The oil cooler probably failed allowing oil to enter the coolant. The real issue is when the engine is shut off and oil pressure drops, pressure from the cooling system will push coolant into the oil.

What a coincidence! I was at a local park in Hiram, Ga. with my son today and saw this truck drive by! I pointed it out to my son and mentioned that is sounds like a Cummins. He loved it! THEN, it just pops up on youtube, the same day, lol. I'll have to show him this in the morning!

I was stuck in a motel in 1979, in Waukeshaw, Wisconsin and about 10 below zero, with a Kenworth Cabover 2-axle tractor that wouldn't start. I figured, "What the hell? I've had AAA for 15 years, I might as well give them a call." They didn't want my call. The nice lady said, " Your towing coverage doesn't include commercial vehicles. I tried to tell her, "it's a really nice truck and I left the trailer in the terminal yard so it would be really easy to hook up to." She wasn't buyin'! I spent the weekend in that little motel and it never did get above zero... but there's a restaurant called Zorba's attached to the motel (still) and they had great food so I didn't suffer too much. TV in 1979 ran out of excitement pretty quickly so it was a borrrring weekend!
I was looking at that store like "Wow, that fireworks store looks like the one just down the road from where I live... then I saw the Robert's Towing truck... and it all made sense. Robert's does a great job.
I wanna obviously say that I love everything you are a part of!! My wife let me be away for valentine's day to go buy my second crew cab squarebody before. That's what made this video awesome to start out with. Then as I'm watching it you all drove right past my house to get where ya broke down!!! I'm literally less then 15 minutes away from the superstore. If you guys need any kind of help with the truck or whatnot dont be scared to ask a stranger. I step out of my own way to help others. P.s. this is my wife's account she set up for me as a gift because she knows I love these shows!
Road Trips it home, trolls his friend into going to work...and staying at work late to at least 7:30 at night on Valentines day, and then has the truck puke chocolate milkshake out of the rad. Finnegan and Newburn are special lads, very special lads.
I think Finnegan's wife enjoys the peace and quiet whilst also having some guilt points on Mike to call in for when she goes out and buys a 6-door Ford F800 or whatever she's into.
The part when neubern is laying in the truck and he said "I'm soaking wet, my pants are wet, my socks are wet and both my jackets are wet" was my favorite part. That to me is his famous line.
I feel better after seeing this video, two days ago I picked up my 1996 F800 box truck with a 6.9 cummins from getting inspected, it passed but I was told the turbo was leaking oil and there was a risk of having a runaway engine. After getting the estimate I decided to order one online and do the work myself, the estimate $3,800 was $1,300 more that I paid for the truck a year and a half ago. I can't complain too much, it has 292,000 miles on it and still running decent. The 5.9 is absolutely no powerhouse but it will eventually get where its going, at least most of the time :(
My F700 has the same Cummins, and I love it. It's my errand runner, just because I like to drive it. I get 24 mpg on the interstate with it. Had a F250 dually long bed on it for several years, now it's a flat bed. So stinking reliable!
13:19 My prediction.... Coolant issues - core plug on the back of the block hidden by the flywheel housing. It'll look like a cracked block until you get it apart. 50 cent part - big headache to fit it!
Or normal for a very small motor in a big truck towing a 5th wheel. I'm betting the pump was turned up. Regardless, it is far better to replace mechanical parts than having to fix rust / bodywork / paint.
I love you guys. It's never a dull moment and it's always full of fun.we all know when you buy these things are going to break down but it's still fun to watch every time you buy something used on wheels it's going to cost you money and a few trips along the way just to get the damn thing home I've gone through this over 20 different times.

