Your videos are just showing what you do all day and for some that is probably mundane. For me, it is entertaining to watch you hook and unhook and the processes you go through. It must be a bit exasperating to you that you have CZcams experts watching everything you do and provide input on how you do everything wrong. But for me, I just watch and enjoy.
Agreed! Also, I don't know why it keeps surprising me, but it's so cool learning about all the neat time- and effort-saving devices that exist in the heavy equipment world. Things like how the drawbar on the dump trailer hooks up to the truck. Or the pockets for the safety chains. Or...
Not at all. This is just part of trucking and the type of thing you have plan for when running them. That’s why as soon as someone starts to bitch about my price or haggle with me I just hang up on them.
@@CaseyLaDelleMechanic prob hit line dryer cartridge is a step point on them. It happens. A priest to bless it might no be a bad idea. But, for the driveline bearings to be bad and no one noticed and the engine blown that thing should get a good once over by a knowledgeable tech. Not nesseciarly a top tier guy but, someone competent been doing it for 3-5yrs minimum. If you ever want it looked over real good tell them to have the ocd guy look at it even if you have to pay a little more. Almost every shop has the super attention to detail guy.
Just so you know, I love your show, I live in Michigan, and watch you all the time. I was watching Steve Lehto 's show on CZcams, and he had on one of your shirts,(" I never said I was good at this ") shirt. I thought that was cool so I thought I would let you know too. Keep up the get work. God Bless you and your family!!!! Pete
For more than 30 years of tying down windsurfing boards and kayaks with straps on roof racks and trailers, I wrapped those stupid tails around and around bars and tied them off, which was always a waste of time. When I saw how you use clamps, I thought how effing stupid have I been for over half of my life. Got some harbor freight clamps and now my l smile clamping those tails. Thank you, Casey, for making my life so much better! 🤣
And we call that….”Close ENOUGH”! Keep the videos coming young man! You are the most entertaining towing channel on CZcams! I love your documentation, explanations and thinking out loud! See are good at what you do!
Something similar came up in a comment on video I was watching yesterday, on a completely different subject, that's relevant. It seems like a lot of people are taught *_one_* way to do something that can be done several ways, and then assume that's the *_only_* way to do it. So, when they see someone do it differently, the conclusion they jump to is that it's wrong.
I like how you always explain what you are doing and why YOU do it that way. Also, about the chains on a tongue trailer being crossed, which is the correct way and the reasons you explained why, I have argued with lots of people over that. They couldn't grasp the reality of catching the tongue on the chains.
Hi Casey My name is Larry Beasley. I HAVE FOLLOWED YOU FOR YEARS!! I want to Thank You for the things you have done for myself and for the public service projects you have done!!!! Once in a while there is so egghead that thinks he is smarter than you, makes stupid comments that make you pissed. PLEASE don't listen to those people. They are jealous of your ability to help those in need! And you have helped many people without knowing you have!! I AM ONE OF THEM simply by witching your posting!!!! I'm an old man now but I tried to help those in need when I was young. I also know you have health problems. PLEASE take care of yourself for your families sake !! See ya in the next video! THANKS! Larry from Chincoteague island, Va
Great job on helping this guy get his truck moved to the shop! Poor guy! I feel sorry for him facing THAT repair bill. Hope they do a good job and he has NO MORE problems!
Good morning 😊 You are so methodical on your hookups and explain why and how you do everything! It’s nothing I need to know, but it is so interesting to watch!👍😎 Keep the great videos coming and I will be watching. Stay safe out there!❤️🙏
New subscriber. Not sure what about vehicle recovery channels that fascinate me but your videos are a great watch. Fun and informative. Thank you for doing what you do and sharing it with us.
Casey I remember you telling us about where the tow jaws go last time and the air fitting belongs thx for the video I love watching your videos, can't get enough of these recoverys 👍
