@@jorgyr36 You are correct. After we retired my wife and I travelled to Canada and purchased an old long forgotten Winnebago Minnie Winnie. Fixed it up best we could , furnace, freezer, bathroom all working eventually. Six cheap tyres, fitted it out from thrift shops. Spent just over a year travelling the roads of America, mostly old gravel backroads . Spent Fourth of July in Stanley North Dakota actually, really great friendly people. We had read in England about the Whirla Whip Ice cream there, so drove over for one, honest !. Had one of the best times of our lives. The Rockies, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Mesa Arizona. Almost full length Highway 101 , many side trips as folks invited us to join them. San Francisco, Yuma, . Two months with the snowbirds, day trips just into Mexico as guests of the snowbirds who looked after us so well. Xmas on Ocatillo Flats, I think it was. Houston Space Centre. Slowly across towards the East, but our Visas were running out so we headed North along the Natchez trace, innocents !. Got caught in some kind of a storm near Nashville, everyone else pulled of the camping ground about 2 am, no one old us !. It was rough and scary for a while there, now part of our adventure. Eventually back into Canada and the flight home. Rich folks ?, no way, farm workers kids and just many ordinary jobs until we retired. Camped free most of the time, or cheap, others showed us where and how. So many people, so many places, so many great memories, so much kindness. Those roads are there, just take them, doesn't have to be a million dollar travelling castle. We paid 6000 dollars for the Winnebago, a few thousand as we went along fixing things that broke, sold it in Canada for 3,000. Biggest expense, not having any income at all. Spent a good slice of our life savings, best money ever spent we still think. Go for it, drive the roads, see more of your fantastic country, meet the people.

@@barryaiello3127 change oil, add ENGINE RESTORE, Lucas oil stabilizer, 10W40 or 15W40 and the oil pressure will come up , and compression will come up, maybe not for long but it will work for a while, I did that to a wore out 76 Cadillac, and it ran for another 4000 miles

Don't know why all the thumbs down, considerings, most folks would've called a town truck by now, but, derak pull out all the tricks to get himself home. That alone deserves a thumbs up as far as I'm concerned.

My X Father in law and I got trapped way out of town one early morning with a busted fuel pump. After trying just about everything I got the idea of pressurizing the gas tank with my portable 12 volt air compressor. So we wadded up a garbage bag around the air line and forced it into the filler tube for the gas tank of the truck. I let the compressor run until I heard the gas tank expand and cranked over the truck engine. Imagine my surprize when the truck started right up and ran like a champ! Got us the 18 miles to home with no problem!😊

I hadn't seen this episode before and I thought I have seen them all. This is one of the more humorous ones. Nice work Derrick and Bro. I had a 76 C20 3/4 ton Camper Special. Spent one summer in the San Fernando Valley, Van Nuys to be exact with 90°+ temps every day rebuilding the 350. Drove it for 60k miles and blew it up coming home from bowling down the hill over Mulholland Dr on the 405 near Burbank boulevard, 2 miles from home. Fun days.

I've been watching old videos because I just recently found this channel and this has been one of my favorite ones. You ain't going hundreds or thousands of miles but this one brings me back home beings i grew up in central North Dakota. Seeing the old cenex truck running on gravel and mud is where it belongs. Thanks for the great content and God bless you and your family
