Thieves couldn't steal this truck, so I did!

Someone attempted to steal this truck and failed when they couldn't figure out how the lock cylinder and shift mechanism worked, so they bailed and left it damaged. I got called asking if I could secure it and tow it back to the main fleet shop for repairs, but unfortunately my truck was in the shop getting the @onspotnorthamerica22 automatic tire chains installed. But then I realized that if I could get the truck running, I could drive it the short distance back to my yard so that the vehicle would be off the side of the road and safe until I got my wrecker back a couple days later.
After my truck was done, I hooked up the @zackliftinternational4841 and got the truck towed back to the shop, then Ethan and I hooked up the gooseneck trailer to go on a late night long distance recovery of a ford truck that blew the transmission in a remote area of eastern Oregon.

Great, you have Ethan. He asks questions we would ask. Glad you not alone out there.

[@johnhufnagel]

conversation I just had: wife: why the hell are you watching videos on some guy in Oregon that does towing? me: first, he does more than towing. he does rescues as well. wife: my question still applies. me: second, I like to learn things. even if its things i'm most likely never going to do, knowledge is power. you never know when something you "learned" that's completely unrelated to the problem at hand, comes in handy. it's the old Boy Scout in me (before they got woke and weird.) it's the reason all my vehicles have full size spares, and not donuts. it's the reason they all have jumper cables, most have a bag with gloves/pump/flares/triangles/blankets (some recent new additions to the Fleet, and they still need to be kitted out.) it's the reason the jeep has tow straps and I leave a shackle adapter in the hitch opening. it's the reason I upgraded my trauma kits and training after a major school bus accident not too far from me, and some kids died from bleeding out. you see what others do. you gleen nuggets of information, that might turn out to be worth more than gold at the Opportune Moment.

[@jonjohnson3027]

@@richellen6855although root cause analysis will often reveal deeper, sometimes systemic, problems that are very much not obvious. Like what if the transfer case suffered catastrophic failure due to contamination of the oil in the differential, and that contamination happened at the refinery due to improper maintenance of equipment because the millwright was having a bad day after his wife filed for divorce because he forgot to pay the cable bill so she missed a rerun of 'Friends'.

[@arthurr8670]

It does help they are a little easier to pre trip also.

[@imchris5000]

the hold your breath thing comes from early cars that produced way more carbon monoxide and tunnels did not have good ventilation

[@TheRealBanrun]

This along with apparently it being a superstition that if you can make it the entire tunnel holding your breath, you make a wish at the end of the tunnel and it'll come true. This was just a quick Google search, but I've done this since I was a child and I've always just associated it with exactly what you said.

[@jonathanbeck2113]

[@heltratt6363]

Your truck look more and more perfect ! Only the big fence left in the front now, and mayby a vinsch ofc ! 😉

[@ZootSuitCooter]

I'm a firefighter/1st responder, strobes are great for highway visibility BUT when you've got as many as 5 trucks on a scene all running strobes for an hour+ you'll get sick of them real quick. The idea is to have the option to isolate them front/rear so the strobes are only pointed at traffic. Of course it rarely works out that way but at least you have the option.

[@user-ln7of9gs4s]

The other problem, many emergency vehicles on divided highways have flashing lights warning the other direction, even though there is no hazard. Everyone slows down to rubber neck.

[@joelmurphy7980]

Strobes also have tendency to blind said oncoming traffic. There is such a thing as too bright, the current crop of ridiculous headlights included.

[@ZootSuitCooter]

@@joelmurphy7980 Twice we've had drivers at night "zone in" on the strobes and run right into the back of the truck. They're no doubt visible for a mile away but at the same time they're simply overkill.

[@JohnHallgren]

@@ZootSuitCooter A few weeks ago, on a very dark rural two lane straight road on Cape Cod, I saw in the distance that a PD cruiser had pulled over behind a vehicle on the opposing side. The overhead strobes were going, but were at a low intensity so that they were actually less blinding than some headlights. So I was able to clearly and safely know where to go to avoid him. There are been times where the strobe lights have been so blinding that I can’t see where I need to be, especially after having had cataract surgery.

[@richunger8806]

Its only a matter of time before those lights actually cause a worse accident or send a driver into an epileptic seizure then after the lawsuit they will own the police department and return to the gum drop lights, like in Mayberry

[@tinacooper5145]

As I was watching your video, I realize you were close to where we live. I wanted to write you a request and I don’t know if you will see it. My ex-husband was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer in his bones. We just recently went through chemo and he is stable, they say he can live anywhere from a year to seven. One thing he loves is your videos and watches it all the time and never misses one. He’s always talking about you and has got me hooked on your videos too. he has a collection of movie stars, and comedians such as Gallagher and other movie stars that he has collected autographs in his life. but one thing I know that would make him so happy is if he got to meet you if you were ever in the Springfield, Creswell or cottage Grove area, he would love to see you and get to meet you, just throwing it out there. God bless.

[@jamesbigham9036]

Good morning Casey you need a trailer like Ben has it would make hauling a lot more easier. Since he can unload a vehicle in under 5 minutes with two remotes one for the winch and one for the tilt trailer.

[@JohnSmith-lw2bm]

I towed an f-150 with a tow dolly. Went 25 miles, just left the engine running. Trans was fine. Towed because of broken tie rod, no steering.

[@imchris5000]

360 white work lights is more important than a strobe that blinds people

[@davidrece8872]

A broken transfer case was mentioned. This is usually cause by driving on hard surface while in FWD.

[@TaylorPugh]

For future reference, when you're pointing at the shifter at 0:20 , screen left of your finger is the shift lock release, it's the little white knob. Pull that and you can shift the truck regardless of if the key is on or not.
