- Will this 1948 Ford truck with a flathead V-8 run after setting with the hood open for over 56 years this truck has been sitting in the same field for over 30 years at some point in its life. The frame was cut in half and shortened around 5 feet and the truck has not been on the road since the frame was cut  I believe the truck was parked due to a bad rear main seal. 
Will it run
Will it run after 30 years
Will it run after 81 years
Will it run after 58 years
Will it run after 50 years
Will it run after 78 years
Will it run after 60 years
Will it run after 40 years
I haven’t got a single dog in the fight, and all that flour pissed me off !!
The fact that he got it running despite all of that makes it all the more satisfying.
Pisses me off too
Some Karen that is un happy at someone else happiness happens all the time here in western Washington state a lot of unhappy people that want everyone else unhappy
Hats off to this guy. Never a sware word, even when someone tries to get his goat.
Been taught right by his parents. There's a lost method in the south that was used succefully for generations.
Yeah, but that southern drawl, yeech.
I would be freaking pissed off that someone dumped that crap in it but glad to see you showed them that wouldn't stop ya and you got it running again after that
It could have ruined a perfectly good carb
Didn't realize how bad I needed this today. In a world where things seem more and more impossible to fix; Dustin shows us what real perseverance looks like. Doesn't matter if its locked up, missing parts or been snuffed out...the man will not stop until its alive again. That's making the impossible; possible.
Great life lessons here. This man is a national treasure.
Ditto!
I hope he knows how much his videos help people. Thank you Mr. Jennings!
And dealing with some fuckin arsehole trying to sabotage it. The bloke is ace !!
Totally agree
I'm from Poland and I'm enjoying this guy's melodious accent very much. Fits the content.
Much love from the US
Dustin's just a nice young man with an amazingly pleasant demeanor who entertains us all with his ingenuity, perseverance, and knowledge in getting old engines to run--no matter how long they've set accumullating rust and rats. And then someone comes along who dumps flour all over his project whether through stupidity, jealousy, mean-spiritedness, or just having more than a few loose screws. God bless you Dustin for just moving on and not letting it get to you. We respect you for it, and you make the world a better place for being in it. They don't!
He is good!!!
Someone get this man a sponsor for starting fluid and PB Blaster! Holy hell he uses a lot! Another great video as always. Your light heartedness about the flour was truly amazing. You sir, are a gift from the car gods! Dont stop!
I'd be looking in the direction the truck smoke went at 28:04 ... "Flour Person" probably lives there and can see you from their front window.
yep. and flour is not used to put out a fire, its used to make it burn Faster...
Yep I thought the same thing. I'd be setting up a Trail Cam with night vision. Pay that person a little visit when I found out who it was. Old motor or not, don't mess with others property.
An absolute asshole move by "flour person".
Yep I'd probably do the same too if I lived close enough to him to get smoked out every other day.
Not sure why they'd be upset, he got rid of all the mosquitoes.
ahh, man... time for some cheap Amazon trail cameras or something. That flour mess made me mad from hundreds of miles away. If they are willing to do THAT then you have to assume they are probably not above other forms or sabotage - things that may endanger you. It would be cheap insurance Dustin.
Thanks for another great video sir!
Tonight we've got a car from the Titanic; Now lets get her back running!
Seriously though i think Dustin could actually bring back a titanic car to life; the amount of cars you've successfully recovered is amazing! :D keep em coming!
He could probably bring the Titanic back to life.
@@DanDrolett😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She’s got a bit of water down in her, but I reckon we’ll get the old girl running.
He had one video a some time ago (I think it was a Chrysler? Mid 50’s) it was literally a crushed up wreck in the middle of nowhere shot up and destroyed. I thought the video was a joke at first, but dang he got her running!
Straight up 👆 and the piston delete so that the others can pistonize themselves broke me @
Thears nothing better than hearing a old flat head pick up rpms and come back to life ❤
All that flour and heat .... Boy you coulda dropped some water down on that manifold and fried up some flathead pancakes! Lol... All jokes aside, I hope whoever pulled that stunt drove over a nail on their way home. Great video, per usual!
