And I love the way you handle things when shit hits the fan

@jefreykoenig6774 5 месяцев назад

Timmy… I really hope you look back at these old videos to see how resilient and tenacious you are. Well done brother!

@kathyboyers4341 11 месяцев назад

My wife and two of her friends were on their way to Arizona in a diesel schoolie towing a 24 foot enclosed trailer when they broke down in Texas. It took them 3 days to get someone to fix the bus. An 86 year old retired diesel mechanic just happened by to the gas station they were broken down at. He fixed them up and they made it back home to Michigan uneventful. Things do happen and can be very stressfull. Hopefully you are enjoying your time by now. Thanks for a great video.

Way to stay calm . It’s not easy when ya have car troubles. It’s nice you have your cabin with you so have a place to stay . It can always be much worse . Was a beautiful place to be stuck for four days. Your truck has been awesome , hope they get her fixed .

@greyangelpilot 2 года назад

You had me at "Broken Down" brother, but got me with "Always Lookin' Up." I think most of your viewers can relate to being "Stuck in a Rut" or "Broken & Down" in 2020/21. Life's not about the easy victories or simple fixes, it's about the quest of surmounting the seemingly unconquerable. Rock On Timmy, you're video may have inspired more than a few of us who may have lost faith in believin'.

In the nearby future only aristocrats will drive anymore. The poor people will be up on the porch having as much babies as possible. Over $16,000,000 worth each. The rest of the people will be in the gutter. When I see you in the gutter I’ll throw you a bottle of wine. Bloomberg, I’ll be right back with some sugarless wine 😅hi, vanilla tea here. I’m on a mission. To get sugarless wine. Afterwards I’ll be throwing mad dog 20/20. Everybody.

@containyourlife 2 года назад

Oh Timmy, never a dull moment. By the time you’re done with it all, you should have a brand new truck. Hopefully you’re well on your way home now. 🤞🏼🙌🌈

Truck repairs expensive. But you got this

@jannettaktibbs7268 5 месяцев назад

There are so many blessings in this video. So much could have gone wrong, but didn't. As my beloved late hubby used to say, when camping, you can never be prepared enough. He would plan our trips for weeks. Packed so much gear, but each outing, I could see how important all that planning was. I'm brand new to your channel, and I love it. Reminds me of our camping adventures. My late hubby took me all over the PNW. We were both Oregonians, with a deep love of the outdoors. You be safe. ❤

@ObamaoZedong 2 года назад

I'm gonna share this in my dodge ram group. A ford found on road dead pulled by another that also breaks down. They'll get a kick outta that. 😅

@TruckHouseLife 2 года назад

lol prob will!

@traderryan713 2 года назад

What a damn story. That was amazing and motivates me to stay positive and just hammer problem after problem. Crazy!

@jeannepalumbo6514 2 года назад

So very stressful when these things happen, especially when you,'re far away from home. At least it wasn't on a holiday weekend, with no shops open. Now you need to get Phil and Brian up to Alaska.

@glennpurchase807 3 месяца назад

Wow. What an experience. Hard on the nerves. But it all worked out.

@dopecactus 2 года назад

This has been a fun adventure to watch. Glad that wasn't me in your situation.

@richardhardy4243 2 года назад

I learned a lot from this video....most importantly, keep your cool. I can only imagine how I would have reacted to all this. Lesson learned. Timmy is all chill

@TruckHouseLife 2 года назад

I try to be lol.

@kst357 2 года назад

This is one of those epic breakdown stories you'll be telling your grandkids about.

@diannes 2 года назад

@CaliforniaBushman 2 года назад

Ooh. A discount off the $1000 for fixing his Pump hose? Maybe they did? Coloradians. Coloradans are so nice.

@hgj2019 2 года назад

I know it seemed like a lot, but $1K for that tow was a good deal. I once paid $600 to get pulled almost 100 yards up a snowy hill on a Forrest service road in NM. Wrecker driver had a 2 hour round trip to get me. He did the whole job within 4x4 1 ton dodge truck. It was a lot of $$, but I was glad to get out.

@TruckHouseLife 2 года назад

Yup could have been worse.

@GregorsOutdoors 4 месяца назад

Way to keep it real. I've seen brand-new rigs break down in remote places. It happens to the best of us. What an epic rescue all captured on video. Happy it all worked out and you could smile at the end.

@micealmacadaim6550 2 года назад

Gunnison CO. A beautiful location. Was there in 1984.

