Thanks for watching, from all of us at Matt's off-road recovery!
This video contains a paid advertisement
Every one of us who's been in the military, tried to telepathically tell ya how to unlock the lights... :) You guys just weren't listening! Such a beautiful area. Glad to see Mr Ed out and about with ya
63 Bravo here. Failed miserably at telepathy!
It's kinda like a fuel Guage.
This is one of the only times I knew something that Matt did not!
yep
I was screaming at the video
The light panel is set up that way so you don't absent-mindedly turn on the lights and give away your position. You actually have to put effort into it.
Makes sense! I was wondering what demented idiot designed that way!
Good to know there was a reason!
Nice to see Ed out with ya Matt.
More Ed, please. 😊
Good ol' Peanut. Under the truck helping, tail wagging like mad. What a great dog!
Having just lost my dog, I really, really appreciate every second that Peanut is in your videos. She makes me smile. Thanks.
My deepest condolences, brother.
Sorry to hear that man. I wish these pups had more time on this earth to spend with us. They're wonderful companions and absolutely a part of my family.
@@simpledj509chromo7 Thanks for understanding and commenting. Yeah, it's a tough loss for many of us.
Sorry to hear that man you dog is ok
Really sorry for your loss, I know how tough that is and how terrible it feels. They're with us for way too short a time, but in other ways theyre always with us.
One of the coolest thing about rescue dogs is that they never stop thanking you for your kindness. Full respect for what you do for your dogs.
The beauty of dogs in general is their unconditional love.
Absolutely! Part of the reason I'm here too 🐾 Watching the recoveries is awesome and all, especially as a former HEMTT operator, but seeing the dogs and Ed and everyone in the crew live their best life out there in the beautiful Utah wilderness is everything now. The recoveries were just "clickbait" all along🤠
I was a HEMTT M984A2 wrecker operator in Mosul Iraq 🇮🇶 2006-2007
@Group_Anonymous Right there with ya brother!👍 Doing convoys & recoveries during the week, then pulling Detroit 92 Powers out of the HET's and HEMTT's at the FOB until next mission. I left around the same time. Thank you for your service!
I’ve got two rescue dogs
The most selfish dogs I’ve ever been around
Nothing like the boxers I’ve had.
Any video with Ed in it is an INSTANT classic! Good stuff!
Ed himself such a classic, how can they not be‽
I loved the Morvair transition and the drive line pictures. Great editing!
You know, for a stray dog you guys found in the road, Peanut has become such a great dog for you guys. ❤
Peanuts tail under the Humvee made me smile! Thanks for this video!
😂 captain's face clean I mean Matt
Hey Matt, the reason those joints on the driveshaft are that small is becasue the portal axles have roughly a 2:1 gear ratio. Therefore the torque on the drifeshaft is only half as much as in a conventional driveline, anyways they still broke.
yes it broke, but the Humvee and all its parts are also likely pushing 40 years old. It doesn't look like they were doing anything that would have been particularly hard on the drivetrain when it broke. Point being just because the part failed doesn't automatically mean it isn't strong enough to do the job, sometimes things just wear out.
What has the portal axles got to do with how much torque the engine puts into the prop-shaft (driveshaft)?
@@andrewr2650 Or got a good hit a decade ago then the miles eat away at it.
If you check over your vehicle and get to know it 'breakdowns' get less and things go on the service list
@@auldmanBecause the engine isn’t directly connected to the driveshafts. There’s a transmission and transfer case in there. Adding a gear reduction at the wheels means you need less input torque before the wheels.
It’s like how planetary axles on heavy equipment lets them run smaller axles and driveshafts because there is a gear reduction at the wheels.
@auldman its a 6.5 detroit and probably a NA one at that the thing makes 150hp
Peanut, Peanut, Peanut,...she is an adorable and good dog...I'm glad she is a loving part of your family and crew...
Ed is looking good. Great to see him. Really enjoy your vids Matt. Keep em coming.
Started watching this channel s week ago and can’t stop watching. I really enjoy the recoveries and the beauty of Utah!
The videos from a year or two ago have the best production value, and you get to see the beauty of creation even better.
That happen to me too.
it's the truly honest hardworking good people of this channel that I love, which is how I was raised but seems to be so incredibly rare in this world.
Jeg har abonnert på denne kanalen i et par-tre år nå. Den er veldig bra. Hvor er du fra?
You have a lot of catching up to do, but it's all time well spent.
