Transmission troubles with Ol Blue shows exactly why Trailmater has a manual transmission. We finally got a handle on our cooling system just to test it and find a broken transmission housing. Then we ordered a new housing. While waiting on that we got a call for a stuck jeep on Kane Creek Road. Was a muddy job but it went fairly quick. Then back to reassembling my transmission shows why I’m not a transmission rebuilder. So back to the drawing board for some things. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

When I worked at a multiple truck garage a few of us would clean out the sumps in the floor drain. That wet stuff like you guys went through was heavy as heck. Another win for "Mater."
Transmission work is lond and tedious……VERY VERY EXPENSIVE…..! RORY JUST MADE IT LOOK LIKE IT TOOK 20 MINUTES TO SWAP A CASE AND GEARS!!!!
I enjoy most of the content…except scenes with Blue’s exhaust sound. One of the worst exhausts I’ve ever heard.
Rory is definitely a man of style. Who else would wear a pair of white sneekers when they were going on recovery where the surface is 12 inches deep in brown liquid silt? A man to acknowledge and a style to copy.
What are the vise grips for that are by the drive pulley on the blower
Sand and grease don't mix. Make stuff stick
The sound of the supercharged Big block in old blue is hard to beat
Great video, enjoyed seeing Rory non Chantily fix the transmission good going. But was the fix for the front drive shaft, what caused it not to slide in and out. Serious watching fans need to know. Thanks
Ole blue is sweet all purpose truck
Big block Chevy power
I am sure you have it worked out by now but one thing I saw in your new trans test drive was the extremely hard shifts. That will break stuff quick. What you should be looking for is a firm shift with no overrun. That separator plate has probably been drilled for maximum hard shift. Possible the valve body also. A lot of racers like that because it breaks the tires loose on the shift. Not efficient but sounds and looks neat. In a vehicle like your the tires are not going to break before the transmission or axles do. Just something to think about.
Those coated slip yokes are garbage for off road use. They all seize up eventually.
i got to moab on the 24th sunday am, man, what a flood we experienced that afternoon on the soverign area trails. i stopped by to say hey 10 days later and got a bunch of stickers from chris, you were in g.j. place is looking sweet after last years huge move, i was going to bbq a tri tip, to feed all of you, but that had to happen elsewhere, ill try again next year, ive got the 1990 white dodge diesel with the poptop camper pulling the toy box if you remember, hope to see yyou guys next summer.
More great content ! Thanks for sharing !
I’m sorry but blue sounds like poo 💩 please put some mufflers on her
Mike and Shawn working on transmission, discussing how something BAD has happened. Que the Rory! Good technique, check for leaks and then put the oil in. Brilliant! Thanks guys, love the low drama and excellent results. Thank you
Good luck on the hunt Mike…..just about that time in Tx. What's the deal with the vice grips under the hood?
Old Blue was probably thinking the same thing when you ran Pritchett. “Rory you’re going to be the death of me”.
Nice ride! Great video. So much fun. Trailmater is an amazing rig!
Oh yuck !!!!!!! I don’t know which is worse, broken parts or mud ………. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
2:32 Something bad happened??
Rory new nickname is "Something Bad"
Ha
Ole blue will be the death of you? or is it the other way around? As soon as you repair it you take it out and try to destroy it.
"There'll be none of that!" 🙂 I've lost count of how many times I've said "A smart guy would have …" Usually after the decision point where it is too late to have been that smart guy.
Mike is a bow hunter? Where are those videos Mike? I would love to see tou do your nature talks and then stalk something down
that was highly impressive!! right on mike for coming in on a Sunday! And Rory-look at good ol trail mater still killing it. Rad little episode with my dinner thank you boys 🤝⚡️🇺🇸
Jb weld it
Ol' Blue might be the death of you…but that blatty exhaust sound will be the death of my volume turned up🤣🤣🤣.But seriously, turn those babies down right in front of the axle, kindy like thee Famous Trail Mater that has awesome exhaust sound!😊
There is no such thing as cheap horsepower. And sometime expensive horsepower is actually more expensive horsepower.
I really love how you guys make it seem like that video is going to end and that gives me time to give a like I really like that.
glad to see trail mater at work again
The np203/np205 is too heavy! That’s why it broke. I broke two then I said piss on the th400. Sm465-magnum/np205
Always something!
See transmission issue on rat rod tow truck, fab rats channel. About 2/3 thru the video
Old trucks are fun… repeat until you believe. 😀
Great job guys. Thank you 😊
Don't worry Mike, I used to play the video game Tron when I was a teenager that the movie was based on
Maybe time to invest is some muck boots for the special occasions. 😂. Great video! Keep ‘em coming!
