Someone hasn't read A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. If someone had, he would never leave home without a towel.
South Park even 😂
True!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
Love Douglas Adams! The whole series is fantastic!
So long and thanks for all the fish!
Dude. no heat, no propane, not enough firewood, no towel..... You're on top of this trip lol!
Very well prepared...
Blame it on the Caribou. Everything went to hell after he hit one and messed his truck up
You had a rough time bro but at least you got up there and you will still have a good time stay safe
He said he brought plenty of firewood
😂 you're right poor man !
Holy crap !! truck acting up ,broken diesel heater ,out of propane , both snow machines acting up. I would say throw in the towel, but you don’t got one.😂 totally kidding Timmy !! love how you stay so positive and keep on Truckin 🇺🇸 love your videos. Can’t wait to see the next adventure.
Why is it fake? What do you mean exactly? Just curious
@@sandrageorge4429 what is a fake camper exactly
Nothing fake about truck house life he’s the real deal!!🇺🇸
@@AllAmericanDad I agree that's why I was wondering what that comment meant
@@jasonrappold4719 that's what I was asking
Hey man, check if you have any wiring coming from the gearbox or the transfer case passing close to your new downpipe. Elevated heat can change the electric conductivity of the wires and mess the reading from the sensors. Best of luck!
Great advice! Can you please come down to Tucson and take a look at my car?😁😉
@@pattibrown1809 I wish could! I live in Brazil. It's a little too far. hahah, but I plan on visiting Alaska someday!
How about upstate ny ? I think I’m close to Brazil .. not a bus ride but close !!
Yep, it sounds like a Negative Earth or Negative Ground problem.
I was thinking along those lines but maybe rubbed the exhaust and melted the insulation and it's grounding. Or a wire got pinched in a nut and is grounding... I had that one happen to me.
The love this man has for life is pretty cool to see.
Without happy people life would suck. The coffee guy just carried happy with him in the smile and the java! Timmy, you seem to be surrounded with people that make life better!
Dude the fact that you stay positive even when life is not cooperating with you is amazing. You give me inspiration to stay positive when times are getting tough 😊
Good morning, fellow house trucker fans
Someone said it was a chaotic episode. I think not. I say it was controlled chaos ! It was classic Timmy, cool,humble, never dull, patient, joyful, all in 1 episode. Not chaos but adventure! 🙋♀️
Controlled Chaos name of a friends band in so Cal
Lol OMG..... What's up with your wood stove? Something wrong with that too? Hot water, slow cook? Am I missing something? Hope your car holds out. Wood stove = HEAT.
Thanks for the show!!!
I like how at the beginning of the episode he said he brought plenty of firewood since he said his diesel heater doesn’t work. Then proceeds to just waste his time to fix the diesel heater while he’s out in the elements for some reason instead just starting a fire. But then halfway through the episode he says he doesn’t have enough firewood. Which one is it?
I'd check your ground connections to make sure they are all tight and well connected.
Watching from Northern California. I gotta say, I love your can-do, positive attitude. Nothing seems to bring you down whether working on your house, no diesel heater or whatever. You great it with a chuckle and move on.
Hey Timmy! Thanks for the long form clip again.
Got my final results after 10 month battle. They are giving me 3-12 months brother, wanted to keep ya up to speed
Stay well and talk soon
🎩
Keep charging forward Pete!
@TruckHouseLife You know it brother ! I'm gonna keep on ya till then, keep up the fabulous work 🤘
The lovely lady with the blue winter hat is smitten over you friend! ❤️ I see it in her eyes whilst looking at you working, she got the hots for you country north guy
I don’t know why he didn’t shower with the gal he gave the shower coins to…would have saved some money. 🤷🏼♀️
@@susansterchi4269 Maybe he likes boys??
Timmy has no rizz. When a girl talks to him you can tell he gets all awkward.
