Thanks for your comment. These battery charges will not make a 6-year-old battery new again. The battery has been good enough to operate the 12-volt hitch jack and the lights inside my enclosed car trailer over the last few weeks.

I have used this charger from H F for over 15 years being in the car business 38 years, it has done wonders many times. I just bought my second one a year ago. I loaned my old one out and they never brought it back.

Thanks for your comment! My problem is I loan something out and forget who I loaned it to.

I took much better care than the local tire shop would have.

@@mickeyj4228 - Cant argue that too much!

It is very frustrating!

Thank you for your comment! You got a great deal. Harbor freight sells the clamps for $9.99. At the top of page 10 in the instruction manual it shows the 2 holes on the plate are used with the Milwaukee band saws.

@@mickeyj4228 Ok, I didn't see that, they make the plates for many saws.

@@plap. thanks for your comment! I didn't know that.

@@scott699 Amazon. There are links in the description of this video. Let me know if you can't locate it.

@scott699 Thank you for your comment, Scott! Feel free to reach out with any questions or for any assistance.

You should be fine. The top of the lift runways are about 4.5 inches off the deck. Please keep in touch and let me know if I can answer any other questions.

If you're still on the fence, today is the last day of the free air bridge jack. A $2k value. It has no problem lifting my Ram 2500.

@ralphdoak990 The lift is built just like the 9000XLT but bigger and stronger. IIRC, it weighs 500 lbs more. The lack of ALI did not bother me at all. This lift is over-built and the quality is very obvious. It's not a complicated design.

@@ForestGerstner thank you for your kind words!

You're welcome! Thank you for your comment.

Thanks for your comment! You're right and not the only person that asked for a better demonstration. I posted a video on 30 April 2024 removing and mounting a 17" low profile tire. I had my son make the video using my phone and tried to provide the details. The tire changer is now bolted to my garage floor which makes it much easier to use.

What's the issue with the slobber tube? The side of my oil pan has caked on oil, but I've never cleaned it and I have never seen oils spray anywhere. Buy the strap oil filter wrench I listed in the description. I would suggest sending off an oil analysis to Blackstone labs to get a baseline on your first oil change. Please feel free to reach out if I can help you in any way.

@@mickeyj4228 for my RV not yours I have a rear radiator and need to do something about my slobber tube before the radiator gets clogged up with oil and dirt.

Thanks for your comment! They added a rubber protector where the wheel rests for bead breaking as well as a rubber pad to go under the wheel hold down spacer. The hold down spacer was also redesigned to be flat. The old style is a + shape welded to a round tube. The pin to keep the wheel from spinning is now a drop in on mine. I hope this makes sense.

Here's some of my reasons. The cost here to mount 4 tires is $130. I've saved over $1K in mounting alone doing about 36 tires now. Tires are MUCH cheaper on Amazon with free delivery. It's a PIA taking my trailers to the tire shop. It's actually much faster when you consider the drive to the tire shop and the wait. The satisfaction of doing a job myself, on my schedule, instead of being dependent on others. If I did more tires, I would buy a Mayflower tire machine and balancer.

$25-$50 a tire is good enough reason for me!

Yes sir! I agree!

Saving £10 A Tyre 😂❤👍

@lynjames4306 and the most important savings is time. Thanks for watching.

The return is low pressure. As you can tell from the mess, it was the high pressure that let go. Blessed that it happened at home.

Thank you for your comment. I use Counteract balance beads in my Ram 2500 and my motorhome. They are not recommended for low-profile tires.

​@mickeyj4228 yep. This. Thanks for the vids.

I am glad that you found it helpful. Are you about to tackle this job?

@@mickeyj4228 I have a 1994 Winnie Vectra on a Oshkosh bus Chassis. The rusty steel line split right near a connect when I pulled it out of RV shed. So glad it happened in the driveway, like your situation. The bottom is open on mine, but the connection is partially blocked by the potable water tank. If connect was 1' toward the motor it would have been in the clear. Looks like line is steel to motor. I am a hobby mechanic but may pay a mobile mechanic to solve this one. Getting rusty connection off in an backward place is going to be a challenge. Might be easier to run the entire length new like you did.

@stevestarrett8754 running a new line is the way to go. IMO, 50/50 ATF and acetone is the best penetrant for rusty connection. You got this.

I'm sure your Leto will be fine. From my research, I must have gotten a lemon. The C&H app has a schedule function. I have it set to turn on for 2 hours, three times a week to exercise the unit since I don't use the garage every day.

Thanks for your comment. My RV slab is not level. It's off almost an inch the length of the lift. The cables can be adjusted at the top of each post and at the cable block under the runway. It's very easy. I raise the lift until the top of highest lock is level with the bottom of the lock cut out on the post, I then measure the other 3 locks. Next, I lower the lift onto the locks to take the weight of the cables and adjust each cable the length I measured. I hope this helps. I believe Advantage has a video on adjusting the cables.

The duckbill is nylon . It has not damaged any rim that I've used it on

@@mickeyj4228 Not that part. It's all the metal tools you used.

