Getting MORR Air In The World's Largest Off Road Wrecker! 

Have the air horns blow on low fuel. That should get his attention.

Matt needs a progressive low fuel alarm. The lower the fuel the louder the alarm! !! !!!

I just Love your family’s dynamics’s. Your workmanship is great. Chad has taught his sons well It’s just great to see his sons following his work ethic. Some of the best content on RU-vid..

For a low fuel warning, you need a solid state voice recorder that taps into the speakers in the cab. You could record Korbin saying "Matt, you need gas" ... over and over.

Your family works so methodically and sets a fantastic example of how we should always be. It is relaxing, entertaining, inspiring and educational! Thank you for sharing your work !

I really appreciate the family environment your channel exhibits. In modern society, the importance and value of family are sorely underrated. It is so comforting and refreshing to watch videos that show the value of family, of supportive parents, and respectful children. So I thank all of you for your proud display of family relationship in work and fun! 🙂

Mount horns inside the cab for extra clearance.

On a motorcycle with air powered landing gear I installed a Schrader valve so I could pre-fill the system with shop air. This made it much easier on the battery & small compressor. Also made the bike ready to ride in seconds, especially after sitting for long periods of time. Keep up the great videos.

Incredible work being done by Chad's Fab. This is the skilled, detailed work most won't touch and now we all know why. Of course, for everything we see on the vids there is twice that amount of effort going into planning, troubleshooting, and exploring. This off road wrecker will forever have a large stamp of Chad upon it.

Chad and his team are installing and testing all the different components involved in this biggest wrecker. This is going to be one sweet recovery vehicle when finished!

Mount the compressors on some rubber liner. That will also reduce the noise from harmonic vibration of the steel mountings and base plates

I think this "car" cost around 500.000 dollar by now. But,.....its a beast. And you'r work on it is fantastic. I love it.

Chad for a low fuel alarm give Jamie a large rubber mallet 🎉😂

I am truly amazed at just how much you are doing to the wrecker. There is no price big enough!! Matt owes you such a favor, probably 3!

The work that has gone into this build is mind boggling but Matt has chosen the best crew to do all of the technical things. The whole Chad's Fab family should be beaming with pride for what has been accomplished.

What about running an air line to the side of the bed so you have an easily accessible connection for air line? And you could air the system up with shop air instead o waiting for the small compressors to fill it up. Keep up the fine work guys

You guys are amazing how you can figure out all the wiring and the fab work is amazing matts rig looks like it is alot of work. Korbin is going to be an amazing mechanic he has a good teacher and he pays attention to what is going on

Yes, I think a piezo buzzer buried so far up under the dash that you can’t find it would make a great low fuel alarm. And I’m guessing it’s only a matter of time before an access panel in the back of the cab gets made to access the solenoids without removing the cab. At some later date an engine mounted belt driven air compressor from a semi would be a good upgrade also. In the interim, using shop air to air up the wrecker would help. Fire trucks use a special breakaway fitting for that purpose so that when they are in the station they are connected to the air system in the garage and when they go on a run they just drive off and the connector just pops off with no damage.

Matt seems to associate with visual markers.. although impractical, an old school vertical clear tube showing fuel level 🤜💥🤛

If in fact there was Loctite or similar on the brass fittings in the air tank, a little PVC clear primer will dissolve the Loctite and make it easier. You can use the purple primer as well, it just gets messy.

Love the fact that Matt would rather raise the door on his shop. Then take some of the coolness factor away from Clark.

Low fuel alarm: a boxing glove on a spring where a steering wheel airbag would normally go!

Your knowledge of all this wiring and air line functions is quite extensive!! Anyone who uses your shop should feel comfort that you can tackle anything you could think of putting on a vehicle!

I suggest the Star Trek alert system. Make the cab shake violently and all the gauges throw showers of sparks!

Just attach the (Air-Horns) with some locking (wing-nuts) so you can take them down on the fly. Definitely hook up the low fuel to the air-horn that would be hilarious and great content 😅

Chad, (which is my son's name by the way), I really enjoy watching how well your entire family gets involved in your projects. The unbelievable number of wires and hoses required to finish this job are mind-blowing. But, you guys never get upset or worried...just slow, steady and excellent work. Great job all of you!!

When I first saw this wrecker I assumed it needed to be that big to handle recoveries. I was wrong; it needs to be that huge just to carry all the add-ons (wenches, lights, welder, air, on and on). This may be the “busiest” vehicle ever. And the most impressive part is the Chad Fab crew demonstrating rare skill and expertise to make it all function. True artwork.

Put the air horns under the cab. See them mounted on frame rails behind the cab, too. You guys do good work.

For the low fuel notification, make his seat buzz like those lane departure warnings on new vehicles.

