After some engine trouble and a few unfortunate life events, the truck has sat for years. It's time to get this hot rodder back on the road. (engine startup) - Aah! - [Narrator] Ever had a project that stuck, stalled, or over your head? Sometimes it just takes an extra set of eyes or an extra set of hands. Enter the Wrenchmen. Follow along as we travel the country getting classic cars back on the road. (upbeat country music) (slow country music) - Things started sounding bad. I pull over to the side of the road. Looked under the engine bay and there was oil everywhere. Of course the initial thought process then is check the oil. And see I fully expected to see nothing on the dipstick. And much to my chagrin it was overfull and smelled like gas and was like liquid. - [David] Morning John. - Morning. - [David] David. - [John] David. - And Matt. - Matt, pleasure to meet you too. - Good to meet ya. - What do you got hiding over there? - I have got an awesome 34 Dodge pickup that I can't wait for you guys to tear into and make it on the road again. - [David] Well excellent, let's do that! - [Matt] Okay so, with him finding gas in the oil that means one of these carbs has gotta be puking fuel through. - Yeah exactly because this has an electric fuel pump so there's no way to get fuel into the engine because it doesn't have the mechanical. There's no leak path. - Yeah. Carbs are the only path. - [David] Exactly. - [Matt] So we're gonna drop the pan. Take a look at all the bearings. - Yeah because as the oil got diluted with fuel it's not gonna lubricate the bearings as well. That's why it knocked. It's a hydraulic lifter motor, and those lifters are probably slapping as well. - [Matt] Yeah. - But we need to make sure that the mains and the rods are good and there's no just general junk down in the pan. - Yeah perfect. Well let's get going. - Alright yeah. I'll get rolled underneath there and start pulling that pan. (upbeat music) Alright so since I can't drop this pan I'm gonna wipe a rag on the bottom of it and see if there's anything in the bottom. There's nothing picked up on the magnet. So there's nothing shiny. One or two flakes but that would be normal anyway. I really think we're in good shape. We'll do a last check, or part of that last check, we'll pull that oil filter. Cut it apart, see if there's anything in there that tells us differently that we can't just visually inspect basically. Now this side looks good. Is there enough room to get the filter? There isn't. I'm not even joking. - [Matt] Can't get the filter out? - [David] No. You've got to be kidding me. - [Matt] So we're gonna have to pull that bracket? - Well we'll have to jack the motor up. There's probably one thread left. Oh oh, I got it. Well there's some stuff. But not full. So there might be some wear on the main bearings and the rod bearings, but I don't see anything enough to be alarmed. It definitely had a lot of gas going through it though cause this thing stinks. Matt I'm still comfortable with leaving those bearings in it. Let's get a fresh oil filter on it, and go to that battery. Get a new battery in it so we can turn it over. Then we'll be at put oil in it and prime it. We wanna prime it so we can push any diluted fuel, diluted oil, out of the bearings. One more thing down. - [Matt] (mumbles) - Yes. - [Matt] (laughs) Thanks, I like to think so. - I'm having a little pizza. - [Matt] Yeah. (upbeat rock music) - So this carburetor is anchored with the gaskets are stuck. I'm gonna take the end of this wooden hammer and just basically pop it up off of there. - [Matt] I can't think of any reason why we can't put oil in it. We should be able to fill it up, prime it, and then basically start putting the carburetors and distributor back into it, and get that much closer to firing the car up. So just like with the GTO we did for Chris we're gonna do this Pennzoil GT Performance 25W-50. It's got extra zinc in it, and that's the stuff that protects your older engines and it's what they used to run what we're gonna run now. - [Matt] You want me to tell you pressure? - [David] Yeah tell me if we're getting some. (drill) - [Matt] Oh there we go. - In my bet we might be able to spin out more than 20 or 30 pounds. No but what I wanna do, - Whoo lightheaded. - I wanna set the distributor in there, and I wanna see if the starter works. - [Matt] Oh bump it? - [David] Yeah cause if I have to order one of