Absolutely not a mistake, seeing the trouble-shooting is practically half the fun for me. Plus once you get those things going and maintain it, they're absolute units. I approve of this crazy yet awesome impulse purchase. Congrats Riley on the cool 'new' ride and thank you Courtney for having such a fun sense of humor to the random craziness. Can't be mad at the man, HE BOUGHT IT FOR THE BABY! 🤣
@@liongod1000 as a RUclips member and Patreon member, I am in full support of "unnecessary toys" I think having a solid full length bed, diesel truck with a transfer tank and proper 4 door makes a lot of sense for what they do on their property. Easier to get supplies without having to have a trailer, especially with their hill.
@@liongod1000 Woe, dude. Don't be a stingy giver and crab about expenditures, which end up being entertaining, interesting and for somebody educational content. It ain't "Patreon's money!" It is OUR money given to a young family living the "off grid" life many of us wish we could live. (Maybe you were joking, and I missed the humor. If so ...)
I laughed when Courtney said at 14:20: "were you worried someone was gonna steal it last night". Knowing it wouldn't start, on a snow covered mountain, in the middle of nowhere. I still chuckle when writing this. Thanks.
My dad was the same way with his 6.9 idi international 87 f350 Ford dually crew cab it got hung up in a drift that was completely across the road and it was not coming out on its own power and was blocking the road so, it was not going to messed with my brother and his best friend decided to use his 75 ih 345 half ton 4x4 short bed truck to yank it out and they had to go to a few towns to the south and meet my dad and get his keys..lol
I LOVE my, built for me at the factory, 2001 Dodge 2500 5.9HO Cummins 4x4 6spd manual!! It still runs like new 22 years later at around 97k miles!! My regret was selling my 1989 Toyota 4x4 5spd manual when I bought my Dodge 🥲
Courtney wins again for being so good natured about a surprise truck. 😂 I think between this and the winter camping she might need another piece of equipment that she wants. Hah
This is RUclips gold! I love when y’all dig a pit, jump in it with both feet, get stuck, then turn the pit into a posh hot tub, and have a blast the entire time. So much fun!
She has the pregnancy glow. Definitely coming across in the videos. The only couple I enjoy on the tubes these days! Cheers to them and baby on the way!
Every time I watch you folks. Reminds me of my wife and I ( we’re married 53 years this year) we loved having fun and my wife never said anything that I bought without her knowing. The love that you have for each other will be remembered for the rest of your life. God bless you both.
Congrats on the new truck! Before you drive it too far I would get four new tires... if that truck has been sitting for 10 years you have some dry rot going on.
Oil change, filters, flush fuel system, belts and a check of the braking system. General exploration of crannies for more rodents/insects etc. Get it up on a lift to check the undersides for mechanical nightmares. Drain and flush radiator/coolant, transfer cases, differentials. With a little luck $2000 should cover tires and all the lubing/belts/filters etc. Re tires, reminds me of my '90 Ranger, on OEM tires in 2012 when I loaded 20 50# concrete mix bags in back and got about a mile from home when the first tire blew.
I’m sure you’re aware of all the mods possible for obs trucks. My recommendations are 38 gallon rear bronco tank mod, PMF rsk front spring kit with superduty springs, b code rear superduty spring swap, hydro boost brake conversion from a 97 F-superduty, e99 turbo pedestal delete, wicked wheel2 since you likely ingested air cleaner parts into you turbo, 360 deg thrust washer. These are just some easy to do bolt on mods for these trucks. You’re really handy and these maintenance up grades should be fun and will make your new truck happy!
Depending on how ambitious you want to get superduty axles may be worth swapping in as well. You can always resell the obs axles and recoup some money.
Ya' know what I love about this one? The absolute JOY that Reilly experienced with troubleshooting this truck. It wasn't so much "the truck" that he loved; it was FIXING IT!! That's what engineering is all about.... making stuff work....
