What's up, America?
You just got your ass dragged.
[Diesel] Time is ticking away and we're now five weeks away
from our big auction.
[Heavy] All right. We're in a van.
Last week, we a little bit of a hiccup.
[siren wailing]
[Heavy] Definitely on fire.
But...
This is an old airport tug.
...the good news is...
...we were able to make some pretty good cash on a quick flip...
-Whoo-hoo! -No way!
...which has now got us ready for our next auction build.
[Heavy] It's an old 50's Chevy.
[Muscle] With a big ass Cummins in it.
The steering isn't working.
Actually it's very, very old.
If you were an oil smell, that would be you.
It's the meanest thing you've ever said to me.
But our latest give away...
is the first of its kind.
Ladies and gentlemen, the 2021, RAM TRX.
-[Heavy] How many horses? -[man 1] Seven hundred and two.
Something old...
[Diesel] Look, it's dragging.
The Muscle must be on that side.
[Heavy] ...something new.
[Art] So, I've never been off-road.
-This is awesome. -You've never been off-road?
[laughs] No.
And something to drive Red Beard little crazy.
The moment I've been waiting for a long time.
I love it! Whoo-hoo!
This is Lewinston. Lewiston.
Lewiston, Idaho.
[Muscle] I don't think I've ever been here. Have you been here?
Passing through maybe.
I don't think I've ever been on the ground.
Muscle and I are all the way up in Idaho
checking out another vehicle that could be a really good fit for the auction.
You see, we already have classic cars, resto mods, work trucks,
but this vehicle?
I mean it's-- Literally, it doesn't even have a category
because it's just, so unique, so awesome.
It's an old 50's Chevy
with a Cummins in it.
If we have a classic diesel conversion vehicle at the auction,
-imagine the amount of people that it's going to attract. -[Muscle] Yeah. I agree.
My only concerns here are,
even if it runs, it doesn't always mean that it--
-it runs. -Ah, that's what we're about to find out.
Putting a bigger, heavier and a more powerful diesel engine
in a car that never had an engine that big in it,
it's a lot of work.
In fact, you may remember the time that we stuffed a Duramax in the El Camino.
Uh-oh.
Son of a [bleep]
It makes me just that much more skeptical.
If it doesn't tun, let's not waste our time.
Unless you fall in love with it.
And then, you'll buy it, no matter what.
Do not let me walk out of here buying a project.
I'm not even going to say anything.
I'm going to lead with a throw punch.
-How's it going? -[Heavy] What's up, man?
-[Tony] Living the dream. -Definitely, you're living the dream.
[Heavy] This 1957 Chevy 210
is the last in the lineup of the Chevy shoe boxes.
Basically, it was a line of cars
that were big body, huge comfortable interiors, light frames.
Because of the big engine bay and the light frame
drag racers throughout the 60's and 70's looked at it and said,
"Hey!"
We could fit a monster V8 engine in there.
Yes! Yes!
Yes!
This one's gone even one step further
by putting a monster diesel engine under the hood.
That's a 1998, 5.9 liter, 12 valve Cummins
which is really one of the most glorious diesel engines for diesel heads.
You got it stuffed in there good, huh.
[Tony] I had to do things to make it fit, obviously.
Like, the radiator, I had to change where it goes in and out.
And I had to use an intercooler off of like a Honda Civic.
But everything else went in decent.
So, just as I suspected,
the body on this car is like, really rough.
And the guy got really creative
on figuring out how to stuff that big-old 12 valve Cummins under the hood.
But we did come all this way,
so, might as well, take it for a spin.
[engine starts]
Yeah.
-It's boogies. -It does boogy.
-And it rides pretty smooth. -[Heavy] Damn smooth.
I kind of like it.
I do, too.
[Heavy] Shifting through those gears,
and the way that the car is weighted down
with the big engine and the old, uh, suspension,
I'm really, really enjoying the way this car drives.
[Heavy] Look, 10 to 15 minutes ago,
I was planning on heading home without this car.
But now that I've driven it,
I have a completely different outlook on this car and what we can do with it.
It's definitely got some appeal now.
Yeah.
I don't... I'm not going to do any body work to it, though.
No.
The bottom line is, we don't have enough time, energy or resources
to be able to fix the body on this very rusted out Chevy.
So, we're basically gonna kind of position it as a rat rod.
Rat rods are like, the Bizzaro World version of classic hot rods.
Rat rods are basically vintage cars
that have been heavily, heavily modified.
You want to have big crazy, you know, powerful engines.
