So you don't have proper diesel in USA? Diesel in Norway don't need any additive, and it starts without issues in -20 C.

@@dubious6718 We don't have nearly as many diesels on the road as countries do overseas.

@@dubious6718 I'm a bit surprised because in Canada we have specific Summer and Winter diesel. We don't have a choice, it's what at the pumps. I would have thought the Northern states would be the same.

@@blackbirdbeatle here in Maine we have winter and summer diesel at the pumps.

We specifically have summer and winter diesel here in the states. I live in Kansas and it's 14f right now. Summer diesel, or #2 is rated down to 10f and winter diesel or #1 is good to -30 f. It's best to start putting additive in at anything under 10f though.

i’m late cuz i’m rewatching vids but i think that would be fun to watch tbh

@@XxxXxx-br7eq Exactly... but i still think it would be great content!

@@mattiin92 I agree with you. He could decide to restore an old sports car if he wanted to and people would be all about it

you spoke it into existence lol this is my favorite vehicle of mavs ive been trying to find myself a hiace and am having no luck

Gives me chills just hearing it. Last week it was -15. I could go the rest of my life without that cold and be okay

I live in Maine, and I felt this comment to my core lol

The crunch is one thing, that squeak is a whole different animal

@@fenstrat84 if I walk outside right now that's all I'm going to hear... hahaha you're so right lol

When you drive and the tires make a screaming sound on the road.

Not sure about mav but that helped me. Thanks bud.

Good point! Once my late father, an MD, was held up at gun-point on a grocery store parking lot. The guy, who Dad said was a junky, wanted him to jump in his car and drive them both away. Back then Dad had a diesel International Scout and it was winter, so he jumped in and quickly tried to start it, by cranking the engine without warming the glow plugs. It would not start and the guy just took his cash and wine bottles from the groceries and ran off cursing. Not sure I would've had the composure to pull that off.

@@michaelkissane6138 such an unreal story thank you for sharing!

@@michaelkissane6138 Wow that gave me goosebumps. I'm so glad he ended up getting out of there okay! I don't think i would be able to pull that off either.

Exactly, the cranking without waiting was driving me nuts lol

This is the truth. There’s a light on the dash that shows you when the plug heater shuts off.

100%

This is 100% right on. He needs to research this shit before he heads out.

Bless the youth, so much to learn

Also keep an extra jump pack or battery and battery’s also are wayyy better if u can keep them warm should start a lot better with a decently warm battery

This guy gets it. Get a battery disconnect switch. That way when you are using the house battery and fall asleep it doesn't kill your starting battery.

I’ve heard people in the US refer to it as a dual battery system which I think uses a relay like this.

I've never seen a vehicle with two batteries... That's insane! Lol

In the American RV industry they call that a battery isolator or separator - not very creative. It’s exactly what you described.

@@Nunya58294 most diesel vehicles do, my Dodge diesel pickups have all had two, my tractors all have two, my semi truck has 4 and they are all 12 volt systems.

knew i wasnt the first one who came back and watched this after the remodeling

wait..... it snowed in Georgia once and i remember this sound. It was 34 degrees outside.... i was in short sleeves.

@@bloopereel33 well, there's a audible difference between scrunch and squeak. when I was working in a factory 14 years ago I'd go out for a smoke break with no jacket and it was fine if there was no wind, that was -43c (-45f) I think at the coldest, my sweat would plume in clouds. So it's not really a measurement of temperature to be in a short sleeve, It's also relevant how dry the air is too. The snow definitely squeaked.

@@bloopereel33 Snow wasn’t making that noise at 30 degrees I can guarantee it

I was walking in my driveway to get some wood for my stove (in crocks) and it was making that crunchy styrofoam sound lol.

Fr? Up here in Alaska it’s like that every winter, heard it yesterday. Not too cold out though

Back this fully!

More one eye symbolism....

sadly i dont think he reads the comments, many people have told him that before

yah, onn an older diesel, you would turn the ignition to start the glowplugs up...when glowplug light turns off, you'd turn ignition off and turn ignition back, until the glowplug ligght goes out again...

most americans dont know this, as diesel cars are not common due to california's strict emission standards

Yeah it’s actually kinda frustrating seeing him do that stuff I’ve seen a comment like this like 10 times

@@ianronald10 diesel pickups are quite common especially in rural communities, we don’t claim California 😉

No you're making Steve futuristic the rust bucket look is what makes him unique

"certified RV mechanic" totally bogus...doesn't exist.

@@MrLangDog 100000 percent exists

@@MrLangDog in north Dakota. RV and truck mechanics do exist. That's all they fix, are RV's and trucks

They're totally not real, because I haven't seen/heard of one before 🙄

Agreed, on old Hiaces you can hear a click and see the panel lamps brighten when they are ready - this also takes load off the battery for cranking. Also in that situation of freezing cold it's not a bad idea to carry a good, fully charged battery that's left unconnected - so any battery disasters can be recovered! I would also ensure the van battery plays no part in supplying power to the living quarters..!

And clutch down, then you gearbox is not take starting power...

Maybe look to invest in a magnetic 120V contact heater for Steve. Put it on the oil pan, plug it in 30 mins before trying to start the engine, and the oil will be warmed up and flow easier.

