    Being a diesel mechanic for many year's J.H is 100% spot on. People always bring the craziest pos to get fixed and it's always after they trued fixing it themselves and destroyed something or it's engines that have never been serviced and everything needs to be changed at once it never fails.

    A few things when it comes to diesels and hydraulic systems, you're almost always going to be correct in assuming the larger port is suction/inlet and the smaller port being pressure/outlet, the goes for just about any pump I've worked on that prioritize pressure over flow.
    As for the arm, I highly recommend putting some long small diameter springs on the D rings to the bumper to keep it squared when operating and ALWAYS keep a spare set of chain and binders or straps rated for well more than you anticipate. I can't tell you how many times I thought I had straps and they weren't there or the ones I had were underrated for what I needed them for.
    I also highly recommend doing a few full cycles on all cylinders whenever the system is opened, so filter changes, pump changes, or even a leak on the suction side. You can have air bubbles get caught in the cylinders and if you know about air in the brakes, you'll know this isn't the greatest for hydraulic performance
    As for my source, I'm a 2nd class Construction Mechanic for the navy and specialize in cranes and MK36 MTVR wreckers (military version of a rotator tow truck)

    Bushing is worn AF in the swivel.. The whole assemble you see sags. Looks like a dynamic brand? They sell parts . And you should weld plates On the Jaw arms where they are worn. Drove a quick lift truck moved too many thousands of cars in FL. Those lifts auto center anyway if you are not on the tires square. But try your best to square it up. Fix it up though the self loaders are super handy to move cars around when they wont run. Start ETC. You can organize a whole parking lot like I used to with one. Make sure you strap the cars when you go fast they WILL fall off. Also trailer hitches will cause trucks to fall off if you hit the boom with it

    I would highly recommend going to a T4 conversion kit along with an intercooler, You are already going to be swapping out the uppipes to bellowed. (That smoke you are seeing on start up is more than likely the donut seals).
    The T4 kits basically give you all the pipes and fittings you'll need and would probably already be doing. Along with the flexibility of running various off the shelf turbos.
    And while you are in there go ahead and convert it over to Efuel with the RR mod. The mechanical pumps have fallen off in quality, I had got a brand that every one used to praise, one week later it was leaking. After looking some more I wasn't the only one with issues.
    The biggest annoyance was it's in the valley so all the accessories pretty much has to come off the top end of the motor to get to it. So I just ordered everything to DIY it, freeze plugged the hole and moved the pump to somewhere it can be easily reached, I also deleted the fuel bowl to converted it over to spin on filters during this time. Just since I knew there was a higher chance to get quality filters vs the chance of not finding an international or fomoco fuel filter at a random part store away from home.

    You have made an amazing purchase there kinda rough around the edges but it is def a diamond in the rough! You really need to be careful or you are going to hurt somebody for one the pivot bushing on the cross bar (the one with the claw) is done and when it lets go whatever your towing is on its own! Also whenever you lift something you need to strap each wheel to the crossbar( the straps it came with were somebody’s attempt to keep it from flopping around ) and you need tow safety chains attached to your casualty (legal requirement) and keep in mind that design of tow attachment is capable of lifting a much heavier load than you truck is rated for (especially when you have flat tires) There is a company located there in Florida called A W Direct they sell all the chains and straps you could ever need and anything else you can imagine or need for your wonderfull little tow trucks (they have everything)
    Anyway keep up the good work I have been fan from day one when you claimed Tom Baileys Camaro and I watch every single video you guys make Chris BadBoy from SF California and I eat avacodos every day P.S. if you are interested in hiring a consultant or Tow Truck Driver Extraordinaire I would consider relocating to Florida I drive big rig Tow Truck and I am an expert in every facet of the Towing Industry

    When you extend it out the head left and right it has a bushing in there. It looks like the bushing might be bad because it is downwards when you pick up the truck. I believe the bushing in there needs to be replaced in the pivot. For 12 years I used to tow for a guy in Rockford Illinois we had those go bad and then they had to be replaced. They’re not hard to replace.

    The suction line is wrong into pump it has straight threads with an o ring and you got tapered threads that is why it’s buried and will also suck air into the pump causing it to wear out quicker. Love the video and the new tow truck!

I have 1 green belt that runs everything and mine has an intercooler. ;) The best thing about a 7.3 is that there is always something leaking somewhere so no bolt or nut is ever rusted and and the engine stays nice and coated. It makes everything more dirty to work on, but definitely easier!