You want to use all sorts of different parts and pieces.
Hell, you can use parts and pieces from a kitchen sink.
The whole point is to make them as eclectic, over the top and eye-catching as possible.
What were you asking?
-Sixteen. -Body sucks, man.
I got to be lower. I gotta be like half of where you're at.
Like, my bottom, like, I'll just keep it otherwise would be ten.
Ten or keep it.
All right, Tony. Well... [bleep]
Man, I wasn't gonna buy it.
I was determined after I saw the rust, I wasn't going to buy it.
But you got yourself a deal, man.
That's it. A hell of a car for ten grand.
We haven't really done rat rods in our shop before,
so, I feel like this is the perfect place to get started.
It's unique, it's diesel, it's old, it's--
You know, it's got all the right looks and feels.
As long as there's no major problems when we get it to the shop.
In the meantime, we got to keep our business running.
And our core business model is these truck giveaways.
So, we have probably one of the biggest,
most surprising giveaways coming up that we've ever done.
All right. Heavy D, Muscle... action.
All right, America. It is time for the new diesel sellers truck giveaway.
And this one is going to surprise a lot of you.
We just got done with a really successful giveaway.
-Whoo! Let's go! -Take me for a ride!
[Heavy] The Rough and Rowdy giveaway honestly went great.
Yee-haw! [laughs]
[Heavy] We're making a video to show our followers
just how impressive this truck really is,
so that they can get really excited about it and enter the giveaway.
How about you go fire it up?
-Okay. -[Heavy] Take a little...
No. You're gonna just go ahead and stay right here with me and just listen.
[engine starts]
[engine roaring]
Wait.
That's not a diesel.
To me that sounds a lot like a...
Ladies and gentlemen, the 2021, RAM TRX.
It's not a diesel.
It's gas powered but it makes 702 horsepower,
650 foot-pounds of torque,
it's got the 6.2 liter supercharged Hellcat engine under the hood.
This new RAM TRX,
it was designed to compete against the Raptor
and kind of steal some of that market share.
We've worked on a Raptor in the past.
How rad is this?
-No. No. -This is... this...
-He's speechless! -I'm speechless.
-[Heavy] Completely. I'm speechless, too. -I'm speechless.
[Heavy] Some of our customers are going to be a little bit skeptical
that we're trying to giveaway a gas vehicle.
So, what we've decided to do, is take the RAM TRX
and put it through a series of challenges
to prove to everybody,
this truck has what it takes to live up to, you know, a diesel owner's standards.
Zero to sixty. You ready?
Tell you when we're at 60.
I'm ready.
Go!
-[Heavy] Tell me when. -[Muscle] Man, that's impressive! Geez.
-[Muscle] Holy... -[Heavy] Evidently, holy mo--
-[Heavy] Oh... -[Muscle] What was our time like?
[Heavy] 5.5.
[Muscle laughs] Nice.
That's fast for a truck.
[Heavy] Next up, the short course dirt racing track.
So, aside from the big 700 horsepower engine
that sits under the hood of the RAM TRX,
it really shines in the suspension department.
It's got, like, 14-inches of off-road design suspension,
which gives you a wider stance and a much, much smoother ride off-road.
-[Muscle] It gripped. -Tons the grip on those corners.
[Muscle] Oh, nice. Caught some air.
-Yeah. Smooth landing. -[Muscle] It was a smooth landing.
The suspension feels great.
Nice corner.
-[Heavy] These whoops are not easy on anything. -[Muscle] Feel these whoops.
One, two, three, four.
Last whoop.
Hit the corner.
[Muscle and Heavy exclaiming]
[Heavy] We've got one more test lined up,
and this is for the ultimate weekend warrior.
Rock crawling.
[Muscle] Here we go.
All right. Let's see what the TRX does on this little mound right here.
It's gonna bottom out... and bottom out, right--
-Whoo-hoo! -Oh-ho...
Wow! That's impressive.
How about some side hilling?
-That's our max incline there. -[Muscle] This is...
-Yeah. Our pitch is at 24, 23... -Whoo!
[Muscle] ...26...
...26...
-[Heavy] Wow! 28. -[Muscle] ...28...
[Muscle exclaims]
So, after testing this RAM TRX...
I am pretty convinced
that people are going to go nuts over this as a giveaway truck.
So, rather than completely changing the look of this truck,
all we're going to do is take those OEM features that RAM came up with,
which are pretty sexy and amplify them.
I'm talking more horsepower, bigger tires,
a new exhaust system, so you can really hear that supercharger screaming.
