Miss watching these shows in high school every weekend. RIP to the good days of TV.
remember kids, loctite and torque specs 👍
You can't see it, but there's a nuclear meltdown going on inside LT after Austin's unsuccessful track run
Oh, I can see it!
You can definitely see it but what the hell is he so upset about??? He barely did a short burnout before it broke. It would have happened to him had he gone first. LT needs to chk his attitude.
@@swinstead07 At first it looked like Austin miss shifted, so i can understand his reaction at this exact moment
Flywheel bolts...a lil Locktite goes a long long way.
I was just about to say, I thought putting loctite on flywheel bolts was something they taught in kindergarten
More than that. 292s take 3 dowel pins, not one, and use six 1/2'' bolts, not 7/16'' They set it up like it was a 250. And that's for stock a 292, 170 horse. Heavyweights use 3 more 1/2'' bolts to replace the dowels. TV Dudes didn't know L6s.
Brave letting Austin drive this truck! The same guy that loved to blow smoke in his diesel and blew that up too!
There is a whole lot more people out there that could have used help more than this guy
my truck has 320,000 miles... paid to have it fixed and the shop went out of business before the rest of the parts came in
Yea I always see them fix people’s vehicles and in the background they have a big nice house and seem pretty well off. But that sort of thing never happens to the poor people like me.
That 2014 didnt need work.
Yeah, no kidding! He still has a nice house and truck. This wasn't a "rescue", it's just a gift "fix up".
I said the same exact thing when I saw the douche bag come out in his $200 designer jeans with that over priced dealership special with that typical shitty lift and rims in front of his $300k+ house.
They aren’t in need, they’re just clearly terrible with money. Look like the type of family who’s behind on payments but still buys new shit they can’t afford every couple years.
And just like that Austin was fired from the show 😂
REALLY????? they fired him for that?
Naw you could tell they didn’t get along. You can tell the tall dude is a little bitch. Just look at how he throws a fit when it wasn’t even his fault. The flywheel bolts just came loose.
292's will always back out there flywheel bolts if the wrong bolts were used and not torqued correctly. That is one of the things the Chevy inline six power manual warns about. Glad y'all caught it before anything got messed up.
Exactly. They have their own bolts, for both the manual and automatic flywheels.
@@elmerfudpucker3204 add to that typical Chevy uses the minimal amount of bolts for everything
This is why LT has his own channel
He does?
@@otsenres1636 yes, CZcams. It's pretty good!
Go watch the previous episode to see who bolted the flywheel onto that engine...
I sure do miss Stacey David .
He has his own show still. Gearz
Even tho he was apparently one of the biggest ass holes in show biz. Same.
@@bryanmunson1685 He has a Podcast now guys eh.
He has a CZcams channel with recent content, but I hope you like paid promotions and podcasts.
Way better than these fools!
The one thing I liked about the comparison of both trucks, is that the stance was almost exactly the same. You had fresh paint and monochrome painted trim vs Patina & Chrome. And both trucks had such great wheel tire combos too. Good thing it wasn't any more than flywheel bolts!
Your more than welcome to come rescue either of my 2 Jeeps. I miss my YJ that was totaled years ago thanks to a careless driver. But being partially disabled, unable to work for the past few years, my budget for repairs is zero. 1st of my 2 Jeeps is special to me and belonged to my step father who passed a few years back. Its a 98 Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited and it is amazing fun to drive. However it's steering is out, and has a few leaks here and there. The 2nd is a 1960 Willy's CJ-5 that I took on a couple years ago as a project. It needs just about everything and the engine has seized umong needing just about every part of the brakes. It needs a radiator and a bit more patchwork on the body which I do as I can.
They dont reply you are wasting your time
So he didn't break it. Didn't matter who was behind the wheel, it was going to break. LT, I could see you were beyond livid, but you kept your composure. Did better than I would have! I also noticed the timing between LT leaving the show and this incident. Wondering if maybe the entire story didn't make it on camera.
Damn, LT seemed a little pissed right off into a low earth orbit.... So tell me what really happened here, gotta be a little more to it then what ya'll showed in the video.
A loose flywheel would cause this and many more serious problems if it had came off at high RPM. The guys were lucky.
