I feel your back pain, I had a bad motorcycle wreck on July 13 2005 11 surgeries in the first 10 years. 4 L hip surgeries in the first year and half alone, then 4 back surgeries and then the rest. I have a plate and 6 screws in my left hip and 2 long rods in my back with 20 screws. I hope you get better with the back and never need surgery. And nothing runs like a diesel Chevy when it's running right, great video take care and always stay safe.
I trashed my back in Vietnam in 1969. Mines in the S4 S5 area. I have never had surgery Everyone's back injury is different I go to the gym 6 days a week and do a lot of reps with 5 or so machines.. If I do that, and I have for years, my back probably won't bother me. 6 or 7 years ago I had low level annoying pain. I got 2 shots to the lining of the spine. They said they would last 2 to years, but we are way beyond that. You are young. in good shape, and active. You know what is wrong, and you will be able to manage it.
You'd be surprised how many good cars get abandoned by their previous owners over small issues like these and still have decades of life left in them. Great job fixing it man!
Hi man, welcome back..we missed you. Sorry to know about your back, i have the same issue, hot and cold gel packs in the back helps a lot. What made me better is cycling has it makes the muscles around that area stronger. Get better soon and keep pumping those videos out :)
Good to see you back! I can only imagine the pain of a herniated disk *AND* pushing through school at the same time! Hope you're doing well and taking it easy on yourself!
My mom had a herniated disk. I get your pain and discomfort. Take care of yourself don’t get any crazy ideas. She ended up having surgery to fuse the disks together that herniated. But stay somewhat active. And as always, we all enjoy the videos!!!
I herniated a disc in my back with terrible sciatica when I was 19. Took over a year to heal, but what I found was doing physical exercise that reduced the pain and drinking tons of water seemed to help. All of a sudden it just stopped hurting one day. 9 years later without any other real issues. Hang in there. Stay moving and hydrated and you'll get better. Also recommend using an inversion table.
Very good fix on the cheap ! Hate to hear about your back issue . You’re very young to so it should heal . But you have to change how you do things . I’m 48 , when I was 46 my MRI revealed my L4/L5 was tore and herniated . Took 9 months of therapy and training to get back to almost normal but I’ve had to change how I do things . I still have an occasional bad day that humbles me
Sorry to hear about your back. I do hope you get better and keep an eye on it. You're young and i'd hate for you to suffer through that for the rest of your life. Nip it correctly now!
And that back injury is nothing to play with. Had back surgery a couple months ago from a auto herniated disc. I'm just now getting to where I can move. Brother, take care of yourself. Back surgery is no joke. Good deal on that tractor. The luck of finding good deal seems to constantly find you. I got to say I like that blue obs with the camper shell the best. God bless
Sad to hear about your back. Fortunately it will heal because u r young however you can not aggravate it and it will take time and a lot of patience (no pun intended) GOOD LUCK 👍
Welcome back! Glad to see that you are posting again. Very sorry to hear about your disk problems. Here's hoping that you feel better soon. Take care & enjoy Spring in VT!
I was about your age when i had back surgery to address 2 herniated disks (L5 S1). I found swimming played a huge part to my recovery. Best wishes to your recovery, be patient you'll get there.
Welcome back. I too had a herniated disc from doing leg presses. Took over a year for it to heal. Make sure you do some stretching, cobra poses, and make sure you keep exercising. Hanging from a bar while (something like a pull up bar) while letting your legs hang is helpful, it opens up the disc allowing the herniation to get "sucked" back in. It'll take time but you will heal, but always be careful in the future since it is prone to happen again if stressed.
Sorry to hear about your back. I have a partial herniated disc. Best thing for it a heated mattress pad. Turn it on low at night. That heat helps. Do stretch’s and exercise your back also. Truck sounding good.
Q-man! Great to see new content. The car channels were getting boring. Just started watching, hope you get the rod knock fixed. I guess I'll 4:24 find out soon! *just saw your health update. Take it easy. Back issues are no joke.
Glad you got that classic diesel engine fixed on this classic bow tie. Hopefully you will get to feeling better and the numbness will go away in your foot and calf
