Call Roush Racing, if anyone from the Terminator program is still around, they will have a good chuckle at your crankshaft failure. There's a terminator balancer in the ceiling of a dyno cell IIRC from like 2001 when during the terminator development program they discovered a lack of fillet in the crank snout and it would snap off. Anyways, the mod motors have needed a bigger crank snout for a very long time with supercharger's. We had a shop mod motor that made pretty ridiculous power back in the day, it would twist the block to much the main cap side bolts would back out. Good shit, was fun. Tire shake will break a crank snout, and send rods flying out the oil pan to.
In the ecotec world, we've been butting huge keyways in the crank for a long time now because ATI would spin and weld itself on and snap the stock bolt. Replace it with a large keyway all the way to the rear main seal and a use an ARP crank bolt and never had that problem again.
Was thinking I know small block chubbies can get cranks with big block snouts, I wonder if you can do the same with a coyote.
Typical ford always breaks down when needed most lol… at least it’s not on a Russian dump !!! 😂
If you ever said a red light and you've been to the side like a diesel or something that's caming, and it makes her engine feel like it's running rough when the Dr. Dead blow by it probably dig house of the balancer that loose hermonics.
@@jeramiahshaffer8414 this video literally features a Ford and a Chevrolet engine breaking exactly the same part.
I had Cleetus sign a jar from bradenton for me this weekend and he took the time to get a better marker to make sure the signature was crisp. He is the guy he is on video, stand-up dude. I super appreciate it and have become a bigger fan!
@justinburdette7529 I had Bob Glidden do the same on my dollar bill, which now lives in a glass case with a Model of his '87 season winning T'bird !!
"Thanks a lot Clay Milliken, you blew our SNOUT OFF!" I am rolling on the floor right now...
well send him the bill 😅
Bro Brent is everywhere lmao 😂 Every video I watch lately from Cleetus, Boostedboiz, Clay Millican and ofc PFI speed.. Brent is in there what a guy 🔥🔥🔥
He’s literally that friend that just randomly comes and goes and somehow knows everyone 😂
He can't work on customer cars, so does youtube full time

His purse he said!😂😂😂
I've developed such a love for that F150. The character it developed with the new supercharger, then the destruction of the crank, now coming back together again. I can't wait to see this thing doing work again. It's such a cool project, even compared to Ruby, Mullet, McFlurry, Leroy, and the rest of the crew that can pull better numbers.
You better order Sam a brace from Australia for his truck because you know he's going to turn his up a bit. 😅😅
His truck is bone stock

Rubie's crank pulley probably broke either from a dynamic balance issue in the accessory drive system or a misalignment in the pulleys or a little bit of both. Ruby has been trying to tell y'all something wasn't right by squealing her heart out.
Exactly
Been squealing for a LONG while 😂😂
You’re forgetting that’s the old Blazer engine. That crank is dead because the blower cracked it.
It broke from 10,000 bald eagles going by
@@AB-80X That was Leroy's engine so it didn't have a blower on it before. They had mentioned that in the video.
“So were gonna leave rip let him get that installed “ that shi had me 😂
Zac needs a "Wire me UP!" shirt
Hell yeah, love that! 😂
Love it!
Seeing little rip just trying to get involved is cute as hell. He's such a little character always trying to help out
Seeing that kid on that channel just goes to show there’s no limits to what Garrett will do for views. There has been several times where you could see that kid was not comfortable with the camera and commotion. Let the kid grow up. The only reason that kid was on his arm is for the likes and views.
@@AB-80Xmust be a miserable life you lived as a kid. Don’t be upset that cleet includes his own son in videos. It isn’t a chaotic or traumatic environment for him and he’s safe so relax.
It was the belt squeak creating bad harmonics that broke the crank.... Hope Ruby is up and running soon.
Combo of the bad harmonics from the belt combined with the moving earthquake that is a top fuel car
WD-40?
Snout of her crank has always been a bit soft. After all, she'll throw belts in the burnout box and has had repeated issues with -braking- {correction} breaking crank position sensors. Why it keeps deflecting and breaking the crank sensors, I'm not sure of, but an alternator alone surely wouldn't be loading it like a supercharger. Maybe the crank is actually twisting and that's what has been causing the movement/deflection of the harmonic balancer. The big fat cam shaft maybe even playing a role in that engines crank problem. Anyway, she'll have a good freshen up and a new crank then she'll be ready for those 6.5sec passes.
