Chris, you’re old school Philadelphia“brotherly love”. Helps the dog on this episode, stops for people broken down, and the coup de grace - you were ultra-patient with the dude trying to get that vehicle out of the tight backyard from awhile back. Given that you’re from a city that threw batteries at Santa Claus - you’re a good dude. 😂
I love seeing humans spontaneously going out of their way to help (a dog in danger in this case.) Always restores my faith in humanity somewhat. Thanks for doing and showing that Chris!
@4:20 - In my 54 years on this planet, I have never gone wrong by judging people personally by how they treat animals. You, sir, are good farging people. Seriously GREAT deed, man. I'd sub to your channel again if I could.
That was a real good deal! I am with Jen on this one , keep the truck for the clapper. Leave the Clapper on it and be ready to go anytime! Get rid of one of your lesser used vehicles. The truck is far more useful than some of the others that you have.
Man i love that auctioneer. No screaming and yelling and none of the stupid "mmmmm hey bid bida bida flip flips and sunscreeen i got 20 over here and so on and so on.
When I saw the dog I knew you would make every effort to to get it to safety. You are that type of person. Good for you ! Love the Gus man and his friend.
Helping save that dog: Legendary man, made my whole day. Immanuel Kant, a renowned German philosopher, once said, “We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.” This statement is powerful and carries a lot of meaning. In essence, it means that how someone treats animals reflects their character and moral values.
It's the perfect vehicle for the camper. All that usable storage space plus an auto so Jenn can share the driving on long trips. Rust free and not overly computerized.
Ahh the Calhoun Street bridge, drove across it many times when I lived in New Jersey. That one and the Burlington Bristol Bridge every 5-6 days a week. I used to drive it daily to school at TCNJ and then to work on State Street. I haven't been across it in a few years since I moved to DC for work. But you crossing it and also riding your motorcycle reminds me to plan to go up there on my bike in the spring. I want to ride to places like the Canal and New Hope. I'll probably go to New Hope this month though, they always decorate the town nice for Christmas and my girlfriend would love it.
hey Chris if you sweep polymeric sand in-between the pavers then mist it with a hose it will make a rubber sealant and keep water from washing and making pavers go uneven. just some thoughts thats how we always did our patios. great video.
Hey, yeah that polymeric sand is great stuff. However it's a little expensive. And I don't like that over time it cracks and then you have to scrape it out to reapply. I ended up using regular sand that way I can sweep it back in as needed. And I'm not too worried about the pavers settling because it's not an entertainment area. Hopefully they stay level mostly
I'm down in Texas where rust isn't too much of a problem (except for flood vehicles) keep that truck its a good looking rig . I got a 06 F350 at auction old I'll field truck lots of miles but great truck a pair of batteries and drove it home, put a set of tires on it and been using & abusing it for over 2 years
Those trucks had undersize transmission coolers. So if you're pulling hard and heating the trans fluid, it will get pushed out the front pump seal and smoke the trans. If you plan on keeping it, swap in the 6.0 diesel trans cooler. Just adapt from 3/8 to 1/2" lines and it bolts right onto the factory location There's a speed sensor on top the trans and one in the rear end. Swap the rear end sensor first
Nice truck, commen problem those trucks have is the wiring going to the gear shift lever wiring for overdrive, take column apart with the 3 screws & disconnect the wiring for gear shift overdrive. I bet speedo will work
Nice score on the utility truck. Tucker and Gus crack me up. Good on ya for helping with the runaway dog he sure was lucky there were a group of people willing to help.
I bought a BC truck with a blown engine in 2020 for like $700. 2004 and it's still minty. Think next time I need new wheels I'm going to Victoria instead of the rust belt
I've got a '99 F350 SD, crew cab, 4WD and came with the Warn bumper & winch set up. Came from Central Oregon "Cattle country" and is rust free underneath (no undercoating, too). Bought cheap, updated & upgraded, painted it (5 gallons of material!), and the only issue has been spark plug #4 has ejected twice. It was done once before I got it, but this last time I used the biggest insert & JB Weld'd it in place. No problems thus far. Good truck except for that- that flashing? yup it's telling you
With the utility bed, you can sound proof a storage area for a small generator extra batteries to power the camper, and a 12v ecoflow a/c-heater just make camping so much more enjoyable.
Nice buy on the truck, and thanks for helping to save that dog's life on the highway. I bet Shana got more views today than she has had in a good 25 years or so!
Chris you have the best channel. Your content and the way you can switch topics keeping things interesting without being scattered. Hope you share the tundra work you’re doing. Love the 1st gen stuff. Keep up the good work your channels are only going to keep growing
