Actually, that 'fishing lure' is actually polymerized fuel. It's diesel that's come in contact with RTV silicone sealant. The RTV sealant causes the diesel fuel to polymerize into a rubbery thick jell at the point of contact. I recommend checking if your fuel system has had any gaskets installed with silicone sealant on either side of the gasket. If that's the case, then this episode will be a recurring problem.
Isnt that the same as what is common in yachts? Like diesel thats stands still for very long time mixed up with condensate water and bacteria? Seems like the didnt do a very good job with refurbishing the truck. This shouldnt happen to a freshed up motor!
@@deeperlayer how? He's off the clock, and it could have been someone (probably like you) that won't tip anybody for taking time out of their day to help somebody in need. Plus he's a veteran and knows the vehicles. So he wanted to fix it and not let an inexperienced person tear it up worse than it already is.
Hey Matt, a little advice from a trucker. When you stop don’t shut off the truck right away, idle it for about 5 minutes so that the turbo can cool down. If you don’t your turbo will go out a lot sooner

I’m so happy to see that someone stopped to help another in need! Seeing things like that always bring a smile to my face that I can’t control, but I wouldn’t change it!
Matt, that ain't oil-filled diesel, it's offroad diesel. I think you heard him wrong. With offroad diesel, a red dye is added to distinguish it from regular diesel(because it is tax-exempt for good ol farmers like me)
In AUS, I hope someone helps him. 10 hours later, the next few people finally stop. People rarely stop in aus because we.... Well, you know. Unless it is a crash then everyone stops (almost everyone)
Do I see a Shipment of Demolition Ranch SWAG heading to Abel ? AND ...we have the Official name for the new Beast..ABEL. It will be Abel to climb anything, and go anywhere.
Hey Matt, that wasn't a fishing jig, that was fungus/algae that grows in bad fuel. You'll definitely want to get some fuel system treatment for that or you'll be doing injectors next. Just two scents from a heavy equipment mechanic.
Also diesel mechanic. That didn't look like algae/fungus. Algae is more stringy also algae doesn't plug up in fittings like that, it plugs up the filters. The way they pulled it out with a pick it looked to me like something made of rubber(fishing lure).
The curse of the 8.3 Cummins strikes. When you finally get home, check the fuel tank for any other surprises, then look into a locking fuel cap. There are some people that don't like green iron sabotage you. Get tools for the truck, you'll need them.
You gotta name the truck "Abel" only way I can see to fully thank this guy who saved you big time, name the truck Abel pleeeeeeeeeeeese and it will be a good luck good omen for this truck.
Lol, driving a 5-ton for hours at a time. Brings back memories. Also: What luck having an Army mechanic/driver stumble on your broken down 5-ton. Pretty crazy.
I agree people can be shitty. Not too long ago we had someone that found something that was rubber in his tank luckily it never made it to the fuel system
Yeah someone a few years ago did that too my uncle in his own driveway,and shot the windshield with a .22 repeatedly while he was visiting his daughter in Arkansas
Some vet who’s been out of the service for ten years but remembers putting a fishing lure in a five ton fuel tank one day when he was pissed off is like... no fing way.
I hope you gave Able a tip for that amazing help, what a great guy turned around took you to get parts and the helped put it all together for you, wow there isn't many people left in this world like Able
The good part of this trip is it helps identify all the things that are important to change for future intended use. A short trip in better conditions would have left you hanging for future preps. Someone can soften up that suspension for you if you're not going to need the full capability for cargo or towing. The heater cable looked kinked up but can be repaired or replaced. Plus the defroster open/off damper could be fitted with a hard plastic seal to shut off the heat. A good cleaning of the entire fuel system wouldn't hurt just to prevent more junk from clogging injectors, etc. Looks like you need either a larger or an auxiliary air-conditioner because the cab is huge. And you can replace the air wipers with electric ones. Have fun.
so many great people out there , glad he stopped and gave you the assist , you made a friend ,he sure had the right name as he was ABEL to get you moving