Sorry about your back dude! I'm forty, I was a diesel mechanic, and herniated a disc up between my shoulder blades when I was 33. Had a couple years of weird sensations, felt like someone was pouring hot tub temp water over my left shoulder randomly, and like bugs crawling over that shoulder and arm. But 7 years out, I can still do most of the stuff I did then, I'm just a little more careful about it, and I use the air tools more than I did, I used to just herk stuff off cause I'm a big guy, but now I let the machines do it for me more, hah. Still a bummer to hear, man. I predict that you will develop the ability to spot all the other people walking around in town who have bad backs, just from the way that walk, hah, it's like a super power you get when you hurt your back.
Hey bud! Ive owned several GM 6.5s. Source of that leak probably the O ring on your fuel filter manager very common Then again i see you fixed it before the end 😅
Hey boss I'm a chiropractor. Your disc herniation can most likely be helped by a chiro provider that does Cox Flexion Distraction. Look into it. You should see a significant reduction in pain and symptoms within 4-6 weeks (usually around 50%). Herniations sound scary but they're very common and very treatable by a chiropractor who has an F&D table. Hope this helps.
And for legal purposes this is NOT medical advice. I'd need a full examination to provide that. This is just pointing a friend to resources to look into.
I had sciatica that seemed like it lasted for a long time and also had a lower back injury from an accident. After about a year it healed up and I haven’t had a problem since and it’s been 7 years so there is hope.
Damn dude you’re ripped!! I don’t want to make worse what you’re going through but 20 years ago I had a bad car accident which left me with five herniated disks and cracked vertebrae (don’t know how I didn’t end up paralyzed) but the pain is horrible and my doctor told me with the years it would turn into arthritis. And yea it’s been hell but exercise helps a lot.
Sorry to hear about your herniated disc man I know the pain. I’ve got an umbilical hernia that I’m getting surgery for in a couple weeks which will put me out of work for about 6 months as well. It sucks and I’ve been putting it off for a while because of school but I just can’t deal with the pain and discomfort anymore.
I understand the back pain. I was about your age and I had horrible back pain for over a year. 4 herniated discs. Biking, swimming, and rehab/stretching can help.
Oof that sucks about the back man, I got into a car wreck in november 2021 and I now have 3 herniated discs in my neck and 4 bulging discs in my neck/upper back. It took my probably a year to be able to do anything, couldnt lift, couldnt run, couldnt sit, couldnt sleep, couldnt stand. I'm finally in a spot where I'm not in pain 24/7. So I know the struggle, shit sucks especially being young. I'm very nervous about what things will look like when im old
I’m living with a similar lower back issue (except my left foot got numb) confirmed w/ MRI. I was able to avoid surgery & shots however was sent to physical therapy and learned some basic yoga stretches (child’s pose, knees-to-chest, figure-4 are my staples) that I now do religiously (twice per day) even when I’m not experiencing any symptoms. They knock flare-ups right down. Hope that helps!
As always you figure out the problem and fix it. Well done. Also, congrats on the body transformation. Have you consulted a Chiropractor for your back? They really can help. Glad you're back. Take care.
I am glad that you got your truck going and that it was not a major problem. I hope that you have Diesel Fuel in that and not "gas" LOL.. I have been there a couple of times with herniated disc in my back. I also was taking steroids and then it was just a matter of time before it was healed. Definitely take it easy with the lifting and no bulling and jamming , but do keep active. I think that you will be fine. Wishing you all the very best! 👍
Great to see you back, RV! Take care of that back, you'll be okay. Been there, done that, and yes, it can be healed. You are looking RIPPED!!!! Good for you. Been watching you for years and so proud of you!!! YOU are what we need more of today in America. Not the half-man, half-woman mutants of the 'woke' crowd. Keep up the good work, RV!
Every year from Vermont have you ever heard of Brattleboro Vermont right on the border of Massachusetts and it's right on the border of New Hampshire actually ?
Just before he is done trying that first start I almost see a spark or electrical ark pop out of the passenger side front wheel well? Maybe it was the camera angle or glitch.
I was also having the no start issue on my 6.5 and there was the slightest leak in a line. After replacing all the lines, glow plugs and glow plug relay, now it starts and drives fine but once you drive it and the engine gets warm, it won't start unless the engine has gotten cold again. Do you know what may be the issue?
The only reason why this Chevy has a rod knock is from not changing motor oil for so long and coolant leakage from failed lower intake gaskets and or potentially a cracked cylinder head
Someone has been in the gym. Hard work paying off.
It’s because he got beat up and a black eye while on spring break.
@@chrispatrick2923 Are you sure? I figured he just got drunk and fell down.
@@ssz28envythat would almost never result in a black eye
First thing a saw 😂

