  • - Here it goes.

  • Contact.

  • - [Narrator] In this episode of the Wrenchmen

  • we are in Mayfield Michigan

  • with John and his 1934 Dodge Pickup.

  • 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)

- Here it goes.
