    Nice work, just one thought on unloading- Instead of freespooling your winch and letting it slide off the way you did, after slicking the wheels with your wd40 or soap, slide the deck back far enough to clear the rail guides behind the cab, then tilt the deck up pretty steep and winch it down the deck until the front tires are just hanging over the edge of the deck.
    Now when you extend the deck to the ground, the wheels will be touching just enough that you can continue the way you did without risking the car sliding off too fast and causing any damage to the front end, or the transmission.

    Good job getting it done. At one point you have to drag the car cause it’s not in neutral so skates, WD40 or another slippery substance would definitely help with that process.

      I guess because I've been doing insurance calls, my boss is like, just drag it! Never Ever mentioned anything about skates. Kinda raised a red flag for me, so it's that or I'm missing something.

    So you walked the truck under just to pull it up the rest of the way anyway? Use skates next time and stop playing around.

  • @allenszykula8071
    @allenszykula8071 8 месяцев назад +3

    I prefer skates if needed but alot not all cars can be flipped into neutral. This maybe effective but it puts a lot of stress on the hydraulics. And truck itself. Protect your equipment put in some work your truck will last longer and cost less in maintenance.

    • @CarlosSanchez-gu8rc
      @CarlosSanchez-gu8rc 3 месяца назад

      Yes, break is engaged or the PTO won’t release but the back wheels come up off the ground so it kind of defeats the purpose as long as the wheels are in the air

    True story. This woman was living with my sister for years because she couldn't make it on her own. I barely know this woman (I very briefly met her way back in 2012, and I haven't seen her since), and somehow, her troubles are affecting MY life! Her car broke down, and she couldn't be bothered to call the tow truck herself, so she had my sister and brother-in-law do it for her.
    My sis and brother-in-law knew the tow truck driver, but he (the tow truck driver) mistakenly thought they all lived with me, so he came over to my house and mistook MY car for the woman's car! I was dead asleep and didn't hear him knocking. (I'm a night owl) Since my car was locked and he couldn't get the key, he had to winch my car onto his flatbed while it was in park! My brother-in-law came over just in time because my car was fully strapped on the flatbed by the time he got here. He had to knock on my window to wake me up.
    This all happened last week, and I've been paranoid about my car since. So far, everything seems to be okay, but I'm still worried. I'm scared to go on my 12-hour drive now. I don't know a whole lot about cars, but my car is a 2014 Honda civic. I don't know if my car has a safety feature that automatically disengages the parking brake while being winched or not.

      Well im no expert, ive been towing 6 months and a mechanic 10 years. I'll say 99.9% chance it's totally fine. Dragging a vehicle a short distance rarely causes damage. It should still be avoided for that .01 chance something happens. If there was drivetrain damage it would have been obvious by now. Sorry that happened to you, that's definately annoying. But you don't need to lose any more sleep on it.

      @@grigorirasputin996 Yeah, I took it to the Honda dealership and had them look at it because my car would sometimes shake a bit when slowing down. It turns out that both my front and back tires just needed to be realigned. I don't think it was the tow truck driver's fault, though, because he only kicked my front tires, not the back ones.

      Well you always wanna try to get it from whatever wheels are not locked it’s a front wheel drive try to get it from the back first so that way your wheels that are locked are closer to the edge of the bed and it will be easier to unload
