On today’s episode of Murphys Diesel, Wrecker Rick gets the kind of call every diesel mechanic dreams about — Zacklift International wants him to install their new Genesis towing unit on a massive 10×10 Oshkosh military truck. This isn’t a controlled shop environment either… this is real blue-collar work in the field.

Instead of a fully equipped fabrication shop, Rick loads up the family and heads out on a long road trip from Arizona to Washington, turning this job into a mix of family time, heavy equipment work, and life on the road. If you’ve ever lived that blue-collar lifestyle, balancing work and family while chasing opportunity, you’ll relate to this one.

Once he arrives, it’s go time. With limited tools, no lift, and nothing but a gravel parking lot, Rick takes on a full Zacklift Genesis install completely solo. This is what real mechanic life looks like — adapting, problem-solving, and making fabrication decisions on the fly. No shortcuts, no perfect conditions — just straight-up diesel mechanic hustle.

Working on a truck like the Oshkosh 10×10 military vehicle isn’t your average job. Between the size, weight, and complexity, every step requires experience in heavy wrecker builds, fabrication, and welding principles, even when you don’t have all your shop tools with you. This is the kind of real-world equipment testing Zacklift is looking for — not a lab setup, but boots-on-the-ground feedback from someone who lives the towing industry every day.

And in between all the wrenching, you’ll see what makes it worth it — the family riding along, the long highway stretches from Arizona into Washington, and those moments that remind you why the blue-collar grind matters.