I'm pretty sure this could be one of our most popular giveaways ever.
-[Diesel] Fire it up. -Don't tell me what to do.
[Heavy] This is definitely a one-of-a-kind car,
scared as to what we might possibly find.
[Justin] Is that really not turning?
Huh.
-[Heavy] Is it leaking? -[Justin] Yeah.
Oh, geez.
[Diesel] Yeah!
[Heavy] For our latest auction build,
The Muscle and I went all the way up to Idaho to pick up this 1957 Chevy 210...
Look at it dragging. The Muscle must be on that side.
[laughs]
Stop! No! The tire!
...with a crazy diesel twist.
When people see this thing cruising down the road and they hear it,
they're gonna be like, "What the hell?"
This is definitely a one-of-a-kind, very unique car
that has the potential to bring in a lot of people,
who otherwise might not come to the auction.
I mean, essentially, it's a classic car
with a big ass Cummins in it.
Definitely, a Cummins because it's leaving its mark here.
-Is it leaking. -[Justin] Yeah.
Oh, geez.
Clearly, the rusty body on this old Chevy
isn't the only thing with holes in it.
So, we decided to take this build in a completely different direction
and present it as our shop's first rat rod build.
First, we have to go through the diesel conversion top to bottom.
Fix any leaks and replace any improvised pieces
such as the mason jar overflow tank.
Then we got to check out the axles and suspension
and make sure everything is in working order.
We're going to replace the pegasus shifter
with our signature bearded skull.
Rust proof the body to prevent further deterioration
while keeping up the patina look with custom airbrush.
Tint the windows and a fresh set of wheels and tires.
Even though this car is rusty and looks like it's all on the outside,
it needs to last for years for whoever buys it at the auction.
When we, like, showcase it for the auction,
we're going to show people all the dents and dings and scratches,
and we're going to show that that's part of the character of the car,
rather than trying to lead them to believe
that this is like a historic perfect preservation vehicle. Because it's not.
Since there's really no book value for a car like this,
we kind of just have to hedge our bets,
spend as much as we absolutely have to,
get this car in, you know, running mechanically solid condition
and see what happens.
The amount of power on this TRX is insane.
The fact that they'll give it to a regular person,
blows my mind.
We are about to do one of the craziest giveaways we have ever done.
We got our hands on one of the first ever models
of the first ever year of the brand new RAM TRX.
This is a gas truck.
So, we're trying to entice our diesel heads to jump on board with this giveaway
by adding even more power to the stock 700 horsepower that it already has.
What do you think of that?
Is that a T-Rex eating a Raptor?
[T-Rex growling]
-That's a power move right there. -[Justin] Yeah.
Good for you, RAM. Good for you.
In order to increase the power of a gas engine,
it's a different process than a diesel engine.
You know, on a diesel engine you can tune them, you can put bigger turbos on them.
With the RAM it's going to be a different story.
-Nice. -[chuckles]
Whoo!
All we're going to do is, change the size of the supercharger pulley.
That means the supercharger is going to spin faster.
It's going to create more boost,
and in turn, the truck's going to have more power.
But not only that,
it's also going to get better fuel economy,
it's going to be better with emissions.
What I've learned over the years
is anything that restricts airflow is a big problem.
Getting more air to the engine means more power.
If you look at how smooth this aftermarket one is,
-Yeah. -it really is going to make a difference
with airflow, obviously.
Not only are we going to speed up the rate of air compression in the supercharger,
the wider opening is going to allow for more air to flow.
[Diesel] You guys are so efficient at this.
[Heavy] Adding another 90 horsepower
to a truck that already has over 700 horse,
might seem a little crazy.
So, I'm really impressed with the way they did this truck.
[Diesel] I am too.
[Heavy] But since we're going to be adding larger 37-inch tires to the TRX
and that robs some of the power that came from the factory,
we're going to be adding it right back with some high performance parts,
so that the people who enter the giveaway
can get a truly, unique, one-of-a-kind high performance truck.
[Diesel] Hey, Mus...
-Fire it up. -Don't tell me what to do.
[Diesel] Yes, sir.
Come on, baby. Let's see...
[engine roaring]
[Diesel] Yeah. That's--
[Muscle] It's done and it's ready for the dyno.
Next, we're adding the bigger wheels and tires to our RAM TRX.
We're going to take it down to the dyno
to see how much of that added power is actually making it to the wheels.
That way we can make sure
that we're squeezing every last drop of horsepower out of this monster engine
before we give it away.
