- Van Life isn't always good times. Lost the fuel pump in the van. Used a hammer to get the van started. Had Casey Ladelle tow me to the shop.

Your watching Primal Outdoors - Camping, Overlanding and Van Life. I am living the van life in my Ford E350 4x4 Van traveling around the remote public land system in Oregon.
When you have your van in the garage while tearing it apart for the roof, build an access panel door over the fuel tank/pump.
hahah to that last part if life gives ya lemon just beat it with a hammer 😁
And of course, on my way home afterwards, my truck lost and injector and broke down 😂
😂
Hope you’re rolling again soon - we need a rescue with those new auto-chains!
@@susansmith-franks684 oh trust me, I’m excited to use them! But my truck is still sitting at the dealer waiting on a diagnosis
@@CaseyLaDelle 😢
Good thing it didn’t break down with his van on it!
What an adventure! Thanks for sharing, Jason!
I like how you both don’t fill the air with frustration and anger. Both of you are doing what needs to be done to get the van out of the woods. You can always cast doubts but it is mechanical and thinks fail, no matter how many spares you carry. The starter on my Tundra is under the intake manifold, yea that’s right…….
As soon as I saw the vehicle with the tracks, I remembered who he is. I saw some of his videos where he went out and recovered some vehicles.
Great to see you were able to get a hold of Casey! Fun to see how you two interact.
Plenty of solid attach points,,,,😂
You guys make a great team!
At 3:09 as a heads up, if you have the wiring diagram for the relay (which is often printed on the relay itself) you can manually jumper the terminals the relay plugs into to bypass the relay and eliminate it - or confirm it - as a possible cause of the problem.
Tell Casey, women always love the tow truck guy. Your'e our heroes! 🤩
Buy an Airtex E2000. It’s a external fuel pump for a Ford Ranger. Zip tie it to the frame and connect to your existing fuel line and run power from the battery and you will be able to start and drive. They are inexpensive and produces enough fuel pressure for fuel injection. I keep one in my Jeep in case I have a failure of my internal pump.
Jackery needs to give you a new contract just for this video
Thanks for another great video 🏔🚐💨
Ive only started binge-watching Casey Ladelles channel recently and now I realise TH-cam recommended his channel because I watch yours so much. I love that not only do you both collaborate, but that you are such great friends for real! Keep up the great content guys. Love it!
I found Jason through Casey through TH-cam recommend. TH-cam has shown thumbnails for both channels in the past, and today I watched a video of Casey Towing a long U Haul with a bad rear-end.
I went to Casey's home page, and searched for something interesting and saw Jason in a Thumbnail!
6 Degrees.
The 3 minute mark, man looks like that big gauge power cable is going to rub through and short out on your master cylinder!
Great to have a friend like Casey.
I’ve had my truck fail me in some pretty remote spots, as well.
Good towing/recovery guys, and good mechanics are worth their weight in gold.
Rock On
If you have cell service, just get a WeBoost. Never had an issue with it. Living in my van for 3 years now.
I hate that you’re having fuel pump problems, but seeing you and Casey in the same video makes me smile.

Yo you loved this , and so did I . thank you for making my day again !
Here from Casey Ladelle. Subbed.
What could be better, two of my top channels in one video. Jason that bridge in background looked like Greenpeter Dam. 👍
Although the situation was a bummer I had a smile on my face almost from beginning to end.
Casey is so awesome. Haha! Awesome to have a channel colab every now and again. Sucks it had to be this way, but it made sense! 😂. When I seen Casey’s post I was like, Hell yeah, Primal Outdoors is back, but dang it, they aren’t pulling meth heads junk out of beautiful cliff sides.
I know you must be up and goin by now 1. Turn the key and see if you hear the fuel pump run for two seconds and then turn off. 2. That relay, check the numbers on it and try swapping it with another ... other than PCM or start/crank relay. ... a quick test ... also always carry extra fuel filter too. Back to 3:10 and pause off ... got pop corn and eatens goin.
One thing that be helpful is I was having issues on my truck. During troubleshooting I pulled the airflow relay and my truck would start and die immediately. Problem turned out to a bad throttle valve. But I bought a new intake airflow relay switch just in case. 50 bucks but worth it.
In 2004 I dropped the tank to change an F150 fuel pump in a Walmart parking lot in St. Augustine Florida. Finished at 2:30 AM and drove back to Richmond VA. It REALLY sucked.
You can test that relay. You need to make and keep some test leads for when you'll need them. Put power to the primary posts on the relay to power the relay. Then, have your meter measuring across the secondary to see if it's powering, or not powering, when you connect or disconnect the primaries.
I bought a Jackery 500 3 years ago. The first trip with it it quit working and spoiled my food. Jackery very quickly replaced it.
The replacament died while being stored in the house with a full charge. Jackery was reluctent to replace it but they
did. The new one turned off automatically while I was running a computer overnight. I dont think I will buy another.
Sorry about your van. Regards from Ody Slim
Let Casey know we all found him because of you in the first place…lol. Love his channel!