Gotta love the positivity, persistence, and resourcefulness of this young mechanic...finding the "crowbar-punch-combination 4000" tool inside the engine compartment and then using it to remove a frozen intake valve and eventually firing up the old engine is truly awe-inspiring...even despite someone's evil intentions with the flour attack. Nice work...keep it up!
That is absolutely insane someone would come and dump flour on your project. That is pathological behavior, and completely disrespectful.
Loved the video. I will never understand why someone would want to damage another persons property, pisses me off.
Jealousy comes to mind. Justin is a magician when it comes to resurrecting these old beauty's.
Finally a country boy doing this work.
Dude's been around a minute and he's just the Best!!!!!!!!!!!
Jennings your an engine magician. Your determination is to be commended.
Truly one of the best channels I have ever found.
I know that would tick me off too on somebody tampering with a project.
This guy is the best in the business.
When the 1st PB smoke rose I could smell it.
This is good.
Someone needs to make a compilation of all your sayings lol. Maybe get it on t shirt while we're at it. I'd buy it.
Raticus giganticus. Lmao.
Please have a new episode arriving soon. I've literally watched everything. And I have so much respect for your persistence.
Over the years I've looked at a lot of engines and said NOPE, it's done. You sir keep proving there's rarely such thing as an engine that's actually done...
48k miles back in the day was a good life for an engine. It wasn't like today where people get 200k miles, no problem.
On Volvos you used to get tags for every 100k you got I've seen 400-500k before
Aye. I reckon even Ford EcoBoost will easily give you over 48k miles with normal maintenance, unless your foot on the gas pedal is unreasonably heavy for the poor engine.
Yep, the "good old days" weren't always so good! Engines have more power today, with less maintenance, and a much longer lifespan!(in a similar size)
@@Robbie-sk6vc Very true. The average 4 cyclinder today puts out more power than most of the 8 cyclinders back then. When I say "back in the day", I'm in no way suggesting they were better by any metric, other than they were arguably more simple. Anyone who was mechanically inclined could probably service one, whereas todays engines are far more complex and nuanced.
Great memories, Friend’s older brother had one when we were teenagers growing up. This was 1970, and you could find these with some working dings and dents but in decent running shape for 50- 150 bucks. Nobody gave a shit about old pick ups back then, all the kids wanted speed.
I am so happy to see a new VID from you! I can't tell you. Make'em longer and know we like to see ALL the work. Keep on keepin' on Jennings!
Hell yes! I love the sound of the old flat heads! Lets do this!
I admire this man's skill and patience, especially with the flour incident. He just takes it all in stride.
Your a better man than me. Somebody throws flour on my project I’m gonna lose my ****.
I love when he says “their valvalatin” 😂.
Another real fine will it run video JMS, always great to hear one of them old girls running again 😀👍👍🇺🇲
This guy needs to get a sponsor from a starting fluid company😂. I just love these videos
Just make some biscuits with all that flour!
I thought about it probably would have been gas flavored or starting fluid flavored
For me either diesel flavoured or a slight hint of 10W30. Lol
The most famous phrase ...com'on old girl❤❤❤❤
My wife and I like his saying "ugga duggas"
This is one of the most entertaining channels on TH-cam 😂. I've learned so many new words and how to fix old junk that I will never work on 😂😂😂
Works his butt off making these vid's So many thank you's. And to the prick that dumped on your motor, Karma has a way.
People just have nothing better to do I guess. But, nothing can detour a man from his passion
Thank you so much for cheering me up on this terrible day here in England.
What's terrible? Your government?
@kirbyswarp ...ooh....yeah.....
@@kirbyswarp Them and all the immigration.
@@angelsone-five7912 Exactly what I was referring to. And the two tiered police.
