! With that engine being so old, and having 900k+ miles on it, I’d imagine you have cavitation holes and cracks in the side of your liners. I’d at least do an in frame on it while you have it apart!
Hi, just found your channel, What cat engine is this? 3406e? C15? just wondering. What model and year is this truck? is it old K100? thanks. Are you going rebuilt this engine or find another Cat? C16 or C15 6nz? Good video, Can't wait see you do all this work on Cabover.. Keep up good work :)
We have never haven't a tornado here in Tucson Arizona in over 100 years due to how we are surrounded by mountains on all 4 sides. I love them though . used to chase them in Ohio where I'm originally from
I enjoy your videos. I have a question for you have you ever driven a truck with a double steer axle? I have I have not driven one that rode smoothly or was comfortable to drive. They have steer axles that can act as a tag axle I would highly recommend you test drive one if you have it before you make that decision, Cabover is a rough enough ride as it is I know I own them. I love them but the double steer axles are insane. On the rough ride. Good luck sir. Can’t wait to see how it comes out.
Thanks for the cabover content; takes me back to my Dad's time in the saddle and getting to ride with him in his International. All the best and good luck with things!
Everything is fixable. You got a nice truck. All part of owning older trucks. When you get it the way you want and get those compliments it's all worth it
Good video with the time elaspe and voice over great way to do it, helped it flow smothly, and informative and interesting. Wouldn't the crack determine why you have both if crack goes to exhaust and or intake it would allow both in !Or possible more damage further in! Keep up the good work your own as you can and width the team, hopefully you can find a balance, understand you do not have time to always get video every week, but enjoy when you do and with the team you always standout and it is better with you there, and we get to see you there and then when you do uploaded a video it is unigue and a bonus or treat! Catch you next time!
As a Kansas born resident I've been thru a few nados myself and typically you can't tell which way they are going or coming towards you and they can move up to 150mph or more depending on the category storm chasers mostly spot severe weather and report it to nws in the area
I would say you might should do a full overhaul because I believe there are orings in the sleeves that could leak coolant into the oil. Ask a cat mechanic what they recommend.
I suspect that the coolant was old, and you were getting some hot spots on the cylinder sleeves. I bet that if you get into it, you'll find perforated sleeves.
One of my favorite videos you've done yet. An awesome detailed breakdown of an engine that fewer people have experience with and then some sweet storm chasing. Keep it up, dude!!!
Hence why learning the vehicle's possibly abused history is highly important, WHY was it parked and sold. I often try and get info from neighbors etc..
Why dont ya change the title with adding 'Tornado' to it... more clicks. I really enjoyed this video... Going from Trucking to stormchasing without bs just straight forward. Apreciate that! Great video!
Dang you have some great videos. You also are very knowledged on working with these old trucks. Watched your engine swap out first. You rock son . And I like that cab over too. The truck had a 99% chance of being parked because it had head issue. Thats my guess. Not your fault
when you put the head back on your gonna need torq mulitie by 4 times 600 ft pounds when reman head! cats are know for that! there a heavy hauler in canada he russian trans plant in black kw 880 his name SERGEI DRATCHEV i told go to local auto store for rear gearing for his new car it was not to his liking speeds it ran engine (on vacation in USA) in motel room on line chat! I did like my 2016 chevy truck either till it glued to seats & thing called super charger decided to turn on like full power! oh boy what the adjustment for this thing! the cruse control & it left on when braked first time after set there white light on dash it turns green when set it then set on spin charger as speed or drag needs it! it setup for towing trailer! wake my legs up when i get there to stop or turn it nice!
God I hate Cabinovers. Back in my day it was where you started out. My first Car was a 73 Mack one stacker with a 31'' bunk, a 237HP and 5speeds. All for 54mph downhill with a tailwind. LOL No AC in Aug. and 126` heat and I loved it.
Awesome video Hunter. It's really cool to see your videos getting better and better each time. You're doing a great job keep up the good work. Sorry about your dream truck but you'll have it going better than it was before in no time
15:00 Why you gotta be ''status-quo-secrets guys? I'll come back and check-see where you're at. So many ''almost kickin -ass channels do this and lose so many subs. I guess, if it floats your boat, more power to ya. 'Member....... KEEP ON TRUCKIN'.
That reminds me of when my #1 injector tip broke and cracked my head. The oil in coolant, could be a separate problem. The oil cooler on cats are notorious for wearing out and cracking
You should have turned it off as soon as you heard the clattering going on. Someone got the head too hot. Pyrometer most likely not working as well. To let you know exhaust temperature. Got to keep exhaust down as well as water temps. Heads don't take that very well as you see here. Once the head is removed might as well tear it on down all the way. Too much blow by from the piston rings building pressure in the crankcase and the radiator due to head gasket and the cracks in the head. Brake saver cutting off the exhaust is not a good idea and can cause head problems on down the road; best to use 3 position jake brake assemblies for all diesel engines. Do not use brake saver because it builds internal head pressures that the head is not designed to hold. The engine is to be free flowing and never restricted in anyway. That is why we use Jake Brake Assemblies on long downgrades. Brake saver is a poor man's excuse for an engine braking system. Need to get your General Ham license and let others know you're a spotter so that you can report your locations and let others know the track of the tornados and which way they are going. If you are serious about being a storm-spotter. You keep getting that close to the tornadoes and your going to have a short history as a tornadoe tracker.
I was sitting here thinking 🤔 probably shouldn't let that run. Cause it's probably running coolant in your oil dude! LMFAO 😆🤣 😂 pulls dipstick out! Dad always said don't be dumb man.
been workin on these engines 25+ years, the b model is an ok motor, C series is whatcha really want, yep water getting in the cylinder will not compress so thank god it went by the rings and into the crank or you can bend rods or crack pistons. you’re getting diesel fuel in the coolant from the piston pushing it in there thru the cracks on its compression stroke. you do have a mess on your hands, ya gotta get that all outa the system by using like purple power, remove the oil cooler it had to be cleaned it replaced get new oil in it asap and don’t be surprised if you need to do a few oil changes to get it allll out or pull the motor apart and clean it… that water will hide on low non draining areas and it takes forever to get it out of the engine just doing oil changes … it’s a process that’s for sure
Isn't there risk of lightning striking when you are walking around outside your vehicle? That footage is crazy, I would be shitting my pants. They always told us to get out of the car and lay flat in a ditch, if you see a funnel come over.
🔥right on man.. just a beautiful truck, grew up at farm and we had old binder flat nose, was so fun riding it there. FYI TH-cam unsubscribe me from your Chanel.. i was wondering y never seeing any your new videos 🔥👊🔥🔨⚙️🏍🚜
You are assuming that the failure was your fault, but there was also probably a reason the truck was parked. The previous owner probably overheated it at some point, causing the damage and the temperature gauge has probably been faulty for a while.
Sounds like it was running fine for a while before he ran it with no temp gauge got way too hot and cracked the head now a cheap gauge cost a head
he did say it had almost a million miles haha
@@rockyrivermushrooms529 one of the trucks the guy I work for is a 2019 and has 1.2 million kilometres
@@XxXiceyXxX2 So what?
900k miles is ready for a rebuild. Also 1.2km is only 750k miles....so that is less than 900k miles....
Showing all the detail in time lapse with your narrative is great.
Sorry to see those cracks, I look forward to the repair and hope you get it to your vision.
I really liked how you did that too, for someone who knows nothing about vehicles or parts its nice how you explain it. Id love to see little red arrows pointing :D
I absolutely love that I can watch Cabover stuff and then storm chasing in the same 30 minutes. Thanks Hunter. Now I’m pumped about your cabover project.
Very cool being a storm chaser.
Youll want to check your oil cooler as well to see if thats leaking as well getting oil in your water. Its pretty common on those cat engines

