Cody should let his wife know that if he buys the truck in Utah, the time required to fix up the current truck can be better spent with her. It's a win-win! 😊
I can’t work out how to comment elsewhere. Rookie question, but I noticed you didn’t need to supply air to the tip truck, do they not have air brakes? If not, how do they go about towing a trailer?
I'm amazed at all the little things ZachLift has thought of to make the operators life easier. Like the straps on the tire lift that when you're done using them the ends have a spot to go into so that they are just not floping around. 😮
One thing that i like about Zachlift is that it's a company of operators instead of just engineers trying to create something that they don't have first-hand experience in. I hated architects telling me that the plans work on paper and to just build it that way, but in practical application, it doesn't work.
I love to see it and I do everything I can to send feedback to encourage active company leadership. Unfortunately, leadership gets lazy and need to be fired before they tank the business. Gotta keep the leadership pro-active. Managers that just react are what to watch for. ZackLift shows no sign of slowing down.
I love to hear a truck blowing excess air. It reminds me of when I called at my mothers in a heavy unit, when it blew air she said "bless you" to the truck. Then told me to keep an eye on it as it was sneezing!!!! I told her it was because we had just been on a farm and it was because of the dust. Doesn't matter what anything was, she always humanised it. Hope you feel better soon, its difficult to feel enthusiastic when you're not 100%
Casey, I got a set of those self retracting ratchet straps on your recommendation. Absolute game changer, never buying the normal ones again. Anyone else on the fence, get them, you'll be glad you did.
Your idea of swapping ECMs is a good idea. I worked on Macks for 40 years. We would keep ECMs from wrecks or with minor problems and mark on them what code they had. We had ECMs for every year... It saves a lot of guessing...
just thought of something to skip a few steps using the wheel grids: put the scoops on the backside when not using them, so you can back to the thing to tow, then put the scoops straight from stored to using position. Instead of taking them off, putting them down, backing to the thing, picking them up and putting them on again.
Using that new step you welded on by the fuel tank👍😎 Those new wheel grids are awesome, especially when you don’t feel 100%. Always hustling, no matter what😊 Take care and thanks for another great video!😊🎉🎉🎉
Your right about driving this land,, my wife and I travel the country in our motor home and we find lots to see all over, we go to a area and spend 4 or 5 days exploring, it's unbelievable what can be found in small towns and communities all over the US.
I was sick for five days last week. There is a strain of COVID or flu going around. The local university had an outbreak. Some elementary schools too. I'm in new england. Hope you feel better soon
Long time ago, I heard and suspect you have heard they saying too, 'to er is human, but to really screw up, yon need a computer'. Referring to your clients truck.
Casey you are correct about the ecm being bad on the truck!!! I just had the same problem on a 2004 dodge 2500. After my truck got to operating temperature it would only run on 3 cylinders. Then run fine after it cooled off. It took sending the ecm 2 times to get it fixed. I have a a lot less hair and money now.
Love watching your videos. I was raised in Redmond roamed that area back in the 6o's . Bend had a population of4000 people. Good friend of mine had a wrecker service at santiam junction. Long gone now. Keep up the good work.
People spend their time commenting about dirty windshields? Really?!! Can you not find something better to do with your time? (Asks the guy wasting his time commenting about windshield commenters.) Anyway, keep up the good work, Casey! Even a simple tow like this I find extremely entertaining. Why do I find that watching other people work so relaxing?
I just watched the video of their first 2 official logging loads. This video was recommended at the end, kind of fitting, I don't know why. Almost Spoiler Alert! Their truck can Obviously haul a load of logs (and more) but definitely still worth the watch!
The people that complain about your dirty windshield obviously were never truck drivers LOL and 40 Years of driving a tractor-trailer it's almost impossible to keep your windshield clean you clean it 5 Mi down the road guess what you got bugs and dirt on it that's what happens when you use a vehicle😂😂😂 always love your videos keep up the good work
Should you get in the habit of putting the light bar on first and taking it off last? That way, when you are on the highway/shoulder, it is there asap and protecting you as long as possible!
We are Sorry to hear you are u still unwell you must look after yourself I know being self employed has its drawbacks about working when your not feeling crash hot , but please be careful and take care and listen to your body best regards from Down under 💕
Yes I know right something has been affected his attitude lately I hope he's not suffering from depression because he's acting allot like I do when I'm severely depressed
My favorite way to still find leaks in air, NG, or propane lines, is soapy water in a spray bottle. Grandpa taught me that as an old furnace repair technician.
Any one who worked on light cars and trucks in the late 70s and 80s remembers all the stupidity of trying to meet government pollution standards, performance and reliability suffered. Trucks today are experiencing those very same inane policies,its really is pretty dumb.
Regarding the Western Star air leak, besides the old "engineers hate mechanics" trope, is there a good reason why they don't run lines from difficult to reach spots to an easier to reach spot and just build a central manifold or at least a board of some kind where all the connections are centralized so you can swap out parts when they break (not if).
Fixing air leaks..... Should've looked into where it's leaking so much from the Right rear control box? could hear it leaking in videos almost a year ago. Seems loud to be normal? That genesis is a pretty badass unit though... very versatile. night n day different from the old ZL DTU's . feel better.
As a old timer I remember when the silly move was made to those fast to fail push lock fittings were supposed to be so great. Really the old AeroQuip lines were the greatest! not so easy to fabricate but truck tough
Interesting , Thank You I do hope pray that you you feel better soon . Thank You For the example that some times we must work sick and or hurt . We MUST also know when to STOP and heal or see Doctor . I hate to think what will happen wen all the sensors and ecms and other electronic parts are used up .
. Good Grief , ikr ??! What IS it about west of the MISSISSIPPI ? Ok: Casey , you get a PASS driving on all those dirt & gravel roads for hours-on-end. But a half-dozen+ other YT'ers i follow , even up in Kanadastan , barely go a few months with their new windshields ! The only crack i ever got was on a ~03°F day when i stupidly got impatient & instead of warming the truck with the dash vents 1st for 5 min. , i set it to Defroster to deice the windshield & C-c-c-RACK'K'k' 🤬 🙈 across the bottom 2-3" ( i wonder if i already had a weak spot / chip ? ) Have I just been LUCKY all these years ?
Not to mention.... the real reason for using wheel grids is because they were already on the cross bar. Too much work to take them off unless you need to. When I put wheel grids on, they stay on. Everything from that point forward gets towed with wheel grids until I NEED to take them back off.
I have a freightliner m11 select plus but I'm too far away. Just had my overhead done and an injector. Intake exhaust and turbo gaskets replace rocker gasket for oil leak which is common.

