My heart goes out to you working in the snow and miserable weather, spent my whole career out there in New England wrenching and hauling. Nothing like loading a track machine on a load bed in the snow!Anyhow ,[been there done that] ,heading for the Sunshine State] next Friday.Be Safe!
Staying busy and growing! 👍🏼. Loved seeing the 450 really work and being put to the test. I still think you should stick w Ford. Sell this one and get a ‘22. Btw, loved the pacifier on the dash. I remember those days 🤣🤣🤣
Man just found your Channel and man does it give me some inspiration I'm in the process of starting my own business and just recent purchased a old farm house to live in keep up the hard work man
In my fleet we run Toyo m920 19.5 tires on 60 of our 5500 trucks. they have very good traction in the winter and ice. we average about 80-90,000km per life span when we replace them at 5/32. they are always under load and usually at Max gvw so wear life is really good for such a soft tire. we have also run a Michelin xds2 19.5 with is even softer tire and slightly better in the snow but we only seem to get 60,000km out of them, they are a great tire also but as far as lifespan we don't get much out of them. we have tried many other brands of tires but as far as tire quality, life span, traction and how well they balance up on the balancer. those two have been the best.
Call a flat roofer to get your driveway sprayed with hot asphalt from the road say to about 100 ft in the driveway and when it hardens you'll be able to get up in two wheel drive
What is happiness when you are pulling hard at the base of a grade , is the torque management. Its cutting power as its measures the angle of the steer axle, inclination(grade), and throttle position. It's predicting wheel slip and possibly seeing(measured 100s of times per second) lots of weight and lots of torque vs relatively small driveline parts usually end badly. Like I said before in the video when the truck was a no start. 1050lbft x 4.62:1 x 4.30:1 axle is 20859lbft. Max traction that any tire can hold(traction limit) is 75% of the weight its carrying. Given its limited to 9950lb on the rear axle the peak torque before wheel slip would happen is about 7500lbft. If you do the math on the tire ratio to to axle. The max torque of 20859lbft with a 2.8 tire ratio(34.1 tall tire vs 12" torque rating in lbft) is 7449lbft(adjusted). The limit is based on dry road surface. Add water, lower surface temperature, or any other traction deficit variable, that will cause wheelslip. The computer is saving your wallet(twisted off u-joints). To most its much easier to complain about the "lack" of "power" than to try to understand the system, how and why it's does what it does.
If I were you I would ditch the 19.5 wheels And get 20’s “or 18’s if anyone makes them”. And put some 12ply 35-12.50 nitto terragraplers on them. Great mild all-terrain tire. Amazing grip in the wet. Decent off-road capability. Little road noise. And great longevity even with towing heavy. I’ve run them on all my HD trucks and they last 60k+ miles towing 80% of the time. Highly recommend them. As for the power loss. With that 4.30 gearing, a 10speed transmission, and 1050ft lbs it torque. You’ll notice very minimal power loss. And with taller tires with more sidewall your ride quality will increase. And will give you a little more clearance if you off-road it at all
I've heard of someone else with a Super Duty that has that rattle on the right hand "A" pillar. They said it was something like a loose wiring harness in there rattling around. In my humble opinion, I think it would be worth pulling that cover off and trying to fix it yourself. May the Almighty bless you and your family.
It's impressive how you use the truck to lead the trailer in the bad weather. I'm from Michigan and I'm white knuckled watching .. I want the confidence you have when I pull a conventional construction trailer about 6500 lbs.
The best winter tires I've found for winter is the Radial M/T Mud Star And stud them new it's like having chains on I live at 6750' elevation and we at times get a lot of snow and in spring mud and I've had no trouble going when needed
I need to see this more, like the travelling through your video or filming. It is as if I am on real vacation. I feel young again. I like that you say: 'i do like this or that.. I don't want this or that, "hehehe, very funny. It sounds as f you are talking to a friend, very pure, no bullshit. Like it. Thanks 4 the film. Cool.
