Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! Today, I another opportunity to test out our new 2024 Western Star 49X with a Miller Industries, Century 9055XL. The 9055XL is a 50 ton integrated (non-rotating) 3-stage boom. The XL is for Extra Long reach and has the same capacity as the standard 50T 3-stage. A customer calls us after one of their trucks went into "derate" mode. This is so common now with all the emissions regulations that the government has forced upon us. I would guess that 75% of our towing is emissions related issues. Anyway, simple tow, but a beautiful day to take the new truck out for a little "test drive", and get out of the office for a bit...LOL. So far, I am loving this truck and what it can do!!! Thank you, God, for blessing our family and our business. Watch as we continue to receive God's blessings. There is much more to come!!! I hope you enjoy this video!!!
We have a difficult and dangerous job and we take it very seriously, that doesn't mean we can't have fun and enjoy our work. We strive to be polite, professional, efficient, and safe...and still can have fun. I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

My common analogy, "there are many ways to reach 10". I could have approached this (any) job several different ways. The approach method is important, but more important is achieving the desired result, safely.
Again, a very special thank you to all my viewers, family, and friends who having taken the time to show their support. May God bless and protect you all!!!

We're thinking of you Ethan... Get better and please take care of yourself... pneumonia is very serious and nothing to play around with...! We need you!!!

@yafois988 5 месяцев назад

Absolutely yes lets pray for him, and KEEP prating for him. And Ron & Crew safety. Shalom

@stuarthardy4626 5 месяцев назад

yes its not good , Ethan take it easy I had it five times when I was 5 years old just at the time when they started using penicillin , remember getting out of bed and not being able to walk . a couple of years ago Linda got out of bed and collapsed in a heap called out the "Care Bears " ( ambulance ) and she spent 5 days in hospital just about able to walk with a zimmer frame ,took her about a month to feel somewhat OK , but it took us both 3 months to get over covid , Its a good day when you wake up and get out of bed feeling OK at 77 years old 😀 plus the fact that we both have had a brush with the big C but we are both in remission Linda has been that way for 20 years keep up the videos always a good view

Talking to yourself is fine. Losing an argument with yourself might be time to seek help

@KnightRanger38 5 месяцев назад

I always say that if you get into a violent argument with yourself you need to seek help. Nowadays I suspect many people seeing someone "talk to themselves" might just assume that person is talking on a phone using a bluetooth device they might not be able to see.

I hope Ethan is feeling better. My husband had pneumonia once and ended up in the hospital. Again hope all is well. God bless.

@coypatton3160 5 месяцев назад

Prayers for Ethan’s quick recovery. In my early 20’s I had a touch of pneumonia, that turned into an upper lung infection (this all under medical care). It took me almost a full year to get my lung capacity back. I was big into cycling in those days frequently doing 50+ mile rides. During that period, 15 miles had me exhausted, slowed recovery as well. Now granted that was 40 years ago and medical care has improved.

@alanstant9356 5 месяцев назад

Everything has a flaw and you found it with no way of telling when your PTO is engaged Ron. That could have been bad but you caught it tho. Very awesome truck there with all of its features on it. God Bless you guys and hope Ethan is feeling better soon.

@markfergerson2145 5 месяцев назад

Nothing wrong with showing us the more mundane jobs. The unusual ones involving hills, long distances over muddy terrain, high weight, hazardous materials, nasty weather or your Arc Nemesis are fun to watch you plan and execute but most of what all of us do is repetitive work that reinforces basic skills. Glad you caught the PTO being on. Breaking Ethan’s truck while he’s sick would be hard to explain. Just goes to show that learning the quirks of any new vehicle is part of the break in process for the operator.

@timmelvin9492 5 месяцев назад

I'm glad you like the new truck, Ron. Are you going to take it over from Ethan, lol? I know you wouldn't do that, though. You have had the rotator too long & and you're comfortable with it. Hope Ethan gets better soon. I know he misses with the trucks. You all needed this truck. It fills a hole that was missing but didn't know was missing. It's good to have another heavy recovery unit rather than just a 35-ton tow truck. You got a 50-ton towing AND recovery unit

Your Australian slang is on point, Ron! We have three models in the Western Star X-Series - the 47X and the 49X are the same as what you get in the States but we also have an Australia specific model in the 48X. All of the Australian X-Series trucks have Detroit power except the 47X which has a Cummins L9 alongside the DD13 Gen 5

@shed66215 5 месяцев назад

Weird seeing the truck lockers/boxes being devoid of extra straps, D-rings and 'bug juice', oh and the fact that it is still (at least for now) clean

@proehm 5 месяцев назад

I really like the tool/parts drawers. That kind of organization is a real productivity booster... I would think the PTO engaged with brakes released alarm is something that should be (have already been) done in the wrecker body's software

As for people wondering who the crazy tow guy is talking to, do what Everything Auto from east Tennessee did and put a decal on the trucks with the RU-vid logo and your RU-vid Channel.