I'm sure there will be a million of these but hopefully one of them helps in the future. Below the start/stop switch is a series of 3 switches in a sorta triangular formation. With your left index finger, lift the bottom right switch as if you were going to rotate it counter clockwise. At the same time use your thumb to push the top switch all the way to the right, your headlights are now on. On the floor, left of your left foot is a button. That turns your brights on.
Now that I think of it, in the future, if you need it, on your turn signal arm is a switch that allows the lever to go up past what would be signaling for a right turn, this is your hazard signal. All signals only work if the lights are on.
it's awesome to see Ed there with you how is he doing hope all is well with him and God bless miss seeing him glad that you are close and you help each other
Matt, I'm with you on the drive line terminology. I'm from the Midwest and spent 38 years in the automotive industry.
I was just missing Ed. So glad to see him. Thanks. And nice save on getting them out.
*ED!*. So good to see you on a call again! The weather report and the encouraging “We’ll get ‘em out!” We’re familiar and comforting.
Don't you just love it when the dog wants to help?
Great to see Ed back out on the occasional recovery.
I was driving that Humvee when it broke. I had no warning to the boom but thankfully I was only moving about 10mph and stopped in about 10ft. I rolled it back to move it out of the way. Glad it was an easy out!
I think an interview with Ed about his life, his history, etc, would be maybe the best MORR video of all time. How 'bout it? Do it while he is still here!
Clean your hands with dirt and water, What ever it takes. When camping I used to get on the edge of the creek and use sand and water on hands and dishes, pretty much the same thing. As always thanks for sharing the video with us.
The man the myth the legend..ED. always great to see him..
Hi, Ed, it's always a pleasure to see you glad to see you doing good.
It was very good to see Ed. It has been quite awhile since he has been in a recovery.
Great to see Ed. You really should bring him along regularly. A call to Casey Ladelle about driveshafts might have helped or a call to Rory for guidance.
Great to see Ed out and about.
Good to see Ed out and about again, being an old guy myself I kinda relate to him. Nice job on the Merc, Hummers can be "fun".
Great seeing Ed out on a recovery with you again.
It's great to see Ed!!
Good to see Ed and he is looking better than the last few times I've seen him.
Fun fact... The mechanical master light switch is one of the oldest interchangeable parts in the military. It has been in service since WW2!... and it still works better than the new push pad led one. 😂 TM 9-2320-280-10 is all you need out there Matt! Great job on a the recovery! US Army Ret. CW3 Maintenance Chief 👍🏼😎
Your light switch problem brought flash back to Vietnam. Since military vehicles didn't have a key ignition our unit wired the ignition into the light switch to make it harder for someone to midnight requisition our vehicles. It did make it interesting when you had to turn the headlights off to enter a guarded gate. Y'all did great!
Our BC had all our vehicles wired with a hidin switch under the dash, mainly for OpFor, sure puzzled those that didn’t know
Love to see Peanut living her best life jumping in every body of water she can find. My dog is the same way. Keep on swimming Peanut
We need a peanut cam
We need a peanut cam
You couldn't watch it for more than 30 seconds or you would get sea-sick
That is the coolest station wagon.I have ever seen in my life.... And i've seen some pretty cool ones i've seen Station wagons with blowers sticking out of the hood all kinds of crazy stuff. This one is the best looking and the best as far as craftsmanship. The build looks very very professional.
Matt recovered to vehicles one was a van and the other a Hummer. So nice to see Ed in the video! Kaulin and Matt had to call to figure out how to turn on the lights on the Hummer. It was more complicated than it should be! Good video!
You don't want to accidently flip on the lights at the wrong time in a military vehicle. They designed it to be simple but intentional.
You are so good. I would have to restrain myself from sarcastic comments about the city folk trying to off-road their poser-mobile.
Dang it... sorry, I did it there...
lol tactical vehicles lights are a pain until you get to know them. Bottom right is a lock. Then you switch it to running lights, white light. Or black out.
Ed !!! Cool to see Ed out calling the weather ✓
4:05 Ed is a legend in the weather conditions….No one does it like Ed👍
The boys to the rescue once again...and Ed out for a ride..I don't know how much family Ed has but he sure found a family with yours
That was good all round work there Matt...Great to see Ed with you...Stay safe you all and see you on next one
I know it's hard for Ed to go on recoveries but it's nice to see him on the channel again.