Replace the starter. A new guilty starter will spin your power stroke over much faster with less battery draw. I have had mine for 24 years and this simple fix helped with many problems
Banks performance has parts for the intake. 👍 the tank selector switch sometimes gives you a problem. Great truck, with some love you will have a long lasting hard working truck.
Check all of the glow plugs. All of them need to be working to make it start easy. It is crazy how one or two being out makes it very difficult to fire up.
That wheelbase extends for city blocks :) "Rides like a tank"... gotta appreciate that straight front axle.... Just like the XJ!!! That front axle is one of the major differences between your DirtyMax front IRS cv-axles and your new to you ThreeFiddy. OBS rocks, best looking trunk frontend. We have a 95 single cab F350 4x4 5spd gasser with a hyd dump bed. We love this truck, pretty sure yall will too. Unless they've already been replaced, looking forward to your brake-line replacement video. :)
I have a ‘99 F250 crew cab short bed 4x4 7.3 Diesel 6 speed that I ordered new in ‘98. Best vehicle I have ever owned, currently showing about 250k miles and I plan on keeping it as long as I am above ground!
Love the white OBS Ford! The 7.3 manuals are such and under rated setup. I love my e99 w/ the zf6. Absolutely hauls the mail and then some. Hutch/harpoon mod is also a really good idea if you’re dropping the tanks for that sending unit. Make sure the tank selector works as well before filling up both tanks to the top. For the winter, glow plugs, a really good glow plug relay, good batteries, and a healthy starter are required. FoMoCo glow plugs are the good standard, a white Rodgers relay is good over kill, and a gear reduction starter at a minimum. Sounds like the truck at least has a gear reduction starter as it sits. A denso 4kw starter is a really good replacement if you’re in need for the future.
Reckless Riley off blowing stuff up, great 👍 entertainment I look forward to watching your video every Sunday morning before church. Riley your wife is glowing you two are so blessed.
I sold my new extended cab Silverado after having it for one year to buy a 1 year older Suburban. Why you ask? We got pregnant with twin boys in addition to the two girls at home. Smartest decision ever with a growing family to upgrade vehicles…that was in 2001 and I still have the suburban with 416k. It’s been all over the US.
Makes me want to go out and finish fixing my 1996 F250. White, Extended Cab, Long Bed, 5.8 Gas. Been putting it off all winter. Have not needed the truck, but I am getting closer to needing it. Thanks for the inadvertent pep talk!
Well done Riley! ! ! Though I wonder why if you purchased a used truck you never checked inside the air filter. I would back flush the fuel line from engine to fuel tank, remove and clean the inside of the fuel tank, then replace the fuel filter, air filter and spark plugs. But then I'm paranoid, and I'd be even more so, living on the top of that mountain, in the winter, in the snow. lol Thanks for your always entertaining videos.
Usually I would, not sure why I didn't check it on this pre buy inspection. Lots going on I suppose. I pulled the intake tube off and checked for play on the turbine wheel on the turbo but didn't look the other way. Lesson learned! Yes for flushing the fuel system, as for spark plugs it's a diesel so it doesn't have any to change. As always, thanks for watching!
You are the most efficient and sane you will ever be at this point. Babies change everything! But, they are the hardest Bestest thing you’ll ever do. I knew that I was in trouble when I went for a milk run for the babies and put the milk on top of the car three times and drove off and watching each time the milk fly off the car and split on the road! Fourth time was the charm ! Stress, stress, unforgettable, laughter, and stress
Another great video brought to you by Reckless Riley and the exploding engine that burned the mouse nest. Riley sure knows how to put fun content in the video to make many grins and giggles. Courtney, your smiles and sense of humor add so much to this great video especially when you learn Riley bought the truck for the baby car seat. Blessings to you fun folks.
OMG Riley! How can you stay so calm and film the process in the midst of such challenging circumstances? Your maturity is outstanding. You are going to be a great Dad.
Riley,Courtney,Love the truck. I'm not a Ford guy but the important thing is that U enjoy.I love pickups,especially older ones.U are amazing.I would be using words that would make a sailor blush. Anyway,continue on with the journey that only an adventurous spirit can do.Peace.....