On rims you are really concerned about place a micro-fiber cloth on the rim under the tool. Local tire stores here are charging $130.00 to mount 4 tires. Are they going to be more careful not to scratch your wheels than you would be?

Thanks for your comment. We are better prepared than most. In our 30+ years living here, we have seen a few of these storms for sure.

Luckily, we had no damage or flooding from Milton!

Thank you for your comment! They have become more popular in US households as well.

@@mickeyj4228 yeah they are good machines, in the uk this machine is branded as Hotpoint

The ISC is a 8.3 big block, 350 hp and 1050 lbs torque. I tow a 2018 RAM 2500 that weighs 8300 lbs and a Dodge Dakota that weighs about 5000. They both tow the same.

It's a great engine!

@kendalgee5808 Thanks for the comment. The duckbill does make contact with the rim. It is nylon and I've noticed no scratches from it.

@@mickeyj4228 Then there was no need for it. The only advantage ic is it is made out of Nylon, so perhaps that will prevent scratches. So maybe its be worth it. Eventually I will make a youtube video titled " Do you need a duckbill adapter " and show I can install a tire in 1 minute using the HF manual tire changer, tire bead paste, a Dewalt wood clamp, and the HF bar that came with the tire changer.

The duckbill at $20 was worth it for me. For years, I've driven on the tire or used a bumper jack to break the bead and discounted and mounted them with tire irons. Do I need the duckbill? No, but it works great for me.

You can set it up to not make contact with the rim. It definitely will not damage rims or tires that you would with just a tire iron.

Thank you for taking the time to comment!

Thanks for your comment. I used the machine to break the bead on the 17 inch tire in this video, the 33" tires on 20" wheels on my Ram 2500 and over 30 other tires. I did have to reenforce the bead breaker. The secret is using soapy water on the bead. Do you own one of these tire changers?

Thank you for your comment! FYI, there is an Advantage Lifts owners support group on Facebook. Not many complaints to be found there. Are you buying the 9000HD due to its compact size? I have the 240V motor on my SS-11000-WD which may be faster that the 115V. I agree that the air bridge jack is the only way to go. It lifts my RAM 2500 Cummins diesel with ease. I agree that the price point is fair. I stepped up to the SS-11000-WD because I had the space and since this is an item I will only buy once, the cost difference was within my budget.

$89.00 on sale with the coupon, but you're mot wrong. Inflation is real.

@SEEMORE45 I installed it myself. The warranty is only valid if installed by a certified HVAC tech that will put ther name and license number on the warranty paperwork. HVAC Installers charge more than these units cost on Amazon.

@Madmaxd it's really pretty simple. If you need to watch start to finish check out the video of mounting my son's low profile 17 inch tires. I made that video because of comments like this one. Hope it helps.

Thank you for your comment! It requires 20 amps. The motor comes with a 6 ft or so long 3 wire with no plug. I added a standard 240V welder plug, NEMA-6-30P/6-50P. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

@@mickeyj4228 thanks a lot for the info . I’m excited to get mine it’s estimated pick up time is the 20th if September.

Have you viewed the Advantage lifts assembly play list? Shoot me an email to llrtgarage@gmail.com if you need the link to the youtube play list or just want to chat. You will love your new lift! Mickey

@@mickeyj4228 yes I have watched them all like 5 times each lol thank u

@brandonmortensen8208 I did the same. I had the entire Playlist memorized. Where are you picking up your lift?

Thank you for your comment! I'm glad this video helped. Take note or better yet take a picture of how the belt is routed on the tensioner.

Thanks for your comment! I'm not sure of my front axle weight. My truck empty going over the scales at the local dump is 8340# with me and 3/4 tank of fuel. Both the air bridge jack and the jack tray are rated at 4500#. I believe this is conservative for legal reasons. In my opinion the jack tray would easily support your truck. You could lift your truck using the jack using an air bag jack or bottle jack and support the truck with jack stands. I also believe the air bridge jack, with a high-volume air compressor would lift it as well. At the request of a viewer, I made a 5-minute video posted on my channel titled "Will the Advantage Lifts Rolling Air bridge Jack lift a 2500 RAM with the Cummins Diesel?" in which I show the jack lifting my truck and discuss my air setup.

:)

@stratoslice Thanks for your comment! There is no movement. I've needed to use a ladder to climb into my 2500 RAM while it was lifted. Zero movement.

@@mickeyj4228 thank you!

You're most welcome.

Thank you for your comment! Rexall made a great motorhome! Yes, the Fleetguard LF9009 is a direct replacement for the Donaldson P553000. Yes, synthetic blends such as Delo 400, Mobile Delvac 1300, Shell Rotella T5, or any oil with the API classification of CK-4 meets the Cummins requirement. All 3 are great oils. Feel free to reach out if I can assist with anything else.

@@mickeyj4228 thank you so much, I own a park model no engine haha and a Fleetwood gas engine so this is my first time owning a diesel. Infact is so my first time. I put 275$ worth of diesel and then the next week I topped it off earth 50 gallons of gas 🤦‍♀️😫. 835 tow bill right from the pump. Anyway thank you for you’re video I’m saving that $600 from camping world right the road and trying to do this myself. Just figured out the mode shifter thing and diagnosing the fuel levels. 7 quarts low in the Allison transmission 🤦‍♀️it said . Just bought this rig so finding out a few things. Haha

So, you learned how to check the transmission fluid level using the shift up and down arrows? That's great, just make sure the transmission is at operating temperature when checking. You'll never want to go back to a gas motorhome. Fixing the power steering hose has probably been my biggest job in 15 years of ownership.

