It took a long time but we finally had a half way decent snow storm. I love plowing snow and I was getting bored! The skid loader plow did its job, Bugs and Jade showed up for work and it really wasn't bad at all. Enjoy
People who don’t like cold and snow, could probably never understand, but snow clearing is a very rewarding job to those people who enjoy dealing with it. I use a large wheelhorse tractor, with a heated cab, and electric chute rotation and deflection, it’s relaxing with a sense of accomplishment when you are finished. 👍
@@shanebryant6478 I enjoy the warm too, that’s why I have a big heater in my cab, lol 😂 can actually do my driveway in shirtsleeves, and I have a large driveway. 😁 I’ve been modifying it for years, getting lazier, and lazier. 👍
@@CrownedGamer. I can understand if you are doing it for a living, but for personal work it’s rewarding to me, gets me outta the house, and I enjoy tweaking my tractor. I have done some professionally, and dealing with homeowners can make it a lot less fun. And if you read what I said, it’s for those who enjoy doing it, doing something you don’t enjoy is never going to be rewarding. Hopefully you are doing something now you enjoy, it makes life a lot easier. 👍
having plowed that property for over a decade, i'd be happy you left all the free salt. same with that drive thru. been there, done that. thx for sharing
@@Bsnowman22 That's hilarious 😂 him and his cold hands tried taking the blower heater outside while he washed the truck that had me crackin up! Kid lives in Wisconsin he's gotta get used to it lol
It’s a nice touch and helps us snow plow workers work efficiently when we plow the roads. I hate to do it sometimes but it’s easier like you said to maintain driveway approach to keep clean. I haven’t been bother either with my areas but definitely the city plows appreciate it too.
Hey Ryan, the reason the glow plugs don't stay on very long is on new common rail diesels they have such high injection pressure and superior spray on the injectors that they light off a lot easier than the old lower pressure injectors. My work semi doesn't even have a wait to start glow plug light, you just start it and it seems to fire up. Almost identically whether it's 0° or 95 °.
@@MrThatnativeguy Man you are so freakin tough for braving those negative temperatures. Tell me more about how much harder life is for diesel engines in your neck of the woods....
Ryan, the glow plugs on the new truck stay on a lot longer than that light. Watch your voltage gauge to tell when they turn off before starting on cold days. It’ll make the glow plugs last longer.
thankful to see a new video!!!!!! This has become my nightly routine. I work for the largest util company in the plains area in the network operations center.. basically staying awake until midnight.. your videos are amazing, and often time carry a message i need to hear. thank you for being a great role model
Hi to Bugs and Jade! Great to see them both. I think Jade was initially kinda nervous that she wasn't driving with her dad but as usual, the more you talk to her (dogs in general) the less nervous they are. Our dog can be a real Nervous Nelly now that he's getting up in age, but if I sit and talk to him (it's just him and I these days since my daughter's grown up and moved out and on with her life and career) he settles down. I firmly believe that if dogs are particularly bonded to their human, hearing their voice is comforting. Whether this is right or not in this case, it was great to see both Bugs and Jade. Sure miss seeing them over the winter. Heather🇨🇦
Your comment about the condos was spot on. I did one of them a few years ago and that was the only year, people complaining because their driveway wasn't the first one done. Not worth the headache of dealing with those types of people.
Tip for you when your sitting and idling your truck if you push the e brake down 1 click then press set on the steering wheel for cruise control your truck will high idle around 1000 rpm. It will warm up faster and is better for the engine to idle a little higher.
Awesome video Ryan. I work for my states DOT. Plowing and salting the roads is my favorite part of my job. I also own two pickup trucks with plows and salt spreaders. My son and I also operate a lawn service. We plow 35 driveways and 4 commercial parking lots. I go out and plow after my shift and help my son. My father had an asphalt paving business he started back in 1962 and he plowed snow for winter income. Dad had a 1979 Ford F-250 back when I got my drivers license. He would finish his route and any extra calls he got for plowing were mine to do. I always liked when it was a snow day. I made good money back then. Snow is in my blood …!
I gotta say man, i watch so many blue collar workers doing different trades on RU-vid, you are the only person other than the dirt money that I would actually love to work for. You just have so much knowledge and are so humble, I’m sure you’re such a great boss. Happy to see you and your company doing good in the snow. Good luck in 2023
Love the video with Bugs and Jade, love the snow, but I'll keep my south Texas weather. You are right your popularity does reach other contractors. Workers like you and your crew are what we can immediately identify . We are all blue collar workers who grind it out for a living. Thank You Ryan for this channel.
@@austinreeves5221 we are all hard working Americans no matter what we're doing. Keep the Data flowing. I'm a construction Safety Manager presently at the border wall.