I’m pinning this comment to highlight an excellent point that can’t be refuted.
I can’t work out how to comment elsewhere. Rookie question, but I noticed you didn’t need to supply air to the tip truck, do they not have air brakes? If not, how do they go about towing a trailer?
@@glenduthie6081 Only brake at the back locks in when there is no air, front wheels are free spin.
Depends on how big of honey do list. She may not want we time
@@glenduthie6081 not front brakes
I'm amazed at all the little things ZachLift has thought of to make the operators life easier. Like the straps on the tire lift that when you're done using them the ends have a spot to go into so that they are just not floping around. 😮
They tend to listen to customers and figure out ways to make it happen. Good customer service 😊😊😊😊

Cody is good people. He also has a guy who knows Western Stars way better than the pinhead that serviced it last.
Can we even call that a service??
Service takes on a different meaning when one considers a rancher hiring a bull to service his cows.
@@waynegibbons352 the dad of one of my school buddies drove the bull service truck. Endless jokes for our adolescent selves
I don’t truck and I don’t tow but those wheel grids look so much easier to use then the ones on your rollback
Far easier
@@CaseyLaDelle I'll bet that lazy ass for canada could manage them!!!
Get well soon Casey, even at less than 100% you're still like a well oiled machine.
Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Casey, I got a set of those self retracting ratchet straps on your recommendation. Absolute game changer, never buying the normal ones again. Anyone else on the fence, get them, you'll be glad you did.
Absolutely agree - available in the UK too!
@om617yota7, they do work great but they have some pinch points that will definitely give you some blood blisters if you are not careful .

Best thing about Fort Rock is just down the road is Cowboy Dinner Tree really cool Steakhouse
LOVE the Edison Motors Sticker !!!
"Hey, hey, hey in", Casey reprimands his recalcitrant toolbox drawer. I am glad I am not the only only who talks to metalwork!
Casey, it's your truck. If you want to scratch it, have at it. Hope the sickness goes away quick
My late father was on the board of directors of Cummins Inc. Engine Company.
Best wishes for your recovery............
Get well brother, love your work ethic!
Your right about driving this land,, my wife and I travel the country in our motor home and we find lots to see all over, we go to a area and spend 4 or 5 days exploring, it's unbelievable what can be found in small towns and communities all over the US.
No complaints at all. I appreciate that you explain everything.
Oh look, it started to rain, Now your wind shield is clean! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Keep it up Casey, I hope that you are feeling better man.
I see you're a man of good taste I saw that Edison Motors sticker
Feel better soon. Live your videos and shorts.
I think undressing the truck from the front first is a good way to not leave anything behind, another great job done Casey
Thank you 😊 for your content. 0:41 get better soon. I try to watch every day, but when I can't, I still watch later on.
I was sick for five days last week. There is a strain of COVID or flu going around. The local university had an outbreak. Some elementary schools too. I'm in new england. Hope you feel better soon
Long time ago, I heard and suspect you have heard they saying too, 'to er is human, but to really screw up, yon need a computer'. Referring to your clients truck.
I love the fact you can have the time to get into some shenanigans with the repair people. Get well soon and Thanks for the videos and the shorts.