Another flat head resurrected!!!!!!!!!! Man You Are The Best!!!!!!!!!! I NEVER get tired of hearing Flat heads come back to life I want one so bad now and it's Your Fault Hahaha
Your patience and absence of ego is commendable. I do enjoy watching what's needed to bring each engine to life. I would love to see what you do with these vehicles. Like that 1947 diamond t 201 pickup build you started showing and never finished.
The Dr Phil of motors never disappoints!
Man that thing fought you the whole way . Great video man. Sorry about the flour bandits. Thats a real piss off.
Out of all the other get something running or not video I've seen, yours are always the best.
Like many others, I find your videos immediately captivating and always look forward to them. They are incredibly entertaining!
I absolutely love your channel and attitude and epic sense of humor 😄 cheers from Sweden 🇸🇪
Always a good day when this comes up
This one was tough. It did run. Thanks for sharing! 💯👊👍
Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ you certainly are a magician with these old engines Dustin. Even after someone tried to sabotage your project you got her to run. Thanks for another awesome video ✌️🇺🇲
Man, we missed ya. That was fun. Please give us more....sooner.
OK, another Dustin Jennings Motor Sport cold start procedure video! Dustin, I was watching another channel where they had an inline 6, like a Ford 250 or somethin, and they took the whole engine out of the vehicle and pounded the pistons out with a sledge hammer. They obviously never watched an episode of "Will It Run" by Dustin Jennings Motor Sports! I told them to go find it. Ha. Thanks Jennings. Fun Video and as always very informative. ben/ michigan
No one like Dustin by far,i love the sense of humor😂 watching from Greece
Sometimes you have to .
Hello Greece, I'm from Kansas USA he does have a good sense of humor!! And I have learned alot from this feller!!
Also happily waiting for every notification, watching from Romania.
"Let the engine do engine things" 😀
Loved this will start and she is a runner. Awesome as always! Can't wait to see more on the Cuda.... Enjoyed as always, thanks Dustin!
This is the kind of mechanic i aspire to be
I agree with alot of these comments saying longer video. I could have watched this as an uncut video. Especially watching the chunky oil come out.
Thank you for the advice and I will start making them longer seems that’s what everybody wants
@@jenningsmotorsports7554 you have one of those attitudes that would entice people to watch for hours and hours at a time. It's relaxing and enjoyable and I look forward to the next video sir! Don't ever change, this is what true America is all about!!
@@jenningsmotorsports7554 You need to make some merch. A t-shirt with the different "packages," like Ratticus Giganticus, would be amazing.
This guy is a miracle worker!
Why in the name of God would someone pour flour in your engine?? Someone pissed off at you, or what? I am glad you stuck to it, and got it running again. Great video!
The exhaust was rusted off, probably the noise and/or smoke pissed a neighbor and instead of trying to talk things like a reasonable adult first, they went with the childish knee-jerk reaction of ruining the engine.
hell hath no fury like a woman with flathead smoke all over her clean washing on the line??
excellent video once again young man
I love watching this old Dinosaurs starting back to life again after a millennium of resting!👌😂👍great job my friend!
Double fisting the ether, that was awesome. I sometimes think you underestimate the fact you have 300k subscribers, that’s truly something to be proud of and you definitely deserve it.
"Christmas theme" that kills mosquitos??? Dustin, you are a stand-up comedian.... bahahahaha!!!
Hey yall...I love this!!! Bringing history back and what a fun task!!!
These relics have so many stories and the modifications made through the day are fascinating. Gasoline power used for many applications other than intended..
P.s. you absolutely break me completely up when you say I'm going to do the right thing and break these pistons out so the rest can pistonize themselves properly..or was that me???? Jezze it's catching!!!! Hahaha...
Hey no shit!! I want one.!! A barely rolling rust bucket of incredulous existence!!!!!
Just because!! It makes me happy!!!
I freaking love these videos.
I love these videos, when you get those old engines running its like listening to the past.
You are the man gets anything running
I really look forward to your videos. Keep them coming please!