It is the smile of Courtney. I am always excited to see another adventure from Riley and Courtney. I think the new Courtney "I'm having a baby" smile is even better. I know the new office addition is coming along but what about the baby's room?
Perhaps now is the time for 'fun' purchases, before a baby slows down your mad moments. Well done to Courtney for filming the events and not Riley's defenestration, in a burst of being unamused. It makes it so much better to watch when the two of you extract the fun and happiness from every event, well done.
The truck looks really solid & rust free. The mechanical issues can be fixed. I would've bought that truck myself going on the body condition. Like I said, the mechanical issues can be fixed.
The perfect man's excuse: I bought this new truck not for just me---but for the baby. We'll go to any lengths to alibi our way out of our impulse buying! Great episode---and, at least for now, a great ending.
Another Life of Riley episode. Riley always has me cracking up😂 Even when things don't work,he still smiles I don't know what he would do if everything went perfect all the time . Can't wait to see what he gets into next. Love you guys
@ambitionstrikes this is literally the truck that made me love diesels. My buddy hauled a cattle trailer up “three mile hill” laughing and accelerating the entire hill. Diesel fan for life.
A old truck but Riley looks happy tinkering around with it and not giving up. Courtney you always have a wonderful smile and look gorgeous with those beautiful eyes of yours and Riley is definitely a very lucky man to have you to get him out of trouble and enjoy your days and no dull moments with you too thanks for sharing!!
Riley and Courtney, Thanks again for a very entertaining video about your "dream" truck. Sorry it gave you both so many problems starting. Glad you finally got it started. Looking forward to seeing your construction/finishing Courtney's office and then building your son's room!
OK, word to the wise. You want it to run, be safe and not break down! So!, Pull it into your garage, and start making a list. Open the hood, make a two sided list, one for what to do, one for parts. Just go ahead and replace all wear items such as hoses, belts, fluids, filters and so on. Then look at the drive lines and components, change fluids in the trans and T-case, check, and maybe replace the u-joints, then replace all brake stuff. Shoes, pads, hoses and small parts(for the rear, calipers, Diff fluids In other words, everything that you'd normally change and replace from day one of buying it new till now. An BTW Courtney, yes the visor is "nostalgic" But so is the bug deflector! They actually do work when driving at road speeds esp at night. Really does help keep the bug guts from getting on your windshield. Look forward to the work on this truck.
You did good so long as the frame and body are in good condition. That Navistar diesel is a million mile motor… I love those mechanical IDI’s. It doesn’t take much to make the OBS Ford into great reliable rider. The seats are easily removed and can be reupholstered, you can redo the interior with Lizard Skin or Dynamat/Dynaliner which makes a big difference. Anything mechanical is easy on those Ford’s. Do a reverse shackle upgrade from PMF, that’s a cheap but massive upgrade!
I had a 97 just like it but black and I too was bummed when I sold it. Would love to find another one for the ranch property I just bought but GD are they going for a pretty penny these days!
This makes me miss my old Ford Ranger 4x4. Man, I loved that truck. It was my best friend for so many years. I bought it with 20K miles on it and when I had to get rid of it, it had 541K miles on it. great times
I’m sure he fixes it by the end of the vid, but a rag with gasoline is good for priming. Rag over intake will suck the fumes and it’ll run long enough to pull fuel from the tank.
Mechanical lockers in both axel's a must , kill all growth in diesel fuel ,lines pump ,filters ,tank /both tanks . A Holley diesel fuel pump on frame will shove 50 lbs of fuel to injector pump no matter what ,
Courtney : " I'm not sure if it's ; snowing , hailing, raining, or all of the above. " bahaha... ;-) later in the video.. Courtney: "sweet bug deflector.." Riley: "do you like that thing?" Courtney: "No." bahahaha....!
I had a 1995, lots of quirks and features, but it was a good old American truck that did well. My daughter learned to drive in that truck. The best driving tool for new drivers.
