Cut the roof off, install a roll cage and run it. Totally agree about all the bad press so many vehicle brands get. All vehicles are "man made" and capable of failure.
Im going to say the truck likely had a very expensive recovery and tow bill the owner could not afford, and as a result lost possession. That is an amazing score and will definitely benefit your business financially.
You strike me as a good moral man with convictions. I think the Good Lord smiles down on good people that purposefully and intentionally work hard to not hurt others, mistreat or abuse them. You just strike me that way that you are a good man. Good things do happen to good people, and even when bad things do come around once in a while good people like you just take them in stride. Like I say the impression I have of you says you deserve this amazing break because when you are fair and honest with others, and do to and for them as you want to be treated it comes back in abundance.

Bad may come, but I believe the good will be much more abundant and over take the bad making it just an unpleasant memory! A++++ all the way around! BTW I subbed on this video! Impressed!
I'm still driving my 05 PS with 235k. Original seats, no rips. Dash good. All the PW, PD, original AC still working, knock on wood. Bought it for $15k @157k miles over 8 years ago. Yes, I have put some money into a head job - couldn't resist putting a tuner on it. But all in all mine has treated me pretty well.
I have an 07 F350 crew cab long bed FX4. Garage kept, never sat outside or driven to work, showroom condition. It went to Bulletproof Diesel in Mesa AZ early on for the "works" ($10,000) We use it for cross country trips. Never any problems.
I am not surprised this thing started up. I've seen 20 plus year old heavy equipment fire up the same way. It doesn't know if it was running yesterday or 20 years ago

My 2004 F340 6.0 with the Zf6 manual transmission has been the best truck I’ve ever owned, I got it from the original owner with around 360,000 miles and it just crossed over 400,000. Every single thing on it works and it’s fun to drive, tows awesome too and I’d drive it anywhere, I drive it every single day. I’ve done some repairs to it and I am religious about maintenance such as oil and fuel filters but I’ve never done any headgasket work or other major stuff. These trucks are awesome to me because they’re like a modern Highboy, just enough amenities to make you plenty comfortable but not too complicated, and in my opinion pretty easy and cheap to work on.
Incredible score. The 2005 6.0 I drive was purchased back in 2010 almost the same exact miles as this thing. I am in complete agreement with @DavidsGuns by doing a cab swap. You have a beautiful gem that should not go to waste.
Great video! I love the engine teardowns, but this was fun to watch as well. It looked like there was plenty of good old Midwest rust under that truck, amazing that it survived whatever happened to it as well as it did.
The more oddball you THINK it is, means the more likely we’ll LOVE it!! We love seeing inside you shop, inside your brain, etc! You do cars! We watch you do cars! (More cars!!! … dare I say …fewer engines??)
This thing was brought to you by an act of God! A 6.0 L Power stroke diesel engine that has sat in a tow yard for 12 years with less than 90,000 miles is a blessing. Get a new cab for it and sale that baby as a reconditioned truck. 😊
It's fun seeing different aspects of your business. Makes me wish I had gotten into this type of business, never had even considered it before. Keep them coming!
I called it a vintage brodozer... It survived the crusher by sitting around in a lot. Someone thought they were real cool, and when that truck rolled over the engine was turned into a mini time capsule.
@@volvo09 I found a rolled ‘89 Mustang 5.0 at a junkyard about 15 years ago, it also only had like 90,000 miles on it and looked like it was probably immaculate before it was wrecked. I pulled the rear end out of it and swapped it into my ‘90 5.0. Someone else had already pulled the engine. Even at the time it was pretty rare to find one of those cars with low miles and in good shape. Someone’s former garage queen…
I know your brand is engine tear down but it’s fun to see the other aspects. Even just showing what junk showed up this week coming off the truck. We are all geeks about that kind of stuff.
I have one of those infamous 6.0 powerstrokes in a F-250 KR. If you delete the EGR and put in head studs they are great trucks. Fluids, filters and a preemptive water pump at 250k is the only work I’ve had to do during it’s 270 K of commercial towing life
Love that your business takes otherwise rotting junk and turns it back into treasures for somebody else. Would love to see more videos about the business aspects, like how much you get for items and the like.
I'm seriously impressed. I would never have thought that the engine would run much less run like that. I think you scored well on that risky purchase. Not a fan of "modified" trucks but I think you'll make good money even without selling anything from the interior or body. Great video.
Hey Eric, on behalf of all your subscribers…I think I can speak for us, THANK YOU! Absolutely love your channel. Thanks as well for being honest and humble.
I am impressed! Well scored, you will be able to sell most of the parts and sure hope you do a follow up video of this vehicle. Love your channel and have a great day!
retired fleet mechanic here; We had bad luck with the 6.0 L fuel systems. In winter the fuel filter would clog from jelling causing cavitation resulting in micro size air bubbles in the fuel. The fuel would ignite inside the injector ruining them. We also had turbo oil leaks and EGR issues.
You are correct about how people can break anything despite how well made it is, I have owned many different types over the years and each has its own merit. I have had GM, Ford, Volkswagon, Nissan, Subaru, Landrover and now a Toyota Hilux. I do my best to look after and maintain them carefully and get reliable service in return.
You call these ones strange? Honestly that burned out Miata video was one of my favourites! It's great to see you tear open an engine but the car project are the peak content for me! It's cool to hear stories of the purchases you've made!
I love seeing these "Win" videos mixed in with the destruction clips. This should be a format you pursue. A random, "don't feel bad for me" video mixed in.

