The fact that you continue to film and keep your cool is beyond me.. I would of flipped
Definitely a man to be admired eh? He's got the skills to do the work, I guess that helps him from losing it. I'd be freaking too lol
With a repair manual, no Google! I fix a lot of things that surprise me but Google has always been at my fingertips. Thankfully he had the fortitude to buy that manual.
it took some patience lol
I didn't have a repair manual or the internet lol;)
It feels wrong hitting the like button on a video where your going through so much grief, but I’ll do it anyway. I was rooting for ya to gettin it fixed on this one.
Good humans are few and far, but its nice to see them help ya out
Riigghhtt, it’s all about numbers for them though and Lord knows, this off grid Nomad nightmare deserves the UA-cam numbers game for effort. I even sat through the ads for him. This is sad, what a situation to be stuck in! Late risers or not, definitely model members of societies. Maybe just don’t bring so much booze up the hill on the one wheel.
hehehe
I'm so impressed at how resourceful you are. Very cool how the guys stuck with you to help, plus the detail guy.
Bro, what a show of long-suffering and determination. Motivated 🔥
Buy a small trail bike like a Yamaha XT250. Mount it on a front tow hitch carrier. Would make a great back up form of transportation (and fun for playing around too!)
Even better: an XT225. Smaller and lighter but not too small.
Many towns/counties these days it’s legal to drive a non plated vehicle to town to get gas/provisions, deep sockets etc. makes sense when their economy is based on the tourists with the side by sides, dirt bikes etc. Eagle, CO, and lots in Southern CO.
That's a great idea. 110 pit bike or whatever
@@iDropRocksillegal or not id have to take the risk if I were broke down for days.
Veteran Sherman electric unicycle- the size of luggage with 3200wh battery, 100 miles in range and 45mph top speed! He could keep it right in the back seat on the floor behind the driver seat
It really sucks when you get broken down but, it adds to the adventure. It's good to have friends around to help you out too. I hope you can get the truck 🚚 fixed soon.
That final turn of the key hurt my soul! I was really hoping to hear that diesel roll-over for you.
So bummed you missed stuff you wanted to do. But what an awesome human YOU are for sharing while this was going on. This whole trip would have had me giving up. Cheers Tim!
You are a very intelligent and determined man, you give me strength. Red rocks is beautiful, it will work.
thanks man
Timmy I am honestly sick for you. It's a bummer having to keep tearing the engine apart and replacing parts that are not the problem. You are handling it all so great, and that's the best way to do it. You will get it fixed soon one way or another. You have some great friends. Keep us informed, hoping all gets repaired very soon🙏🌟😎
*Bro ! You hang in there. Keep going and do what you can. You're going to have a completely overhauled F-250 Diesel engine running perfectly when you're done.*
Runs like A TOP now lol!
That is so scary to be broke down like that. You are a tough guy. That is my worst nightmare.
Beautiful place to be stuck with good people! I’m a gas man, just easier to work on. Good luck Timmy
That guy driving you would be a major hit on You Tube. He needs to start a channel as he is full of personality. Just love his energy.
You are great and I just subscribed to watch all your videos
Sheila Vancouver BC
He has a UA-cam channel haha, search Down2Mob Overland on UA-cam.
Love, love, love your videos Timmy. Don't love, love, love the fact that your truck house has broken down out in the middle of nowhere !!!!!
Nice weather. be shitty having to do that in cold wet rain or snow. The bright side is, that it brings some dramatic content and suspense that many can relate to and bring in more subs. This is real life stuff and can feel your pain.
So sorry Dude. My heart hurts for you. You got this.
look for a set of shower valve plumber sockets, you can get a set for around $20. Throw it in your tool box and you will never need it again.
The adventure continues! Wild and crazy times. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. My best adventures all came with major * honk * ups!! 👍😎🇨🇦🌲📷🔥
Dude those small town auto shops are so nice. My battery died in Fruita Colorado back in 2017 and on a Sunday morning they opened the shop and came in and switched it out for us. Through talking found out my husband was a mechanic, asked him for help with a few things like pushing other dead cars around the shop and stuff that takes a lot of muscle and then didn’t even charge us for labor. So nice of them.
Damn! I felt your pain when it wouldn’t start, I was on the edge of my seat! Well all ya can do is ride out this newest adventure, hope luck comes your way soon.