I would ignore the coolant level. Thats where my coolant level always ends up being on the 6.8 in our excursion, no matter how many times I fill it to the correct line. Also, the overdrive light flash is a transmission code, I think it might have a something to do with no speedo. Also, it will throw a tans code if the truck dies while in gear.
As an owner of a 2001 f250 from Ohio plow truck with 120k… the fact ur truck is as clean as it is just amazes me! For the price that’s a sweet deal! I’d love to find something like that
Excellent job with the dog shows you care. You are the most thoroughly enjoyable person to listen to you really put on a good show I love to listen to you you’ve got so many ideas you are the Bob Vila of automobiles great job look forward to the next one. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving you and Jen.
Those engines are good to 500/600 k as long as you can keep the plugs in it, as a tip use motorcraft plugs, they are not as likely to turn into ufo's . ( unfortunate flyin objects)
For the open garage I would just buy some plastic curtains like they use in warehouses that the forklifts drive thru...then in summer tie them off to the side
2016 at an auction just north of Chicago. I scored a 1996 F350 4x4 with 1,200 original miles for 800 bucks. I just needed the motor. Was getting ready to put it on the trailer. Then decided to throw a battery in it just to see if mabey I could drive it on. Turned the key, checked the odometer, and couldn't believe my eyes. So I went found the manager in charge, and asked him if he knew anything about the truck. He said that the city of Chicago bought it new, used it one season for plowing snow. Then parked it right there. After I replaced all the brake lines. I basically had a brand new F350 with hydraulics for $800. Soooooo lucky!!!!
Thanks so much for your help with the runaway pooch ! He is so lucky to get out of that mess alive Impressed with the amount of people who helped ! Your a real gent , glad i subscribed a few videos ago The way a person treats animals says so much about their character ❤
Amazingly rust free for a vehicle from anywhere that salts the roads! Love the idea of the low profile utility bed with camper, particularly the storage and lower center of gravity. With 4WD and maybe an extended or crew cab, you'd have an outstanding platform for an adventure camper/overlanding rig. Thanks for the great ideas and inspiration!
What a score on this truck, I would keep it because its so versatle. i figured it would have been a blown engine or trans and was quite shocked when it started right up and ran and drove perfect, again great score and good looking too!
I don't know if you know this trick but you can use dry erase markers to take off permanent marker. Just scribble it on the permanent marker with the dry erase and wipe clean.
As for the writing on the paint try some charcoal fluid it is just about the same as "Goof off " but, 90 % less expensive . it should do the trick without harming the factory paint . I fyou already didn't know ,,, I would love a detailed video on this truck , I have a 1999 with 84000 miles on it and get a check engine light ( bank 1& 2 lean ) Thanks Chris
you can use a billboard tarp for the shed they come ready to accept pipe to hold them down i use them for everything super strong i have 1 that is 15 years old no damage
The 4R100/E4OD has an input and output sensor on the side of the case and if they are bad it will flash the O/D light, possibly shift hard and set off the engine light as well as go full trans pressure as a default from not having a signal. Oh and not have a speedometer signal. Nice truck though and in very clean shape
Hey Chris, if you’re not in a huge rush to sell it, you can legally title it (and register it to drive) in North Dakota with your Pennsylvania address. You only pay sales tax on the purchase price (as opposed to the market value that most states charge). You’ll be on the road for under 200 bucks!
Yeah it's much nicer than the gravel that was in there! Very worthwhile upgrade and only $600 in pavers. Lot of Labor though. My wrists and back hurt me for a day or two
I agree with Jenn on keeping the truck because it’s in excellent condition and you can do revivals with it because of the camper. Just my opinion so take it for what it is.
Your really a awesome guy taking your time out for that dog. Looks like you live in a great community with all of the people stopping and trying to help catch the dog as well. Hope all works out well for you and your utility bed truck.
Wow. I'm in NH and I've NEVER seen that generation truck no matter what make so rust free. At least nowhere in New England or upstate NY. And at least not for sale. Maybe the few that exist are all keepers. Hard to believe it was driven much in the winter. Maybe the Hobbs meter shows it idled a lot haha.
Top bloke for helping rescue the dog. I would do another video on the truck, ie sorting out the speedometer and tidying/checking/fixing it, then try selling for top dollar rather than just $4k. Noticed Turbo kept out the way of Gus and his brother! Looking forward to Jen's next video. Maybe a clear PVC strip curtain on the garage as long as the strips wouldn't damage what's parked in side if windy?
@@NNKH2by the way, at 24:05 there was the sticker in the passenger window that said "new jersey state for official use". Wonder if that light trailer might have been pulled by that truck? Same color and unit number.
🗿💨used to work on heileg Meyer furniture trucks, them trans had upshift probs in od. We used 2oz of gm posi additive to straighten it out. Thanks for sharing Chris 👍

