Getting used to the heat in the summer is a lot easier for me. Most people don’t spend any appreciable amount of time outside in extreme heat or cold, so it’s hard to realize your body and mind can acclimate. Cold weather still sux though.
@John barfneck All I know is the body get worse in cold temps. Once it goes its never right again. I kmow this from steel warehouse work. Coils retain temps. Arthor Itis is a bad man.

@@jhort100 I suppose when you have a snowplough on the front of your car you start talking shit a bit. Could happen to anyone.
@ Not really. Complete difference between being unable to drive on a ploughed road in a shitbox 2WD, to a truck with 4WD ploughing a a snow covered road.
I have 8 beautiful GSD , and it's a lot to handle sometimes but I have a very supportive wife that loves animals just as much as I do so im very lucky and blessed.
Andrew has turned me into an addict. Instead of turning to AA as my recovery partner, I turn to AC (Andrew Camarata). Only his videos help me recover my addiction to watching heavy equipment operation, snowplows, dogs, aerial drones and more. Keep 'em coming Andrew. I need a lot of help and this is the only channel I get excited when I see that you posted a new video to watch. Bravo!
Sober life is the best life don't waist your time with fake happiness. Save money stay healthy and stay clean it's really worth it. I hope you succeed in your struggles. Peace be with you.
A Zip tie? Really? Figured you weld on a bolt and use a couple fender washers and a nylock nut. Looks like the battery positive terminal could use a little love.
Yes, perhaps a quick video on how to use a paste of baking soda to neutralize and remove battery terminal acid... cleam 'em up and apply grease as a protectant?
I "immerse" myself by bringing out a 6 pack and stickin it in a snow bank.. Fire up the blower and get to work! Granted this ain't the best type of immersion if your actually driving a snow plow. ;-)
You’re a huge inspiration bud, I wanted to buy brand new truck and i said Andrew fixes his stuff, let me fix mine, and if you have to buy - buy a second hand, who needs all the headache with payments etc. Andrew knows how to run the business 👍
I'll give that a thumbs up. If someone is looking to have a shiny truck that looks good pulling up to the contractor door at Home Depot, then by all means go for it. But you're right, a work truck doesn't need to look good, it needs to get the job done. Plow trucks take a huge amount of abuse, especially in rural areas. It's not like plowing paved driveways in the suburbs. There are hidden stumps and boulders under the snow. Hell I cracked a frame on some frozen ground that heaved up once. I limped home, welded some patches and it's still holding strong four years later. One of my cousins bought a plow for his 2018 F250, he drives it like it's made of glass because a major hit will screw up his beautiful truck and cost a bundle. Useless.
I find it funny I've never been to wherever you are but yet I can tell where you are just from previous videos of jobs you've posted. As you're driving, I'm thinking, hey, i know that field..you mowed it, or hey, I recognize that travel trailer from a couple videos. Keep up the awesome videos please.
andrew, please do a video of picking up a seat for your truck at the junk yard. then installing and get a levi approval. i think many subscribers would be pleased. 2 video's in 2 days, thank you.
@Andrew You have an "apartment" on the second level of your castle, right? What sort of heating do you use in the bedroom? Toilet? I wouldn't want to sit down on a below freezing toilet seat in the middle of the night........lol
14:47 I think Levi the dog got concerned about you; Levi might have thought you were in a compromising position or were hurt/injured? Dog: Mans Best Friend.
No better way I can think of to enjoy a hot cup of coffee than with an AC get her done video, I totally agree with the getting used to the cold but I think I would need a small wood stove to knock off the chill in the shop when it’s below freezing but I’m half the man you are lol 😂 thanks again for making my day better, it’s so nice to see your happy dogs always ready to have another adventure with you, I think Levi thought you under the truck was unacceptable lol ✌️
I agree with you. This guy has tons of wood just lying around so having a nice wood stove to back up to every now and then would not seem to be to expensive.
I dont like messing around with getting the wood stove going so unless it's pretty cold I don't bother. When I do though I do it the same way every time. Crumpled newspapers, 6 pieces of firewood stacked 2 on 2 on 2, diesel fuel and blowtorch. Takes about 5 minutes and includes hauling the wood from the pile.
