Hey brother, you do you. Family is always first. I'm glad to hear that your daughter is doing well, prayers for you and your family as y'all go through this trouble time. Take care and stay safe. See you on the next video
You put out the best video ever ill pray for your daughter keep up the great work your friend Shawn dragon from Staley nc
@@shawndragon4543 Thanks brother
Never let someone use your equipment unsupervised. There be real world class morons out there.
Man, you got your work cut out for you! Awesome video my friend, all the best.
Bro i love your channel and you’re moving scrap on a much bigger scale than i am, BUT how tf could you just scrap barbells and plate weights for scrap!? All due respect sir, ebay/marketplace listings might not be your gig but that shit is well over $2-$5 lb depending on the item. Just plate weights are a guaranteed $1/lb. Just my two pennies worth of info. God bless your family and praying for your daughter! You’re a real man
@LogosBKC i have my Reasons why I didn't sell them..
@@Adventureswithmike1 lol that’s interesting but hey it’s fair. Cheers 🍻
You should buy a 12 volt to 120 ac inverter and use that for your electric saws et al.. Get the 12v from your truck and let it idle as you work.
PRAYING FOR YOUR DAUGHTER 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Prayers for your family and you Mike. Life is definitely uncertain at times. Hoping things get better for you. I cut up quite a few mobile home frames yearly and always use a Sawzall. Bent frames do suck because you will pinch blades. I use the Milwaukee Torch 14 TPI blades with great success. I also keep my cuts away from stressed areas to keep from getting pinched. If I do get a blade caught I just hit the release, throw in another blade and cut from the other direction towards the 1st blade. I also keep a 20lb sledge to knock frame pieces apart if you get a cut that can't be completed. Just some tips maybe you could use if needed..
Prayers for you and your family and a speedy recovery for your daughter
Also, Mike, you ought to keep very hydrated
@user-eg8rv9fh3b Yeah it's been being very hot lately.. I was sweating like a pig today.
Sorry to hear all of the bad news and yes you need to keep scraping on.good wishes to the family
Best wishes to you and your family
Turn and burn Mike. Best of luck to you.
@@2sheds315 I've never known anything other than hard work.. But i've been dealing with some heavy shit lately.. But I wanted to put this video out.Because I kinda need to talk to somebody
Great video 😀have a great weekend sending prayers for your family. Stay 😅 mom
BRO hey hey
When your family is going through a lot you have to stay strong and positive for them. Smiles are better than crying.
You need to be with your family they have to come first keep the faith 😎👍🙏🇺🇸
Get a inverter and small solar panel so that way u can keep going while other one charging up in your truck. It been low productive week due texas humid heat I battling with A/c units 😊too.
@@Funkybulb Problem is my batteries take a long time to charge.. And I seem to be missing a bunch of batteries, so I did what I could with the three batteries I had
scrap on .clean on .be safe
You and yours still need some private time.
🥺
What a struggle
@@jodyprice420 The truck had plenty of power, just not enough traction c***** highway tires for its downfall..
It's hilarious that you think that rams are bad when they win awards from jd power for build quality every year. We're talking every company, not just trucks. Ram has won 2 of the last 3yrs followed by lexis. Just so you know, ford trucks are always in the teens and gm trucks are always 29th to 32nd. And gm is owned by china. Obama administration sold them in 2009. Most of your gm truck is made in china and shipped north America to be assembled. Almost every vehicle they produce has a factory in china. Fords 7.3l is garbage. It's okay of you're going to pull your little camper or boat on the weekends. But when they put them in commercial vehicles, they're done around 60k miles. These 6.4l had their last update in 19. They're fully forged. I know a guy who has a fleet of 5 3500 6.4l hotshots. They pull 16-18k lbs every mile and he's getting 350-450k miles before they nees work. He's getting the same life as the diesel without the bother of emissions systems. If you go to pro rodeo circuits, there are more rams than all other trucks combined. Ford is cheap and doesnt hold up and gm has electric failers all the time. You can't be pulling animals from olace to place with breakdowns. Then you miss a pay check by missing a ride.
@sonsofliberty3081 First of all, the only reason why Dodge is winning those awards. It's because they pay for them. Jd power is the biggest joke. They'll give anybody who pays them.Their award.. An old truck manufacturers have all their own problems, but dodges are at the bottom of the barrel.. And I agree?I don't like that new 7.3 gas Only a few years in production, and they're already starting to have problem..
MIKE BROTHER .....I HOPE ALL IS WELL ....LIFE GETS CRAZY SOMETIMES A HIATIS IS GOOD ....
Prayers for your daughter
How far? What class?
I don't remember how far it was, but I remember. He placed third in the stock class.. Second was a brand new 2021 chevy, with a 6.6 gas. And first place was an F350 tremor. With a 7.3 That guy won the last four years in a row
Junk
Literally the worst engine for this 😂
Not really the 5.0 is a powerful engine that is reliable.. yes a big v8 would be better. But this is by far the best motor in a half ton truck
@@Adventureswithmike1 I love the coyote badass engine 4sur, it’s where it makes its power up top vs a low revving torque monster engine that’s all I’m saying, having said that I was surprised.
