Big D has had a hard life, been worked hard & put away wet more than once. It don't matter the badge on the front they all break sooner or later. Nice recovery on both the customers & your own. Shawn to the rescue. I'll keep telling you he needs a raise. Thanks for sharing
No matter the brand, when you buy a used vehicle, you're going to run into someone's "dirty deeds done dirt cheap". They will always show up at the worst time. Good recovery on the oil line Shawn, to get'er back home.
Never stop talking about what you encounter underway, please! I always liked these tidbits of random information from places I will likely never visit - it's a little bit of travel vlogging and 'The more you know! 💫' 😊
This video is a good example of how quick Shawn is. Reacted to the fire, found the oil leak, found the wire short, and trail fixed both as just a matter of course. Nice work.
Wow I'm glad to see that balancing rock is still there! I mean I know it's not the one in Arches, but I remember that from a long time ago. Thanks for stopping and filming that real quick. That was the first time I've ever seen Sean on camera not calm (except for laughing which we all love). Fires will do that to anyone. Glad it was minor. 🔥
ROFL... The "Salt Mine" story was actually really cool, Rory! I love when you guys share these awesome little side-notes and stories. How else would we know about the plight of the Diamond Billed Rock Pecker???
@@chiphazzard8173I don't know about that. I've seen a few 12 valves roll the odometer over 1 million miles, and pretty much drove the body off the truck!
This what I love about this channel they started out as a recovery Channel and they have stayed that way dont get me wrong they do a lot of other fun stuff as well but they always go back to there roots
I worked at a tire shop for four years in the 90’s whose entire fleet was that era fords with 460’s. I know those trucks very well and loved them. They may have problems if you install aftermarket belt tensioners with throwing belts. Factory is the best one. You also need to properly shim the starters or they burnout prematurely. Some of them that had the TFI modules on the distributor would sputter, cutout or just die when module was going out. But other than that they were a pretty reliable truck. They will always hold a special place in my heart because of all the great memories working out them.
Yep, was a factory technician for a large tractor company back in the 90s and we had pretty much the same truck but with a utility bed instead of a tow rig. That FI 460 with a five speed manual pulled like a locomotive.
I just got to watch this video and it proves that when they do a recovery they make it memorable. it's like " ok its a easy job. Lets add a challenge" 😁 They do the recoveries with style. A fire wasnt the first thing to pop in my head for a challenge. But it just shows to go ya that without even taking the smile from their faces they were backing the truck, noticed a fire, hopped out fought the fire, made the repairs to Big D, Made the recovery and still did it in no tiime at all. And had fun while doing it. Plus you have to love their office and its incredible views. Tons of people would just love to have a office like thiers.
Maybe you could get Chad involved? An engine upgrade like the Ford engine in his GMC and a wiring tidy-up? Oh, and clean any residual oil out of there. Thanks guys, big D has some real capabilities.
You guys are great mechanics and off-roaders. Nice to see the Polished look of the painted trucks, cool professional looking uniforms shirts, and heck Rory even has a great smile. Keep up the great shows. Super fan of you guys.
It's a great day, when your vehicle catches on fire and you can (temp.) fix it and drive home! I used to design vehicle wiring harnesses for a living, so I am keenly aware of how important material selection and hose/wire routing and attachments are. So many vehicle breakdowns caused by this issue could easily be prevented, hint hint to you wrenchers and builders out there!
Rory i like your narations so i live in the Northeast and have never seen this area so it is educational to see it and have you tell us about it Great Video Sir keep it up nice job done !
I WAS DRIVING THAT SAME TRUCK WITH A WOOD SIDE FLATBED AND LIFT GATE HAULING LOBSTERS AND BAIT SOO MUCH TORQUE YOU ALMOST NEVER NEEDED FIRST AND THIRD WOULD DRIFT A BIT IF YOU TRY
Back in the 70's, competing in a car rally, we had an oil line snap like yours. Fortunately no fire, but it sprayed hot oil every where and both of us got a few burns.
Love the new lights on Big D, wow, glad the fire didn't do much damage. Big D's has had a hard life and needs some love. Youake a good tour guide for Moab 😊👍
I never liked the plastic hose for oil pressure gauges. It's a bit pricey, but I use copper lines instead. Same for the water lines for our fridge ice maker and furnace humidifier.
Love you guys--Great mechanics, great fabricators, make older things do the job, great recoveries, and have fun while you work. You have the best videos of any I have seen. God Bless.
I've been up on that road by the potash and seen that big balanced rock. Almost a year ago, early June last year. I drove up in there with my 2 wheel drive Dodge dually. After we saw the potash ponds I decided to turn it around and leave before I found myself calling Rory Irish for recovery help! 😅
ROFL @17:58 Piece of Ford. I am not normally a brand specific person but I can say I have had more issues with Fords than all the other manufactures I have ever owned put together. I have an old F150 that my Step Dad had when he passed away and it has so many electrical issues it is crazy, just never ending.
You do a great job as usual. Thank you for sharing your day today. Routines, some people don't realize you don't have to do it, but you do it because you enjoy doing it again. You did a great job.
Ford 460's in the 90's have a restriction in the exhaust in the heads that limit their power. My dad had a van in the 80's he put a 460 police interceptor motor in that was about 500hp and 500 ft. Lbs of torque.
At least when you have some sort of failure, you can fix it enough to get home, unlike many drivers who have to ring their auto club because they can't change a flat tyre.
Don't sell yourself short Rory, I happen to enjoy it when you go all tour guide on us. If not for you I would not know to run over the foot of the Gooney Bird as we go by. And who else tells us about the Diamond Billed Rock Peckers? All the best to you and ALL the crew, plus a hug for Lilli!
John, you can't get that kind of "Guidance" just any old where!! It takes a special kind of "Wisdom" when you get way out there past the average boonies... Rory's the right guy for the job!! 😂🤣👍
That gladiator has every accessory that money can buy😂. So top heavy, i still can't figure out how it turned over😂😂😂. As far as the oil fire, how does that saying go, if your oil is on fire you know it still has oil lol
Someone in a business like yours needs a variety in their stable of rescue tools to best accomplish what you do,, and while basically the same each has a ability that makes it "best" for the different recoveries and locations, with the only problem being did customer give enough accurate information to allow you to take the best choice
Good job on the recoveries!! Great job on the fire snuffing and a great job on the road repair of the oil gauge! LOL!! Love watching you guys. it's ALWAYS something interesting!!