@@olemansailor6519 Rookie mistake. I know it didn't exist in the 60s, but nowdays everyone should use blue Loctite on the flywheel bolts. Maybe even red. They got orange now too, which is in between.
@@donellmuniz590 if that's what happened, I doubt you'll see this project again. That would be sooo embarrassing to have f'd that up
We get stuff delivered to Australia from Rockauto as quickly as if it was bought here, and the pricing is awesome.
Wish I could say the same here in Canada. It isn't Rockauto's fault though. Parts get stuck at customs for a while.
@powernation I would hope that you guys know this already but....I6s have a nasty natural harmonic @ 6k rpm that no amount of loctite can keep bolts in. You gotta be @ 5500 or 6500, not in between. You hold her @ 6k and she will throw flywheel bolts and harmonic damper rings in very short order! Old racers learned how to drive in and out of that range on the old six's.
On the street, I keep my 3/4 race I6 shift point @5500 rpm. I've taken it higher, but if I hold the rpm @6k for longer than a few seconds I check the flywheel bolts before I put it away. That inspection cover suddenly becomes very convenient!
They dont reply might as well talk to a dead horse
Power Nation, you guys are the best!
LMFAO, you guys ever hear of threadlocker?. This is what happens when the powernation producers search grinder for car show hosts.
Like both trucks, also Jame’s music; love this show too! Damn where he learned to shift, glad wasn’t 18 speed!!!
Austin must have really broke that truck to get fired
No, I personally do not that it was the act of the truck getting broke. I think I was his whole attitude that would of got him fired. It sure came across that he (Austin) did not care. I would not want that guy driving anything I owned.
I think there is alot more to the story and probably alot of angry back and forth off camera.
He got fired?
I not exactly sure but he was driving the truck when it broke LT wasnt very happy, and now he has a nee co host
Just wondering how a simple man would get on the list to have this done to my truck? And did it cost him anything or was some sort of gift?
I thought that punk just shredded a 3500$ transmission, he got lucky.
Theres a lot of bull going on here about the flywheel bolt failure issue because the truth is that no amount of Loctite is going to prevent those flywheel bolts from coming out. All straight sixes suffer from a violent harmonic vibration problem especially when they are hopped up and the only cure is to dowel the flywheel on to the crankshaft, 3 x 1/2" dowels will just about do the job but I personally always used 6 x 1/2" hard steel dowels installed between each flywheel bolt. The other thing is to upgrade the bolts themselves and increase the tightening torque by 30 lb ft. This problem was caused by the lack of experience of the engine build side of this project not the truck build people. Note. the crank and the flywheel are usually both severely damaged in these flywheel/bolt failure incidents and are best replaced and in any case the machining involved to install the dowels is strictly a machine shop only job and will require the crank to be removed from the engine so all in all it's a lot of work and money to sort out.
Keep up those Driveway rescues up
I had a 64 C-10 6 cyl straight drive. Loved that old truck, worked for TVA. To work was 100 miles one way. I drove to work stayed in motel & drove home on weekends. She started smoking bad so I sold it. Regretted it everyday since
Yea I sure wish I could get that lucky to have a driveway rescue. I just lost my job and I will never catch a break like that. Let alone have a big nice house and a new truck like he has.I drive a 2007 clunker but it’s all I can afford.
Right would be nice for someone else, im a airforce vet medically retired and the trans blew out on my truck. It sat for 2 years because I never had the money to fix it, then I had to sell it off for parts.
I got a battered 99 Ranger and 98 Silverado. And I live in a trailer. Life didn't go according to plan, lol.
Poor baby. The truck you didn't pay for had a little problem. Lighten up LT
Right! I'm surprised he was acting like such a prong.. kinda makes sense why he was doing the show alone for awhile.
Good job! 👍
It’s quite sad that the pavilion that they shot this at is gone now.
Somebody got really pissed in this one. And it turned out to be no big deal.
Excellent driveway rescue
You guys are Heaven sent keep up the goods work😇😇😇
Been patiently waiting.
