JH Diesel Flipped His MegaTruck Into Cleetus' Pond...Now We See If It Runs! (6.0 Powerstroke)
What happens here
The video begins with a discussion among the crew about the monster truck's recent submersion in a pond. Initial visual assessments are made, and the context of the damage is established. The team expresses surprise that the truck's battery, which was thought to be waterproof, might have allowed water ingress. They mention the truck sat in water for 24 hours. The first practical step involves adding fresh diesel fuel to the tank using a red gas can and blue additive bottle, and checking other fluid levels like oil, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid to ensure they are at appropriate levels and free of water contamination. The coolant system is noted as not having drained or been compromised.
Goal: Understand the extent of water damage and ensure basic fluid levels are correct.