@@mickeyj4228ok hi my friend. So I dropped another gallon of ATF in it got it up to temperature and then did the calculations- the shifter maybe out of calibration idk but it still said 4 quarts low. Like it said first. Anyway dipstick don’t lie, check it running way below the add hot mark - checked it not running but 170+ degrees and it read add hot ? I’m I doing this right? So I’ve added 7 total quarts so far. Still says add hot 🤦‍♀️ looks like this Allison was bone dry!

It must have been very low. Go by the dipstick with the transmission at operating temp I just double checked a post I made when I changed the 2 transmission filters and upgraded to the Allison Transynd Fluid. I actually called Allison with my serial number to verify the filter kit part # and asked about capacity. The tech told me refill "by the book" is 17 qts. Some will be full at 16 and some may take 18gts. I put in 4 gallons, drove it until transmission was at operating temperature. Checked it and added one quart and it was full on the dipstick. On my next trip when stopped at a rest area I checked it with the control panel, and it was "OK"

NVM I guess you did... Sorry bout that

Thank you for your comment! I'm always looking for tips!

@@jesses1589 I do like the Cooper and Hunter app better. Thanks for your comment.

@@mickeyj4228 Thanks for sharing your experience too! I connected to Alexa, going no further app wise.Stay Cool!

The fill is still H2O. I just did a lawnmower carb. Put carb in a wide mouth jar with gasoline. I came out perfect.

Thanks for your comment. The 240V motor has a 6 foot or so 3 wire with no plug. I added the standard 6-50P welder plug. Have you ordered your lift yet?

@@mickeyj4228 I'm still saving up for it. I have the money to purchase the dx 9000 xlt, but after watching your videos, I've decided to spend the extra few hundred dollars for the 11000-wd. Since this will be a once in a lifetime purchase.

@wnicorn6702 that was my thought.

@@mickeyj4228 is the receptacle connected to a 50 amp breaker? That's what my 6-50r is hooked up to. I'm not an electrician and don't want to burn down my shop lol.

@wnicorn6702 you'll be fine. The motor is only energized when you push the lift button. There is no chance of" burning down your shop", provided your outlet is wired correctly.

@stevenewsam6698 I think the 9000XLT would be fine. The 9000XLT gives the option of moving one runway to outer holes to make it wider. I bought the SS-11000-WD just in case I needed to lift a dually, and the cost was just slightly more.

@@mickeyj4228 Thanks for the reply. A big difference, I think is the 115 volt motor on the 9000xlt vs the 230 volt motor on the ss11000. I’m looking at the BendPak vs the Advantage. BendPak offers 115 or 230 on their 9000 pound lift but Advantage does not from what I see. A 115 volt motor lifting the Cummins is a concern.

The 115 V motor will have no issues lifting the 2500 RAM with the Cummins. The 240V motor appears to be slightly faster in lifting. These lifts are "over built". My OCD was torn between the 9000XLT and the ss-11000-wd and decided on the 11K to "future proof" since this was a onetime purchase for me. I would have no concerns with the 9000XLT with the 115V motor.

@@mickeyj4228 Thanks. What did Advantage recommend for a breaker for your lift? I have a 40 amp welder receptacle in my shop.

The 240V motor recommends a 20 amp. It comes with a 6 ft or so wire with no plug. I installed the standard 3 prong male welder plug. It will be fine on your standard 240Vwelder receptacle. I actually use my lift with a welder plug to a RV 50 amp plug adapter. Have you decided on the ss-11000-wd?

@jrfan592 Thank you for your comment. I've never had any issues with it leaking. Is your leaking from the fitting?

@@mickeyj4228I think it’s leaking from where the hose connects to the fitting at the bottom, if not there then possibly the drain on the bottom. I need a new hose for it either way.

​@jrfan592 maybe try adding a second clamp.

@@mickeyj4228 it had two fitting on it but I figured out the problem, it was the drain plug on the bottom. It was cockeyed af hahaha. I’m gonna make a video showing it in a bit.

@@jrfan592 I'll check out your video.

Thanks for the comment. I wish, lol. That would have been handy when I replaced the 40 ft long power steering hose.

@SolarArrdvark13 thanks for your comment. It comes with 4 plastic drip trays. The jack is a rolling bridge jack so you could slide it back between the rear end and the transmission. The bridge jack tray also has a drain bolt. I hope I answered your question?

Do you think it's worth it to get a pair of these jacks? I know two would make tire rotations extremely easy, but just wondering if it's a justifiable expense. Thanks for the great videos.

Thank you for your comment! The Advantage ss-11000-wd has been perfect. I highly recommend it.

@daypayton123 Thank you for your comment. I like it better than the $900 Pioneer I put in the wife's truck. Still amazed at the cost.
