Jamie, your show just aired on my cable network from October of 2022. I feel bad for all of you that suffered from the flooding. I find it odd and disturbing that the United States has not had any news broadcasts that I'm aware of who have covered the natural disaster of rain and flooding. The news outlets cover less severe issues here and with continents that do not connect to the USA. I have been following all of your shows from the start and I just don't understand why our country would not inform us of your hard times. Either way, I wish you and the family your best, you are an inspiration.
I do not envy you doing that job in those temperatures. It seems every time I had to remove a propshaft in Britain it was raining and I would be soaked. Well done looking forward to seeing the rotator.
I was cheap for years and then finally bought a high torque cordless impact for pulling driveshafts... should have done it years earlier. Have a small compact one for caging brakes too with the long 3/4 caging socket. Regular impact won't fit sometimes. I have a dewalt dcf921 for caging but Milwaukee makes a compact one and so does rigid and prob others. 110% worth it

I don't mind pulling tail shafts/drive shafts but bugger doing that in the cold...especially in the snow! Then again, you Canadians can handle the cold better than us Aussies! I remember one winter, it was 15° or thereabouts, I was rugged up and there's some Canadian tourists (their t-shirts were the giveaway what nationality they were!)were in t-shirts and shorts!
I was in Grand Prairie over New Year’s, years ago and the tractor gelled up. They were going to tow it to their shop to warm up. Went to drop the trailer and the tow driver told me I had to do it in low gear, I didn’t believe him until I tried. At -37 c, grease is like concrete.
This was filmed in Jan 2021, he already got the "LA Rotator", did the whole video on it and is currently in season 11 of Higway thru Hell. Happy Holidays!
@@Graveltrucking In that cold a face diaper actually helps to keep the inside of your nose from freezing. Mine froze in -50 weather and it took years to finally heal.
Hey Jamie & James Jr. !!! Why isn't the notifications of your videos coming thru on "RUclips " ???? The only time that we know a video is out is when it shows on YT home channel & NOT your channel !! Anyhows,, Enjoy your videos & Glad Jamie didn't get in the wreck with his ""Rotator"" !! 🤔🙄🤥😌
Sir as a safety precaution when you remove the drive shaft and underload could you not place a strap on it to support it to prevent it from dropping ie a ratchet straps just to the point were it would catch it if it dropped buy tightng it were it was wrapped around it with anough slack to absorb the sudden realese from being under load thanks and merry Christmas to you and your family
Sir, set an outrigger in retract mode, by sending the oil over relief it will heat up faster, no cavitation in the pump or anything that can hurt the system. Just an offer to speed up the warming of the oil
Jami i have a question. If you plug semis in to keep oil warm. Couldnt the same be applied to to the hydraulic fluid as well? Or i would put a switch and tie heaters onto heat and keep tanks warmer.
@@allanj4576 ok but do you think it would help. Im thinking of a heater or similar system to oil thats tied in parrallel for wreckers. Flip a switch for winter and heats both and keep fluids from gelling up. Jami did say they left truck running so if hydraulic oil was heated like engine it would allow them to work
@allanj4576 OH yes. My KW was spec'd with an oil pan heater. You can definitely use em in the Hydro tank but running your pump for some time prior to actually working is best. I had an Artic Fox in my Hydro tank but it will suck the heat right out of your radiator.
I had a drive shaft smack me in the face , not fun. i was lucky just a trip to the ER, a few broken .,bones in my face and a few stiches , could have been my time. please always check for pressure on the drive line, be safe.
Jaimie consider running 32 weight synthetic hydraulic oil in your hydraulic systems if not 22 weight if you're going to venture in to more northerly climates. That 46 weight should only be sold in the tropics.
Why doesn't that just go down on a low loader? We use giant semi tilt-trays (rollbacks) here for that work but a low loader will do and so much easier than that. BC is still in masks, even outside? The only place we wear then in Aust now is at the doctor's (which makes sense IOMO) but there's a time when it needs to end. There was a time I would have moved to CA but not any more. Hope you had a great Christmas and best wishes for a happy and prosperous 2023.
Man, I don’t mind the cold weather, it was 8 degrees @ night here a few weeks ago, my hands would freeze up just using that ratchet wrench alone, my hands would become useless as tits on a Boar, having carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands does not help, Jamie, u r the MAN, MAN!! Whoa!!
I hear you but maybe he was recently exposed and is protecting other people. It just showes he cares about others and himself. And by the way I voted for Trump. Haha
INFO:
This video was filmed in Jan 2021 when masks were mandatory/ Jamie is talking about getting the LAFD Rotator that he now owns.
Is there going to be a update on what happened to the Mack truck
I told them that Breanna thanks for clarifying.