I find amazing how strong the Zak lift and it's attachments are. Hope you get over the bug soon Casey.
Casey, you and the Zaclift work so efficiently... and your your camera work is spot on brother, thank you...

Anyway, keep up the good work, Casey! Even a simple tow like this I find extremely entertaining. Why do I find that watching other people work so relaxing?
I really enjoy your feeds. I love your professionalism . You’re consistently methodical to ensure you don’t forget anything. Good job!
Very interesting video, the operator is highly skilled. Peter Lindop UK.🇬🇧
Thanks man .Praying for you.I sure learn a lot watching your videos.😊
Great job. Thank you 😊
Scratching your lift.. oh the horror! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the video - hope you feel better
That Edison sticker at 4:30 to 4:50 gives me hope for the future... A Twin steer tri axle boomtruck type of future

Outstanding Content and Thanx for Sharing your Great work 💪
Have a Great Day 👍
Casey the windshield looks great to me. If you can see then not a problem.
Should you get in the habit of putting the light bar on first and taking it off last? That way, when you are on the highway/shoulder, it is there asap and protecting you as long as possible!
Great video Casey. Thanks for taking us along here in 🇬🇧👍😎 Amazed that the wheel grids can carry such loads.
Great delivery and video. Hope you are getting better. Thanks for sharing 👏 😊

Same promblem you had and got fixed. Hope you get feeling better before it gets really cold!
Thanks for the video, and I hope you feel better soon
Boys of all ages love to watch the Zacklift❤❤❤.
Ol' Grammas too!!!
Casey, PLEASE take care of yourself as You and your family rely on you.
Yes I know right something has been affected his attitude lately I hope he's not suffering from depression because he's acting allot like I do when I'm severely depressed
@@biggdaddy2001 I am depressed most all the time now as I have hips seizing up due to severe osteoarthritis
You should pour a concrete pad on which you can park the truck whenever you have to go underneath
I was thinking of building a concrete pit with a open side so you could back over it and then work on the bottom standing up.
@@uta667563 that’s how they serviced cars before the car-lifts, we used to call them oil pits (to change the oil) in Holland
I hope you feel better soon.
Nice recovery there Casey...Get well soon....Stay safe and see you soon
hope you get back to 100% soon, sucks to be sick
Now we know that part of the CDL test involving the windshield. Make sure the windshield is not cracked, broken, or dirty ;)
Hey,….take care of your health….seriously……the world is a better place with you and people like you in it.🤔😃
Smooth one 👍 get feeling better Casey 👍😊
My favorite way to still find leaks in air, NG, or propane lines, is soapy water in a spray bottle. Grandpa taught me that as an old furnace repair technician.
Casey LaDelle Rocks ✝️🇺🇸🙏💪💯
Salut Casey!!
The four silver T-bolts should be attached to the yellow parts of the tire lift with little cables so that they cannot get lost.
Anyone notice the hungry man dinner box on the frame rail of the western star? Shows how smooth the truck rides. Great work, Sir Casey.
Good job!
I hope you didn't get crap in your lungs from all of that fire smoke. Thank you for the video!
That Zacklift is just stellar! Must be a joy to operate! Thanks Casey!
Good Work!
Feel better soon
Greetings from central Montana, hope you are feeling better.
Wishing for you a speedier recovery!
Love the choreography of movement in the hookup process, no wasted motion! Got it down to a science.
No unsolicited advice. Just hope you can get to feeling better soon
I went from wrench turning to management in 1992. Retired well before DEF became a thing. Missed out on all that crap, lol! 🤣

New Casey video makes my lunch break 10 times better!
Thank God for wheel grids!
DAMN! That sleeper is bigger than my first apartment was!!
I still think with the wheel grids on it, it looks like a giant red and white scorpion with a yellow tail.
Feeling better Best wishes I hope
I had that plague for 2 weeks and it was miserable sigh glad to see you’re feeling somewhat better.

Think about what you just said for a second. You’re hearing a hissing sound coming from the area where two hydraulics valve bodies are…
Love all the vids and trips but part of me is itching for the snow recoveries. Keep it up.

I hate press lock fittings since they all eventually leak. I prefer nut and farrel fittings.
Casey I always look forward to seeing your videos. I may not agree with you on everything. I hope you feel better my friend
