On today’s episode of Murphys Diesel, Wrecker Rick receives an incredible gift — a classic military 5-ton diesel truck with a Cummins engine— and he’s completely overwhelmed with honor and gratitude. The only problem is this abandoned diesel truck has been sitting in Scottsdale, Arizona for nearly 15 years without running. When the crew arrives, they quickly realize this won’t be an easy truck recovery. The military truck won’t start, the tires are completely flat, and there’s barely enough room to work around the old rig. Still, Wrecker Rick and the guys are determined to bring this classic diesel back to life and attempt the 4-hour drive home. After hours of diesel repair work, troubleshooting fuel issues, changing parts, and fighting through mechanical failures, the team finally gets the engine to fire. But the celebration doesn’t last long. More breakdowns force the crew to pause the recovery mission and return with additional tools and parts to keep the old truck restoration moving forward. Knowing this abandoned truck rescue is turning into a multi-day adventure, Rick brings the gals along for round two. Between roadside repairs, towing challenges, heavy wrecker work, and nonstop problem-solving in the Arizona heat, the entire family pitches in to help save the old military vehicle. What started as a simple diesel revival quickly became one of the wildest Murphys Diesel adventures yet. From unexpected setbacks to unforgettable laughs, this truck rescue tested everyone’s patience while creating memories the crew will never forget. Will the military 5 ton finally survive the long drive home? Can the crew keep this old diesel truck running? Or will another mechanical problem end the recovery before they make it back? 🔥 Don’t forget to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE for more Murphys Diesel adventures with Wrecker Rick, heavy recovery projects, abandoned truck revivals, and behind-the-scenes diesel life! #MurphysDiesel #WreckerRick #MilitaryTruck #5TonTruck #DieselRevival #TruckRecovery #HeavyWrecker #TruckRescue #DieselRepair #ScottsdaleArizona

It's always nice to see Goldie! She isn't on as many videos as Dayton & Smoak.
I’m not sure if I like your problem solving, jokes, or seeing a happy family more. Love your channel💪🏾
I have a 1972 am general m818a2 5 speed manual transmission awesome truck drive it to work sometimes 12k original miles.
I actually met the guy that gave you the 5 ton last time I was down at Jack's in Tucson getting tires for my 6x6 skoolie. Pretty righteous mission they were on. Sad to see it didn't work out.
"They used to call me Air Hockey Hazel" HAHAHA ! Rick, please stop diving into those little swimming pools. If it's less than 10ft. . FEET FIRST. Trust me on this one. LOL
Why nowbody move the 250 truck. Is that so difficult.
Ya that "plant" saves people it brought me back when I had cancer i'm about 6"3 and was down to 115 lbs. after my last sergery and with that plants help i got back up to 180 lbs.
Your patience is way better than mine is .... now. Once upon a time I had way more but at 67 I have much less for my mistakes. I am working on a 2005 Honda motorcycle that has been sitting for over 8 years. It was given to me for free and I get stuff like this and when I do I fix it up for people that just need transportation. I either give it to them or sell it for pennies on what I have in it. I think if they put a few bucks in it they seem to take better care of it. Ok, so I have to remove the carburetor for the 3rd time now. I forgot to set the floats after rebuilding it. I will not tell you the words I am using but I think I am even cussing in other languages that I don't even speak other than these cuss words. As my mind slips into old age I think it is dragging my patience with it. I love how you are like no big deal I have to remove the pump .... again. I say the same thing but with way more descriptive words! Keep on making these videos, I love your content combined with you humor and I almost always learn a new way or trick of doing something.
Im sure you have answered this before, how the hell did you manage to land mrs. Wrecker Rick? I also have a wife out of my league lol always fun to here these stories. Love the family aspect you have and your amazing crew! Keep up the good work we love your content
Mrs. Wrecker Rick, how did you land such a good looking guy? 😂 I love seeing you being healthy Rick. We can tell that you put in a lot of effort... obviously all for Mrs. Wrecker Rick's benefit.
The 550 is a service truck, why don’t you dedicate a full set of tools to it?? Whoever took out that 1 inch impact should detail the 5 ton if/when you get home!
Another great video keep them coming . Family that works together stays together
From someone who has bounced around the desert in one of those I say nice ride!!! Love it!!
Hellboy T-Shirt arrived super quick, thank you to the ladies who packed and shipped it with care 🇺🇸🏴
I wish I had a cool army truck that Wrecker Rick wanted so he would come hang out at my house for a week
Just want to say thanks Rick for all the great videos you put out. Lots of work making them, but definitely bring joy to all who watch them. Stay safe out there
