When your van breaks down

[@dustyodyssey]

Mission Accomplished! Thanks for signing up everyone. We reached 30 members this morning. Don't forget to cancel your membership! 😁

[@debbiedebbie9473]

I didn't know all of this about losing so much of the donation money, and a better way to help. 8:06

[@cotter9751]

Actually - so glad to learn what KZbin does to/for its creators. I've always wondered how much gets into my favorite peeps' pockets.

thanks for signing up!

[@DannyHustle]

Dude, you are rapidly becoming my fav VanStar on this platform. I have a 2004 Sienna with 250k miles. You make solid points. Also, the drive shaft cam-🔥Pure fire. Great episode. 👍 👍

[@blueron827]

Your mechanical skills are impressive. In the middle of the desert no less. Great job. My Tundra might need work.

[@dustyodyssey]

Thanks for signing up for a month!

[@DavidHuffTexas]

I went ahead and joined the channel membership for a dollar (and made sure to make a calendar entry for a month from now as suggested). I really enjoy your content and hope the 30 members in 30 days works out. Good luck!

[@dustyodyssey]

Awesome! Thank you, we are at 22 members already so it's looking good!

[@kareno5159]

Totally impressed with your mechanical skills. Can't imagine living in a van without those skills. Kudos!!!

[@vivekgani6108]

Thanks for your practical advice and inspiration! Working on an old hiace and amazed at the toolset you've packed for on-road (or rather off-road?) maintenance. For those trying to help Max, it's NOT the 'Thanks' button on the right but the 'Join' button on the left side.

[@dustyodyssey]

I rented the u-joint tool. But, yeah, I carry a lot of tools with me haha. Thanks for signing up!

[@wanderingzythophile9083]

Good info on the fees involved with those membership programs, thanks!

[@FrancisSiuChock]

Your Van is your home, so no different than doing nay maintenance around your house. This is exactly why I really like your channel, real and not all dressed up!

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

Oh my gawd I just had this same problem 😂 wish I could’ve fixed it myself. Probably because of the Dempster highway dirt too.

[@dustyodyssey]

Oh no! That road is crazy 😅

[@lowcountryfungi]

Giving the people what we want to see!! Thanks for the motivational content. I recently had my ECU recapped twice by Vanlife Northwest. As much as I love those guys if I were to do it again I'd go through someone who does more than just recaps the capacitors, once they leak it's likely they also damage the board.

[@dustyodyssey]

I sent Vanlife Northwest an email and they never replied to me lol, so I'm going to try to do it myself. Thankfully I think I caught this before too much damage is done. At worst I think I will have one trace to repair 🤞

[@DeezeTheMACMAN]

Ugh that sigh at 3:07 I can relate to soooooo much lol

[@JesalandSonia]

Max! Loving your insights, advice and honesty about all your experiences!

[@dustyodyssey]

Thanks!

[@DeezeTheMACMAN]

Dude your a beast.!! I appreciate you and what you do.!!! Thanks always for the motivation

[@mtwata]

I've just joined! I appreciate the videos showing you fixing the van. I've got an old Toyota van too but I don't know a fraction of what you know in regards to fixing cars and stuff 😂

[@dustyodyssey]

haha, we all start somewhere. Thanks for joining!

[@RedStickLouisiana]

You are a great "shade tree" mechanic. Great job.

[@camgrice]

It will always be Max Out Fun ❤

[@douglashoward5738]

Thanks for sharing the information about the percentage YT takes from viewers donating to the content creators. Keep the great content coming to your subscribers. We appreciate you.

[@dustyodyssey]

Thanks! Will do!

[@SharonBlair-p2d]

Is everyone out to make the all mighty dollar.. what a state of mind..l think if you get up and in great health...best gift of all

[@iskorostensky]

Nice remote repair. Good job.

[@dustyodyssey]

Thanks 👍

[@lalou456]

Maxs' packing list. Food and water - check. Clothes - check. Spare fuel - check. BALL JOINT PRESS! - check

[@dustyodyssey]

haha, I rented the ball joint press!

