Justine, welcome to parenthood. Now you are towing and babysitting professional. Glad you were more worried and aware of the kids vs Dad.
Tough job with the little kids around so dangerous would of thought he'd get them out of the way for you some people don't think
This video was a great birth control ad
I sure see a lot of GM vehicles being towed lately!
Man, the way dad threw up, "wait a min" finger as his son was walking around behind the vehicle, made me about blow a gasket.
YT videos are not good for you.
You have issues my friend.
Morning Dustin! For a sec I thought this was deja vu but, nope, another dead Hummer EV. Bet it's not the last. Have a great & safe weekend!
Youwould think these engineers would have designed these EVs to be towed a little more easier
the 'A I" that wrote the procedure don't do towing.
That's a dumb idea to have the release cable or what ever so burried, but that's car designers now days.
Imagine paying over $100k for a vehicle that you can’t use, to this day there’s still 100+ year old Model Ts driving like new
My coworker has one of these steaming piles of dog squeeze. He calls it the vault fire cause he feels like he just set 100k on fire.
Sucks to buy a GM EV, but Tesla is the best car I've owned.
I’m surprised those stupid things don’t have a Tow mode like Tesla, that you can access from the screen. Good job getting it done. He should’ve just given you the keys and let you do what you have to do and keep an eye on his kids. My anxiety went through the roof when his kid went around the back of the car.
The “tow mode” on these is called transport mode, which drops the suspension level to the lowest setting, and then you put it into neutral.
Assuming it had power.
For the most part he left me alone, although that kid going back was the last thing I wanted.
Great video! I'm glad to hear that you were able to achieve hummer neutrality.
Great recovery in a very tight environment! You've got EV recovery down to a science! That Hummer still has temporary tags on it! Jeez; what a piece of junk from GM.
6:45 thank God it didn’t move. That dad was not aware or paying attention to the little boy walking behind the car. Next time he should keep his children inside if he cares about their safety.
WOW, still has the paper plates on it. Still haven't been out long enough to work out all the problems.
The only thing more aggravating then a client hanging around. Is a client allowing hos kids to be around stuff like this. Put your dang kids inside, and hand me your keys. Ill let you know when im done. Go away.
Dang still has temp tags and it’s already going back to get fixed. I won’t ever buy an EV until they figure out these flaws. GREAT JOB Dustin!
Thank You!
Yep! Back in the 30s we had about the same problems with the first Evs. Well ,really they weren’t this bad
You did an awesome job Dustin. Thousands and thousands of dollars of this new vehicle. And you can't not keep it driving. And I better keep my mouth shut on everything else🤬 I will stick to fossil fuel!!!!
There is something wrong with today's technology when you cannot put the car in neutral because of the battery issue.
You can't do this with many gas cars when the battery is dead either. A Smart driver keeps his 12v charged, EV or otherwise
Not another Hummer the manufacturer got to get the bugs out
If you own an EV you are forced to have normal car too to be covered with transport if the EV fails.
IF it fails OR when it fails?
Brother Most EvS won’t let u shift with a door open😂 Keep Hooking⛓️
What a piece of sh?& they couldn't give me one of them things lol
Close the driver door that might work
Oversized and overrated power wheels always having charge problems i definitely prefer my fossil fuel vehicles over electric, keep up the great job dustin!!!
Don't forget over priced
If GM would be smart they would send a Tech out and install a new 12 volt battery which would probably be cheaper then all this towing non sense.
Expensive Paper weight SMH
If I'd forked out that kind of money, I'd expect the vehicle to be darn near perfect. Guess I'm just unreasonable.
What a piece of junk
I would have bought a couple Toyotas instead
Just backup really fast and hit the breaks to unload it 😂
Never will I ever drive one of these POC’s
It's unbelievable that people will pay $100,000+ for a vehicle that's nothing but junk. 🤦♂️
I bet my 2007 Honda Pilot with 170,000 miles will outlast this thing, lol.
We know you’re just jealous
@@ericnewton5720 jealous of what? There's nothing to be jealous of.
@@ericnewton5720 you're autistic
Not even a month old. Geez
Interesting video. Can't wait for the 2nd part. Great job
You did an awesome job Justin! 👏👏👍
Why doesn't the owner lock those kids in the house.? Doesn't he realize the dangers of children that small around machinery? anything could happen. But I guess if you are dumb enough to buy a hummer EV, you probably are dumb enough to leave your kids out in the garage to get hurt too.
Seeing clips like this, makes me understand how children get injured in driveways.
The father was even going to back that thing out if the jump charge worked.
Awesome video Dustin. Those EV trucks are shit in my opinion. Sorry for bad language. Please stay safe. Thank you for all you do.