Morning Ron,interesting video as usual. I would imagine #18 will allow you to extend the working life of the rotator, and give a better maintenance schedule as well! Stay safe,God Bless! BTW glad Ethan is ok! Tell him for me,a broken down trucker,who grew up on a dairy farm,Don't abuse or take for granted your body or health! I'm paying the price now! Be smart pay attention to you body, don't abuse it! Take care God Bless! Your future is bright young Sir!

Have you had or seen tow trucks that can be crept on their wheels using a remote with no one in the drivers seat. They are in Australia but the only ones I have seen are tilt trays. It is only used to position the towing vehicle prior to hook up.

@adairwilkinson6916 5 месяцев назад

Ron, your vids are the highlight of my RU-vid week!! I always feel that you are talking directly to me, although obviously you aren’t!! Don’t worry about folks thinking you’re talking to yourself.

@curtisziegler3934 5 месяцев назад

Ron I don’t mind the talking, I didTowing for a while and I think it’s perfectly normal. I have been on certain Tow Jobs and have had to talk to my self to make sure I hook up properly. I remember when my dad got his first new truck, it was a 75’ Ford F350 With a 390 V8 it had a Wreckmaster Twin 8 Ton he loved that truck but it had 1 problem with the rear hubs Ford Made a Mistake on it they put bolts to hold the rear axles on to the hubs instead of studs and the bolts kept breaking. Finally my dad got Ford on the phone and told them about the problem and they also had to replace the one hub because of it. He finally got all of the new studs and nuts for it and replaced them, never had the problem again. Also my dad and myself did something a little crazy , he had to go and Tow a Single Axle Diamond T from New London Connecticut to West Paterson New Jersey with a 1 Ton F350 and he was Successful with it, some years later I Towed a Single Axle White Truck with a One Ton C30 Chevrolet with a 4ton Nomar Back from Brooklyn NY to Paterson NJ . Lucky I Had The Push Bumper On The Front to hold the front of the truck to the road.

Yep. A servo, which used to be a service station, but of course, no one gives service anymore. You have to serve yourself, so we just call it a petrol station, which over there you would call it gas.

Well Sir Ron.. Another Awesome video with a nice shiny Western Star…. As a former OO with a ’93MackCH613 I was surprised it was down…. My Bulldog is just 500 miles short of a million when forced by CARB (CA EPA) to be sidelined for good.. In 20+ years it NEVER ever broke down and needed a tow.. never! Been watching you & your team a few years, & was surprised that you didn’t connect an airline to actuate the Mack’s brake system. Or did I miss anything Ethan is a credit to you and your training. May he follow on in your 👍 excellent footsteps for many years.. get well, Ethan-God Bless MWT

Pepe's towing service out of LA California, has a 2014 (i think) tow truck for sale..it looks just like the Western star,fully equipted,turn key ready to start work, all equiptment on board..the price was 325,000 thousand dollars...you once said those trucks run around 750 thousand...just thought i;d throw that information out there,he advertised this on his channel..

@driftinso 5 месяцев назад

Didn't see any cable hookup of tow truck's lights to light bar? How does that work? Also, just curious, if you don't mind me asking? How much for new Western Star? I'm going to say 560,000.

@user-ln7of9gs4s 5 месяцев назад

Ron, is there a reason why you prefer the 18 speed? I’m surprised you didn’t opt for the Allison RDS 4700. It would make that wrecker move. It’s the 7 speed, the first gear is really low. You can pull anything with out ripping the drive shaft out. Also curious what made you go with the Cummins over the Detroit?

@MrProach2 5 месяцев назад

Talking to yourself (and us!) in these solo situations makes for good video work. In a training situation it also help to explain to a student/learner exactly what you are doing. "Show & tell" is the term, I believe!

@Blue84Stang 5 месяцев назад

So... Regarding the PTO... From the little I've looked into it, some of the newer transmissions (particularly the Ford super duty/bare chassis) have what they call 'LiveDrive' or a way to keep the PTO engaged at low vehicle speed. Not entirely sure what the advantage would be, but it is a thing that exists. As I understand it, it will automatically disengage the PTO once any of the needed conditions is no longer present (vehicle not in park, speed over a set amount, engine too hot, etc).