@@Docstantinople , maybe he's just protecting his interest but personally, blue hat chick would've got spanked so good if it were me! Maybe he protecting his private life? After all it's just a paycheck
Perhaps Timmy is alot like us country boys, we KNOW the danger of dating these females today, he has alot of great stuff, I wouldn't have gotten involved with the girl other than spanking her ass on road trip however Timmy has worked hard to have the life he's got and the stuff he's built like his house and camper truck, I wouldn't take the chance of falling in love and loosing half my shit either! These women today of all ages are taught to take everything from a man regardless of how awesome and great they are to them, their grandmother, mother, and common women today can't get their own shit they gotta target a guy and take his shit! I don't blame him! Hell with them cunts
You have a bad ground somewhere on your main batteries, winter and road salt takes a toll on wiring, use dielectric grease on all harness connections. Chasing wiring gremlins sucks, best of luck
I was gonna say same thing bad earth some where.
Thank God there are people like you ..allways look for the good in life..most people would have give up but not Timmy love you man
Inspiration to watch someone staying positive throughout all the adversity.
DIESEL HEATER OUT, PROPAINE OUT, you still got the wood stove, you are fine.
Did you check your RABS module (Rear Anti-lock Brake Module), those can cause the speedo to jump and erratic shifting. Also the VSS in the rear diff reads off a tone ring for the speedo as well, if its not getting a good signal because the tone ring was set wrong when you had the diff work done it could throw the sensor off as well. If younhave a shop with a ossiliscope they can watch the wave length and pin point the issue better. Had the same issue with my bronco turned out to be the RABS module. Good luck and as always try to have fun!
If youve got the E4OD transmission and recently regeared, you may want to check the speedometer gear at tye end of the the speedosensor, which if like mine, plugs into the transfercase at the output shaft. These are a small plastic gear with teeth that spin off another plastice gear inside the transfer case. Because theyre plastic, the teeth get worn and then the gesr doesnt spin properly, which means the speedo cable doesnt spin correctly and your speedometer needle bounces around erratically. The transmission takes input from the speed sensor and shifts accordingly. Thus, a worn speedometer drive gear could cause a bouncing needle and erratic transmission shifting.
Hope that heater company gives you a new heater free of cost. You've been praising there product for years. It's the least they can do for all you've done to promote them.
If they don’t … he should keep talking about how the heater malfunctioned.. so we don’t waste out time and money ..
Hear, hear!
And they did !
@1HelloBaby1 yes after a bunch of us made some noise.
I have a 12v mini blanket that sips power and gets nice and warm....definately takes the chill out.
Seems that Tim didn’t do ANY of his usual planning for a 10 DAY TRIP!
“Paper towel shower”? No fuel?! Not enough fire wood? Etc etc etc 😳
I think Tim should survey the audience. Why do you watch this? Relaxing? Want to build? Have the same 7.3 4x4? Like woodmaking/DIY? There's lots of things you hit the mark on Tim. Well done.
I am here to learn to be patient and "roll with the punches" as Timmy says. His patience & resilience has always inspired me.
I spent the summer of 1969 in Valdez which was before the pipeline. I lived with my uncle who was the Catholic priest and I worked at Foodlanes supermarket. I dated the mayors daughter and was friends with the local Dept of Fish and Wildlife guy, Deputy Clyde. Good memories about good times.
Sounds like a great summer!
I love how you always have such a positive attitude!
Timmy! I need to tell you that I admire your positive attitude in the face of adversity. I am in the midst of building my own tiny house trailer and truly enjoy following your journey. I am a big fan dude. From Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Timmy , I appreciate you so much and your channel. Lived in a ski resort in Colorado for 30 years and was a firefighter medic.Could ski six days a week also a hunting and fishing guide. Disabled with a rare muscle disease for quite a while now.
I had a nice pop-up Hallmark on the back of my pick up and took that all over the place. Rip it up for me👨🏻🚒 see you on the back porch🤙🏽
He’s so close to 500k subs!