We threw snowballs
Yoo that was a good episode =D
Nice work 💪🇺🇸
Very well said sir. Could not agree more!
We threw snowballs.... And Santa was a Giants fan!
I am glad to see that there are people like yourself that are willing to do the right thing and Help the Pup on the Highway. Good Stuff 👍
Taking time to help k9 great job everyone 👍
That was doing to much I think I wouldn't help especially when it causes traffic jams
Yeah, I was impressed by that...
I love seeing humans spontaneously going out of their way to help (a dog in danger in this case.) Always restores my faith in humanity somewhat. Thanks for doing and showing that Chris!

Keep it with the camper. Hopefully, you get the colors to match better. It's a perfect fit, especially with the utility storage bins.
That was a real good deal! I am with Jen on this one , keep the truck for the clapper. Leave the Clapper on it and be ready to go anytime! Get rid of one of your lesser used vehicles. The truck is far more useful than some of the others that you have.

@14:11 try alcohol for removing marker. In a pinch WD-40
I cannot get enough of your Awesome content Chris it really brightens a guy's day,love the flow,love the know how,keep it up.Thanks for sharing.
Probably needs the speed sensor or pigtail replaced on the rear diff. I think you made a great buy on the truck
I'm with everyone else keep the Ford. The way it is be a great service truck and sell something else that you don't need
That is a bad ass truck for a great price. That would be an $8000 truck here in Texas all day long.
Looks like a NJ. Dot service n truck
@@gerry-p9xthat would explain the high engine hour compared to actual miles
13k easy up in Ontario 😭
I was going to say the same!, Houston area here!
I'm in the Pacific Northwest and that looks like $10K easy. I can't believe you got that for $2800. Nice score, Chris.
It's the perfect vehicle for the camper. All that usable storage space plus an auto so Jenn can share the driving on long trips. Rust free and not overly computerized.
Keep the truck, to use with the camper, a great combination!
Ahh the Calhoun Street bridge, drove across it many times when I lived in New Jersey. That one and the Burlington Bristol Bridge every 5-6 days a week.

