I am hoping to help other people that are living the Nomad or Van life style
I have been working at this since 2017
I don't claim to be an expert by any means
But I have been thru 3 out of 5 vehicles successfully
2 vehicles were complete rip offs - caviat emptor ( let the buyer beware )
In the past few years , people have asked about my solar power system
Anyone can do it , it's not rocket science
Also will post some mechanical videos
I help my friends keep things running when I can
As I progress, I will try to create more vehicles like mine
I actually love mechanic work, and have fun most of the time figuring new or OLD stuff out
Hopefully this channel will be entertaining as well as a tutorial
So subscribe , enjoy , like and please leave comments
Especially if you have any questions
Thank you all

Insulating and framing the front wall
The inside of the truck has been ignored since the transmission tanked.
And the winter is coming , and I want to avoid the 0 degree temps again
this should also eleviate the over 100 degree summer temps in here

Avoiding the shock of the solar power
Просмотров 185День назад
First step to this wall was cleanin all the wiring off the wall after getting it all taken down I had to reconnect the solar panels I had to make sure there would be no shocks in the morning
It's better than I thought

I was really unsure how this would turn out without a set of clamps And I was also unsure that the batteries I usd to hold it down would still be there in the morning ( they got the go handles ) but they stayed I wasn't surprised by the cheap Taiwanese hinges though As a machinist , I know the 411 on foreign metallurgy so any way, I GOT a DOOR yay !!!
Finally working on the inside again

Neverending story trans 4l80e ongoing project
not the power!!
@@skittlesryumm even solar is not perfect
Ugh!
Even though I don’t have solar panels I’ll still clean them if I ever get them
@@WarrenWar354 I found out how important it is todayv
@ No problem
Cool set-up. What kind of battery are you running?
@@MaritimeUnprepared I have a set of 3 AGM 1000cca on the left bank, and 3 deep cycle batteries on the right bank Plus AI picked up battery that comes with the Thunderbolt solar systems
@AsymmetricAuto very cool. I've been living off 850w of solar.
@MaritimeUnprepared I'm using 400 w of panels I will be getting 3 more , since I already bought 7 batteries
@@MaritimeUnprepared what type batteries are you using
@@AsymmetricAuto I have four 100ah lifepo4 batteries that connected 550w of solar for my house batteries. And I have 3 marine lead batteries with 300w of solar for my diesel heater.
Looked a bit temporary to me anyway. Gaz.
@@Gazr965 yeah , been wanting to get this done for over a year But the engine had to be changed and I had to rebuild the trans now that it's running strong The inside can be finished
@@Gazr965 you gar that right 👍
Looking good!
@@captainkirk1745 yes , thank you
This is old news you do know that right? I've heard about this same thing years ago
Trying to keep awareness , for the next gens 30 + years dealing with it lol
Cool! Cool kid! You look like man with hand and cool kid!
Super duper amazing!!!!!! Wow its unbelievably sooooo freaking cool! You should probably make more videos and stuff you are like my roll model!
@@DoodleJuiceYT this is an ongoing project But I will be looking for another truck to customize after this one is up to my approval 😁
Cool
Sweetheart
? Who is this ?
can't see much
@@StevenWillner-x1l yeah hard to see in this light , but gas is clear so it's harder to see
Sorry for poor lighting
@@AsymmetricAuto it's all good
It ain’t dinner time Unc.
@@Roblox_RUclipsr652 yup , but this is the time best time of day for my dad , he's in the hospital, and I get this for him instead of the hospital lunch
That gauge is not accurate. Measure the actual temp of the engine with infrared thermometer.
@@fastinradfordable I wish I had one of those
Or if it’s an electric fan, it might be on all the time which would mean you’d need a temperature sensor
@@tomcassn1 actually thanks , I think I have a bad temperature gauge 😞 I'll check that next
Could be your fan clutch
@@tomcassn1 this fan is clutch less ,1995
@@tomcassn1 but thanks for the suggestion
I agree
Real nice!! 😜
@@MarkZullo-xp7zz yeah , she's getting better
Makes me miss my old van. Gotta love the old chevys!
@@WilliamSpyrison absolutely, still miss my Scooby van that I sold to my friend
@@AsymmetricAuto I had a green 95 beauville and everyone called it the mystery machine! Except my one friend called it the hate tank lol but hell yeah is there a video of your old van on here?
Obs life
good job buddy!:]
looks good from the front so thats all that matters LOL
Yeah who cares about the back lol 🤣
You should link the short
Yeah , I need to figure that out, I'm still kinda green here
@@AsymmetricAuto I think you can add it to the description or just post it as a comment.
not sure if the grills plastic was thick enough but should use thos plastic weld staples
@@skittlesryumm hopefully I can find the grille someday , it's missing key pieces
u goo
Sorry , I got cut off at the end
Did it start?
@@Jkwald57 Yes , And I will post an update this afternoon , as I move on to the next project
Just weld her up
Its started something..... not the truck... but something 😂
Valve cover gasket? If it was head gasket I would expect coolant and other issues.
@@geoffv8700 yes , most likely But the exhaust sound makes me think head gasket , or just bad exhaust on top of valve cover gasket
Hey bud, do you like fixing car vs being a machinist?
@@williamtudor4586 I wish I had a machine shop to create new parts for the cars I fix So both buddy 😉😁😎
You’re a musician…how do you tune a fish?
lol i was just there 5 days ago! i got sick on Shore Shot and the funhouse was closed. You should try pirates hideaway its rlly fun and the green one (i forgot the name) have fun!
Crank puller is always A.C it's different though
@@steverapp9887 I don't have the A/C hooked up yet
The blue bracket above the alternator loosens and pull taught then tighten bing bong
@@Bmanreptileland it's all good 👍
You can adjust the tension with the alternator bracket
@@Bmanreptileland it's tight , but I still want a longer belt , to create a better longer angle
@@AsymmetricAutoyou replaced your belt. The noise is fixed. There’s nothing wrong with the angle Leave it alone.
And fix your damn belt
@@fastinradfordable yes sir Got a whole laundry list to fix Front bearings , starter solenoid , both belts Rebuilding the throttle body Tune up Fuel sending unit And more inside the truck lol 😆
I still like you and subbed
And 24 and 72 are both tranny speed sensor errors, I need to install new speed sensors anyway, one keeps freaking out, no speed then it gets it then it starts going erratic
Sorry bro This is terrible diagnosis. You can’t check 5 different electrical problems With no multi meter And just guessing randomly swapping parts because how you feel.
@@fastinradfordable I got it down to 3 now , and one is the missing O2 sensor 24 and 72 are left now Thanks though 😊
The brake light switch has nothing to do with the parking brake.
“12 code” Is not a code It just says that’s the start of code diag process.
You just got your 65th subscriber, sir keep up the good work