Casey, you may be able to get the camera to be more reliable by putting a different or taller antenna on it. One way would be to add an extension cable (coax with the right fittings) so you can relocate your antenna to a high spot with the least obstructions (metal) between it and the cab unit.
I took a load to the dump on my trailer today. Ratchet straps, of course. And tails. Damn! Now I am going to buy some clamps. That really is the easiest way!
When my son was growing up, we did different things together. When we got done, like pouring concrete, re-roofing a house with his uncle, he would say, “Well that’s a job I would not want to do as a career”! I thought that when I realized someone off loaded what ever was in that dump truck, more than likely by hand, one shovel full at a time. If I recall correctly the truck was loaded when you picked it up the first time.
So the question is Who's paying for the repair? The "mechanic" did the original repair which possibly caused this major problem? It is SO HARD to find GOOD COMPETENT mechanics that are also trustworthy!! It seems we've gotten away from having pride in your work. Keep on keeping on brother!!
People on here that want to critique Casey who's been doing this professionally for years crack me up. Most if not all have never driven a tow truck. I mean I drove a little Holmes for 440 way back in the '70s. But I couldn't hold a candle to the stuff Casey does. And I'll admit it.
Hey Casey appreciate all your content I actually had to use The knowledge I learned from you to tow my C10 Chevy truck appreciate you brother keep up the good work
Really love when you get a truck out of the shop and it breaks down the first time you use it. Hopefully the owner gets right after that shop, they need to make this right. Also noticing those front tires, pretty nasty looking and need to be replaced soon, don't think they'd get past a DOT inspection.
Good looking out Casey fixing that air leak you’re the man you’re always on it. Thanks for showing us out on the hookah transfer. Trailer also and teaching us a little bit about transfer trailers.
Nice to see that you can keep your roll back busy as well as your wrecker. I thought you had mentioned before that it was not cost effective to have both
Casey. Brother. You need to take it easy man. Just watched a video of yours from two yrs ago. And then now. Bro, your crows feet have quadrupled. Stress will end you. Please take care of your self.
Does the mechanic who did the repair that didn't seem to repair the issue bear some responsibility for anything that happened due to the repair that didn't seem to repair the issue?
I think if you crossed the chains, they would have to be on top of the under-reach unit considering the location of the retainer boxes for them and the attachment point on the towed vehicle
The reason you cross safety changes if the trailer comes off it will pull straight behind the vehicle. Straight jeans that allow the trailer to sway beyond the truck and possibly entering into the opposite lane.
Bet you know, but have you ever heard of silicone tape? It would work as a temp fix for that air leak, and other types of leaks. Whether wet or dry, it sticks to itself. High temp, and high pressure.
In tow school they tough us to cross the safety chains on wheel lifts so that if your load did come off the wheel lift it would tow straight and not drift side to side into other lanes or off the road.
Can ya change that frustrating camera out ? Or to much involved, thanks for posting something interesting to watch while waiting for pain to diminish so old stone'a can get back to sleep for few more hours, stay safe and healthy brother 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤟🏼🖖🏼🖖🏽
Crossing the chains on every trailer I have owned was BS. The chains attached to the tongue of the trailer at a single point. Looking down on the arrangement, the chains and the hitch receiver they attach to form a triangle. If they were to form a rectangle it would make sense. That would require the chains to attach to the tongue of the trailer further back. Even then it would not be that effective because the attachment points on my hitch receiver are only about 4 inches apart. If they were more like a foot, this would be more viable.
Im almost in the same boat.My overhead on my cummins needs adjustment.I have a flutter on accelleration at higher speeds.Hopefully it doesn't get worse until my garage can look at it.
Does your under reach allow for you to run it onto the ground far enough to lift your back wheels and propel the truck forward enough to clear obstacles like bumpers so you can do the fold without having to step into the cab to roll forward?