Could be oil cooler b blocks bad for that
I really love your tornado videos. Keep doing them dude.
well lad old engines almost always have cracks in the head, only matters if you lose pressure, when the crack hits valve seat it mattere
In case it’s true the sleeves could be pitted enough to allow mixing oil and water through the cylinder walls. Just a thought with mileage as high as it is. Love the storm chasing as well! Best of luck on both ventures.
They are called liners.
Well it really doesn’t matter what you call them. Sleeves liners or whatever. That’s what I always called them when I was putting the engines together back in the early 90’s.

Wow Hunter you’re so well rounded and interesting!! You are a very smart dude! Have fun And be safe!
Hello Hunter I am from UK just watched all your videos. Think your doing a great job on TH-cam. Hope everything is working out for you.
We get it...
You vape...🤣
What a fantastic video....two of my favorite things: trucks and tornados. Glad your not stretching the frame just to stretch but you're doing it for a cool reason. More axles...I love it!

check under the cam follower cover. I saw a block crack just there, lack of antifreeze!
BEST Footage EVER and how is it that you go and just find it so easy???
Coolant in the oil maybe bad orings on the sleeves, cracked sleeves or rust on the sleeves etc
Excellent storm video Hunter and the Truck is going to be on good build

Was thinking about the same when seeing it has a Cat engine
Wow man, this is epic content, a sick engine teardown followed by some tornado chasing, WICKED !, subbed up and looking forward to your truck build !!!
On my first big truck {87 LTL 9000} 3weeks into being a new owner/op. my 3406 broke a piston cooler nozzle of and cooked the O rings out of 2 cylinders . From what CAT did to my bank account over those years , I recommend a NTC swap . Add pump problems and it gets worse .

