@@gunerkacz8678 While I'm not 100% positive of that particular trucks specs (Clifford), 1 ton duallys are generally in the range of 32,000 lbs/16 tons. Clifford is far more than capable of hauling a 5 ton truck. Even in the video, it's the trailer that failed, not Clifford.
@Duca, it's easier to hunt deer with rocket launchers too, but that doesn't make it practical. So easier, yes, but not required. His truck was more than capable of hauling it. The trailer failed. That trailer with a tractor would've still failed. Why use a tractor when a 1 ton dually would've more than sufficed?

Can we just talk about how "This is sounding like a worse idea the more I talk about it....SOOOO I'm not going to talk about and just do" is a mood guys experience daily like myself.
YES I LOVE YOU FOR THIS! I’ve got 5 of these 6x6 monsters. The engine in yours is a NHC 250 Cummins. However, be careful with that oil leak because the military used one type of oil for everything in order to keep costs down on fluids like auto trans fluid, power steering, and everything else. So just in case, check the engine oil before adding any.
Wasn't about costs it was about the fact that it's just easier to supply one fluid type then half a dozen. This was a military piece of equipment, they don't get a NAPA or Autozone to go for things when they are in a combat zone.

In 1970 i bought a half ton 1941 powerwagon for $250. Had a hand crank could start it.. Built a stagecoach camper on it and had a tipi. Put the piles in top and went for 3 half years through 17 states doing farming harvesting fishing and construction for spare money. Lived the cheap life with my dogg and had the time of my life. Put 4 non directionals on rear and 2 new ones on front. Tires came from israel. What a trip spent time in various communes and hunting camps. Trip of a life time. Love to do it today but Im abit old. You trip me out big man. God bless in your fun
I bought a military humvee from the 80's and it died before I got home. Turns out it runs on JET FUEL and the MILITARY BASE i bought it from didnt even TELL ME. I also bought a military tow truck like your dumper, and it was ok.
You need a Soviet ZiL-131 6x6. It runs on any old piss fuel, petrol, diesel, kero, any contaminated mix of any old shit. Of course it only does 50mph top speed and you get 5mpg while it belches out pollution that would make Greta Thunbergs prodigal future daughters eyes water, but it does the job and doesn't need any John Deere or Tesla engineers to come out on a plane and hotel expense merely to reset the code to fix it when you have already fixed the problem of a leaking vacuum hose or other that caused an error code that was logged on Apples iCloud.
They run off of both diesel and JP8. Not all diesels can run off of JP8 because they can overheat. If it is JP8 compatible, it will run off of diesel. JP8 is mostly kerosene.
I had a wheel fall off a single axle trailer with all my stuff on I95 when moving south. Pair of boat trailer wheels with radials were put on cause the bias ply wouldn’t have made it. There was rust on the inner part of the wheel where it contacted the hub, rust flakes off lug nuts loosed up and the tire passed me at 70mph. Sheared every single stud right off. Took a few off the other side and put the spare on then limped to auto part stores looking for wheel studs. One had two of them, another had four. Glad nobody got hurt it bounced off the center median wall a few times and I was in the center lane slowing down carefully. Later on I saw that the u-bolt holding the axle on the trailer had been worn down 3/4 past the nut. Another 10 seconds the u-bolt would have let go and the axle would have come out of the trailer. Very lucky that didn’t happen among other things.
I've had a few of these, and deuces ... yeah the lights are a pincher type switch making it difficult to turn them on accidentally and " give away your position " ... these trucks are literally tons of fun, I recommend one to any young buck gearheads that gave place to park em. It does get old getting beat up driving and maintaining a rig designed to be crewed by a team of people. I used to wear a helmet for repairs, and earplugs when driving it ... five ton dump, great rig ! Congrats.
"Who said you had to buy a truck that runs, that's overrated. Buy you one that dont run, and you'll have so much more fun with it." I've been trying to tell my parents that but they wont listen!
Heres a story for you. I was at work and had just had time before home time to get the head back on this Mercedes. we also had the speedo and gauges out of it tracing an electrical problem. My boss asked me "how was it going". I said "its back together and i'll get it going in the morning when i'm fresh". He said "we'll get it going now just to make sure as tomorrow going to be busy". (his talk for "I've booked to much work in for tomorrow"). He jumps in and tells me to watch it as he starts it all in one motion. It starts and runs beautifully. All of a sudden he revs it up and switches it off in a hurry swearing and gets out of the car covered in oil from chin to balls.. Mercedes have an oil line and mechanical gauge in with the speedo which is sitting on the seat beside him. As he gets out the oil line retracts back into the cavity in the dash filling it in oil and trickling out onto the nice cream carpet. Half an hour to clean that up and the boss goes home covered in oil.
