Well if you can keep your truck out of the snow and ice then one should do so at all cost. Weigh your options and chose carefully. Clearly he made the right choice , especially now he will know that Casey has a fancy undercarriage washer for his truck! LOL ....
Is there a reason so many American low-loaders use a drop neck instead of rear ramps? Almost all low loaders in Australia load over the rear (I think I've only seen one drop neck here, ever) so you don't need to detach the prime mover. It makes for faster, easier loading.
Are you sure you can’t Regen the truck while driving. The Peterbilt 579, Kenworth T680 and Isuzu NPR could as long as you were driving over 35 mph for about 30 min.
I was thinking that as well. 😂 (But since he has already shared a short with the new bumper on the front, I think this was filmed a bit ago and is too late of a reminder.)
Also after seeing so many videos with the Zacklift on the western star the truck looks a bit odd when you detach the wrecker body. 99% of the time i see a bobtail rig its a standard freightliner or day cab that pulls a 53ft box style trailer or flatbed, but seeing yours with nothing attached is odd to me at first buy then i remember you bought that truck with the wrecker body in mind and it all makes sense
Simple stuff for you seems complicated to those of us who haven't done it. Pulling off the ZakLift and getting the trailer adjusted and hooked up properly certainly is important. Making sure big equipment is secured properly for safety reasons for you and those on the road. Glad you do it right and are safe out there.
I remember when the "Lull" or telehandlers 1st hit construction sites, and man, they have just gotten so much better. Amazing machines with way more options these days.
A Lull got me a job over 30 years ago. The previous mechanic was ordered by the shop manager to do some work on one at a jobsite and it fell and injured him. Idiot manager should have been fired, but we figured he knew where something was buried.
In at least 1 way, the Lull is still superior. The traveling carriage is sweet for its ability to travel forward level with the frame of the tractor. It's really nice when you're picking a load off scaffolding or unloading a semi.
My slack adjuster is properly mounted and secured. Not cracked, broken or missing. and has no more than one inch of free play... Or at least that's what the DMV wants our students to say on the pre trip test...
Your ability to backup and control trailers or insert vehicles through tight shop doors is awesome! Always love seeing the sprinkler cleaning the bottom of the truck and I wish I had known the sprinkler trick when I was young and mucking off the bottom of tractors!!!
Casey has some carefully thought out, versatile and flexible equipment to meet a wide variety of needs. Really cool to see it in transition, and then in operation. Thanks for the video.
Good morning Casey people need to learn that Truckers leave space so they have room to stop if they need it because they can't stop fast like regular vehicles can. The sprinkler is definitely a genius idea for sure and saves time
Doesn’t mean you should push them in the ditch like Casey said. People are always gonna pass the big truck. There’s a difference between cutting someone off and break checking and someone who’s driving faster than the truck and is just passing to get in front. By the time they pass they should be well ahead and if you’re so worried about your stopping zone, just back off a bit then. Takes patience to drive truck. Saying things like “I’ll just put him in the ditch if he’s going to pass me” is just immature, people like that don’t need to be driving a big truck let alone any vehicle
@@calvinroberts7496 Sometimes you've got to do what you need to to keep yourself and the other person safe. Its part of defensive driving. And hopefully the other person learns in the meantime.
@@georgevindo yes don’t worry I totally agree with you but pushing another car into a snowy ditch with your trailer or truck is not defensive and unsafe for the person in the car.
The sprinkler is absolutely pure genius. I had a boat trailer that had cleanout ports but that's just so simple that it likely works great. Another example of working smart NOT hard. Re the Sub. Good for you. I watched a Cadillac that just had to pass me... bounce off the guardrail. Oh darn !
I had a land yacht just beside himself on a mountain road going from Southern to Northern California. So I'm driving an Army 7-ton fuel tanker, and if you've ever seen military vehicles, they have massive bumpers on the front, and most of them have proportionally massive winches. At least this one did. So he finally spies an opening, shoves 500 cid, 400 hp into a lower gear, zooms around and jumps in front of me, only to have to slam on the brakes to keep from rear-ending the slower produce truck in front of me. That big an engine and drum brakes on a winding mountain road - perfect. Those things were used at Indy as pace cars, but they didn't have to do that kind of braking. He fish-tailed for a good several hundred feet before he got it under control. I'll give him credit for that, but there he was, inches from that monster in front of him, and inches from my bumper that probably weighed as much as his Eldo in back of him. I hoped he crapped himself and had to stew in it for the next hour.
