Why didn't you pick me up in this on the last date we went on cam?! 😢
Peg you don’t want to be picked up in that shipping crate, gotta take out the mill and stuff it in an old ferd
steal the turb off her peg
My service truck now is a 91 ferd ex sheriff ambulance with 7.3idi straight piped shes a sweetheart
No back seat for struggle snuggles.
We need a peg / cam video.
Man you guys have been killing it with the uploads
I last wrenched out of a tiny Nissan S-body in '98.
Magnetic trays had just come out,so for fun I left them up top or on the side..was constantly flagged down that I had tools about to fall off.
That year primary service was 20 irrigation pivots with dt366 engines over a 60 mile spread.
But have installed fence from '04-19 all with shallow single tired rigs.
Never had the depth for drawers ,but...
Always had most used tools/parts on driverside, even parked wrong way beside the road.
Several items they all had minimum of a 5 gallon bucket of water in the bed,with a gravity hose and valve for cleaning my hands.
Next was wypalls/scrubs in a bucket.
Irrigation pumps were in a welded frame,and only about 10 inches off the ground.
So I had a welding shop (was 20 and hadn't learned to weld back then) build a custom aluminum drain pan to hold oil.
Hooked a 20 ft garden hose to a 12v marine bilge pump to pump the oil into a drum in the truck.
For fencing I used it to drain ditches/entire city lots/and coredrill concrete from ponds occasionally.
I still have all 3 available and use them from daily (wipes),jug of water now,and 2 bilge pumps 500gph and a 3500.
A 3500 pump with a 9ahr m18 (yes I said 18 volt),will drain the battery and an IBC 330 gallon tote in 5 minutes.
Amazon has small pump for $15,and 3500 for $50 if you shop warehouse returns.
Pumps and wipes have only went up from $10-15,which is only 50% from inflation......
Have always envied you guys with deep bodies ,and your drawers!
Good to see a new Cam vid (on his own). Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉
Good stuff ! Back in my dealership days i ran a dodge 5500, i liked it. You the man Cam, keep killing it out there !
Sharp Truck. Thanks for the tour, Cam.
Great video guys, you should make the next one with Cam upgrading its new truck !
Cam, awesome truck. Man I am so excited when you guys put more video's out. Cam a generator mechanic for our Utility Company. Anyway, hope you like the RAM. I have a2016 f550, we have switched to all RAMS. I' m.a.little envious of the snow though. Keep.up the good work, and continuing to make me laugh.🇺🇸
I’ve been waiting for this one🎉
beautiful truck Cam! you deserve the success. great video as always. In other news I got the Tekamo shirt the other day and it's so comfy, fits perfectly and it matches great with my Tekamo hats. you guys are the best thank you so much for everything you do! :)
Glad you like the shirt Oz! Thanks for always watching and supporting us
Where can we buy shirts and hats?
Heyy, can you show a bit more of the waste oil system on the truck. Thinking of making something like that myself, but can’t find any videos on the setup of any of the trucks. Great videos keep em’ coming. Thanks from Norway
Absolutely stunning bud!
Awesome, cam is come back , thank you 👍👍👍👍
Sick setup brother 😎 thats like a shop on wheels
Just got into the channel, makes a guy want to attempt off-road but I enjoy my current shop to much
Im a field service mechanic also doing my own thing here in south africa love it work on machines and road trucks
Where do ya keep the spare ball joints for the dodge?
bud i'd kill to be an apprentice for Cam, we need more people like you man!
We need more people like you.
@@BluTechEquipment not sure Canada wants anymore Americans
YEAAAAAAA DITTO😅😅🤣🤣🤣😂😂😎😎😎😎
Looks like your truck is pretty evenly distributed for weight on either side. Stay safe out there Cam, we’re in for a cold winter
I've been in 2 different 5500's set up exactly like this, that manual extension on the crane is a pain in the ass. Was this truck bought from the auction or from a equipment dealer?
Sweet truck Cam. Enjoyed the tour..
Glad you enjoyed Terry!!
I recognize that yellow accumulator charge kit you ever work in the drill rig field I know you still currently work on some but that case looks extremely facials
Good choice. I am on truck #6, the Ram is great for the mountains in my area. When dealing with flat-landers and curves, hang back, drop a gear, once a passing section comes up apply the coals and you can sling-shot right around. The down hill is amazing with the exhaust brake and trans. You need to install some "Sumo" anti sway cushions on the drive axle, that will greatly improve the cornering going through canyon curves.
That box is dopy mcdope dope
Bout time!!!
Just needs a little toaster oven for heating up lunch while you work
My microwave is on top of the drawers on my truck.
Where are the gray boxes from?
