[@stevewood3170]

I bet if Miller was waiting on the 1.2 million dollar check they would be a little more responsive😂😂😂😂

[@MercifulTowing]

TRUEEEEEEEEEEE

Inside holes on fork holders line up perfectly with spring hangers.

[@scottb02]

That is a fine looking machine there! Good job.

[@t.l.robinson2162]

Thank you for a great video.

[@scottlambert2609]

We call those flange driveshafts “ Diveshafts from Hell” heavy operator from buffalo, NY love your videos

[@MercifulTowing]

Man im so glad I dont have to deal with them from up there!! I can always tell when a truck is from up north though!!

[@MATTEOSTOWING]

Nice job! Loving the truck!

[@markgulbranson-qe3ky]

I knew a guy who use to make his own tow pins bc every time he bought those tow pins they would snap ( probably cheap metal ) . I use to drive a self loader automatic w/ hydraulic brakes only once I drove a truck with air brakes. Are yard was small .

[@deanspagnolo4976]

Very nice job

[@michaelrocker9000]

That looks like the same controller that Ron Pratt has on his 1150R but he has a regular looking remote. I 'me sure Miller will get to you quickly or contact Lynch Trucks.

[@MercifulTowing]

They are very similar but miller has changed and upgraded a few options. its taken time but everything is finally working properly now

[@erahelp]

great video

[@DJPLAST2]

There is a video on the Miller web site that explains how to sync the control.

[@MercifulTowing]

its more than that video explains, that is just to quickly sync it when you turn it on. Ours are completely losing communication with the receiver and will not connect. I spent a day on the phone with miller engineers and we still couldnt get it figured out so they are sending me new receiver and remote.

[@towtruckaj]

I use the milwaukee goat skin gloves for that exact reason, They don't velcro, And they are waterproof for quite a while into you wear the hell out of them, not super lightweight but they have pretty good dexterity still, Downside is in the winter they are very cold so I rotate them out for insulated gloves then, and in cooler months they stay pretty cool when you first put them on which sometimes is really nice sometimes not so much. If you want light I believe Milwaukee also has the nitrile dipped style that is still waterproof and slip on with no velcro but is a little lighter, I prefer the thicker goat skin ones nitrile gloves always want to stick to you when you take them off and come halfway inside out in my experience.

[@MercifulTowing]

Im not a fan of the nitrile style gloves. So far these have been working great if they do get wet they dry out super quick. I can deal with velcro for the way these are being im impressed. Just a matter of how well they hold up only time will tell that! Ill probably buy another pair though for sure!

[@towtruckaj]

@@MercifulTowing I can't stand the velcro usually, Only exception I make is for winter gloves as its a lot harder to find a decent insulated pair of gloves without velcro, Not a big fan of the nitrile either but I prefer them over velcro.

[@thomaskirk9341]

My remote looks similar to yours, when mine goes off sync there's a small hole on the lower right, I put a paper clip in it to reset, push in until you feel a click and it's good to go. A lot of times all it takes is to pop the battery out and re-install it.

[@MercifulTowing]

In the bottom right of the remote?

[@user-ln7of9gs4s]

What is a flanged drive shaft? Did the Vovlo have an Allison or the IShift Automatic?

[@MercifulTowing]

The flange driveshaft is a flat plate on both the drivline and the pinion and they have little grooves they lock together and then you use 4 nuts and bolts to secure it. they are an absolute pain when they start to rust ive had them so tight I had to cut them out. They can reallly mess up a day!

[@bluelion6972]

Is it diffucult drive manual truck

[@renaldojason]

No

[@jimmydonegan606]

Magnetek makes the remote for Miller. Might have better luck contacting them directly.

[@MercifulTowing]

I was finally able to get ahold of Miller and I can honestly say once i get ahold of them they are great to work with I spent most of a day on the phone with and engineer and we diagnosed alot of stuff but still could never get it to connect to the transmitter. They are sending me a new one!

[@kelvintorrence5994]

its not a good sign if a hook is towing a new truck set up the highway, I've seen navistars, kenworths, freightliners, and I think a set of used trucks getting the hook

[@t.l.robinson2162]

Call Miller and ask for John Hawkins. He will return your call and he will get you an answer.