@@TheHungrySlug I think the crank sensor problems were with the previous engine. Remember this is Leroy's engine
@@eddominatesAnd they had crank sensor issues during Sickweek.
See what had happened was the harmonic repercussion of that Top Fuel blew the crank off of Ruby😂😂
That literally could have something to do with it... The violent vibrations from the dragster working against the harmonics of the LS might have triggered something.
I’ve watched that clip so many times because it’s so funny. Cleetus’ eyes went 😳 as Clay blew by. Hahaha
@@smooth_ops2942yeah especially since it was probably already cracked...
Ruby shit her drawers!
Blew by you😂
Where's ole Dr Cleeter and Dr Jackstand at? Ready for a day at McFarland laboratory.
Yes please.
I think you mean Dr Spray'em all 😁
Love seeing little rip exploring and how happy he is. I will say that kid will have a full life of excitement ahead of him.
I love this personal beef cleets got for that tesla van 😅
That beef is the only thing interesting about electric vs internal combustion drag race.
I thought I had engine problems! Always good to see Rip in the shop hanging out with his Daddy!!!
I wouldn't be surprised if Clay's car wasn't the reason that Ruby broke. You basically used a sonic weapon at point blank range on the whole car during a pass. You know how you can feel a TF pass in your chest? Well, apparently you can feel it in your crank too!
Would that maybe have thrown extra air into the engine on the fly by?
Had to be. I mean, *it happened when Clay passed him!*
Harmonic vibration is most likely. Pretty sure Clay's car was consuming any air within a 50ft radius of itself.@@opinionsmatter9771
Rip is so handsome and getting so big. he has the blondest hair and bluest eyes. He's going to have the most amazing playgrounds when he grows up. Always looks so happy to be involved.
You always creep out on strangers kids? 😳
I'd say he is a cute kid that's just happy to be with his dad and dad's friends, mucking around with cars and things. Also still amazing just how fast kids grow. He was an armful not long ago! RIP Jack Stand's toolbox. hahaha
@@TheHungrySlug Cleetus probably taught Rip to throw out the 10mm socket first! That was great seeing him go through the tool box. I'm surprised at how much he is doing already and how happy he seems. Maybe we will get to see what it would have been like if Cleetus had raced from being a kid.
@@K20_EM1 The dude paid the kid a perfectly normal compliment, my guy. I'm suspicious of YOU with that reaction...
@@mikescherrer4923 What, like the kinds of people who see a daughter being held up in the air by her dad celebrating and laughing in anime and think her blush means something sus? Those kinds of brainlets I can only laugh at and pity in equal measure XD
You guys have been living a blessed life as far as breakage goes for a LONG time. A couple crank snouts are nothing. Most guys doing what you do have MUCH larger collections of destroyed parts from the learning curve.
The Mach Jesus comment from the Millican crew over the weekend stuck with James lol Love it!
I saw someone (not naming who) pour some CH3NO2 into the Ruby. That person needs to pick up the bill.
I personally think the cold start on that coyote sounds badass!
I do too. Stock GT exhaust doesn't have the X or H pipe design and the sound excellent! It's only when you add a cross exhaust that they sound raspy
Gusset the obtuse angles on new control arms for Mullet. Looks like it won't be in the way.
Cleetus and crew, y'all rock! Clay, going by you at 330mph, broke the crank in Ruby😂. Peace
Brother, we need a Crank'd Shaft shirt with Ruby and Blue on it! Commemorate the "occasion" 😂
It was the belt screech that broke Ruby's crank. It was like "Clay is the last person I will screech in front of..."
I just wish the guys would have put a go-pro in the engine bay to look and see what the crank snout was doing. I think it may have been deflecting under heavy load.
I have checked several times and was getting pretty bummed and then 💥 BOOM! Cleetus dropped a new video 👍👍🇺🇸💪🏻
Hell yeah boys, repping some Aussie parts. We make some good stuff here, definitely worth having a look. Its a wait for parts but its worth it! GET SOME 4L BARRAS OVER!