Ryan. Great video! The glowplugs on a duramax use the exterior temperature to dictate how long they should be running. They also cycle after when the ignition is running dependant on combustion temp etc. Your truck also has a DEF tank heater that works based on the same concept. Hope that helps. The noise you're hearing is not normal, in 4x4, I would take a video of it for the dealer. I have owned many duramaxes since they came out.
whining noise is NOT a normal occurrence when 4wd Auto is on. This goes back to GMT800 with the introduction of the AutoTrac Transfer cases and Auto 4wd. Are you using Auto 4wd or manually switching to 4-lo or 4-hi? Its possible the axle has straight cut gears within, but unlikely. Also possible whine from going "too fast" in 4-lo
Thank you for the info I have a 2008 DRW 4x4. Some mechanics say glo plugs don’t worry. Just crank it up. But. I usually half turn then crank after a few seconds. Don’t know if that is right but would like. A better insight info on it. Thanks. TIA. MICHELE Greenville Fl. 😊😊
Ryan, I enjoyed this video. I love snow, but here in East Tennessee we don't get much snow anymore. It was soothing to see the snow. Buggs and Jade are great to see anytime. Buggs is a great loyal employee that you can always count on, and trust to do things on his own. Even if Jade got in the seat of your new truck with snow all over her. She's a great dog!!!
Hey Ryan! Im taking a diesel diagnosis class currently. For the glow plugs being on so short is because of the newer trucks they have different ways of heating up the cylinder. If it's from adding less il under the piston to changing the timing of the injectors or even throwing exhaust gases back into the cylinder. Older diesel have a pump line nozzle designs which cant adjust injector timing just injector pressure. The newer ones have a common rail which can do that. It also has to do with the fact that they're more complex and can heat up quicker and depending on the temperature either stay on longer or shorter. Hope this helps a little bit.
Stay safe bro. I love your videos keep up the good work. Praying for you and your family and coworkers. I hope you guys have a great 2023 year. I've been watching every video since day 1.
Hey man I'm a Diesel Tech in Rockford IL. If that truck is still under warranty take it in and have that transfer case checked out. Definitley not normal for it to be sounding like that. Love your channel my guy and been watching since 2020.
I don’t know how… but you make the most simple things interesting. To us who’ve never seen that side of the world it’s very amusing. Keep doin your thing man!
If you Will put both Visors Down - when you turn on your defroster it will push the Air back down and cause the windows to Defrost Faster, I used wind shield washer fluid 1 gallon pour 1/2 into another gallon jug, take a bottle of rubbing alcohol and pour 1/2 into each gallon jug and buy a bottle of Rain-X and pour 1/2 into each jug - Shake- then put 2 oz. Of Dawn soap, in each jug and fill with more windshield fluid- shake one more time- and fill tank under hood, Believe me - it works Great, the alcohol keeps it from freezing, the soap helps with the bugs, and the Rain-X helps with the Rain. I was a Long haul trucker for 20 years- it works- Good Luck 🍀
For anybody confused about why the young guy at the window wanted Ryan to move to a parking spot when there was nobody behind him. These fast food restaurants have a time frame they aim to have cars moved on by, usually 20 seconds or so. So if they know you’re order will take more than 20 seconds to prepare you’re moved so it looks like they’ve hit their target to any bosses or so watching footage of the store of giving you your food within 20 seconds - even though they actually haven’t. My old partner used to work in McDonald’s and told me this
I live in the Rockies. If you have a light powder snowfall, use a leaf blower to move it off your trucks. It’s quick work. Even my battery powered blower will move it. I saw my neighbor doing it two years ago and thought he was nuts. Then I tried it.
I’m a general manager at McDonald’s and that’s exactly why we will pull you. We are being judge based off of performance. It will continue to be that way with the direction fast food is going. Gotta love and respect the kid doing his job properly. The timer is from a company called HME
Ryan you are a true jack of all trades!.. the way you explained you going through the area before the plows came through was just another example of your exemplary workmanship.. I love your videos .. keep it up VICTORY STYLE!
The stuff Ryan seems too catch on video is priceless. The ford sliding in too the ditch. Then the dump truck locking up its brakes too stop at the light
We have a very similar truck at work with the same boss plow. The plow is always a pain to line up. We have a slide out step on the side for when you need to get into the bed to move salt. Make sure you grease the bed pins really really good because they rust really fast
Good morning Ryan I am just warming up my plow. Have a awesome day Ryan sending love from Ontario canada from my family to yours. Terry Bob Ontario canada 🇨🇦
I live in South Dakota, we have similar winters. What happened at 9:02 with the truck spinning out happened to me once. I was driving slow, I barely moved the steering wheel and I went spinning😂 I’m glad I was the only idiot on the road at that time.
