@@whattherust when you have got the old engine oil out, I would have flushed the engine through with diesel oil with the sump bolt in, let it stand overnight and drain it of diesel oil by removing the drain plug of course
I'm amazed at your determination to make these old pieces of history come back to life. A great lesson in sticking to a commitment. I bet you there are people motivated to tackle a long lost project. I'm 73 years old, and just finished a 87 Diplomat that had sat for about 12 years, but she's back, driving daily. Thanks for the memories.
That’s a win Richard, good job myself friend! It runs because you never quit my friend, you’re a great mechanic brother and thanks Christine! Y’all are awesome people, Kirk from Louisiana and I’m always enjoying your content friends! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I really enjoyed this video. I would never have believed that engine would run so well. Strictly as a personal preference I would put in a small V8 because it would not poke thru the floor and you could clean up the firewall. This is a really good truck and should be back on the road 👍🤗🎩
Thank you for the nice comment. I am going to do my best to get it back on the road. Time will tell. It is very rough, and it appears that the slant six conversion was never finished. I'll see if I can finish it.
I can't believe that after looking under that valve cover, that the engine ran with that little bit of effort . Nice Job! 😊👍Those slant sixes are great engines. I've had several over the years. Also, I noticed from some of you're camera footage that it looks like several of the front leafs in the front springs are broken. I enjoyed this video and I don't think it was to long. Heck, I wish I could be there to help you! 😊👍 Looking forward to more! Cheers! Wes, in Oregon .
This was a great video!! Along with the others, I doubted this engine would EVER run, but glad to see it did!! And keep the long vids, I like to be able to see from “start to finish” as it were…
Simply amazing. When that valve cover came off I thought it was game over. Did not think you’d ever get that running as easily as you did. Great job guys! Perseverance and elbow grease pays off. Hopefully there’s a new future for this ‘ol truck. 🙂
Thanks! When I saw the rust under the valve cover, I didn't think I would be able to unseize the engine. When the engine freed up, I was pretty sure I would get it running, since the spark plugs looked so good.
Yea i beleave there is more here than we have gotten to see .that head valves and cylinders had to be atleast cleaned before it started The d*** rocker arms were frozen in place
1:14:42 Unbelieveable! My friend, this is absolutely the best will it run type video I've ever seen. First glace I saw of it with the valve cover off I thought this one was a goner, but was I wrong. Slant 6 engines are one of Mopar's most durable engines they've put out but getting her running is 100% due to your willpower, knowledge and effort. Well done!
I have to agree with BrodieBrO, I didn't think there was any way yall would get that slant 6 to turn over, let alone fire up and run. Best Will it Run I have ever seen. And I do like the longer video. You are just an old engine whisperer. Can't hardly wait till the next one. Nuff Said.
@@otherwiseunarmed4187 No one said that it was the original engine for the truck. 👍🏽But thanks so much for commenting, It appears that when this channel changed it's name UA-cam unsubscribed me. Fixed that. I got a bunch of great videos to get caught up on now!
Not too long at all! In a million years, never would i have expected that engine to run...as much rust was under that valve cover, I would have thrown in the towel. In my honest opinion, I think this video should be shown to others who may have given up too quick. With enough time and patience, just about any engine can be freed and started. The only things that would have prevented it from going was either a thrown rod or broken crankshaft, but otherwise, they'll start if you just keep persevering. Thanks for sharing! Wow, that was one for the books! 😎
Absolutely right David. When the engine freed up, I was a lot more confident the engine would run. The only thing that might have stopped me was no compression, but the plugs looked too good to have much rust in the cylinders.
Love the video brother and no I love the longer ones because it shows everything even the mess ups !!!! It shows your a real good mechanic love these I look forward to all your videos
You didn't have to tell us you were from up north. I had a friend in the marines you remind me of that was from NJ. I love to see these old vehicles come to life again! I bought an old dodge 3 spd w a slant 6 running from the junk yard. I called it Barney since it was purple. It slung a rod and I junked it. Everybody said those old slant 6's were awesome motors.
man this is great man ..slant six is the best ,, i had many . and the body falls . off before the motor dies , thats for shur nice to see you bro helping you to ..lol, ,i love the 6 ,,,and super 6 ..love to see this cleaned up.. o yo ....toronto canada
22:59 Seeing that engine would have been a deal breaker for me. I would have started looking for a decent engine that would actually fit in the engine bay. It's not like that Slant 6 boat anchor was original to the truck/ I like a challenge but that rusted lump is the Mt. Everest of challenges. Truly an amazing revival. My hat's off to you!