agreed, i feel like i'm learning a useful skill, i will never be good at, and never use. but still learning.
Agreed! Also, I don't know why it keeps surprising me, but it's so cool learning about all the neat time- and effort-saving devices that exist in the heavy equipment world. Things like how the drawbar on the dump trailer hooks up to the truck. Or the pockets for the safety chains. Or...
Don't forget all the Incredible scenery! Casey shows so many cool places to see in central Oregon.
I agree with other reviewers....interesting videos. Thank you😊😊
Casey, I'd say that you're probably happy that you didn't win the auction bid on that truck after all!
You beat me to it. Bullet dodged.
I think Casey would have done better.... that guy got screwed by previous mechanic I think. He did crap job on new heads
Not at all. This is just part of trucking and the type of thing you have plan for when running them. That’s why as soon as someone starts to bitch about my price or haggle with me I just hang up on them.

Bought one of those shirts also , I wear it to work on auction day 😁
I think someone needs to send Steve Lehto the "I Hate Casey LaDelle" shirt. :)
It is always a pleasure to watch Casey be a professional who loves his work.

But they help the algorithm
The issues and repair cost on the red truck sure make me less concerned about the dead battery in my riding mower .
Judging by the state of his left front tire, I think your friend's truck needs more than an engine rebuild.
he,s a battler.. like us ausies.. work hard , do the right thing, with minimal funds..
I noticed that worn tire too. I'm not a truck tire expert but it looks overdue for replacement
Great job on helping this guy get his truck moved to the shop! Poor guy! I feel sorry for him facing THAT repair bill. Hope they do a good job and he has NO MORE problems!
Good morning Casey you are good at what you do and have your own unique style.
You are a true one man show and make it look easy
Yep.
Product placement at the front of the video. Good business thinking.
Even better is seeing the roll back earning its place.
The train has gone by - there’s it’s tracks. Don’t know which direction though…
I always thought that extra steep ment I got free exercise. At 71 I purposely take several trips to get more tools when I working around the house
Casey doesn’t do things in wrong order…he’s getting his steps in 😎

Thanks for the explanation Casey. I always wondered why you didn't cross your chains ! Now I know ! Alex
Casey I remember you telling us about where the tow jaws go last time and the air fitting belongs thx for the video I love watching your videos, can't get enough of these recoverys 👍
I hope the truck is going to the Cat dealership that actually fixed your truck.
What you call dessert, we in So Cal call forest.
Your dessert has plenty of green trees.
Ours has Joshua trees, cactus, creosote bushes, 120°, etc.
Casey, you may be able to get the camera to be more reliable by putting a different or taller antenna on it. One way would be to add an extension cable (coax with the right fittings) so you can relocate your antenna to a high spot with the least obstructions (metal) between it and the cab unit.
My late father was on the board of directors of Cummins Engine Company.
What a pleasure watching someone who knows what they are doing!
Good job Casey .You are the master at your job , Have a good one.
I took a load to the dump on my trailer today. Ratchet straps, of course. And tails. Damn! Now I am going to buy some clamps. That really is the easiest way!
Good morning Casey.
Well on the bright side, at least you didn't have to deal with a press out/in U-joint. Thanks for helping this guy out and sharing the vid with us.
I like how you explain things with an educated explanation. Keep up the good work.
The perspective at hook up and the subsequent lift off was stunning to the point of being beautiful…
Great video showing how to connect up ready for towing...Stay safe and see you on the next one
"I have a camera to watch them" that was the most serious joke I have ever heard. We know your camera is shit 😆. Thanks for the laughs
Keep doing what you are doing 👏 I very much enjoy your way of doing whatever! Thanks for sharing!😊
We need a tour of your tool boxes, and your favorite tools