Love these car videos! Do more!! I like the engine tear down videos, but you are also really great at the car videos, too! Really loved the Miata videos, the Mystic Mustang, the recent Silverado video.
From the startup, I can tell you have too low fuel pressure coming from the lift pump (underneath the driver's side frame rail). If I was you, I would do the "Blue Spring" conversion for the fuel system. It's pretty cheap to do, and quite easy to install. I suggest this because it can save the HPFP (high pressure fuel pump). You can check with A-Rod on that. Keep doing what you're doing, Eric! We're all here cause we like your style... and cheesy jokes! Have a great day, Sir! o7
All this engine needed was base oil pressure then the hpop kicks in and can fire the injectors. As others have said, soon as the oil pressure switch activated it was going to try to start... And it succeeded. If anything, from that startup especially if his guys got it running recently... There is a check valve issue probably an incorrect/aftermarket oil filter allowing the filter to drain back and require extended cranking to refill. Blue spring update is always a good thing to do, but fuel pressure was never the problem for the extended cranking in this video.
CAB SWAP!!! DO IT... PLEASE!!! This is a GORGEOUS truck with LOTS of potential!! This truck is to beautiful to just part out... except maybe the 6.0 could be swapped for a 6.4 or even better a 7.3! It just needs a new cab. C'mon you KNOW YOU WANT TO DO IT... plus it would make great content, and a pretty profit all wrapped up in a blue oval lol.🙏💜
Cab swap ,Please!!!,not a Ford fan ,but that will be an awesome truck when you get done!This one is worth more whole than parts, you can't touch a new vehicle today like that.
why do i get the feeling that truck was rolled cause the owner was being stupid with it..... i mean lifted and the silly stack crap generally points to idiot behind the wheel.
Big diesel truck, big lift and tires, big front bumper, big ridiculous exhaust stacks…. seems to me like maybe the previous owner was trying to compensate for something 😂

My dad owns an old opel. The car is from -54 if memory serves me right. A friend of the family bought it as a barnfind. It was put in the literal barn in 1974. The last inspection sticker is still on the car. The old guy pulled it out, changed the oil and turned the key. Car started after some pumps of the gas, with the 40+ year old petrol in it. He then pulled out another 1965 Opel Kapitän and it did the same. He bought both cars after that and then sold the older one to my dad because he didn't have space for it.
but some good ole boy will be willing to pay top dollar for the tacky stacks and over kill lift. it'll say good ole boy from having to hillbillie engineer one out of bedframe rails, bailing wire. Eric just needs to throw train horns on it, it'll easily fetch $30k from some redneck
Absolutely love your videos and your work! The perfect blend of sarcasm, skepticism, and mechanical knowledge all put together in an entertaining format. Can't help with that truck, but it had to be a wild ride at the end of its life.
Will need a cab and some head studs, and that lift is trash. That said, someone should want it, even if it's 6.0L. I can't imagine why it would sit for so long with such fixable issues.
Talking of indestructable cars, have you seen what the guys did on Top Gear (UK) some years back, to a Toyota Hilux? if not, I totally recommend you search it up. Also, like others, liked this wee off script video too!
I’m surprised the tow yard didn’t scoop that truck - likely all they had into it was the tow and storage. I used to own a tow yard and I’d have grabbed that thing right away. Easy to get a title for it, just a bit of paperwork and some waiting, and it’s yours.

Notice at the end of the second crank the oil pressure rose. Started instantly on the third crank.
6.0 power stokes don’t have a high pressure fuel pump. The injector uses high pressure oil to make high pressure tule within the injectors
Theres nothing wrong with the fuel system.
Oil system lost prime, needs to push air out of the system. Nothing more
I don't think so, more likely the high pressure oil system needs to be bled or it has a leak. The 6.0 uses high pressure oil to fire the injectors.
All this engine needed was base oil pressure then the hpop kicks in and can fire the injectors. As others have said, soon as the oil pressure switch activated it was going to try to start... And it succeeded.
If anything, from that startup especially if his guys got it running recently... There is a check valve issue probably an incorrect/aftermarket oil filter allowing the filter to drain back and require extended cranking to refill.

Wow!!!! This just changed my mind about 6.0s Dispite they're "issues" that's crazy 12 yrs and fired right up with no major computer, sensor issues etc
I love to rubberneck at these oddball videos. Thanks for posting this.
amazing, hard to believe it started.
Crazy that the truck ran. Thanks for your content!
This is awesome, I love this type of content. Please make more videos of fixing and diagnosing project cars similar to the burnt miata and 911. Thanks!
nice find, i been messing the idea of taking my 351 windsor out of my 78 ford van and replacing it with a cummings diesel with a 4 wd system, you show a lot of interesting content, keep up the good work
I like your junk yard that you got going on in your set-up very organized unlike me I'm working on mine though