Man, y’all get all the bad ass haulers . This would be $80k in Australia and require a HR truck license . Most F250’s come with a de rated GVM here so you can drive them on a car license .
Had me laughin pretty good towards the end when you were on the phone with the tow service lady . haha "gonna need a pretty decent sized flatbed for this"
No one was seriously expecting a 22yr old stretched F800 to go 900mi without a hitch(;-), of course. Therein lay the charm of the channel. That lingering, insidious mixed blessing of RoadKill...

hats off to these guys for being in such a good mood after being stranded in a semi with snowy weather. personally, it wouldve been hard for me not to put a couple of dents into it lol
I feel ya man. 20 years ago I drove cross country in a 1986 Dodge 250 Pickup. 2WD with a 318 and 2 barrel carb. It was the 2nd week of January and the engine died on I-80 just before the Welcome to Wyoming sign. No cell phone so we flagged a semi for a ride into Evanston to call a tow truck. My passenger was my then fiance, now wife of almost 20 years. We still laugh about stopping to "look at the stars" at the top of the pass.
Our 85 Ford IDI diesel van has been taking us cross country for years without drama, including towing cars over mountains! Some have more of the luck of the Irish than others! But less drama and viewers!

They should go for broke, the big brother, the 855.
Man, y’all get all the bad ass haulers . This would be $80k in Australia and require a HR truck license . Most F250’s come with a de rated GVM here so you can drive them on a car license .
Ya'll have some of the most miserably fun looking adventures!
Had me laughin pretty good towards the end when you were on the phone with the tow service lady . haha "gonna need a pretty decent sized flatbed for this"
when the tow truck is smaller than the vehicle being towed....LOL
😂😂😂😂
"Yeah, my stock, 30k mile, 12 valve blew up and I need a tow!" Had me dying
No one was seriously expecting a 22yr old stretched F800 to go 900mi without a hitch(;-), of course. Therein lay the charm of the channel. That lingering, insidious mixed blessing of RoadKill...
She said "Uh Oh" because F-800 wasn't listed in her drop down menu system is my guess.
Meanwhile on Saturday morning, Cotten is like WTF where's this package at ? 🤔🙄😳
Well you're a proper youtuber now, complete with an ad we've all heard 50 million times.
LOLz that's how you can tell it was a particularly Expensive break in the video LOL Tow bill from Missouri, OUCH
Yeah, that "Uh oh" was rather ominous from the Roadside Service lady...
This was perfect, thank you so much for making free content we love to watch!
I cant believe you guys were actually only like 20 minutes away from where I live and your new truck broke down huge fan of your channel
Dudes, the first gears won't be useless when you got that pup owng a loaded two car box with accoutrements. If you don't like using them, star out in, like third or something.
I was half expecting the +2 to be a gear splitter or rear end making it a 10 speed LOL
Pretty crazy to see someone from Florida coming to Iowa to buy a truck that I was checking out on Facebook
"No. It's stock."
"Yours is just a pickup?"
"Yeah... there's no box"
hats off to these guys for being in such a good mood after being stranded in a semi with snowy weather. personally, it wouldve been hard for me not to put a couple of dents into it lol
I feel ya man. 20 years ago I drove cross country in a 1986 Dodge 250 Pickup. 2WD with a 318 and 2 barrel carb. It was the 2nd week of January and the engine died on I-80 just before the Welcome to Wyoming sign. No cell phone so we flagged a semi for a ride into Evanston to call a tow truck. My passenger was my then fiance, now wife of almost 20 years. We still laugh about stopping to "look at the stars" at the top of the pass.
"F800? Uh-oh..." Best breakdown call ever.
Snowy Iowa is a far cry from New Zealand, eh Ian? 😏
You really should make a tilt front clip off a 2019 wrecked f450..update that king of the road
Dru Lessman he should he’s already saving money bc it’s already a 6 dr
Pure class "UH OH" 🤣🤣 you just cant make this comedy up!!
That truck is absolutely beautiful
Our 85 Ford IDI diesel van has been taking us cross country for years without drama, including towing cars over mountains! Some have more of the luck of the Irish than others! But less drama and viewers!
The AAA lady had me rollin.. that was hilarious.."Theres no box"..LOL!!!
“It’s like brand new...” Now where have a I heard that before?
“It’s stock”.. I forgot about the 6 doors. 😂😂😂
ATLANTA airport is sweet i remember walking through that same tunnel a couple winter ago going back home to Illinois the underground walkway was cool as heck
Amazing, simply amazing you fell in love with the visual uniqueness and did not have all the mechanical checked by a professional HD truck shop. You got snookered!