Fantastic job!!! This was very cool, love the truck. You definitely put a lot of effort into this truck but seeing your smile is always worth it in the end. Congratulations 🎉🎉
My guess is that the first slant 6 came from the Dart that donated the gauge cluster and master cylinder setup. The current slant 6 came later but they kept the parts from the first one - and that’s where the points distributor came from.
It's incredible that the engine ran that well after the top end looked that bad! I was very surprised to see how good the plugs looked compared to what it looked like under the valve cover. Nice work!
That was very satisfying, I love seeing an old truck being brought back to life, what an effort to get that engine going again, it looked like a write off!
I realize that the inline sixes were the go-to engine of the 20's through the late 40's for the commercial trucks (and still are in diesel form obviously), but this Slant six is completely shot. I understand that you have to give it a shot, but I'd yank that thing out and swap in a 318 with domed high compression pistons, some shaved and ported 360LA heads, and a large single carb with an A833 four speed manual. 318s can always be had for cheap, but it's tough to find one that's in decent shape, and even harder to find them as a LA engine and not a Magnum nowadays, unless you find a salvage yard that specializes in old school domestic sheet metal. Still, I think it'd be worth it after repairing some random sheet metal in the floors and doors. I seriously LOVE old school domestic cars.
I have driven (Dodge pickups) with slant sixes, and standard (stick) transmissions). You won't win races BUT, they never left me standing at the side of the road.
If you have any plastic teeth stuck in the cam gear from the old plastic distributor gear that will also stop you from turning if you have plastic teeth jammed between the 2 Gears
Also Pargue found oil filter spray with high quality pentriotion fluid clean up with engine oil after before put use grease on thread nut for oil squirts in to oil filter and put anti seized or grease on oil filter thread hole plus Rubber O ring screw on and off 3 times then 4 tight up ! Do that to any oil filter anytime on any Oil filter plus Desiel filters to never seize up unless go old oil in engine then more 5 years or longer too ! Bet do this even regularly matinne vechile help out and small engines use filters to help too plus drain plug of any fluids like oil pan too ! Video take long need time make video Pargue :) think best bet and long help misses out parts too! Amazing how that truck motor live after seized too and hope see more videos too on some time post on UA-cam videos too!
Length doesn't bother me in the least. As Ken Reid said, it's much better than having to wait for parts 2, 3....ad nauseum. Great to see the old truck coming back to life. Maybe you'll get lucky and can find a correct instrument cluster to finish the interior with.
Very satisfying to see. I thought you were a nut working on it after the valve cover came off. Kudus to you. I subscribed. Thank you from Alaska, I’ve got about 50 classics up here I’m messing with too.

Congrats! Both of you as well as the videographer hung in there 'til it started. Don't mind a long vid, because I wanted to stick around 'til it fired up
I hate to say I skipped the Dodge video for weeks its a Dodge truck, What the heck. But this was awesome, Matt there too was great. Best video i have seen in ages. You are nuts: to take Slant six #1, pull the valve cover and see all that rust #2 then check the plugs and be encouraged #3 and drain all the water out #4, then drain the pan and see all the crap #5 then put Matts used oil in and see more water come out #6 then soak the rocker arm assembly and THINK it will free up #7, Spray and hit the valves to see them free up #8 Pull out a push rod, its not bent, #9 then put the push rod back in and it backfires #10 Crank and Crank and Crank #11 then the damn thing is as crazy as you IT FIRES UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #12. No one but you would decide you like the grill so lets accept the Tower of Power hole in the firewall and think such a stuck rusty motor woul dever run again with out a complete rebuild and bunch of new parts. Its CRAZY but it runs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am flabbergast. Amazing, all of it. Thank You Crazy Fool, Dennis in VA
Id break that old seized distributor apart and make me an oil pump prime or an old screw driver something to run with a cordless drill prome up the pump
hi there mate i just had to watch this again i was gob smacked when she roard into life totaly awesome job i swore a couple of times she started running just the best great work all the best to family
Fantastic work, my first car was a plymouth slant six paid twenty dollars Australian. Big black mobile, 16 or 17lnch rims. That was in 1971, I was 17yo. Love to still own the car. You're building a terrific channel, very entertaining. Best Wishes from Sydney, Australia 👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺😄😄🙏🙏
Hi Ron! I think we all have that one car we'd hoped we kept. Funny how completely different things seem with age. Thanks for watching! We appreciate you 🙏
My family had a 1949 Dodge Truck and that truck was old and slow but it was built tough. I would most defiantly LIKE to See more of your Dodge Truck cleaned up and running and driving. Great Video!