@michealjackson2923 Yeah, it makes its power high in the rpm. Range once it's there, it screams and it pulls really good.. This truck also had really shitty tires on it You can see. The tires are spinning and fighting for traction.
Prayers and positive thoughts for your daughter and family. Awesome video my friend!!
Oooo baby
🤣
I cut off the guard then hit the valve with a hammer to unscrew it. One scrap yard where I live pays #1 for tanks. I also use propane instead of accetylne for my cutting torches. It's more effient and free. I get enough propne tanks from scrapping that I haven't bought propane in almost twenty years.
😮 That sounds so cool and oh my gosh that truck!
I’m pretty sure the window issue is a bad switch, not a design flaw. Or, they listened to your complaints and fixed it. My 2016 windows auto up on both sides. Mine has overloads on it and it still rides better than the ‘06 diesel I had. What I am glad to hear is that you are getting 11.6 mpg loaded heavy. I just bought my ‘16 not long ago and was hoping it would do well. I will be using mine to haul heavy loads too. Is that an engine tuner on your dash, or like XM radio? I was just wondering if you did anything to make it get the 11.6. Lol. I’ve heard stories that the mpg is gonna suck. But I was only getting 8.6mpg in my ‘06 6.0 diesel.
Yeah, that's an x m radio on my dash.. And the window issue, I changed the switch to a new one. And it still doesn't work.. So it's still a mystery to me why it is broke.. And this truck now has 226,000 Miles on it and I just had to replace the front wheel bearing for the first time.. Since I put this video out, that's the only thing I've had to replace other than the rear leaf Springs. They were worn out, So I put in heavier springs

HI Mike. You are a world class scrapper. When you guys in America say Tin what is that? Is it household appliances etc. Here in the UK we call that Light Iron. Keep up the class work Mike. Your the man. Also do you have merchandise
Yeah, things such as appliances and anything that is light metal.. We call tin /light lron/ Shred.. That's basically anything that is not a heavy steel or cast iron..
@@Adventureswithmike1 Brilliant thanks alot for your great advice. Over here in the UK we don't have the size of pickup trucks you do in PA we mainly use box vans with a payload of roughly a toone. What was the first vehicle you had when you started recycling metal. Also what app do you use please to check the the current metal market price World wide. Thanks alot legend
@JackHuggonson My first truck was a 1986 Ford. F250. Which was a full size truck
@@Adventureswithmike1 Hi Mike. What app would you recommend to keep upto on the scrap metal market for price etc?
@@JackHuggonson Actually I don't use one
That chain link is easy lol. How about dealing with livestock wire and trying to roll/fold/smash it enough to load. Nightmare, but someone gotta do it.
That's why I don't mess with the stuff
Great video I use apple phone. I like your videos I wish you had more videos during the week
In the last year and a half, i've put out over 600 videos .. It is really hard to put out multiple videos. A week
@@Adventureswithmike1 I understand I really like your channel I found it about 2 months ago.
That thing ain’t even sagging that much. It’s a true workhorse! I bet it can take 15000 pounds no problem
It's all about weight, distributing and loading the truck evenly..
@@Adventureswithmike1yea. I have a 2015 f250 6.2L regular cab long bed with 4x2 and 3.73 gears and factory stats says it can pull 13500 pounds but I bet it can tow no more than 15000 pounds but I am in the west coast we don’t get any snow and we have little to no hills.
OMG WHAT A SEXY BEAST.... WOW... WHO IS THAT GUY IN THE INTRO YOU DO? HE IS AN ABSOLUTE GORGEOUS MODEL OF A MAN
Yeah 218.09ft not bad at all for a stock truck on factory type highway tires
Praying for your daughter man 🙏🏿 keep your head up
Be very careful with those propane tanks. Exchange them for new full ones for like 25 bucks a piece. Scrap yards don't like them. Too dangerous!
Can you please explain ove heard of this
I will pray for your daughter and your family. Remember God is good! ❤ from California!
Hi
My friend haw are you doing
Brother you are in my thoughts and prayers
First.. prayers for your daughter and family sir. I hope everything comes out good in the situation. Second, you were mentioning the guys coming in the scrap yard with junky trucks and trailers. We have them here too. One in particular that was way beyond bad all the time. Little S10 that shouldnt have been on the road itself, a trailer like your smaller one, no lights or nothing, not even a plug on the truck. Always coming in with tons of crap hanging off the sides, losing stuff going down the road. I always left him be until one day he got mouthy with me in the yard. I made a call to a couple personal friends who happen to be local cops...they met him on the scale and imponded his whole rig and arrested him. Had a warrant, no license, no insurance and they found a bag of pills in his truck. Havent seen him since....lol.
I can't tell you how many times I see. People that are just absolute tweakers. At the scrapyard, no inspection stickers on anything. And trucks that shouldn't even be on the road.. Every day I see sketchy shit..
Hey man my name is Shawn dragon I'm praying for your daughter I love your videos your friend Shawn dragon from Staley nc
Thank you my daughter is home now. She's just trying to heal. And I told her that everyone what's praying for her and it brought her to 😢 .. We've been through a lot this past couple months as a family, but I told them in the end it will only make us stronger
Great video
My thoughts and prayers for you and your whole family. May God lay his healing hand on your daughters head and help her heal quickly.
