From chasing electrical gremlins to battling fuel system problems, Wrecker Rick is wrenching nonstop while hauling the family along for the ride. It’s part rescue mission, part road trip, and all heart—the kind of story every gearhead, truck driver, mechanic, construction worker, lineman, and hardworking blue-collar American can relate to. Rick doesn’t back down easy. Built on grit, busted knuckles, and determination, he sets out to rescue a 1981 Kenworth Cabover with a Big Cam Cummins that’s been sitting dead in Willcox, Arizona for over 6 years. The goal? Bring it back to life and drive it 400 miles home—where it’ll eventually get a cab swap onto the 10x10 military truck he hauled from Georgia (watch that video here 👉 https://youtu.be/nzlkL0oLUck). Of course, nothing’s easy when you’re rescuing old diesel iron. Between roadside wrenching, towing troubles, and juggling life on the road with the Mrs. and kids, Rick’s got his hands full. 👉 And don’t miss the ending—because in true Murphy’s Law fashion, Wrecker Rick barely makes it not even 2 miles down the road before breaking down again. #MurphysDiesel #KenworthCabover #BigCamCummins #ClassicDiesel #DieselRescue #TruckRestoration #BlueCollarLife #MechanicLife #ConstructionLife #LinemanStrong #OldTruckRescue #CaboverKenworth #CumminsPower #FamilyRoadTrip #TruckDrivers