Meanwhile, we're gonna pull in our 1957 Chevy rat rod...
Uh, something... something's not working.
The steering isn't working.
[Justin] Is that really not turning?
Huh.
...and start digging into the mechanical issues to see what we got to fix.
We definitely want to address these oil leaks.
-It's actually dripping on the floor? -[Justin] Yes, it is.
So, we know we're leaking oil.
So, we're going to find the holes, we're going to plug those up,
and then we're going to do once over to find out
what gaskets, what seals, what bolts we need to replace as well.
Obviously, we need valve cover gaskets because those are leaking.
Exhaust manifold gaskets.
[Diesel] So, once we get the Chevy up in the air,
we take a look at the oil pan, the brake lines,
the power steering, the suspension components,
anything else that might have gone bad in the last 60 years.
[Justin] I think our biggest issue is this oil pan gasket.
This gasket has definitely seen better days.
The oil pan gasket seals the oil pan to the bottom of the engine block
and prevents the motor oil from leaking out of the engine.
[Justin] You can see that they're made out of a paper material.
It's not a great gasket material for longevity.
If this engine had been sitting for a while,
these gaskets will dry out,
and then they'll start to crack and deteriorate.
And then you get a couple of heat cycles through them, they will start to get hard.
And then the oils soak again and then they just-- they just--
[Diesel] Just goes through that process?
Yeah. They just fall apart.
As long as we can get the new gasket on,
-problem solved. -[Justin] Yeah.
Now in theory, replacing a gasket is pretty simple.
But when you got this giant Cummins motor stuffed into an old 1950's Chevy
by a farmer who didn't have all the fancy tools that we do in our shop,
you run into a lot of issues.
[Justin] I don't see this thing coming out without pulling the engine.
This is obviously the risky run when you're buying a diesel swap.
You might get a hodgepodge of parts that go in,
but they might be pretty hard to come right back out.
Heavy D doesn't want to go down a rabbit hole.
Yeah. Probably doesn't want us pulling this motor.
We don't really want to pull this motor
'cause it could take us weeks to be able to get it go back in.
So, we've only got one option.
We have to install this gasket blind.
If I start feeding this over to your side,
then you can grab that and pull it around that oil pick up tube.
-[Justin] Can you fill that in there? -[Diesel] Yeah.
[Diesel] Now how fragile is that?
[Justin] It will tear if you pull it too hard.
That's going to be our biggest thoughts. Right there.
Get it lined up on the front where we can't see it.
Can you lift up on the back of the panel, a little?
We have to be extremely careful not to tear this gasket
to make sure everything is lined up right
and get that oil pan sealed up tight.
Because if it's not, you'd still have an oil leak,
all the oil could leak out and the engine could seize up.
Even the little insignificant parts
serve a huge purpose in keeping your build together.
Everybody has a purpose in life.
-[Justin] Even me? -Even you.
Whoo! Snug as bug in a rug.
The gasket is on,
the oil pan sealed up tight.
Now what we've got to do is replace the valve cover.
Feel that.
-[Diesel] Oh, yeah. -[Justin] Oh, yeah.
[Justin] Notice the difference, already.
We shouldn't have any oil leaks.
[Diesel] Put some fresh oil in this puppy,
and fire it up to check our work.
Fire it up.
[engine starts]
-Good? -We did it!
[Diesel] No more oil leaks.
Man, it's a good thing we did all those things.
[Heavy] I am glad that we were able to fix
the leaky oil pan on this rat rod.
However, there are still a lot of mechanical issues
that we got to, like, take a close look at.
Make sure it's not gonna be a problem for the future buyer.
And based off the condition of the oil pan,
yeah, just a little scared as to what we might possibly find.
Go time. Come on, baby.
[engine revving]
I don't know what it is. But I know I love it already.
-Have you ever driven a Hemet before? -No.
Hey! We got a Hemet!
Yeah!
I called in a favor.
My boy's down at Turbo Lab have a dyno.
For our latest giveaway, we'll letting anybody get entered to win
an over the top, first of its kind, RAM TRX.
We added a Ripatuned system
that adds another 90 horsepower to the 702.
It's already making to the crank.
I don't know what I would do with a truck
with this much power when I was kid.
I know what you would have done.
I would've put it in a ditch.
[both laughing]
But this giveaway is all about power.
So now that we've added bigger wheels and tires,
we want to see how much that power is actually making it to the ground,
so that people know what they're getting when they get entered to win.