There're times I think a ride along in a big truck would be a useful educational experience as part of drivers ed. I spent the summer after graduating highschool loading moving trucks. They felt even more ponderous from the passenger seat than they looked driving past them in my car. It also made clear how massive the blind spots were.
I have a real problem with Tailgaters. I used to play a game on the interstate called "how slow will they go?" I just slowly let up on the gas without braking. My lowest score was 35...in a 65. I didn't feel safe at that point and put on my flashers at which point they wized up and passed me. There was no one in the other lane the entire time.
The Zacklift just comes off like that? That's amazing. That and a thousand other well thought out features. No wonder you were so excited to get it, and have been like boys with toys ever since.
As you know, the prep work for the next job is always needed. So that your rig will be in top condition when you need it most. Thanks for reminding us of that, as not many car owner do what they should do to keep themselves and their loved ones safe inside a checked and maintained vehicle. Laziness kills, I have seen it so many times inspecting accidents in the past. Keep safe!
This has become my favorite RUclips channel end of story! It’s motivated me to make videos of my day to day salvage towing adventures, I don’t think it will garner much interest but for me it will be fun documenting my growth!
My brother has a term he uses for Subaru drivers here - and sadly, about 99 percent of them earn that name! I'm super cautious about the space in front of large rigs because I know how much I need the space in front of my RV when I'm out and about, and too many people just don't get it. I think some of them are the same ones that will dart across train tracks right in front of the train, then wonder why the engineer gets pissed like they do. Love the use of the traveling yard sprinkler to rinse the bottom of the truck!!
I might have to get one of those sprinkler deals. That would make inspecting trucks a lot more fun and probably more effective this time of year. I'd much rather have cleanish water drip on me than salty slush and mud. You can only get so much from the outside with the pressure washer.
Sprinkler is so cool! I used to have to wash Willamette clay off my trucks every week. I used a pump up garden sprayer to pre-soak everything with soap and water solution. Then I figured out I could attach a quick connect air fitting to it, and never pump again. Turned out to be a great timesaver! 😊
This is only the second time this truck has done a stationary one. It probably would have done it while pulling that hill, but I didn’t want to risk a derate in those conditions, so I did it ahead of time
Gooooood morning Casey! The fun just never ends! I like the undercarriage washer, who ever invented that is brilliant. Thanks for taking us along and thumbs UP!👍
I made a little drive thru under wash station at my house next to my shop that I drive over. I dug a trench about 2' wide and 18" deep and 10' long and I filled it with concrete with a steel 8" wide channel drain set in the concrete and I put down gravel on either side of it. I took a piece of pipe and drilled a bunch of holes and used a couple U bolts to attach the pipe to the underside of the drain grate. I already had a home made 10hp electric pressure washer inside my shop so I connected it to the spray bar and found a cheap homelink remote receiver from ebay and wired it into the pressure washer to turn it on. When I get home I hit my homelink button or the extra button on my gate opener remote and I drive over my under side wash station.
oh that new heavy duty bumper looks amazing Casey! Can't wait to se ethat on the truck! Telehandlers just seem to rad. I agree Eathon Casey's back up skills are amazing!
When the regen light comes on, if possible to keep at a constant speed, should do the Regen rolling. Yes, the lights will come on, wait 20 minutes or so if rolling steady, should do the Regen rolling.
I had to try to figure out your response "not possible", but think I figured it out due to the mountains, it's impossible to maintain a constant speed for 20 minutes??
Casey, let me introduce you to a product called NHOU oil undercoating, Sometime later this Spring or summer when your truck frame and underbelly is clean and dry, you spray this product on all over and it will keep things in Tip top shape, no rust.
the idea of using garden sprinklers to clean the salt from the bottom of the truck... mcguiver strikes again hahaha, a simple and effective idea that I don't think many people would think of.
