Moments like that, combined with the problem solving process leading up to them, could possibly have been more highlighted in the video for my taste (but maybe it would be boring to most)(it reminded me of the time I moved my HMMVW about 6 feet sideways in the snow - over 3 full days - using come-alongs and hydraulic jacks mounted to custom sleds haha)(air in fuel lines, didn’t know the fix, but had to move it somehow lol) PS.

Long ago when I was driving an M35A2 with attached communication trailer, we were instructed to NEVER back up using the military pendlehook system, that it was not engineered to deal with that (we also did not have any sort of cap over the hook part) so we always determined clearances so we could drive forward and make u-turns. Looks like you did a good job of modifying the rear end to accommodate the necessary turn radius and airhose placement. I applaud!

I'd recommend you to buy some big chains for all four tires on that truck. It will help getting through those muddy forest paths a lot easier.

Those fasteners you were trying to remove look like the same type that are used on aircraft structures called "Hi Lok" fasteners. They're designed to be torqued once and not come loose, which is why you couldn't get them off easily. Great job on moving that frame assembly back to where you needed it. Good to know information.

[@billbarnes1043]

I have used those on the railroad, they are not torqued, they are pulled hydraulically and then crimped on the bolt. And you are correct, they are not intended to ever come off!

@@billbarnes1043 I'm sure there are probably different types of similar fastener. The ones used on aircraft, and I have seen used other times had a hex-head on the the nut end and were designed to shear off once you had reached the specified torque. Once that hex-head sheared off, you were left with that barrel portion covering the threads.

Those fasteners are called “Huk fasteners”. They are pressed in, not screwed in. We used them on International trucks when I worked at the plant in Springfield, Ohio. That’s the only way to get them off is to cut them off and then unscrew them. Hold really well but are a pain when you need to do maintenance.

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

That big honkin rouond hitch has been since forever. Andrew mentioned skinny. I think that is the solution. Just a few inches of extension pushes that A frame a little further away. Radius and all that. REO. Dang. I know where there is several acres of valuable historic vehicles in AZ. When the old guy dies it's all going up for auction. 'course maybe nobody cares anymore about old time trucks. Anyway, what a great story to watch. Of course, when you get fired up about a renovation it's time to stop, review and then start making plans that includes notes about what you did so you can put it back together again. That's how you do it. No truer words. This is so much fun to watch that I need to shut up and just watch.

The truck that got stuck has a Central Tire Inflation System -CTIS which allows you deflate / inflate your tire air pressure relational to terrain you're traversing. The black control panel on the dash below the brake knobs.

[@mattlane2282]

XD right your aired up to all hell in mudd with ctis... use it... also can't believe that does not have locking diffs?

[@calebshort2169]

This was my thought too. Those trucks can tow at stupid low pressures. And be fine especially on that terrain.

[@adamclark662]

That was my thought also!!!!! Drop the tyre pressure Andrew is wat I was hoping for but I guess pull it more violently can have the same effect in the end Ha!!!!!

[@Firenamer2]

I think Andrew knew about the CTIS (mentioned it at 1:41). Not sure why he didn't use it for mud, would've been useful.

When you have an 8 ton dozer spinning the tracks in front of it, tire pressure isnt going to make a difference anymore

When diesel leaks into the coolant it means your injector cups are failing.

[@EFCasual]

And it shouldn't be ignored.

[@Barnagh1]

Do you mind explaining further? You obviously understand why it happens.

[@Freakingstang]

There is coolant passages in the head surrounding the injector and valve seats. The cup is a brass or bronze cup the injector sits into it and seals it from oil and coolant getting into the cylinder. Eventually the higher pressure of the fuel will sand blast the cup to leak lots of fuel into the coolant. And if let go, can wear a groove in the head permanently ruining it or once it’s gets wore enough coolant will enter the cylinder and can hydro lock the engine, bend a rod, etc.

[@tedgerstenslager2949]

@@Freakingstang And, the diesel fuel will attack the sleeve O rings, for starters, and to fix that the sleeves will need to come out. Also it will attack any rubber hose and seals, like water pump seal, and a myriad of other things. Fix them now.

[@rjohnson9543]

To prevent getting stuck on that hill again with the LMTV, reduce the tire pressure a little and change the transmission AWD mode to 50/50 front and back. It it probably at 70 rear and 30 front. Or just drive faster!!

[@firesurfer]

Or maybe wait until the road dries out.

“Something about diesel getting in to the antifreeze” I don’t know, “I thought it was something that could be ignored” I am quoting AC. It’s definitely something you don’t want to ignore. At the least it can ruin an expensive engine, or at worst kill the people in the cab.

[@ih8s8n]

I’m not sure but you might not want to ignore that if you get too much diesel in the coolant and rupture a rad hose, you could have a pretty big/bad fire on your hands. Perhaps a potential way for the driver & passengers to die, burnt in a truck fire.

@@neonhomer no you can and that’s the whole purpose! I’ve never been stuck before with CTIS.

Put it in "mode" then arrow down into 1st (truck normally starts off in 2nd). That will lock the transfercase. Diffs are still open though. Also, like mentioned above, air down your CTIS