Just goes to prove.....you cannot kill a slant-6! I tried to kill one when I was much younger in a 71 Dodge Dart. Nope. One thing on the cooling system....the real test will come once there is pressure and REAL heat in the cooling system! Until then, you have no idea if there is a cracked block, head, bad head gasket, etc. Complete the cooling system with radiator and hoses, and a fan and belt, of course, run it till you have maybe 15 PSI of pressure, then you will know. Good luck, man! Those old Dodge trucks are rare, especially in one-ton format! Cool find!
I can't figure out why this truck was so hacked up.. emblems removed, speedo removed and replaced with a Dodge Dart unit..etc.. If you make a 50-50 mix of ATF and Acetone, it's better than PB Blaster and it's dirt cheap to make.. I hope you do some more videos on the truck, it's definitely a cool project...That would look so cool with an old school hemi in it.. very cool acquisition...What part of Tn are u located? I'm in the N.E. corner of the state... Well take care my friend and God Bless you and your family...
Thanks for the comment. I never did figure out why the truck was half disassembled. It seems like someone performed the engine swap, started on the wiring, and then just quit. I am Nashville.
Unbelievable is right. Great job. This looked like a lost cause but you did it right by not giving up on her. Length of video was great. Like the longer videos to see what you do!
Ya know, I like the fact you use primarily hand tools to work on these things. Not all of us have the luxury of power tools. Lol. Very rarely I'd use electric or air tools. Hand tools is how my dad did everything and it seemed to work. That is a really cool truck. Such a shame they did away with the slant 6 in 1983 in cars, 1987 in trucks, and 1991 in production equipment. The fact is they were too good and companies were losing money because slant 6's rarely needed work. I was fully waiting to see a straight 8 or at least a 6 in there. Someone sure wanted to keep that truck going. And that 853 I think is just some aftermarket sticker. I've seen many slant 6's and none had that number on it. As soon as that valve cover came off I said OMG! never seen rust like that.
Amazing my 74 Dodge Dart slant 6 ran forever You really can’t kill those motors They don’t like moisture though I always drove with some WD40 to spray the wires and extra ballst resistors But they always ran Fantastic job and very enjoyable video I love that truck and would love to have one myself I bet when it cleans up and get a mexican blanket on that seat it’s gonna be a super daily parts bomber Love the thing Fantastic fantastic
I had a 1949 dodge b1b. I paid $500 and did a lot to it and loved every minute. 5 window cab. I live in Dayton Ohio and there is a scrap yard, Starks, which had only old Mopar. I had a parts catalog and repair manual from I believe was Mitchell motors. only Mopar!!! check the new jersey area for them they have it all. New and used parts they also have a yard in the south ,I believe north Carolina, not sure . I could go on and on . Good luck. converted when I rewired to 12 volt the cold weather was to hard for the 6 volt to crank.
I never believed that this engine would ever run again. You guys are amazing, I hate to suggest this after all your hard work on the engine, but I think I’d trash the slant 6 and install a small V8. That can be a really cool cruiser, but would be far better with a V8, plus you could close up the hole that somebody cut in the firewall to accommodate the slant 6.
From experience I can say that those old "slant sixes" were "bulldogs". Ya just couldn't kill 'em. Good old motors. Boy, they just don't make 'em like that any more.
