Towing Cement Truck with the Quick swap - Overweight??

[@markmoore8180]

You are just one cool dud love your vids mate keep them coming big man .

[@HighwayHeavyHooker]

Thanks brother. I appreciate it

[@evanpardy782]

We put all the drive shafts back in. Which is weird but ya we do out here. Back in Manitoba we didn’t

[@HighwayHeavyHooker]

For liability, I’d rather the preferred shop or tech do that. Don’t want to hear about a driveshaft issue 2 months later and they say I installed it but fail to mention the clutch dump fully loaded😂

[@evanpardy782]

@@HighwayHeavyHooker oh ya man your 100% right. I found it weird when I moved out here. But know I can put a shaft back in within about three mins lol.

[@HighwayHeavyHooker]

@@evanpardy782 lol oh for sure

[@Ronkosluk]

Nice piece of driving sir! April fools or not, that was funny as shit.....LMAO

[@HighwayHeavyHooker]

Lmao😅

[@donnierobertson3088]

Great job and video like always

[@johnbourgeois1414]

Good job, stay safe out there

[@BAMCIS13450703]

Friendly tip bud instead of the big hammer on the ears of the shaft like you were doing get you a mini and smack the bearing caps about 3 times each and they’ll come right out

[@HighwayHeavyHooker]

Greatly appreciate it! I’ll definitely give that a shot when time comes. Thanks🍻

[@BAMCIS13450703]

No problem it’s just like a winch out ya go where it’s stuck either the bearing caps or the small 3/8 ones if it’s really stuck hit the rear end yoke it’ll break free all the rust and stuck grease and crud

@@BAMCIS13450703 10-4 brother, thank you

[@BLKLSTDgaming]

If I remember collectly you be able to drive around that unit

[@HighwayHeavyHooker]

Yup I drove around but they had cars and trucks parked along the building with a very narrow dirt road and a 5-8’ drop to a ravine on the other side lol was fun to get out of there especially by the dealership packed with cars😳😳

[@dhenschel4]

You had to disconnect the driveshaft to complete the towing? How many guys would do that? You should be making good money at this, I am sure the owner is as a charge for this would be....$2k - $2.5k is my guess.

[@jaygraham5407]

Everyone that tows should drop driveshaft or pull axle shafts

[@newyorkcitymilkman6358]

Great video Be safe

[@Javierdelossantos05]

Why you need to disconect the shaft when you towing a truck? Good video

[@devintrudeau6351]

Because the driveline is connected to the back of the transmission, A it puts strain on the gears and B since the engine isn’t running the transmission fluid isn’t being dispersed evenly or in the proper amount causing the gears to run almost as if it was dry do to the excess friction boiling off the fluid and causing severe wear to the transmission internals

[@HighwayHeavyHooker]

Thanks for the reply👍

[@nickkirkham1363]

I hate dropping at that shop!!!

[@jaygraham5407]

Looks like a disaster

[@babbscirclemoto8364]

What is your wheelbase on the quickswap. Was the cement truck loaded

[@HighwayHeavyHooker]

315” and no it was empty

[@Bryan-FAA-certified]

My DTU Freightliner is about 325 wb. I'd be really nervous about towing a cement truck like that.😮

[@bradwhite9503]

would pulling axels work ?

[@HighwayHeavyHooker]

Definitely an option

[@badgertow1375]

Axles are quicker than drive~shafts , Stay Safe & All The Be$t ☆☆☆¿

[@drewmurphy2796]

Can the tow unit come off the truck? Or is it more of a permanent attachment?

[@HighwayHeavyHooker]

Yes it is removable. “Quick swap” meaning it can quickly be swapped on and off. Thanks for watching!

[@drewmurphy2796]

@@HighwayHeavyHooker can you tow things like a loaded dump truck or need a actual wrecker for that?

Accumulated sleep deprivation, affects the blood sugar levels of your pancreas, making it impossible nearly to lose weight, been there done that.

If you've ever wondered how it's possible to lose a concrete mixer full of hardened concrete, here's your answer

[@HighwayHeavyHooker]

Mixer was empty 🥴

[@chax2004]

9 cars out of 10 dont mind waiting for trucks blocking traffic. And if they do F em. Without trucks they wouldnt have a house to live or food to eat or a car to drive. That's why I NEVER worry bout blocking traffic if need be.

[@HighwayHeavyHooker]

Amen to that👍