I live in St Louis Missouri the Rust Belt and I tell people constantly to stop at a car wash that has undercarriage spray or get in there with the power washer yourself and get as much of the undercarriage as you can it will make your car last so much longer
@@CaseyLaDelle I am sorry..,was just trying to be a good subscriber who helps provide answers to others. It’s something that I am appreciated for on two other channels. Since i realize you have limited time to reply to similar questions.
I love how everybody's been using the sprinkler tractor to wash the underside of so many vehicles I don't think I can believe a tenth of them that's a awesome idea and I can admit I never thought of doing such thing
If Ethan had his CDL and Casey had a couple of forklifts (small-ish fork lift and a heavy duty telehandler with a set of counter weights), Casey could start an industrial moving channel supplementing his towing work. And we could see the Zaklift and that awesome rollback in action working together on videos.
That you have the Zacklift and a lowboy helps .. As for the undercarriage washer ... pour some dial soap in the hose ... first you get it dial clean and then rinsed !!
@@1988dgs never heard that before. But theoretically you could put any sort of cleaning additive. It's just a container that screws in between two hoses
Ethan those telehandlers are super easy to drive. If you can drive a tractor you can drive one of those. The only "difficult" part is learning to properly use the forks and boom, but that just comes with practice. Those were the first heavy machines that I leaned how to drive, and boy have we done some sketchy shit with them lol
This trailer, Zacklift & truck set-up has given you incredible flexibility. Good thing with so little snow this year - timing couldn't have been better.
I built a 8’ t shaped pvc layout with lawn sprinklers on it. High pressure and flows a lot of water. Hot or cold water. Great for cleaning mud, salt, and slush off of the undercarriage. Not as handsfree as the tractor but works so well.
I always enjoy your work you have a very strong work ethic. While you make so many things look simple, most of us couldn’t do half of what you do. Your community service work is commendable and always a joy to watch. Your equipment is always clean and shiny except for that yellow trailer, please paint it so it will be brought up to your standards. Clean well kept equipment has always seemed to be your trade mark and such equipment says a lot about your work too, so time to bring the yellow trailer up to your standards and bring confidence to your customers about your work and equipment always looking their best. Sorry if I ranted a bit but just had to say what I think every time you use that trailer.
My brother used to race on an oval speedway that was made crushed decomposed granite . The only easy way to clean underneath the car was to use a tractor sprinkler.
I don't know about you Casey- i drive for a living too, I see the sphincters all around thinking of nothing but getting themselves where they need- at everyone elses' expense- i constantly remind myself outloud ..... "Your Van IS NOT A Weapon, Your Van IS NOT A Weapon" sighhhh- thank god for weekends ! and content like yours to show we all have sphincter problems !!! :)
Casey why are you waiting on a regen? The motor can regen while driving. There is no need to sit to regen. You might want to get that looked at. Also when you get in from a trip force the regen. You have a regen button on the dash. Push and hold it and it will go into a regen. Sit there or just go in your house.
Lol i use to drive for an equipment rental company and we use to do the same. In some situations its cheaper subbing it out than risking it with your own driver and truck.
Interesting video as usual. I assume your remark about putting the Subaru into a snow bank was made in jest. Pulling into a truck's buffer space is thoughtless and dangerous - unless there is a complelling reason to do that momentarily - like an emergency. And of course putting someone into a snow bank carries a significant risk of creating an emergency.
What a cool way to flush the underside. I would think if you deliberately "put him into the snowbank," there might be some time in the gray bar hotel in the offing and some thinning of the wallet.
Here in Minnesota I was always told to take any truck, salt truck, dump truck out and drive as long as you can through the heaviest rain after the winter to help because just washing isn't enough. I like the tractor sprinkler though! Driving probably gets more flex and vibration through the truck.
your truck should do a regin while driving. I was driving a cement mixer and we ideled a lot, and often just as I got loaded I'd get the "high soot level" warning. When that happens I run at a slightly lower gear to keep my rpms up, and the engine will regin, the light would almost always go off before I got to my customer, If it didn't than after pouring I'd let it high idle.
I put those people in the snow bank too, and I don't even drive a big rig. The amount of people who don't understand that you need a gap in front of you (and a bigger one in bad weather) is just wild. No, just because you gave awd doesn't mean you can drive like it's 30c and sunny out.