Wtf no oil and gas is busy as heck especially on pipeline dude got money and can’t change his own breaks come on
Brakes, not breaks 😉
Now everyone is gonna beg to have their junk fixed for free. I'm disabled, broke as "fudge", and live in a 1975 trailer. All I drive is junk. But I ain't beggin' for nothin'.
How about helping someone that actually needs it.
9:30 "Don't break it." "Don't break it?" "Don't break it." "Why ya think I'm gonna break it?" "I know you too well". Foreshadow much? 🤣
In Love with both!
Man that thing sounds so awesome
Love the patina on this one
I'm wondering if I owned that truck way back when..... Sure would look good in my driveway now!!
234👍's up guys thanks again for taking us all along with you
I wanna talk smack about flywheel bolts backing out, but then I remember I'm the guy that somehow managed to get an oil ring UNDER a compression ring once upon a time....and think better about shit talking. lol
At least that sweet 292 was fine, that's the important bit.
Hey rookie pull the fill plug before the drain plug.
For real. You’re making an automotive show.
Really shows when the script and rehearsed repairs stop, and they get thrown into the real world lol
Money shift 2 back to 1.
I thought for sure that's what happened. 3 back to 2. Always better to just 'Abort'.
It's time for a new new guy!
Those rear pads still had atleast 6 months left on them
“If I wanted to stop, I wouldn’t have went this fast”
Those old Sixes had torque, down at the bottom, like a diesel.
Big rigs - max torque at 1500 rpm, while a 250 like mime, at 1600 rpm.
You just gave me a peek about what coulda been to my ‘65 C20 some 30 years ago before life/money/ability got in the way.
BTW you mentioned a 235 six for this year, nope, 194, 230, 250 & 292.
Hated my 230 3 on the tree so I got a top loader 4 speed. That was the end for the ‘65 as I didn’t have help or Jack to lift Jack to lift that behemoth.
Not a patina fan, mine woulda been copper colored.
Looks like you ran out of paint.
I love the c-10 That is so bad ass !
im not a Chevy guy but whats not to love?
Yeah I saw you didn’t put any Loctite on the fly wheel bolts but who’s thinking about that at the time.
LT upset like a little kid
Always pull the fill plug on a diff first!
Definitely because if you can’t fill it your fu$&@?
Loctite goes a long way!!
Did you ever test the truck or is it the next episode ?
I had to drill and safety wire my flywheel bolts on my 6 cylinder, the harmonic's on a crank that long is hard to control !
Need some medium lock tight on those fly wheel bolts. ;)
Wish i had this truck 👍🏽
Hood fins?! What are those, I love them!! 👍
Wah wah... coulda been an episode of roadkill...👋😬
MONEY SHIFT !!! 💥😫
whens the 300 rebuild coming
2022
Are you serious
Damn LT was legit pissed at ol' Austin. Being the new guys sucks... Wasn't his fault.
Thread locker is a complex thing to use properly I guess. Flywheel bolts without it is asking for trouble as we saw. It generally doesn't work on greasy metal and strangely you never see them degrease a bolt or the hole. As someone who knows his way around guns scope rails and rings come loose quickly from recoil without it.
@@bmstylee rare that they'll even reuse anything greasy or rusty.
There is a specific set of bolts that have to be used on a 292 with an automatic or standard transmission. The only person to be upset with is the person that was responsible for getting the parts together for this project. It's the little details that can reach out and bite your projects in the butt and cost big money if they're not caught soon enough. I'm fixing a dumbbell thing I missed on a engine build now. I'm just glad it was my own junk and not something for someone else. Love this channel guys!!!!
@@adampatterson707 yep. Details details details. Don't pay attention and you will get bit. I work on cars but I don't really enjoy it most of the time. Building guns now that's what I enjoy and details are super important given you have a small explosion happening right in front of your face.
The best part is, I went back and watched the engine install and LT is the one who put the flywheel on.
Is the Chevy truck fixed? On camera or off camera? I'm confused.
their accent is just wow
Poor LT was livid. If only they had just locktite'd the flywheel bolts
IVE GOT A PATINAED 1966 C10 FLEETSIDE IN EXACTLY THE SAME COLORS AND FACTORY PRIMER. BUT IT HAS A SLIGHTLEY LONGER BED AND A SMALL OVAL FOOT HOLE STEP BUILT INTO THE BED DIRECTLY BEHIND THE CAB ON BOTH SIDES. IVE BEEN TOLD THE SMALL BUILT IN STEPS ARE FACTORY. IVE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER CHEVY TRUCK WITH THESE SMALL OVAL FOOT SIZE STEPS.