Good to see you
Merry Christmas Jamie and Family
Jamie, you do a fantastic job under such harsh conditions. I always enjoy watching your show when I see it, which is a lot on the weather channel.
I do not envy you doing that job in those temperatures. It seems every time I had to remove a propshaft in Britain it was raining and I would be soaked. Well done looking forward to seeing the rotator.
I've pulled them in -35°C before the windchill and it sucks. Last year I bought Zippo hand warmers to put in my mitts. Best thing ever!
WOOF! 🐻❄ Looks sooo 🥶 .
Thank's for you and your family keeping the roads open, Merry Christmas to you and your family and happy new year
Always love seeing an upload on this channel Merry Xmas Jamie & crew
Hang in there Jamie 👍👍
Wow! That was a very "cool" job you did there!! Keep safe and keep warm!!
it's cold outside, keep the clips coming
They just ran through another spell of F'n cold in Quesnel.

Thanks for showing me never move too Canada-25. Hell no. I thought the 2 degrees we had here in VA. Was bad last week. Jaime your awesome . stay safe
-25 Celsius , which is like -13 Fahrenheit , still cold lol!

Short but loved the content as always keep up the good work
Thanks. You might need a fleece covered board or something to keep your back off the ice and snow. Burr ⛄️🥶🎄🎄🎄
My bionic limbs don’t work in -25 too! 😮
Getting a new rotator are we?! Can’t wait to see it! Merry Christmas to you and your family, wish you a successful year to come!

Been there done that.
Hard to explain
We need you guys to come back on the air with a new season
You're a hard-working man Jamie my hat off to you
I feel that Jamie need a theme song or a song written for him
Sir, set an outrigger in retract mode, by sending the oil over relief it will heat up faster, no cavitation in the pump or anything that can hurt the system. Just an offer to speed up the warming of the oil
I'm sure he knows his advantages.
He's a Bad M A N
Jami i have a question. If you plug semis in to keep oil warm. Couldnt the same be applied to to the hydraulic fluid as well? Or i would put a switch and tie heaters onto heat and keep tanks warmer.
Trucks that work in the cold constantly usually just run thinner hydraulic oil, I’ve never seen a system for warming the hydraulic oil.

@andysmith5220 Bottom line is it takes lots and lots of Cash for good dependable service. The radiators only but out so much heat
Hows the ole first Truck of yours doing?
Ho Ho Ho... Play safe guys!

Can anyone tell me the name of the acoustic song at the start please?
Does anyone know if he still sell merchandise? I’ve been trying his website but it doesn’t work

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You need regular uploads like Ron pratt always enjoy watching
i would like to see old fashioned and modern ways of hooking up a truck to a under-lift
Don't you have an on board hydraulic tank heater ? 120 volt ?
this should be good
Going to California to pick up a rotator (another?)
this was filmed in 21 Jamie bought Rotator in 22.
Does anyone know what network Highway thru Hell can be found on?

Mask wearing is a personal choice here now other than hospitals or walk-in clinics.
Masks are nice to keep frigid air out of your lungs
@@andrewnorris1514 Good point.
I cant understand why -25 would bother the hydraulic , here in Alberta at -43 (literally last week )the hydraulic system works fine
ALL Systems are not equal
How long ago was this filmed?
I think this video was filmed in 2021
Do the coveralls do much for warmth?
They allow you to grub around in the snow and ice and keep your interior clean an absolute M U S T
Acetylene hates cold apparently lol

WARM WEATHER. ! !
Hello M.Davis, , why you wear the mask ? Here in QC, its finish since May 14 2021. So, have a nice day and Happy Hollydays. Peter. ;) .
At the laundromat in Vancouver December 24th you still need a mask
Recorded in Jan 2021
Is Canada still under querantin? Wherein face masks. So irritating. Great video.
Recorded in Jan 2021
Do you guys have to wear masks everywhere inside still?
Jamie, both of us are get to old for this shit.
So are you charging the customer the whole time you're waiting for the hydraulics to start working? Maybe call Al Quiring for some tips.
For the love of humanity Jamie, throw that fricken mask in the trash. Hope you have a great holiday season 🎄✌️
I hear you but maybe he was recently exposed and is protecting other people. It just showes he cares about others and himself. And by the way I voted for Trump. Haha
For the love of humanity keep the mask on looks like you were exposed to something. 😁😁😁
I can see you or family did not have co 19😷
I agree get rid of the mask-25
Was filmed in winter 2021
Doesn’t matter when it was was filmed he’s outside with a mask.