[@jimmygodair639]

#teamriddle

[@artyart31]

👌👌👌 I think it was #murphysdiesel or #caseyladelle that had the same problem with their under reach remote and had a solution for it. not sure which one it was. Might want reach out to one of them

[@obsornobs6063]

I agree def and egr are junk wish we didn’t have t have them there nothing but trouble and nice rotator

[@GeneHutchings]

But we're the government, and we're here to help😬🫡🤣😂😂😂🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣

[@jasondrake6710]

🤔🫣

[@Failure_Is_An_Option]

3:22 The people required emissions. The government takes orders from the people, not the other way around junior. Cool how you attack the government for something that directly benefits you. Getting the particulates out of the air has extended your quality of life. Hell you are literally getting paid for an alleged emission issue... I'm surprised you are not blaming the government for your controller not working. After all the government assigns the frequency, and power it is allowed to operate at.

[@MercifulTowing]

Did I not blame the government for my remote not working.... dang ill do better next time!!!! Make sure they know its their fault!

[@scottkrieger6386]

This a 50t rotator? 😊

[@MercifulTowing]

yes

[@jimtubeimpala5003]

It's because the battery is junk or your standing to far out from the truck

[@MercifulTowing]

it completely lost communication with the receiver, Miller has since warrantied it out. This is the 2nd one that has happened to.

[@matta3888]

Have you tried using a different phone #.

[@MercifulTowing]

Ive called alot of #s to get ahold of them for various reasons. The problem is they have a very limited amount of guys that handle these situations for the entire country. Those guys are very busy. Even my distributor said they have the same issues. I was finally able to get a call back from them and get it sorted out

[@boboda7]

Can you hardwire the remote to the truck with a 20 ft cable, and Autocar trucks are way more problematic than Volvo or freightliner trucks

[@MercifulTowing]

No its completely wireless and I dont really want a wired remote. They have changed away from the good remotes due to backorder issues so they came up with these and maaaannnn it wasnt a good idea on their end. I think theyve realized that as the old remotes have become more available im seeing them on new trucks now so fingers crossed we only have to deal with these for a couple years.

[@boboda7]

@@MercifulTowing when we use our wireless remote near cell towers , electric sub stations, and near ham radio antennas or other places with high frequency interference we hard wire our remote with a 20ft cable back to the truck because the remote will not respond if it’s not physically attached to the truck

[@MercifulTowing]

@@boboda7 that's crazy is that on these newer trucks? We'd have to install a whole new system to be able to hard wire into the truck

[@boboda7]

@@MercifulTowing if your rotator has the omnex wireless remote it should have a port to hard wire to the truck in case it loses sync with a load in the air

[@jordanmunzlinger7709]

you need a wired remote.

[@Leotheconstructionguy]

Waste of $ to have a remote than.

[@towtruckaj]

Why on earth would anyone want a wired remote... If anything just remove the current remote kit and sell it as they are big money and buy a kit that actually works plus save a ton of money.

[@MercifulTowing]

We had a chevron 408 renegade that had a wired remote.... still constantly had problems LOL I dont want a wired remote either I want to be back at the driveshaft and move the truck to get the bolts in position. Its 2024 they should have wireless figured out by now!!!!!!!

[@mtransport2144]

100% emissions problems.... not volvo or engine issues

[@markgulbranson-qe3ky]

Just be glad that heavy duty wrecker of yours is still diesel bc Crooked Slow Joe Biden wants to make them electric and driverless like his brain lol I perfer a wrecker I can drive the fill up with fuel in it. Otherwise love the look of that truck it's beautiful looking ❤

[@TowMan127]

👏👏👏👏👏💪💪💪💪

[@holdenbrougham1056]

Dpf issues on a volvo or is it volvo with cummins engine, pollution bullshit is so untrustworthy or diesel cars as well , then if it fucks up bad enough it makes 10,000 times more pollution in 20 minutes it takes to blow it up ,

[@MercifulTowing]

It had a volvo engine, and your correct its nothing but a money grab!

[@kelvintorrence5994]

so I shouldn't buy a new Volvo because they suck with that def system and volvo motor

[@mtransport2144]

Time to delete all that emissions junk
