Thanks
Thank you so much! 🙏
Normal for diesel engines to blow black smoke under load . Just burning the fuel
Good to know Tony.. cheers 👍
I love the dry Aussie humor. "Nice well well-kept manicured dirt". I crack up all the time and I find myself waiting for them. I also liked the "he took his shirt off" amid an all-female football game.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️ I miss my home land too in Laos …I came to USA since 1980
that is normal, after running lower rpm`s,sout will build up, when you increase the rpm`s it gets blone out on most desils
I have 1997 dodge wit cummins diesel. Never smokes. can get slow on hills when it needs a new fuel filter. I can on over a bit of time and you won't notice. But it's not a Toyota. Mine is a bit slow on steep grades with turns but will pull or carry anything no problem. That's what a diesel is for. Have fun, that's what it's all about.
I am really enjoying this trip
3:18 was a pretty good goal! Good job girl!
Black smoke rich fuel mix. White smoke burning oil. Check air filter first.Great video guys!
Hi Todd. The Black smoke is normal. the 1HZ does not have a lot of Torque, so it tends to struggle up hills a bit. But goes well on the highway. Loving the Videos,
Wow wonderful Laos ❤
Always great 👍🙂
As always a great vlog Todd and yes I’m watching everything backwards as usual
Your soccer play by play commentary was worth a video all on its own. 😂
Air filter is clogged
Look after the kids❤
We had an Isuzu diesel SUV in the Philippines Todd. I'm no mechanic but had a lifetime of being around cars, motorbikes, trucks and buses. My suggestion is, dirty injectors or a clogged up air filter affecting engine breathing. Google will tell you what it could be. Bob. NZ.
If the rings are worn out you change rings and valves
If the mechanic says pistons are worn out since its second hand car you change piston valves and rings
You asking about why some houses have dirt and some grass, is like in Oz where some of our Italian families 😉😅have cement everywhere and only fruit trees and other houses have grass and flowers
I’m pretty sure we stopped at that same spot last time we were there on the big climb. We were heading from Vang Vieng to Luang Prabang.
Injectors are dirty or worn. Good motor but nicer to drive with a turbo and fuel pump tune. Try an additive in the fuel a couple times. Remember they are a long lasting truck not a performance vehicle!
If the mechanic says valves are worn out you change valves and rings.
I haven't worked on but a few diesels but black smoke from gas or diesel is a sign of running to rich but diesels do normally "roll coal" smoke a lil. It could be a very dirty air filter or the injectors could be getting dirty. Both will make it run poorly and it'll be more pronounced up hills or under load but it is usual to have a lil more black smoke than normally in those situations.
I'd probably say it's more the air filter is getting real dirty after all the vids of all the dust from trucks etc. Wouldn't hurt to take it out now and again on your trips and bump it on something like the tire,bumper,log,stump to knock some of the dust out of it.
I live in an area that used to mine a lot of coal back in the 1800's till the mid 1900's an now they've started back up with a couple strip mines. There's a many piles of "dirty coal" we call slag piles from those bygone days. After only maybe a few hours of riding ATV's,SxS,s,or dirtbikes through them with one of more buddies the air filter will be real dirty. I always cleaned it after those days. It wouldn't surprise me if we also got black lung from it...haha
I really like seeing the landscape from the drone,it's so nice with all the green and mountains over there.
Todd maybe a injector service could help it will allow the fuel to atomise better and give a cleaner burn
Filters can also be checked or fuel contamination but even if a car puffs smoke and its due to oil change due it should not loose energy while on first gear clutch realised foot on accelarater.
Love the drone fly over shots. You can't blame the children after the way they've been treated. Great vlog.❤❤❤😊😊😊
👍Nev
Hi Todd, Hope this message finds you doing ok. I'm going to put you on the spot. What are your top three favorite travel destinations in Lao. Your most satisfying video.? You are legend.
You have been the biggest goodwill ambassador to Lao. You and Neenee are telling a story that needs to told. All the best. Jim and Harriet
This is a really great question Jim, and I think I might answer it in a video. Stay tunes mate and thank you
love to be in the burning season instead of the cold and damp of Scotland,Daughter on holiday in Thailand with grandchildren sent us some photos this morning to get us envious,not been in asia for 6 years now ,love everywhere Malaysia,Borneo,Vietnam ,Cambodia and Thailand
I’m sitting here having breakfast and saw this pop up. Beauty! Now I’ve got something to watch. 😊
Thanks Tod & Neenee. 👍🏻🙏🏼
What's the altitude you're driving at? If the air's thinner, you'll be down on power. And if all that dust has clogged your air filter, that will make it worse again.
