The content you guys produce with David is unlike any other. Great video guys!

Agreed whenever I see a video with David in it I'm stoked

I love these videos with David. He teaches these young guys some "every guy" tricks. Keep him within the TFL plans because he's fun.

Can we stop a moment and talk about the crazy headliner in the Chevy 2500.

[@jedironin380]

David loves headliners!

[@jdfleetguy28]

I think I have to agree with Blaze “gross push bar Tommy”!🤣

It's far better than those Softoppers they keep putting on all those trucks.

[@Thedriver96207]

David is a great addition! I’d like to see him around a little more often. 👍

[@irishuwould5185]

I love that black Chevy but you won’t be able to pass a gas station with that 454

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

I put the Holly Sniper kit on my old one (1975) that had a carburetor, and it helped. Still is bad though.

[@snowyowl7042]

My dad said the same thing when i bought a 20yo cadillac with a 472ci

[@poorfatman5317]

You'd be surprised how easy on gas the 454 is compared to the 350

[@kerryrwac]

It needs a Gear Venders overdrive.

[@jackk8422]

@@kerryrwac needs a lot more than that. the 4.0l v6 in my Tacoma makes more power.

[@jlsgarage872]

To bad the 454 wasn't a 1996 and newer vortec like Tommy's. Then you'd be making near 300 hp and 420lb ft

Awesome scenic views. David has some gorgeous land!

[@justinseale6023]

If anyone know anything bout driving a standard dodge diesel. 1st gear it's for starting off with a load on your truck. If you don't had a load, you start off in 2nd gear.

[@williammodlin2621]

This is one of the most fun videos on TFL! Thank you David for being a great host, mechanic and all around good dude.

[@sierravortec2494]

This was fun, my two favourite generations of trucks ever made!

[@Kcducttaper1]

Love the authenticity David brings! Most truck reviewers don't even know how to back a trailer let alone change a spark plug or unclog a fuel filter. This is what pickups were made for.

[@dirkwalker7504]

Nice video when is the 65 f100 gonna go off-road

[@HoosierDaddy_]

Panty dog? Between that and the Tommy Impression about automatics, this video was perfect!

[@HAL-dm1eh]

Can we just appreciate how that dog could not be less amused during that race?

[@UltraSS-nj8kd]

Classic & bike channel are becoming the better of the bunch.

[@graumail]

The Cummins must just be hilarious to drive or ride in. Incredible torque and acceleration for a second, three second pause, repeat.

A milestone was achieved today. First time ever 4 hi was used on any TFL channel. Congrats

[@GATORADDAM]

Yes! That's a fun video! Not like the many - many repetitive videos Andre is making with the Raptor parked on some fake rocks!

[@willb6070]

That was a blast to watch. Plus a Blaze sighting is always great. He’s growing so fast.

[@spencerminyo8590]

I like how he restores a truck, then instantly uses it as a work truck

[@codycasner3732]

I think we can all agree..... when David shows up the videos get better

[@mikeh4547]

If you didn’t know, an easy way to read that service engine soon light on the 88-95 obs trucks is jump the ground and diagnostic terminal right next to each other with a paper clip. It should automatically flash 12 and then the code which is causing the light to be on. Obd1 is very primitive but gives a general area of what’s going on. My 454 tends to throw the light at highway speeds for a faulty o2 sensor, slow down some and it goes off

[@waynebinky]

Interesting. My diesel does that when I work it hard be it hauling a large load of wood up a hill or going "a little" over highway speed...maybe a lot over.

[@BrandanM94]

Everyone is saying it I will join in by saying the videos with David are awesome such a cool guy.

[@HarrisonJamesSmith]

Limited slip or locker in the Dodge! ASAP!

[@UserName-ln5ol]

That much torque, you want a lsd not a locker.

[@jonathanfreedom1st]

Locker would be good for more extreme terrain. But LSD is not so bad one needs to complain. Stock Dana didnt fail these axles except with none other than axle seals. Worst part about them. Make you wanna slap the momma of the guy who designed them like that.

[@robmora2703]

An update on the “cel” for the 454 would be good.

Nice work on lifting with your backs instead of your legs. One day you might be lucky enough to have had 3 herniated discs like me!

[@alexanderblackburn4520]

It is amazing how far trucks power and torque have come. The big block 454 has less power and torque then a 5.3 (the 5.3 makes 383 torque, but with easy to find e85, it makes noticably more).

[@duncdunc76]

@@The_Crasher-xj4el Uh not sure you got that right. The Dodge has far better torque then the chevy 1500 gas off the line. Horsepower take off is another story. The gas truck has less torque so it spins the tires less at take off but it accelerates faster due to its horsepower advantage compared to the diesel before its turbo kicks in.