I just subscribed 👏🏻
He’s at 500k subs
@@jerrytalley802 that’s awesome, he must’ve just hit it! 🎉
That's some of the most perfect snow I've ever seen. I think those heaters last forever if you do a monthly service on them, keep them cleaned out. Might have to do that going forward. Awesome video!! Very jealous.
Thanks for another great video Timmy. Nice to see someone that keeps going in times of adversity. You don't give up. Just to be silly, you are a MANLY MAN!
So sorry you're going through all these issues,I absolutely love your videos,and hope you manage to sort all the break downs soon,film it all,some of us don't even know how to change a plug,it would make for good content. You take care,try n stay warm,and don't take unneeded risks while the old girls getting sick ! Much luv n positive vibes from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤
With all the challenges you have had this winter I really appreciate that you are the ultimate optimist…..excellent! Be inspired …and inspiring!
When my deisel heater quit I replaced a bunch of things. Spent nearly $200 and it ended up being a $15 ignitor/glowplug.
I was thinking it could be something like this or a dirty flame sensor or something like that.
I like how you don't freak out, staying positive, just enjoying life to the fullest! Respect to you Tim! Love your videos!!!
Thank you!
Have a safe drive today Timmy. I sure loved my 96 long bed 350 the 7.3 is a workhorse.
Your attitude toward troubles is inspiring. Love your channel.
We just had our first 90 degree day of the year here and Timmy is over here avoiding becoming a Timmy-sickle lol
Timmy, your positive attitude is just amazing. I really enjoy watching your videos, I feel like I am on the trip with you.😊
My diesel heater was having some issues. I found that the fuel pump can get clogged rather easily if any particles enter, I tapped on mine while running it in prime mode and it came back to life, I have a new one on order for back up but sometimes it can be super simple, best of luck 🙌🙌
Your ability to go with the flow is impressive.
Awesome video as always Timmy. This was an epic adventure and it’s all the setbacks what makes memories of an adventure. Thanks for letting us ride along with you on your adventures.
I just wanted to say that I am going through a pretty rough stage in my life right now and your videos every time without fail bring me peace and give me an outlet to calm down and relax. I was in Alaska last summer and watching your videos just bring me joy. keep doing what your doing because it has helped me immensely.
Getting excited. Love the cold weather adventures.
Dude we love your life vids , GOD bless ya my friend for safe journeys always ❤
Love the content Timmy. I hope things are sailing smoother for you by the time you read this.
The rough patches make the good times that much sweeter. Contrast is good in the grand scheme of things.
Love all your videos, brings back memories of when I lived in Alaska 79-87, working on my parents Mining operations in the Brooks Range above the Artic circle and living in Fairbanks, was like a 9 year Vacation ❤
❤❤WOW wat alot of snow‼️‼️We are having a severe thunderstorm now on the 25th. Loved it as always. She sat here and watched the whole thing saw the puppy in the background. Love how u ALWAYS roll with whatever comes ur way. ❤❤
Pretty sure that diesel heater is not designed to be installed vertically.
Exhaust and intake for the combustion should be pointed downward and generally they can be tilted 30 degrees or so end to end.
In a pinch you can mount them on their side but the glow plug needs to be on the top side.
At this point its probably pretty fouled up with diesel. You might be able to pop the exhaust off and dump any excess fuel if there is any. Then hose it out with brake parts cleaner.
Then mount it up properly and maybe set up a little tempporary fuel can and run some kerosene through it for a bit to clean it up.
As long as the glow plug is not completely wrecked I bet it will still work.
Extreme cold always leaves some fun little gremlins to sort out.
Paper towel shower😂🤘🏼 love it. Sometimes you just gotta thug it out. I find motivation in your positivity Timmy
You never let anything stress you out!! Mad respect. I love your attitude.
You amaze me young man!! Always find the good in the bad! I hope the rest of your week goes better!