All that residual dirty fuel prevented that 7.3 powerstroke engine from starting. After it was all injected, then the newly bought ci fuel was able to start it. So, yes, it was a fuel related problem. Thank you, and congratulations for diagnosing and fixing that problem, Riley.
Great vidio, you might consider purchasing a dump trailer so you can run into town and pick up some of the smaller size gravel for the muddy sections of your road they are also pretty handy around the property just know your friends will be asking if they can borrow it. 😊😊
Never a dull moment for Courtney, Reckless Riley does it again!!🤣😂I cant understand, Why didnt you when towing the dream truck off the road, Didnt you tow it up to the house to repair it??. No dogs in the video??. Fun video again love sundays,.! 1st day of summer here in UK, put our clocks Forward an hour last night.. thanks again for the video, hope pregnancy is going well Courtney!, with youre patience with Riley you should make a great Mother!!.😇 Thanks again, take care Love from UK x x
Used to sell and drive Ford diesel pickups in the past, you can't beat the 7.3 diesel! When you were starting your diagnosis I started saying, "check the air filter for a pack rat's nest"! Next would be to check the fuel filter. You will love this truck, good buy!
That snow-hail is graupel! I learned that at summer camp for Forestry. Graupel (grou′pəl) - noun - (1)Precipitation consisting of snow pellets.(2)A form of soft hail or half-melted snow or sleet.(3)A precipitation that forms when supercooleddroplets of water condense on a snowflake.
You just bought the best truck Ford ever built, and in my opinion, overall of any brand- end of story. I'm not sure why you didn't just pull it up to the shop with the skid steer, it would have saved so much time and energy! Glad to see you got the best truck for what y'all need. Love the channel!!! Just remember, NEVER trust a Ford fuel gauge, no matter what gen truck you own, and I am a nut when it comes to Ford trucks.

Riley, you always seems to be so happy when things don’t work. I would be having a tantrum like a 2yo. Your optimism is inspiring 😊
If it's at 1/4 and out of fuel
Look a t the fuel pick up screen chances are it's out of place and rolling around on the bottom of the tank

I’m sure you’re aware of all the mods possible for obs trucks.

These are just some easy to do bolt on mods for these trucks. You’re really handy and these maintenance up grades should be fun and will make your new truck happy!

Man that's a nice OBS. Old body style. I bought a brand new 95 crew cab with the 7.3 L diesel. That was a nice truck.
You two are a trip. Love the truck and the daddy needing the truck for the car seat moment. Can't wait to see our new family member. Stay safe.
OMG Riley!! What a great find!! On top of it, it isn't a DUALLY!!! I am so happy for you! 😂😊😊😊

Riley and Courtney, Thanks again for a very entertaining video about your "dream" truck. Sorry it gave you both so many problems starting. Glad you finally got it started.
Looking forward to seeing your construction/finishing Courtney's office and then building your son's room!
OK, word to the wise. You want it to run, be safe and not break down! So!, Pull it into your garage, and start making a list. Open the hood, make a two sided list, one for what to do, one for parts. Just go ahead and replace all wear items such as hoses, belts, fluids, filters and so on. Then look at the drive lines and components, change fluids in the trans and T-case, check, and maybe replace the u-joints, then replace all brake stuff. Shoes, pads, hoses and small parts(for the rear, calipers, Diff fluids In other words, everything that you'd normally change and replace from day one of buying it new till now. An BTW Courtney, yes the visor is "nostalgic" But so is the bug deflector! They actually do work when driving at road speeds esp at night. Really does help keep the bug guts from getting on your windshield. Look forward to the work on this truck.
I love every little adventure you guys post!
You did good so long as the frame and body are in good condition. That Navistar diesel is a million mile motor… I love those mechanical IDI’s. It doesn’t take much to make the OBS Ford into great reliable rider. The seats are easily removed and can be reupholstered, you can redo the interior with Lizard Skin or Dynamat/Dynaliner which makes a big difference. Anything mechanical is easy on those Ford’s. Do a reverse shackle upgrade from PMF, that’s a cheap but massive upgrade!
you two rock - always fun and informative
That view makes living there all worth it
A man with great taste I see!! 👌👌
Way2go Riley for making the buy sound legit to Courtney by saying the number one reason you bought it cuz it had the extra back seat for the baby 🍼
Way to go Riley! Great job! So excited for both of you
I had a 97 just like it but black and I too was bummed when I sold it. Would love to find another one for the ranch property I just bought but GD are they going for a pretty penny these days!