I'll probably go to New Hope this month though, they always decorate the town nice for Christmas and my girlfriend would love it.
this would be the perfect truck to fill with tools and supplies to go potential projects running or doing recoveries. She's a keeper for sure
HEY! Hello Chris and Jen! I hope that you had a Happy Thanksgiving!
We did! Hope you and your family did as well
Same here in Berlin Germany. Still some green everywhere... Chris, thanks for caring for that doggy.
Nice deed way to save the dog..need more people like that in this world
love these auction purchase "will it flip" videos, would def like to see more of these auction purchases.
God bless you for helping that pup 🐶
Check plug on side of the transmission speed sensor if not unplugged ? 🤔🙏😬
ty for helping in getting the dog 😊🤙🏼
Grain truck style tarp would make a nice roll down door!
hey Chris if you sweep polymeric sand in-between the pavers then mist it with a hose it will make a rubber sealant and keep water from washing and making pavers go uneven. just some thoughts thats how we always did our patios. great video.

You’re a top man helping that poor little dog ..👍
Please keep doing these Chris, recently got into flipping cars on the side and love picking tips and tricks up off of you!
Flatbed transport tarp will cover the shed opening perfectly. Nice and thick and rubberized.
I'm down in Texas where rust isn't too much of a problem (except for flood vehicles) keep that truck its a good looking rig . I got a 06 F350 at auction old I'll field truck lots of miles but great truck a pair of batteries and drove it home, put a set of tires on it and been using & abusing it for over 2 years

There's a speed sensor on top the trans and one in the rear end. Swap the rear end sensor first
Love comment help like this and I don’t have a truck like this I’ve got a focus rs and Escort Cosworth
Good going, Chris! Excellent job assisting with the pup. 🙏
Nice truck, commen problem those trucks have is the wiring going to the gear shift lever wiring for overdrive, take column apart with the 3 screws & disconnect the wiring for gear shift overdrive. I bet speedo will work
Happened to mine & I even replaced the complete gear shift arm
Nice score on the utility truck. Tucker and Gus crack me up. Good on ya for helping with the runaway dog he sure was lucky there were a group of people willing to help.
Those cab corners and rockers... As a Canadian I've always wondered what they looked like without rust holes. 😂 Nice find.
I bought a BC truck with a blown engine in 2020 for like $700. 2004 and it's still minty. Think next time I need new wheels I'm going to Victoria instead of the rust belt
Great stuff helping the Pup
you're a good man Chris...Turbo and Gus would be proud
I really like that you always include some of the history of the local areas that you're in. Always learn something new. Thanks Chris.
5.4 2 valve engined are very good engines.

Maybe go thru how you find out about the auctions and when they are..and if you need anything specific to be able to attend..teach us ol obi juan..lol

Weiner dogs are the best! My little doxie is turning the big 12. My other two 75lb pups are afraid of him he's the boss 😂😂
Nice buy on the truck, and thanks for helping to save that dog's life on the highway. I bet Shana got more views today than she has had in a good 25 years or so!
4:30 what a difficult situation, provided support through it all , Great to see a citizen protecting even fur babies .
Check if the rear diff has a vehicle speed sensor. ONLY buy a motor craft if it needs it. You get that OD light and a wonky speedo of its bad.
Chris you have the best channel. Your content and the way you can switch topics keeping things interesting without being scattered. Hope you share the tundra work you’re doing. Love the 1st gen stuff.
Keep up the good work your channels are only going to keep growing

