1. Do you have a dedicated Mechanic ?
2. cool, maybe a little jealous..
3. Are you still thinking about moving to the dodges or will the new 6.7 Ford keep you with them? Over 900 ft lbs tq
4. 4:46 that electric box brings back memory's idk if we still have it but my father had one just like that.
5. do them guys that drive them service trucks need a hazmat license being they haul over 100 gallons of fuel?
6. Thanks man had to watch again... Would you advise someone to go with the big one with a cat then?
7. You can never have too many tools or spare parts. I'm no mechanic but seem to get all the diagnosing and repairing work so I spent a lot of $$$ to set my private vehicle up with tools to get me by.
8. How come you guys don't get the dodge 5500s with the 6 speeds?
9. Cost big money to keep to big trucks like that, but they are worth their weight in gold when you have a break down and don't have to call out a mechanic with a truck. I am sure they have paid for themselves many times over. Nice trucks, set up real well. Take care my friend.....Darryl, AML.
10. The 550 needs new boots. Did you get a new one yet? I just joined and have not had time to watch all the videos.
11. these are what i need for my job, the boss man sees no need for a mechanic to carry all the tools he might need. so ill just buy my own.
12. Get yourself a 1/4 inch hydraulic hose with a jic #4 end on it, try to get atleast 80 ft or more in length! best chase line I have ever used! I work for Pirtek, so I replace hoses all day long brother!
13. We have an old Puma air compressor on our old Morbark chipper... runs like a champ. The new Morbark came with a sailor bell...won't run worth beans. Gotta love the Puma
14. Hey man thanks a ton for sharing we've been thinking about the exact same setup!!! Two questions can the crimper do the 4 wire hoses on the 3/4" and up and also do the 2 wire hoses on 5/8 and down... Also I've wondering about a crane for ever when we go to one and your convinced that crane 100% yes then? When your a ways from home do you leave the big trucks on the job and commute with little trucks or drive the big boys back and forth too?
15. Nice trucks. I priced a Dodge 4500 with the IMT bed, with 5,000 lb. IMT crane, and hydraulic air compressor for a job. $110,000. Client about fainted when I gave him the quote. I like the tackle box for the electrical connectors. We started using the individual removable tackle boxes you get from Walmart about 15 years ago for those small electrical items, o rings, small screws and fuses. You just take out the one you need for the job. They are also sealed to keep dust out of them, but I know logging jobs don't have those dust issues.
16. That hose crimper is super handy. I'm sure they have paid for them selfs over and over again. We just blew a hose on the dump trailer today probably took us 45mins to get it fixed because we had to run into town to get a new one made up.
    That crane has to be a back saver too.
17. Wow, whats that orange, plastic thing in the 550 that say "harskavarna' on it? What a production killer! Your right to keep that one hidden. <(;-)   Great set up. I'm a mechanic and have no idea how you maintain that equipment as well as you do. The pounding it takes, seems like there would be breakage every day. Long hours and hard work I guess. Hats off to you and your crew.Thanks for the window into your world. Stay safe.
18. Thats really interesting and seems real logical setups, Love the crane, welder and gas arrangements. Where did you manage to find a double sided lockable box like that for electrical connections? - super idea and so handy! How do you cut hydraulic hose for crimping - angle grinder with thin cutting blade?
19. costs lots of money to keep those trucks on the road, but equipment down time can kill you...
20. So why do you plan to go with the dodge service trucks next time?