[@Shut_up_Ali]

I love this guy!

[@schadlarry]

You have some serious troubleshooting skills there. Most YT van dwellers can't change their oil.. Were you a mechanic in your past life? Impressive that you even carry a makeshift press with you.

[@dustyodyssey]

Thanks, and I rented the press from the auto-parts store

[@debbiedebbie9473]

How long did you live in the ford transit CONNECT ? What happened to it ? Also ❤please check under your ❤"I LIVE IN THIS VAN" ❤video, ❤because somebody who is a mechanic and has easy access to parts for your vehicle offered to help you get parts if you ever need it. 🍀🍀☀️🍀🍀 where do your parents live, you're lucky to have a place to work on the van, and family to help. Don't worry, Hearts only trying to get your attention. Lol 😅

[@TerbNoteldnep]

Got signed up, hope we can get you to the $500!

[@dustyodyssey]

Wooo!! Thank you!

[@rangovanlife]

In this case, the best way is to donate to a paypal account , don’t you think? Didn’t know they take so much ! thanks for the information.

[@Hunter357mag]

Done and membership done!

[@dustyodyssey]

thanks!

[@GHE2005]

I hear u about knowing ur vehicle. I'm on the road too & I took it to 2 mechanic places. Both told me all looks good & they even drove my car & still found nothing wrong. I hear a knock, clicking as I turn & brake. When I get to a home base place, I'm going to check my CVBoots and the point. How did u record ur U joint running under ur car? Did u set or take it phone to record it? I hv a 2005 Honda Element that has just hit 100k. Still my young baby. 😊 I hate the tech company. That KZbin is so greedy, 30% is what I understand they take from chats. Great that u r able to fix the shaft. ,👏🏽👍🏽

[@dustyodyssey]

I had a similar issue with my Transit Connect. No mechanic could figure it out either. At some point I think you have to accept older vehicles just make weird noises sometimes too. I have a magnetic mount for my gopro for the vehicle mounted shots.

[@GHE2005]

@@dustyodyssey Thx u Chris. U have lots of great tips. U r 1 of my favorite to watch about cars. ☺️ The noise I'm hearing is something wrong. But u r right, eventually old vehicles will make noises.

[@cingkole7893]

8:34 BASED!

[@palewis1990]

Really enjoying the content. I had my van die while driving and checked the ECU. I didn’t see any leaking caps, but had it done anyway. I haven’t had any problems since. I kind of wish I had done it myself but I’m not the greatest at soldering. Looking forward to seeing you tackle that

[@dustyodyssey]

yikes, I hope I make it back before it dies on me! 😅

[@douglasalberts9155]

Can you link the forums you resource? :) thanks!!

[@dustyodyssey]

It's the Toyota Hiace Owners North America forum on Facebook. I don't like facebook but it appears to be the most active forum on these vans in NA.

[@douglasalberts9155]

@@dustyodyssey thanks!!

[@zo1dberg]

3:17 I'm the World Champion at misplacing things. Don't even bother challenging me, buddy.

[@dustyodyssey]

haha, I guess I won't challenge that, but I am pretty good at it too.

[@jans.4157]

I get a member ship, for 0,99€, it says that from that 16% are taxes. So, youtube get only 0,83€, you even less, i hope you dont have to pay taxes again for that.

[@dustyodyssey]

Thanks for signing up. I will have to pay ~25% income tax on whatever is left 😅

[@Filmedbyak]

I'm impressed. Again. Haha

[@CaptainBuilt]

Spicer u joints are very good btw

[@dustyodyssey]

I have heard good things

[@SherrisPlace]

If you have an address or PO box people could send you gift cards… or e-transfers, you’d get 100% then of any money coming your way. Just saying!

[@AmbasFisherman]

stay positive - this is why Canadian still alive... And Ukrainian Roots would help too;) if I am right about you ;)

You hou I should have a badge.

Patreon is also dodgy. Not sure where you stand politically, but what they did to Sargon a few years ago was ridiculous.

[@dustyodyssey]

I agree Patreon is far from perfect...
