- Buying a 1997 Stewart and Stevenson flatbed cargo truck:
0:00 intro
4:14 hook up to a flatbed trailer
7:10 Mess up trailer then re-engineer truck hitch
20:30 Successfully tow trailer and do small digging job
27:08 Tow fork lift and get truck stuck (has to be in "mode" for 4x4)
30:25 Hook up to military equipment trailer then fix its brakes
33:15 load shipping container on trailer then try to move it up a muddy driveway, and have the truck stuck for a few hours - Авто/Мото
“This truck doesn’t need any work.” Immediately starts unbolting shit
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
I really like that Andrew's first order of business was the comfortable transport of his building supervisor.
dude has his priorities right
It's his lab inspector.
@@zanec1780, Ha...Lab inspector !

Wow, that turned into a cluster real fast. Reminded me of some of the construction sites I've been on when everything just turns to sh*t and you spend all day trying to undo something, and at the end of the day you're right where you started but with a muddy mess. You got subscription! Keep it up. Love the truck.
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
Long ago when I was driving an M35A2 with attached communication trailer, we were instructed to NEVER back up using the military pendlehook system, that it was not engineered to deal with that (we also did not have any sort of cap over the hook part) so we always determined clearances so we could drive forward and make u-turns. Looks like you did a good job of modifying the rear end to accommodate the necessary turn radius and airhose placement. I applaud!
It's a pintle hook.
eyhyh 😢

“Let’s try the hill”. Terrible ideas make the best memories.
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.
You should make a custom dog bed/pad in the middle for Cody! That way he’s comfy and can curl up on those long rides
Agree, anything for the Foreman !
@Stupid Liberals yea you’re right.
Lorry and dog have the same paint job.
@Stupid Liberals 😂😂😂
Dude, you are AWESOME!!!! You have every machine and device known to mankind AND you know how to use/operate them. Props from Albany, NY!!!!
Nobody's talking about how clean that truck is. I cannot believe how clean of a unit you got. Good for you man enjoy it
“Pull it more violently” may be your best quote ever! Sounds like you should put that on a t-shirt.
Lmao pull it more violently!
I gotta admit, moving that hitch plate back and relocating those glad hands were really good ideas! 👍🇺🇲
I started watching when Andrew said he got himself a new truck. I stepped away a bit for some calls. I return to see him "re-engineering" the new truck's hitch. I love it!
Best video yet!! They are all good, but real world unplanned problems being overcome makes this one better. I like to see the extent you take the machines to and the resourceful problem solving.
Just an innocent title.
“Buying a military cargo truck”
Who would have guessed it was going to be an epic
“ man & machine(s) vs THE WORLD
thanks for sharing
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
This is possibly the most insane video on RUclips... the recklessness, the ambition, the commitment to seeing it through to the end. I loved it.
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.
first one of your videos i have seen i was amazed at how you saw the problems and corrected them . great skills you have
I've got a buddy that buys those old military trucks does a lot of repairing on them and then sells them. You've got a lot of talent working on machinery!
Now, THAT was a great video! Some "re-engineering", some excavator work, some off roading, some white knuckle excitement on the mountain trail! Thanks again for taking us along for the ride. 👍
Definitely!
That truck is like, "All the other trucks said civilian life was easy!!"
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".
this Man, I swear to god. nothing is safe and no task is too much. what an inspiration
You picked a good day for this project rain, mud perfect!
I'd recommend you to buy some big chains for all four tires on that truck. It will help getting through those muddy forest paths a lot easier. You can even get studded chains for even better traction in some circumstances. While I was in the Finnish military we experimented with going through different kinds of muddy forest trails with and without chains and I can say the chains make it a night and day difference
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.
Have the injector cups done as soon as possible. You'll end up with fuel in your coolant and oil. You'll have to replace all the coolant lines due to the diesel ballooning them and if too much gets into the oil You'll be washing out your cylinder liners and all the bearings.
He needs to listen to you
ruclips.net/video/_DKJYkXQ6pU/видео.html&ab_channel=AdeptApe
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)
This truck is an instant icon to me. What a bad-ass. Can't wait to see more!
idk how i've never seen this channel before this might be the most incredible vlog style video on youtube.
The military spec trailer: -"I miss my life in the army"... Camarata's Army truck: -"Yeah, tell me about it, never been so scared!"
That truck and trailer be like "This guy is crazy, can we _please_ go back to the military now, where it's safe?"
Exactly! Where it sits parked and they PM it every 90 days just to give the lads something to do

