You are definitely a man of many talents!! One of the things that I love the most about your channel is the variety of things you present and how we never know from week to week exactly what you will be up to. It sure keeps us entertained and I really enjoy how you intertwine such a wide-ranging variety of topics.

@@forestyforest Hey Forest haven't chimed in the comments for years but just wanted to give my 2 cents. The vortec 6.0 and the entire driveline in that van is the best youll find period. The Fords and dodges are extremely problematic. They are the most in for repairs at low mileage by far. But no matter what you have the same stuff generally needs changed north of 150,000 kilometers. But for hard use I would never buy anything but Chevy.

[@stanschmenge1965]

AVOID MERCEDES AT ALL COSTS!! (Scotty Kilmer) Endless money pit, at least your Chev has plentiful parts available. Remember, the way you have your van built out with the extra weight and over sized tires, will put more strain on all the drive train and electrical parts. Just a cost of running a vehicle the way you do. Love your channel, keep them videos coming and stay safe out there!!

[@1jackvalley580]

The problem with GMC/Chevy is you will not get Longevity out of them. They use to be great Vans, and the suburbans were really good, but as time has gone by parts are made cheap. Newer vehicles are all problematic because major electrical problems The manufacturers have added so Many things to the vehicles so they can charge huge prices, and this is the reason they have a lot of major electrical issues. So try and find a vehicle that has been around for at least 3 or 4 years so you can research and find what kind of problems it has had or not had. Also, you should consider going on the Scotty Kilmer You Tube, he is a very honest car repair expert, just type in what are the most reliable 4x4 vans and he can help you. Wishing the very best for you and little Mountain Girl "Calamity Rocko"🐾🙏🐾

rule #1 dont always trust your dash gauges, use a multimeter to test charging voltages, if your having charging issues the alternator, alternator wiring and or voltage regulator could be bad, also the battery could be bad too. shorted cells but this wont cause a charging voltage drop.

[@dayton6490]

Gm voltages can very, especially while driving at highway speeds. While driving, the pcm monitors battery voltage and the loads the vehicle is commanding from the charging system. If the parameters are met, the pcm will drop the output of the alternator to take the load of the serpentine belt. This was put in place because of emissions. It's supposed to help highway fuel economy, but in all reality, it doesn't do anything except freak people out. There is a TSB from General Motors put out for this type of issue. Im not 100% sure if yours falls under the tsb for these types of complaints. I'd have to have vin to check. Another thing it can be is the difference size alternator. The pcm is programmed for the smaller alternator and won't "relearn" itself to the larger alternator. Also, a new part doesn't me a good part. It's tough to do a diagnosis over a KZbin video and little information but those are some things you could have going on. Love the videos man and don't you give up on that ol girl, that is so much more reliable the any Mercedes diesel or Ford Eco junk on the road.

[@ntdfmaverick]

Awesome resourcefulness and self-dependence, and superb storytelling/editing!! But certainly; If you got a new vehicle, you'd pay a ton of upfront money, then spend a whole bunch more money and time bringing it on par with this current van, and then you'd be encountering the same exact maintenance requirements you're experiencing now. I feel like watching you deal with issues when they come up provides an honest, unvarnished view of actually living in a van, utilized heavily. Vehicles subject to heavy use, like fleet trucks, military vehicles, aircraft, etc, all are managed under maintenance programs, and exist within constant cycles of in-service/out-of-service, assembly/disassembly, etc. I would expect no different of a van employed the way you use yours! It's a fantastic vehicle, in a space with limited options. A really captivating video! Thank you.

Agree with some of the other comments that you should keep this van and keep fixing it. Knowledge of all the systems and weak points is a huge asset and getting something totally new will not only be a huge learning curve but not necessarily more reliable.

[@santaclause2875]

Love your channel, Foresty! Hey, about your Voltage issue; it's designed that way from the factory. Bought a new 2008 Silverado, off the dealer lot it did the exact same thing. Went back to the dealer, nothing wrong, built that way. It's even written in the owners guide and explains why the voltage meter drops occasionally during a drive. It has to do with fuel economy and extending battery life. The ECM controls the alternator output (voltage regulator) and is programmed to periodically cut back the voltage to allow the battery to work under a 'load'. While the alternator is 'unloaded', it allows for a little bit better fuel economy. Silly idea to me, but that's the way they build them. Other manufacturers are doing the exact same thing. So, when you see your volt meter 'drop', NO WORRIES !!! It's made to do exactly that. Eventually you will see the voltmeter rise again, whenever the computer decides it's time to boost battery/system voltage again. Sometimes in my Silverado, it is literally DAYS before that happens. Crazy stuff, but that's the way it's built. Look and verify in your factory owners guide/owners manual, it's there in black and white !!!!

A new vehicle will have issues also and you won’t know the history. Unless the engine or transmission goes out in your current van, you’ll never spend that versus the cost of a new van. Peace.

[@iguanamoat]

I wouldn't worry too much about the voltage drop on the alternator. It's computer regulated, so the computer is probably just reducing voltage because the battery is full, or it thinks the alternator is spinning too fast, or the sun is the wrong shade of yellow. For peace of mind, you might want to buy a cigarette lighter usb charger/voltmeter, so you can monitor the exact numerical voltage instead of relying on the imprecise (and probably deadened) dash gauge. A battery tester might not be a bad idea either, they are pretty cheap these days (~$30) so you can keep track of the battery's state of charge and health. A bad battery can do funny things to a good alternator (including killing it), and a bad alternator can do funny things to a good battery (also including killing it) so it's good to have an idea of the health of both.
