You need to find an old school mechanic Jason, changing the head gasket on a small motor like that Suzuki should be pretty straight forward.
Either a blown head gasket or valve seals with the possibility of vacuum sucking engine oil into the combustion cycle (the vacuum routing on these trucks is a comical nightmare). None of those is the end of the engine or expensive/difficult to fix. I can see wanting a different truck but that one is not condemned, it just needs a mechanic who wants to work on it.
I love how close you are with your in-laws! They seem to be beautiful people, and considering how lovely Lorraine is, you are truly blessed!
So happy you’ve got a new truck! I know it has to be helpful carrying everything around the farm! Love you all ❤❤❤
In Japan the koi farmers use these mini trucks to transport the koi all around the mountains. Let's hope your new truck will become your work horse and not let you down xxxx
I saw one of your Suzuki mini trucks at a classic car meet in UK last week ..I said Oh Jasons truck 😂
So sorry about your little truck, but so nice that Tony made it good! Like he said, this is the 1st failure. I just love these trucks! I wish we could get one in Northern California.
Spray bed liner is the way to go... Mats will rust things out
You can spray the bottom of the truck to help with rust issues.
Facts 💯
I had a heavy thick rubber mat in my 1993 chevy s-10 for two decades and had no rust. It is all about how your treat your truck. I took the mat out for loads of mulch so it was easy to unload; I cleaned the bed when it needed it... and it was easy because I could pull off the matt and just hose everything off. Liners are more difficult to clean off than a regular metal bed. Also, non-lined beds allow for much easier mulch / dirt unloading. I love liners too... but everything has their place.
They can easily fix that blown gasket of your kei truck here in the 😢Philippines .theres a lot of motoparts supply you can buy gasket here
The rubber mats cause no rust at all, my Carry has one since new in 2002 and the paint under it is still like new!
I’d keep the “broken” one and just drive it into the dirt. It would make a good one to use for the kinda stuff you wouldn’t do with the new one! Jumps, water and the like. Also, it would be a good one to teach your daughter how to drive with, that way if it gets messed up, oh well! Good video as always!
CONGRATULATIONS on buying a replacement minitruck. Tim in northern TN
Suzuki Carry is so legendary in Indonesia, we even call all mini trucks 'carry' even though they are from different brands of car manufacturers.
You always looked so happy with that first truck that it was a real joy to watch. And then so sad when it quit working that it made me sad, too. Really glad you've got a new truck for the farm!
Randy getting happy about the cassette player was hilarious. Old memories 😂. If I watch enough TH-cam videos I’m pretty sure I can fix it😅
So great you have someone at your back for mini-truck. We know how excited you were‼️👍
Sorry about your truck. Hopefully someone will love to take an opportunity to tinker with it. 🙏 the new one outlasts the first one by many many years🙏
So good to see you back in a mini truck!
That little enclosed van would’ve made a perfect rural mail delivery vehicle. I wish I would’ve had one during the 20 years I worked for the USPS.
If your mini guy has them, get a Sambar with a supercharger. You will have a lot more power (52 hp) and can drive on the freeway without holding up traffic. The rear engine configuration makes for better traction and stability. The rear engine location facilitates easier access for servicing. The holy grail is to find one with differential lock.
SoCal still sucks.
But we love all you are doing!
I am sorry that your first farm truck had a problem. I am so happy that you didn't give up on the little trucks! I think they are cute and so versatile. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations on getting the farm truck 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 You really needed it. 😊
I think those trucks are happy to be with you☘️
The Honda Acty is the best pound for pound kei truck on the market, also the most reliable of its class. Hence why I own two Acty Trucks and one Acty Van.
Wow Jason it’s great that the person who sold you the first mini truck worked with you for the second one. I hope you got a heckuva deal! If this one only lasts four months then that dealer has some serious explaining to do selling trucks that are of such low quality. Hopefully that won’t be the case. God bless! 🥰❤️🙏🏻
Jason.
Your channel/station, makes me smile and laugh.
You want reliable. It’s at least 30 years old, right???
I’ve learned so much from your TH-cams and with the 3 talking heads.
Keep trucking!!!
I’m also from California now some farmsteadning
In Kansas.
Goooooooo Jason!!! 😁
A mini dump is exactly what I am looking for! So beautiful. 🌞🌱❤️
So much fun watching you with your father-in-law
Good to see you have a new truck, and the owner worked with you.
Been looking forward for a video drop from yall 💪🏾💪🏾
Love that you have a new truck. Fun video.
Yahoo! Happy for you Jason! 👍👍
Those trucks are so great. Happy you were able to get another. 😊
Congratulations on finding the new truck; thanks for sharing! 🤗💗🇨🇦
Good luck with the new to you mini truck
I’m glad you got the truck. God bless.
Finally, something affordable, simple, and durable !
the dump truck one would be great for farming. with the different jobs that need be done, it could do it
I'm loving the little truck!
Love your new little truck!!!
So glad you got that worked out. Hope this one does well.
I'd love a cary with the dump bed and has to be 4x4. We live in the mountains and alotta acreage. Dandahermit
Good luck with the new truck Jason, hope it lasts longer!!!
The mini just fits you, Jason. Happy for you.
These are all over the place in Guam. They have the vans and Jimny too. They kind of have a cult following like low riders. People pimp them out. They are all 25 years old or older.
Glad you got another truck
I love those little trucks. I liked the dump lift.
Glad you were able to get another truck Jason ! The little pigs eating the kale was a nice clip. Thanks :)
Good job on newer truck👌❗️always enjoy your videos 😊
Congrats I know you are glad to have a truck back
I think we missed your mini truck almost as much as you did! It made you so happy!! I'm sorry it wasn't worth fixing but glad you found another one you like.
