Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery!
I told my friend a joke about carbon monoxide poisoning…. He died laughing even though it was a tasteless joke.
Of course bleepin jeep would be in the comments with this kind of joke 🤣
That joke is deadly funny.
Badum tish!
That’s silent butt deadly! Lol
You stole my joke lol my grandfather said that to me growing up it was funny as I did live but that gas had my confused at the time till that rat I thought was my grandfather stopped talking to me. Man what a day that was
Didn't realize that there could be so much drama and fun when zeros and ones get together with air, fuel, and spark for the 1st time! 😂 Awesome to see this and thanks for sharing with us guys!!!
I can see Matt driving down main street Dr. Pepper in hand without the cab, just a seat, steering column and a big smile, Mad Max ish. Winter is coming, it be time to show the Snow Cat some lovin. Never a days rest.
Little creepy doll head on his hat....
I once saw a rolling truck chassis being delivered to coach builders, which was being driven with no body parts. The driver was out in the open, wearing a motorcycle helmet. Thinking about the Heavy Wrecker, it can surely have room for no more than two, or three at a stretch, people, so they'll still have to take the Morvair or Jeep for the crew.
@Stu Nick I was thinking about the Snow Cat the other day as well. News last night was showing snow in Co. already. Sooo much to do, So little time. The Frankenana is Job One for now though.
LT is the man!!! He also helped me ,when I was building the top end of my Viper Truck with the 8.3 V10. He is extremely smart,and his wisdom is priceless!! Cheers from Canada!!!
I was just taking to my son about this engine! It seems like a forgotten gem…
@@roninkraut6873 definitely! Cheers!
Awesome to see the 8.1 up and running good! I am excited to see how it drives in that big wrecker too...
Matt, I have an 8.1L Suburban and love it! Unsolicited advice: keep an eye on the oil level when you put the wrecker into service. 8.1L are documented oil burners. I go through 1 qt. semi-synthetic every 3K miles of regular driving, 1 qt. every 1K towing, and 1 qt. full synthetic every 1K regular driving and 800 towing. I bought it with 120K miles, have put on 50K, and tested different oils and conditions with same results but my experience may be mine alone.
Wow what a job this was tuning this 8.1 V8. Tom is a valuable asset to have around for these problems and many more! I love Jamie sitting there with her phone not paying attention to what's going on she's seen so much of it already! Trevor is another good one to have around. This whole team came together and made progress today. I can't wait to see it in action!
Just want to thank you guys. When I started my journey with MORR, the only things I knew about car engines were battery and windshield fluid. After watching your videos, I know what l those parts do. My mechanic no longer sounds like he's speaking Chinese when he's explaining what just broke. Thanjs guys
Can’t wait to see this beast in action
Great video Matt and crew.
Remiinds me when I took my 76 half ton 2 whl drive and made a 4x4 out of it and swapped out the old 350 eng. And installed a 95 LT one. Hung my head in silence many times but was worth it name it bits and pieces that was 25 years ago. Truck still running great not so much for my old body ( lol )be safe and enjoy life.
I'm on a bucket list vacation and I'm sitting in my hotel room watching Matt's. I may need therapy.
Can't wait for the day the wrecker rolls on it's own power.
Thanks MORR!
Two bucket list goals achieved in one vacation. Not bad
A Custom Built Fury Road BEAST by Matt's Off-Road Recovery! Basically, it's a Rock Crawling Tow Rescue Vehicle like no other. Remember - this thing is going to have 54" tires on it - six inches shy of FIVE FEET!
Where are you on your bucket list vacation The Dave?
@@MrEvanNoyes Better tell NASA !!
@@derekisthematrix New Orleans.
Shop days are the best days! I Love seeing all the teamwork and accomplishments on the builds and repairs! Best Crew Ever! 🙌
I've had that exact issue of the swapped CPS wires. It took me much longer to figure out, I was running an oscilloscope on every sensor and comparing them to the factory waveforms in the service manual and everything. It didn't help that there was such a long time between swapping the engine and trying to start it that I had forgotten I ever even messed with the wires for that sensor. Huge props to your team for figuring that out so quick that's a hard diagnosis 😅
I could watch this kinda stuff all day! Great seeing things coming together on this beast!
