Dielectric grease in the plow electric connections after every storm.

[@CarsonSchifsky]

Hey thanks for adding that! I totally forgot, we don't usually do it every storm but we do keep an eye on it and just use our best judgment!

[@andrewstratton7095]

I just do it every storm just because of all the salt and water that splashes onto the connectors

[@CarsonSchifsky]

Probably not a bad idea, grease is cheaper then new wiring harness parts!

[@MrBudpln]

Dielectric grease every storm? Nah..

[@macclark4112]

Dielectric grease in the electric plugin once a year when I put in storage. All it takes in Montana because no salt is used. Plus the O-Rings on the SnowDogg are more then enough to prevent leakage.

Great video, nice to see people who want to take care of equipment, I put old fire hose over my hydraulic hoses to protect them from wear and sunlight. I also put a tarp over the plow in the summer during storage to keep it from UV damage.

[@larryselfridge6733]

In the spring I wash and clean the plow and paint the cutting edge. Then fluid film the entire plow.

[@rogerthat6221]

There’s a product called fluid film that will shock you at the anti-corrosive properties that it carries.

More great content, keep it up!

[@CarsonSchifsky]

Thanks! Love the support.

[@r-wheelz7691]

I do like the the way you don't have to hold the handle smart!!

[@CarsonSchifsky]

Yes way better and easier!

[@dirt3964]

heat will eliminate moister as rust is caused from corrosive chemicals and the delusion with water will slow rust down on raw metal. Adding silicone or lithium grease once product is dry will keep rust down. Basic science is acid are corrosive and oils are base alkaline. Water is neutral as long as the PH neutral. Your tips helpful and product endorsement spot on. Legacy

[@anthonysanchez3741]

Do you have a link to where I could buy that grease needle adapter trying to find one

[@SledgeHammer43]

I waxed my plow with McGuire's to keep the snow from sticking, after every wash.

[@franciscoramos9692]

What if the pavement has a lift , couldn’t it damage the shoe.

[@DS-TRUCKS]

very good vid

[@froggey5689]

How do you adjust the center plow shoe? It is sorta enclosed… not easily accessible like the sides are.

[@CarsonSchifsky]

If there's something else you guys do to help make your equipment last longer please let us know!

[@tannernelson8059]

Carson Schifsky where did you get that smaller boss controller very convenient I might need to get one

[@jippys1]

I like the v-blade plows but i don't know how to now get a line between the two halfs of the plow. Maybe you can do a video on it

[@CarsonSchifsky]

Like how it leaves a line of snow? I guess we haven’t really experienced that

[@JohnC-zm2qo]

@@CarsonSchifsky Id also love to see a video on that issue of the snail trail & how to get rid of that. Great video BTW,, just subscribed. Any snow plow & salter maintenance, repair, diagnosing issues etc, these videos are always appreciated by everyone in the industry Im sure.

[@treadlightlyservicesllc.1930]

Where did you get that controller without the handle?? I want one!

[@pdub8501]

Preventative maintenance is key 💪 long life to our enormous investment money makers 😎

[@bkfacebook0200]

Good video bro

[@CarsonSchifsky]

Thank you!

[@chachifeere]

I’ve been spray Klen flo honey goo or fluid film on all my plows/salters , Also around my rocker panels on the trucks.

[@CarsonSchifsky]

Yep fluid film all the way we do that every year

[@joegaudes9277]

Smart guy

[@Nick-gi6ym]

Be careful with high pressure washers on the undercarriage of the trucks use low pressure. Reason rust will start your undercarriage really fast. Looks like the Boss frame sits low. Fisher & Meyer truck frames sits a lot higher. Check out fisher stainless steel v plows. You have a great channel. Peace

[@CarsonSchifsky]

Thanks nick really appreciate the input, ideas and support!

[@derekcomingo2197]

i use di electric grease in the fittings

[@lapointe122]

[@CarsonSchifsky]

Good to know Sam Definitely something I’m going to take a look at

[@lapointe122]
