He blew up his engine?

 

I wonder how much that cost for that service call or is it free for his show's advertising.

 

Matt has stated in the past that he charges by the hour, regardless of the distance or difficulty.

 

I can just imagine is hourly rate. He is no doubt making money or he would not be bothered to go pull people out of ditches etc etc especially the one he drove 250 miles and the person was already out and gone. I would of doubled the rate to that guy.

 

Rumor is the engine got replaced under a warranty.

 

That is great if it is true but would like to know what cause the engine to blow. His truck is in really good shape , not like he was beating the shit out of it or abusing it wonder if the sand would have something to do with it but then he had a snorkel. Curious

If you are going to off-road like that, at least get an aftermarket Catch Can, like JLT aka J&L JLT is owned by S&B now.

Yeah I was all excited. Tried to find a delete button right afterwards. So is there a way to delete a thread you create?

 

It was all about H2oI!

 

No, only a moderator can delete threads. Typically they just lock them.