It’s possible that you’ll be better served with the 2 1/2” pipes over 3”, Improved low end torque. Also, maybe consider adding a crossover pipe to stabilize flow and improve the odd fire sound.
I have 3 inch on my 454 sounds so good
@Dave Hancock Excellent observation. Back pressure increases low end torque. Less restrictive 3" pipes allow more top end power at the expense of low end torque. Torque equals pulling power. RPMs equals speed.
@@tomparker9966 that is an old wives tale. the gas velocity through the collector is the only thing that matters, having too large a collector will limit the scavenging effect leading to worse VE and less peak cylinder pressure.
That's not how it works
@@austindoud273 well not on a 2 stroke with an expansion chamber, but if we are talking about a 4 stroke.... yes it bloody well is.
Like Dennis Collins would say " OUTSTANDING ". Oh and this recovery vehicle is the " Holy Grail " of wreckers. Definitely a team effort and the wait is shaping up to be well worth it. This truck is a wrecker man's wrecker. I feel like a kid at Christmas, I can hardly wait until this beast is doing what it is meant to do. And the plethora of winches assure success just about 100% if the time. Matt's will be the place that other wreckers call to have other big wreckers rescued. This truck is definitely on steroids, as you and your team added each winch the trucks muscles grew by a factor of 10. I'm curious as to the trucks alternator amperage. Either way 2 batteries are a minimum and I would guess that you will never be pushing the button on all of the winches at the same time.
Matt you have an amazing crew. Glad to see the progress in this build.
probably my most favorite series!
Love what you guys do. Keep up the good work. I’ve been watching you since I came home from the hospital this year. I’m hoping one day to make a trip out to visit the shop and grab some merch and take a trail ride. Only if I can completely come off oxygen. Right now the only option for that is a lung transplant. Prayers needed I make it that far.
Love watching your builds! This thing is going to be sweet!!
Crossover exhaust for 60 on 46s,
Tom Tom is the man. God bless him and his.
please more of this build ASAP!!!!
I love V12s, I6s, flat 4s & 6s, but there’s a part of me that says every IC engine should be a poorly silenced V8.
Great video guys. Love your work!!
Yeah for real. I did just buy a 6.0ltr 400hp m120 v12 for a vintage Mercedes restomod project and I can't wait to see what it sounds like with minimal muffling. It's real hard to beat the sound of a V8 at idle or 6000rpm + though. My little 200ish hp 4.5 V8 sounds so good screaming 6500rpm.
One of the things I love about this channel is that you're not afraid to show and own mistakes.
The 8.1 2500hd I had was an absolute beast. I did go with bigger injectors and high a high capacity dual fuel pump setup. Later on I did do a "mild" turbo setup. Easy dyno pulls showed 700ish but I never do any hard pulls because the dyno couldnt handle it. The wrecker shouldnt have any problems pulling pretty much anything. Can not wait to see the old girl in action.
Matt I can hardly wait for this to go on the road, I recall an AIRPLANE they rebuilt, just would not start,,the distributor was 180degrees out of synch , when it was noticed, first crank,it STARTED
Stay well, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
woooot wooot woooot wrecker VIDEO
Good to see you brought the REAL welder on the job , and she didn't even burn you one time 🔥🔥🔥
I was confused for a minute but now I understand what was going on with the resolution. Swapping the cam and crank sensor. Glad you got it all fingered out!!! Lol 🤘🏻
Great video!! Love seeing all the trying and re-trying. It take a lot of work to make a never before built vehicle run and drive!! 😁
10:23 I assume you see the spark grounding out on the second cylinder....
good catch!! I see that now right against the header.
I don't think that's the case, looks like it's just a gap through the manifold.
LT is the library when it comes to LS engines. Great to hear that you guys have each other's back!!!