I’ve never donated money to a UA-camr before but I did tonight because I’ve watched many of your videos Timmy and I like your style. When you said you used to drive Samurais that really sealed the deal and won my heart! I have no doubts if roles were reversed that you’d be bending over backwards to help a friend in a similar situation. Safe travels and all the best brother, keep maintaining that vibe of yours
Really appreciate the support man! thank you, yup thinking about buying a samurai again before too long lol.
This video just made me go check the socket in my 7.3's travel kit and sure enough it doesn't fit all the way. You're suffering on video just saved me the same problem some day lol.
Side note, CNC Fab makes a 4 line fuel feed bowl delete setup that will open up a lot of room in that area and it makes a noticeable difference in starting, cold running, and even made my E99 idle quieter. Great simple upgrade for a stock or built 7.3 like mine. You will also have to add a filter back into the system obviously. I went with a FASS pump kit about 3 years ago and have had no issues so far. Absolutely sweet truck you have here, it's really motivated me to keep pushing progress on my camper shell build I'm doing with mine for extended fishing and hunting trips around the US.
NICE! That's why I make these videos!
We all feel your pain and are rooting for you bro! Thank God you have a lot of cool people willing to help you. All the best of luck with this situation man! Peace guys!
What fun, well this may have sucked but in 40 yrs you WILL remember this one, My friend and I was broke down in my dads big 4x4 up on the river and we just decided to stay, two girls in a camp , finally people figured out we didnt come back out when we were supposed to and people started bringing food and booze.. we got drunk and stayed a few more days.. week ended in a month lol .. we had a blast, back then there was no cell phones no gps no computers lol .. at night we would hear this huge bullfrog that told us it was time to build a fire, that was our entertainment.
What an epic! I hope you made it to Red Rocks.
I was hoping that was the issue 😳 darn it ! Good Luck 🍀 at the shop.
Hang in there, there are many rescue and recovery you tubers. Maybe it would mage a great collaboration? Good luck brother!
Tomorrow will be better.
I was always taught, make sure your getting spark, then make sure getting fuel, …… then branch out from there.
Man that really blows! Hope you get it fixed soon!
Hang in there, bud. At least you're in good company in a beautiful spot and not broken down on some highway. You'll get it figured out soon enough!
“I think it tastes better, but Idk” idk why that was my fav part lol
Cant wait! I ll be there with a few rolling rocks!
All the misery’s of a power stroke been there done that. Switched over to Duramax and I’m putting three and 400,000 miles on them before I trade them.
Like I tell my good buddy with his 7.3. Should of bought a Cummins/dodge. Man that's a tuff spot, you're handling it good.
Man that just really sucks being stuck out there in the middle of nowhere but you do have a game plan and that's that's great best of luck to you 😮😮😮
Nooo, when you were turning it over with 3mins left in the video, I thought for sure you had it, heartbroken for you. It’s a shame to have to have such a magical view, forever ruined for you cause you had to look at it too long. And thanks for putting the really ugly part of Nomad life out there! A lot of the newbies don’t think about all that goes into these stunning moments and what goes on when shit goes wrong, out in the middle of nowhere.
Shout out to all the people coming together to make this all happen for you because it really would have been a nightmare alone.
more to come lol...
7.3 psd - fuel check, open water outlet valve on fuel bowl while cranking over engine. Fuel should flow out...
Check #2- take off IPC electrical connection. (Sends idm into a map setting) truck will start but run funny.
If no fuel in bowl... Check tank fuel level and if dual tank diverter valve... Check fuel level in tank also.
Do not just think" oh, fuel pump is bad..." Do not over think the engine they are really simple. Cps, Fuel, ipc, ipr... Check engine oil level also...
lug nut, fixed it;)
@@TruckHouseLife fkin lug nuts….
What a bummer Tim, but keep the faith of getting it repaired, howdy from Arkansas!
Right about now,”home is the comfiest place to be” Good luck 👍
Great vid! Man, seeing a Teo burrito brought me back to when I used to work there! Almost brought a tear to my eye!
nice!
Timmy you are one hell of a guy Very handy and determined. I wonder if it’s the fuel pump. Wish good luck upon you. I know u are back here in AK but hope it all works out
I feel for you but I'm sure you will get this sorted. Hang in there, I'm confident that better days are just ahead !