I thought you were going to go down a mountain 🏔 that was a little hill, try this in 4 feet of snow on a 12% grade with 3,000 feet drop in elevation. Fun times man 👍👍
Wow what a cool view.....interesting video. You explain it very well. Nice truck with a 4 wheel drive. It does sometimes what it likes itself. take care. Go4 it. Stay cool. ;-)
You must be the hardest working man in Canada. Do you ever take a day off and relax or go fishing or do something just for yourself enjoy watching all that you do. Waiting to see you move into the new HomesteadWatching you from Florida interesting to see you getting around in the snow very impressed with you and your business thanks for sharing Peter PS two beautiful dogs enjoy watching them to
I've always been comfortable with Michelin Tires. Being a mom and having to drive a lot with the kids a good Dependable tire has always been key and and mishelyne's of always been good to me
Pulling that kind of weight up hills that you have i would use the manual shift that way you can control power better. Plus its easier on the torque converter
I've noticed that the engine/exhaust brake on these truck the rpm will rise but if you start putting on the brakes the turbo boost starts rising and it starts working more to slow down without using alot of brakes
The first video I saw was the one where you bought another house... You mentioned you would show what was inside the buildings and I thought it would be cool so I watched the last few videos also! I just subscribed but it would be cool to see the follow up on the the new house and whats in the buildings. Great videos by the way!
@@workplaytv I’m sorry if I missed it?? Do you mean the house? Our the out builds? You had mentioned that their was so much in them that you were going to show us… I was just looking forward to seeing it! By the way I’m a neighbor from Minnesota, that is not very tech savvy lol!
@@workplaytv wow, wow, wow, thanks for sharing! What a beautiful property! I can’t begin to imagine what an off grid person would pay for something like that! The trails through the swamp are amazing! The construction on the sheds are just incredible but not a surprise after seeing the addition in the house. I turned it off and thought it was don when you shut the generator down in the house….. I missed half the video! Obviously I’m not a rocket scientist… Lol!!!
The reason the truck doesn’t know what gear to go in on a steep hill like that is because you have traction control on, and torque management, so it know if it goes in the wrong gear it’ll just melt the tires off, so that it keeping it traction and not sliding.
Hey man I’m from sault Ontario and I would love to see your opinion on a duramax. We have a local company called gilbertsons and they have trucks with 600,000km+. They beat the heck out of those trucks and somehow they keep going. Keep up the good work man been around since about a year or so ago and have been loving the vids.
Please get rid of the 20s you need a little more sidewall and you have to learn go peddle pressure I'm in Maine and I ran 6 steerr tires on my f450 as towing all winter even threw an ice storm
Forgot to tell you of the side mirror on your truck that was damaged will be about 500 replacement had the same thing happened on my Mercedes suv. got hit by a big truck in heavy traffic nothing I could do .if the the mirror is not that badly damaged and it still operates I would suggest just leaving it I know you like everything to be perfect
Just stumbled upon this channel love working around equipment. Tires um I run the 265 profile on my older style f series trucks. I love em but in the 16" their hard to find. I think ur looking to deep into pros n cons a bit. Keep the same size all the way around .
You gotta build a nice shop for yourself go big make it so u tuck the trailer in there maybe some equipment and the truck then you’ll really be spoiled haha
i dont know what the trucking laws r there in Canada but here in THE USA if the trailer weights 10,000 lbs or more te driver must have a class A CDL trucking permit i have know some racers that got caught with out a class A CDL the fines was extremely high!
I know u said u dont want to switch but im thinking a 20" wheel will give you alot more options as far as tires are concerned. A falken wildpeak at3 is an amazing tire in all weather situations esp snow and they have amazing on-road manners. They dont roar at all and imho they r a great all around choice and come in load range E. No switching from tire tor tire with the seasons. One set will do everything u need all year. My wife has a set of load E falken wildpeak mt's on her truck and she daily'd that for years and it still has 10/32nds tread. Towed with it, drove it in downpours, snow, mud, and they are great as well. Bfg all terrains, and nitto all terrains and ridge grapplers are good from what ive hear also but i have personal experience with the falkens. Best of luck with whatever you choose!
Was going to bury this at the bottom, heart wouldn't let me 🤷 . You likely got this all down! But when I heard your machine running likely warming up or just how it goes most times!
