Cross-Country 4500 km MASSIVE Road Trip! Crazy Builds & Car Hoards! - COE Ramp Truck EP-32 

Bring it down to Texas for the Lone Star Round Up when the bugs are worked out, yall would enjoy the show!

Check the Torque convertor shield. Sometimes they get bent and rub on the flywheel. Remove it and try it again. It happens a lot. Just something I have found before. Also check for backed out torque convertor bolt.

Two talented guys having a road trip! Love the work, great content.

Having watched all three versions (almost) of this road trip I can honestly say each one is as entertaining as the other. I have to laugh some dead pan humour mixed in with boundless enthusiasm.. what’s not to like..

Brent is such a good guy, always smiling.

Thanks Karl, that was fun!

Take it easy Bro, hand crafting and making peoples dreams come true is a real thing. I know first hand sponsorships are like a godsend at first. 3 months later they display your builds as their own. Patent the shizz out of the stuff you do. 30 years later it will just be memories of the good ole days with nothing to back your word up.

Nice trip! Glad y’all had a nice and fun trip and learning experience! Keep up the good work !🎉

2:43 On a positive note: If you gotta be broke down by the side of the road, that's the best-looking rig you're going to see broke down by the side of the road.

My dad turned 100 years old in march this year, if he said "I am 76 years old, I don't think I have much time for my hobbies" he would have been dead at 80.

23:40 Hey Karl, that,s not a Moose, it's an Elk. Great video!

Hey City Slicker, That ain't no Moose.

i would disconnect the tourque converter and then start the engine to see if the noise goes away

Oh no.... A Canadian version of roadkill ..... loves it. .... Howdy from Oregon my favorite Canuck fab-tubers. Wish they had those plasma tables at an affordable price when I was still fabing, a torch or at the end plasma cutter. Love both your creations, take care, stay safe, cool and free Y'alllll !

That little S10 looks like a blast to drive. Glad he made it stick. Makes it so much more fun. Some beautiful scenery going across this wonderful country of ours. Looks like you and Brent had a great time. Look forward to more about the ramp truck woes. Be safe and stay well.

I shredded a few tarps before discovering canvas drop cloth for painting! Epic road trip fellas. I’ve enjoyed all the versions from both you and Brent @halfass customs too.

Burt and John’s place was so cool …man what an unbelievable place to find stuff like that piled up . What a cool trip guys …I’m a bit jealous 😂😜👍

Wish you could have showed some of the gas pumps. Great collection of old cars and parts there, cool guys.

Thank you Karl. Great Toad Trip video with Brent. 💯👊👍💕

Cool trip, that boat needs a collaboration with Bourbon woodworking and be enjoyed on your lake.

Glad the road trip still happened and you guys are safe. Keep us updated on the COE. Aloha🤙🏼

That widow maker is a thing of beauty ain't she? 💚🇬🇧🌱 Great road trip guys, shame about the ramp truck but that's unforseen & unfortunate but at least you caught it while still local...x

Great trip, beautiful country, good people, and cool stuff.

Love being part of these road trips,Canada is beautiful.

Great video Karl and Brent Great Flag hanging in. Jeff’s shop Nice Elk Bert and John Have some nice collection of vintage cars and parts Awesome road-trip

Looks like the rest of the trip went well for you boys. Awesome video. It was great catching up. Stay safe out there!

Make it Kustom day! Yay!

Great road trip thanks for the ride along it was a fun video with beautiful views. Been a long time since I've been in Canada. 72 now probably won't make it back again? But loved the stops along the way nice old iron and the people are very nice , love the spider hot rod so cool unbelievable amount of labor he put into it and all by ✋ you.

Always enjoy your posts. Another good one. Road trips, (from time to time), are one of the best unwinding tools around.'

I am going with Torque converter . It is a bugger when this sort of problem raises its head. You are making the right call not to push on as heavy towing cost is sooooo expensive. At least you still have the large trailer and the truck.(Ute)

Thanks for showing some awesome scenery

What a fun day that was! I love how you guys mummified the table with duct tape🤣.

