Epic Fail? Trying to Start a Vintage Chevy Fire Truck Without Knowing the Carburetor!
#vintage #chevy #carfails
What happens when you try to start a vintage fire truck with zero knowledge of the carburetor? Well, let’s just say it didn’t go as planned! 😅 As a volunteer at the Oregon Fire Service Museum, I’m no stranger to moving some epic pieces of history, but this one threw us for a loop.
On one of the hottest days of the year, my buddy John from Apex Property Clearing and I got up at the crack of dawn to haul a vintage fire apparatus from Eugene, Oregon, up to the museum. Everything was going smoothly… until we tried to start it. Turns out, this beauty uses an updraft carburetor, and we were completely clueless.
Cue Jim, one of our board members, who schooled us on the difference between an updraft and a downdraft carburetor. He got it started without breaking a sweat-meanwhile, we’re just over here laughing at ourselves.

Installing the World’s CHEAPEST Catalytic Converters on a 2006 Toyota Tundra (It Worked... Sort Of)
zhlédnutí 65Před 21 dnem
#toyotatundra #catalyticconverter #diy In this video, I help my friend Pat replace the catalytic converters on his 2006 Toyota Tundra after they was stolen, along with the oxygen sensors. To keep things on a budget, I ordered the cheapest catalytic converter I could find on eBay and the least expensive oxygen sensors from Amazon. I spent about $224 in total and let’s just say, things didn’t go ...

Yes!!

Здравствуйте. Классный автомобиль. Планирую взять себе подобный.
Nice!
You don't know what you're talking about
I’ve learned several things about these!
nice review
Thanks!
magnificent sound😅 i'v just bought one my self. i'm now officaly in the V12 club👍👍👍👍👍
Heck yeah! Is it in good shape?
that I'm not sure of, but all the auxiliaries are there, even the gear box. paid 450 quid,that's 600 dollars. going to put some oil down the bores, and just crank it and do a compression test, then go from there. I'll keep you up dated 👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@liamhollin8265 heck yes! please do.
The first gen dodge ram is way more sexy
And partial to the second gen with the Cummins!
They infact did not pull through they just dug deaper Edit did not notice this was posted 30 minutes ago I thought I was from a couple months ago but yea would be cool to see if they make it back
No worries, mate! I’m just behind on posting videos. I don’t think that they’ll be coming back, however, a leasing company in New York bought all of the rest of them so we will see what they end up doing with them.
@@BadIdeasGarage hopefully they find a way to come back.they looked pretty cool it's just there technology was pretty flawed.
@@BET_Tech yeah sadly I don't think they will come back :(
It’s a ford, not even free. Pass hehe.
Ford GT-R the r stands for robertson as in robertson racing team A small family racing team who participated in endurance racing who eventually got the chance to participate in Le Mans without a manufacturer sponsoring them Being an all-ford racing team without the "Ford motors" Backing them up winning 3rd in it's category Yeah good for them but bad for Ford This is a kit car made by Superlite the people who made the affordable SL-C
Thanks for the info!
The car in the video is a supercharged straight 6 with a GM 4L80E 4 speed trans.
Cool!
What year? I don't think so.
What are you talking about? Easy to work on compared to modern cars. Lots of used parts cheap online. The gearbox is MB amg and very strong and reliable. Mine got 240000 km on the clock. The insurance cost is low. All older cars require maintenance but compared with equivalent German cars is it definitely cheaper to drive. You can buy a good XJR for less than I paid maintenance last year for my Porsche!
@@Checkyoursix77 read the rest of the comments, my dude, in this thread lol
@@BadIdeasGarage Read? Why don’t you drive or own one instead of believing everything you read online? I have owned several Jaguars during the last 30 years. My XJR since i bought it new in 99. Compared to German or Italian performance cars is the Jag a bargain to own. I can tell you that from experience…
Congrats for your ownership! I’ve driven several of these actually - this one is owned by a neighbor. Sheesh if you read at the comments in this thread you’ll see that I learned a thing or two my dude. Chill out.
@@BadIdeasGarage I’m chill, sorry if I came down hard!
That is a x300 (1997 and older) only sold with the inline 6 or supercharged inline 6 Next gen was x308 sold from 98-2003
0:23 yup! You will see that I learned a couple things from this video if you read the rest of the thread
Hater hater lmfao hater gtfoh
I do like being topless though 😅🤣
What size lift and tires did you get? it looks awesome
It’s a 2 inch lift and I think 27 inch tires, but I need to ask the owner!
They still make studebakers in Canada.😮
Cool! What models?
Please get in touch with me and send the information I’m extremely interested in the truck!!!
Enjoyed this video and the story behind it... I'm a classic 80s early 90s Subie owner. Have an 81 touring wagon auto, 2 door 80 leone coupe converted to 4wd EA81 running gear 4sp, 87 Vortex XT fwd, Brumby (Brat), 89 L series touring wagon (2 of (auto & manual), and 91 legacy sedan.... currently only the Brat is my now daily driver...the others are waiting for some TLC...I love them all for their classic shapes/styling Sure they're not powerful engines, yet hell they're fun to drive... people notice you too when out and about, especially previous Subie owners...they like to reminisce the good ol days of having one
Heck yes! Thanks for sharing. This one with the ej22 swap is beyond fun to drive. It’s still not fast but it doesn’t need to be 😊
I know close to nothing about cars. What is bad about a CVT?
Continuously Variable Transmissions- it’s an automatic (as in, not a stick shift), but it doesn’t really have gears like you’d expect. So when you floor it rather than going through the gears, it just revs up high and can be loud. And it doesn’t feel fun at all. It sucks any fun out of driving. They also have a reputation for being hard and more expensive to maintain plus they don’t last as long usually as regular transmissions. They are getting better but I still won’t ever buy one.
@@BadIdeasGarage I see. My dad has a 2007 Dodge Caliber with a CVT. When you floor it the engine speeds way up but the car doesn't, so that seems about right. It's got about 109,000 miles on it and the transmission has never given any problems. It'll be my car in the future. I don't really care that much about the no-fun part, as long as it gets me from point A to point B it's whatever
I'm wondering if maybe you had the vehicle in "ECO" mode while on the highway during your test drive? At highway speeds, using this option can lead to more sluggish acceleration, forcing drivers to depress the gas pedal deeper in order to maintain speed while the electric motor works harder to charge the battery instead of working in tandem with the ICE motor.
I likely tried both but I can’t remember. Good point though!
Yep
Just wait till he sees my car
lol what you got?
Basic options= what most people want and can afford.
I seriously love that these are around
you do nothing. I do it.. lol
I’m the manager, I strategize the projects 😅😂
What kind of car was boosting the Daytona?
You mean, what kind of motor? This one has an upgraded 2.5 turbo.
@@BadIdeasGarage No, the other car that's giving the Shelby a boost, looks black and white, 2 dr?
@@GLHS60not sure 😅
Straight pipe problem solved
It was like that for a bit before we put them back on. It was WAY too loud. It sounded good sometimes though lol
Hell yeah. I’ve done the same thing on my Honda. Lasted for 4 years I’d say it wasn’t too bad
Yeah they are cheap but hoping to get some years out of them!
😮
Who the hell puts cats on their car
Well, it's the law, and this had a check engine light that wouldn't make it through emissions check here in Oregon. There also isn't really much of a performance gain anymore for taking them off.
They were made from 73'-87'
You cant use any JAguar V12 because they drop valve seats
Hahahahahah du bist überall Kollege. Wer hat dir weh getan?
They also dropped your entire bank account🤪
It was a very nice day out. I was bummed the sound wasn't good enough for folks to hear the announcer where we were sitting...tho it seems better in your audio than irl.