If the smoke has a blue tinge to it and smells of un-burned oil, you may have an expensive bill ahead of you though.
Nee Nee was pissed at the soccer!!! lmfao!!! hahahaah
Hello there sir great videos. We're curious whats the name of the song you played at the end me & my gf enjoy watching your channel thanks
Beautiful countryside beautiful people why can't the whole world achieve thst. Thanks Todd great road trip. Bushyboy Oz.
Absolutely mate!
Cheers
Mate drone shots as always sensation 😍
The 1HZ is a bullet proof motor, been around for donkeys years. A bit sluggish sometimes which is why toyota put turbos on later models. Yes they will blow smoke when you plant your foot, they all do that. I have the latest v8 diesel turbo with all the latest technology emission crap hanging off the engine & it blows smoke as well. You will see the older trucks blow plenty of smoke when the injectors start to wear. Some of the shonks over there bump up the injector pump to squirt more diesel into the pots to give more power and they pump out tons of smoke. Not allowed to do that here but no rules over there.
Keep up the good work, great to see you guys having a good time & helping the locals. 😊
You have a 78 Wayne?
No but have had a couple of 80's and 200's and travelled with mates with troopies all over the oz on the worst roads ever, toyota are the most popular in the world for a reason. You can flog them on the brown and when you get back on the black the rattles just stop. 🙂Anyway i have worked on a few, i'm a retired mechanic now and drive cruiser wagons now, getting soft, i reckon if i drove a troopy now my fillings would fall out of my teeth.
BTY you can drop tyre pressures for sand & mud for more grip but on those rough roads whatever pressure you have, your kidneys are going to ache. 😂@@NowinLao
I have a 95 troopy 1HZ with 450000+kms, it recently started blowing more black smoke under load going up the Gillies range road than previously.
I had recently changed oil type to mineral from semi synthetic. I changed back and it seemed to reduce the amount of black smoke.
I also change oil every 5000kms and filter every 10000kms, or sooner if heavy conditions. If you want it to last longer do the basics yourself, and often; forget the after market modification/ bullshit.
Good to know, thanks for the tips. other than fitting it out, not interested in the after modification stuff either. Cheers mate
Love the car
Wonderful video
Thanks gang, another excellent vlog with all three of the stars having great roles, The colour of the sky is amazing against the mountains and the views were stunning. Loved your little ramble around the small town showing all that was going on. Such a simple way of life but everyone so happy and enjoying life. They were happy to see you in their town. The children looked petrified when you first pulled up at the shack but luckily Neenee was able to reassure them that they were not going to be abducted. Keep up the good work, I am loving this trip. God bless you all 🙏❤️😊
🤗🙏🏼!
Beautiful views from above, loved the video.
Thank you. Take care.
Such a peaceful way of life.
Much luck on your next excursion. Thanks for the pictures of your beautiful country !!!
💯🔥💙👍
Xin Nian Kuai Le! Happy New Year, Todd, Nene and Mina.
Always love your videos, Todd, informative but fun to watch due to your Aussie humor and comments on what you see, laughs and giggles like the "well kept manicured dirt" and said so seriously you gotta love it, I do, and it keeps me coming back for more, that and your drone shots, b&w photos with exceptional style, just love to see your next videos every time. Keep up the awesome work you do, and with Neenee and Mina, it's all a real treasure. You are so graceful and loving in your visits to the villages, tears every time, Todd. The smiles you bring, priceless. God Bless to you three.
Thankyou Bobcat.. great having you along for the ride mate. Plenty more to see.. 👌😉
I think that October is the best time to visit. The rain is mostly over, but the landscape is still green except for the rice fields that are turning golden. What are they hauling in those big, long trucks?
