What happens here

The owner drives the 1976 White dump truck away from Hippy's Repair Shop. Tim follows closely in the modern Ram pickup. The narrator expresses both excitement and apprehension about driving the old, loud, and smoky truck. He mentions the 13-speed transmission and the old diesel fuel, which he jokes is effectively kerosene. They navigate through various streets, including side roads as planned, observing traffic and the truck's performance. The truck occasionally emits large plumes of black exhaust. Tim sets up orange traffic cones to mark a temporary stop.

Goal: Transport the newly started dump truck safely to a different location using non-highway routes.

What they say

Small victory. This is amazing. Let's get over that burning smell that I'm smelling is not God truck. Just goosebumps, you guys. Flipping goosebumps. I know this truck looks like a moving pile of crap, but it was actually fully doted before I parked it. And I think I need to practice, huh? All right, let's practice our stop. [Music] It's got a 13-speed transmission with the first five gears on the low end. The remaining eight gears get split between the other gears. So, each gear then becomes two separate gears. If you've driven a truck, you know what I mean. [Music] It's got a Cumins 290 engine in it. And to me, it just sounds creamy smooth. [Music] That's 11year-old diesel fuel she's burning right now. So basically my truck's running on kerosene. Heat. Now I got to freaking jump up. So Tim has to get in front. I got to set up cones.
