Buying a military cargo truck 

If it ain’t broke, fix it!

Ready for the high cost gas bills.

Is it really that high in mil trucks compared to civilian trucks? If so, wouldn't fuel economy be the right thing for the army (less overall fuel to transport to the troops)?

@@97Lukas90 nah we get free fuel in exchange for selling freedom and democracy

😂😂😂😂 that's Andrew for ya

dude has his priorities right

It's his lab inspector.

@@zanec1780, Ha...Lab inspector !

very true

😂😂😂

lmao, i watch him too

OMG. GTOger is still alive???

Thanks. I got a d7 with a winch. And got 2 more containers up there.

@@AndrewCamarata Hi Andrew, On the hill climb, 43:00, using the strap to dodge the tree by putting tension on the tongue and then reversing was sweet. Moments like that, combined with the problem solving process leading up to them, could possibly have been more highlighted in the video for my taste (but maybe it would be boring to most)(it reminded me of the time I moved my HMMVW about 6 feet sideways in the snow - over 3 full days - using come-alongs and hydraulic jacks mounted to custom sleds haha)(air in fuel lines, didn’t know the fix, but had to move it somehow lol) PS. Good jumps Cody 💪

39:00 o😮 our own

🙄 Oh he'll return whatever he rented on time but with "slight" mods ! 🤣🤣🤣

@@marcryvon He just made it a little bit better :-)

He just buys the equipment he needs to rent

that must be why he just buys everything

😂😂😂

you must be new here then :D that was a pretty casual project for camarata property maintenance

*Andrew: "this hitch is bad, I'm moving it back to the end of the truck and clearing the air hoses."* *ARMY: "We spent $28M with consultants trying to figure out why every one of our trailers was dented. We never knew until today.*

@@1nvisible1 😂

You must have missed when he took a chainsaw to the dash of his truck to install a new stereo. Just hang on and watch. He gives no fucks and just gets stuff done.

carlrogers that is high praise coming from you. You have a pretty cool channel as well. It doesn't have the Camarata insanity, but you do some cool stuff as well.

It's a pintle hook.

eyhyh 😢

I have used those on the railroad, they are not torqued, they are pulled hydraulically and then crimped on the bolt. And you are correct, they are not intended to ever come off!

@@billbarnes1043 I'm sure there are probably different types of similar fastener. The ones used on aircraft, and I have seen used other times had a hex-head on the the nut end and were designed to shear off once you had reached the specified torque. Once that hex-head sheared off, you were left with that barrel portion covering the threads.

@@themetalmaiden7462 I have used similar fasteners that there is a male torques on the end that is held in place and the nut torqued all from the same side. I used them on n a five million gallon water storage tank.

that's what I thought, some type of huck bolt.

Yeah, I liked that, "Let's try the hill. Oh, we need to move the rock" 🤣

Pulling that trailer on its own back down was hilarious

Strongest memories, anyway.

Imagine if it was late....night footage!

Just because it’s a bad idea, doesn’t mean it won’t be fun.

The abuse lol well can’t see it from my house if it’s a borrowed piece 😂😂😂. That’s why you borrow things so you can learn without breaking yours.

Would help a lot if that truck had a functioning 4wd system that locked all 4 tires together

@@repairman1019 not all were built with lockers so it’s functions fine. Just not as efficient as others.

When will you upload a new video Matt :-)?

I like how he almost threw his friend out the truck buy yanking the trailer after being told to hold.....

Agree, anything for the Foreman !

@Stupid Liberals yea you’re right.

Lorry and dog have the same paint job.

@Stupid Liberals 😂😂😂

He needs to listen to you

He's not going to listen to you . If the old owner or operator ever advises you of a fault or problem at point of sale you usually find out the problem is 5 -10 times worse .

@@lennydabits8216 dude need to learn how to drive first hahaha

No big deal. (Sarcasm) Let's ignore it. (Sarcasm)

excellent hahahahaha!