Do you like the regular cab ??? I have a love hate relationship with my reg cab , I wish dodge made an ext cab still …it’s not a junk drawer it’s the magic drawer
Nice setup
thanks for watching boss
Surely big Carson got the ford he is the goat 🐐
What year
What do the guys think of Edison Motors who is going to make Hybrid truck conversions?
Do you have anything from Genius Tools?
WTF was that??? I feel gypped! Man Cam, Tyler's tour was almost 55 minutes, and he not only showed every tool he also told a story about them! Hahaha Maybe I was wrong, maybe you should wanna be like Tyler! 🤣🤣🤣
Just messin. Nice truck! Thanks for the vid. Stay safe.
People complained my first truck tour was too long so I gave them the express version this time.
How has your experience been with the mac 3/4” impact? Would you buy it again knowing what you know now? Cheers Cam 👍
Air? I ve written torque test channel and asked him to do reviews on 3/4 and up impacts. He said he doesnt have a compressor big enough. I really hate spending a ton of money and guessing what one is best. I have the composit matco and IR261 and the IR is stronger, but coworkers new Aircat beats both. I know 1 guy with the Mac but we havent faced off. The snap on is weak.
Got anymore details on your accumulator charging kit? Im looking for one myself
What ones do you work on? Accum charging is a giant pain to tool up. Start with a regulator Harris 8700-1500 or Victor. Hydac is common. Cat has a book with good pics. Tifco is another good one. Each breaker comp has their own tooling
My air tank on my 5500 is mounted to the frame driver side in front of the rear axle. Makes a lot of room up top
What would that air tank be used for? I’m assuming not the compressor because that’s its own unit, but idk I’m new to this service truck world, and am trying to get answers, thanks!
@@tybuza3890 air tank is for the compressor. The output of the hydraulic compressors is awesome, but to run the air tools effectively, the system needs to have a decent sized reservoir. Especially if you’re running a 1” impact for long periods of
@@kevak907 Oh, I understand. Thanks!
accumulator charge kit??? can you put nitrogen in volvo articulated haulers with these??!!?! it has a bunch of them they are like 500 each!!!
Above my drawers on my driver side I keep my inverter an all my batteries for my battery powered stuff. I only have like 5 inches of space between the top of my bed and the top of my drawers so not much real estate 😂
Where does cam keep the seals?
I’ve used that 100 times in the past week, everyone hates me now… :(
Is it annoying going from extended cab to a single cab ?
💯💯💯💯
cam cam cam… i remember you said you’d switch from milwaukee yet all i see is milwaukee?? pls explain mister!!😂
No built-in romper room?
You carry larger stuff in the dog house some times, more so the 55 gallon for used oil do you pull them out full? If so how you get them out?
I know in my service truck when I do that I either use the truck crane to unload them or the shop crane. You can buy a barrel picker that grabs the rim and picks it up straight
Waste oil tank, two way valve to fill & empty. No more pails or drums
Shit I wish my truck had that many drawers…I loose SO much space over that, only got the drivers side front two with drawers, and my cabinets are about half the size 😂of
Tekamo make a shirt with a pic of Cam at 0:15 secs of the vid
So by building a network of techs across North America is that counting United States love the channel and would love to be apart of the team I have one semester left of “schooling” but haven’t learned enough to be professional
that is correct
@@TekamoHD so I’m assuming if I have questions I can contact you guys
Yow, where do you get your energy to power your welders and compressors?
Engine driven
So is Carson driving the F550?
Cam likes to Ram
Hi boss I am a Heavy Equipment Mechanic. I have 16 years experience and in the beginning I take some courses related heavy equipment. Now I am working in United Arab Emirates. I want to move Canada for improving my skill and better future. Please tell me how to get a job in Canada and a way to move Canada. thank you
How reliable has that 5500 been for ya?
Any reason for the brand change?
Right price at the right time.
No free stickers.. whattttt?
How many 1 mm you got in there
100% Tyler bought it..... He didn't want to, but it had a wrench in it - he didn't have.
Bought what?
Shouldn't Canadians only have metric sockets and wrench😂
Dont overload it to much our rams were shearing off lug studs
y'all hiring?
Wtf is a deckuull, ehh? 😂
I'm dyslexic and that thumbnail is depraved.
Cams truck isn't as obese like Tylors truck I imagine Cam has more tools added to the truck since this video. A single axle 5 ton is the way to go more room to carry tools more room to work out of the truck isn't maxed to the hind t*t weight wise. Not sure if the new RAM trucks are any better the 2008 Sterling Bullet (Ram 5500) that was in the fleet I worked at truck ate brakes for breakfast. You could sure tell it was a Dodge the cab is cheaply built the way things are engineered/designed poorly.
Why a regular cab, surprised you don't have a work bench on the back. Why not go with a medium or heavy duty chassis? Not a fan of the rushed tour.
Why’d cam get rid of his old truck