Sorry to hear about your health problems. Good to see it’s not letting you stop getting things done 👍💪
You'd be surprised how many good cars get abandoned by their previous owners over small issues like these and still have decades of life left in them. Great job fixing it man!
Exactly
So sorry to hear about the herniated disk. I hope you get better soon! Best wishes for the 6 month recovery
Good to see you posting again. Looks like you been working out

@Sound Recordings lmao 😂
He is looking really fine in the intro............
So pleased to see a new video! Hope your back injury heals soon! Pain anywhere sucks!
Started hitting them gym after you got beat up at spring break lol. I guess that black eye was the final straw.
😂
I've started watching this channel when Little Vermonter was just a wee kid.. Our boy is becoming a man in front of our very eyes. 💪💪 😂😂
Hi man, welcome back..we missed you. Sorry to know about your back, i have the same issue, hot and cold gel packs in the back helps a lot. What made me better is cycling has it makes the muscles around that area stronger. Get better soon and keep pumping those videos out :)
Thanks, I actually am trying to get cycling! Leg isn’t work well enough to do it yet but soon
Good to see you back! I can only imagine the pain of a herniated disk *AND* pushing through school at the same time!
Hope you're doing well and taking it easy on yourself!

Using a belt to loosen an oil filter is pure Northern New England and awesome.
Welcome back. I feel your pain. I have 3 herniated disc's.😢 👍 👍

Toad returns!
Hope this summer is kind to your back. Wishing you a full recovery!

All right, one of my favorite UA-camrs
Someone has been hitting the gym lately. Hope you recover from the back issue quickly!
Hey bud! Ive owned several GM 6.5s.
Source of that leak probably the O ring on your fuel filter manager very common
Then again i see you fixed it before the end 😅
Lol 😊

So sorry to hear about your back! You seem to be in a good mindset which is great! Great video and cant wait for the next! Thanks
You have good taste in trucks. Nice video!
I’m really glad to see you’re back, I like your videos a lot.
I had sciatica that seemed like it lasted for a long time and also had a lower back injury from an accident. After about a year it healed up and I haven’t had a problem since and it’s been 7 years so there is hope.
can we just acknowledge the utter disrespect for that stop sign
Damn dude you’re ripped!!

Nice easy fix, good old GM - 300k miles and it still purrs like a kitten!
Sorry about your back, I hope you heal fast!
I understand the back pain. I was about your age and I had horrible back pain for over a year. 4 herniated discs.
Biking, swimming, and rehab/stretching can help.
Oh man can’t imagine having 4 herniated

Youll be good to go in no time and looks like youve been hitting the gym getting those gains

K2500 was easy fix after fine detective work! Don't be a hero with health issue, follow Dr's orders EXACTLY for quick recovery.

Great job dude!!
Get well soon son in the name of Jesus 🙏.. greetings from California...🇺🇲

Just before he is done trying that first start I almost see a spark or electrical ark pop out of the passenger side front wheel well? Maybe it was the camera angle or glitch.
It sound fuel related fresh fuel and an an additive to see if you can free up injectors is a cheap start. And an oil change wit additives.
I remember when you first got the green truck when it was stock non dually regular bed conversion and the awesome redneck work hole pit you made!👍💗
Best cure for a weak back is strong front. Get on those crunches and leg-lifts!
2 👍👍 up bro stay safe out there 🤞🥾🇺🇸🍀
I’m dealing with all those same health issues right now and my employment is driving a box truck for 10-14 hours a day
I’m watching this video and currently can’t feel the left side (outside) of my left foot or heal but can feel the inner side of my left leg and foot
DDPY yoga for your back
Keep it!
I was also having the no start issue on my 6.5 and there was the slightest leak in a line.

your videos is amazing
The only reason why this Chevy has a rod knock is from not changing motor oil for so long and coolant leakage from failed lower intake gaskets and or potentially a cracked cylinder head
Could be spark plugs still could be a number of things
God Bless get well soon

What the crap!?!?!? Lolz guy hit a growth spurt 😊
Sorry about your back. Chronic back pain and Sciatica sucks.
The engine still sounds like its running strong
