I have so many questions and suggestions. First suggestion, look into a webasto system. It draws from your diesel at a rate of 1 gallon every 24 hours but it heats your coolant and recircs it through your engine while it's not running. Makes it do much easier to start. It also will heat the cab through a single blower that you could run to the van or divert to the cabin. It puts off so much heat it melted a back pack of mine. You'll sweat in there at minimal fuel. Look into it bud. That's what us truck drivers use. You don't have to let anything run, saving on fuel and get the most out of the fuel you have. Game changer for someone like you and you'll always have wood as a backup cuz you'll never need to use it. It'll get so warm you can't stand it but it is adjustable

He is not being honest. It WAS NOT -60F degree. Had it been I doubt that his truck would even start. The -60 claim was the windchill. Windchill IS NOT temperature. If the windchill is a -60 with a 55MPH wind, then the actual low temperature would have been a -20F degrees. If the actual temperature would have been a -60 with a 55MPH wind, then the windchill would have been -118.
@charlesb4267 4 місяці тому
@@JohnSmith-ug5ci Exactly, although yes he did read what the weather report said and I see this happening a lot in videos from the lower 48 with people exclaiming how cold it was when in fact it was wind chill being regurgitated from the tv as the actual low. Some people don't grasp the difference and just blurt out the lower number because that propaganda stuck in their head. I have to wonder how many trucks even take the risk and move if its a true -60 and windy on top of that, the risk of things going wrong would be great and certainly no one would be turning off their engines. There is a reason why they rig trucks up that go on that road and other arctic roads with coolant hoses that route into and back out of the fuel tanks to keep the diesel temps up so it won't start crystallizing/jelling. Don't get me wrong, -20 with a a 55 mph wind would be nasty and potentially deadly to put it lightly.

Its what I have lived around all my life as in a rural farming area and gravel roads vastly outnumber the distance of pavement around here. Never mind that they spread gravel chips on the icy paved roads in the cities where I am and can get a broken windshield very easily. Get a star burst hit or even a chip on a windshield in the wrong place and when it gets colder and are using the defrost, the glass heats up unevenly causing forces and like clock work the crack zips across the lower portion of the windshield.

First time watching your videos, the power stroke drew me in tbh 🤣 I used to work on them in a performance shop and you made a good point about starting, people have issues because they have worn out parts on there (starter, injectors etc) one thing I’d recommend if you don’t have one already is a fuel lift pump, will really help the longevity of the fuel system by making your main fuel pumps life a lot easier especially with the constant weight of your camper, also keeps water out of your fuel system which can be death to a diesel. Glad to see you’re putting diesel kleen in that old girl too 👍🏼

I remember an old Cadillac with a wood stove in it. The tough ones were those that cycled up to Prudhoe. Enjoyed the video.

The best way to not lose your fuel cap is to leave it on the pump rather than the vehicle. As you said, putting a chain on it would work. Also, buying two might have been a good idea so you have a spare.

Every time you get diesel ask the gas attendant if they have any lost and found caps. Chances are they will say yes. Collect a few for time you forget. Or buy one with the plastic ring that connects onto the end of your gas insert.

-60F was with the windchill, not the actual temperature. Windchill is how cold it "feels" on exposed skin (which people have little of at those temps). I'm curious to know what the actual temp was. Cold for sure though!
@crazybill49 4 місяці тому
WInd chill applies to the effect of the environment on exposed skin. If the wind was 30 mph then the actual temp was -25 degrees. Cold enough but -60 sounds more dramatic.

You are absolutely right Daniel. That is the definition of wind chill. I have been in those conditions and can say that it demands the utmost respect. An unprepared person can be quickly overwhelmed and even someone who thinks they are prepared can get into trouble fast. I enjoyed the video and think that your decision to turn around was brilliant. I wish other you tubers were as smart or honest in their videos....
