I Almost Got Shot

What was supposed to be a simple day of maintenance and diagnostics on Lady Hawk’s 1962 Grenaa semi-diesel quickly turned into something else entirely. While working through lubrication, cooling, and a handful of issues raised by viewers in the last episode, we uncovered a problem in the high-pressure air start system that was a lot more serious than it first appeared. Just a few damaged threads were standing between normal operation and a potentially dangerous failure. Along the way we dive deeper into one of the last hot-bulb semi-diesels ever built, explore how this strange engine actually works, and continue preparing Lady Hawk for her upcoming voyage south. Sometimes progress looks like moving forward. Sometimes progress looks like finding the thing that could have hurt you before it gets the chance.