Dude you have the best friends!
Great attitude, man. I can learn from that.
Hang in there, Tim. If you need help, we’re all here to help ✌🏽
thanks haha, lug nut, fixed it;)
Fix Or Repair Daily. Good ole Ford
The injector drive module is a $200 part and is the easiest of all those parts to change and likely the problem
What an adventure. Man! Just be thankful it's not in the middle of winter in Alaska.
You must have a 7.3 in your truck? I carry EVERYTHING ..... spare sensors, fp regulator, tools, belt, fluids etc ... just for this reason..... And the phony stamped nut came off on mine once, then the sensor core comes off the stem ... so threadlocker is a must.
yup!
The crank sensor has been known to die on the 7.3 near the front of the oil pan under the front of the engine bay...
wait for it;)
Damn Timmy, this adventure got out of hand real quick, thought for sure it was going to start, hang in there man, stay safe!
Please keep posting on your truck repairs. Curious to find out what went wrong and how you got it fixed. Sad that this happened but great videos covering the saga of heartbreak over being stranded.
Hanging on the edge of the cliff for the finale.
hey bud the reason i'm down with nomad life youtuberz is because you never know what is coming your way and to be a nomad soldier you have to learn how to control yourself in the face of adversity. keep chill and you will find a way. humans are animals and animals adapt. peace son. keep the growth.
so true
Ooh 😮 just hope you can get to the bottom of the problem soon my friend 👍 take care !
You lucky dog
Red Rocks is on my bucket list
I gotta see Big Head Todd, that’s his venue
Your mech skills are impressive
I was like that when I was your age, but I’m 60 and stay out of the bush now….
Sorry for your trouble bro
Well that was a bummer. Too bad Tim.
to hell with red rock, now THIS is living! What mettle, what a man!
sorry this happened man, but keep in mind that for me this was a reminder of what adventure really is! with risk comes reward, and with adventure comes risk... when these stories are over they suddenly become part of the satisfaction of your overall adventure, and a reminder that you yourself are capable of overcoming such things.... also of the good in people that help you out... My old 06 duramax wouldn't start a number of years ago, and I was stuck at my moms in a very isolated VA town... After trying everything I could in town, out of desperation, I went online and found some website where professionals in all walks of life/ professions can go to earn money answering questions from people like me. An hour after posting a brief explanation my problem a "master certified" GM mechanic got back to me saying to get a wire and connect it between a frame bolt and the heat sync of the computer module... something that is 10,000% something that would ever come to mind of myself or even the average mechanic.... seemed random, but I tried it and holy S#$t, it worked immediately.... The website had an option to donate to him, so I sent him $100... both to motivate him to keep doing what he was doing, and to inspire more people to share their knowledge. He had no idea how much he saved me (though I'm sure the $100 clued him in!)... you're the man... kept your cool, but most importantly persisted!!! good on you!
true
Jeez, Tim. And to think, You could be back in Girdwood enjoying the cold-snap and that last dump of snow!
lol
pro tip ,12 valve cummins much easier to work on and way more reliable , conversion time ya won't regret it ,
Stickin w/ the 7.3;)
Good content anyway. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the next video. Rooting for you brother.
HI, next step, check the fuel, disconnect one fitting from the fuel reservoir to the fuel rail and crank the engine a little bit. If no fuel come out you have a problem with the fuel pump, do this before replacing the fuel pump, you will save a lot of money and time. Give me the result and I will tell you the next step.
lug nut, fixed it;)
PEOPLE THIS HAPPENED WEEKS AGO! Tim, calling on the four wheel drive community would have been a good thing to do early in this but you wouldn't have this epic content for us to watch. and the four wheel drive community would with out a doubt do what ever is necessary to get you to where you could get your rig fixed. we leave nobody behind and broken, and it always gets paid forward. and the views you had to suffer through all those days.....
Weeks ago or not, I know the drone footage at the halfway point after the event, shows three rigs remaining, one of them, his broken one. Thankfully not everyone had moved on. Tim is new to this and learning about the amazing Nomad community as he goes. You could tell by their surprise once they learned of the non-profit rescuers! A tough and very expensive lesson to learn, IMO.
yup I had a good crew out there haha:)
Hahaha good to see Dan he and I use to hang when I was living in CB a awesome guy glad he was able to help you out. Sorry you got stuck in our old early season ski area but still not a bad place to break down.
