I love this truck.
If you weren’t already aware, the folks at Hot Rod Garage have themselves a 1973 Dodge D200. It’s a sweet pickup, and you see far less D-series trucks than you do Chevys and Fords. Tony Angelo (Hooniverse Podcast Guest) has taken the truck and swapped in a Cummins turbo diesel engine, and the result is one bad-ass oil-burning truck.
In the latest episode of Hot Rod Garage, the crew over there upgrades the truck even further. I’d say that I think a burnout match is in order between #RollSmokey and HoonTruck, but I don’t stand a chance in that battle.
Roll On, Smokey!

Even though I got upset about the whole HCOTY/Roadkill thing, I really like all of Motor Trend’s video series, especially Hot Rod Garage and Roadkill.

Meh, some of their fans got upset – remember those who are most vocal (good or bad) don’t represent the majority of a readership. Far less people choose to comment than to read and enjoy.
Also, both HRG and RK are awesome.-
I wish to represent that portion of the readership which thinks of this at the mention of HRG:

Hmm. I never even thought about cleaning fresh brake rotors (~09:00). It makes sense here since the wheel bearings were freshly repacked with grease, but if I’m leaving the hub on the spindle I just slap on the rotors and go.
-
New brake rotors should always be cleaned before installation because there is usually some sort of preservative grease or lacquer on the rotors to keep them from rusting in storage and shipping. This stuff is no good for your brake pads so a quick wipe down with brake cleaner and possibly an abrasive pad is in order before use.

” … It’s a sweet pickup, and you see far less D-series trucks than you do Chevys and Fords …”
I realize I may get called on this, but I must bring attention to the use of one word. Take out “less” and replace it with “fewer”. Of late, I am seeing those words used interchangeably, which is incorrect. “Then” and “than” are two other words that suffer the same fate.
Read your sentences aloud before hitting send!
Oh yeah … nice truck. I’ve been driving the same F-150 for 27 years, bought it new. Hasn’t died yet.-
Your write.