Riley is so smart. He can fix anything. And has a gorgeous wife.
Y’all are gonna need to build a separate carport and pad for all of your vehicles!
I can see the original Barndominium become the main house and Riley building a shop later on.
Get that Lift for the New Shop
This makes me miss my old Ford Ranger 4x4. Man, I loved that truck. It was my best friend for so many years. I bought it with 20K miles on it and when I had to get rid of it, it had 541K miles on it. great times
I’m sure he fixes it by the end of the vid, but a rag with gasoline is good for priming. Rag over intake will suck the fumes and it’ll run long enough to pull fuel from the tank.
Courtney, you have the patience of a saint! My wife would have killed me!
Riley is turning into a real mountain man.!
Mechanical lockers in both axel's a must , kill all growth in diesel fuel ,lines pump ,filters ,tank /both tanks . A Holley diesel fuel pump on frame will shove 50 lbs of fuel to injector pump no matter what ,
Oh my!!! Girl, your eyes are awesome!!!
Courtney : " I'm not sure if it's ; snowing , hailing, raining, or all of the above. " bahaha... ;-)
later in the video..
Courtney: "sweet bug deflector.."
Riley: "do you like that thing?"
Courtney: "No."
bahahaha....!
Of course it's for your baby :)
Sweet ride! Just needed good luck C to be there to get started….and two fresh batteries. Thanks for sharing
I had a 1995, lots of quirks and features, but it was a good old American truck that did well. My daughter learned to drive in that truck. The best driving tool for new drivers.
All that residual dirty fuel prevented that 7.3 powerstroke engine from starting. After it was all injected, then the newly bought ci fuel was able to start it. So, yes, it was a fuel related problem. Thank you, and congratulations for diagnosing and fixing that problem, Riley.
Great vidio, you might consider purchasing a dump trailer so you can run into town and pick up some of the smaller size gravel for the muddy sections of your road they are also pretty handy around the property just know your friends will be asking if they can borrow it. 😊😊
Never a dull moment for Courtney, Reckless Riley does it again!!🤣😂I cant understand, Why didnt you when towing the dream truck off the road, Didnt you tow it up to the house to repair it??. No dogs in the video??. Fun video again love sundays,.! 1st day of summer here in UK, put our clocks Forward an hour last night.. thanks again for the video, hope pregnancy is going well Courtney!, with youre patience with Riley you should make a great Mother!!.😇 Thanks again, take care Love from UK x x
The 7.3 PSD is one of the best engines ever made! I have a early 99 F250 7.3 and it’s been the best truck I have ever owned.
Best truck in the world! My father-in-law had a 99 with the 7.3. Bulletproof. And he had the same visor as well - SWEET! 💪👍🏼
Used to sell and drive Ford diesel pickups in the past, you can't beat the 7.3 diesel! When you were starting your diagnosis I started saying, "check the air filter for a pack rat's nest"! Next would be to check the fuel filter. You will love this truck, good buy!
That snow-hail is graupel! I learned that at summer camp for Forestry. Graupel (grou′pəl) - noun - (1)Precipitation consisting of snow pellets.(2)A form of soft hail or half-melted snow or sleet.(3)A precipitation that forms when supercooleddroplets of water condense on a snowflake.
You just bought the best truck Ford ever built, and in my opinion, overall of any brand- end of story. I'm not sure why you didn't just pull it up to the shop with the skid steer, it would have saved so much time and energy! Glad to see you got the best truck for what y'all need. Love the channel!!! Just remember, NEVER trust a Ford fuel gauge, no matter what gen truck you own, and I am a nut when it comes to Ford trucks.