All this stuff, You're oonna have to design a teaching curriculum to teach Matt and everyone who will be doing recoveries with the wrecker so they know how to operate it. This is the most design I have ever seen on, well,... anything!

I say forget Matt’s approval on low fuel alarm. Mount something in the driver seat that stimulates him to get out of the seat and get fuel. 😂

Should mount an air hose reel so Matt can fill tires on recovery vehicles or to use air tools

You should make a 6’ extension for the wiring plugs so you can plug in the cab when it is up in the air. Think fancy extension cords.

The low fuel alarm should be a voice recording of your voice saying “GET GAS MATT, GET GAS MATT”, and don’t tell him ahead of time!!! LOL

The the low fuel alarm, set up a toy mallet on a hinge attached to the cab ceiling inside over the driver's seat, such that when the fuel is low, the mallet bonks the driver with mallet, while a cartoon "BONK!" sound plays.

You should put an air fitting on the truck like fire engines have so you can pressure the system with the shop compressor. It will save wear and tear on those small compressors and not so much noise every time you go on a call.

Converting an old air system warning "wig-wag" that falls in front of the driver's eye would be amazing!

Mount a "BadBoy" horn from Harbor Freight under Matt's seat as a LOW FUEL ALARM!! That would wake him up!! 🤣

I agree with the previous comment. If the air horns are mounted on the headache rack you'll never have water leaking into the cab. I just wish height clearance wasn't an issue.

Add small rubber bushes to the air compressor mounting plate , should reduce vibration from plate to frame

For the low fuel, use an Arduino with an announcement on low fuel, then buzzers that randomly go off at varying times.

What a wonderful family! Best wishes from the UK.

Make sure you make a mother's day video. She is the glue to your family. That heart of hers is heavenly. She remind me of my mom and sisters. The love that she have for her family and everyone comes into contact with her.

put a spare car horn under the dash and wire it to the low fuel signal, or you can get a light that has a warning buzzer as well

You can use Loctite 577 for air tanks and hoses, it's an awesome stuff to avoid leaks.

Matt probably cut out a slot in the garage door so he drive the truck in the shop the air horn slide thru the slot he made for it

Put some of those "no bark dog collar" shock reminders in the seat so he gets a sharp shock in the behind: no way he ignores that!!! After that, the beep will work like it does with my Labrador!

I, too, use the old two pair of glasses magnify the magnifier trick to better see my tiny targets (that get tinier with each passing year 😊). It works well & I wouldnt be surprised if it is "Korbin Approved"! Put a sticker on it.

With all the nonsense on TV and in the news these days, it sure is nice to watch a show that's productive and entertaining with a family that has fun while they work. 👍 Thanks everyone !

Low fuel alarm should be a recording on a loop of Chad gently reminding Matt look at the fuel gauge 😂 Like Hal from space odysee 2001 “Check the fuel gauge Matt”

Lil dude is spot on great job Corbin lol

SUCH CRAFTSMEN!! GREAT WORK FOLKS..

Low fuel warning: Flashing yellow (changes to red when very low) lightbar across the top of the front window interior frame.

Being old is not for the feeble! I wear trifocals if I am awake and some times need a magnifying glass to see small stuff.

Idea for mounting the air horn. Mount the horn on 2 magnetic bars from Harbor Freight. The horn could be moved to the side of the cab or behind the top ROPs when height is a problem.

Great work everybody. As far as a low fuel alarm, a digital voice saying " Your out of fuel" VERY loudly.

Perhaps some vibration isolators (rubber washers) might help with the noise of the compressors. Fairly easy mod at least, easier than an acoustic box and it'll work well with a box if you do wind up at that point. Course up side to the box is it'll keep the weather off too which is always nice for stuff like that.

For low fuel, how about a recording of Ed telling Matt to get some gas?

this is why I like watching your channel, the person who build this thing has a bit of an idea , has to come running to the master and his crew to sort this thing out. thanks the channel showing us how to have a go at stuff, you and family are just a great all round team. thank you

Chad, the rear of the cab needs a accessdoor/panel to get to the Air solenoids when the cab is installed.!

What about putting some old innertube under that compressor plate to quite it down?

Wire a seat shaker for the low fuel alarm so its not so annoying.

I learned a long time ago Chad to get a wood splinter or a metal one out take a small piece of salt pork fatback and place it on the splinter and put a Band-Aid on it to keep it there and the next morning the fatback will have pulled the splinter back to the surface sometimes where you can pull it out with your finger nails if you have any of length or it will be real easy with tweezers. Enjoy your videos sir and I'm glad to see families working together.

Chad the low fuel alarm should hook to the air horns and give it a dueling banjos pattern.... LOL

I am so amazed at how much you understand with systems and wiring. This is an extremely complex build.

Can’t wait to see/hear the ‘low on fuel’ warning! Love your work!

A fuel warning for Matt: A cherry pie drops in front of the drivers chair outside the windshield. Possibly a hologram, although a pie on a string would be very kewl.