Exactly! Where it sits parked and they PM it every 90 days just to give the lads something to do

@@Digitalsharecropper 9 A0c Z 8 0 Ml L..meh 9 9

this resembles like the action thriller "The Wages of Fear", luckily with less human casulties

The funny thing is, they damn held good ! 🤣🤣🤣

It held well. 🙏😠🤠🤠🤠😵🥰

I was waiting for the chainsaw stereo installation of modifications.

how did this get 163+ likes... there wasnt a weld made on the hitch at all, it was just moved and bolted upto preexisting holes

@@AndrewBrowner 17:35 he welded tie down rings to hitch plate

I think this truck is like "man, military life was boring. Sitting in a straight line with 25 other trucks, neatly in a row, mirror against mirror, for years and getting to go down the freeway at 50 miles an hour for 4 hours every 2 weeks. Finally life starts and I get to do what I was made for, playing in the mud and hauling stuff, yeeehaaaa"

@@silentepsilon888 It is the "dream" of free boys!

His other trucks just go “first time?”

They lied

That truck has like the opposite experience of "You're in the army now".

Not sure after this vid lol

@@leeholland5827 you do mean Around i hope lol

He just beat the shit out of it LOL

@@Mythrunes but at the same time takes better care of it than anyone else would.

@@Mythrunes kinda yeah still in 1 piece so everything's ok

especially when he tied off the trailer to an adjacent tree. i was like no way i do that all the time in snow runner...

Well, for one I DID ! I knew he was up with something sketchy ! As always. 🤣🤣🤣

Mud runners the game in real life

These videos are always good value

I love it, I was laughing alway thought it. Andrew you are my hero mate🙏🇦🇺👍👍👍

Definitely not click bait

Lmao pull it more violently!

I prefer the ol thrower down method but that’s just me 😋

I laughed at this comment

Nice to see you here

That's the best plan!

Put THAT on a t-shirt!

even matt would be impressed.

Yeah they sure could use his ropes!

We'll get 'em out

I can't understand how this doesn't have four wheel drive. Or maybe it does and he just didn't activate it. Plus, when the truck wouldn't move, why didn't he just unload the forklift, move the truck, then reload the forklift?

It does have 4 wheel drive and it was activated. You could see the passenger side front wheel turning.

@@jimthesoundman8641 I don't understand why heck they didn't put diff locks on this... All military trucks should have diff locks

@@sl06bhytmar I'm almost positive that this one has a rear diff lock, whether it's a system or operator(s) issue it unknown.

@@jimthesoundman8641 If you ever worked in the woods you'd know the answer- rain shorts out the thinking a bit.

That big honkin rouond hitch has been since forever. Andrew mentioned skinny. I think that is the solution. Just a few inches of extension pushes that A frame a little further away. Radius and all that. REO. Dang. I know where there is several acres of valuable historic vehicles in AZ. When the old guy dies it's all going up for auction. 'course maybe nobody cares anymore about old time trucks. Anyway, what a great story to watch. Of course, when you get fired up about a renovation it's time to stop, review and then start making plans that includes notes about what you did so you can put it back together again. That's how you do it. No truer words. This is so much fun to watch that I need to shut up and just watch.

I know this an old comment, but this issue was fixed in a revision of the truck about a year after Andrew's was produced.

That was one his best ever.

Definitely!

Seeing him butcher it was painful to watch

@@valrabellkeys9867 how tf do y’all expect him to know about shit like that?

And it shouldn't be ignored.

Do you mind explaining further? You obviously understand why it happens.

There is coolant passages in the head surrounding the injector and valve seats. The cup is a brass or bronze cup the injector sits into it and seals it from oil and coolant getting into the cylinder. Eventually the higher pressure of the fuel will sand blast the cup to leak lots of fuel into the coolant. And if let go, can wear a groove in the head permanently ruining it or once it’s gets wore enough coolant will enter the cylinder and can hydro lock the engine, bend a rod, etc.