Hi Timmy, great video only, not enough time on the snow. I love Valdez, one of my very favorite places to go. Hope you get your heater fixed, thanks for sharing.
Fuel filter may be plugs, lift pump do that.
Bio diesel less then two months six filters, and thats after i vaccuumed tank clean, replaced sending unit in tank. Going to order extra lift pump under hood , just so have one close.
Saw you said you didn’t have a towel and figured I’d comment. I’ve always carried a Micronet microfiber towel in a bag just in case when I travel. It rolls up super small and dries very quickly. Super helpful in situations when you forgot something.
Just left Anchorage, Monday. Was on a cruise that ended in Seward. Beautiful mountains, beautiful views
Wow, I am glad that your truck house engine still started up and took you to all of your designations.😮 That was surprising for me.
And if you missed a shower, it may be a good idea to buy waterless cleansers or wet wipes. You can use them and feel fresh and clean. 🤗
Think about when our water is too acidic. We won't be able to use the water. Something to prep for.
Thanks for sharing your flights (up and down, good and bad). We all learn from each other everyday. ❤❤❤
If you had to drop the transmission check to see if you pinched a or some wires between the bell housing and engine. Our check if you forgot a ground. It happens. Good luck & God bless.
Tim, your videos bring me joy and comfort. When I have trouble sleeping I often imagine myself camping in a warm vehicle in the midst of a arctic snowstorm- and that's exactly what you do! Praise God, finding your channel has been a real blessing. I'm sorry so many mechanical troubles have been attacking you- in this video it seems like some personal troubles are also on the assault. Brother, I just want to say Jesus is looking out after you, and maybe just maybe speaking to you through all the difficulties. I found this in my own travels. With a sincere heart I wish you the best and I will ask the Lord in prayer to keep you safe out there. I love you brother, I don't know you but we all share this common burden in the world and I see a lot of myself reflected in your videos. Joy in Jesus is just a prayer away brother, stay safe!
Hi Timmy May Our Precious Lord Jesus Bless You Exceedingly Abundantly beyond your natural mind would ever dream or imagined, May He give you eyes to see and ears to hear what Precious Holy Spirit has for each and everyone of us when we seek our Lord Jesus in Spirit And In Truth!!
This sightseeing is really breathtaking!! Thank you for sharing!!
JesusBlessYouAndKeepYou!!🥰🙏
Love your truck!my brother has a 1986 f250 diesel same color, tough trucks.
Great video Tim and love the adventure thank you for taking us along stay warm and safe
Love from Ohio
Coolest temperament of a man I’ve ever seen , so Timmy tell us u curse behind the scenes at least once ? man I’m kidding ❤ the channel
Once he gets married and has kids he's gonna swear like a sailor. Lolol love ya bro.
That fact that he’s so chill is exactly why nothing gets fixed and everything is turning into junk.
Timmy, the man of steel and lots of patience.
I had to find and fix a similar problem years ago. A wiring harness next to the alternator had chafed against the mounting bracket and was intermittently shorting out which caused the speedometer to twitch like yours is doing.
Timmy, the gear the vss reads in the differential is just pressed on the carrier. It was probably disturbed or damaged. Pull the cover and check it. Also if you need a psom I have good ones ready to go I'll sell cheap.
Good luck with the truck fix. Love your channel!
Everybody hits some speed bumps along the way. You are doing so much, between all the adventures, the film work and the editing, all while building a house (I know you call it a cabin but it's a house!). You do a great job on all of it, which is impressive even when nothing is going wrong. I just hope you take enough time for yourself. Take care Mr. Timmy!
❤ Your always prepared😮...and you do care Tim. Keep on trucking Tim and your mum's watching.. Have fun Tim, I know you can do it.❤
The heater where u put the glow pin in there's a pin hole in the threads for airflow it clogs all the time and will make a no flame code and make sure u change the screen in the heater builds up with carbon work on them alot with the fleet I work for
ABS sensor on ur rear end. Right above ur drive line. Replace the sensor and ur pigtail. Just did one.