[Heavy] Power to the wheels on the dyno
is usually about 20 percent less
than the power that the engine is actually making.
What's up, guys?
[Muscle] What up, Joe?
-[Diesel] What up, Joe? -How are you?
So, if we get a reading anything over 600,
well, that means that we're easily over 700 on the engine.
So, that's a good place for us to be.
A dyno measures how much horsepower and torque a vehicle has
by strapping it down to an actual wheel
that is connected to a computer.
The wheel dyno will actually read
how much horsepower and torque comes directly
from the motor to the wheels of the vehicle.
All right. Here we go.
All right. It's go time.
[Diesel] Come on, baby.
[engine roaring]
[Diesel] Whoo!
-[Muscle] Where we at? -[Diesel] What did get? What did we get?
[Diesel] Whoo!
-Six hundred and eighteen. -Six hundred and eighteen!
[Diesel and Muscle cheering]
That's what I'm talking about.
[Joe] Now I'll put my foot all the way down.
[Diesel] There you go, baby.
[Muscle] I'm super happy with the new pulley system.
It's got us all the horsepower and the torque that we wanted.
-[Diesel] Whoo! -[Muscle] What did it show?
[Joe] Six hundred twenty.
And no issues with the motor when we floored it.
While we're getting close to finishing up our giveaway build,
we're just getting started on all the issues with our 1957 Chevy 210
with a diesel conversion.
No more oil leak!
[Heavy] The plan is to auction this off as a rat rod, which is good and bad
because it takes the pressure off of it having to be perfect
but puts a lot of pressure on it needing to be mechanically sound.
What are you doing under there?
Rear diff cover is leaking.
[Muscle] Just be careful now.
This is where it gets dirty.
There's not a lot of oil in here,
so, it must have been leaking for a while.
And it's really burnt and it's really stinky.
[Muscle] Ooh! That is stinky.
Like any kind of fuel, when oil heats up it can burn.
And overtime this rear diff is leaked more and more,
which is awesome more and more friction inside,
eating things up and any kind of oil that is leftover has been burnt to a crisp.
Honestly, this is probably the rear diff that was in this car
when it came from the factory in 1957.
So, this rear differential has seen some abuse.
We're not going to panic.
We're going to take the rear diff cover off,
we're going to scrape away that old oil gasket
and then we're going to put it back on and make sure that it's got a good seal.
If you were an oil smell that it would be you.
The meanest thing you've ever said to me.
[Muscle] That's not true.
[Diesel] So, uh, what does a rear diff do anyway?
[Muscle] A rear diff actually is a...
geometrical...
This is how you want to explain it to America.
[Muscle] Well that's why I'm trying to decide.
You're gonna use geometrical?
-Does he not know how to say the word? -[clicks tongue]
I'll take it from here.
The rear differential is basically a unit
that is connected to the axle shafts which are connect to the wheels.
As the car turns, this wheel goes faster than this wheel.
So, they have to be able to spin separately from each other
but at the same time take equal power from the transmission,
which is what the driveshaft gives it.
To do this, inside the differential are a series of gears.
The spider gear at the center meshes with the two side gears attached to the drive shaft
and rotates not only with the ring gear,
that meshes with the pinion gears attached to each axle
but also on its own axis.
The spider gear can make both wheels spin at the same speed
by rotating with the ring gear.
Or at different speeds, by turning on its own axis,
creating combined rotation that speeds up or slows down the ring gear,
depending on how much power each wheel needs.
So, we're going to make our own gasket is what you're saying.
This RTV is essentially a silicone gasket maker.
With this being a silicone base,
this is a little more flexible.
Any kind of vibrations and things like that
that we're going to get back here in this rear diff,
this will definitely hold up better than just a paper gasket over time.
All right. We are sealed up.
Ta-da!
Pump. Pump it up. Pump the oil in.
I don't see any oil leaks anywhere which is a really good sign with a new gasket.
This thing is good to go.
And it's going to run for many, many years.
[Heavy] Now that the rear diff is cleaned up,
we can focus on the remaining mechanical issues that the rat rod might have.
And then we'll be able to come throw our own little splash of style at it.
While I have got something up my sleeves that I'm pretty excited about.
I'm gonna be honest, in the seven years we've been here,
I have never been on the roof.
[Heavy] You've never on the roof?
[Diesel] I don't think so.
[Heavy] Welcome to the club.
So, while I was looking for different, you know, auction vehicles,
like, when I was searching for the Chevy 210...
[exclaims]
...I came across this
big, beautiful beast right here.
