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.

If I was rich I always wanted to own a bunch of what I like to call TRANSPORT PICKUP truck
****THUMBS DOWN**** Inconsistent sound volume, B.S. video, that took 26 minutes to get to the reason the engine quit. Finnegan's Garage needs to learn to "GET TO THE POINT".
Ok So whats happened with this truck since you did this?
David was getting the Rona and didn’t even know it.
Funny how, when you floor it the heater shuts off? That is apparently a problem.
And how much did it cost
Man what a major kick in the ass
As soon as she said uh oh i was laughing so hard
FFS guys you had me in stitches when calling AAA, almost woke my baby up laughing so hard.
I feel ya man. 20 years ago I drove cross country in a 1986 Dodge 250 Pickup. 2WD with a 318 and 2 barrel carb. It was the 2nd week of January and the engine died on I-80 just before the Welcome to Wyoming sign. No cell phone so we flagged a semi for a ride into Evanston to call a tow truck. My passenger was my then fiance, now wife of almost 20 years. We still laugh about stopping to "look at the stars" at the top of the pass.
20 years old, 70,000 miles. Spent 15 of those years in the shop.
Is a bearded guy telling me to get shaving stuff?
How the hell do you blow up a cummins diesel ? FINNEGAN. !!!!!
By the way, I definitely saw the Missouri sign lol
Damn... Even breaking down I friggen want that thing... So mint
Wow, Iowa looks a lot like Indiana. And Kansas. And Illinois. And Ohio....
is it lifted or stock Stock six doors seems legit
did you check to see if it has an oil cooler. most of the time when oil is being pushed into the coolant its the oil cooler do to the oil pressure is high 30 to 80 psi at that location & coolant pressure is lower 16 to 20 psi
Here we go again. Lemonade anyone?
You broke down right up the street from my house...
daily driver
Pushing dollar shave club with a full grown beard ..... Fucking brilliant
Cummins don't die, they just rest a little.
You' all may have a good time joking with folks but you both seem to be extremely immature for your assumed ages.
almost 10 minutos of nothing.... i wanted to see the truck...
Wish ford would dump the v8 power stroke and go back to the i6 Cummins engines
The 80s and 90s ford f600 f650 f700 f750 f800 f850 f900 f950 all had Cummins engines in them so did the Ford f8000 and f9000 semi trucks
This is why old Cummins and fords don’t mix. Better off pulling it out and putting a 6.7 powerstroke in
We don't even see to many commercial trucks like this Ford F800 medium duty with 2 tone white and red we've typically see that are not two tone
I admit I stole this from Jewel s who commented but this was funny. Fast forward to 22:25 to see what caused their breakdown and also listen to their conversation with AAA Roadside Assistance when they break down. The representative's reaction was great (and I'm a Ford fan).
SO HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY FOR THIS ONE AND THE OTHERS THAT DIDN'T WORK . THANKS
That back seat is a kidney shaker.
Man that was a waste of time to watch.
Love the fact you're still doing your own thing.
So you're talking about the gearing in the revving on that thing you got to understand you're basically driving a semi-truck it's a 7-speed you said so instead of starting in first start in 3rd and Skip to 5th and then use the rest of the gears those low-down gears are meant for towing something heavy
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 🤣😆
the video starts at 9:38

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!

Is a Fix or Repair Daily