The sprinkler at the end is pure absolute genius
I have had my tractor since the 80’s and it still works every summer
I do the same thing with my boat trailer, after launching my boat in Salt water.
We do that to everything when we get home from the Bonneville Salt Flats. The street looks like a snowstorm afterwards.
Works on muddy 4x4's too.
I live in Michigan where we salt the roads.. That idea made me go "Whoahhh.. Brilliant!"
Your truck looks naked without the Zack lift on it. The sprinkler thing is genius!
I bet that Subaru saw those spikes on the wheels and backed off.
Dont forget to lube with grease the places you didnt grease when maintenace time!!! Love toe videos!!

Wow That's was Awesome unhooking ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My brother used to race on an oval speedway that was made crushed decomposed granite . The only easy way to clean underneath the car was to use a tractor sprinkler.
I don't know about you Casey- i drive for a living too, I see the sphincters all around thinking of nothing but getting themselves where they need- at everyone elses' expense- i constantly remind myself outloud ..... "Your Van IS NOT A Weapon, Your Van IS NOT A Weapon" sighhhh- thank god for weekends ! and content like yours to show we all have sphincter problems !!! :)
Casey why are you waiting on a regen? The motor can regen while driving. There is no need to sit to regen. You might want to get that looked at. Also when you get in from a trip force the regen. You have a regen button on the dash. Push and hold it and it will go into a regen. Sit there or just go in your house.
Casey, you make it happen great work. I watch a lot of your videos.
Yes, your insurance requires you to take videos. Thats what you tell the next person. Great delivery on such a nice day ! wowzer
With the lift off you can grease the other stuff you couldn't get at the other day. Thanks for the video.
Yep, takes 30 seconds to hit those two fittings real quick and it’s done
The under-chassis wash is brilliant!!!
The tractor wash was idea was on another level.
There's a lot of guys digging through there shops right now looking for there sprinkler. Great idea 👍
Used to do the sprinkler thing with my 4x4's after mudding. Pretty good time saver.
Snow!
Casey your equipment is so versatile. I really enjoyed the photography. Well done Ethan.
Keep working smarter and not harder Casey, you will live longer 😉 no use in working harder than you have too.
Sprinkler is priceless!
Lol i use to drive for an equipment rental company and we use to do the same. In some situations its cheaper subbing it out than risking it with your own driver and truck.
Great job! That sprinkler is an excellent idea!!!
Great video
Interesting video as usual. I assume your remark about putting the Subaru into a snow bank was made in jest. Pulling into a truck's buffer space is thoughtless and dangerous - unless there is a complelling reason to do that momentarily - like an emergency. And of course putting someone into a snow bank carries a significant risk of creating an emergency.
I cut him off and didn’t let him pass me.
That was very interesting to watch you cope with everything going on.
What a cool way to flush the underside.
I would think if you deliberately "put him into the snowbank," there might be some time in the gray bar hotel in the offing and some thinning of the wallet.
Love that tractor sprinkler 😊
Here in Minnesota I was always told to take any truck, salt truck, dump truck out and drive as long as you can through the heaviest rain after the winter to help because just washing isn't enough. I like the tractor sprinkler though! Driving probably gets more flex and vibration through the truck.
your truck should do a regin while driving. I was driving a cement mixer and we ideled a lot, and often just as I got loaded I'd get the "high soot level" warning. When that happens I run at a slightly lower gear to keep my rpms up, and the engine will regin, the light would almost always go off before I got to my customer, If it didn't than after pouring I'd let it high idle.
Yes, that’s how all trucks work. But I’m sure as hell not going to take the risk of it going into derate up on the mountain
@@CaseyLaDelle don't blame you.
I enjoy watching your videos. You always have such a good attitude even when things go wrong.
I put those people in the snow bank too, and I don't even drive a big rig. The amount of people who don't understand that you need a gap in front of you (and a bigger one in bad weather) is just wild.
No, just because you gave awd doesn't mean you can drive like it's 30c and sunny out.
You've got the high torque impact, take those crank handles off the dolly legs, make an adapter, zip zip
Nice!!!!!
So Wise , Thank You .