That, my friend, is a Hemet.
-[Diesel] Is that a swimming pool in the back? -[Heavy] It could be.
[Joe] This a 1988, M985, 15-ton truck
and you've got an 18-foot cargo back.
Hemet is, in my opinion, one of the coolest vehicle the military ever built.
It's eight by eight twin front steering,
got lots of power,
it's designed to be able to haul tractors, trailers,
cargo, troops, you know, rockets,
basically anything you need in really bad conditions,
that's what the Hemet's best at.
I love it! [exclaims]
The moment I've been waiting for a long time.
-Have you ever driven a Hemet before? -No.
[Heavy] This Hemet is absolutely one of the most beastly,
monstrous military trucks I've ever got my hands on.
However, we've to realize...
even if Red Beard would allow me to buy it,
the seller doesn't want to sell it for cash.
He wants something of mine.
America! Yeah!
It's a Hemet!
[Heavy] Wow!
So, Joe, I obviously love what you brought me.
Do you want to see what I have for you?
Yeah. Let's check it out.
Wow! look at that.
[Heavy] Yeah.
This is a rare beast.
There's probably less than a hundred of them
that have been surplused in civilian hands.
This is one of my greatest purchases yet.
We built this track cargo carrier quite a while ago.
The tank started.
It's a big day.
We got it appraised and the appraisal came in high.
Selling for 45 grand.
[Diesel] Yeah!
The personnel carrier was going to be one of the vehicles
that we had lined up for the auction.
But I got to thinking,
if I sell all my toys
I'm going to be a very sad boy.
[Joe] Everything looks great.
I think this is a good trade.
I think this will work out great for me.
So, even though I have no intentions
of putting this Hemet up on the auction block,
I still think that with this vehicle
we can create some ridiculously cool videos to put on the internet.
And who knows? Maybe later down the road,
we'll start doing some modifications to it.
But for now, the only thing I gotta try to do
is not let Red Beard find it.
[Muscle] It's time to find out the winner of...
[both together] The TRX!
[Muscle] And-- Oh! Down Red Beard goes.
[Diesel] Can you handle 700 horses?
-Damn! You think you can handle that kind of power. -Yes. I can!
[Heavy] We spent ten grand on a Cummins swapped old classic Chevy
that we were planning on using as kind of our first rat rod and a big auction build.
I was determined after I saw the rust, I wasn't going to buy it,
but you got yourself a deal, man.
I'll tell you, these mechanical issues on this car just keep adding up.
These backyard farm builds...
You get that with your moonshine.
[Muscle] ...they just kind of take any parts they have there on the farm
to make things run.
But right now, we have an even bigger albatross around our neck
that we need to take care of.
Start it up. Let's get it out. Let's go over this way.
We're at the shop bright and early because we got one mission today.
We need to move the Hemet out of sight of Red Beard.
You gotta hurry.
Heavy D made the best trade of his career,
trading the tank for this Hemet.
The Hemet is the coolest vehicle but if Red Beard finds out,
all hell is going to break loose
because the tank was an auction vehicle.
[Muscle] Keep going.
Instead of getting that money, Heavy D has traded the tank for the Hemet,
which we will probably keep forever in all eternity.
-[horns honking] -[Muscle] Oh...
-[Diesel] Oh... -[bleep] going on. [bleep]
Why are you here so early?
What the hell is this?
[Diesel] Heavy D's new Hemet.
Definitely the most badass vehicle we've ever had.
[Red Beard] Wait. Hold on. Hold on.
How did we get it? So, it's for him?
Yeah. We traded for it.
We traded it for what?
You know, that old, uh, military tank we had.
You traded the military tank for this?
-Yeah. -Yeah. It's Heavy D's new Hemet.
This is a huge problem.
Heavy D already bought a hunk of junk Chevy for a ton of money,
and now he's trading what could be really big auction builds
for his personal projects.
I'm gonna make Heavy D...
replace the vehicles he's taken from the auction
with his own personal vehicles if I have to.
If it's the last thing I do,
he's going to replace it.
You're going to do that with that man, bun?
[Red Beard] Yeah. I do everything with this man, bun.
-He's mad. -Yeah, he's mad.
And you know what?
It's not going to make him any happier
when I tell him what he has to do to announce the TRX winner.
[blows whistle]
What time is it?
It's time to find out the winner of...
-The TRX! Yes! -The TRX baby!
[Diesel] It was a pretty big risk giving away a gas truck.
But you know what?
Adding 100 horsepower to that already insane amount of power that truck has, paid off.