When I was in the Army a truck was only put out of service if the puddle of oil under it got to a certain size. You literally were supposed to take a tape measure, measure the puddle underneath, and put it back into service if the puddle wasn't too big. So the trick was you waited until the puddle was close to the size where you would take it out of service and then move it to a new spot so you could start a new puddle.
I have a 1983 M923. It's basically that exact truck:~) It was a Non-Runner when I bought it at Auction. It is up and running now. They Are pretty easy work on. The VERY First thing I did was Change All of the oils and Engine Coolant. Napa has the Antifreeze that has the Anti-Electrolysis additive Already in it. Electrolysis/Cavitation Will Kill the liners in these engines. I run a 50/50 mix here in Arizona. Do NOT put Tap Water in a cooling system... Unless it is an Emergency. I changed Every light to LED, except the headlights of course. There are some GREAT places I have found to buy New and Used parts for these trucks. I drive mine in parades and other assorted functions ALL the time. It's an Absolute BLAST to drive!
@@OutlawH2 that's a lot of oil from a small tube, I had that happen in my old commer. It also soaked through the floor into the battery tray and stopped it from charging haha. Don't get the whole truck covered in oil from a sender tube tho
Hi Westen. I think it's called a duece and a half. 6×6. Badass, go practically anywhere. Uncle Edward had one he kept at our house, when I was a kid. Hard a big mechanical winch. Pulled trees down and skidded logs with it..
“It’s still leaking, which means it’s got oil in it”, same idea applies to every British car from the 60’s and 70’s (I’ve restored a lot of them, even a freshly rebuilt motor leaks)
@@josephjakubec3171 This would get you home, 4 tires and two axles is better than not getting home or in your case you can just sit there and wait. Obviously you will still have to repair the damage.
@@juanar6233 um, no it wouldnt. The weight is too great for just 2 single tire axles. He needs all 3. That trailernis rated at around 18,000 lbs load capacity. That means he has 3 axles rated at 7,000lbs a piece plus the 20% put on the tow vehicle. That military truck pushes 22,000lbs. He was already over yet we know those trailers are underrated on their weights. He already pushed 4k over and lost a tire. That means he is down to 2 axles rated at 7,000lbs a piece meaning no more than 14,000lbs plus the 20% on the tow vehicle which would put it around 16,000lbs on the safe side to just chain up the axle. Again, truck is 22,000lbs. We are talking 8,000lbs or a 169.5in wheel base tradesman 3500 truck at 6900lbs. There is no way in hell he would have made it 2 hours on 2 axles without destroying the trailer requiring all axles be replaced and possibly the frame being realigned.

As he gets out the oil line retracts back into the cavity in the dash filling it in oil and trickling out onto the nice cream carpet. Half an hour to clean that up and the boss goes home covered in oil.
When I was in the Army a truck was only put out of service if the puddle of oil under it got to a certain size. You literally were supposed to take a tape measure, measure the puddle underneath, and put it back into service if the puddle wasn't too big. So the trick was you waited until the puddle was close to the size where you would take it out of service and then move it to a new spot so you could start a new puddle.
Those diesel prices are looking amazing right now!
Thank you for having a sort feature on your merch website. I scrolled for days tryna find a hat I liked.
Next time just buy one of each and you can give the rest away if you don’t like the style. Make a nice gift for Mother’s Day!
Westen: Buys 6x6*
Me: .-. Didn’t see that coming...
Jay Marie 10 wheeler*
6 wheel hubs tho
But it has 10 wheels in toatal
Hopefully we dont break the trailer in half. But you loose a wheel. That look on Doms face was priceless...
Lmao😂😂😂
I started seeing your videos on Facebook got addicted to watching them had to come to subscribe, I don’t even think I watch TV anymore😂
I have a 1983 M923. It's basically that exact truck:~) It was a Non-Runner when I bought it at Auction. It is up and running now. They Are pretty easy work on. The VERY First thing I did was Change All of the oils and Engine Coolant. Napa has the Antifreeze that has the Anti-Electrolysis additive Already in it. Electrolysis/Cavitation Will Kill the liners in these engines. I run a 50/50 mix here in Arizona. Do NOT put Tap Water in a cooling system... Unless it is an Emergency. I changed Every light to LED, except the headlights of course. There are some GREAT places I have found to buy New and Used parts for these trucks. I drive mine in parades and other assorted functions ALL the time. It's an Absolute BLAST to drive!