@@petertratechaud7277 it already has a block heater, that’s what he was plugging in in the last couple minutes of the video with the jackery

Same here

Some dont have glow plugs

@@imluxxiy I had I hiace of that sort of age and it did, so it should. And yeah they don't like cold starts.

I think that is spot on it is a Hiace and they are known to be rock solid never owned one but I would like to get one like steve for fishing and exploring trips, even got space to strap a mini bike like the Honda monkey or the Grom in there while traveling

This is more than likely a Toyota 3L engine. They have Four glow plugs. Just give it 4 or 5 minutes and she’ll crank right up.

That's what we do in Scandinavia!

Yeah he defs needs a dual battery setup so that the starting battery is kept for only that purpose. He also needs a battery charger connected to the generator, and rigged to charge both batteries. A good idea is to also diver some of the hot air from the diesel heater into the battery cabinet, to keep the battery warm. Internal resistance from the cold is the killer.

Literally 🥶

NOT EVEN CLOSE..ITS NOT ALL THAT

@@leelunk8235 whats some good camping youtubers?

Thats one of the big tips I got when I was in college. Don't use the sharp side of the knife to scrape up your food. Use the top side. I am so happy someone else noticed this. :)

This should have more likes

It does seem to have a block heater in it. He plugged it in at the beginning of the video and when it seemed like it was too cold to start.

You sure are a true gift from God saved me so much after reading this

It does have a block heater, he plugged it in the last few minutes of the video with the jackery power pack.

U should buy 6.0

Yeah, that would actually be cool.

Check in his old videos, there is some where he does that sort of things;)

Yes! That would be cool!

In his older videos you will find I believe a couple videos of where he cleans and sorts out his truck after being on road for months.

@@NragedXX I should've clarified better, i was meaning with his new camper he just bought! :)

I honestly didn't get that at all. If anything he seemed annoyed.

@@David.-_- .

Authentic Mav.

I didn’t know that it wasn’t just me

That’s what I’m saying man!!

Steve is an RV You hurt his feelings calling him a car

@@SisterShirley my bad. Sorry Steve the RV

@@kazumibear6683 Thank you for apologizing to Steve. I think he's just a little sensitive and nervous from driving on the wrong side.

Truth. Br Wils good glow plugs or grid heater. Check to see if you can run a thinner diesel oil in the cold. I also use a good fuel additive when it's that cold. Howes, or Ams oil. Keep that fuel from gelling Keep on truckin

@@jimjanik720 by the sounds of it he ran both batteries down to much in the night cause the slow turn over you could hear when he tried to start it. When his buddy gave him the boost is sprang to life. He needs to get a battery isolator to insure that his starting battery doesnt get depleted with the engine is not running.

It really is proper etiquette, and Mav has it down. He wont remember all these names, but it sends a friendly question back to them, shows interest, avoids an awkward silence and comes across as pleasant and like an old bud. I can tell he has practice with it being seen at stops. Good job Mavrik.

Run the block heater off the generator even.

Or time for a webasto setup to keep the engine warm.

1st gear when you park facing uphill, reverse when you park facing downhill.

Told him that before when he got the Bug, but he doesn’t listen.

@@fonkapollo or maybe he just disagrees...

sadly he doesn’t react with subscribers that give him some paychecks

@@fonkapollo he doesn’t have time to talk to millions of people.

It only happens with Minnesotans. Sorry to everyone else.

Can confirm, if you grow up in Minnesota you learn to be overly nice lol. Traveled all over the country, never saw the same mannerisms

@@cl1496 🤣🤣🤣

And Canadians.

Chinese have the same thing too. Also with the same pronounced name, although it gets translated to English as congee. No idea how that happened but in Cantonese it's pronounced jook, just the same.

Is this some type of joke?

Similar to the Thai dish of the same name! My wife makes it for me for breakfast sometimes

@@RadarProductions no joke....it's jook

Glow plugs have nothing to do with spark plugs and serve a completely different purpose. Not all Diesel engines have them either.

battery temp threshold too

@@jamiewhitworth7183 Every diesel I’ve owned since the 2000’s have glow plugs. Maybe you’re right though, this old Toyota may not have them. Either way, it’s always good to wait a few seconds before starting this old diesel beauty.

@@BezVik1 some have heated intake manifold elements!! It’s a cool design.

I'm from Australia we have those trucks here but there called a Toyota dyna and they do have glow plugs sometimes you need to glow your rig 3 times before it will start . Cheers keep on trucking

Yeah, for sure, for sure.

Yep. Old diesel in -18 is not a good choice. Summer vehicle only.

I just said that too 👌

And diesel additive

He really deserves this upgrade 😁

I agree

You can use a magnetic strip as long as it is not just the bare magnet/metal strips like you get from the hardware store. You can get them they look like blocks of wood with the magnet inside, the reason you don't want the bare metal is it'll scratch/mar the blade.

Ayo Oriely definitely has some. Like a blue roll that is covered in fabric really strong like 10$ magnetic tool holder next time You are in the Store. ***

That sounds so dangerous 😅 lol definitely would keep a cover on em or something