Got to give General Motors credit for making it effortless to deal with when the rare failure occurs.. :)
Made it just shy of 4 mins in and immediately noticed this thing still has paper tags on it. #Junk
Tow it to the dealer and trade it in.
and get .25 cents for every dollar it cost LOL
I will say that you have a lot of skills in the towing business, keep it up. NICE……Watching from Calgary, Canada
Great work on that ev, enjoyed w, thanks.
That thing is brand new still on temp plates and already having issues?
Excellent job getting that out!! 😮 Could it have been any smaller of a space? LOL…..I just don’t understand. SMH 🤦🏼♀️
The design of these things has to be the definition of irony.
The vehicles are design to be propelled by an electric motor powered by a huge bank of batteries. And yet the irony is that it appears that the 12 v battery for the vehicle ancillaries is inadequate to do the job.
Dam kids put them inside the house.
Wowsers how frustrating are the EV'S. So not looking forward to all cars becoming ev. It will get to the point where no towers will want to tow them. Or maybe some will incur a lot of damage bills. Great work Dustan, I could hear how frustrated you were getting. Can't wait to see the next video. Stay safe see you on the next one 😊
It would suck if GM made them, but not Tesla. You'd have to drain the Tesla HV battery to Zero and below, THEN let the 12v battery drain completely. Then, you could STILL jump it with the cables. You can easily put it in TOW mode.
Tow truck Dustin, you are awesome man ❤
What a pain
I honestly think I would have just found a decent 12 volt battery installed it drove it to the dealer and but the bad one back in and called it a day.
Hubby Ask Floor Jack . Low On Oil High On Air ??A Few Drops Of DOT-3 Seals Seal Better.
So, how much money do people waste on these sea anchors?
Bad day hummer no go and kids crying......
Put your winch into free spool, back up fast and slam on your brakes. IT WILL COME OFF. LOL
You are the MAN!!! I absolutely the EV….
What exactly is the upside of these things?
They make really interesting lawn ornaments 😁
To impress all of your lefty green neighbors.
What a big POC vehicle. I would sure not want one of those things.
When is part 2 coming out
Man that one was tight. He should never have bought it. Again I would have said you need access to pump jacks. BUT this one I don't think those jacks would clear the garage doors. Also they might have marked the floor. I've never used them before. But once you got it out you might have put the pump jacks on. You are towing more and more and the " factory " towing procedure can't be the best way for the driver to tow. Do you / the company have a in person meetings? Ask what the other drivers might do or think they might do.
People with money that don't know how to spend it
Dustin I think you should have use the wrecker truck instead so you would just have to use the dollies and off you go flatbed is for vehicles that rolling
Most wheel lift trucks don’t have the capacity to tow these, nor do Dollie’s. I used the appropriate and required equipment, as per the towing procedure.
HOW much do you charge for a tow like that? Very time consuming .
I think that 2 ton jack was at or exceeding its capacity on a nearly 10k pound vehicle! 😮
Well it's not lifting the whole weight of the vehicle
I don't understand. If you know the dealership was closed, why not leave it at his garage until the next morning, rather than having to load it onto the flat bed twice?
What model is your car bro ?
GM vehicles and car accidents keep you in business.
It's hilarious that an Environmentally friendly electric vehicle needs a gas or diesel engine to rescue them. 😂
Just don’t have enough electric tow trucks yet. This guy just needed a 12v jump and some common sense
@@BoondocTravels needs a 12v trickle charger. That battery shouldn't be going dead unless sitting for over a month. I'm willing to bet that they did like Tesla. The 12v system doesn't get a charge unless the drive battery needs a charge. Being that the 12v system is always active for door locks and such. It goes flat quicker then the big Lithium does.
the main reason to not to invest in electric vehicles.
Wrong! They are taking over, no stopping it: exponential curve of adoption
A car is not an investment, buying stock is! EV's are fantastic, just not GMs
Hey brotha how is your day? I hope it’s going good
Ola amigo guincheiro tambem sou base de sao paulo adoro seus videos queria saber nome desses plasticos que coloca nas rodas pra tentar compra
We call them “skates” I’m not sure how that translates to your language. I will add a link to purchase them.
dgracingtechnologies.com/products/iti-automotive-skate?_pos=7&_sid=5c47ec467&_ss=r
The EV zealots tell us that EV ownership is not a big problem. So why are these kinds of issues now common? It is crazy to pay a high price for crazy depreciation, charge problems, range curtailed by cold and load, and then having to waste so much journey time charging and finding working charge points. EV ownership is my idea of hell on Earth.
Buying an electric vehicle from GM would be sticking your hand in a beehive. Don't be surprised when a company that has decades of experience in causing electrical problems. Next time you see a vehicle going down the road with a headlight out, it's a 90% chance it's a GM.
Is it feasible to free spool then put a snatch block on the end of the bed and then wrap around and come back to the bridal and hook back up and pull it off the deck?
Not on this vehicle because you can’t hook anything under the vehicle, and running straps under and around the bumper is asking for a damage claim.