I'm sorry you had a hard week, but this was an awesome video full of interesting things that happened! Stay safe!
Timmy your my fave YT man to watch regularly and I’ve subbed to dozens and dozens. Something about yours you have nailed the perfect recipe. 71 yrs old from Austin TX. ❤
Timmy is always finding a positive take on every situation. Heat is broke, truck is broke, no towel, shower closed, and so on.
His response is to light a fire, pay Uncle Sam, and get editing.
Truck House life, man ! 👍👍
I could not agree more.
That's life in Alaska . 💩 happens .
He's definitely laid back, that's for sure. Nothing can ruin his day!
Navy Seals have a profound saying during their training selection…”that guy is going to make it…hes too dumb to quit”…I think that applies to Timmy perfectly LOL
Regardless if he’s got a masters degree or not…
Just watching the stuff you do Timmy makes me feel better.
Howdy Timmy! 500,000 folks cannot be wrong! Thanks for the share!
Poor Timmy whatever could go wrong sure did, ❤ love his positively thou, roll with the punches is all u can do. Great video 😊
I need more of this Timmy!!! It’s the only thing I look forward to at the end of my week
Wow Timmy never seen you so umprepared for a trip especially in the dangerous roads you travel on
Get that heater fixed bud
Three ways to heat his rig is not unprepared.
Hey man awesome. Sorry to see all the issues you had but really enjoy the snow mobile riding and snow boarding
Love your camper. Also love your adventures.
Sounds like you're going through a thing. Glad you're keeping it private and processing it in your own way. I hope you enjoy all the great things that happen, amongst all the "bad". Spontaneity is not chaos, it's just life.
God Bless you Tim..Stay Safe and Warm brother!!❤
When you said it’s been a heck of a week, I felt that. Especially when my car blew up
Great video.Nothing stops you.Stay safe.
I love the heaters when they work but for the cost, in your sitiuation I would always have a backup unit
Ok. I drive a big truck with a heater in it. The shop told me to run in on max heat alot to keep it clean. Sence I've been doing that, it hasn't stoped working. Max heat for 3 hrs or so. But do it often. Burns off the soot.
My 96 powerstroke would do that same thing. Ended up being the cts3 monitor I had making the speedometer bounce around.
Safe travels!!🛻
Even if its a dish rag lol. Been there. Keep on truckin' Timmy
Try cleaning the flame sensor with a dollar bill, it’s just abrasive enough to not damage them, works for commercial units pretty well if you don’t have their special cleaning pads
You have a great attitude! Got unlucky in a series of events but never lost the smile. Hope you can fix your truck's electric problems soon
Bro, you should insall a backup heater that runs of engine coolant and electricity ,when idiling in the cold times. Worked for me!
in the level of cold hes in, it likely wouldnt do much the idling diesel probably isnt hardly opening the thermostat as is. lucky to keep the cab above freezing
Can't wait to see another incredible video.👍NC
We had something like ur propane heater at our bbq restaurant that cleared smoke for the motorized smokers & the heat & carbon build-up wreaked havoc on the fan motors.
I had a 1995 F150 2 wheel drive that was acting similar, but started out only when it rained. The parking brake cable had worn through the wiring loom. 2 cents, love the videos man.
Looks like a hell of alot of fun. Hope you get your heatet fixed.😊
I had a Mitsubishi eclipse when tried to put on a cold air intake it would do that push gas and almost stall because you had to have it plugged in .so check your air intake. Map sensors, egr valves.
Awesome trip / video! I’ve never in my life had a desire to visit Alaska but now I think it would be cool to check it out at some point.
That's what I call a day bud ok thanks for the show Timmy stay safe and have a great Friday and weekend ❤💪🏼🇺🇸🔥