Firefighter and a Plumber!!! Multi talented!!
If you get Plumbers Crack...that means you're doing it right.
Exactly why I never use those plastic oil pressure lines ... copper lines are worth the extra $$$.
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
I use air brake line. Super flexible and doesn't snap that the cheap white stuff.
I hate them both. Plastic rubs through, copper work hardens and cracks. Sender and 12v gauge, keep that hot oil in the engine.
The lights look awesome, Harbor Freight has really upped their game in the last few years
Yeah, nice lights. The ones in the back would be more useful if they could swivel though.
Sparks, there were still sparks,
No matter the brand, when you buy a used vehicle, you're going to run into someone's "dirty deeds done dirt cheap". They will always show up at the worst time. Good recovery on the oil line Shawn, to get'er back home.

Glad to see Big D get some much needed love with more work lights but now it needs lots of love in the engine bay. Stay safe out there!
Ford chevy dodge who cares as long as it goes from point a to point, get the job done and the most important part goes back to point a.
Oh it matters !!
Your right about 2 out of the 3, dodge has never and will never be good haha.
@@chiphazzard8173I don't know about that. I've seen a few 12 valves roll the odometer over 1 million miles, and pretty much drove the body off the truck!
Good trucks will get you from point A to point B. Great trucks will get you in trouble.
@@wesman7837 thats kinda my point, the only part that isn't actually a dodge lasted longer than the rest of the truck.
Wow, 70-75 psi oil pressure with 230,000 miles that is awesome! That truck will run forever.
This what I love about this channel they started out as a recovery Channel and they have stayed that way dont get me wrong they do a lot of other fun stuff as well but they always go back to there roots

Grief over Big D? Never! Love to see him getting some attention!
It doesn't matter what people think you built them the way they work best for you !!! Keep up the awesome work !!
Big D is giving not so subtle signals that she needs some love! :D And a badass bumper instead of that brick! And maybe a paint roller paintjob?
Maybe you could get Chad involved? An engine upgrade like the Ford engine in his GMC and a wiring tidy-up? Oh, and clean any residual oil out of there. Thanks guys, big D has some real capabilities.
“(Head shake) I should stick to recoveries.” 🤣❤️🤣
😀😀😀
13:29 damn that was a smooth downshift on such an old gearbox! Rory really is a master of his craft.
Big D will need some TLC to get it up to par with Mater and Old Blue. She'll come along fine. Good video and Shawn to the rescue!
You guys are great mechanics and off-roaders. Nice to see the Polished look of the painted trucks, cool professional looking uniforms shirts, and heck Rory even has a great smile. Keep up the great shows. Super fan of you guys.
I've had those plastic gauge lines leak too. I put copper on afterwards, its been there for 15 years
😢”we’re basically amazing….”😂😂😂😂. I needed that….
as long as it is only a small fire no harm no fowl. safety third!!!
Two recoveries, two happy customers, win win. Big D needs some TLC!! All good in the end, thanks for another great video!!
A little fire ain't gunna stop big D
I ran into overlanding dreamers about year ago when I took my friend shooting. They were cool people glad to see you gave them a hand