Facts 😎🤓
It literally looks nothing like a volt 🤡
lol are you trying to say that it’s not based on the Volt?
The drivetrain (not visible) is! That’s like saying a dodge challenger and and a Chrysler 300 “look” the same.
Those also look the same. Especially because I see them at the Mechanic together all the time.🤪
Hi, did you buy the exhaust manifolds new original Mercedes ones? How much do they cost? Have you tried to see if there are similar non-original steel collectors?
They were non OEM - that’s all I remember!
Was......company is done.
Yeah I saw that. Not so much FUV after all!
@Bad ideas Garage, do you think you can tell me how to use a tps reset tool? I have the exact same SVC Tire monitor warning on my 2009 g6 convertible and I don't want to go to belle tire and get it fixed there haha.
I bought the tool on Amazon - it’s less than $10 and works in 3 seconds lol it was annoying to have to buy a tool but I could never get the relearn sequence to work. amzn.to/4ckhr6C
You did the right thing.
I feel validated😁
@@BadIdeasGarage - It's always better to take time to grab the grabber..lol
Soak in KROIL overnight. Wake up, put it together, start the car and let it run for 10 mimutes. Turn off the car, pull everything apart ASAP and get the plugs out.
Thanks for a-KROIL-ing by my video 😎
My wife got me that same tool kit for my birthday and I didn’t know how much I needed it until I got it 😂
I had this for a couple months, it was my first time using it. I feel silly it took me so long. It’s amazingly helpful! I used those mirrors instead of a scope.
Ford = Junk
Good thing it’s not mine then lol.
Those little brass insert bastards will strip out in there hole. Then you have to melt them out and glue them back in. A real nightmare on these engines
Well, good thing I avoided that!
wrong lol. The unreliable ones were the prior model with the rectangular headlights. Those are perfectly good cars, you only want to be extra careful with the 4.0 liter engines. If those were driven with petrol, that had sulfur in it it could damage the cilinder liner and the engine would lose compression. But they also came with a 4.2 liter engine that didnt have that issue, plus they dont put sulfur in fuels anymore, so if you find a good one you can just keep on driving it
Look at the comments my dude lol I’ve learned rest assured
How the hell does it not have car seat anchors?
Seems like a marketing-driven decision. Or accounting. It saves money not to have anchors in the third row. And the majority of owners will never use them. But at the same time, it’s such a small space that adults probably wouldn’t even be back there anyways. There’s a small age range of people who can use them 😀
