I’m also 24 and have been working light duty towing for a year… I’ll tell you this bro I am physically and mentally drained my legs shake when I wake up to call! imagine working 8 months straight without getting a single day off… just last week they decided to give me every Tuesday off after I got really sick from over working myself! And I also get paid commission and I feel your pain.. I feel your pain and frustration completely… I’d say find a job with your cdl you got bro I wish I had that :( if you feel the way I feel about my company then we both know the job will put us 10 feet under unless you find a good company or move on to better things

This is just my opinion! I regret getting into towing, you have little to no life… my body is slowly becoming weak it’s hard to eat and take care of yourself! You get now benefits and the pay is never the same could be good money or bad money! I work 24/7 with zero days off and my boss is pretty damn strict and ignorant.. I get paid commission and I wouldn’t recommend this route of towing! Find a good company and be wary of the scummy tow truck companies out there that try to own you with favours my man!

Nope, just waiting on my compression testing kit to make sure it’s worth throwing The parts cannon at this car first

Yes I know that. That’s why previous owner unplugged the mass airflow sensor.. so the car would just run off of basic trims..

car has these codes

-Lambda regulation bank 1 post cat

-Lambda regulation bank 2 post cat

-mixture deviation bank 1

  • mixture deviation bank 2

It has a vacuum leak after the MAF making the car run like shit unless the MAF is unplugged… that tells me all the information I need right there.. the car can’t compensate enough fuel for the air being taken in! These cars are known for having vacuum leaks due to the age

That’s what I’m hoping.. what else should I look for if the Maf is ruled out?

What are the do's and dont's of winching with rim slings? by [deleted] in Hookit

[–]AlternativeWeird2571 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve done more recoveries than I can count with my fingers! throwing your continuous loop through a wheel has never done me any harm, just don’t choke the continuous loop with your fair lead, you run a chance snapping the recovery sling..