IT RUNS BUT HAS FLOORBOARD RUST AND NEEDS THE PANELS.
THE INNER FENDERS ARE OKAY BUT IT NEEDS BOTH FENDERS.
WHATS IT WORTH AS IS ?
I like the old originale grill much more.
The C10 was definitely one of the most unique builds you guys have ever done. I’m pissed you are off TV as I’ve been watching these shows since Joe Elmore did the first show many years ago. I hope to see a video of this C10 all tightened up and blasting down the track with 510 ft tq!!!
I never liked Elmore, he looked and talked like a game show host, or a local news weatherman, not a regular guy.
@@donellmuniz590 hahaha, you are right! He definitely wasn’t skilled and you could tell a mile away he was learning but I think he was a producer of the early shows
So who is the culprit who didn't properly torque the flywheel bolts? I made that mistake once! You don't do it twice. Nothing like wrestling a 4 speed with a married transfer case in a gravel driveway.
Love these kind of feel good stories. We have been in on a couple of Habitat for Humanities.
I'll just say this now...Austin didn't kill himself. ;)
These guys put loc-tite on everything. How do flywheel bolts back out? I rebuilt plenty of engines and I have never had flywheel bolts come loose!
Loctite only works on clean metal. It won't set properly if it's has oil on it. Before I use thread locker I clean with acetone.
@@bmstylee Agreed. I've always put mine in a basket and let them soak in my parts cleaner then spray them off with a non chlorinated brake cleaner and let them dry.
Weird to not paint the engine bay a nice clean white to highlight the clean fresh built engine..Don’t make sense to me
Flywheel bolts backed out? Ummm...Locktite and torquing? Are you guys sure you do this for a living?
We knew he was going to break it
By Austin, hope things work out for you!
Austin is bad luck. Track day and the truck breaks. Maybe it's only the Chevy's.
is Austin ok?
We want 1/4 mile times!!
Yes I agree. I'm really curious what it will run...
Gold or white Tundra? God if I could only count the amount of Tundras i see in Texas.
You want to piss off the Good Humor man all you have to do is break his truck
Missing front lugnuts rejects
If dingus knew that 3rd comes after 2nd instead of back to 1st, LT might've got to make a pass.
If y'all think watching this cajun tool is painful, you should avoid PNs other show "Carcass"
Love this truck. I like the patina look.
big baby
put some seatbelts in it, please.
>>Took Our ’65 Fleetside Chevy C10 To The Dragstrip And It BROKE
Money shifting, no double clutching
Mounty? Lol!!
Nice to see LT come out of his television frame. Made the show more interesting y’all should do that more.
You ruined Chevrolet’s anti theft system by removing the three on the tree. Known knows what to do when they get behind the wheel. And the is how I left my ‘68
Shoot, there’s not many people out there that can even figure out a regular manual trans.
Could be wrong, but i think we are seeing a new host not just a " guest builder"
They announced hes a new co host months ago
Thank you
@@rashadcolson5510 Don't feel bad. Many of us don't keep terribly up to date and let the CZcams keep us current, too. I don't know, too.
Can you guys pretty please do a driveway rescue on my 2007 Infiniti g35x. I need so much work done it’s not even funny. I am so scared to dive it to work every day but I have no choice
Uh, the show is called TRUCK TECH, sir 🙄.
They dont reply you are wasting your time
Did y’all lock tight the fly wheel bolts on the 65 Chevys are notorious for flywheel bolts backing out, why don’t you pull the fill plug out first on gear boxes they drain so much better you have to take them out anyway.🙄
I know what the problem was. That loose nut behind the wheel !
Anyone ever notice 2 missing lug nuts on the front passenger wheel
If the bolts backed out someone didn’t locktite them
It ain't complicated!
If you don't know how to drive don't do it!
Pretty simple!
Moneyshift!