The coyote chugging to life reminded me of my 7.3 on a cold morning when the glow plug relay went out
I am up here in Prudhoe Bay working and we love our 7.3 Diesel trucks. The only time we turn them off in the winter is for a monthly oil change in a heated shop.
@beckyumphrey2626 coldest it's ever gotten here in Kentucky that I can remember is 17 below zero, but I love my 7.3 as well
Love that you have Rip in the videos and at the shop!!! So AWESOME to see!!! Parenting done very well!
7:28 ruby needs a Junk yard LS and cleetus/James turbo kit! FOR THE PEOPLE❤
I feel like the squeak is coming from the torque tube and not the belt. Considering the engine was changed and it still had the exact same noise. Which may have contributed to the crank failure.
Front accessories stick with the car
What does a torque tube squeak sound like? How can that match a belt squeak sound?
Love seeing Brent the greatest Race week co pilot!
MFP crank support FTW!
No wonder we can't get stock of RC vehicles in Australia haha. Been trying to get my hands on an Infraction for months.
Yeah, my local shop has got a lot that is sitting on back-order. I only went in to look for some Li-Po batteries and half the RC shelves were bare.
Crazy thought but I wonder if the frequency and amplitude of the top fuel car happened to be the resonant frequency of the crank at a high enough amplitude to make it deflect enough to snap at whatever RPM she was turning when Clay blew by you
Better get a brace for Sam too Does anyone remember how he drove the sleeper marauder crown Vic? Bro didn’t wanna let off 😂
Yeah, I'm surprised he drove that f150 in stock form for raceweek. I would have rather seen him in any other hot rod, and it is a POS stripped down truck at that. He deserves some fun and comfort.
@@CGT80 yeah but Sam was super happy so that’s all that really matters
@@CGT80 Because Sam plans to hot rod that truck and have some great fun, I imagine you'll see it soon enough rocking well over 800 horsepower and some extra weight reduction too, why go for extra comforts if they'll just be torn out to make the vehicle more fun? Its a classic first move to make a car faster, and its a free upgrade, tear out the stuff that slows it down, my dad did exactly that to his first car, ripped out the back seats, front passenger seat, spare tyre and other small things from his Oldsmobile Cutlass, I believe he sold them and used that money to upgrade the carb and intake plenum and just tossed the filter, he welded straight pipes and then got into an accident and decided to start actually making money so he could afford more. Now in his early 60s he tells me stories of all the vehicles he's driven, from tiny cars to a quarry truck, even a diesel locomotive once, I'm not sure if it was him or a friend of his that drove an import model BMW Isetta, but my dad had a crazy life regarding cars.
@@Avetho Yeah, I know he plans to hot rod it. If I was in his shoes, I would have upgraded it first but who knows if the timing was off for that. Even his supra would have been an expected choice, unless he doesn't want to put the wear on such a clean car. I have always wanted nicer, so I did many upgrades to my 79 C20 that was my daily driver from 97-2020 including a full roller 406 sbc with forged crank, ported aluminum heads and all the other best stuff to go with it. I added power locks and windows since it is a real Silverado (an actual trim package) but somehow didn't have electric. My 88 K5 Blazer got upgrades, and I would never strip down a vehicle.......different strokes for different folks I guess. Neck, back, and health issues make the ride too rough for me now and I needed more power and fuel mileage and wanted nicer with all the features. I HATE driving and always wanted to be at my destination, although when I was younger there was more fun to it. Well, a top of the line duramax 2500HD CC LB fit the bill and hauls ass with luxury.
Little man is getting so big❤❤
"I wouldn't worry about it" Famous last words
I like seeing Brent hanging around the shop. Good vibes
love how brent is just hanging out in all these car guy's youtube channels, like its not even a thing hes just there because of course he is! love that man
Little Ripper is adorable 😊. Can’t wait to see him tearing up go carts
LOL, go-karts at the Freedom Factory with -Lil- Big Rip!
when all the boys said "oooooh" lookin at the crank support, Rip joined in lol😗
Must have been some crazy harmonics going on with that dragster and your pully breaking off
Your Whipple supercharger came all the way to my hometown Fresno, CA and then back to Freedomtown, FL.
U got any freedom in Fresno after Covid?