Yes sir! Glowplugs on modern diesels only needs a few seconds. Alot of people in modern common rail diesels dont even realise the glow light comes on it goes out that quick
If you ever have issues with snow sticking to your plow or even anywhere you don't want snlow sticking get a can of Pam cooking spray works amazing I use to use it on my ATV plow love the videos
IM PUTTING THIS IN BOLD SO YOU SEE THIS. im sure someone has commented this already. but you should absolutely love the way that plow hooks up, you should NOT be fighting with it. you should drive in (as long as your straight) and it should go right on. ive dealt with this in the past. ive owned a ton of boss plows, if your hole is not the correct height off the ground you will have the exact issue you have where it wont line up properly. i kow the required height for the smaller dxt and vxt (8.2 and 9.2') plows is around 15.5-16" im assuming your plow is the 10ft boss, which has different height requirements. if i remember correctly the center of the holes on your mount should be 16.5" from the ground. its very easy to adjust. let me know if you have any other questions.
I work in the ND oilfields and i cant remember a single time we had problems starting our heavy equipment in the severe cold... especially our bobcat. People will leave it outside in -25* and it'll fire right up. Obviously It isn't good for engine and hydraulics but you gotta do what you gotta do.
1981 my family bought a gas station.. The first week it snowed 16 ft.. I had to weld extend the boom 3ft on a 8end Ford tractor making piles higher then our buildings.. BC 🇨🇦
9:53 i had that same thing happen to me. nobody behind you at the drive and they want to make you move up ????????????? just because they dont want their boss or boss bosses see that they are slow at giving order out lol
I always tell my sidewalk guys if the lot are clean dump snow somewhere else not on lot where it was just plowed …if lots not plowed sure push snow there …great video
@@Leotheconstructionguy Highly doubt that. The two Daryl’s are a big reason this channel grow beyond concrete lovers. I’d be SHOCKED if Ryan fired Daryl, he makes him too much money. It would have had to be something pretty bad. I don’t think that’s the case as the boys were surprised when they found out Daryl wasn’t going to Vegas the day they left. Prob some “personal” issue going on in Daryl’s life.
@@Leotheconstructionguy haha. Not new, I understand Daryl has his many ” issues” however it’s those exact “issues” which are making Ryan more money then he’s ever made in his life. I’ve owned multiple contracting businesses for over 25 years, I know app. what his construction Co is making him. I also know what this YT channel is making him, trust me he LOVES Daryl’s “issues”. Have you not noticed how much money Ryan has been spending in the last year? You think he found that money under a rock? He’s making more money on YT now that his channel has gone “mainstream” then he ever thought possible. There is absolutely no way Daryl was fired (unless he did something beyond money, etc) which just doesn’t make sense given the videos and conversations. I’m sure we’ll find out eventually.
@@theacgkid awesoome, from what we can see in these videos Ryan seems like a great guy, Dad, Boss, etc. I love to see good things come to good people. That being said, let’s be honest, the Daryl’s had a HUGE part of Ryan’s YT channel hitting mainstream success. Cheers.
Hello from the UK. It's good to see your machines and attachments are safe being left at the big open parking lot. Sadly over here it would all be pinched by someone to sell on. Sad way of life. Keep up the good work. Love watching your videos. Entertaining but educational
Ryan lives in a somewhat small town where everybody knows each other so that's why. To put things into perspective, the most populous city in Wisconsin is Milwaukee which has about the same number of residents as Glasgow. The entire state of Wisconsin has over 3 million less people living in it than the city of London.
Anybody know what happened to Darrell and Darrell. I've been dying to know why they didn't go to world of concrete, but to my knowledge, Ryan hasn't said anything about it
Too long of a car ride for JR. And JR refuses to get on a plane. I don't think there is any bad reasons as to why they didn't go, they just didn't go. Bugs doesn't go either.
@@alxanderrodriguez460 i still think its jrs health , hopsfully NOT, but we cannot ignore his possible HEALTH ISSUES I AM 490LBS AND I AM SMALLER THEN JR,LETS HOPE HE IS OK...
Ryan was saying something happened and it seems like Darrell doesn't work with him anymore so that's why I'm curious. I don't think it would be jr's health. Jr went last year
I'm sure Daryll is around. Ryan has been a little slow posting these last 2 weeks with word of concrete. He's got his truck finished, mural finished and hasn't really posted anything worth having Daryll in it.
The newer deisel engines are high-pressure fuel systems. So the plugs don't need to be on long for it to start the truck. It's normal don't worry about it.
We have the same year Chevy, but a 3500, it does not make that noise at all. We’re 30 min down the road from you too in franksville, so conditions are not different by any means. I’d get it check out personally
My guess is the glow plugs gets sprayed with diesel and stay on even after the vehicle has started and ran for a set time or temperature where older diesels warm up the compression area to running temperature prior to starting. That is just my guess.
Fast food business is brutal. You get paid nothing and then get in trouble when you dont get people there food in under like 2min. That sensor hes talking about times how long it takes you to get your food. So to avoid getting in trouble they have to ask people to drive around or pull forward. Or people just have work arounds like driving there own cars through the line multiple times to get the avg. time down. me personally im more willing to wait more than 2min to get some fresh food.
