I run a service gooseneck bed. Once you have a truck with tools and parts on demand, you'll have a whole new outlook on life! One major breakdown where your downtime is cut in half, and you'll pay for every tool you bought to keep on the truck!
I wish I still had a photo of my utility body f350 that I used to tow my gooseneck 35ft trailer only time I had to worry was when it got to far on a angle
Hey , my friend had asked me to pick up 3 commercial ovens from a school district here in San Antonio. Granted the ovens were 30 minutes away from my house. So I got there at the schools business warehouse @0630 and the receipt said that they don’t load materials but the employee used a forklift to pick each one up and we loaded em into my 20’ landscaping trailer w four foot walls and one of the pegs below broke . Then I had to push em to the back by myself so all three would fit I strapped em all down . Now getting em off was not gonna be done with a hand truck so I got him to rent a dolly from Home Depot & we still had issues getting em off but we managed. Now he’s a small appliance repair guy and each one can sell for $1500 & up . Bingo , as we will share the cost on that .
It has air trapped in the heater core just needs to be bleed out we typically use vacuum systems to suck coolant into motors these days this helps Prevent this issue.
The original clamps on the ram are supposed to adjust with the expansion and contraction while hose clamps do not move with heat and cool cycles. Hopefully it holds for you because did not work out to well for me.
@brandonnguyen8307 interesting. That's a good point I didn't consider. I was just thinking to do what's easiest if I end up with another road side repair
Wait? Don't you have a Kenny? By my math, that's three trucks. Two on the road and a backup! I feel for you, boss. I'm playing Russian roulette with some repairs I need to do on my only truck, but business is crazy, and pulling it out of service is challenging.
He's a keeper. I think having a good relationship with your crew of guys is one of the most important things. Ranks above fancy equipment, higher revenue, etc. Having guys that can look after your stuff, business, understand your pain points, but also have a good sense of humor is key. Anything less than that is just an added stress or risk.
my yard here in illinois wouldve given me stainless breakage for that oven, I hope thats what they gave you but i doubt it as it was only 200 bucks, but better to have it recycled and not paid to dump it in alandfill where it doesnt belong.
Well hoses are always a pain, especially when you don't want or need the aggravation. Also service places hardly ever check hoses unless you specifically ask to check them. Nothing worse than getting stuck on the side of the highway trying to troubleshoot leaks.😊 Quite the haul on the toy drive congrats.😊
@robdeaton9910 100%. Hoses are one of those things that can be looked at every day during a pre-check, but unless you see obvious dry rot, there is no way to see if a failure is in your future.
Thanks for the forecast! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Hiding a junction box behind drywall (or any inaccessible location) is a code violation, period. If you want to leave an outlet box in place and just use it as a junction point, then you have to have it extend through the drywall just like an outlet, and place a blank cover over it for access. Since your "electrician" didn't follow code, now you are redoing drywall work instead of just opening up a blank outlet cover.
My electrician did not make that mistake, he found it. I made that mistake, and now i'm going to pay for it, in time and money. Lesson learned. Thanks for your feedback
The cold can be brutal to the cooling systems. I had a contractor that missed a few days of work on my apartment because 2 vehicles of his had radiators crack. Gotta count your blessings when you hear that happens.
I believe it gets a lot colder out where you’re at then where I’m at. Definitely the price of two radiators has really gone up and it’s a pain just to get them in from the parts store.😂 besides that I enjoy your content that you create my Son and I get to watch it on the weekends. You actually inspired me to get into the rolloff dumpster business myself I have a maxx D set up.
Lol, idk about that. I'm not a brand snob. I like and hate em all equally. Almost 200k miles, only replacing brake pads and fluids...first time this trucks had me on the side of the road. I'll count it as a win.
@@rollingops LOL, I am honoured that you chose to respond. Cold weather can certainly fuck it up. I wouldn't have trusted it more than to get you back to the office anyway.
@@rollingopsI once dropped the radiator cap to our 155 mm Self Propelled Howitzer while we in the field , so I took the plastic wrapper that our MRES come in and double wrapped it and she would hold and eventually blew em out but we could run like that for about an hour and it made it back to the Fort . High speed , low drag !
There's nothing better than getting paid for the dumpster and then getting 500 bucks in scrap metal.

its always a good day when you turn a pay out into a pay day. saving on the dump fees is good enough and then the scape value on top . catching
Exactly. I didn't strike gold. But saved money, is made money

Had this as well a while back, took me some time to figure it out!

Air in the heater core

I have many days like this lol. Went through 3 radiators this year
I wish I could have a driver like Keegan. Awesome guy

@ I couldn’t agree less. I’m running solo but once the need of hiring guys, I feel you and Keegan set the bar high for hiring drivers
It's against the code to board up or seal up. A splice box must be exposed and accessible.

Oh yeah stainless steel and copper and electrical wire pay more if ya save em vs taking scraps at a time .

Most permanent fix is the temporary ones

How much charge for dumpster?
what was that metal tee you put inline? possibly a valve?
@@megadesertdiesel1468 it's like a bleeder connection. Just has a screw top
Gear shift handle in my 06 2500 6 speed. No longer available at all. Wtf. Thankyou my miller welder .
@@stevendee1790 if you can't buy it, fab it!!
It’s only temporary if it doesn’t work.
Should look into a scale for your new truck just hooks into the air line on the airbags then you will know how much the load weighs
@kylewilson9681 the rear is actually on springs still 😞
@ upgrades in the future lol
@kylewilson9681 100%
Dang my friend I’ve been having the same luck. I actually Happen on two of my trucks just last week

How many dumpsters do you have?
@@youngjeezy8066 15
Was doing 40-60 rentals a month with 11.
So hopefully, we can bump that up with our newest 4 dumpsters
Those speong clamps are harder to use but 💯 better than thise worm drove clamps.
Hmmm what clamps? I've already forgotten what I did lol
The problem really, is it’s a dodge.
Lol, idk about that. I'm not a brand snob. I like and hate em all equally. Almost 200k miles, only replacing brake pads and fluids...first time this trucks had me on the side of the road. I'll count it as a win.
It's probably the egr cooler
@charlesfurnell4922 let's hope not, but that's exactly what that hose is hooked up to
Charge rhe customer for the dumpster and the overage. Win win win
100%
You not carry duct tape on ya for quick fixes like that?
@tke71709 i actually tried that first. Couldn't get it to hold well enough lol. Even had Gorilla tape! To wet and cold, I think.
