Trailmater Gets Another Engine
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- After swapping the engine in Trailmater last year we've been having issues with it burning oil, possible head gasket issue and killing plugs pretty regular. So we finally decided to address it and put a newer engine in it. This is us swapping in a low mileage RV motor to hopefully fix our problems. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

I like how casual engine swaps are on this channel.
They arnt hard if you do it enough. I pulled my old 390 a dozen times. But don't ask me to pull a 4.6 in less than a weekend. I just haven't done it enough.
i know .. mind you having Big D as an engine hoist & a nice shop sure makes a difference ( not at all jealous , lol )
WILL IT 🔥FIRE?!?!🔥 Trail Mater gets a HUUUGE upgrade!!!🎉🎉
Agreed. No music, just sights, sounds, cutting up, and getting the job done.
In direct proportion to the need for new engines.
When ya drive em like ya stole em....somethings gotta give.....lol
Thanks Rory and Shawn for making us feel so welcome when we showed up, sitting in your rigs and seeing them in person was the icing on the cake for our moab vacation.
Rory gave us really good advice on our shafer switchbacks trail outing and made it a way better experience.
Wow, lucky person, some day I hope to get to say hi to the crew.
Yep they were great when my husband and I stopped by last year. Great guys!😘
the laughter and camaraderie of the Trail Mater team is infectious.
Rory, Sean and Mike, the ultimate crew in recycling engines!
Shawn wins the gold medal in this years motor pullers olympics with great assist from his awesome team.
Nope watch cleetus he pulled a motor with a helicopter
@@jeremyhanna3852One was done to show off and the other by necessity...latter is better imho
Trailmater deserves a fresh quality rebuilt motor. Poor fella works tirelessly for you guys, give him some love. And Rory, those turbo 4 bangers do sound like diesels 🤣🤣🤣
I'm not surprised you swap engines.
TrailMater is a taskmaster and runs hard.
Shaw is beyond great for taking care of business.
Mike wiredly is always around with his fingers in everything.
Fantastic video, as always. Thank you for sharing.
I know blue is special, but... trail mater deserves a monster engine
Many years ago, before we tuned an engine, we did a crank test. The sound of the starter motor can let you know if you have one cylinder with low compression. It sounded like this engine had a low cylinder at start up. (We would not have offered any warranty if a customer engine cranked like that back then.) Maybe the rings just need a few miles on them to break fee and settle in. Back in the day we were more concerned with valve problems.
I think Big D stands for "Big Dependable". You guys use it for everything!
Engine swaps may look easy to your viewers Rory, but we must thank Justin for the great editing, as I know some expletive words were said. Mike did great, we didn't see the electrical tape bandaging and Shawn is a super engine swapper. We hope it works better for you. New clutch is a plus too!
Really there not that bad. I used to pull engine out of forklifts all the time the first one or two where hard after the 4 one it was easy. About 6 hours to pull the engine out and 10hour to put it back in by myself.
Wow, a timing light! I have one sitting in the back of my closet. It hasn't seen use for decades!
Trail mater is a true icon for off road rescue. I remember along time ago when I saw my first Trail Mater video and I couldn’t believe it. Some guy in a rough rusty old tow truck climbing almost straight up walls. Mater does deserve a good new engine.
You guys have the engine swap game pinned down, thanks for sharing. 😁
The Doc is in!
Doc Shawn removing the 💔 with the most delicate skill.
I loved that Mike came up with the new song, I've remembered that firing order since I was sixteen and started wrenching on small blocks. Maybe Mike and Shawn should do a rendition here on the channel!
TBPH, when I saw Trailmater's under transmission/engine view I was very surprised to see how seriously you take the idea of rust prevention. Since you operate in a mostly dry desert climate, your dedication to keeping the "red monster" at bay is quite impressive! 😄
Oh, Mike! We're brothers from a different mother! Lol! 🤣🤘 "My messes follow me because I'm just that attached to my work!"
Sweet action TeamTrailM8!
Shawn is a master at pulling these engines and doing the impossible by himself. Good job Shawn while Rory and Mike were doing the recoveries. Mater needs a little more work on the new engine to get her fully up to speed. Ole Blue is doing an awesome job running the trails and doing what needs to be done. Big D pulling engines and whatever they need done and she's ready! Good video!