Smoke is normal on any diesel under load unless it has DEF / emission control set up . 30+ years as a diesel mechanic that is my experience 🙂👍
Thanks Scot.. yeah it only happens under load, cruising up a hill, starts to struggle, give it a bit more throttle but can't pull and starts smoking. Started changing down before it labored 👌
Great to know you're a diesel mechanic mate, cheers 🍻
Thank you JON IVY for your support to the poor !!!!! 👍
you really gotta wear 50 spf out there
Two words( change gear ) . Don't Labor the engine ..
If the car is on first gear clutch realised foot on accelarater it should be able to climb uphill when loaded.if it lacks the energy the air filters,the rings ,the pistons and valves should be checked.
Since the car is second hand if the mechanic says pistons are worn out you change piston rings and valves.if they say rings are worn out you change rings and valves.if they say valves are worn out you change valves and rings.maybe the other thing might be fuel contamination with water or oil change is due.
Happy Lunar new year of the Tiger
g-day guys
Hey Terrance 👋
I learnt the diagnosis on my motorcycle.
😊
Another brilliant video Todd..I do love it when you get that drone up...Amazing footage💯..Dry Aussie humour can't beat your wonderful Black and White stills at the end..All the best to you all from Bendigo..🦘🍺
Bendigo John.. cheers mate, thanks 👍
Loving your vids Todd! Especially the drone shots, you're making me miss my beloved Lombok. Amazing time you're having, what a life, I'm so envious. Stay safe and well, the charity work is awesome bud.
April! What a blast it is seeing you here. Thank you! Yeah.. I bet you are missing Lombok. It really is nice living the more simple life👌 Anyway, you take care and hopefully we'll cross paths at another reunion sometime. 💚
That was the first vlog I watched of Now in Laos when you two were drinking beer Laos at the local football match really enjoyed the commentary!
Was a great arvo that 😉👍
You mite what to check all air filters and egr if you have one and settings or your ingecters
👋🏻🤠🇫🇮
Hey Brother,,does Troopy have a turbo?beautiful country again! When you started on the grass across from the dirt lot,,the tall house had a real interesting looking railing on the second or 3rd floor. The reason I noticed it,,it was almost a native American design,,from desert country. Arizona or Utah. And fun was had by all,,even the shy,,parent free recipient's of the beanies! Lol take care Todd,,Neenee and Mina ❤ Ttyl,,,Marlon
I was on the phone yesterday with a friend from Nong Khiaw who claimed burning there only starts in April. I am a bit sceptical. Personally I prefer visiting during rainy season
Your friend maybe right for where he lives, but burning goes on in many other parts long before April. The wet season is our favourite time to travel here also 👌
asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/The-Big-Story/Thailand-s-air-pollution-crisis-deepens-amid-seasonal-crop-burning
Cultures vary asian people mostly don't drink tea or coffee for breakfast.
... but both are very healthy if fresh brewed
If someone starts boycotting adult comics, illustrated novels, or games that feature girls from the eastern Balkans, we'll want to support the companies that make those products.
Is it not the rings and valves plus air filters happens same to motorcycle when valves rings are worn out.
As they say mate black smoke don’t mean it’s broke
Good to know Mick 👍
How'd you get a blue license plate? I thought that was for government vehicles
Gday todd mick from down under I’m all ways looking forward to your next video top work mate. Thanks I worked out how to make a donation but still trying to work out how to become a patron I’m a1968 model I will work it out I hope👍
Appreciate that mate, thanks 😉👍
Thanks for good video! I really like Laos)) Will the burning season end in the beginning of May?
Worst of it should be gone by then, but it doesn't completely clear up until the rains come.. around late May early June
@@NowinLao thank you so much! Are you live in Vang Vieng?
@@dashalogia No.. Vientiane
With a diesel, if you stomp on the peddle, it will blow black smoke.
1HZ normal mate.. change down a gear 👍
Good to know Brad.. yeah, started changing down sooner 👌
Laos is similar to African countries.
Service the injectors
... yes, with ultrasonic bath
If the
I wouldn't be mad keen on getting my motorbike fixed by a bloke that sells shoes also.
A future video about how this guy got all of his money taken by his wife, is forthcoming.
Or maybe a video about viewers who have watched very few of my videos and jump to uneducated conclusions 🤔
... @pascopirate ... just because it happened to you, doesn't meen it has to happen to others!!!
😳 'Promosm'
You video super late it's February.
Or early 😉
Thanks
Thanks Unk 😉👍