Hunter your imagination is pretty wild, But pretty dang cool!! I will make some really good content!! #BuiltByBo
Working on your rig out in the yard while shirtless is our African and Asian Vibe....so..... great stuff fellow African brother!!😅😅😅👊👊
If you heart my comment I’ll fix my bmw that’s been sitting for months now. Love your vids though. You were my favorite ‘character’ in diesel crew
Man. I'm in awe of your skills. This is just fantastic to watch. Thanks so much for sharing with all of us. Genuinely impressed!!
Id run it with those cracks. Had 3 plus cracks on my cummins all the way into the injector hole had it pressure checked came back good. That was 3 years ago and 25k+ miles.
So whatever happened to Skeeter?
Need to be careful flat towing, it can destroy the transmission. Should disconnect the drive shaft so the transmission output shaft wouldn't turn.
Really looking forward to seeing your build. Best of luck!

Cat mechanic hear , you hit the nail on the head. One must always check coolant conditioner on cat engines to stop liner cavitation! 😢
You get to enjoy being an adrenaline junky and we get to watch. Fantastic!
I’m really enjoying the time lapse with the audio overlay it really gives us more content!!! Keep it up!
Hi, just found your channel, What cat engine is this? 3406e? C15? just wondering. What model and year is this truck? is it old K100? thanks. Are you going rebuilt this engine or find another Cat? C16 or C15 6nz? Good video, Can't wait see you do all this work on Cabover.. Keep up good work :)
It's a Ford CL-9000 Cabover
We have never haven't a tornado here in Tucson Arizona in over 100 years due to how we are surrounded by mountains on all 4 sides. I love them though . used to chase them in Ohio where I'm originally from
Hunter, you have to do more of the storm chasing videos. I love that one.
Safe Journey! CHOLULA!!!
So you’re building your tractor to haul your storm chasing vehicle pretty cool!!
Hunter, all of this is great content, thank you!! Really digging the storm chasing. TOTALLY JEALOUS!!!
LOL, bro I know what its like to zero meter a circ like that. lots of fun but also makes me nervous lol.
I enjoy your videos. I have a question for you have you ever driven a truck with a double steer axle? I have I have not driven one that rode smoothly or was comfortable to drive.

Now you know why that truck has been sitting for ages 😂
At least it blew smoke rings lol😂
Thanks for the cabover content; takes me back to my Dad's time in the saddle and getting to ride with him in his International. All the best and good luck with things!
Everything is fixable. You got a nice truck. All part of owning older trucks. When you get it the way you want and get those compliments it's all worth it
OK. the smoke rings are hilarious!
I think with blowby from the turbo containing coolant it’s reasonable to see coolant in the oil. Could also point to cracked cylinders
Good video with the time elaspe and voice over great way to do it, helped it flow smothly, and informative and interesting. Wouldn't the crack determine why you have both if crack goes to exhaust and or intake it would allow both in !Or possible more damage further in!
Keep up the good work your own as you can and width the team, hopefully you can find a balance, understand you do not have time to always get video every week, but enjoy when you do and with the team you always standout and it is better with you there, and we get to see you there and then when you do uploaded a video it is unigue and a bonus or treat! Catch you next time!
As a Kansas born resident I've been thru a few nados myself and typically you can't tell which way they are going or coming towards you and they can move up to 150mph or more depending on the category storm chasers mostly spot severe weather and report it to nws in the area
Jake brakes are going to be a game changer
I would say you might should do a full overhaul because I believe there are orings in the sleeves that could leak coolant into the oil. Ask a cat mechanic what they recommend.
Find a triple nickel cummins and make a twinstick
I suspect that the coolant was old, and you were getting some hot spots on the cylinder sleeves. I bet that if you get into it, you'll find perforated sleeves.
One of my favorite videos you've done yet. An awesome detailed breakdown of an engine that fewer people have experience with and then some sweet storm chasing. Keep it up, dude!!!
Dang that’s a bummer. The truck seemed like such a strong runner. Can’t wait to see the build.
Hence why learning the vehicle's possibly abused history is highly important, WHY was it parked and sold. I often try and get info from neighbors etc..
Why dont ya change the title with adding 'Tornado' to it... more clicks.
I really enjoyed this video... Going from Trucking to stormchasing without bs just straight forward.
Apreciate that!
Great video!
I hope you run in to Reed Timmer one day and get a photo of the Subi's together. His looks like a golfball on wheels with all the hail damage.
Reed is amazing ❤❤….I’ve followed hard out him since he left us on a live during Laura watching a Wendy’s rip apart
Dang you have some great videos. You also are very knowledged on working with these old trucks. Watched your engine swap out first. You rock son . And I like that cab over too. The truck had a 99% chance of being parked because it had head issue. Thats my guess. Not your fault