And we got a mega ton of entries.
So now, it's time to shoot a video to announce the winner to all of our fans.
What better way to do it than with some T-Rex's.
Bring them out!
-[Muscle] Here we go! -[Diesel] Bring them out. Bring them out.
[Diesel] Bring them out. Bring them out.
-[Muscle] Looks like one of them fell. -[Diesel laughs]
[Diesel] Straight from the prehistoric age,
these five dinosaurs are here to compete for the TRX.
Out of all the entries, we narrowed it down to five finalists.
And each of our T-Rexes
are going to compete against each other.
They're going to receive a name for someone they're competing for.
A color so that we can tell them apart.
And then they will compete in the ultimate obstacle course
to decide the winner.
You know, this costume is a little awkward,
but at the same time I feel pretty cool
because I'm a dinosaur.
[Diesel] Do you think anybody's going to puke in their suit?
-[Muscle] Absolutely. -[Diesel] It's got to be hot in there.
Yeah. This was a crazy idea.
[Diesel] On your mark,
get set,
[blows whistle]
Oh! There, Justin takes a hit to the head!
Down, Red Beard goes. Down, Red Beard goes.
Oh!
Here he comes!
-It really slowed down. -All I see is a bunch of...
T-Rex heads flopping around in there. [laughs]
This is absolutely embarrassing.
We cannot see what's going on in the mess and the chaos.
Is it all extinct in there?
There's one! There's one! Who is it?
-[Diesel] It's Red Beard! -[Muscle] It's Red Beard!
It's Red Beard!
Come on Red Beard!
Oh! Come on, Red Beard!
-Here comes Justin! -Here comes Justin!
-[Diesel] Big boss. -[Muscle] Justin...
And he misses completely.
-Red Beard! -Red Beard!
[both cheering]
You did it! You did it!
-[all cheering] -You did it!
You, I cannot...
Oh, man! How was it?
-It's hot. -[Muscle] Are you okay?
[Red Beard] I think I'm going to pass out.
[Muscle] Who... who were you fighting for?
Art Salinas.
Hey! What do you want to say to Art?
You're welcome, Art.
Enjoy your truck.
You just won the TRX!
[all together] Yeah!
Hey, Red Beard was pretty pumped that he won the competition, right?
Yeah. Yeah. He had a good time.
Do you think that's going to distract him long enough
to keep him from remembering
that I need to give up one of my other builds?
No. Not a chance.
Especially when he finds out the Chevy still stuck at the shop.
We need to figure out what's wrong with the steering
'cause I noticed, when Heavy D was hot rodding it...
Look at it dragging.
...then we had to push it into the shop after.
Go do the wiggle-jiggle test.
-[Diesel] Yeah. -Oh, that's...
That's the full failure right there. It doesn't have anything.
So, a combination of age of this 1957 Chevy and Heavy D's wild driving
has done something, no bueno, to the steering,
which we need to get to the bottom of,
before we add any of our own Diesel Brothers touches to this rat rod.
Something's not working.
The steering isn't working.
Steering issues could be caused by a number of things
from the steering wheel to the steering box
to the tie rods connected to the wheels themselves.
The problem is with this big, old Cummins stuffed inside,
getting to the broken connection could be the issue.
[man 1] Dang! The steering box is clear up here by the firewall.
Oh, yeah.
There's... there's your problem right there.
[Diesel] Do you see it?
[man 1] Yeah. It's got a busted rag joint.
[Diesel] So, the rag joint that connects the steering wheel
to the steering shaft is busted.
And hopefully, that's it.
Or else we could be expecting bigger delays.
[man 1] The rag joint is completely destroyed.
[Diesel] Oh, the bolts aren't even in.
Well, the bolts would have been in
-They tore it out. -if the coupler was there.
So, even though we haven't found any major issues,
all these dumb little mechanical fixes,
they're just taking so much time.
And with the auction, like less than three weeks away,
the more time we spend on this means
the less time and energy and money
that we have to spend on more auction builds.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to see what our Hemet,
M985 is capable of, versus the freedom bus.
Whoo-hoo!
[Heavy] You're gonna drive the freedom bus, I'm gonna drop the Hemet.
-Okay. -We're gonna do a tug of war right now.
[horns honking]
Go!
Wow!
Oh! Hemet's got this.
[Heavy laughs]
What?
[Diesel] That was impressive.
-[Heavy] You just got your ass dragged. -[Diesel] Yeah.
-You got your little ass kicked. -I'm out of here.