Abel is one of those selfless people who help others out of the kindness his heart. Here is a big shout out to him and others like him. Matt send that kind soul some merch.
we've got a lot of friendly folk in Louisiana especially in Baton Rouge. Thank you Able. You did a fine job of representing us. Kind of reminds me of my Texas relatives.
Shame about all the riots police brutality and crazy other shit going off dosent look like a good place to me and dont even get me started on the corruption in your goverment
Abel, that was a really genuinely nice thing for you to have done. Off work, on your way home, going the absolute opposite direction and you spin around to help a fellow man. There need to be more people like you in the world. Even with Abel's help, it's a dang good thing you know mechanics as much as you do, Matt. I foresee one of those storage boxes under the doors being turned into a tool box!. Speaking as a woman, I can tell you that as ticked as your wives may seem, they are more concerned that you get home safely than "on time". Look at it this way, the kids won't know when you are going to get home, so you can pick them up in the truck! I cannot WAIT to see Lincoln's face when he sees, let alone gets into the new truck (if you can call it that? Is tank more appropriate, lol? (btw, I know it's not a tank, so no need to correct me!)). Heather🇨🇦
Hey Matt, my wife and I have been fans of your channel for awhile and we just saw your tungsten video and I thought I saw something familiar, a Habersham County, Georgia tag. It's neat that you visited my hometown and congratulations on the new 5 ton!
Drove many, many 5-tons in the military. They have a "cruise control" on M-925...it's actually a throttle controller with a knob you can pull toward you to increase the revs. We called them cruise controllers, which they aren't, but they kinda sorta work alright when driving on the highway
lol.. The -10 TM says specifically not to use it for that.... I drove an M934 from Bragg to Lewis, about 3500 miles, and you better believe I used the 'cruise control'.. hahaaha
That worm looking thing, looks like the Diesel bug, the whole system needs to be treated and cleaned. It happens with diesel that sits around or from a contaminated source.
Hey Matt, there should be a valve on the side of the block and another on the head with large hoses coming out of them going to the heater core. In the old days we would close them in the summertime just in case the heater control valve leaked a little and kept the heater core warm and the A/C would have to work harder fighting the warm heater core. Also please don't pull off on the side of the Interstate if you are not broke down and can't move, find a ramp. That's a good way to get killed.
So the reason he uses the home oil diesel (red) is so he doesn’t get it confused with gasoline when he’s out helping people. Home oil is the same as car diesel. They just dye it for tax tracking purposes.
Nick Mango no. I’m pretty positive this is not why he has red diesel. If you notice he was in a united rentals work truck. If you don’t know what that is; it’s a company that rents out equipment. Forklifts and cranes and such. Which have Diesel engines which need repaired by this man. And they use red diesel. That’s why he has it on his truck. If you noticed the can was yellow. Yellow is usually diesel. Red is gasoline. 🤔🤔
Even if he was the motorist assistant, it's impossible to get diesel and gasoline mixed up if that's your job. They smell completely different. Him using red diesel to help motorists would be illegal anyways.
I love watching your vids after work before I eat my hot pocket and cry myself to sleep just like my senior DI at Boot Camp PI SC Lyons adapt and overcome you r your own worst enemy take care of that with overwhelming fire power that has gotten me through some tough days I no it's weird but I strive to change my life and have a loving family just like yours so thank you brother it gives me hope even the smallest amount can make HUGE difference again thank you buddy good luck with the Frankenstein deuce deuce
2006-ish mandated ultra-low sulphur fuel, which destabilized diesel and makes it pretty shit other than for immediate use. Especially if you have an older diesel engine.
Can we get a “Thank you Abel” going in the comments!?!? That dude saved the day.
AND he owned a deuce and a half? Y'all really lucked out. Thank you Abel!
Thank you Abel! You da man!