Incredible job getting the slanty going! That was a tough one. I had one engine that was like that, but it wasn't submerged. It was a 440 in a car that had a spun rod bearing and needed to be rebuilt but it had run. I parked it outside for 2 years waiting to rebuild it and it was up North (NY) so there were seasonal temperature swings. I might have tried to turn it over which was a mistake. (Milkshake oil) When I drained the oil I found there was over a gallon of water in the crankcase that had settled to the bottom of the oil pan. The valve covers and valve train weren't as bad as yours but there were areas where it had started to rust. The cylinders however were perfect. Little bit on the combustion chamber. It was mostly all limited to the crankcase. The car was parked where it would catch the sun during the day and cool off at night. When I tore the engine down and took it to the machine shop the machinist said that it 'rains' inside an engine when it's outside and you get extremes in temp like that, basically condensation over and over. That was in the '80's and I never experienced that again, but I never had a car directly outside where it was exposed like that. It was over dirt and subjected to more radical temp swings. I did have and did buy some cars that were outside a while buy they were more 'temperature stabilized' gentle temp swings. It sure was weird. I think it was just the right conditions of humidity and temperature.
Why not use ATF to Free up the motor JS God bless from Canada eh nice Mopar mean old Plymouth's are rad! Good luck you have a long road but it will be worth it you don't see to many around good engine I think I would start looking around at all the scrap metal places and see if you could find another one so between the two you would have one good one!
Just had my first visit to your channel. Great work. Just like Ken below, I like them longer. If it is too long I can just watch it in segments. It also seemed to stop smoking once the oil all burned out of the cylinders.
half of the time I was screaming at the video to junk the engine and give us a video about how fast you could swap another one in its place. Think your brother felt the same. Then you pull this magic out of your hat, bravo, I wanna come be a helper , bravo.

Slant 6s aren't boat anchors unlike say a 305 chevy. You can't kill them and with some boost they can make entirely too much power.
I owned a plant six a long time ago and it's a very tough engine
Not too long because it was kept interesting and always moving right along. The running at the end was very cool and worth the wait! Good job!

I love that man I love watching you guys do this I wish I could do it I can't do it anymore I'm on disability now

You are nuts: to take Slant six #1, pull the valve cover and see all that rust #2 then check the plugs and be encouraged #3 and drain all the water out #4, then drain the pan and see all the crap #5 then put Matts used oil in and see more water come out #6 then soak the rocker arm assembly and THINK it will free up #7, Spray and hit the valves to see them free up #8 Pull out a push rod, its not bent, #9 then put the push rod back in and it backfires #10 Crank and Crank and Crank #11 then the damn thing is as crazy as you IT FIRES UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #12. No one but you would decide you like the grill so lets accept the Tower of Power hole in the firewall and think such a stuck rusty motor woul dever run again with out a complete rebuild and bunch of new parts. Its CRAZY but it runs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am flabbergast. Amazing, all of it. Thank You Crazy Fool, Dennis in VA
Well Dennis, that is the best comment ever! That you for taking the time to write it, and thank you for the support my friend. Made my day.
I'm looking forward to this adventure 😄 ❕️❕️
Exelent work, that engine sound happy now, like you saved its life.😂
Id break that old seized distributor apart and make me an oil pump prime or an old screw driver something to run with a cordless drill prome up the pump
Lov it, good work, didn't think you'd get it runnin. Looking forward to more.

Thanks!
Those slant six engines were always a little weird to me. My Dad had a 1968 Dodge with one and a three speed trans.
Have I ever bought a vehicle sight-unseen? No, but I did go on a few blind dates.
Mr Richard Allen trash that motor get you another motor 6 cylinder that is garbage man
Old truck dodge 💪👍👏🙏❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great video!
It was not too long at all. It was fascinating from start to finish!
Congratulations and great job!

Glad you liked it!
Thanks Matt,
Central California watching
Hello from Nashville!
I flushed out wit kerosene worked amazing cleaned whole pan out
Typical Dodge 225 slant 6. Like the Toyota 22R they are hard to kill.
hi there mate i just had to watch this again i was gob smacked when she roard into life totaly awesome job i swore a couple of times she started running just the best great work all the best to family
That is not Good to see that you will half to get new heads i hope you can find replacemet heads Richard
Fantastic can't believe you guys got it unstuck and successful running, l enjoyed watching your video. Has to be best one so far.
Thanks! I enjoyed making this one quite a bit.