@@Freakingstang And, the diesel fuel will attack the sleeve O rings, for starters, and to fix that the sleeves will need to come out. Also it will attack any rubber hose and seals, like water pump seal, and a myriad of other things. Fix them now.

Fix it now while you can ‘cuz you gonna fix it later when you don’t want to - like on that muddy road. Fixing it now is cheaper than later.

"It's fine." VGG rocks.

“Just gonna pretend I didn’t see that”.

He better get new cups and O rings in that cat or it won’t be a great motor for long.

I had the same convo with my inner self yesterday too lmao

I thought the same thing

Me too. Just finished watching an older video - et voila!

Me also

Wow, want a cookie

Sometimes violence is the answer.

😂😂 Andrew is a trip.

I think it was a hidden forest road landscaping video :)

ikr, i was like how the hell he gonna re-engineer military grade hitch... he manipulates heavy metal like a child does play-doh

Nothing in this video looked easy lol

@@fomora12 that’s your ignorant opinion. There like assholes, everyone’s has one.

S H O P

prolly googles the colour and buys a few cans as he buys lmaooo

Shop supplies

his videos are often made over weeks or months and then he combines each project start to finish for our viewing pleasure. some youtubers release videos on a time line, he's by project.

I’m not sure but you might not want to ignore that if you get too much diesel in the coolant and rupture a rad hose, you could have a pretty big/bad fire on your hands. Perhaps a potential way for the driver & passengers to die, burnt in a truck fire.

The injector cup can fail causing antifreeze to get into the cylinder,eventually will wreak havoc on everything.kinda a pain to fix,but nothing AC can't handle

@@brianmadden6080 saw this happen on Detroit diesels series 50 and 60s at my job had to pull the head to change the cups on those

@@brianmadden6080 injector O rings aren't far behind for eating oil leading to eventual runaway engine.

Agreed, injector cups are no fun to fix but when they come knocking you gotta answer

But it appears to be a controlled madness.

"whoa whoa whoa its caught up on a tree.....C R A C K !!! .......oh nevermind, carry on"

It'll be fine. He's got half a can of tan spray paint left over from fixing the hitch, remember?

Mud is not match for AC

Andrew wasn’t having any of it. Seemed a bit frustrated, but wasn’t going to give up. That was some good entertainment.

No rush to come back. But, your definitely missed man.

The truck was already retired judging from the children seats and sound insulation everywhere. The previous owner put a lot of work into it. Who is probably shocked if he ever sees this video lol.

43:23 That is incredibly dangerous, if the chain. snaps at the truck, it would hit Andrew in the back of the head and kill him. 45:58 and here it almost happened.

@@spinningchurro Not "almost" and not dangerous. When chains snap they don't fly upwards that high. It would only be dangerous if Andrew was downhill so the chain was above him

@@johannagel4520 I was going to say! ,, When chains stretch? .. they just don't spring back hardly at all. not like cables / 'wire rope'.

My thoughts exactly.

Also I expected this truck would have diff lock

I'm not an expert on military trucks, but seeing how the rear tire spun out, a diff lock could have been useful, too.

Those rarely work lol 😂

better tires with deeper lugs is probably also where AC is going

Your problem is the trailer tongue is shorter than military trailers. The fix is on you. It's not the truck.

I'm crying laughing at this scene! He gave it a good shot and then busted out the torch!

Best comment in here lmao

This be a good comment to reference the fortune of drought and wildfire.

Also "it doesn't need any work, it's ready to operate" sounds a bit odd for a thing that Andrew bought :D

*Immediately finds a road he can't get up comfortably*

They are on almost all the semi truck and medium duty trucks. BTW A long time ago I use to haul the new trucks out of that there.

Pretty common on aircraft too, used to get a close tolerance fit and avoid the creeping and fretting you get with bolted structures, when I replace them with bolts I have to ream the holes then fit bolts with oversized shanks.