I’m loving this !!

"Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, at least they'll find you handy" 😁 Since you're going through Saskatoon, on the way back you should dig up Kyle @Carter Auto Restyling. Check out his chicken truck project.

Looks like fun--even with problems!😎

Great video thanks Karl.

Love the fastcut table. It's on my wishlist

Great trip, road trips are fun with a buddy. My tarp flew apart when I brought home my FastCut a few years ago. If I did it again I'd shrink wrap the table with moving blankets and then tarp it and shrink wrap the tarp. The galvanizing on my side panels got all scuffed up from the tarp flapping. At least you guys go a nice dry trip.

Another good one 👍👍

Love love love the widow maker, fekin awesome.

So sorry about your truck, I feel your pain! Gotta make a pitstop in Lethbridge, AB on your way home. It’s Street Machine Weekend!!! One of the best car shows around. We are headed there this weekend hope to see you there.

great roadtrip!

Pretty cool trip. FastCut for the win. Bullwinkle and Elk look different. That was an elk in velvet. In my experience elk will run from you but moose just stand and eat unless you disturb them. Seen both out in western USA. Elk in Colorado and Moose in Wyoming.

Thanks for the trip

Nice truck 🚚 🛻 👌 👍 👏 😎

(Transmission being repaired...) "There's that missing 10mm socket." 🤣🤣🤣

Sascatchatownie cool ride along and I second the flex plate crack easy to look at with a camera

Yes Sir!!!

Get under that thing with a mechanics stethoscope and figure out where the noise is coming from first. I would check the starter first, and then move forward and back to get a better idea of where it is. I had a similar issue come up with a "whirring" rubbing sound. I hoped it was the transfer case chain, but the stethoscope said "nope, near the front of the transmission." Sure enough when I pulled the pump out of the transmission, the first clutch pack on top had been assembled upside down by some idiot (me), which allowed a steel plate to get up into the snap ring groove. $0 fix, just the pain of pulling it out and apart again.

Did you leave your pliers in the transmission again? 😁

Man I could smell that diesel 🤣🤣🤣awesome build

I've been watching for the ramp truck along the #1 here in MB, I don't feel bad now for not seeing it. I was looking for the wrong truck. hahaha.

A sign of true friendship is breaking the Fart barrier. Lol

Check your e brake drum, You have felt a braking issue since you first brought it out. It is also possible that when the Drum E brake housing wasnt aligned Id start there but also put a trans line gauge and see what your line pressure is

Sounds like something in the trans pump? Look forward to hearing what it ends up being. Still a great time for you guys it seems!

Hey Karl. I’m a 3rd generation metal fabricator ( My.son is 4th generation). My father now calls me a woodworker. Same thing, you calculate your length to your stock, but with timber, you pick the best section of stock to fit the purpose. Hope this helps Ps, you have to get the properties of your timber.

Check the brake mounted on the tail of the transmission.

If you were close to Edmonton, my shop is 45 minutes north in Pickardville. Stubs Rod Shop

You need an 18 wheeler to haul this trailer queen!

I so envy you guys that live in such nice places for driving. Here in flat ass Florida it's pretty boring to drive which is why I end up focusing completely on racing and not just building fun drivers.

Bent inter output shalf going into the pump its rubbing the outer shalf

Hola buenos días me gusta ría trabaja con ustedes . Vivo en Lakeland Florida.

As the squeal is there on tickover, I think that it's the torque converter.

I have a 97 ranger I bought it’s fourth transmission. Didn’t bother installing it that was almost 20 years ago. The problem it had with the rebuilt and two after that. Rear seal go and blow out all the fluid and it would scream like it had straight cut gears till the tranny couldn’t go anymore. I think the drive shaft is/was out of balance to blow all the fluid out the rear seal on more then one tranny. Plan for a 5.0.

