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.

Sooo maybe I missed it... but what was this truck originally made for?
Well now I'm not buying a 5.9 Cummins.

Do you ever get anything that doesn't fall apart on the trip home? lol I haven't seen all your videos but when I do there is always disaster.

Power Driven Diesel. Seems those are the go to guys for Cummins parts. I watch their channel all the time, great info there.
Your an evil pair of fellows to your friends.
I Live in Iowa! Which is honestly what sold me on the KFS beside the general. I Love this!

Probably karma from that shirt you wear negatively putting down the Gremlin. HA, "F"ound "O"n the "R"oad "D"ead fits you perfectly.
I dig the truck!!
Not much wrong there is a bungie cord holding in the dip stick that tells me run major blowby
That's why you don't put a Cummins in a Ford
Why do I feel like Demolition Ranch needs this as a civilian version of Able?
I was in strawberry point Iowa at the same time. It was brutally cold bro!
Lol diesel doesnt gel at -10.
skip to 9:35 !!!
Basically a pint sized semi
The Cummins was so upset it was in a Ford that it committed suicide.
Doyougergechicktosoapuphertits as well , fromdollar shave if not th at is abit cheap. .
Cummins engines torque drops off heavily after 1800 RPM. They don't rev well.
Who put a cummins in that Ford? It would have survived if it was a powerstroke. I've never had any issues with powestoke diesel engines.
Dude, I love ya right, but the audio is SOOOOOOO quiet lol... even the auto subtitles can't pick up what you're saying & my laptop won't go louder. This one is frustrating me more than ever because the kids are so damn noisy in the background but yeah, more loud please for us old fogeys who have used & abused their ears to the limits and more haha
Hyping a razor when you have a beard.....STUPID!
more truck less clown
23:26 “uh oh...”
Is it possible that due to the extreme weather conditions the engine expanded and shrank to fast and caused had failure?
Not sure if you check these but I'll give you guys a 76 be superbeetle for some work on my ranchero 👍
Hmm getting a cold at the beginning of the year 😅🤣
On VALENTINES DAY?! You must have the world's most understanding wife...
What's the progress on this truck
So, basically they buy a truck that they saw was leaking coolant and drove it several hundred miles without checking the coolant level and blew it up.....
Paint looks like old U-HAUL trucks.
Looks like a truck that a guy named Bobby Duncan out of Doe Run Missouri builds.
I would love to have seen the face of the tow truck driver!
So the 20 year old frankentruck didn't make the 900 mile trip, shocker. It's always nice to take a break from your own bad decisions to watch someone else's. Seriously funny video though, thanks guys.
I'm dead...🤣🤣🤣
as a car guy, and taught drivers ed, you are one of the crappiest examples of what not to do while driving. but anywho .
BS!
the title sounds like every vehicle my brother ever purchased
hey Finnegan, as interesting as your adventures are, you really need to improve some aspects of your videos man.... maybe speak louder or invest in a bunch of cordless / Lapel mics coz I can barely hear u guys on my laptop speakers... And no they're not bad, I can hear every other video just fine...
Need a new episode and update on this bad boi