The belt squeal broke the snout 😂😂😂
actually.. you're probably not wrong. The reason for the belt squeal and the snout break is probably the same reason. I think the belt squeal was a symptom of a pulley misalignment, which weakened the crank. If you have the belt pulled as tight as it'll get and it still squeals, you aint lined up right. then after a couple hundred million revolutions with the misalignment, the snout has been annealed by the slight tugging and now it's soft/fractured/ready to snap off when the boost rolls in.
Let's goooo with that hitter booyysss!!!
3:37 tye is the type of guy qny race car driver needs❤
good to see Brent still hanging out!
The purple Buenos Dias is one of my favorites, My most complimented hat. I do want a color or gray turbo cleetus hat!
If you have something crack away from welds... There needs to be a plate/gusset there for extra support. Those lower arms aren't built with structural integrity in mind. They're made to save weight, and low weight on such an important element is the dumbest way to save weight.
LS GEORGE hasn't said "Oh NO DUDE!!" like that, since a *special moment on the FASTERPROMS KZhead Channel* ..lol
The time he blew up his burnout truck? 😂
That was a beautiful moment. 😂
@@ghabrielwhaley8408 Seeing George's face and hearing Jackstand yell that he just blew up that evaporust engine was my favorite clip of all time.
Man that was the most hilarious moment in that channels history
absolutely made him what he is today.. *a KEEPER*@@eddominates
4:50 after all the boys go "oooohhhhh" when they open the crank support box..you can hear little Rip let out a "oohh" lol!
I love seeing bits from Australia coming in, but to see bits coming from the next suburb from where i live, popping up in the freedom factory is really cool. Also i used to work in the dyno shop 1 street over from tuff mounts in south Australia which ive also seen on here. Next thing i know ill be seeing cross country intercoolers on here and that will be cool since my dad owns it 😅
Ha my mate just got a cross country intercooler, quality stuff
Welp snappin a crank on a supercharged coyote dont seem so bad when you snap a crank on a turbo LS.
Turbo LS that has made a ton of passes in Leroy, I think that squeaking that Ruby was doing had something to do with it
@@whatta7793 he probably made more passes the first week after going SC than that motor did in leroy and ruby.
@@extremecheddarswityomomidk about that. It has been in there for a long time making at least 2,000 hp
No oil pressure is worse case scenario. Glad it is okay!
poor zach, he looked so heartbroken haha
Them dirtbike RCs are sweet! And them shirts too! May have to order one a day
Always good to see little Ripper in there. He is daddy's little boy for sure. Same age as my grand daughter.
What’s crazy is my dad and I broke all 3 of our cranks in 3 engines this year too! The moon must have shifted lol
In 5 weeks?
"He blew our snout off" 😂
At school my instructor had examples of duramax engines snapping cranks from missfires crankshafts are sensitive to harmonics
Seeing rip hanging out in the shop just makes me smile
FYI, Ford makes an iron block 5.0 yote for people just such as yourself that like to really turn up the power.
Does it have a better crank?
@@duramaxdad not sure where to source cranks, I just saw the release of the block itself.
As someone with all these RCs GREAT SELECTION!!! The Promoto and Mojave 4S I by far my favorite releases of 2023
I'm not into the promoto but agree the 4s Mojave is great. Arrma been killing it lately. They've taken all my money since last July. I'm really hoping they will drop a 8s 5th scale Mojave this year. I have a SBR 2.0 but it's not exactly a mojave type basher sct.
The Mojave looks like a Traxxis UDR with the wrong or irs suspension. Does it handle good? My UDR isn’t a giant basher more a scale realism fun time.
@@duramaxdad it does handle decent. It seems to traction roll less than my SBR 2.0 and my buddies UDR. It does lack that realistic look drifting around but more than makes up for that in toughness. Both the 4s and 6s trucks are tanks. Body post on the 6s is about the only weak part of the whole truck. On a track the UDR is probably better and definitely looks better going around but bashing jumps the Mojave's are hard to beat. The 6s and Fireteam are the same platform and my Fireteam is my toughest rig. I've broken it less than my Xmaxx.
I would be looking into the power steer pump in Ruby. There is a reason its belt is squealing.
Put a front support on😢that LS too now,that will help keep the LS fro breaking too, thanks BigAl California
Just add that to the story, top fuel dragster blowing by not only shutoff the car, it snapped the crankshaft!