Nice job, probably still some water lurking in there til it burns off. Probably going to take a few oil changes to get the gunk out.
Right. I'll be changing the oil again before it runs again.
You have hands of gold This is one of your best videos keep up the good work
Thanks Joe! Much appreciated!
Fantastic work, my first car was a plymouth slant six paid twenty dollars Australian. Big black mobile, 16 or 17lnch rims. That was in 1971, I was 17yo. Love to still own the car. You're building a terrific channel, very entertaining. Best Wishes from Sydney, Australia 👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺😄😄🙏🙏
Hi Ron! I think we all have that one car we'd hoped we kept. Funny how completely different things seem with age. Thanks for watching! We appreciate you 🙏
Suggest you get a five gallons bucket of E vapo rust product to sink all rusty parts in it.
Love all that vintage stamped steel... American steel baby..
My family had a 1949 Dodge Truck and that truck was old and slow but it was built tough. I would most defiantly LIKE to See more of your Dodge Truck cleaned up and running and driving. Great Video!
Thank you. I am also working on a 1950 that is almost ready to drive out of the shed it has been in for decades.
Just goes to prove.....you cannot kill a slant-6! I tried to kill one when I was much younger in a 71 Dodge Dart. Nope. One thing on the cooling system....the real test will come once there is pressure and REAL heat in the cooling system! Until then, you have no idea if there is a cracked block, head, bad head gasket, etc. Complete the cooling system with radiator and hoses, and a fan and belt, of course, run it till you have maybe 15 PSI of pressure, then you will know. Good luck, man! Those old Dodge trucks are rare, especially in one-ton format! Cool find!
Yes, quite true. I need to find a radiator that fits. Then I'll be able to run it long enough to really know how strong the engine is.
I can't figure out why this truck was so hacked up.. emblems removed, speedo removed and replaced with a Dodge Dart unit..etc.. If you make a 50-50 mix of ATF and Acetone, it's better than PB Blaster and it's dirt cheap to make.. I hope you do some more videos on the truck, it's definitely a cool project...That would look so cool with an old school hemi in it.. very cool acquisition...What part of Tn are u located? I'm in the N.E. corner of the state... Well take care my friend and God Bless you and your family...
Thanks for the comment. I never did figure out why the truck was half disassembled. It seems like someone performed the engine swap, started on the wiring, and then just quit. I am Nashville.
Unbelievable is right. Great job. This looked like a lost cause but you did it right by not giving up on her. Length of video was great. Like the longer videos to see what you do!
Thank you, and thanks for the feedback. I'll continue to show the details.
you guys wan me over with this one!, Keep it up! cheers from South FL
Ya know, I like the fact you use primarily hand tools to work on these things. Not all of us have the luxury of power tools. Lol. Very rarely I'd use electric or air tools. Hand tools is how my dad did everything and it seemed to work. That is a really cool truck. Such a shame they did away with the slant 6 in 1983 in cars, 1987 in trucks, and 1991 in production equipment. The fact is they were too good and companies were losing money because slant 6's rarely needed work. I was fully waiting to see a straight 8 or at least a 6 in there. Someone sure wanted to keep that truck going. And that 853 I think is just some aftermarket sticker. I've seen many slant 6's and none had that number on it. As soon as that valve cover came off I said OMG! never seen rust like that.
Thanks Michael! One of the comments stated that the 853 sticker might have been from a junkyard. Maybe so. Thank you for watching!
you have your work cut out for you with this one mate i will comment again later if she runs best of luck
It was a very good video I liked it very much I like working on cars as well.
Amazing my 74 Dodge Dart slant 6 ran forever You really can’t kill those motors They don’t like moisture though I always drove with some WD40 to spray the wires and extra ballst resistors But they always ran Fantastic job and very enjoyable video I love that truck and would love to have one myself I bet when it cleans up and get a mexican blanket on that seat it’s gonna be a super daily parts bomber Love the thing Fantastic fantastic
Thanks for the support Erik.