Add some tow mirrors and it’s ready to rock

Hi Chris, Awesome that you have a "pin" and "plastics" bin! Hi to Jen, Turbo and scratch Gus' ear for me.
As an owner of a 2001 f250 from Ohio plow truck with 120k… the fact ur truck is as clean as it is just amazes me! For the price that’s a sweet deal! I’d love to find something like that
Whoosh! I am absolutely glad the dog was saved.❤
Two thumbs up for the dog rescue. 👍👍
Came here for a truck buying video... got wholesome love for a dog that the world needs. Good guy showing me that real jersey people are good people
Excellent find camper looks great on that truck cheers guys 😊
Excellent job with the dog shows you care. You are the most thoroughly enjoyable person to listen to you really put on a good show I love to listen to you you’ve got so many ideas you are the Bob Vila of automobiles great job look forward to the next one. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving you and Jen.
yup when i saw that dog run i would have went into the highway you showed patience and it all worked out
Chris, you can use this on your “will it starts “. It’ll be perfect. 👍🏻
Those engines are good to 500/600 k as long as you can keep the plugs in it, as a tip use motorcraft plugs, they are not as likely to turn into ufo's . ( unfortunate flyin objects)
oh man, that camper on the yellow truck = Priceless and love it. Great idea !!! I hope I can find one like that.
For the open garage I would just buy some plastic curtains like they use in warehouses that the forklifts drive thru...then in summer tie them off to the side
Yeah that's a good idea. I'll have to keep an eye out for some. Or maybe an old billboard vinyl
My thoughts exactly. You saved me all the typing!😊
Wow!!1 A rustfree truck from N.J. ??!!! Good buy !!!
2016 at an auction just north of Chicago.
I scored a 1996 F350 4x4 with 1,200 original miles for 800 bucks.

Thanks so much for your help with the runaway pooch ! He is so lucky to get out of that mess alive
Impressed with the amount of people who helped !
Your a real gent , glad i subscribed a few videos ago
The way a person treats animals says so much about their character ❤
Thanks Chris for helping save the young pup 👍
12:20 I really enjoy your commentary , evaluation on the road . This is one great find !
Amazingly rust free for a vehicle from anywhere that salts the roads! Love the idea of the low profile utility bed with camper, particularly the storage and lower center of gravity.

speedometer not working is more then likely the speed sensor on the top of the rear end. it runs the abs and speedometer.
We both would have done the same thing for that dog, you are very much like me and I hope to be like you. You are a decent human!!!
We did same for lost dog on rte 1?trooper held traffic for. Us
What a score on this truck, I would keep it because its so versatle. i figured it would have been a blown engine or trans and was quite shocked when it started right up and ran and drove perfect, again great score and good looking too!
solid find, great deal given the condition on it
Good people coming together all caught on video that day 😎 Auction find videos are always fun to watch.

the tamped stonework in the one garage looks awesome and is probably much nicer to deal with.
Yeah it's much nicer than the gravel that was in there! Very worthwhile upgrade and only $600 in pavers. Lot of Labor though. My wrists and back hurt me for a day or two

Im a fan early 1990s to 2000s ford truck and this is a good buy right here all though i like the automatic version of them 👌
Nice to see you out on Big H!. Well done Mr 😎
Love your vids Chris!!
What a concept, you look ready for a trip into the Klondike. 🥶🧑🏻🔧🚗

Hi thank you good show. Well done with the runaway dog 👍👍 all the best 👍🐝🌞
Pretty good buy on the Ford 😜. Thanks 👍 for sharing. Lov watching the dogs playing 😄.
What good person!! saved the dog..TY,, nice truck ,keep up the good work..
We have the goodall startall at work, it will jump dead firetrucks and semis in 20⁰ weather. Thing is a beast.
Yeah pretty amazing power they have!
@@NNKH2by the way, at 24:05 there was the sticker in the passenger window that said "new jersey state for official use". Wonder if that light trailer might have been pulled by that truck? Same color and unit number.
I think i would have to replace the tundra with the f250. Better for towing anyway. Just my 2 cents.
Thanks for showing us your locality.
Its cool for us across the pond in the UK to see.
Thank you for helping that dog.
🗿💨used to work on heileg Meyer furniture trucks, them trans had upshift probs in od. We used 2oz of gm posi additive to straighten it out. Thanks for sharing Chris 👍
Great Outing Chris! You sure are “The Man About Town” Keep up the 2 Channel,
Put a track up and a sliding barn door style of a door. Build the door out of an aluminum frame with tin cladding.
That truck turned into a score! Good runner, clean chassis and body and a good spec. Since you don’t want it, it will make someone a real good truck!