@sarahfarmer6835 2 месяца назад

Man you have nerves of steel! Stay safe

@CaliforniaBushman 2 года назад

Years ago, I was insured with USAA. My dad was a Captain in the Army retired. My engine blew in my Acura skiing Had an 85 mile tow. But back then (1994), they covered it. I Dropped a used engine in with 35,000 broken in miles on it from a junkyard. Drove it 8 more years.

@carriemainquist757 2 года назад

Wow. Just wow. A different kind of adventure, part of the journey. The kindness of strangers when traveling is so amazing.

@nature10879 3 месяца назад

Lots of fun to watch. I think adventures are supposed to be this way, it doesn't have to be smooth all the time. Those old fords are tough.

@jdedmnds1 2 года назад

Good luck. The place I used to work, has a F450 with a 7.3 diesel and it had a problem similar and the problem was the wires and plug going to the cam sensor.

@sarahr9181 2 года назад

I’m fully obsessed with this series, Timmy. You’re sure having some craptastic luck!! Can’t wait for the next one!!

@sdrynock7368 2 года назад

Geez, when it rains it pours! Glad you've made it out safely! That's an awesome truck and I admire your patience and staying calm with all of those frigging crazzay things going wrong!

@Iamtheoverlander 2 года назад

I was right at the top of the hill were you broke down for four days on September 16th camping just above your friend with the Jeep. If I broke down camp just a little bit earlier I would’ve passed you at your break down spot.

@TruckHouseLife 2 года назад

nice haha

@lifehunter6426 2 года назад

Glad you got out safe and to a shop. Again, can't wait to see what the problem was.

Hellya bro I loved in Gunnison. For 3 months ....lol. Everyone had big thick bathrobes...for morning coffee... Loved Colorado

@jamesmears3419 2 года назад

Hang in there, Im a van lifer, huge fan! Glad you got out!

@TruckHouseLife 2 года назад

thanks man

@usmcmustang2972 2 года назад

So sad that I didn't know you were broke down.. I would have had you running in short order, without a tow. I live in Montrose.

@TruckHouseLife 2 года назад

lol dangit

@giterdone9013 2 года назад

My cripes, did your spark arrestor make it back out, lol? Glad you got 'er out of there in one piece and didn't even have to take the drive shaft off. Imagine, even had two Found On Road Dead's at one point! I love that you even got to help him out with parts and tools. You're certainly learning a lot about your rig and I got a feeling, you made that show, Lord knows you earned it. And I had a thought but maybe one of those collapsible e-bikes would be beneficial to have around? Did the one wheeler ever make it up the hill in one go? Thanks for all you do and for putting this out there for us. You're right, hard to consider yourself too hard done by with a view like that eh. Keep on keepin' on and cheers from Eastern Canada.

@rosathompson5644 2 года назад

I hope things will work out well for you. Stay safe ❤️🙏

@Bigsexy611 Месяц назад

It’s very cool how everyone is so supportive and willing to share a helping hand when in need it used to be like that every where I fortunately live in a small mountain town and it’s the same way here as it is there take care of that truck and it will take care of you I have a 97 f250 7.3 and it’s gotten me through some pretty sketchy places

@monicdavis6150 2 года назад

A second tow truck 🛻 for the last 3 feet! Nail biter until the end. 😫

@jandj2589 2 года назад

What a bummer! We sure hate to see your trip plans messed up! But you just make the best out of a bad situation! Take Care

@rjdtwo 2 года назад

One of the benefits of you being broke down is videos every day!

@TruckHouseLife 2 года назад

Just a regular Allen wrench will sometimes fit in a HEX head star bolt

@TruckHouseLife Год назад

yup!

@johnsimpson8198 2 года назад

Damn Timmy, the adventure continues, hopefully alot better from here on out! Stay safe my friend

@petergozinya6122 2 года назад

It's never a good sign when the tow truck is smaller than the vehicle to be towed.

@giterdone9013 2 года назад

I'm a GM gas girl and I have to say, watching that old Ford pull that 10,000lb monster and make it that far through THAT kind of terrain, I might even get ME a mid-90's Diesel Ford, lol.

@shamsshams20261 2 года назад

I admire your resilience and your patience. Good luck and thank you for sharing.

@TruckHouseLife 2 года назад

thanks:)

@petejoy6328 2 года назад

First time I’ve ever been excited to see a you tube video! So glad it worked out in the end and what the hell, you fixed some shit that was eventually going to crater anyway! Concert looks awesome. Safe travels brother 😎

@TruckHouseLife 2 года назад

lol nice!