A brilliant upload. Loved it. More, more, more. What a determination to get the job done. Loved that dozer.
Good man Andrew keep all your great videos coming I love them in particular regarding and servicing them greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 keep well
"We just need to pull on it more violently". Wes is crying in his beer now.
That was one his best ever.
why do i feel like every rental place withing 100miles has a picture of this guy behind the counter.
🙄 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
😂😂😂
Andrew I was amazed that such inadequate ring hitch and other attachment placement was unmistakably problematic but had been left that way!
Your solution was so logical, inexpensive, effective and relatively easy to apply that I find it incredible an organization as vast, well funded and resourceful as US Military Transport Command was content to adapt to and work with such a defect instead of simply modifying any affected vehicles the same way!
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.
Dude, nice post and superb editing. Like the problem identification and resolution throughout. Keep up the excellent work!!
Moves the hitch back, then proceeds to test the integrity of his welds with a bulldozer.
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
And THIS is why I don’t lend out my trailers 🤣🤣👍🏼 we’ve all had days like this tho! Caught in the rain, things keep getting worse, chains are breaking. Soaked through to your under britches mud up past your knees… great memories to look back on but not so fun in the moment! You got some good friends to hang it out with you till the end! 👍🏼👍🏼
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.....
This is really great. Your self reliant capabilities are impressive.
1st time ever commenting. Pintle hitch is adjustable! Stowed in for aircraft loading. Love ya channel. If you don't know, ask.
Seeing him butcher it was painful to watch
@@valrabellkeys9867 how tf do y’all expect him to know about shit like that?
You know you are up for a good time when Andrew goes "I think we have to re-engineer this". 😁😁😬👍🥇
ikr, i was like how the hell he gonna re-engineer military grade hitch... he manipulates heavy metal like a child does play-doh
Matt's Offroad Recovery: "So we got a call from NY, there's some sort of Military Vehicle towing a Container up a mountain?"
even matt would be impressed.
Yeah they sure could use his ropes!
We'll get 'em out
banana power to the rescue
Greatest colab ever
Great video, love the Stewart and Stevenson flatbed cargo truck,
Felt like I was watching real life snow runner in the last bit with the army truck and shipping container. Great video!
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...
I literally just said 5 minutes ago in my head, “been a while, should be a new video from Andrew out soon” LOL
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
Andrew: "We didn't get very far."
Cameraman: "What's the plan? "
Andrew: "We're going to pull it more violently."
Sometimes violence is the answer.
😂😂 Andrew is a trip.
I think it was a hidden forest road landscaping video :)
Love watching your videos, you have a great workshop, proper tools, skills etc.
Your problem is the trailer tongue is shorter than military trailers. The fix is on you. It's not the truck.
That's straight-up crazy, the best action movie on RUclips! OMG, I could not stop watching. GREAT VIDEO!!!
About to to this same thing tomorrow. I want more containers up there.
This is the luckiest military truck in the world to go to an owner like Andrew.
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
if the air system on those hubs work, lowering the tire pressure when stuck on that hill would have helped a lot.
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
man I've forgotten how satisfying your videos are. Just getting shit done. Awesome video!
Well done, I thought I was the only fool that always has to fix other mistakes, now I see there are more of us. Good job.
Last 5 minutes of the video: Andrew's friends underestimating how much Andrew does not give a fuck.
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.
There are times when I’m convinced that Andrew is a mechanical genius. And then there are videos like these…
Andrew is the GOAT !
Job done no matter what..

3116 CAT - probably due for injector cups, overhead set, and governor tune up. Keep an eye on the fuel in the coolant issue, it will cost you a water pump at a minimum if nothing is done. Awesome video as always!
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.

Sounds like a Roadkill / Vice Grip garage crossover episode in the works.
"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.
Those fasteners you were trying to remove look like the same type that are used on aircraft structures called "Hi Lok" fasteners. They're designed to be torqued once and not come loose, which is why you couldn't get them off easily.
Great job on moving that frame assembly back to where you needed it. Good to know information.
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.
I like the way you are always working with machine's moving up and down,very cool.
This truck: Oh God i 'm not in the army anymore. Time to be retired
Adrew: Let 's go in a mud battle
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'.
Isn't it funny how he always seems to have the exact right spray paint color for everything he modifies.