I love it when your vids include recoveries with shop work. Thank you.
You guys make everything you do look so easy. Every job or every project just seems to slide right along with no bumps. I know there's bumps but you guys make it look so easy. Great video! Can't wait for the next one!
I thought it was hilarious how the guy driving the jeep pulled a Matt and thought he has enough gas and decided to chance it instead of filling up the gas tank.
Glad to see TrailMater back to full strength
Thank y'all for all ya do to help the wheelers and keep them on the trail.
Not sure if it's just the audio or not but, it sounds like you have a cylinder that is has a significant difference in compression. During your cranking you can hear a difference in it.
Good shop day thumbs up, enjoy coming along
unlike other RUclipsrs 😁Minimal dialogue and show maximum work ... Love it!! ☺
DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE approve the MAXIMUM EFFORT!!!!
Always laughter and shenanigans. 😂😂😂 great video to start out the day.
Trail mater lives on to rescue someone again. Thanks guys. Great video.
Majority if not all of your videos always find a way to put me on a smile, thank you Rory
It's an undervalued thing
Way worth watching. Thanks all y'all.
Thanks for a great install video and recovery. I thought you were going after Matt when you said they ran out of gas.
Good to see Trailmater getting another engine installed, sounds like it has more torque than the previous one. A bit of fine tuning and he will be back in top form. "Trailmater falls" oh well, it is what it is..😅
Yeah I agree your vids are by far the best. popping motors, recoveries, trekking, teamwork, working in any type of circumstances, logically performing calculated engineering. TASKMASTERING...
Your content is refreshingly authentic, keeps me coming back for more!
Always looking for a buildable Workhorse, they are often warped, cracked or broken. I've stripped four to make one that is still going 9 years later. Watching you guys work together is down right heartwarming! Thanks
I like ol' blue but trailmater is just awesome.
That explains why we haven’t seen Trailmater as much on recoveries since you destroyed it jumping puddles.
Hopefully it be back in full recovery mode with the new motor. As always great video guys.
Big D - the engine hoist that is also an off road wrecker....lol. Timing light at the end - nostalgia for some...
That would take most other channels six vids to do the same job. These guys are pros, thanks for sharing !
In your line of work it's good to have replacement engines to keep ready for work
Happy Trails! Trialmater!
Flawlessly back up the chute but can’t get lined up for the lift in one shot 🤣 0:16
Who , Shawn?
Great engine swap video...like nothing..
Rory, Mike and Shawn work really well together.
Thank you Rory and crew for the update on TrailMater !
Awesome video. 2 new ones in a couple days, love it.
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. Rory's RUclips grind💯💥
She sounds great! Very nice.
Congrats on getting her going so sweet so quickly. Hopefully no more heart transplants needed. You guys are an incredible set of talents.
I would not like to be out on those rocks in that heat. Running out of gas can be deadly this time of year out there. Glad everything went well.
Trail Mater Falls. Perfect. Make it the unofficial official name.
Trail Mater is alive!!
Love the motors that are easily worked on. Simple pull out and replace.
Work truck, Work engine. Motor Home's have Work Motors. Most of them are low mileage. Thanks for sharing.
That’s so cool, MSD…… Moab Sports Division, awesome…… the Rorygan‘s changes engine‘s like a pair of socks…. So great to see… out-in-done….. doing without any fancy „dodapthingling“, best way to show….. how it is…… thanks you dres amigos 👍👍
I just noticed. You got over a quarter million subscribers now. Congratulations!
Your videos are like a window into your world, love the view!
Great video!! I Love all the shop shenanigans as well as the trail recoveries. You, Mike and Shawn are all just good buddies having a good time and helping people in the process!!!
I really enjoy how good yall work together.
I think Trail Mater has earned a properly built low end torque monster Rory...he's paid his dues lol
Absolute professionals!!!!!!!!!!
For as hard as you work the trucks 10 months out of a used engine is pretty darned good. Nice to have big D as an engine lift. Very versatile. Thanks for sharing.
I'm a square body guy whom has had big blocks and small but my favorite truck I have is a K30 with a 500 8.2L
Cadillac. If you find a 71 500 they were rated at 440hp and 550 ft lbs with peak torque at 2200 to 2500 RPM
Perfect for that truck
The 454 is a great motor!! Great torque!