See that. That's what it looks like to lose.
After a very intense winner selection...
[Muscle] There's one! There's one! Who is it?
-[Muscle] It's Red Beard! It's Red Beard! -[Diesel] It's Red Beard!
...our TRX is polished up and ready to meet its new owner, Art Salinas.
And they're gonna do it in the TRX's natural habitat.
[Muscle] You don't just take this truck and give it to somebody
in the street, somewhere in a city.
-No. You bring them here in the dirt-- -So, they can experience it.
Yes. And show them exactly what they just won.
[Diesel] Oh, Art. Today is the day.
[Art] Yes, it is.
You get to see to see your truck for the first time. You excited?
-Stoked. -[laughs]
So ready for this.
Well, have you seen a TRX before?
[Art] Not in person.
[Diesel] You're gonna be one of the only guys
in the world, driving a TRX.
Are you ready?
I'm so ready right now.
Look out there.
About to crest over that hill is going to be the most glorious truck.
It comes from the factory with 700 horses.
Can you handle 700 horses?
I will handle that.
-Do you think you can handle that kind of power? -Yes, I can!
[Diesel] Brace yourself 'cause it's incoming.
Muscle! Bring it in!
Whoa! [exclaims]
Yeah!
-[Art] Yeah! -[Diesel] Whoo-hoo!
[Diesel] Get it, Art.
[laughs]
-[all cheering] -Yeah!
Yeah!
-[Muscle] Get in! -[Diesel] Don't you feel it?
[Diesel] Love it! Yes!
Oh! You look perfect in there.
-[Muscle] Rev it off. -[Diesel] Rev it off.
-[engine roaring] -Give her some love.
Oh, my God!
Yeah, buddy.
Sounds awesome.
When I put the pedal down,
instant insanity.
[Diesel] Look, under here...
you see all those blue pulleys?
-[Art laughs] -That's a Ripatuned system.
[Diesel] It's got a ported snout pulley system
that added a hundred horse to this motor.
The motor already comes with 700 horses, Art.
We're crazy enough to put another 100 in there
because you deserve another 100.
Damn right, I do.
-Whoa! -[Diesel] Yeah!
You put all that power on the streets of Las Vegas.
-Oh, yeah. -[Muscle] Yeah, buddy.
[Diesel] Then...
So, you heard that beautiful sound?
Oh, yeah.
[Diesel] That's an MBRP Cat-Back exhaust.
So, when you take your kids to school,
everybody's gonna hear you coming.
We put on 37-inch tires.
Those are huge tires.
Nobody has a TRX with 37-inch tires.
And as you can see,
probably the most beautiful blue color I've ever seen in my life.
Whoo-hoo!
I've never been in a lifted truck like this before with 800 horsepower.
[Diesel] Whoa!
-Oh, my God! -Yeah!
This thing is awesome.
[Art] I've never been off-road.
-[Art] It's awesome. -You've never been off-road?
[Art laughs] No.
And you're driving?
-Yeah, bro. -[laughs]
-Driving 800 horsepower. -Yeah. That's right.
What I love most about the TRX is the 800 horsepower.
It's putting your foot down to the pedal,
the dust in the rear view mirror at any time.
-[Art laughs] -[Muscle and Diesel] Whoo-hoo!
-[Diesel] There you go. -[Muscle] That's how you do it.
That's what I'm talking about.
I'm super pumped that we were able to take
a gasoline powered truck, the RAM TRX
and insert it into our, you know, usually diesel only giveaways.
And have a bunch of really happy customers who loved it,
without having to pull a ton of time and resources away from the shop
to be able to get the build done,
and that's a win.
[Art] Oh, my goodness. I can't even see.
-[Muscle laughs] -I can't see.
Especially since the Chevy still has kind of a long ways to go
before it's ready for the auction, in less than three weeks.
And I still have a couple other builds I want to get my hands on
and get ready for the sale.
And don't forget about the thing you got to add to the auction
in exchange for Red Beard letting you keep the Hemet.
[sighs]
What happening on the screen? You know--
I actually don't want to know.
We're now only three weeks away from our big diesel auction.
Are you ready to behold the Chevy 210?
I'm serious. Like, I feel like I'm in a dump truck.
That's how my whole life feels.
[Heavy] With three new auction builds...
I've never driven one of these before.
Oh! Hey!
It's actually two Corvettes put together.
You really do look like a Corvette guy.
You look just like my dad.
You know Rattletrap. It's awesome.
But it could be awesomer.
Maybe we shouldn't sell it.