I would hang a large propane heating unit with the fan. Their cheap enough and easy to install and run . at least you can turn it on while working to get the chill out of the garage ?
He makes anything interesting. It's how he delivers the information. Few words, even tone and doesn't make the viewer seem dumb. I am shopping for a drone. Would welcome his thoughts on that.
I've seen tons of those split right between the cab due to corrosion. Issue is The plant where these trucks are built doesn't put enough corrosion protection on the frames for the Northern section of the US. Hence why now they are forced to warranty the frame and replace them when the frame is showing signs of cracking. My Dad's Chevy did the same thing so its not just Toyota's, lostintime86.
I wonder where he lives...county or state. I live in south Alabama, and we saw maybe 28 degrees this year as our lowest. 3 years ago we got down to 9 degrees...it was freakin awesome!
@@SuperDave44Mag In Mi we got to our lowest in decades about -10f with windchill well below that. It was not awesome I assure you as many people died or were injured because of it. :-(
Xcaliber Trekker my experience was awesome with kids playing in the snow and people having a little fun, and to my knowledge no one died that I’m aware of, but thanks...people dying was not where I saw this commentary going. Way to add fatal dramatics to the thread...I’m sure you’re a hoot to be around.
Recognized the silver travel trailer parked in the trees where you did a job, and also that building you took down some trees and dug out behind it for better drainage on another job. Good to see Levi and Sadie again. Also Andrew, always carry an assortment of zip ties in your truck. They come in handy for a lot of things. Great video as usual.
i enjoy your maintenance vds, its such a monies maker havin sharpe blades, engines that start etc...hope to see more like that , any plans for future lumber side business
I know your not going to agree but in about 10 or 15 years your view of working in the cold will change, i keep my garage at about 45 degrees when working nowdays,but i was more like you years ago!
I bet that Levi and Sadie said to plow the driveways very fast so to knock off a lot of it stones so in the spring you can bring more stone back to the customers and tailgate it in. Smart dogs!
Always love to hear about this truck and your snow plowing ventures. We used to have a 1977 F150 Ranger plow setup that my Dad taught me how to plow in. Before that a 60s Jeep with the floor boards rotted out. Our driveway is about 1000ft so it was always a bit of a job to get it done, but nothing like that house on top of the mountain in your previous video. Great to know you can buy a cheap truck and get tons of work out of it without worrying about the body work or payments or anything like that.
My Dexter loves watching Levi & Sadie. I just got back from the vet. I thought he injured himself turns out his Lime disease is back. F$c%^& horrible. Your the man.

yeah I agree with you at work on cell phone towers and it's just best to just get too used to the cold in hell you can almost working sweatshirt when your shop Jana think about an outdoor wood boiler it would take the chill off the air you wouldn't have to run it wide open by any means just keep it like 42 and there wouldn't be bad you'd be amazed when you work in the teens and you walking to somewhere that's in the forties you're like sweating instantly love it that you're getting it done keep doing what you doing
I think my favorite part about watching the snow plow videos is the fact you get to see all the other jobsites I've witnessed in other videos, except covered in snow, which shows time has passed..
You need a Positraction Rear Axle to get unstuck better…like we do here in Northern Minnesota. Carry your FARMER HI-JACK and rope to rig a quick plug you out jack configuration. I would plow with an old articulating log-skidder with a heavy articulating plow attachment ….if you can find one. It seems that your plow blade of your fold over a lot. A larger unit with a larger plow would allow more build-up of snow to push aside. A one ton truck with a 2-3 yard box and single wheels rear works good in snow too. Duals wheels, in which the outside tires don't tract in front tire path on long pushes, have to fight the snow to make a path.. But a bigger truck means a larger and heavier plow to do a better job. Of course therfe are many ways to plow snow from a teams of horses to a large construction machine.
Those battery cable ends are very close to leaving you stranded. You can't even find good original ones here in the south. Grease or battery terminal spray will stop that issue.
Cumalongs are cheap, pair with a chain and tree strap you would of been able to pull yourself out faster. You probably have one in your shop already. Looks like your battery could use some Coke A Cola too.
One reason I like watching AC is he never asks you to like his page, or get notifications when uploads a new video. Most all of other u tubers do. He lets his work speak for itself.