That's why I called it CRAZY 🤣 The wind was absolutely CRAZY
Can't hear anything Knucklehead!
@@thurstonhowelliii9501 yeah , it was deafening , soo sorry , I could barely hear myself lol
What?
@@joshuasingleton2015 yup I know , the wind was deafening
Excellent work !!! 🎉
I hate not having my laptop for editing
I had the sister vehicle (2006 Ford Freestyle). Its alternator went out during a trip to Michigan in 2012, about 5 hours from my home. Thankfully, I was able to get a boost to get it running long enough to make it to a Ford dealer in Frankenmuth, where they swapped it out with a rebuilt one. It cost me $350.00 including a new battery, which I thought was good value for a dealership.
Yes , absolutely great deal for a dealership Then they turned around, rebuilt it original, and sold it for $300 or more And probably even got a tax break on top of that 😲🤔😵💫😵
@AsymmetricAuto As mentioned, I live a few hours away (on the other side of the border). We were on our way home from a family holiday in Michigan's UP. I was grateful that it happened near a garage that was able to sort it out in half a day at a fair price, as I had few options.
Ford would've been better off placing the 500 body atop the 2005+ Mustang and call it good
You're probably right 👍
It is always amazing how a simple job can turn into some nightmare! Glad you got it done! Thanks for sharing!
Putting it back together should be easier ,,, probably 🚫 not
@@AsymmetricAuto Yep! LOL!
You should have use a nut buster. FOR REAL. that or just hack saw them off and weld on new bolts later. ALSO fill the tank with water to the top before. that or purge with some argon or nitrogen.
I was hoping to not break the strap bolts But the old style hangers were easier and easily replaceable , so the eye bolt repair is preferable to me And the flames were never touching the tanks , I was firing the outside edge of the nuts mostly to melt in lubricants
