We Drag That Dead Truck Up A Mountain

So I got for a dead Nissan Frontier at the bottom of a mountain. Plus a Toyota Sienna stuck on the hot beaches of Sand Hollow.

Matt is a generous men, he didn't change anything to the guy on the Nissan. My respects to you Sir... Help person when he's down.

Maybe he figured with the roll back fee he could comp the ORR and not lose any money? Really nice of Matt to do that. He does practice the golden rule!

[@erichusmann5145]

@@jcrefasi1 That's kind of what I was thinking. Charge only for the rollback to get him to civilization, rather than charging twice (once for the pullout, once for the tow). He'd still be out a bit (operating the ORR does cost)--but the tradeoff is goodwill and you still get the video (which can make some money, though not a lot). Oh, and possibly slightly simpler accounting (why two charges to the same person for the same vehicle?, ask the card companies).

[@jcrefasi1]

@@erichusmann5145 don't underestimate what YT pays creators based on number of subs and views and advertisement rev. It is a considerable amt. I saw a video by a furniture painter/flipper and she has way less subs than MORR and less comments on her vids and she claims she received a check from YT for several thousand dollars for 1 month at 1 video per week. Sometimes a second one but not every week. No way to verify it but to tell her followers in a video YT could monitor, I'd guess it was the truth. They also have a revenue stream from MORR merchandise. Not saying they don't earn every penny but just don't underestimate YT revenue😁

[@ThisTall]

@@jcrefasi1 sure, but you shouldn’t underestimate what it costs to do this. They often have 2-4 vehicles with up to 8 people he brings along.

It's a good way to handle any job, really. I meet too many people who chose their job completely of their own free will and make a big fuss every time they have to put in more than a little effort.

This probably doesn't apply to corporate wage slaves of course where the company is indifferent and the work is arguably pointless.

@@gaelgarcia6662 I thought the same thing, whack the bottom of the tank with a rubber mallet. Happens on GM products too, the motor stops on a small scorched spot of the commutator. But the guy saying he "put a gallon of gas in it" leads me to believe it's probably mostly empty.

[@denniswatkins4666]

Learned a long time ago that fuel injected vehicles don’t like to prime from an empty tank on one gallon of fuel. Better make it at least 5 to start with.

[@ke6gwf]

You should put signs out at the major intersections saying "Matt's Off-road Recovery Landmark 23" and the road name or common name. Then people can just tell you that they are past a particular sign, plus they know who to call! Make the signs pretty and reflective so people naturally notice them.

I once helped a guy with a broken pump out. I filled the windscreen washer bottle with fuel and routed the pipe to the carb! Helped him to get to town!

I'm yellow with envy. You guys have such a enviable job. Helpin folks. Every day is a new, unique and challenging adventure. You get to wonder off into the back country mountains and beautiful desert. You have happy lives and it shows. Keep up the good work. I hope that you find success and happiness for all your days. I love the sugar faced dog. Reminds me of my old boy. The way that they had their paws over the backseat was picture frame worthy. That inline 6 was made for doing exactly what you were doing. It has great torque right at the sweet spot. I'm just gonna have to come out there and get stuck somewhere so I can shake your hands and show you appreciative I am of your videos. Lol j/k

[@alltaira5922]

I truly appreciate that you didn't charge the one gentleman. When I moved from PA to CO, on the drive out to CO, my fuel pump died on me. I had to pay a huge towing bill then a ton for the fuel pump, and that was just a simple road side tow. Every little bit helps.

[@MichaelMiller-rg6or]

You guys are class acts, comping his bill! Keep up the good work!

[@TheDivegeek]

I think Matt's thinking there was that they're going to bill him for replacing the fuel pump, which is going to be a big shop bill. So Matt will make his money there instead of for the tow.

[@skeetermcswagger0U812]

I've had customers simular to this before..... I don't think we know the whole story. Someone like that will question and hound you the whole time because they don't really put 2 and 2 together to figure out the reality of their situation before they get in a bad bind. I bet Matt had to deal with a lot more then he wanted to show on video and either felt like doing the guy a favor or just wanted to not deal with the guy anymore. I could be completely wrong though.

[@JohnSmith-pl2bk]

@@skeetermcswagger0U812 I got interesting vibes like that, too. Only a gallon in the tank on top of ?... maybe ran out of pump fuel pickup when trying to go uphill?

@@jasonstrout4502 checked it out, thanks for the info. Very interesting. Still hope MORR addresses the issue to the viewers....and internally. Matt has Come too far to let someone with their own agenda ruin things for him. The personalities are what grew the channel to what it is today. One of those is gone and the ‘show’ is worst off for it. The ‘new’ cameraman has a long way to go before filling those shoes, and he has started out on the wrong foot.

Always bang on the bottom of the fuel tank, sometimes that will get pump working again.

[@pppaybackkk]

You have to be turning the engine over at the same time. Just whacking the tank doesn't do it. It needs to be trying to pump. What I mean is, you can't do it by yourself because the pump shuts down too quickly after trying to prime. You could if you hotwire the relay, but most people wouldn't know how.

[@sw6188]

Helps if there is sufficient gas in the tank as well. Judging by the comment "I put a gallon in" it suggests he was out of gas, and putting a gallon in wouldn't have got it anywhere near the pump.