I agree with you on how to stay warm in the winter. Less heat make you more hearty for sure. However I still heat my garage to 40deg all winter to keep fluids and other things from freezing. Have a Clean Burn CB2000 waste oil heater and i get used motor oil at work for free.
I have a winch mounted on a plate that inserts into a 2" receiver. I have a receiver on both the front and back of my F150. I can pull things from the front or the back with ease.
@20:21 there is a black cable heading into your underhood fuse box.. with GREEN corrosion on the wire coming out.. electrons travel on the surface of the wire strands.. so corrosion is slowing them down.. you need to clean your positive battery cable too.. Hot water works the best.. here is somebody cleaning the cables with hot water.. you still have to wire brush them.. and wash them again.. do not put baking soda on top of the battery.. it will leak thru.. when the top of the battery is clean and dry put some silicone sealer around the base of the battery post and smeared out onto the top about an inch. to seal the gap where the acid fumes from the battery are causing the corrosion.. the best brush i have found is from Lincoln welding.. its a 3 buck version from homedepot next to the welders on the tool isle.. it has really stiff stainless steel bristles. www.homedepot.com/p/Lincoln-Electric-8-in-Long-Wooden-Handled-Stainless-Steel-Welding-Wire-Brush-3-in-x-1-6-in-Bristle-Area-3-x-7-Row-KH580/100341131 i have been a professional auto mechanic for 40 years.. this is what i use.. when you are done cleaning your cables.. please perform at least the first 5 steps of this test.. i.imgur.com/kviX0VQ.jpg
I'm not going to read all the comments, so someone probably already said this; clean those battery posts! Do you realize how nice it is to have those garage lifts?! I'd give a toe for those. Great video.
Nah. Those $2500 trucks are the best for plowing. One thing for sure when you're plowing, the truck absolutely going to break at some point whether the truck is "newerish" or old. As long as you have the ability to repair them, which Andrew does, an older truck is a much better financial choice.
Hi Andrew , Ken here from Co Meath Ireland , I watch all your You Tubes .. learning allot love your house and I love the area you live in ,, fab scenery both in the good and bad weather .. Keep up the good work .... Ken the True PaddY from the GREEN ISLE
I've seen videos of trucks bending so is it metal fatigue, rust, over stress or a combination? I'd consider welding a couple metal plates (12" long) on either side of the frame rails (4 total) at the cab and bed divide or would that be overkill?
Even plowing seems to be a dangerous job, but I guess you know all the roads and driveways by heart! Looks kinda all the same to me! But I don’t know snow because we don’t get that here in Louisiana my brother!
I definitely would prefer a warm garage for doing repair work. It doesn't necessarily have to be full room temperature but at least well above freezing. I think by just properly insulating the walls and roof of the castle you would be able to increase temperature inside without any added heat source.
I really don't like how that truck looks BUT you keep it running, and that is the sole purpose of a money making machine, so Mr. Camarata you are impressive!

Cumalongs are cheap, pair with a chain and tree strap you would of been able to pull yourself out faster. You probably have one in your shop already. Looks like your battery could use some Coke A Cola too.
Do you have a backup plow truck? What is your plan if your "Trusty Rusty Ram" Suffers a catastrophic failure during a snowstorm.
He'll fix it like he always does ;)
If the frame snaps in half he’ll zip tie a brace to it
One reason I like watching AC is he never asks you to like his page, or get notifications when uploads a new video. Most all of other u tubers do. He lets his work speak for itself.
Nice...2 vids in 1 day.....awesome....... :)
I agree with you on how to stay warm in the winter. Less heat make you more hearty for sure. However I still heat my garage to 40deg all winter to keep fluids and other things from freezing. Have a Clean Burn CB2000 waste oil heater and i get used motor oil at work for free.
Next project Install winch.
Yep, and some tire chains especially for the front tires.
He has one in the bed he can insert into a 2” receiver. I was waiting for him to pull it out. Surprised he didn’t.
@@mrallsette Oh that sly fox, extend the TH-cam content. Maybe he stuck the plow on purpose to get more video time.
we will take a little extra content
I have a winch mounted on a plate that inserts into a 2" receiver. I have a receiver on both the front and back of my F150. I can pull things from the front or the back with ease.