when you put the head back on your gonna need torq mulitie by 4 times 600 ft pounds when reman head! cats are know for that! there a heavy hauler in canada he russian trans plant in black kw 880 his name SERGEI DRATCHEV i told go to local auto store for rear gearing for his new car it was not to his liking speeds it ran engine (on vacation in USA) in motel room on line chat! I did like my 2016 chevy truck either till it glued to seats & thing called super charger decided to turn on like full power! oh boy what the adjustment for this thing! the cruse control & it left on when braked first time after set there white light on dash it turns green when set it then set on spin charger as speed or drag needs it! it setup for towing trailer! wake my legs up when i get there to stop or turn it nice!
Man, that sucks! Time for a full rebuild?
God I hate Cabinovers. Back in my day it was where you started out. My first Car was a 73 Mack one stacker with a 31'' bunk, a 237HP and 5speeds. All for 54mph downhill with a tailwind. LOL No AC in Aug. and 126` heat and I loved it.
You still alive 😮
Awesome video Hunter. It's really cool to see your videos getting better and better each time. You're doing a great job keep up the good work. Sorry about your dream truck but you'll have it going better than it was before in no time
15:00 Why you gotta be ''status-quo-secrets guys? I'll come back and check-see where you're at. So many ''almost kickin -ass channels do this and lose so many subs. I guess, if it floats your boat, more power to ya. 'Member....... KEEP ON TRUCKIN'.
That reminds me of when my #1 injector tip broke and cracked my head.
The oil in coolant, could be a separate problem. The oil cooler on cats are notorious for wearing out and cracking
Love the storm chasing! Don’t get too much interesting weather over here across the pond!
Hunter you got better shots that full time chasers this was absolutely amazing
You should have turned it off as soon as you heard the clattering going on. Someone got the head too hot. Pyrometer most likely not working as well. To let you know exhaust temperature. Got to keep exhaust down as well as water temps. Heads don't take that very well as you see here. Once the head is removed might as well tear it on down all the way. Too much blow by from the piston rings building pressure in the crankcase and the radiator due to head gasket and the cracks in the head. Brake saver cutting off the exhaust is not a good idea and can cause head problems on down the road; best to use 3 position jake brake assemblies for all diesel engines. Do not use brake saver because it builds internal head pressures that the head is not designed to hold. The engine is to be free flowing and never restricted in anyway. That is why we use Jake Brake Assemblies on long downgrades. Brake saver is a poor man's excuse for an engine braking system. Need to get your General Ham license and let others know you're a spotter so that you can report your locations and let others know the track of the tornados and which way they are going. If you are serious about being a storm-spotter. You keep getting that close to the tornadoes and your going to have a short history as a tornadoe tracker.
Had that same problem with my dream truck. 1980 w900a with a big cam 350 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I was sitting here thinking 🤔 probably shouldn't let that run. Cause it's probably running coolant in your oil dude! LMFAO 😆🤣 😂 pulls dipstick out! Dad always said don't be dumb man.
been workin on these engines 25+ years, the b model is an ok motor, C series is whatcha really want, yep water getting in the cylinder will not compress so thank god it went by the rings and into the crank or you can bend rods or crack pistons. you’re getting diesel fuel in the coolant from the piston pushing it in there thru the cracks on its compression stroke. you do have a mess on your hands, ya gotta get that all outa the system by using like purple power, remove the oil cooler it had to be cleaned it replaced get new oil in it asap and don’t be surprised if you need to do a few oil changes to get it allll out or pull the motor apart and clean it… that water will hide on low non draining areas and it takes forever to get it out of the engine just doing oil changes … it’s a process that’s for sure
Isn't there risk of lightning striking when you are walking around outside your vehicle?
That footage is crazy, I would be shitting my pants. They always told us to get out of the car and lay flat in a ditch, if you see a funnel come over.
🔥right on man.. just a beautiful truck, grew up at farm and we had old binder flat nose, was so fun riding it there. FYI TH-cam unsubscribe me from your Chanel.. i was wondering y never seeing any your new videos 🔥👊🔥🔨⚙️🏍🚜
I honestly like your channel, doing your own thing is awesome.
So excited to see the mystery machine on the trailer 😏