Oh no you bricked the CPU! 😂 Finally a computer issue I'm qualified to comment on, and also feel at my core, I shed a tear with you guys. I've possibly gone through as many bricked motherboards as you all have alternators. Early days of PC building there was always compatibility drama requiring firmware updates. It got so bad, better motherboards have a dedicated usb port for when this inevitably happens. Updating firmware is like putting in the cancel order to a bomb...you just type it in and hope it doesn't blow up
"Early days of PC building" with "USB port"....
In the early days we used jumpers for the motherboard configuration AND cards configuration. Firmware updates were rare and you had to use floppy discs. USB is pretty modern.
Ya, sorry about that. Some of the bios/firmware code was to fix hardware issues that would be to costly to repair with new runs.
Hi guys,good video.On your Eng temp>IF you put a 170 degree thermostat in it it's working fine.but if your put a 182 or 192 then it's not.Remember your MAIN temp sender should be the one in the block or right in the thermostat housing,then maybe another on the rad hose.the computer on newer cars get confused when they don't see the temps they expect.Check THAT motor model factory senser locations to make sure you have all it calls for.Oil and tranny temp gauges would be good too.interesting build.guys.
Not gonna lie, stacks are a bit tasteless anyway so I'm glad to see you going with a reasonable exhaust design lol.
Glad @LTTolman was able to come in in the pinch!!
I am Happy to see Matt use his welding gloves, cancer is no Fun.
For sure, hand cancer is no fun....
Another hot tip from the safety police - LOL.
I'm so glad that you are not making exhaust stacks on your Beast. With all of the other custom work on it, stacks would be takky to say the least. And probably dangerous too. Someone would have gotten burned for sure. And how you're running the exhaust next to the frame, is just really 😎cool!
Your right about the burn hazzard. Used to deliver septic tanks. Backing into areas with my Mack with a stack , broke off a tree branch and when I went to take it off burned the inside of my arm. Your deffinetlly right about a burn hazzard. 👍
I can definitely see where stacks would be in the way for what y’all will be doing with the truck
The only people who never make errors are those who never do anything. Problem solving is an amazingly valuable skill.
Awesome job everyone can't wait to see that monster tow truck go to work. Also love the old school cherry bomb exhaust set you all done.
Great video, we enjoyed watching.
This will be a beast! The enging and exhaust sound is gorgous!
Love those over-sized "glass packs!" What a hard working gaggle!
Keep after it . . . 😂
Congratulations on getting it fired up. Love watching this build.
50 years ago when I did my 1st engine overhaul I was only 14 I heard it's not similar to what you guys have it didn't go away it was catastrophic I've thought for sure that's what's going on with your motor at 1st time you want to crank it in the center of the like a bill on a boxing ring Then no strong Knocking sounds I thought it was over for that motor Is way to go guys
Great video!!😃 That's how it goes with all the new electronics on these motors!!! I just picked up a Chevy 6.0 with a 4L80E trans for an upcoming project, stay tuned!!!😎
Two into one 3" pipe would be just about perfect for that engine. That's what Flowmaster recommended me for trucks that want torque over hp.
You need Cletus to pop over and give it a little spicy tune up 🔥🔥
I was thinking the same thing .
Things are looking good so far👍. Just a thought though while you have all that access with the cab off you might want to wrap the exhaust so you don’t cook the floors and air tanks. Can’t wait to see this rig in action
Matt I see you are using a glass pack muffers and you'll get a cackling sound when you let up on the fuel pedal. Myself I believe you would enjoy the a single chamber muffler from flow masters and have the pipes expain to 4 inch diesel pipes on an up right which really sounds nice though all the power bands and a nicer sound when you are backing down the power. FYI thought you might want to consider.
Nice ! It's going to be really great and it's fun seeing it progress ! Can't wait to see it rolling.
Lol an O'Reilly's auto parts add played right after Trevor said the jingle.
For the FLIR camera to work on the headers, you’d need to paint them matte black, shiny surfaces tricks those cameras and IR thermometers. Black electrical tape works on colder items, not quite sure what would be the equivalent on a header, painting small squares with black bbq paint?
I will miss these build videos when this beast is finished and working, but, at the same time, I can't wait to see it completed.
Thanks for the video, I like the dual radiator look.