Great video, but hate to say it if not already said for the HMMWV, there is a big RED sticker that tells you what to do as far as starting it. Drove many versions of the HMMWV in peace-time and in Iraq. The panel below with the three panel switches below the the starter switch is labeled to tell you how to engage the blackout drive, service drive lights, panel lights, parking lights, etc. Totally understand that you all are not used to military vehicles. Watching the video I was saying, "look at the red sticker". Regardless, great video, and great work you all are doing helping people out. Seems a lot of these HMMWV's show up on your videos. I can assume the owners are not doing the PMCS (Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services) to keep them from having problems, but it get's you all good business and great videos! Great job!
@6:08... Matt has a hole in the left leg of his jeans, near the knee. I love that Peanut got under there to help!
He gets a pass from it being at the end of a long day and it was dark out, but I do have to give Colin a bit of crap about the super big red placard [that dads flashlight was shining right on] on the dash of the Hummer that said "Warning - Prior to starting, engage parking brake and shift transmission to neutral" Awe, the joys of having all your mistakes being broadcast on UA-cam. I'm just glad it's you and not me, cause it'd be worse, lol
Was just thinking that it was a long time since I saw Ed on a recovery, and there he is 👍🏻
So good to see Ed up and around again. Really enjoy his company!
The hmmwv is a fun truck to mess with the new privates as it is very not obvious how to operate any of the basic controls.
What a fun bit of nostalgia watching newbies ignore the wait to start light and trying to figure out how to turn the lights on.
Or telling them to use the locking cable to try and pull start it.
My old Motor pool sergeant was an ex drill sergeant and we loved sending the new privates to him with a list of stuff to bring back.
1 box of grid squares
1 bottle of A.I.R.
1 miniature ground guide
Spark plugs and wires for a deuce and a half.
And other crap I can't remember.
We'd stand outside of 3rd shop and wait.
Then we would hear a booming voice.... , "half right, face. Front leaning rest position, move! Down! Up!
Lol. Good times.
@jelly7310 my favorite was "go to the commo sergeant and find me a PRC E-7".
@@jacobcrown7707 I think the 910s reset the wait light every time the switch was set to off, so you’d have them yank on that then then try to turn it over, send them back to yanking on it as you flip the switch back to off.
@@jelly7310 got to be careful who you send them to. A private ended up being sent to a CSM with a sense of humor. He told the private to come back in 1 hour and he would have it. When the private can back he was handed a envelope to give to the squad leader. When the squad leader opened the envelope it was a copy of the post training map cut into grid squares and a note from the CSM. Not advised the squad leader to tape the map back together and have it on his desk in the morning and to quit wasting privates time sending them on pointless tasks.
It was a nice surprise seeing Ed in a video. I found it educational when Matt explained the difference between a drive line and drive shaft
A broken Hummer? Is this 'Grind Hard Plumbing Co' now? ;)
They had some serious trouble with two Army Surplus Humvees they got for cheap.
Fun little adventure getting them home.
I was just going to type that
The best hand cleaner you can get is Amway LOC. Buy a 1 litre bottle and a pump. To use just one pump on one dry hand then wet the other and rub together and Bingo the grease is dissolved. Rinse hands with clean water. Instant clean leaves hands soft and smells great. Fantastic to have in the Workshop as well.
I'm glad to see Ed still kickin it.
I admire you for putting this one out. This is why the people love you. That could have been very quick and simple. I luv U Guys
MATT: "Move spritely!"
PEANUT: "OHHHH... WATER!" 😂
I feel ya Peanut... it's getting hot out there!
Kudos to the camera swinger for catching her at 1:37 haha classic Peanut🐾👍
I wish I had a father like Matt if these videos do him justice,seems like a great dad and guy
Glad to see the reservoir full again.... Good to see the droughts being less naughty this summer.
Great to see Ed, as always. Missing him on the regular recoveries, but to be expected I guess..❤
Ed!!!! I love seeing the old man get out with you guys.
Got to wait for the glow light to go out THEN it will start using the same switch. Research the military light switch. It is easy to use. Good video.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Not only was Peanut not afraid to get dusty under the Hummer, but that Happy Tail was creating a little dust storm.
Hey from Upstate New York. I’m sorry I’m late have a lot going on I love the videos and will catch up soon all love to Matt and crew for all they do for my mental health I really do appreciate it
Peanut giving you some love while you were under the Hummer was hilarious. Dogs are always there for some support.
Hey Matt, what you need to do is pack a package of baby wipes in your truck. They work fantastic to clean your hands on the side of the road. Every time I go to pick and pull to get parts, baby wipes get you clean enough to get back in the truck.
