@loganwatts7635 Год назад

Hey Matt, mopar dealer tech here. You had the right idea with trying to get the trans out of park but that park release lever is spring loaded so trying to keep it released the way you were doing it is difficult. Those transmissions with the turn dial shifter are fully electronic and will only shift out of park by turning shift knob if the engine is running. That cable that you popped off the trans is the manual park release cable and it runs up into the cab. There is a square panel to the left of the steering wheel and underneath the headlight knob. If you pop that cover off there is an orange loop of rope attached to a plastic housing sitting horizontally. Using a small screwdriver or something you release the lock and pull the rope out until it locks in the released position and it takes the trans out of park

@flyingcrocodile4630 Год назад

A helpful suggestion. Mechanical issues aside. In ridge top recoveries you need to get the tow rope set up so that 100% of the energy is pulling the vehicle uphill rather than into the hill. When there are no conveniently located big tree trunks to which a snatch block can be attached high up on a strong trunk (to change the pulling direction to an uphill direction) an old trick is to place a spare wheel (on edge & in line with the rope pulling direction) on the crest with the rope running over the top of the wheel so that the wheel will role with the rope as you pull. This will (for short 3-4 foot bursts) provide the needed change of direction for the pulling direction. You will need to reset the wheel back to the crest two or three times (to maintain the vertical pull direction) as the towed vehicle makes its way up the slope. The bigger the wheel the better. A rim though smaller (requiring more sets) will help prevent the rope rolling off the top of the tyre when it gets to the side wall. It is also great at getting vehicles up out of bogs when suction needs to be broken. YAW

I found you guys' channel by chance because of a shout out on superfastmatt's Death Valley flood video from August 10th. Thank you for the work you do. Back around 1988 my husband and I were tooling around in the forests in the western side of the Sierra Nevadas in his 4wd pickup. He tried driving through logging truck ruts after the rain...we barely got out of one deep enough to let water in the doors. A while later we were up above the snowline and this time got stuck on a jeep trail. Wheelbase was a little long for the terrain and we were unable to move. Really remote place, too. We wondered what we would do, when some dude with a short wheelbase jeep or bronco type vehicle with a warn winch and a vanity plate containing the word "hero" rolled up the hill and stopped to pull us out. Remember, no cell phones back then, and we were in wilderness anyhow. So this guy dragged us out of the bad spot and refused payment. Truly a hero. We got the chance to pay it forward a couple years later when we were up way above Paradise CA in the snow, and found a couple whose pickup had broken down. We had no winch but we gave them a ride in our truck back down the mountain to civilization so they could make arrangements to retrieve their vehicle. Been long years since those adventurous days and I miss the West (I've lived in Wisconsin over 25 years) but I sure like seeing folks like you helping others.

@cheneylooper2259 Год назад

Matt, you might also want to consider adding a sturdy A-frame apparatus to your equipment. Basically, you'd put it under the winch cable to provide some upward lift. I've used them with great success in winching heavy vehicles over obstacles, out of mud holes, etc. One even 5' tall provides a huge amount of leverage. You could mount it to the roof for transporting it.

@zuegma666 Год назад

What I find helps in recoveries like that when you are trying to pull someone back over a crest, it to use a spare tire. Stand it upright on the crest on the side where the stuck vehicle is and run the rope over the top. That way you get an element of lift on the stricken vehicle and you rope doesn’t dig into the top of the hill like a cheese wire

Hope he sees your comment so he can add it to his bag of tricks.

@@willrector9716 That was after they arrived. Also putting fuel in it costs money and no sensible company owner is going to put fuel into someone else’s vehicle just to pull it.

I can't believe you got them out that way. I was yelling at my screen to winch them down the hill instead of pulling them up it. I learned something about the parking break lever. Thank you.

@bernieshort6311 Год назад

Well whatever difficulties you face Matt, you always overcome them, everyone safe and sound so all’s good that ends well. I was surprised you kept your patients waiting for help so that was a bonus 😉

Thanks for the "behind the scenes" information. This is where electronics can (and does) cause frustration...

Nice job figuring it out, Matt! That was scary when you finally got it popped out of park and it jumped back. Glad everything worked out!

You guys are awesome, never a dull moment...I love these videos..Matt is hilarious and I love the outtakes at the end...so funny...nice arm skeeter, that was great throw....thank goodness for being able to call in a friend..great video

Matt, to get a non-running RAM with a dial gear selector into neutral, use a flat tool to open the Manual Park Release access cover which is just below the Electric Park Brake switch (below and to the left of the steering column). Press the brake and pull on the orange strap until it locks into place. Now you’re out of park! No getting under the truck. No phone chargers as tie downs. Love your channel. PS, it’s in the manual… 🙂

Please lord Jesus bless these amazing people and their loved one's . AMEN !!!!

Fantastic work Matt! Great tips here in the comments for next time as well. Honest question, would putting a few gallons of fuel in it not have been a decent option? Probably be hard to get it to prime in that situation maybe?

Can't wait for smokey mountain jeep invasion. I never thought younall would come close enough to where I live to meet you. I will definitely be seeing you all there. Hope you bring the nugget!!

@PaddyBoy644 Год назад

Lay a canvas tarp under the winch rope, set it up as a double line pull, choke all the wheels on the Jeep and give it a small amount of slack then play with the truck to see if it’s rolling. You could use another truck as a anchor and he could of brought a key cam with some diesel to try and fire that truck up? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Great video as always plus I’ve only just seen the video on your court case it’s good to see it worked out ok in the end Matt👍🏻

Where did Skeeter come from anyway? He is awesome, and just showed up out of nowhere with no story. He is chill when asked to do things, and very capable, plus adds some comic relief.

@makeitwork583 Год назад

Matt, would it be possible to build a heavy duty tripod (maybe 24”-36” high) with a pulley on top. Then you could run your winch cable over it at the edge of the drop and gain that vertical pull you need? It would also stop your line from getting buried, and lessen the wear on the cable and kinetic ropes. Be well.

@kysersoze3632 Год назад

Even an old car wheel with no tyre on might help

@Hybris51129 Год назад

I think that just finishing the heavy wrecker would fill that role but if that wasn't a option this isn't a bad idea either at least in my mind.

@graememckay9972 Год назад

Matts always on about weight reduction. He doesn't carry fuel, compressor or tools so a heavy tripod has no chance for a once in a blue moon job.

@makeitwork583 Год назад

@@graememckay9972 yeah, I hear you. I was thinking of a hinged unit, but it would be heavy. You have to admit, a little extra fuel could have saved a whole lot of head ache on this job. Such a hard balance to strike I would imagine, as far as what you need to take most. Be well.