I hope that bad boy gets fixed.
Tim you need to publish your music with a Company like ASCAP if they are original songs you write and sing with band you stand to make royalty fees for writing and performing your songs... Blessings Timmy!
Wow ! Just found your videos brings me back to the 70’s- 80’s living in crested butte & Gunnison grew up in Colorado 🎉 it’s cool to see the old town which has grown a lot. I saw all the greats as a teen at Red Rocks Fleetwood Mac / the Grateful Dead / beach boys / Bonnie Raitt etc etc . Sorry such a truck hassle . Thanks for taking everyone along ❤
I know the feeling....going to the hardware store and finding the one tool you need sold out.
I love the desert...ahhh! I feel like a hitch-hiker...
Well look at the good side your technically broken down at home 🤣
FACT lol!
Damn Timmy so sorry for the problems Bro. Sure hope it worked out well.
It DID! Pretty sure his first video was from the event at this lovely place. This was the aftermath.
It could always be worse. Just think of the memories. Fun times
Reminded me when I broke my jeep at the top of Granite Mountain...smashed the steering stabilizer. Thank God my buddy was there with a massive collection of tools, and he took it off. I wouldn't have known to do that. I pretended to be calm, but I was hysterical inside. It would have cost a fortune for a tow out of there, and I needed the jeep to get to work the next day. Ugh!
Glad you have this all behind you now. 😌 Phew
Good to see down2mob being his normal cool self…. Or should I say down2mail…. Hahaha
I was almost screaming at the screen things to check before chasing parts😂 if you are still battling it this is my checklist, check for fuel, check fuses, check for bad connections on your idm and pcm, I have seen Idm’s go bad but I believe you still have crank signal so I don’t think it’s that.
Im sure he's checked all that mate.
@@greenghost6416 I’m sure he has but I was just throwing it out there. I work on 7.3’s and 6.0’s everyday and know the common issues.
lug nut, fixed it;)
cant imagine the frustration youre going through. fortunately youre with some really good guys who are hanging with you and helping out. You'll be off that trail soon
If it's diesel loosen up injector fuel lines and act like your starting it to see if injector pump is working. You can see if delivery pump is working by doing the same where line comes into injector pump. This happened to me before , hang in there bro.
lug nut, fixed it;)
@@TruckHouseLife Is that supposed to be funny?
Im loving all this adventures good or bad
Timmy, stay strong brother. Love your videos and your positivity always! You got this!
His positivity???? I always say how much he constantly complains for someone with such a "chill" life. Everything seems a hassle with him, I watch and feel better I don't have things so rough at my job.
@@Steve-dy1wf A chill life? From what I see the guy works his ass off to be able to live life the way he wants to live it (something I admire). I guess when you are always traveling and living in a truck you may be more prone to having issues then the average person but I don't think he constantly complains about it? If you lived in a truck, you would probably have just as many setbacks and you might even let it get you a bit down from time to time. Anyway, nobody is forcing you to watch if you find it so appalling.
lol
Enjoyed? NO! What a bummer. Hope luck improves. Rich
So sorry for your troubles Timmy...
Maybe is a plan from above and in that solitude and with that clear sky you'll be contacted by alliens to give a message to the world 😅😅😅🤪🤪 keep calm ...greetings from Montevideo ☕
mayhaps haha!
I feel for yah, stressed just watching, in our prayers
Dude its your cam position sensor lol!!!
lug nut, fixed it;)
Sorry buddy, real life strikes again! Keep your head up!
, it's the hard times that teach us. Peace ☮️
Good luck!

Breakdowns are a bummer! Hang in there man. Burlington Bill Busking from the road and home!
Man, your meeting some really decent folks in your crisis!
Got no wonder it took so long for them to wake up it's Phil have you ever seen Phil get up early😂
I pulled my friends f250 with artic fox camper all the way up the Baja to San Felipe before we could get it repaired with my 96 keep Cherokee. Average speed was 12 mph. It was hell but we made it. Everyone breaks down but I drive a Cummings they are a lot Easter to repair in the trail.

You def handling it staying calm but stressed out like crazy. But hey your not alone. And out in the winter weather of Alaska. And just think you shouldn't have any issues for awhile if you changed out all them parts and a fuel pump for awhile.