@@Towtruck_Dustin I hear ya. Spend all that money for a cream puff gives real four wheelers a bad name, new EV Hummer for the mall crawl only, I guess. Being sarcastic about the mall with speed bumps, I would have thought the belly would handle some pressure against it if any.😀
Doors have to be closed before it will shift outta park
Is thair part 2?
EV? No, thank you
Paper plates on the H and yet won't start image what would happen when the H is 10 years old
This vehicle will not last ten years. Will be mechanically totaled before then
Are all of these hummer EV'S like a white color like this? I hope you're doing okay. Much love and you're awesome!
I've seen an Orange one and a Black one before. But it seems most of them are White.
👏👏👏
Terrible father. Put your kids inside.
Right?? Good thing his POS vehicle wouldn't start otherwise he would've run over his kid. Dustin knocks on the window to tell him his kid is their and he really hit Dustin with the ☝🏼. 🤦🏼♂️
Maybe he can't because there's no else in there to keep an eye on them
Dustin. You need a pay rise!!!
That would be a perfect snach truck with dollies
nope, #1 clearly the single garage door BARELY squeezes just the truck thru with the mirrors folded... it's not wide enough to set up dollies... plus.. the EV hummer is over 9,000lbs.... even half of that is more than dollies are made for.. assuming you could even get them to rollover with that much weight. that's a Rollback job every time.
@@woody4u247 what about
Plus i'm talking about loading and unloading at the yard he could of pulled it out with the skates and winch line then loaded with the snatch truck
Wonder if GM pays for the tow bill
The warranty insurance company pays
They should
about as likely if you run out of gas expecting the OEM to pay for it.
Wont go into neutral with drivers door open
Yes it will.
😊👍
9:17 Hey . I’m sorry for my ignorance. Could you tell me pls . What’s that call ? I’m just started working in tow industry, and trying to make my job easier. My English not good . I hope you got me . Thanks a lot .
And thanks for your video . I take a lot from you.
Sorry for the late reply. I’m not sure I understand exactly what you’re asking however.
That’s fine . I found out . Thanks for reply. I was asking about endless round sling . I didn’t know what’s that thing called. English second language.
@@zicfisher7322endless choker, endless strap
tow it to the scrap yard maybe they will give him a 100 bucks
Scrap yards don't want them, full of hazardous waste IE batteries.
I'll ask the dumb question, why didn't you just leave it on the roll back until the morning??
Because I’m on call 24/7, and if I get a police call or something in the middle of the night, I need my truck. I don’t get to be off just because I have a tow in the morning. We don’t work shifts. I have to be ready at all times.
You do charge more for all the nonsense you have to go through to accomplish what the car company requires to not void the warranty. I’m not sure which is worse for the earth pollution from gasoline powered vehicles or mining for lithium.
Towing these are very lucrative. It’s worth the time and effort.
Tow companies love EV's because it means lots more work for their diesel and petrol powered tow trucks.
EV IS SCAM
It's the future, mark my words and see what you are driving in 20 years. Best cars I ever drove, and I have 2 Teslas!
what the 130k lummer
Long time before EV's become practical....even longer before they become life altering. Actually they are currently life altering, this video is an example.🙂
Guessing your so perfect you’ve never had your 12v battery go dead I suppose?
@@ericnewton5720 Just being realistic and have been in automotive manufacturing for a very long time. BTW...ridiculous reply on your part.
Hey man! I've been gone for a while. Heath problems. The EV vehicles are going to be a problem, going forward. The more these get pushed on people, more problems. Big money vehicles. Just make more problems. Stay safe my brother 🙏
99.9% are not PUSHED on people, they are 100% because people want them. If you drove one, you'd see maintenance, performance, everything far better in a Tesla...but not a Ford or GM. Brand matters.
Question, once you had it on skids, why not leave it there until morning rather than loading and unloading the truck twice?
Because I’m on call 24/7. If I get a call in the middle of the night, I have to be available to go. Can’t leave the truck down that long.
@@Towtruck_Dustin I have a question is it possible if you can fix a check engine light on a 2011 for expulsion?
I meant to say in a 2011 ford expedition
But how can a hammer EL fail?
I mean EV😂
It might shift in neautral if the doors were closed😂. But then again. GM junk 😭🤣😂😂😂
Lets everyone buy an EV. NOT!!!
only fools with alot of money and not a lick of common sense
@@bobeverhart8217 You obviously never drove a Tesla. They are about 35 k, so not a lot of money, and best car ever is the Model 3
You ALL will be before too long, just get used to it
Remind me to never buy an EV.
You can't afford one anyway.
@@YouSoundButtHurtjust cuz you got financing, don't make you smart
Imagine saying that about an ICE because a guy was dumb enough to drain his 12v battery and run out of gas at the same time!
Hummers have always been piles of crap. Why would anyone think an EV one would be any different?
Right, GM does not know what they are doing!
👍 A good video. Stuff we would never see nor experience.