them, yeah, I need to know before six. - [Matt] A little different conversation. You got 15 minutes. - [David] Before six? - [Matt] Yeah. - [David] So we gotta hustle. - There it goes. Contact. - Go ahead. Solenoid fires but the motor's not moving. - [Matt] 12.28. Should be enough to turn it over at least. The starters solenoid is clicking, but the starter isn't turning over so I just checked the voltage at the solenoid for the high current lead. But we got 12.2 something volts so it should be enough to turn that motor over but it isn't, so gonna get a new starter. Okay, on? - [David] Yep. - [Matt] Crank. That's better. That's it. Day one's done. - Now I promised ya at the end of the day we'd be driving it, and obviously we're not. - And I didn't believe you from the first second you said it. - Optimism is better. - I know better. I've been on these things before. - But we got a big portion of that check list done. - [Matt] We did, and we even added a few things. - [David] We did, that's true. So tomorrow morning new fuel pump. - [Matt] Brand new fuel pump. And we already got the starter in. It comes over great. - Tomorrow. - We'll be driving. - Driving tomorrow. - That's right. - Cool, John will be happy. Let's pick some stuff up and go home. (upbeat rock music) (country music) - It was back in the early 2000's when I had another vehicle that was near and dear to my heart. It was a 32 51 Decoupe, and never was ever gonna sell it. I ended up selling it to a gentleman that wanted it very badly. And he gave me a premium price for it. And I thought that I was done with the hot rods for a little bit. I was gonna get into muscle cars, and then I found that I needed another hot rod. I was looking aggressively to find something different and unique, and ended up seeing an advertisement in Goodguys Gazette in the classified's for this beautiful 34 Dodge pickup. - This morning I gotta wrap up these carburetors. Now the problem I'm gonna have is that the steel line is not mating up with the fittings I got for those carburetors. So I may have to do a little adaptation there. - Yeah, well the problem I had yesterday is fixed is we had the exact same fuel pump, but a functional version. I'll work on that stuff. You work on this stuff. - I'll tidy this up. - And when both of us are done maybe we'll fire this thing up and go for a drive. - I like that idea. Sounds good. - Alright. - Just got one more clamp to tighten and then we'll see if we get fuel up to the filter now. There we go. Hey, look at that. I am gonna have to... gotta do a little adaptation here since I can't get the correct fittings. We got a little lucky and we should be able to just use some rubber hose for the short-term. So that'll get us connection to these. The idea here is I'm gonna put this up onto there. Now I know the tube knots are just gonna be bouncing around, but I don't have a choice right now. Alright, see what this one looks like. (engine trying to start up) 115. (engine trying to start up) - No. - I thought I heard something. - [Matt] Ready? - [David] Yeah, give it a try. (successful engine startup) - Aah! - Oh I shut it off, sorry. - That's fine, I figured. That's better. At least we got smoke. We got smoke, we got fire. - For a few years while we we're going through the process of finding a home here, getting resettled, getting out of the debt and reestablishing ourselves, ten months after that my wife became ill. We thought it was pneumonia. She went into the hospital. They started treating her for that. And we ended up finding out that she had cancer and just five months later I lost her. She absolutely loved that truck. That's another part of it that was a great deal of fondness with me that hurt a great deal in the beginning, but now it's, you know, it's like, I guess they say time heals all wounds. And that wound of losing her. Now I can kinda look at the truck and remember the fond memories. And now it's fun and exciting for me again. It's almost like the first week I got that truck. It's coming back to me now. - There's one last thing to do though. - Well that's true. - Go enjoy. - Take it for a spin. - That's what I've been waiting for. - Alright. (engine startup) - [David] It left the garage. - [Matt] I know. - It hasn't left the garage in 15 years? 10, 15 years he said? - Yeah, it's been a while. - He's out tootling around. Got a big grin on his face. One more down. (Upbeat country rock)