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.
This is what ElectroBoom would be with heavy equipment.
very true
😂😂😂
lmao, i watch him too
OMG. GTOger is still alive???
I have no idea how I got to this video but I watched this entire thing without stopping not even realizing it was almost an hour long. So entertaining!
Thanks, I have a bunch of other videos like this.
"we're going to have to pull it more violently". Now that's what I came for!
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!
When diesel leaks into the coolant it means your injector cups are failing.
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.
The last 20 minutes if the content I live for haha. Pure, utter chaos.
You sound exactly like King Missile and I love it. Awesome truck my man. Making me want one now.
Lighting up a blowtorch, is the international sign of ''I'm done playing''!
This video started innocently, but slowly escalated into a mud-filled horror show. The 1977 movie "Sorcerer" comes to mind.
I don't think a wooden rope bridge will hold it , an underated great movie
You’re amazing. You just do what you have to do, without hesitation. You make everything look so easy. Love your channel and all your projects. Keep them coming. Once again, I’m very sorry about Levi. Maybe build some padding in the truck where those two seats used to be, so Cody could lay down. Just an idea. Take care of yourself.
Nothing in this video looked easy lol
@@fomora12 that’s your ignorant opinion. There like assholes, everyone’s has one.
Great video, thanks for sharing, skillfull, creative, talented what a great guy to share your experience and skill with us. With those hard work a 2way hand held radio would be handy when maneuvering through those mud and difficult terrain. 👍👍👍
"Gotta do everything myself." -Andrew's Bulldozer
Video quality is just insane. Parts feel like "documentary" Loving every minute of this!
Yes which camera 🎥 did you use for it ? Even when attaching the trailer side to the Reo, it's insane !
I like the way you fix what ever got damage aged ASAP good job ( from Canada )
Container was built May 2004, first commodity shipped in this container was Dried Spratts! Great video brotha.
Those fasteners are called “Huk fasteners”. They are pressed in, not screwed in. We used them on International trucks when I worked at the plant in Springfield, Ohio. That’s the only way to get them off is to cut them off and then unscrew them. Hold really well but are a pain when you need to do maintenance.
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.
Well that escalated quickly 😂👍
No rush to come back. But, your definitely missed man.
**CODY IS SUCH A HAPPY SOUL = HE ALWAYS MAKES MY DAY WHILE WATCHING YOUR VIDEO!!!**
Man... that was a TON of work! Your trusty dozer sure earned his keep!
I love his reasoning for buying a military truck, “I couldn’t get up someone’s driveway comfortably”....hahahaha
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*
Yes... the moment we've all been waiting for. Hope you are well Andrew
Looks very similar to our older British Army Leyland DAF T244

His idiot helpers were not very helpful.
Andrew loves getting stuck just so he can figure his way out of it. He knew that as soon as it started raining but he always goes for it. Entertaining as hell!
Most people: how am I going to get my biggest truck unstuck
Andrew: let’s go get the bulldozer

Best comment in here lmao
"Doesn't need any work." *Proceeds to light up the torch and yank the rear end with an excavator*
Did anyone notice the truck didn't brake down even after all it went thru. Try any of that with a run of the mill truck.
@@charlesreohr6236, Right ? Be broke down in 2 minutes !
This was an awesome video. Learned alot in this one! Thank you!
The diesel in the coolant is more than likely from leaking injector cups on those Cats. It's fairly common repair. Great vids!
That's the first time I have seen a road grated using a cargo container. Brilliant!! lol
Graded and packed at the same time.
Trimmed trees with it too.
I think that’s the most frustration I’ve seen in Andrew. Can’t say I blame him. His better judgement told him to stop at that wide spot but instead they decided to push on up the hill. Ooops!
He had to test the new rig! 😂
Beast mode engaged!!! Just awesome stuff here.
Hell of a nice job Andrew!!
“Something about diesel getting in to the antifreeze” I don’t know, “I thought it was something that could be ignored”
I am quoting AC. It’s definitely something you don’t want to ignore. At the least it can ruin an expensive engine, or at worst kill the people in the cab.
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
