Guys like you are keeping handywork alive w these vids man
Tow Driver recently towed our car w wheel lift. Cranked straps down so hard on tires that it pulled rubber down overlapping itself on sidewalls. Asked if he could transport without sidewall deformation. He said no. Since I'd never seen driver crank it down that hard before, knew that wasn't true. Nice guy, probably being extra cautious for hour plus tow. And I was going to be riding with, so didn't want static. Noticed you didn't crank it down that hard, zero to slight indentation is more common. Hadn't seen wheel lift in a while as flatbed standardly sent when tows have been needed. Just is, even though our cars are older. Flatbed already had vehicle on it so our car was towed on wheel lift behind that (like in your vid). Is this common? Also hadn't seen that before with a lifetime of our cars. Again, not throwing shade at other driver. Was thankful for tow. Just seeing what other pros think.
flatbeds became the standard because of the evolution of vehicles themselves and the flatbeds ability to "do it all". if we show up on scene and theres a problem that wasnt reported like a blown out tire, or more crash damage, etc... no problem. throw it on the bed and go. I will be critical of the crank method though, yes the straps should be tight enough to make a slight indent... but not so much that it looks like the tires have tumors. thats a recipe for rupture. even when its on the flatbed, its the same concept with the straps... and you never crank them to a potential failure point there either. you dont commonly see a flatbed towing two cars these days unless its to auction or the junkyard.. which is where I might have been going. (dont remember)... because towing is all about speed and efficiency these days.
A buddy of mine will tuck in the mirrors whenever possible. What is your thoughts on that practice @BigPinkTowTruck??
I knew another guy who used to do this when he towed traditional wheel lift. but he also insisted you couldnt tow a car backwards because of the mirrors.... he was a moron. I dont really see the necessity in tucking the mirrors. if you are that close to something to take a wing mirror off, its probably already hit the back end of your truck or the rest of the car in tow anyways.
How do I turn the emergency brake off?
if it is an electronic emergency brake, there is no hope but to have it towed if you cannot get power to it.
i’ll never buy another honda again
I don't know what kind of straps you're using but if you're just using round straps and you're going around that wheel you need to put that strap between that KIA in the wheel and your anchor point in the straightest line possible because if you do not that vehicle can rock move or slide and cause slack that's a just pysics now you may have those wheels locked but it's best practice from the point of rotation and the anchor needs to be spot where no slack can form it's like people that don't know to safety chain the car on the wheel lift to the wheel lift not on the chain buckets on the truck this is stuff I learned the hard way I haul cars for a self pick hard that get cought for junk and sometimes I do auction runs
You literally just saved me. Thank you so much 🙏🏽
Good job bro
The future doctors and engineers took the catalytic converter 🙏
Thanks saved my ass on a repo right now
Then what? Get a new battery? Or just reset software? Huh?
Thank you I’ve done the rams and 300 and 200s you saved me from dragging it with skates
Y no no 👎👎
Thank you mind is going 😊
I did it and it’s not working, can’t start the car
this tutorial was specifically how to get into the car with no power. anything after that, consult with a repair technician.
How do you determine your total weight when loaded.
thank you for the question my friend... most vehicles if not all have a weight rating somewhere either in the owners manual, or on a sticker in the door jamb between the pillar and the door on the drivers side. this is known as curb weight. This next part might be complicated: Subtract the vehicle's payload capacity from the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). The GVWR is usually listed on the driver's side door or in the vehicle's manual. The payload capacity is the weight of passengers and cargo that the vehicle can carry. It may be printed on the tire specification label in the driver's door jamb area. The GVWR on a light duty tow truck like pinky (to the best of my knowledge and memory) is generally between 8 thousand and 11 thousand lbs. So as long as you are using common sense, meaning not towing a box truck with a lower class tow truck... or trying to haul more than 5 thousand lbs combined, you will be fine. Most sedans like the white car in this video weigh about 3 thousand lbs... a truck is about 5 thousand maybe? so the class of two truck I am using here fits that weight just fine.
@Bigpinktowtruck ok so say a coworker came in with 13k on the bed and a small car on a wheel lift. And the truck hauling all this had a gvwr of 22,940 and weigh 11,500. Am I wrong or is he weigh over weight.
@@allenszykula8071 so combined the load weight and the towing weight is roughly 16k lbs give or take... techincally.... this is okay. is it dangerous? could be. is it wrong? technically probably not... but you would be best consulting with wreckmaster or DOT. the common rule i was always told in training was that light duty class tow trucks are no different than a Uhaul with a car in tow. If its under the weight limit before requiring a CDL, then its okay. So really it comes down to deciding whether the operator is okay with such a weight. As stated in this video, we do things according to how we were trained in the first place... so everyones opinion is different.
@Bigpinktowtruck just checked this looks like you didn't add in the flatbed weight of 11,500.which I think puts total weight at 27,500. And I maybe wrong but isn't the general rule to stay at our below the registered gvwr which in this case would be the 22,940.
People making these type of videos really are amazing.
What was the reason it wouldn’t start my is doing the same thing
Tye reason of Neutral is almost you can move away your car pushing it
Thanks
When I tell you. You came thur!!!! I appreciate the video 🎉

Hello, friend, I have a 2021 Chevrolet Express pasalock light ON and it does not go away after 3 cycles of 30 minutes, I also left it for 20 minutes the first cycle, the second test and the light does not go away or the vehicle starts. Can you help me with that? Do you know what could be happening?

Thank you
Thank you so much :)
What if you don't have the lock symbol
I’m new too towing and love this video thank you so much
The push-pull button shifter is a ridiculous idea, and I would never purchase any vehicle with a setup like this. Glad that GM finally saw the absurdity of it too and is eliminating it from their vehicles for 2025. However it's replacement, which is a level on the steering column, looks like an electric-shift interface-setup also. I can only hope GM figured out a better method to get their vehicles into neutral for pushing/towing purposes if disabled and not running and especially if the battery is depleted.
So do one on your personal PPE. Maybe HEAVY on the reflective. Have towed all my life , from chains for 60 miles in High School and before that on the farm , remember my first trailer , I could not afford an ice cream cone at the time , then better trailer , then upgraded all on a broke dick non existential budget and now I have 2 rollbacks. Only took almost 50 years.
How do you tow rear wheel drive car? Remove drift shaft?
I have a 2018 XF and the cable does not release anything, I think it has disconnected and does not release the gear shift nob. Is it easy to replace that cable mechanism?
$100k? Ummmm
Thank you big brother
You put the car on neutral when put it on wheel lift?
Thank you so much, the car just stopped while picking up my little sister from school and it’s her birthday you the best dude😎
What if you have a push start
Thank you!
So you don’t need to pop the hood? Have a 2023 Mustang-e rental and trying to sort it out.
If its not set up like the one this video, I am not sure what to tell you. Other than if a rental company finds out you did roadside/emergency service yourself.. you may be in for legal/financial troubles. Any time something goes wrong with a rental, call the company immediately. Most of them are contracted with professional roadside service companies and towing operators.
Thank you mate that is helpful
ф😅
Clear, simple and straight to the point. thank you sir
thank youuu
why didn't u cross ur safety chains ?
The older Rams with the lever also have a problem with getting stuck in park. I snapped mine off and had to replace it once so far.
est tu pret a vendre je suis acheteur combien
I heard never back with a car on wheel lift
I'm not sure what you are trying to say...
Thank you!!!!!
But do what 3 times? Thats where im lost
sit and wait for it to do what it needs to do… basically turn the key to the aux position, wait until that first screen you see disappears… then repeat 2 more times.
