Great episode loved it when you didn’t tell him you’d found it haha. With the pulley on the drive belt will you get Ford to do it or do you have a compliment of tools to do it yourself? I’m always taking loads of tools with me in my van 🤣🤣

I’ve said the same to others it was a knackered Alternator clutch pulley. Vans got 148k miles on it. The part just died, I can imagine it’s much to do with the cold, just part will be warmer when running

Moose is generally the most dangerous animal in Norway. Holes in the snow; These are very common amongst the trees. And they're deathtraps for snowboarders. They end up going head first into them, then can't reach up to unlock their bindings, so can't rescue themselves, and end up freezing to death. Shopping list for next winter expedition; Snowshoes...

@MispronouncedAdventures 2 ай бұрын

100% moose are. On the roads or to accidentally encounter on foot. as for tree hollow under snow indeed. Definitely if alone and you get inverted when snowboarding. On foot with a friends last so. I do have snowshoes now and use them later on the trip ( I’ve used them before ) . We don’t normally used them in Scotland even in deep snow, we just trudge through it 😂

If your Alternator has a freewheel pulley it could be failing causing grinding/rumbling - a kind of it works then skids phenomenon - the tensioner won't cope with that jarring for long - the tensioner is not the fault it is the symptom - you need to get it fixed ASAP

@trevortrevortsr2 2 ай бұрын

@@MispronouncedAdventures I guess when it's super cold the grease gets very claggy and fails to lubricate properly - perhaps in Artic conditions a solid pully might be better? - maybe it is best to avoid blipping the engine until the engine bay is warmed through? I limited the DC to DC on mine to 20amps to limit the load - what are you running?

Watched a few of your videos now and quite enjoyed them. Q. Do you think an electric winch with steel cable would be a good item to keep attached to your front end for emergencies. I also keep portable folding steel tracks in my SUV during winter driving just in case I am stuck in ice/snow. Easy to place underneath the tires and they work! thanks

Hello interesting Video, you got to experience a lot of a snow and not only bad weather. If I may ask I’m just curious not intending to offend you in any way but this is what I wonder often my self when I parked my van on a parking spot with a lot of space why someone is often ending up and standing very close to my van next to me instead of having like 20 meter space for quiet specially most vans use diesel heater. Just seen in the video you parked next to one 😂 I’m just curious and only asking 🙏🙏

@MispronouncedAdventures 2 ай бұрын

Parked next to them in this case as they are my friend and were expecting me and i knew he had cctv camera on this van so he would know I got there at 4:30am. I wouldn’t park close to someone If didn’t know.
