When this video was shot dad and I were driving the Power Tour 2019. He had put about 500 miles on the truck, the first 500 miles since I put it together. Since dad owned the truck longer than anyone ,I thought I’d ask him what he thought of the work I did and if he felt it made the truck better or worse.
Special thanks to Shell. They provided the go juice for our trip, which was epic. One of the best times I’ve ever had with my dad. Can’t wait to do it again next year.

You should drop a Coyote in that Fairmont! 😏
This guys rebuild of his dad's truck engine didn't even last a thousand miles before it broke same thing happened to the Fair Lane. Talk about disheartening I feel for you man. It's hard rebuilding any engine but when you add Custom fabrication for HP the difficulty of the job goes up to Mastery levels of knowledge.

The channel that died
Hey Eric, you know how to remove the fuse terminals to a c1500 96 silverado.
Here's a picture of what I'm trying to do. I can not figure out for the life of me how to pull these out so I can repair a burnt up wire that my fuel pump relay burned up

I need help, my front diff 4×4 is making clicking sounds
Do you have any videos on 1 barrel throttle linkage to accelerator pedal
what does dad think about pinching brake lines?
I honestly thought you inherited “dads truck” because dad was no longer with us. I feel pretty silly now. Viva yo fatha!
I lost my dad back in 1982 when I was just 9 years old. Watching these videos is heartwarming and sad at the same time cos I realise I've missed out on so much. But it's so great to see the relationship you have with your dad, you're certainly cut from the same cloth Eric! Cheers buddy. TCB, Marty D 🙂
Ericthetruckdude?
Enjoy your time with your Dad. I lost mine in 1999, WW2 vet, I still miss him dearly. I was 42 when he passed.
Blah blah blah premium gas is premium gas.
I use ONLY Shell 93 octane in my 3.5l 2011 ford taurus daily driver.
Wow at 12.2 at the drag
Nice update glad he loves the truck cool points of view
Great video Eric
Lame way to interview. Did he mention Shell enough ?
I really liked the way you guys did this video. 👍🏻