It's so cute. 🕊
So glad you found a new old truck like your other one. 💞
💚 Yay for the new, newer mini-truck! Hope it does last 5 years. Looked like fun test-driving with Randy. 💚
Great to see the new farm truck . . . great selection of trucks, wish it was close to me. Cheers looked like fun, guy shopping day.
Heya, hope you gone have a lot off fun with your new truck
Great customer relations tony😊
Head gasket? Easy fix, we changed those all the time here in PH, we even convert those kei trucks to left hand,
Good luck with your new truck. Hope it lasts for years and years.
Ah Randy loved that Fire truck lol. Glad you got a newer one and on wheels again
hope this works better for you. God bless you.
Love your new farm truck! It’s going to last for many years.
So excited for you to get another one!! Hopefully it does last you for more than 5 years..
I had the exact issues happen to my 2000 Ford Ranger 1 month after buying it
I want one.
Very happy for you. Let's face it, equipment like this really helps give you more time to do more things on the homestead. FYI I believe you can find kits that will turn that truck bed into a dump bed. Very handy. Have a great day. 😊
Good video ! God Bless !!!
I missed seeing you buzz around in your farm truck. Hope this one works out!
Happy trucking and easy work put a farm use tag on it.
Congrats
Of course the Honda sounded quieter because you're not sitting on top of the engine like the Suzuki!..The Honda engine is at the back axle. Really bad luck to have the head gasket go on the original truck. Poor Jason. I'm glad you got a new one and you're happy with it! We've all been waiting for this video.
Here in Philippines we call it multicab...No multicab wasted here !!
Lorraine, I know the pigs enjoy the peach skins, but have you thought of freeze drying them? I bet you could, then pulverized them to powder and use it to flavor drinks, like teas, lemonades, etc. Just a thought.
Love the new truck Jason, the rubber mat is a great addition. Maybe roll it up if it ever rains to stop water collecting underneath if you are worried about rust.
We looked at a van almost bought it - they are really cool vehicles!
Awesome video!
I'm glad you got another. I wrench for a living and was bummed out for you when I saw that white smoke. I could tell you loved the truck (and totally get why you do). Hope dude gave you a break on the replacement. (And part of me was really hoping you were gonna pop for the brand new dump body!)
You pick the truck I picked. Needed piece of equipment on your farm. I sure hope this one holds up.
I have to say I have a big smile on my face in the UK we are aright hand drive country with what you call stick shift. I’ve been to the USA a few times and refuse to drive because your left hand drive. Well done and brave of you swapping sides of road is scary . Love your channel
I'm kinda surprised that the mechanic said that it wasn't worth rebuilding after a blown head gasket. Unless the cylinders are actually damaged, thats not a terribly difficult job.
I'd get a second opinion, bring it to a snowmobile shop, or a motorcycle shop, and see if they will do it.
I love my super carry, its everything I want in a truck, and nothing I don't.
Spray the bed to protect it from rusting and then use the liner!!
Hopefully you have better luck with this truck. If they have the same parts may be a good idea to keep the old truck to use for parts.
Glad that you got your new truck, but what astonished me is the quantity of grass on your property when compared with when you bought t, it has improved so much!
I am surprised and pleased for you that the seller was willing to work with and for you.
And yes, I think I could get used to the right hand drive easier than a left hand shifter! That clutch foot and shifting hand action is so automatic. Its automatic enough that at least once I reach in half a panic or slam on the brakes when driving an automatic.
Former neighbour and wife weighed 500lbs+ and travelled around in a K truck!!
Local Bakery used a couple for in town deliveries.
Still driving my lil suzuki van everyday I love it...great on fuel...😊
Ilike the little truck cute
Good thing you live close to Mayberry, I bought one from them about 6 months ago. It to has issues, contacted them the day it arrived, told me that I live too far from away, to help me. By the way I live in Oklahoma. Hope and pray things work out better for you than me
That truck would be a good project for them Rhodes boys or the Hollars boys. Their all very good about gitting it dun , just like y'all are. So happy you have a wonderful relationship with your family and in laws . I gasp when I heard Lorraine say peach peels/skins to the pigs . My Granny made peach gelly with the skin and let over scrap pcs. The same with apples. Much love to y'all and pray for a wonderful weekend.👍💛🙏
You might retorque the the head bolts. Since the engine smokes or steams once it is warm, and not right away, the head bolts could simply snug and NOT at the correct torque levels...
like the van. be cool for road trips
I’ve got a Subaru Dias micro van, the flat three engine is over the back wheels, it has great traction.
Mini trucks rock.
Looking good 🙂,✌️🙏
HEY, ISN'T MT. AIRY, North Carolina a town that is close to where Sheriff & Deputy of MAYBERRY lived & worked?
In the Philippines, we converted this truck from the right-hand drive to the left-hand drive before selling, by the way we call them multicab, and the prices here are much lower for around 1,800 to 5,400 USD.
Yeah u got a truck back ❤
We have a decent sized farm that relies on side by sides. We have gone the mini truck route before and it has never worked out. Constantly breaking. Can’t go off-road,rides like a wooden wagon. We have side by sides that range from brand new to 18 years old. They all work fine and don’t give us trouble.
we bought a Hijet in the spring - my husband loves it! It is getting around 40 mi to the gallon, and gets up to 60 comfortably on the highway. ended up put in a lift kit
40 years ago I had a 250cc Honda version and loved it . Great for hobbies. A bit of trouble with dynostart. Put a ply body on and overnight in i
Those are just the cutest lil farm vehicles. Been driving on the left for about 7 yrs in the Caribbean. I can not do a manual transmission here. My brain just wont do the left hand shifting. Learning curve lol.
Hauling wood, we have to brush out as much as we can on the F250. So much Fun lifting up the 3/4” thick bed mat.