Nice Video. #STAYSAFE #PHILLYPHILLY 🇺🇸

Loose bolt on flywheel or against torque converter was what I meant. Maybe leading to converter not being fully seated and causing rubbing impeller hub or tang.

Sounds like a cracked Flex plate to me.

Also check for a cracked flex plate (flywheel).

I'm way over due for a road trip. Thanks. Like a great Canadian (Red Green) says, "Carpe ductum" seize the tape....

Mine did the same. NEW parts and flywheel and starter didn't like each other and unable to shim and inspection plate was after market and shit as well. PS Liked your wearing the besoke shirt. Saw you at the Hotrod show at Rosehill hill last year. Owe me a sausage roll lol

Had a truck come in with a similar sound. Was the pcv system done improperly and the vac in the crankcase was sucking the seals in making a similar sounds. Run it with the oil cap off if the sound stops that might be it. Hope so, as it’s an easy fix!

sounds like the pump in the trans maybe bearing

Chech the flywheel disconnect converter from flywheel .

Yea! we love road trips , sorry about your "trans" I think Citroen 2CV came out with a 4x4 , it had one engine and gearbox in the front and one in the back . Maybe a future project?

Can crosscut do an engine block? Try a JDM Kei car F6A block. Twin head gaskets, with the homebrew engine block spacer. This can only be done with a suzuki F6a engine, as it has a timing belt, huge play and array of adjustable timing sprockets. Do this and you will need test Pilots, the fastest cars I played a hand in building I never drove.

I just spent 8 hrs fabbing and installing c- notches and it sure would of been nice to have a fast cut machine.

Sounds like cam bearing to me…heard the same on a lot of LS engines when I worked at the chevy dealer

Tis the sound of Chevy parts that are trying to do real truck stuff! 🤣

So what did you pick up and load on the way back?

Seat belts, seat belts, seat belts!

Brent looks like he could be a retired ufc fighter or something! 😂

Cool trip! You guys sure have fun! Take care.

👍🏼👍🏼

You need to do proper diagnostic burnout ! The squealing noise could be the PCV system, next time it makes the noise take the oil filler cap off If it stops the PCV is stuck or the hoses are routed incorrectly.

Brett was way ahead of you Karl lol watched this one a few days ago ! Let us know what was wrong with the ramp truck

Flex plate scraping against the starter tail or bolts.

👍

Please check engine crank case ventilation. Bmw has same noise. Just try PLEASE

Had a starter in an ls do that. Starts fine, and would quit while accellerating. Return spring in solenoid broke.so drive was floating against ring gear. Horrible noise that would come and go.

I had a flexiplate make the same noise it had a fine crack between the bolt holes

Always have spare drivetrain parts ready.

Because it still drives ok and it seems to have the same RPM sound as the engine I am guessing it is the Torque converter oil Pump that b is your Squeak. You could not have picked a much hotter time to drive up to kamloops through the Canyon. Litton and Spence’s should be over 40 Degrees C today. Drive safe and Enjoy the Scenery. PS to both of you Canadians… You have to Google what a Moose is Because that was NOT a Moose. A Huge Difference Between a Moose and an Elk, which is what that was Karl.

you check the water pump? Squeaking, overheating?

I'd check the water pump

Bummer about the ramp truck but I’m still loving the content!!

It will eventually clearance itself.

Is it possible you didn't totally seat the torque converter, and possibly shoved the ears back?

Probably not enough space between the flywheel and converter putting pressure on the pump

Release bearing? Does the squeak disawhen you depress the clutch pedal?

Is it definitely on the back end of the engine ? It sounds like a harmonic balancer coming apart . I once had a squeaking / rattling noise in an engine , it would come & go . When it was quiet, it ran cool , but when it started squealing it got hot . Turns out the impeller was loose on the back of the water pump . it would get loose on the shaft , the water would get hot . then the impeller would get hot , expand & grab the shaft again . then pump water . cool itself. then get loose again . Crazy !! I don't trust anything any more !
