IDK about pant length, but I would like to know more about the truck in the picture with the three sticks.

In Canada , they're all triple digit trucks aren't they ?  or at least by the metric system they are.

Shelby Elliott'd be lick'n his chops look'n at a truck with that much sleeper

That U looks like it's parked next to an  extended hood White Road Boss

It's funny, but true- it didn't bother me a bit in the truck. I could drive from here to Florida easy, the only thing I would worry about was if I had enough hours to get there and where I could park if I didn't. Now when we leave in the car I'm pretty well beat by the time we get to Gretna. Gretna is about 20 miles down the road. 🤣

Funny how that works. Seems like for some reason you feel more in charge or secure (or something) in a truck.

Thanks for that all the same I have never seen anybody go through a truck so fast that manifold impress the shit out of me.. Bob

I know..... that manifold was something.  I had a good feeling about that guy when I saw the picture of him tig welding by the highly flammables in the shop.  They did go through that truck like a house on fire.  Often wondered what ever happened afterwards.

Yes it was

I thought the husband was an airplane mechanic .   Guy was pretty talented whatever he does.

You may be right Mark.. maybe it was a rust bucket and they were just making a video for fun. It sure did tear apart easy..  😉

Then the truck took off row'n gears. Usually that would be something you'd expect to see with a truck with some form of automated transmission.      Still. Not too far from reality in ways, even if it wasn't

I'm still amazed that the little yellow pole was strong enough to rip the tandems out..  Hmmm??  Anyway, still a kickbutt video..   jojo

I have my doubts it real . Even at that, it's funny as hell and unfortunately not extremely overdone.  It's not hard to think of a time seeing someone keep trying something over several times in situations they get into.

Paul, that video was shot at the swift driver training ground...........

and he passed, because he did not lay it on it's side or in a ditch

Now you don't know if that's true  .    

Might've been Prime

If that is the issue, and that tool comes into play ?  someone's gonna have awfully sore arms by the time it's all done 

Probably rotted by the bottoms of the liners. 

Eh..... just as well it was a little flash in the pan. You'd maybe ended up still sport'n a mullet , on dope and Taylor Swift would write a nasty song about ya.

Sounds like a good time to take the oil pan off it, pressurize the cooling system and see where it seems to be coming from..... then get ready to spend some money.

If you want to, you can use a 3/8" extension on a breaker bar, and remove the plug on the top of the front water manifold behind the thermostat housing. As you unscrew it and it gets loose you may hear air come out.. leave the plug in just a bit, then when coolant comes out ,, tighten it up..  For years now, when ever I fill an E-7/E-Tech,  I always remove that plug..  It saves me time and it does very well at bleeding the air..  Jojo

Doesn't hurt to take the blow gun and blow some shop air over the hole Joey's talking about while trying to fill it back up. 

The Mud Mountain guy was on Hiway Through Hell in one episode. Then he ended up with his own show.

But WAIT!  For just An extra 290.95 you can have a truck load! Some exclusions Apply! ( Shipping extra! ) 😅 Yup your looking dapper bro!

!!!!   due too limited supplies OD reserves the right to substitute actual rocks with dried dog feces  !!!!      

gotta watch the fine print too

Joey's right. Never mind shims, if you have a  torque rod that's the wrong length to start out with .  Someone has nice big bushings in them already.... which don't come in them  ( so good chance they could be wrong length ) I see the shocks are on the back (good)  You're way closer to being in line than you think as far as making it work goes.   Major issue with side to side misalignment is those torque rods (or something to do with them)

The side to side torque rod does determine the difference I see on the tape measure.  ( most of it anyway ) all those new U bolts are going to need to be retightened before long. FYI, that truck isn't really fixed from what's in the pictures , might be a little better than it was though
