I Bought a Six-door, Cummins-Powered Truck and it Died on the Way Home! Finnegan's Garage Ep.91

The day began like any other one; I checked my messages and saw several links to ramp trucks for sale. This one was different, though. I clicked through the spam and saw no ordinary truck. In fact, it wasn't even a ramp truck and yet I was still intrigued. What flashed across the screen was a 1998 Ford F800 behemoth that was stretched from a four-door crew cab to a six-door colossus! Even better, the truck reportedly only had 30,000 miles on the odometer and was powered by a Cummins 12 valve 6BT Diesel engine and seven-speed Spicer manual transmission. This was a red and white unicorn!
So David Newbern and I hatched a plan; we'd fly to Iowa, buy the truck and road trip it 900 miles back to Georgia where we'd eventually hop-up the diesel and stretch the chassis to accommodate a giant enclosed ramp bed. We made it about 150 miles before the entire plan fell apart thanks to a wounded engine.
This is part 1 of the fun. Come back to see what happens after this road trip comes to a screeching halt in the parking lot of a fireworks store in Missouri.

Why do people give so much face time on their videos instead of the subject?
This isn’t going to be a burnout truck is it? For once I kind of hope it isn’t... it’s too pristine...
Hi there its seems they have added door to it
I can only see you driving this
Don’t forget to fix the doll pin on the trimming cover!!!
What did that beauty cost?!!!
this is the truck for people who want a semi but also want to take the family with them.
Can anybody tell me what happened to Roadkill, don’t be negative, I’ve been wondering
The shooting schedule has changed, now a season of the originals will come out once a week. As for content, shooting demands don't give enough time for the long roadtrips of earlier years. My understanding:)
good thing you got that flight in before the plague lol
The only thing that can kill a cummins.. a ford chassis 🙄
Mike, you need to buy yourself a decent tow truck and just have it follow you around everywhere...
Dude how could you buy that, you seen the kitty litter on the floor pissing cooling out...
at least you got it before whislindiesel
Um, that's Newbern, not Freiburger...see credits.
He said Lemo.....N. lmao.
Fireworks are appropriate anytime.
Lady it's just a big ass pickup truck 😵 what do you not understand 🤣😆

can you please add a time stamp for us to skip through the adds to get to the content?
The too load music compared to the voice talk sucks!
What are you supposed to haul on that thing? Suitcases?
So what's up with bungee on the dipstick
You know why dollar shave club sponsored you ? Because you need to shave
Welcome to hannibal mo. Where 12v's go to die.
Skip the first 9 minutes and the last 10 and for God sakes if you see this guy on the street please throw something at him or at least call him names.
I like the "Mighty Car Mods" soundtrack , even if it was just for a minute.
вот лузеры, купили с ушатанным движком походу
16:01 did you say Mike Hunt or Micah?
the fricken AAA call was the GREATEST!!! hahaha
Isn't the 5.9 a little small for a vehicle this size?
Na, not subbing, you moved Roadkill to a pay to view subscription.. so fuck no
Damn - I have truck envy!
where is hamburger?
Is a Fix or Repair Daily
...My godfather did a sweet custom Travel & Work truck almost exactly like this in the 70's/80's!
Just say you need a Recker?
Just seen yu mixed 2 video parts in this video. Why?
Stop that check ! "I wants to re-negotiate"!
Dollar Shave Club brought to you by a dude who doesn't shave. DSC commercial on Pandora is nonsense too.
is there no additives in us-american diesel, that makes it cold-resistant up to like -30-35°C?
@David Clark ah i see, thanks :)
Röder not usually. Iowa isn’t Canada...
I had one of these F800s for awhile and let it go for good reasons. Yes, they are a nice motor. But the thing rode AWFUL, had no overdrive and constantly having to PRIME the engine was bad.
I cant wait till the coldest days of next winter when Finnegan buys his next vehicle that breaks down.
So I bet this is a former Navy truck that someone turned into a 6-door. They were auctioned off in the mid 2000's and had super low miles. My old job bought one with a flatbed on it (just a regular cab), it had less than 30K on it as well and also had a 160 hp 5.9 12V cummins backed by a 4 speed allison. It was slower than dirt especially with 12,000 lbs on the flatbed.
Its so big. Like what would you use it for?
Fun Fact the cab and interior of the 1998 F800 is the same as the 1980 to 1986 F series pickups...so if you are restoring the bull nose F series from the 80s you can use a F800 cab and interior...
the oh no killed me mate, that is too funny. i forgot its modded with 6 doors
You need a Detroit 2 stroker diesel Finn.
Did you rent a hellcat
good 'ol honest Iowa lmao.
roadkill v2 now that roadkill v1 is MTOD. Props finnegan for figuring a way to almost give the folks what they lost back.
am i the only one annoyed by finnegans seatbelt 16:11
buckle up! I bet the MPGs are terrible on it
I love the Atlanta Airport!!!
I had no idea that those even existed. It looks like some kind of a special utility vehicle used by firemen or some maintenance team that carries broken locomotives... what the actual hell? It's HUGE
me when i buy anything broken in 10 mins
Do you live in Atlanta, Finnegan?
I've missed roadkill
Ford really does earn its 'Found On Road Dead' jab.

I know you guys already do this and are down with them but can you Run over to cleetus and cars , buy a tee shirt and type a comment "I support what you are doing for drag racing" to boost support for those water systems and bleechers..
How much does it weigh? ...Yes!
The truck just pegged the temp gauge...all by itself
clicked for finnegan left after dollar shave club feels bad
Step one: Yank the garbage 12v out Step two: Install reliable Isuzu 6HK Step 3: overnight parts from Japan Step D: install Isuzu FD028 axle up front part 5: Atlas twin stick.
When you start off working on mini trucks, the only logical conclusion is mega trucks. I'm Mike Finnegan and I approve this message.
Dude. If you continue to try to make me waste 9 minutes watching filler content before the video starts, I will not watch another video from your channel. You are the more entertaining half of the duo that got you famous on TRvision. Im actually really stoked to discover you have your own channel. Don't fall into the trap of bloating your videos with fluff to produce more minutes of video time for TRvision. People with sense aren't going to subscribe and you'll have a small fanbase of dbags.
