I Bought a Six-door, Cummins-Powered Truck and it Died on the Way Home! Finnegan's Garage Ep.91

I'd like to thank Dollar Shave Club for sponsoring this video about this epic rescue. Go to DollarShaveClub... to get your Ultimate Shave Starter Set for $5 . After that, the restock box ships full-sized products at regular price. Every dollar you spend at Dollar Shave Club helps support this channel and the rad content we make for you.
The day began like any other one; I checked my messages and saw several links to ramp trucks for sale. This one was different, though. I clicked through the spam and saw no ordinary truck. In fact, it wasn't even a ramp truck and yet I was still intrigued. What flashed across the screen was a 1998 Ford F800 behemoth that was stretched from a four-door crew cab to a six-door colossus! Even better, the truck reportedly only had 30,000 miles on the odometer and was powered by a Cummins 12 valve 6BT Diesel engine and seven-speed Spicer manual transmission. This was a red and white unicorn!
So David Newbern and I hatched a plan; we'd fly to Iowa, buy the truck and road trip it 900 miles back to Georgia where we'd eventually hop-up the diesel and stretch the chassis to accommodate a giant enclosed ramp bed. We made it about 150 miles before the entire plan fell apart thanks to a wounded engine.
This is part 1 of the fun. Come back to see what happens after this road trip comes to a screeching halt in the parking lot of a fireworks store in Missouri.

I missed that dipstick. I figured he might have busted the oil cooler by not winterizing it(previous owner) and patched to sale. That dipstick is a major tattletale with a 12 valve.

I was stuck in a motel in 1979, in Waukeshaw, Wisconsin and about 10 below zero, with a Kenworth Cabover 2-axle tractor that wouldn't start. I figured, "What the hell? I've had AAA for 15 years, I might as well give them a call." They didn't want my call. The nice lady said, " Your towing coverage doesn't include commercial vehicles. I tried to tell her, "it's a really nice truck and I left the trailer in the terminal yard so it would be really easy to hook up to." She wasn't buyin'! I spent the weekend in that little motel and it never did get above zero... but there's a restaurant called Zorba's attached to the motel (still) and they had great food so I didn't suffer too much. TV in 1979 ran out of excitement pretty quickly so it was a borrrring weekend!

I feel better after seeing this video, two days ago I picked up my 1996 F800 box truck with a 6.9 cummins from getting inspected, it passed but I was told the turbo was leaking oil and there was a risk of having a runaway engine. After getting the estimate I decided to order one online and do the work myself, the estimate $3,800 was $1,300 more that I paid for the truck a year and a half ago. I can't complain too much, it has 292,000 miles on it and still running decent. The 5.9 is absolutely no powerhouse but it will eventually get where its going, at least most of the time :(

[@jamesprice1859]

My F700 has the same Cummins, and I love it. It's my errand runner, just because I like to drive it. I get 24 mpg on the interstate with it. Had a F250 dually long bed on it for several years, now it's a flat bed. So stinking reliable!

Over in the thread " The moment I saw the dip stick bungy corded in I knew there was some positive crankcase pressure and figured it was a head gasket.

Any engine needs to work. Without oil moving around seals dry up, corrosion from just humidity in the air happens, coolant in passages runs out of corrosion inhibitors (likely what happened here, bad coolant ate up the head gasket). Saddest thing is to see a rebuilt engine that sat for years and ends up having to be rebuilt again due to corrosion from no oil covering things inside.

[@TheBeeMan1994]

For those who dont know, the Medium Duty series fords, Such as the F600-F800s all use a standard ford pickup cab on a heavy duty frame, the interior was exactly the same from 1980-1998, using the bullnose interior, but the doors and sheet metal was from the current production trucks. one of the stock options was a Cummins 12 valve, (Later models used a 24 valve) and a 4 speed allison on some and on the later models the 5 speed Allison 2000. I used to work for Culligan and my delivery truck was a 96 with a 12 valve, 4 speed allison, the governor is the standard 3400 rpm , they just stick a bolt on the floor to keep the pedal from traveling far enough to go over 55 or so mph. If you remove the bolt you get full pedal travel and mine maxed out at 82 mph. I want to buy a medium duty in the future

I thought the same thing🐿️🐿️🤔😂🤣

[@beboncio4]

Oh that diarrhea feeling when you pay big bucks for something and it starts to break down little by little on the way home, love it. 😵

[@mikekadlec5428]

Love how shocked you are with the "Just go in the barn and check it out...its unlocked" lol. Living in Central City Iowa my whole life I never even knew our doors locked until I was an adult.....I guess we're just a little more honest and didn't even know it

[@bobjoncas2814]

..one good thing about a new ride breakin' down, is that you can quit waiting for it to happen..lol..good vid

[@joshhoar5406]

"Yeah, my stock, 30k mile, 12 valve blew up and I need a tow!" Had me dying

[@drulessman2892]

You really should make a tilt front clip off a 2019 wrecked f450..update that king of the road

[@jimmytran5971]

Dru Lessman he should he’s already saving money bc it’s already a 6 dr

[@ghunt81]

So I bet this is a former Navy truck that someone turned into a 6-door. They were auctioned off in the mid 2000's and had super low miles. My old job bought one with a flatbed on it (just a regular cab), it had less than 30K on it as well and also had a 160 hp 5.9 12V cummins backed by a 4 speed allison. It was slower than dirt especially with 12,000 lbs on the flatbed.

[@Phyphor666]

Yeah, that "Uh oh" was rather ominous from the Roadside Service lady...

[@agentcrm]

Well you're a proper youtuber now, complete with an ad we've all heard 50 million times.

[@cmusic52]

LOLz that's how you can tell it was a particularly Expensive break in the video LOL Tow bill from Missouri, OUCH

[@AaronsRandomLife]

roadkill v2 now that roadkill v1 is MTOD. Props finnegan for figuring a way to almost give the folks what they lost back.

[@NickGerv1]

That is the most badass truck ever. It just has such a killer look to it, I’m in love

[@bobulele]

Video features David Freiburger. He must have been in the back-back seat.

[@turbocateyeS475]

Lmao back back seat

[@nickrobinson5614]

That is a hilarious typo.

[@m2jn16]

Nope...not without fur-lined flip-flops.

[@FinnegansGarage]

@@nickrobinson5614 sometimes I sign Freiburger's last name instead of mine. lol

[@nickrobinson5614]

Finnegan's Garage you two have obviously spent too much time together in a car. Keep up the hard work. Every week is a new adventure.

[@gutsngorrrr]

Ha, I bet cotton was really surprised seeing you turn up at his with yet another broken down truck being towed in.

[@MU2DRVRca]

Symptoms (oil in coolant) look similar to an OIL COOLER failure I experienced last year with 8.3 Cummins powered motorhome. Three weeks and $15K to repair. Good Luck !!!

[@tranquility7692]

This and squareforce one dying on the middle of a bridge are by far the best and funniest videos on this channel.

[@Fi1del]

i was laughing my ass off for the duration of that phone call too hahaha that truck is so huge its ridiculous! i love it though ! need more content on this beast

[@metalmickey8]

Pure class "UH OH" 🤣🤣 you just cant make this comedy up!!

[@logannewman4532]

5.9 Cummins with a P7100 is also used in marine applications. I put marine (4,000 RPM) springs in my pump so that my Dodge would stop falling on it's face right before every shift with the automatic.

[@jp-if1xo]

So maybe now a wrecker? A big one? A really big one? No one was seriously expecting a 22yr old stretched F800 to go 900mi without a hitch(;-), of course. Therein lay the charm of the channel. That lingering mixed blessing of RoadKill...
