Not me hiding in the bus 😂😂. Thank you guys for the rescue, thank you to the towing company that told us to call y’all (even though they couldn’t come get us), and thank you so much to the couple that had to do the slots in the dark because they were kind enough to let us use their phone to make all of those desperate phone calls. Verizon… of course they’d have bars in Escalante. It’s amazing how many people have found out about Escalante since the first time I’ve been out there. This was the first time I’ve probably been thankful for the “crowd” because if this was even 5 years ago we would’ve been screwed 😮‍💨

Nothing like being in the middle of nowhere, no one can help. That is why in the oilfield we always tried to help. You never knew when you were next and needed something.

[@GEH1956]

there are two starter relays on that bus, one on the panel on the firewall and one by the driver's left foot. the one under the hood is the one that goes out the most often! if the starter spins, I would go relay first, it's a lot cheaper repair. as a retired school bus mechanic I have seen a lot of those fun problems, and they never happen in a convenient place! great job getting him out of the middle of nowhere. It's sad that no one would help the guy, except for Fab Rats!

[@petertarantelli]

The knowledge you have to just walk up to a vehicle, diagnose and get it started is really great! Keep doing what you’re doing.

[@Mark_Bridges]

There were other people around the stranded guy, I'm surprised nobody knew how to get it going and offered to help. Every time I've seen someone stuck or broken in a remote area, everyone stops to help and there's always someone with enough mechanical knowledge to get it going if at all possible.

If the solenoid is shot, a remote starter button isn't going to do anything. The screwdriver is used to make a direct connection from the positive battery cable on the solenoid to the starter.

I was so sucked in to this video that sighed with happy relief when I heard that starter crank over, and had a big smile on my face when that engine caught. Whew!. Great job. That was one happy bus driver. I hope that trip was cheaper for the guy since you didn't have to tow him out, but I know just the time and the trip must have been a substantial amount even without the tow. Everything is so expensive these days, and time is money. But it's also nice to give people a break when you can.

Watched an older FabRat video and wanted to comment on diesels. Carbs don't last a month sitting here in the heat due to the goat piss gas. One time I was working on an old John Deere back hoe that hadn't run in 15 years. (Diesel engine of course.) The owner had lost the key, and I was trying to figure out which wires to hot wire it. When I just barely touched the starter wires, it started and sat there idling perfectly!! I swear it didn't even make a quarter turn and it was running! What a difference compared to the problems we fight with today's gas!!! Vettepilot

I have to agree with a lot of others. Paul and his family and crew are genuine caring people who help others. Fabrats is my favorite KZbin channel to watch, but I also watch Matt's off-road recovery for the sheer entertainment of it, because he makes some of the poorest decisions I've ever seen anybody make regarding mechanical equipment. He also is too stubborn to take anybody's advice when it comes to the Bombi, and install a torsen differential that all snow cats use, including me when I worked for two different ski areas at Tahoe!