I had a 1949 dodge b1b. I paid $500 and did a lot to it and loved every minute. 5 window cab. I live in Dayton Ohio and there is a scrap yard, Starks, which had only old Mopar. I had a parts catalog and repair manual from I believe was Mitchell motors. only Mopar!!! check the new jersey area for them they have it all. New and used parts they also have a yard in the south ,I believe north Carolina, not sure . I could go on and on . Good luck. converted when I rewired to 12 volt the cold weather was to hard for the 6 volt to crank.
That is great info Karen. Thank you.
Great job , enjoy your videos
Thank you Roy! More to come.
Great Video Not too long at all enjoyed every minute of it Thumbs Up Guys
Thanks for the feedback Dave!
looks like someone was trying to build a RatRod out of this truck.
I never believed that this engine would ever run again. You guys are amazing, I hate to suggest this after all your hard work on the engine, but I think I’d trash the slant 6 and install a small V8. That can be a really cool cruiser, but would be far better with a V8, plus you could close up the hole that somebody cut in the firewall to accommodate the slant 6.
Thanks! A V8 would be nice, but now I am hooked on this slant six.
From experience I can say that those old "slant sixes" were "bulldogs". Ya just couldn't kill 'em. Good old motors. Boy, they just don't make 'em like that any more.
I am a huge fan of these engines now. I was so impressed.
Love the long video
Videos can never be to long. I think it makes it more interesting.
Slant 6's rock but I stiff prefer the 272 V8.
Great video thanks for making it. Also the video was not long I didn’t want it to end. Great job.
Thanks Jose! That is a nice comment.
The leaning tower of power are tough engines.
I am convinced of that!
watching here Philippines
Great job on th on this one! Not to long,wish it was a lil longer love your content! Like to see more on this truck.👍👍
Thanks Erica! More to come!
unbelievable you’ve earned my subscription and some .
BROVO
Thank you very much!
Incredible job getting the slanty going! That was a tough one. I had one engine that was like that, but it wasn't submerged. It was a 440 in a car that had a spun rod bearing and needed to be rebuilt but it had run. I parked it outside for 2 years waiting to rebuild it and it was up North (NY) so there were seasonal temperature swings. I might have tried to turn it over which was a mistake. (Milkshake oil) When I drained the oil I found there was over a gallon of water in the crankcase that had settled to the bottom of the oil pan. The valve covers and valve train weren't as bad as yours but there were areas where it had started to rust. The cylinders however were perfect. Little bit on the combustion chamber. It was mostly all limited to the crankcase. The car was parked where it would catch the sun during the day and cool off at night. When I tore the engine down and took it to the machine shop the machinist said that it 'rains' inside an engine when it's outside and you get extremes in temp like that, basically condensation over and over. That was in the '80's and I never experienced that again, but I never had a car directly outside where it was exposed like that. It was over dirt and subjected to more radical temp swings. I did have and did buy some cars that were outside a while buy they were more 'temperature stabilized' gentle temp swings. It sure was weird. I think it was just the right conditions of humidity and temperature.
I think so too, and over the years the condensation can cause big problems.
Why not use ATF to Free up the motor JS God bless from Canada eh nice Mopar mean old Plymouth's are rad! Good luck you have a long road but it will be worth it you don't see to many around good engine I think I would start looking around at all the scrap metal places and see if you could find another one so between the two you would have one good one!
I see people use ATF, but I have had no luck with it. The Mystery oil works almost every time. I have seen it do amazing things.
Hey, it actually comes with a bed in the truck bed. 😁
Just had my first visit to your channel. Great work. Just like Ken below, I like them longer. If it is too long I can just watch it in segments. It also seemed to stop smoking once the oil all burned out of the cylinders.
Thank you Jacque. You're right, once the oil was out of the cylinders it stopped smoking completely.
half of the time I was screaming at the video to junk the engine and give us a video about how fast you could swap another one in its place. Think your brother felt the same. Then you pull this magic out of your hat, bravo, I wanna come be a helper , bravo.
Thanks Rich! It is true, my brother thought I was nuts.
WOW beautiful truck. I think it's a keeper. Video was not too long by any means. Loved it as usual.
Thanks for the feedback!
I really enjoy all of your videos regardless of the duration. Keep up the excellent work. Cheers from California.
Thank you for the support!
Wow, very impressive getting that thing running, considering I’m watching this while struggling to get my weedwacker started!
Thanks Steven. Some weedwackers are more difficult than this truck.