"Real Men of Genius" that's Chads Fab. Another good video. I'm sure you will come up with a great idea for fuel alarm.

Put a shocking device in the seat that shocks Matt when he is low on fuel.

Man I admire your guys ability to do all this wiring. Ive been doing some harness's for side x sides and cant keep my stuff looking half that neat. Not to mention I waste allot of wire making sure stuff is long enough,

Low fuel alarm air horn with electric shock deals in the seat just enough to get us attention lol

There is almost as much engineering in the wrecker itself as you guys have in building brackets, designing the wiring harnesses several times for each stage... of use, adding all the extra items that have been added over time, upgrading the wiring sizes, different plugs with larger contacts, adding wires to existing looming, building & laying out the gauges, switches, lights with brackets, building the center console, clearancing brackets, building safty shields. Plumbing the air tanks after mounting them & the compressors, Adding rubber boots to lugs & the list goes on & on. Very few people would think things out so thoughtfully, Taking Matts Wrecker to a whole new level of fit, form & function! ❤ Amazing how professional all your work has been! Wish I had your knowledge & ability!

For the "Low Fuel" alert, Put a Neumatic Jack under the center of the driver's seat.

Bishop and sons, I am swiftly becoming a bigger fan with each video. TY for the wholesome family content.

Led light that lights the whole cab up inside red should work

The amount of confidence and skill you guys have to do this job is incredible. You are a master of your craft and are amazing to watch.

Great Content 👍and Video 👍 Your attention to detail is very impressive, Chad, Family and Team Have a Great Day 👍 God Bless America 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸

Oh yea, Matt might be in for a surprise when he goes through the Sand Hollow tunnel. (Air horns will be too tall probably /unless the suspension is lowered )..😮

Connect fuel sending unit to flashing lights and a designated air horn. - disabling switch for the lights and horns needs to require the driver to get out of the vehicle. - also, what about wrapping the headers in that heat cloth stuff, to reduce the amount of radiant heat in that area?

When it's low on fuel sound the air horn. Can't ignore that lol

sirens and strobes are the only appropriate notifications to let matt know he needs gas

There is no way that work is not going to be piling in the door for Chad and it will be high in, top of the line stuff! I'm talking Riddler and SEMA. He is just too good and too diligent in what he does and now it's out there for all to see. Custom building at this level is not a common thing and he is uncommonly good at it.

Electrify the steering wheel. A quick shock we’ll get his attention! Like the pads that read your heart rate on a treadmill. 😂

You can get a little Ghostbusters siren piezo for fuel alarm. 🙂

“I need to noodle that before the cab goes on!” Chad you are a RU-vid treasure! Low fuel warning should be a Korban shout out.

If the horns go on the roof will it still clear the Sand Hollow tunnel?

I worked in a wood mill manufacturing doors and window frames and other things , I found a pair if tweezers with a magnifying glass on them for digging out such slivers.

Its funny how those little things that goes into your hands how it can bother you so much lol and the 2 glasses had me rollin lmao

This thing is going to have so many gauges. Matt's going to feel like he's driving a 747.

I have a problem with where you put the air solenoids, if for some reason one of them goes bad you are going to have to pull the cab to replace it

Your thought for the day reminded me of my motto during 30 years of firefighting and EMS ..”Be part of the Solution and not Part of the Problem”!

The chirp of crickets would be a great reminder😂

Old school tractors had a metal flag that dropped down directly in your line of sight through the windshield for low air warning. The new stuff has both a light and a buzzer. Due to the vintage of the wrecker, Matt needs the flag.

Fire the air horn if Matt runs out of gas.

When you get a sprinter that you can't see, just a spot of super glue on it . Then keep on keeping on. 😉

Great job guys. And this video was Corbin approved 😊. And please hookup the low fuel alarm to the air horns 😂😂😂. That will get his attention. That reminds me of my youth when we would rig a friends horn to his brake lights. He would step on the brakes and the horn would blow. Or even better hookup the low fuel sensor to the air horn so when he steps on the brakes the horn blows 😂😂😂. The devil 😈 in me. 😂😂😂

He needs a alarm the cities use starts off low , until it’s in the red , then full strength lol love you hiding stickers, and the wrecker is looking great 👍

All this wiring an airlines, solenoids etc that Chad is doing is very impressive! ... these are some of my favourite video's of the Off Road Wrecker series!1

for the low fuel audible alarm i suggest a late 80's early 90's VW key in seat belt chime for the low battery it is a 3 tone loop for low battery a nice reminder that plays a "song"

the amount of work you boys are doing to this wrecker is nuts. Getting this thing to this place from scratch has been a long road. You guys and Matts team has done an amazing job on this thing. I wish I had teams like you guys have.. My builds are super slow because its just one man team here.