When Red dump truck gets fixed You can do a video showing how the transfer trailer set up works and also that Jeep CJ5 at Owners property.
So the question is Who's paying for the repair? The "mechanic" did the original repair which possibly caused this major problem? It is SO HARD to find GOOD COMPETENT mechanics that are also trustworthy!! It seems we've gotten away from having pride in your work. Keep on keeping on brother!!
Personally I would bad review the original "mechanic & shop" all over the internet until they manned up and paid for the full repair.
juuuuuuuuust enough time to watch casey do tow truck things, before IFT4 launches.
Good job Roscoe Boss Hog would be proud 😂😂😂
Hello Casey 🤘
You need a ratcheting wrench for those air fittings. Save yourself 30 seconds lol.
That dump truck?? Bad luck! Love your work bro!
The little airline probably got broke stepping on the dryer. Also looks like the king pins are good , steer tires meh
Most enjoyable to watch Mr Casey👍👍
People on here that want to critique Casey who's been doing this professionally for years crack me up. Most if not all have never driven a tow truck. I mean I drove a little Holmes for 440 way back in the '70s. But I couldn't hold a candle to the stuff Casey does. And I'll admit it.

Another great video. Thanks for sharing.
At least this time the Red Truck owner will get a warranty on this in frame build.
Great video
Nice to see that you can keep your roll back busy as well as your wrecker. I thought you had mentioned before that it was not cost effective to have both
Why you mad bro? 😂 It was saying "I hate Casey LaDelle" 🤣
Thank you once again for another video Casey. You never disappoint brother!
Lean, mean, efficiency machine....nice job Casey😉😎
As an avid strap roller upper I have to ask why the saftey chain hooks are mouth up when put away? Also, love the attention to detail on rigging.
New Casey LaDelle video upload for my birthday! Thanks Casey!
I love to see the Western Star/Zacklift in operation.
Borrowed your strap tail securing method while trailing bikes to Crane last weekend, Brilliant!
Casey. Brother. You need to take it easy man. Just watched a video of yours from two yrs ago. And then now. Bro, your crows feet have quadrupled. Stress will end you. Please take care of your self.
Haven’t seen Grumpy for awhile. Everything ok?
I'm sure he is mowing his lawn, and happily being grumpy.
Ethen either. Maybe David will help out this summer
@@miked19831988Ethan got another job & David is back again.
Casey, harbor freight recommendation. ratcheting wrenches. :) they're life changing. also, "wobble" sockets fall into that same category.
HEY! Good morning Casey !
My mom always told me what you head doesn't think of your feet will.
Your Channel Is The Best, Thanks for sharing !!!
Hai Casey Was weer een mooie interessante video, interessante berging mooie beelden, ik heb ervan genoten bedankt ervoor gr carel uit Holland
Better put some anti-seize on that pop off valve I think you’ll be doing this again
When I look at your videos you remind me of myself Roleys Towing CA I HAVE THE MDTU 20
Does the mechanic who did the repair that didn't seem to repair the issue bear some responsibility for anything that happened due to the repair that didn't seem to repair the issue?
Good morning Csaey WIZARD OF TOWING greetings from New Zealand
Interesting , Thank You. You have you're sequence , they have there's
Cascade heavy rescue blocks need to on the merch site. 😂
Thanks for the video
Hmmm, I usually just ride my bicycle to pick up my truck 😂 maybe I should look into a tow truck 😮
GOOD JOB!
I got one word to speed you up
" RACHET WRENCH " 😅.... OK ,,, MAYBE 2 WORDS..LOL. GOOD TOW !
The color of money is Cat Yellow 🚛💨
Last one I rebuilt 15 yrs ago was $32.000
But on second thought it's fine. The first one is the one that is having all the fun.
I think if you crossed the chains, they would have to be on top of the under-reach unit considering the location of the retainer boxes for them and the attachment point on the towed vehicle

Always so much to learn from your video
Salut Casey!!
I put a lot of time in a transfer truck. 1966 KW wide nose 😎
The light bar should be the last thing you put on, and the first thing you take off that way, you never forget it. 22:12
Keep up the great work.
Check to see if camera and wireless remote are on the same frequency and interfere with each other
In tow school they tough us to cross the safety chains on wheel lifts so that if your load did come off the wheel lift it would tow straight and not drift side to side into other lanes or off the road.
Wow wasn’t that the auction tractor you were bidding on?