As soon as Peanut saw the pool of water, there was no question... Peanut was already wet in her mind. There was no stopping the outcome. 😂
The Morrvar is still the best. It's a beautiful vehicle. I'm noticing the additions glad she's getting morr love.
05:52 "Gosh darn it Roy Jean, when I say to rock under the wheel I mean a ROCK. Look what you got there, it's no bigger than a grapefruit." 😁
It’s Ed !!👍👍😎
Great to see Ed back on a recovery……missed him😁
After working on those humvees in the Seabees I was yelling at my screen to throw her in neutral and toggle the right switch on the panel! 😂🤣😂🤣😂 great job guys
Well done. Good seeing Ed out and about!!
MORR should develop a mat to work on so you don't get all dirty. Call them Matt's mats. A yoga mat should do it.
He’s gone over this a lot in earlier videos. It just turns into one more item that’s dirty that then has to be stored somewhere, exc.
No more yoga for me. I’m throwing away my mat, crawling under my truck, and doing MORRga.
trashbags work great... if ya remember to load them in the rig.
This comment is underrated
Nice to see Ed on a job again! Thanks for showing.
That’s one of those real hummer’s 👌🏻 WP
Ed is the best part of the channel. Like sam with cleetus. Just brings positivity and wisdom.
Peanut steals the show.
Hi Ed. So glad to see you. ❤️. Thank You all for all you do. I really appreciate you all. ❤️
The best Crew! The best Peanut! 🙂
Multi-sections separated by flex joints with hangers and its a drive line and not just a drive shaft since its basically multiple drive shafts hooked together to form the whole assembly.
Good to see Ed out and about. Us olders need the social activity and engagement to stay mentally active. Sitting in a Lazy Boy or Rocking Chair watching the world pass by or as some call it "Waiting for God" isn't a good formula to follow as its the fast track to the grave.
Best!
As a military vehicle owner it was painful watching him try to turn on the lights lol
Facts...lol. I was saying glo plugs, neutral, and lights are on the left 😅😅😅
The real question is: is it possible to say Sprinter without saying van right afterwards. Nobody says XJ suv or F150 Truck or corvair car or wrecker Wrecker. But a sprinter is always defined. 😅
Facts!
Sprinter 💩💩💩💩
I say Econoline van when talking about those, or express van with the Chevy's... Something about vans just requires you say van! 😂
@@volvo09I want to disagree but I too always add van. There’s a pause, but the “van” identifier has to pop out.
@@volvo09😂great point! I pride myself on just saying sprinter at least 50% of the time, but I always say Astro van 😂
Great to see Ed out and about, he is looking great 👍
Hi Ed, long time no see! Should call Peanut Tadpole, the way she takes to water
I’m just glad to see Ed out on an adventure!
Wohooo
My luna acts the exact same as your peanut does. Such a lover. Must be the Australian Shepard in her. She's also part pit. Beautiful dog. Best mix I've had to date.
Nice to see Ed out and about .
We call it a prop shaft in the UK.
Anyone else notice the women in the strange mask?
The girlfriend/spouse of the first customer?
Matt... Just so you know the light switch was the oval shaped device (with three leavers) that was right below the starter switch. The military light switch has several modes ie. service drive, and Blackout drive lights and Blackout Marker Only. If my memory serves me from 1991 as that was the last time I drove a military vehicle. Nearly all tactical military vehicles use the same light switch.
ED for President!!! bring some common sense to the White House.
☠️❤
I agree Ed for president
The lights have the lock so that you have to be deliberate when turning on in a tactical environement. There are settings for black outs only when doing night vision scenarios and then normal lights, etc. I'm glad you had someone to call who could give you instructions on getting them on.
Good to have Ed back on board!
Peanut is so precious. I loved seeing her helping Matt. LOL
Ah Peanut! What a great dog. Good to see Ed out on a job. Tell him the folks in viewerland say hi.
Fantastic to see Ed out with you again on a recovery.
That light situation actually makes sense since they would not want to run lights in a hostile situation. Peanut is one of the greatest canine mechanics I've ever seen she sniffs out the problem right away you give her no credit for it 😂😂😂😂😂 ❤
Hello Ed thanks for the weather 👍🏽
Awesome seeing Ed on a recovery.
I watch a lot of channels that are in Utah and each one has different places that are just beautiful,so much history
Peanut is such a pleasure to see!
Ed is along which is always good.
Overall: I really enjoyed this episode.
Love that tail wag with Peanut & Matt underneath.