@Matt's Off Road Recovery, i love these wrecker videos keep em coming :)
I could watch an hour of this each Sunday.
It sounds pretty good with the rumble out of the duals.I worry about heat from an unwrapped cherry bomb getting hot next to the airtanks.May turn them into bombs?Question>Why do they call them 'wreckers',when they're more draggers,and pullers?I'd call this beast a 'Saver'.
Between you guys, fabrats and chad’s fab I have really learned a lot about these new fangled fancy computer motors
Great progress a few obstacles but they where overcome!
TREVOR aka THE PROFESSOR FIXED IT / STILL WATERS WATERS RUN DEEP / AND IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE LIZZIE THE COWGIRL BACK ON THE JOB " GETTING ERR DONE" / AND THANKS TO THE HOLE GANG FOR SHARING / WE LOVE THE SHOW
Nice job. Glad to see how this thing's progressing
I cannot wait to see content with the wrecker!!
I'm gonna need the team down here in AZ next, cuz I've got the same 8.1 in my motor home, and it could REALLY use a tune and overhaul to get the same sound as the Wrecker Ralph!
Oh boy!!! So close!!! Great job to you and your crew!!
I'd add new coil packs to your list, just to start with all fresh... my parents have one of these in a 3/4 ton yukon, the stock coilpacks suck and we went through a few of them tracking issues.
Its fun to watch, thats for sure!
Love to see this beast coming together.
He's smelling other exhaust gasses, Carbon Monoxide (CO) has no scent. It's usually present with the other burning exhaust gases though, especially when it's burning dirty.
lol great disconnect the battery , love you guys its show that we're all human,
So rad I saw tucker night before last in the 4runner you got for him down at sand hollow. He was with fam so we didn't say hi. But keep up the great work.
10:20 grounding spark jump visible on the header.
This is such a cool build I did not realize it was an 8.1L I've heard those are just monster motors for climbing and doing what you're doing so cool keep up the good work love the dual radiator setup 😎
Matt's mind is filled with notes, sketches, diagrams and blueprints. He is a walking computer.
Looking forward to seeing it completed and pulling people out of their jams.
Do you have videos of the morrvair being built. Just started watching your videos about 3 weeks ago and love them all
It is not how bad the errors it is how well you fix them
I like those dairy pipe fittings. Commonly used in the food industry.
Great video ya'll!! Engine sounds great once got it lined out that thing is gonna be a beast. Our daughter has 07 Yukon that just quit goin down road I can work on these darn electronics
Around 10:25, it looks like spark arcing on the lower part of the front left exhaust pipe just below second tube.
Looking and sounding great.
I love carburetors!
Great work guys, God bless you all.
Man, it's getting exciting! Can't wait to see this thing ripping through the dunes.
You can never have too much cooling. Worst case scenario you cover half a radiator if you need to keep it warmer in the winter.
If you have some down time and need an idea for a video do a toolbox / garage tour showing everything you guys use in the shop. People like that, going through drawers of a toolbox.
Plug wires and pry bars. Perfect tool for the job
Matt could you do a little bit more of a video on exhaust?
Just In what you choose and why?
Also please touch on Single versus dual.
Thank you for not having a long into
AWESOME GUY'S! Sounds great!
Good commercial at the end Trevor.
Lmao that strap commercial was cool 😎✊🏻🇺🇸🤣
What a brutal day! At least you've got computer programmes and heat sensors and the like, better than turning the old distributor by hand to set the timing!!
15:38 you can see if Matt's people radiator has kicked in and regulating his temp well.
That thing fired up and sounded like the start of a Primus song. Matty was a tow truck driver...
Oi Matt
Be advised…
Things that reflect light easily will not give an accurate surface temperature when looking at it with a thermal camera. Things like windows, mirrors, annnd shiny exhaust manifolds
I tell you that to tell you this…
Your infrared camera looking at those exhaust manifolds may be seeing the reflection of the room more than how hot it is.
Have fun!
Good job Lizzie! These guys are always trying to fumigate themselves🤣🤣🤣
And Trevor with ear protection👍
Way to keep it cool fellas!