Sucks learning the hard way boys. I guess no dot in your area.
Right lol that's definitely over the Dodge's GVW
Considering they are not hauling commercially, they don’t have to worry about it
You're still learning the easy way or the hardway you will learn a lot faster and a lot more the hardway people take the easy don't learn anything
Why you think he’s hauling it at night
Rhett Austin Your Wrong
How are things going with that old ford farm tractor? I’d love to see another video on that.
On the edge of my seat to hear how that much oil leaking could end up in the cab. Looking forward to your love hate relationship with her.
guessing the line to the mechanical oil pressure gauge let go.
...or the Turbo, then dove home...
@@OutlawH2
@@OutlawH2 that's a lot of oil from a small tube, I had that happen in my old commer. It also soaked through the floor into the battery tray and stopped it from charging haha. Don't get the whole truck covered in oil from a sender tube tho
Hi Westen. I think it's called a duece and a half. 6×6. Badass, go practically anywhere. Uncle Edward had one he kept at our house, when I was a kid. Hard a big mechanical winch. Pulled trees down and skidded logs with it..
awsome video westen at lease she made it home thumbs up and shared
What happen to first gen dodge u were painting
David,
Do you realize a first gen Dodge pick up would be a 1915? Maybe you meant a FIRST gen with a cummins ?
Hey where is Westen? I don’t know, just follow the oil trial.
Kansas, I think. 🤔
Oh yes Westen m8 i so look forward to this!
Backing it on woulda prolly been a better idea 😆
I love how much fun you and your crew have Westin.. The adventure to get the Army truck looked like something
"it's got a leak" 😂
IT took a leak
“It’s still leaking, which means it’s got oil in it”, same idea applies to every British car from the 60’s and 70’s (I’ve restored a lot of them, even a freshly rebuilt motor leaks)
same for harleys.
I would have chained the axle up on the trailer:) Been there done that lol
A lot of weight for two tires. Obviously you weren't in the military.
Joseph Jakubec I don’t think you have to be in the military to realize that thing ain’t light
@@josephjakubec3171 This would get you home, 4 tires and two axles is better than not getting home or in your case you can just sit there and wait. Obviously you will still have to repair the damage.
@@juanar6233 um, no it wouldnt. The weight is too great for just 2 single tire axles. He needs all 3. That trailernis rated at around 18,000 lbs load capacity. That means he has 3 axles rated at 7,000lbs a piece plus the 20% put on the tow vehicle. That military truck pushes 22,000lbs. He was already over yet we know those trailers are underrated on their weights. He already pushed 4k over and lost a tire. That means he is down to 2 axles rated at 7,000lbs a piece meaning no more than 14,000lbs plus the 20% on the tow vehicle which would put it around 16,000lbs on the safe side to just chain up the axle. Again, truck is 22,000lbs. We are talking 8,000lbs or a 169.5in wheel base tradesman 3500 truck at 6900lbs. There is no way in hell he would have made it 2 hours on 2 axles without destroying the trailer requiring all axles be replaced and possibly the frame being realigned.
@@brandoncaldwell95 Nobody said you are going to do freeway speeds but you can always sit there if you choose to. Self rescue is an art that some people do not have.
Man sounds like a adventure! I love trips like this they are always interesting !
The Billings Barndominium from Menards!!!
Thats my dream shop also.
I thought this was reason you bought the Peterbilt, to haul big stuff
He needs a trailer for it.
I saw the truck loaded on the trailer, and started praying for the trailer... I guess I didn’t pray hard enough. 😳
"I'm working on a Ford Mustang. I'm also working on a Ford Raptor. Also, I'm building a new house! Oh, another project will fit in nicely!"
I'm loving the fact that you bought an old ass military truck, I really do! The moment I saw it I want to have it, but are you sure this is a good idea? To have another project along your 3 other ones that are more apart than together?
I like how when Westen is buying a military truck and it breaks down it overheats and it lost the tire and it's leaking oil
Aweeeeee man... I wanted to see more of what happened... To the truck...
Show us more Westen... When wierd things like that happen... We gotta see it
