On this special episode, ‪@riolocofab2632‬ and I set on a Texas camping adventure in my 42 year old Toyota Pickup, named TunaCan, that was abandoned for 14 years in the West Texas desert. Will he make it or die trying?

I was looking forward to this video all week. Despite everything, I'm sure the trip itself was extremely special. She was down and out in the desert and made it to the hill country from South Texas. Someone looking at it in the desert then would have never believed it. Can't wait to see it back and stronger.

@thetrutha2177 7 ай бұрын

Knowing these trucks, their overheating issues most likely started with a bad water pump or a cracked/warped head. The water pump was the issue in my 1980. Luckily it didn't cause any other issues.

Dude put another 22r in the truck. Dont fool with all the adapting youll have to go thru with trans and driveshafts and all of that. 22r is a good motor. Get reputable work done and use factory gaskets. Youll retain the value of the truck as time goes on much better and it will keep the spirit of the truck true.

Unless you're going diesel, I would swap it with a Toyota engine. LC Engineering makes new 22r and 22re engines.

You blew the head gasket by driving it overheating. Thats not the machine shops fault. The cooling system does not overheat just because the catch can was not good. Also using a soda can is not a replacement catch can. as u saw later it flew out. Use radiator fluid it has a higher boiling points its not just antifreeze and does play a role in heat environments. Hope tunacan survives.

"The faster I go, the less it over heats." No sh@t Sherlock, that's because you're forcing more cold air through the radiator genius. You are a prime example of why anyone with a camera shouldn't make a video about things they know nothing about.
