You have to love a well maintained truck!

I just love the "structural floor mats", blankin' mint!

I've got to hand it to this guy. For knowing nothing about these engines, he did get it running again relatively quickly. There was also quite a bit that wasn't shown in the video. I wonder how much research he did on here?

I yelled at him a couple times through the screen. Didn't seem to help for some reason

Pretty surprising how fast it turned over though given how nasty the rest of the truck is, lol. This mechanic obviously knows the concepts of the engine systems very well, just needed the specifics to get after it. Kinda fun to watch. Funny guy too.

Also a great example of how to ether lock an IDI!

I love the seat belt part. "wonder what the seat belt looks like?" (Rips it out easily) "well that's not good."

I have seen EGR deletes, def deletes, exhaust deletes. First time seeing a radiator delete.

I don't know. I've seen a lot of old VWs running around.

A Rock deleted the one on mine.

WHOOPS!

I really think that the best fix for the truck in the video would be to remove the radiator cap and drive another truck underneath it. Then pull out the engine, transmission, and turbo to keep for spares.

That truck is beyond rough. I can’t imagine putting as much money into it as they did unless they have another body to swap onto it.

I think it’s worth noting that the ether did absolutely nothing when he didn’t have power to the FSS. It was a good demonstration that you have to have at least some fuel for ether to fire.

Not to mention that by that time, the starter wasn't turning over very fast either. It probably was never going to fire by that point.

Excellent point and it makes me wonder how cold that engine and can if ether were. Cause near freezing I've found that today's ether cocktails are garbage, and he even mentioned that it might be too cold for the ether to work. Ether didn't used to be that way...EPA police shut that down.