Another fine video auto adventure! You have the patience of a saint & in today's world, that takes alot! Sad that you have a neighbor that plays games on ya like that, but as another fella said, maybe a trail cam will fix the issue. We all suffer with that kinda person sooner or later (I have some stories). Thanks again for the great shows!
we need more cuda and diamond t. nice videos man
Your enthusiasm is commendable 🙂
Hearing you say the word "Butt Whole" really made my day.
That bar you found--I got one just like it, and it is one of the handiest tools I have! I'd say you already got your money back.
SO SORRY SOME PEOPLE ARE SO JERKYYYY TO COME AND TAKE OVER YOUR GREAT VIDEO WORK.. THX.
I know you tried to sound optimistic about someone dumping flour on the engine. That would not be the reaction I would have used
That distributor cap beats the hell out of the location of the distributor on an LT1
I’m a Chevy guy myself, but boy I’ll tell you what I sure do like them old flatheads
You can always count on the Chevy guy to TELL YOU he's a Chevy guy!
@@spaceghost8995 yeah I always say I’m a Chevy guy but when it comes to vintage cars, I like them all lol
2 old Fords in a month? Woooooo! Just what I needed
Don't you love this nice cool weather we're having here in Arkansas? I live outside Benton, and I swear I saw the devil at Walmart buying a window unit A/C lol love the videos brother!
Another great show. You never disappoint and you're always fun to watch.
Nice job getting the old girl running. I had my doubts when you had the stuck and broken valves, but you did it!
TENACIOUS!!!!! GREAT JOB BUD!! Thank you.
I like that style of truck.I have a well cared for 48 f1 with a flathead 6 and four speed crash box.
Hell yeah, looking forward to the mail jeep
Well done Dustin. I always look forward to your clips. Especially when you get the valves “Valvolating” properly
That ATF cocktail works magic.
The distributor cap is the strangest place on the engine.Nice job!!
That was dirty of somebody to do that I like watching your videos they are interesting to watch how you take these old Motors and get them going again
Bloody wonderful
So many thanks
My back just went out but now I have some Jennings entertainment!
I'd like to see you stick with one of these one day. It's cool to get 'em started, but why not continue on with one? Make a whole series of you not just getting it running off of ether, but going further and doing a full restoration. Even if it's a discount restoration.
Love your videos, but this 48 Ford reminds me of the truck on roadkill that they call stubby Bob, it's pretty awesome that you got it running again and just keep doing what you're doing. Forget all the haters.....much love from Central Texas.
I love your optimism and perseverance. I would like to see what happens to these "rescues" . Once running, I suspect there are some people who might want to continue to do something with them! A follow-up periodically would be great!!
KROIL works amazing for getting those valves freed up 👍
It seemed to run better with the flour..🤣
I'm just kidding.. Only a real jerk would do something like that.
Great video,as usual.
Great Job 👍
I Enjoy these episodes and projects 👏👏👏
Keep up the good work ✌️🤠
Them ol girls still fart right up! 😎😁 nice work bud!
If you're ever out of gas, just rig up a can of ether and the gas pedal pushing on the sprayer and you're good to go. 😅😅 Good job getting this old girl running again!
I admire your persistent endeavors. I enjoy your content
I have driven many miles in one of these. Crash gear box and six volt ignition. Moved many a ton of wood on 17 inch rims. Lovely old wagon.
Hats off for not focussing on who did it but focus on your project. Respect.
And also: I am a flathead fan now. Love the sound of these engines. Will be hard to find one of these over here in Europe
God you're so positive, I'd be ready to get into a fight after that flour thing
I listen to this show just to hear his accent.
More magic is what I think. to get those old engines to run again.. Great video and you sure do a lot of hard work for us viewers to enjoy thank you for some great entertainment
Shame someone would do that to your project. TBH sounds like a bunghole with nothing better to do.
Anyways... Great video! Clearly you've spent a lot of time on this one to get the ole girl runnin'!
Great video, man. That's called a ladyfoot pry bar its good for prying and help lining up holes. Great tool