@russellmcbride1242 2 года назад

That turn by Scholfeild pass is a bad angle. That first downhill is sketchy for sure. Knarly road from Emarald to Gothic! Crazy tow! 🤯 Hope you made the show!🤙

@TruckHouseLife 2 года назад

Yup footage does not justice lol

@darewolf 2 года назад

Cannot make this stuff up, very much enjoyed watching this!!! New subscriber here!!! Best of luck and look forward to more of your upcoming adventures!

@MakinEndsMeet69 2 года назад

Damn Timmy that s*** sucks, way to keep the attitude as good as you did. I'm thinking if I would have had to pay that much to get out of there I probably would have torched my truck. LMAO man I wish you the best of luck with the rest of your trip, love you brother

@johnstuart8511 2 года назад

Oh Timmy: I feel your pain. But it sure is a different experience to be broken down. Just hope it is just a fuel problem. Electric's, Holding thumbs that you make it to your concert. (Can't miss that). Thanks for sharing your experience, As always. Regards

@burlingtonbill4687 2 года назад

As I am watching this I just returned from dropping our fifth wheel off to have new shackles put on after noticing while airing up the tires that two of the shackle links are broken. They called and are going with a More-ride system that has a little more beef and just maybe we will head for Arizona as planned next week. Looking forward to see how your saga continues in upcoming episodes ( I've seen where in real time you are back in Alaska ). Good luck. Keep playing that music! Burlington Bill here busking from at home and on the road here on You Tube.

@Iceman_777 2 года назад

Best of luck. Lived in alaska for 18 years. Yes I broke down in alaska many times. That's where I learned to wrench. Great channel !!

Wow … you definitely had a rough few days… thanks for the video buddy…

@JimmyDistheMan 2 года назад

You seemed pretty calm and kept going with the videos. The fact is that breakdowns happen. It could have been worse, but you stayed calm and got through it... one challenge at a time.

Dam that was hard out bro. Can't wait for the next installment

@1jackvalley580 2 года назад

Yes this is a bummer, unfortunately as we know vehicles "ALL BREAK DOWN" and with your chosen lifestyle, and where you choose to live, it can be really tough when they do break down. Wishing you the best🙏😎🚚

@rendok0 2 года назад

This is almost the kind of concern I have when it comes to owning large camper vehicles. Regardless though they produce good memories so it's kind of a trade-off. This will be a good camper story after cracking a beer and joking around.

@johnhilbert5894 2 года назад

Well you got through it and on the positive side the preventative maintenance of your truck is good to go for awhile

I really feel this because my pos psd is ooc . Screws me out of my trip to my land in Arizona again this year, covid got me last year . Gotta put $$ into my truck , actually thinking the psd diesel is too unreliable might switch to a big gasser , at least they usually start or it’s just a fuel pump , not 10 different things

Triple Cross Towing! Awesome name! By God's grace - you did get there! He was seriously with you! Amazing!

@user-cw7ue8pu9p 4 месяца назад

I'm sure I'm not the first comment to warn you that riding in a towed vehicle is against the law. Hope some pud snitch doesn't call the feds on that tow company. BTW, I grew up in that region and am currently not far from there. I pretty much know most nooks and crannies. Western CO is awesome. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

@daves3016 2 года назад

i enjoy the videos brother, its been interesting to see how you tackle this issue.

@GregB-kc1rb 3 месяца назад

This has to be one of the most realistic podcast ever produced I can’t get over the video and editing quality but there are some things, and I gotta be honest or I wouldn’t be me Tim, you sometimes take some crazy risks Now that comment may piss off some of the other following but too bad for them I don’t pull any punches and definitely speak my mind Enjoying the episodes Be safe Tim, your life’s valuable and you are appreciated…..

@FA113NZ0MB13 2 года назад

I hope you made it to your show! Crested Butte is so beautiful to camp at, I live in Colorado and I would of been freaking out to be broken down over there.

@CaliforniaBushman 2 года назад

A couple of Vanlifers I follow have dashcams running at all times. Like the Russians do. One guy always says "and away we go!" It seems like your riding with him, and that's a cool idea. He never misses stuff because it's on every trip.

@terryl5878 2 года назад

Tim you are a good man! Better than most! Good luck! You will do well!.......Why didn't your friends pull you down to town?????? If I had the chance, with their bad ass rigs, i would have loved to have tried.......jmho....

I need to save a little bit of money and get yourself a 12 valve or 24 valve 5.9 cummins swap very reliable motor but the meantime fix what you got save up for that Cummins in it. And you need a G 56 manual transmission and I believe you’ll be in good shape that truck or go anywhere good video keep up the good work can’t wait to see you next one and thank you you’re awesome