Might want to throw a cam and heads on that 454 later on down the road. 80's and '90's 454's were severely cut down on power and torque with lower compression and smog equipment.
There's something oddly satisfying about watching blokes working on engines 🤣🤣🤣Trailmater deserves all the love it can get.....Thanks Shaun, Mike and Rory....
Great show, just another day at the office, you guys can change a engine like we change water cooler bottles, lol
You sure make it look easy Sean.
It’s a great shop when everyone can do everything when they need to.
Kudos to your shop.
And that why it nice to have trucks that are easy to work on
Good 👍 job guys
Another great video
Thank You
The RV cam in that BB engine should offer good bottom end torque for Trailmater. (Nice work guys, best of luck Rory)
Sounded like low compression in one cylinder when cranking before you started it and the harmonic balancer looks like it is dying. you guys do a great job at getting it swapped
The falls where Trailmater occasionally (like ONCE) stumbles but THEN gets up and begins that journey of growth and self discovery/improvements!!!
Shop banter brings back memories, now it's just me making fun of the radio, assembling heads and watching y'all
I love the short clips after the Thanks for Watching screen. They always make me laugh and keep me watching.
I didn't see the roof open up nor lighting strikes,,, I was so looking forward to see who was holding the rods on Trailmater when the lighting hit, but I was let down 🤣🤣🤣
Love your vids ❤
I love you guys, and I love how much you guys seem to love each other too! What a crew you guys are!
Awesome job gentlemen
Nice video guys! Hope all is well, have a blessed day.
You three make a great team no matter what you get involved in. Sean/Shaun/Shawn did a super job of removing Trailmater’s engine by himself. Please give us the correct spelling of your first name so we all don’t keep using whatever we think it correct? By the way the new engine sounds great, let’s see how she does pulling your trailer making recoveries.
I love the chain. You can bet that motor would cut & run without it after doing time in Le Mater.
New motor equals low mileage RV motor.
We love it!!
You guys got after it with the motor swap
Keep up with the good work love watching you on RUclips God bless
Here we are 🏜️🛺🏜️
Trailmater Falls...love it!!
Another Great Video 👍 Great content, keep up the great work!
Shawn, wow, man; that was something else. Would take me (I don't want to say) ... and video in addition to the job..
Great to see Big D helping out to get TM back working .
You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for sharing the adventures
When funds are low and debts are high when you try to smile but can only cry when you really feel you would like to quit call these 3 guys they will make it spit -great job and team work you all got alot of love from this ol country boy- great team more importantly great people
That was an awesome turn around time on that engine swap! i think it was less than 18 minutes!!
Sooo pumped when that motor fired up. Awesome job guys
You guys are getting quick with these monthly engine swaps.
First time I've seen you without a hat. What a Hunk! 😊😉😂
Great job guys. Thank you 😊
Thank you for watching!
Always a thumbs up.. guys kickass!!
Big fan!! Take care. Very nizhooni videos you make.. recovery rescue!!
I love videos like this changing motor or building rigs
The shop I work at is 2.7 miles from my house, there are 3 different gas stations along the way, and I sweat it when I get to a ¼ tank. Can't imagine going off road without extra fuel.
Nice work guys!
Nice vid Rory, thanks.
glad ya got it swapped,...
hey if thats a construction zone out front, be careful
everywhere else in the world ,.... thats double fines
Mike
Think I saw only one other old school mechanic here. When you know, you know. And I know, and never forget it. GM V-8 firing order.
🤣I saw that! My head gasket went on my 66 station wagon in high school. Had a big hill to get home(well steep). Think it was running on three cylinders going up the hill. A six cylinder, started to go backwards just as I arrive at the top. Had three spark plugs that look like that. Clean them, and made it home. Your welcome. And thanks for posting.
I plan to come out this October. See you guys then.
That is a great sounding motor. That’s gonna serve u guys good
As a BBC owner for over 50 plus yrs. , i might have pulled the Pan & did New bearing's , checked over the end play and oil pump , But im just a ole shade tree wrench 😉 ! Hell maybe another cam& lifters' ! I found out once the motor is Out do wat you can , when it's Easy !
I was going to come see you guys but I think I'll wait till about November!
This is why you have three tow trucks. One to lift the engine out of another and still have the spare to go on recoveries without stopping work.