He had to test the new rig! 😂

XD right your aired up to all hell in mudd with ctis... use it... also can't believe that does not have locking diffs?

This was my thought too. Those trucks can tow at stupid low pressures. And be fine especially on that terrain.

That was my thought also!!!!! Drop the tyre pressure Andrew is wat I was hoping for but I guess pull it more violently can have the same effect in the end Ha!!!!!

I think Andrew knew about the CTIS (mentioned it at 1:41). Not sure why he didn't use it for mud, would've been useful.

When you have an 8 ton dozer spinning the tracks in front of it, tire pressure isnt going to make a difference anymore

I don't think a wooden rope bridge will hold it , an underated great movie

Andrew is the GOAT ! Job done no matter what..

@@poplaurentiu4148 goat

Keeps butting his head till it's done

So we’ll put. I couldn’t believe it.

I'm absolutely certain that a man of this professional caliber made sure to familiarize himself with the entirety of the official operator's manual before operating the vehicle.

@@IncredibleMD For that matter, i'm guessing that the central tire inflation system might be broken

@@IncredibleMD Indeed, sir Andrew is a scholar and a gentlemen.

Andy is playing the game "Snowrunner" but in real life.

Werner Herzog would be proud of him.

Just did the cones in my 3126 crane truck and have done injectors before they are very expensive engines to fix the 6 injectors alone were $5500 from cat then put labor on top

@@nephilly87 jesus holy shit, wonder why the previous owner sold it lmfao

@@nephilly87 that's why I'll never buy cat. Overpriced junk. Their old stuff was amazing but honestly the newer stuff is complete trash. Not worth it. I would have sold it too.

HE IS GOING TO DESTROY THAT ENGINE WITH THEM INJECTOR CUPS LEAKING .. HE NEEDS TO RESEARCH & LEARN ABOUT DIESEL ENGINES... ADAM IS A BIG KID ...

@@tammylott921 Adam has zero fucks to give

That's what I wondering... can you not use the ATIS/CTIS to lower the pressure for better traction?

@@neonhomer no you can and that’s the whole purpose! I’ve never been stuck before with CTIS.

Put it in "mode" then arrow down into 1st (truck normally starts off in 2nd). That will lock the transfercase. Diffs are still open though. Also, like mentioned above, air down your CTIS

The sidewalls looked pretty flexible in a couple of scenes. Do you think he already did that?

I'd try it at least ! But, we must say that even the dozer had a hard time in that slick mud !

and Tire Pressure adjustments?

@@nightsailor1 that’s the cross country mode on the Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS). He can also use sand mode to really deflate the tires.

Yeah, the video description mentions "mode" but was that realized post filming or during? Looked like pretty full tires.

There are. I just retired from 19 years working for a Stewart and Stevenson vendor for their Sealy, Tx, facility where this truck was built. They all had the cab tire pressure adjustment equipment. Look closely at the hubs.

I do miss difflockers, though. But in these later conditions that wouldn't have made a difference (chuckles)...

Andrew got H8 cert.

@@elmerexpress They definitely do have diff locks and he had them engaged at least once. As u said that did not help.

@@ebutuoyebutouy I would imagine these trucks also have air locking differentials right? I'd be surprised if they didn't since most off-road military trucks seem to. I guess Andrew has found stuff like that in the truck yet, it would have made all the jobs a lot easier.

Or maybe wait until the road dries out.

maybe there's something with wheels diff lock

And add a load on the bed of the truck because it’s too light.

How about full locks

Yes which camera 🎥 did you use for it ? Even when attaching the trailer side to the Reo, it's insane !

His idiot helpers were not very helpful.

At least they won't get all smashed up for no reason

@@allseriousness :)

They come with one, NATO pintle hitch

Either that or we would hear “Fire in the hole! And something get blown up.”