Abel seeing the broken down 5 ton. "My time has come."
He has been waiting for that moment his entire life
Probably repaired them while in the military, so is pretty much the go-to guy when it comes to these machines.
There are no accidents
He trained a lifetime just for that moment ... thank you Abel!!
Come to think of it... “Able”would be a good name for the truck.....

Really looked like RTV to me too

Matt, that ain't oil-filled diesel, it's offroad diesel. I think you heard him wrong. With offroad diesel, a red dye is added to distinguish it from regular diesel(because it is tax-exempt for good ol farmers like me)
“He flipped around and came all the way back here bc he saw a 5 ton truck with its hood up” if that ain’t American idk what is
Yeah well unfortunately thats few and far between nowadays.
Bloody amazing guy
I read your comment as he said this in the vid
Military vehicle owners are a very tight knit community.
In AUS, I hope someone helps him. 10 hours later, the next few people finally stop. People rarely stop in aus because we.... Well, you know. Unless it is a crash then everyone stops (almost everyone)
Abel is THE MAN helping out our boy matt like that after hes off work, good guy.
For Texans, on the way home, crossing our state line feels like getting home. Even if home has a long driveway. Abel was a God send.
Yesss thank the Lord
Indeed
Crossing the border into Texas means you only have 2 days left to get home 😝
I know what you mean, i was in mobile a few days ago and when I crossed the state line and yelled out "YEEEHAWWWWW"
Amen! I remember crossing the TX/LA border coming home from NOLA and we still had a day of driving, but we "were home" and it felt good!
Abel: "Its offroad Diesel"
Matt the turbo diesel conisuer: "Ahhh, Oil field diesel"
Oil filled* is what he said lol
@@carryeveryday910 I think he said oil field.
paulwal222, yeah he definitely did. He must not come in contact with many farms. But oh well. It was still funny
You know lunker was bragging about some new fishing lures.. he and ky ballistics are pretty chummy... all I’m saying
My guess is the truck just named itself. “Able “
To bad the truck ain't able to even get back home without having issue after issue
Brave Able
I was thinking Quinton. Quint is five. Quint is also the captain from Jaws.
because can’t blame the truck for a fishing lure being in the fuel tank.
because yeah that’s wasn’t an issue because the truck itself broke there was a Fishing lire in the fuel line lol you can’t make this up 😂
Vet seen the 5ton with'er hood up nd was like "hold on big girl I'll come fix ya up good"
Abel one of the good hearted, hard working, ill get you out of a jam kind of people we lack in today’s society.
We need more of those people, godspeed !
He was "Able" to make a difference!
i despise you for this pun, but at the same time i love that you did it. I approve and you should keep doing what your doing my dude
There’s an electric windshield wiper conversion for the 5tons.
@Yar Nunya whats the first
Also, I’ve had air-powered wipers in a couple different trucks, and they’ve never been that noisy.
Hope you got that guy's contact and invite him to demo ranch.
Josh B That would be sick
Josh B YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was thinking the same thing
That'd be awesome especially since he said he was/is in the army. Would be cool to see his marksmanship.
You should hook able up with a Bunker/demo ranch swag box,,
he was the perfect guy if there ever was one!
Nope, I am, ( the perfect guy) but I’m taken, 27 years and counting, hmmm 28 years next month
Do I see a Shipment of Demolition Ranch SWAG heading to Abel ? AND ...we have the Official name for the new Beast..ABEL. It will be Abel to climb anything, and go anywhere.

Agreed, Matt better see this.
Hey Matt, that wasn't a fishing jig, that was fungus/algae that grows in bad fuel. You'll definitely want to get some fuel system treatment for that or you'll be doing injectors next. Just two scents from a heavy equipment mechanic.

And as dan said he shows up later. His truck isn’t the same one that showed up with the lights.
Even if he was the motorist assistant, it's impossible to get diesel and gasoline mixed up if that's your job. They smell completely different. Him using red diesel to help motorists would be illegal anyways.
Accelerates: “this is your Captain speaking, we will soon be reentering the atmosphere”
😂 I laughed a little harder than I should at that
What is the song at the beginning
Preparing for my brain to be rattled the entire way 😂
@@AxxLAfriku what's the point here?

Diesel worms are back I thought we got rid of them in the 60's.
2006-ish mandated ultra-low sulphur fuel, which destabilized diesel and makes it pretty shit other than for immediate use. Especially if you have an older diesel engine.
If you didn't stop at home depot you would have missed Able and you'd still be scratching your head on the side of the hwy.
True and that dude is a good person
Bro Able you are the reason America rocks! Being able to have people like you ready and willing to help out is a blessing.
Dude that sold you the 5 ton - He's got some 'splainin' to do. As for Abel, he's gotta come out to Demo Ranch w/ the Reaper and shoot some lead.
Eh stuff happens, that was quite an inconvenience but not horrible.
Yea I'd be pissed especially after he said "not a problem" when Matt asked like 5 times if anything would happen.
Somebody at his first hotel stay probably threw a lure in his tank.
Was he supposed to consult a oracle?
@@jaydunbar7538 Read up on a new purchase like most people
I think you need a “Thank You Abel” shirt made bro
Abel the man, gotta love people like that. Gotta send him some merch.

Thank you!
Lunker's is trying to sabotage you with his Googan baits
that's the first thing I was thinking too as I was watching this! LOL
Lmao 🤣
Beat me to it
Yep.... LUNKER’S fault!
@@theziadragon4322 me too! Noticed after commenting 🤦🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
petition to name the truck "more than Abel" to commemorate the man who helped get it home!
Fact!
Yes
It's so brave
Abel is great name. The truck is Abel to do anything
Hey Matt, you're still running, the shiny side is still up and the greasy side is still down. I'd say things are good.
Thank you Abel! What a great guy!
Someone sabotaged your truck, diesel and rubber don’t mix.