@20:21 there is a black cable heading into your underhood fuse box.. with GREEN corrosion on the wire coming out.. electrons travel on the surface of the wire strands.. so corrosion is slowing them down.. you need to clean your positive battery cable too.. Hot water works the best.. here is somebody cleaning the cables with hot water.. you still have to wire brush them.. and wash them again.. do not put baking soda on top of the battery.. it will leak thru.. when the top of the battery is clean and dry put some silicone sealer around the base of the battery post and smeared out onto the top about an inch. to seal the gap where the acid fumes from the battery are causing the corrosion.. the best brush i have found is from Lincoln welding.. its a 3 buck version from homedepot next to the welders on the tool isle.. it has really stiff stainless steel bristles. www.homedepot.com/p/Lincoln-Electric-8-in-Long-Wooden-Handled-Stainless-Steel-Welding-Wire-Brush-3-in-x-1-6-in-Bristle-Area-3-x-7-Row-KH580/100341131 i have been a professional auto mechanic for 40 years.. this is what i use.. when you are done cleaning your cables.. please perform at least the first 5 steps of this test.. i.imgur.com/kviX0VQ.jpg
Electrons do not travel on the surface of the strands, except at high rf frequencies, certainly not at DC.
"I think its going to break in half" I love it 😂. Great Video!!
Never seen any of your videos before... I’m a new subscriber, love seeing great plough work
Awesome video
Andrew, put a POSI traction carrier in that rear axle and it will be the difference of getting stuck and not getting stuck.
"the best way out is always through"
I'm not going to read all the comments, so someone probably already said this; clean those battery posts!
Do you realize how nice it is to have those garage lifts?! I'd give a toe for those. Great video.
You should spray your old used motor oil, on the under side of the truck to prevent more rust
Look like it's time for a newerish truck. Find something similar so you can use your old one for parts.
Nah. Those $2500 trucks are the best for plowing. One thing for sure when you're plowing, the truck absolutely going to break at some point whether the truck is "newerish" or old. As long as you have the ability to repair them, which Andrew does, an older truck is a much better financial choice.
And the mighty Dodge truck lives to work another day!
Great video as always, work safe, stay warm!
That's one long ass driveway!
Yay, first view , first like Niiiiice!!
Hi Andrew, hello from Perth , Western Australia.
4:17 that’s me after eating Taco Bell 🌮 🔔
Hi Andrew , Ken here from Co Meath Ireland , I watch all your You Tubes .. learning allot love your house and I love the area you live in ,, fab scenery both in the good and bad weather .. Keep up the good work .... Ken the True PaddY from the GREEN ISLE
Those old ram 2500s run forever if u take care of them
@Matt P I have a 2002 F150 that's proof.
Bill Quantrill - My brother is still running the 1991 F-250 that I ordered from the factory.
@@daneclark3161 Nice.
@Matt P those 351 Windsor or Cleveland engines were great engines. Ford made a big mistake when they discontinued those engines in their pickups.
Love this finally found someone with the same mentality as me is it cold? Yes don't wear warm clothes
Andrew, How and when do you decide to put on chains?
John S. Richards When the truck won’t plow the snow without them
I've seen videos of trucks bending so is it metal fatigue, rust, over stress or a combination?
I'd consider welding a couple metal plates (12" long) on either side of the frame rails (4 total) at the cab and bed divide or would that be overkill?
I thought the more the better
I’m from Queensland Australia...what’s all that white fluffy stuff? Somebody’s washing tub overflow?
Finally! Someone who understands why I don’t wear a crap ton of clothes when it starts getting cold
Even plowing seems to be a dangerous job, but I guess you know all the roads and driveways by heart! Looks kinda all the same to me! But I don’t know snow because we don’t get that here in Louisiana my brother!
Anothor video of mr Camarata:s fixing skills,great job on the dodge!
I definitely would prefer a warm garage for doing repair work. It doesn't necessarily have to be full room temperature but at least well above freezing. I think by just properly insulating the walls and roof of the castle you would be able to increase temperature inside without any added heat source.
I really don't like how that truck looks BUT you keep it running, and that is the sole purpose of a money making machine, so Mr. Camarata you are impressive!
