Very cool!
My 2 are suggestions are... add a 5-10 gallon container of water in the bed, plumb a hose from it with a valve where you can reach it from the ground to clean your hands etc.
2nd is buy the largest bottle of saline solution you can find, to flush out any contaminates that get in your eyes.
They have an irrigating tip, so you only have to pop the top and wash your eyes out.
I think this channel is going to get big.
Share it with your buddies and keep commenting! Helps us create more videos.
For those of you who may have not noticed, the wheels on the truck were recently spray painted hence the rag being stuff in there to not get over spray on the rotors or calipers. Sure it was just for the vid lol
Definitely has a lot of room to grow. I have a 9’ bed on a f450 that’s packed out but extremely organized.
Nice, I am a professional welder. I dig the truck, I only dabble in engine repair, but cool to see how your truck is put together. I dig the TopKick. My favorite welding rig in my family is an older Top Kick C70. I'll be rolling around in it eventually. Has a CAT 3126 installed.
Thank you for the videos Shawn..👍😎
I find that drawers are extremely helpful. I’d almost have every cabinet have drawers in them. I hate looking deep inside the cabinet where you can barely see what you got.
The rag in the front rim was weird but cool truck, thanks for the tour.
Just a little advise on properly using snap gauges 16:53 for an accurate ID measuring is to put them in at a slight angle and just tighten the lock screw enough that it will hold position but not fully expand then rock them past the point of perpendicular to the bore which you will feel then snug up that lock and measure them. Just a helpful hint for those who have never seen or used them before.
More service truck tours nice tool collection
We'll definitely do more truck tours and some shop tours as well.
Nice service track
Sweet rig Wrenchy, Too much empty space in that rig, time to step your game up. You can get some tips by watching what the Camster has on his rig.
outstanding video!
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! We will be doing other service truck and tool videos very soon, be sure to check those out when they release.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching! More videos like this coming soon.
I know the struggle of those drawers sliding out on you i only use toolboxes (since I think the price of drawer system are crazy for what you get). I can outfit my whole truck with toolboxes for the price of one drawer system. Although I did have to hack a few lol. Still working well though.
fun video
Does your legendary beard get in your way while you’re working?
I've seen a ton of service truck tours and one thing I noticed is that no one carries a portable canopy to work under. I live in the PNW and I use equipment everyday in my job working on roads. I'm not a mechanic, but it seems to me if you were forced to work on equipment in the pouring rain or snow, you'd want to take the minute or so to set up a canopy. I know some equipment would be too big to use one, but still would be nice to work under if you could.
I am guessing that they are working on stuff that is too large for a canopy. They are in BC so are in your neck of the woods.
Not a bad idea, I bought a mobile canopy/gazebo for just that purpose but never use it as it takes too long to set up.
A canopy only fits sometimes, takes up alot of space on the truck and in my case the wind took it before I could get the tie points down. I use a beach unbrella and its eaiser to jam in somewhere and move around with you as needed
HVAC supply houses almost always carry a cheap magnetic umbrella setup, Which is honestly shit for working on ac units because the metal flexes and the magnet pops off. But on a machine, I'm sure it would be the shit. Make your own mag base for a pipeliners cloud, and you'd be golden.
Why over here in the uk most fitters have ford transit high tops or equivalent vans so you can stand inside out the rain and work on components, on the smaller vans and the electric company grp utility body pickups which is our equivalent of a service body a one peice lifting tailgate that forms a canopy to work under is preferred.
Truck just needs a big chrome tip on a 45 behind the passager rear tire 5" turbo back straight pipe and some nice polished aluminum rims to be perfect
A 'snap gauge' is actually an inside micrometer.
Nice size truck, probably could use some foldable running boards because the truck is so high off the ground, if you did that you could add more usable space for tools. -
Definitely a very messy and inefficient toolbox though, Shawn must waste heaps of time finding the right spanners,
When I used to have a service truck we would always have the middle space uncovered because we carried 200l drums, large panels, parts, tyres, etc.
Technical term is a telescoping gauge. They're not inside mics. A bit different.
Top kick I hate them the last injector on driver side sucks to get out an water pump is fun haha
Not sure if dog houses are more common in Canada but we don’t run them.. I am curious (because I actually like them) can you take the top off in order to bring large cylinders and pumps like I can in a regular crane truck service truck? That would be the only down side I could see… also very surprised how little tools are on the truck seems like mostly consumables and lighting gear very interesting .. our guys usually run one side tools plus bumper then opposite side consumables and welding, cutting torch, fabrication… I’ll hopefully have my truck tour up this weekend if anyone is interested i am no CZcamsr but like these tours and would like to see what people think of my setup and if they have advise for ways to improve it.. by the way take my tool comment back looks like you crammed a lot in those two little boxes !
Dog houses are pretty common here in Canada, specially in winter, keeping everything nice and dry.
What kind of 2 smoker do you have?
not bad
That’s an awesome set up, when you work on something do you just park the truck real close, or do you carry tools back and forth?
Hey Devin, it varies but usually the trucks are parked as close to the equipment as the site allows. Thanks for watching! We have more coming soon.
@@TekamoHD cool thanks for responding
@@devinc5857 No problem. Let us know what you think of our other videos.
Dan Bilzerian has a nice setup hahaha
WHy no get a yellow can for diesel? Or do you just like red that much
Aren't you supposed to keep diesel in a yellow container Instead of a gasoline red container?
thats from a self brake cleaning mechanism
My man has the Dan Bilzerian thing going on....except the real Bilzerian doesn't know squat about mechanicking.
Go team Canada 🇨🇦.
Haha yeah bud! Are you a heavy duty mechanic here?
@@TekamoHD in the have not province of Ontario. 🙃
@@mikemuzzell5167 Ah east coast! Are you an independent mechanic?

What engine do you have
Posted this video couple days ago
Unfortunately, we had to reupload this video due to some circumstances.
Tekamo HD it's the same video you could change the bloke who was doing it Has did seem very interested in doing it
So needless to say this boy is a beginner and is just out on oil changes.
You have removed it and removed the comments reposted this
I will say I feel like those narrow cabinets are kind of useless. I’d rather have a larger first cabinet.
O ring pick? you mean occasionall tooth pick
If its 4x4 it would be a k5500
Those t handle looking things are called bore mics
Bore mics have a dial on the end and aren't spring loaded. Will measure down to thou accurately. Snaps are a bit inconsistent at times
Your truck is a mess.
