EdsTowing Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 This customer said they were stuck for 6hrs trying to get it out...I told her next time, just make the call... They stopped when they got close to the tree... Easy job, just had to stay away from the shitty fiberglass body panels... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derlyn Z Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Nice little job. I think I would have tried something before 6 hours were up! I wonder how many miles they put on trying to get out. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many miles they put on trying to get out. LOL! Very true...we get on scene and the tires will be all tore up...will probably need a transmission in a few days...LoL. We brought a late model Super Duty dump in the other day from one of our customers. They got stuck and bored until they ripped the axle shafts in half.... We replace the shafts on both sides and do all the seals & brakes ect... Then when my guy pulls the front cover to service the differential while it's there and finds the teeth broken off of the pinion gear as well! So now, back apart and overhaul the complete rear... It was like $6000 when we were done...to save a 300 winch out? Been running Fords since 1986...I have only seen the front axle blown up like this once before which was 3 years ago for the same company...

Bushwacker Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Damn gotta love it! Made the winch out & tow money plus the R&R on the axels! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Instead of making the call, they often make it much worse. That can then results in a higher cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
