The Forest Service contacted me about a stolen truck, left abandoned at the very top of one of our local peaks. With winter almost here, the chances of it getting buried in snow are high so we need to get it down ASAP! But there's a problem that could stop us...watch to find out!

​@@yeahright3021. Why is that your response to a guy saying thanks for helping them out? 2. He didnt say anything about being paid. 3. If you think him saying "working with them" = pay no. Because hes said "working with them" when picking up his own stuck vehicles. 4. Lastly I could see him paid not doubting that but we just dont know. Also the owner of the truck could pay aswell. Or he doesnt get paid at all because this video will pay for it.

Glad to see you are keeping within the useful load constraints. There is no sense in overstresing any helicopter. I have rebuilt main gearboxes that have been overstressed. That cost the customer an absolute fortune. And you don't want to damage a friends helicopter.

[@gregggriffith4795]

I went through A&P school back in the 90’s. One of my classmates was a helicopter pilot. He had just recently autorotated a Hiller after it chucked a rod through the crankcase. The suspected cause was overload while pulling Christmas trees. Not applicable to a turbine machine so much, but I can see how the gearbox could suffer as well.

[@da443-galmond4]

Great to see you get a relatively easy job every so often. Normally, I'd agree that that part breaking would suck...but it happened when it was stolen to "hopped up" car thieves. The break left them stranded with a 15 mile hike that they probably were not ready to do. I'd say that was instant karma.

Great vid guys! So awesome that that person got their truck back. Thieves are the worst. Hope they had to walk back😂

[@neilfromclearwaterfl81]

And they left the cab open to weather too when they abandoned it. Well at least they didn't bust out the windows, slash the tires, disable the engine, etc like some other joy riders are prone to doing. I will keep saying this - We need mandatory laws of restitution where thieves when caught (with no way around it) have to pay back up to seven times the value of what they took or up to seven times the cost of the repairs in order to make more complete restitution to the owners for the stress and inconvenience. This going with 80% insurance coverage after a $2,000 deductible viewed as being acceptable really isn't going to discourage many plus insurance doesn't make one whole but just takes some of the edge off of it. Best!

[@Conn653]

Dave, I really enjoy your videos 🙂 Back in college, I was a lineman(ramp-rat) at the airport, while learning to fly. YOU NEVER REFUEL A HELICOPTER WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. The spinning rotor can create an excessive amount of static electricity. If I was a line chief and you did this on my ramp, I'ld fire you on the spot. Stop taking chances with your life and equipment. Safety First!

Diesel Dave crashing the snow cat and the emotional aftermath was the video that introduced me to your channels and made me a subscriber. At that point, I had never heard of Dave Sparks / HeavyD, did not know anything about your recoveries or what you did, until that video popped up in my feed.

[@stanwooddave9758]

Big shout-out to the muscle for lending HeavyD the copter. Some great shots of the copter making / pushing snow. I think this is the cheapest HeavyD is every spent on fuel to recover something. Usually it's two or three semi's lined up to get some fuel, then feeding those guys in the crew, can't be cheap. LOL.. HeavyD may of brought the crew lunch for the day, but if it's not on video, it never happened. LOL. Also a big shout-out to the Forrest Dept. reconnecting with HeavyD.

[@oif3vetk9]

I can understand why they did take a oem knuckle. Most people that lift their trucks use quality spring lift kits and don't use cheap kits that use blocks or modified knuckles like that one. That said, if they run into a situation like this again and have the opportunity to inspect the vehicle first I bet they don't make that mistake again.

[@GearHead1258]

[@dalehatton6965]

Just a little tip that can save your life, when working under a car that's only supported on a jack, pop the wheel that you took off under the car so if it does slip off the jack the wheel will stop you from being turned into a meat pancake.

[@bobsnabby2298]

What a fix !!, flying Heli is super cool !

[@mopartshemi]

You are 150% on your analogy of how that lift is achieved. The lift is achieved by the strut you need the taller knuckle to have proper upper control arm and balljoint angles as well as camber.