Thank you for talking about the potassium mine, I learned something new. You did fine.
Those oil lines always become a problem. Glad you were able to see it and put it out fast..
More random info and things you like! Rocks and Salt mine pools!
Matt you know what you are doing doesn't matter what any one says!
Rory i like your narations so i live in the Northeast and have never seen this area so it is educational to see it and have you tell us about it Great Video Sir keep it up nice job done !
My 89 Ford caught fire. 8 million fire 🔥 recall. No more Fords for me.
Don't forget to put a light ON the boom of the Ford.
Im sure that rock has a name, but it shall be known as "Rorys Rock"
Shawn is a regular McGiever, he comes in pretty handy. Rory you do just fine explaining evaporation ponds. Big D needs some TLC sooner then later.
That's why I don't use plastic lines I go with copper when ever possible
Thanks for making
Fire is no joke , but you all know how to handle every situation!!
I love Big D! Just needs a little TLC to TCB! 😎👍🏼

I like it when you comment about what you are seeing and doing. Keep doing what you like!
The night recovery was pretty good. Had more light than a lot of night time recoveries!

Rory’s fleet is the best OG real world Tow ready trucks. Elbow grease and Shawn & Mikes show flair on each truck makes them all legit
When ever I used the plastic oil/vacuum lines I always slide the plastic line inside a vacuum line to protect the plastic.
Keep adding on to those resumes, "Automotive Firefighter" isn't an easy talent to develop. Nice work Team Mater!
I’m with you about truck brands. I couldn’t have said it better!
C ya got the ol Builders crack going on there working that rim
My compliments to the cameraman for his sharp sense of humor and complete disregard for the dignity of his fellows. lmao!
You should start a trend and add a light pole to help with filming. A telescoping pole like construction lighting
Wahooo😊 sweet lights🤗 thanks for sharing 😊
You do a great job as usual. Thank you for sharing your day today. Routines, some people don't realize you don't have to do it, but you do it because you enjoy doing it again. You did a great job.
The bed on big D would be sweet on a K30 1972. Dana 60 front and all the cool stuff from offroad design.
Thank you,
My Dad used Chevy, Ford and Dodge for work trucks in the 80s and 90s. They ALL worked hard and made him money, Ford being the primary tow pigs.
Electric oil pressure gauges are expensive but stop a lot of problems thanks for the video
Good job. Truck is getting there.
Ford 460's in the 90's have a restriction in the exhaust in the heads that limit their power. My dad had a van in the 80's he put a 460 police interceptor motor in that was about 500hp and 500 ft. Lbs of torque.
Gotta love the close ups of Rory's plumbers crack
Shawn is a varry good mechanic and guy. Way to go Shawn for getting that found on road Dead going again 😂
This video reminds me of the movie trimmers for some reason
Another excellent rory recovery 101 class
My 2010 2500hd chevy truck 4wd,,360ci gas ,, with a covered workbed has 371,000plus miles on it...good Ole chevy
Thanks for entertaining us

Man it's beautiful out there
Cut out the cones in the plastic intake joint in between the two rubber intake hoses, wakes the 460 up just a little bit for a choked out big block.
I had a 96 F350 w the 460 & 5 speed. Headers and a big K&N filter w the Spenser cone crap removed really woke it up! Wish I’d never sold it
Hey mater thanks again for the video guys
big D with a brand new godzilla motor will be happy!!
16:20 looks like the lunar eclipse was at about 90% in Utah...

The more I watch your content, the more I appreciate your skills.
Content is awesome!
Never a dull moment.
Awesome
Need a fan shroud, also. Can’t believe that thing doesn’t overheat in that environment
Sean’s the man !!!
Rory says it don't matter what badge and he said he likes dodge but every rig he has got a LS in it😊 love it
That gladiator has every accessory that money can buy😂. So top heavy, i still can't figure out how it turned over😂😂😂. As far as the oil fire, how does that saying go, if your oil is on fire you know it still has oil lol
Nothin like the extra help of plumbers crack to help swing the hammer 😂❤
Great job again.
Everyone tells me never use them plastic lines use copper line but definitely a huge improvement adding them lights