Bad detonation could have been the cause of Rubys crank failing. May have rattled the heck out of the crank snout. Check your logs.
Absolutely loving seeing RIP in the videos he's so cute and boy oh boy is he getting big taken after his daddy cleetus God bless you guys love you
Happy about the rear frame rails. 👍
Would be more efficient to make a clean engine room and fly the engine guys to you lol
Little dude needs a ripper Powerweels car.
I still say we need a shirt with a fiero and George and the quote "I'm not afraid of no fiero"
I feel like the vibrations and frequencies from the top fuel car counteract the vibrations and frequencies of ruby and probably vibrated the crank just enough at that high rpm and temps
Rip is the cutest kid in the world, and probably the most handiest in the shop and get those little little hands in there and fix anything
Little hands for those Hard to reach nuts and bolts! My daughter helped me once because my hands were to big to fit into a small gap on my box trailer. I just couldn't pay her, I wouldn't want to violate any child labour laws, haha.
The amount of freedoms that blew past ruby made her pee a little like a nervous puppy lol.
Hell yeah Larry! Good to see you and Rip (great name btw, seriously!) hanging out in the shop, father and son just doing it for Dale!
Love the engine “breakdown” more of that when you can would be sweet!
That squeaky belt on rubie obviously broke that crank . Haha
Well no, the squeak was a symptom from Ruby since years ago, a symptom of pulley misalignment that annealed the snout of the crank and that combined with a likely casting defect just eventually weakened the snout until the extreme harmonics from 1000 pounds of thrust on that side of the dragster ripping past him just was the straw that broke the camel's back, Ruby would've broken her snout on one of the next pulls, Clay just revealed Ruby's incoming bottom-end failure a bit before Ruby was going to say she's had enough.
Hey man i juts wanted to say thank you, your the only reson im where im at in life with the car i have learning the skills i am, and i really appreciate always being able to come over here and watch your videos for aome motivation. But recently i hit a massive set back and i feel like im losing it all , idk if youll read this but if you do and have 5 minutes id appreciate some advice i dont have anyone else to ask so why not mr cleetus haha anyway much love man
He’d say get slideways and let er rip. But what’s bugging butterchip?
@duramaxdad i only need to get about 800 to gwt it legel completely but i dont have friendss i dont have family i have no one to fall back on or even ask for help im just stuck dead in thw water
I like the RC's your adding to orders. That's why I ordered a few items. Fingers crossed 🤞 😊
Looks like my collecting minus the planes, lol. Got the 4s Mojave, 8s exb Kraton, and 6s Infraction. The Infraction is actually 90 + mph if you put on the included speed pinion. I do love my Arrma's!
New Sticker! "Hit it with your purse!"
What happen to Dale truck ? Or it is just sitting in storage
I think the Dale truck has been retired for the most part - in one of the fleet reviews (or it could have been the 1320 garage tour) he said the truck is too precious/sentimental to him and the only time it will make an appearance is on “special occasions”
It was in the hangar/museum in the helicopter video with Brent
Love how u dry cranked it with out priming fuel 😊

Ripper is a doll! Please ensure he is properly spoiled.
Please tell me your not a male. If you are I'd have you blocked fast
Still need that ecoboost F150 front bumper trim to let more air in
These poly-V drives put a lot of tension load on the snouts - as anyone checked the figures for a gilmer belt conversion - it sould be run relatively loose so it's just have the drive torque load instead of that plus the belt tension loading?
Sticker kit for the RC Carbon Cub to match Cleetus's Cub? I have that plane too. I know many people have asked for one.
Call up project prime, they made it so I really doubt they deleted the print files
Let the baby touch the Ford George 😂

Think it will take 16 years? Kids going to be in a mini dragster in like 3 years
@@jaydunbar7538 hey that’s true! I was thinking more along the lines of a licensed driver but it could be very well single digit age and wanting to wrench.
We need a series of Ty and Zach building a car together with total creative freedom.
It's amazing how much stress a blower puts on the nose of the crank. This truck making 900-1000 broke the nose but the shot rocket making 3,000 on a stock crank doesn't break it
SR has a billet crank. Stock block with sleeves.
Snot Rocket has a billet crank, but yes stock coyote crank does hold big power