That 5.8 is an absolutely great motor. It's the best gas motor they had. I agree Diesels are more power and better. Most swing towards the 7.3l. And I agree it's a million mile motor. But the Trans is not. Although I hear a lot of flack for it. The 6.0l is the best motor you can have for them. If you do the work it takes to fix it. The Trans is pretty amazing too. Fuel mileage, Tq, HP. All class leading. Reliability is huge too. As long as you do ALL the bulletproofing and have the heads checked when you have it built. It can be around $10,000 for the work. More if you go with someone who jacks the prices up. But you want someone that really knows them. Once "Fixed" right. They're a million mile motor with 500hp and 900ft/lb torque that will last forever. I get 19mpg with mine at 400hp and 800ft/lb torque. It also has 210,000 miles on it.
P.S. The 7.3's can have upgrades to get more power out of them but can't touch a 6.0. But with no upgrade the 7.3l are dogs. And to do the work to get the extra power it's going to cost a lot. With $10,000 of work on a 7.3 or $10,000 of work on a 6.0. The 6.0 will have more power and last just as long with a better transmission. If you leave them both stock. Some 6.0's will last forever. Most 7.3's will. But both are pretty much dogs.
I have had Fords for many years , a hammer is my #1 tool that and jumper wire ...
Good you got your truck fixed but I just can't stand that guy so I shut it off. Hope you get it fixed back on the road again.
You mentioned before the truck running out of power. Your pump could of been in the way out. I also recall you mentioning a motor build.
5.8 SBF. Is solid foundation. Myself would do a stroker in 400ci range. Good set of heads made for the rpm you desire it make power at. As well same for the cam and intake. You won’t want full race high reving parts. Go for tq mid range 3000 rpm max tq. Truly the power comes from artificial aspiration. A clean turbo set up would leave you with plenty and help in the higher altitudes.
This is just my thoughts on spending your money. LoL.
Big fan of your videos. I saw in your last video you are planning an engine rebuild. Any thought or plans to convert Sasquatch to a diesel like Megan’s?
I have owned and DO own a ton of e350s. ..1991-2014.. 7.3psd, v10, 5.4, 5.8... gotta say for simplicity and durability the 5.8 seems like a good choice. His tranny upgrade probably makes some sense. Old school durable, and convience of EFI. Additionally, the complexity of full change over would include a MAJOR rewiring which would be a nightmare. I have contemplated a body off build of a 4x4 conversion, and conversion to a 7.3 IDI , divorced transfer. It would be a classic Jonny Cash 1993-4-2011 body/grill
..it would be a HUGE undertaking. I did save a bunch of parts here to do this. Maybe someday.
The fact that you filmed you breaking down is awesome. Most wouldn't show this part of their life, but this is just that. Thanks for showing it.
Been following Casey since y'all cleaned up Public Lands (lawnmower ). Every tow is different and I enjoy (and learn) much viewing his work. Add some beautiful scenery and his... paying it forward it's a total win.
I wanted to see how the auto chains work.
Definitely checking out his channel
Nuthin' wrong with the 5.8/351 It's a solid reliable motor. The 7.5/460 is nice but if you don't really need the power you'll use less fuel with the 5.8
The newer 5.4 is nice too (IF we're talking about the 2-valve version that went in the vans, and 2004-on. The 3-valves are troublesome.)
Yup, the 3V is a hard pass. The 2V modulars are good but make sure to torque the plugs correctly otherwise they migth blow out. Some idiot at Ford thought it was a great idea to use 3.5 out of 8 threads on the plugs. What an idiotic move. Besides that the modulars are really reliable engines.
Why would it ping and knock just with low/marginal fuel pressure? I could see it might run a little lean, but I can't see why that would cause really noticeable knocking and pinging, especially in cold weather like that. Is the distributor/ignition system vacuum advance, or is it all electronic? Just wondering if there's a vacuum leak affecting spark advance and/or fuel pressure regulation.
Glad you figured it out!
So, given a 1993 E350 2wd, who would you have do the 4x4conversion? AJs, that outfit in Redmond, OR, or the dudes in Utah?
It is nice that sponsors want to work with content creators, however I am glad you did not agreed to let Jackery start micro-managing your channel.
you can check ohms on relays
That wasn't a camera, it's a roadrage bazooka!
Dropping the tank ...
OR next time pre prepare by cutting an access port in yer floor board. Gotta be prepared
How about, when life gives you lemons…. Make a TH-cam video… lol
Just watched Cassie's video of this and came to see your channel same video but different versions 👍💯 hope you get your vehicle running quick and back on road for more adventures!
Casey called you out about you compensating for a very large telephoto lens
Casey has great recovery equipment and a good guy.
Awesome to see you guys together!👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸
If the diaphragm on the regulator fails you would smell the puddle of gas
I had similar problems with an old Volvo - it would seem low on power and barely able to maintain highway speed. Turns out it is was a clogged fuel filter.
I would argur that the old 5.8 migth even be a better option than the newer modular engines the van came with. I do have the 6.8 V10 and it is amazingly smooth with tons of power but there is still the risk of blowing out plugs. The 3V version (if the vans came with them I'm not actually sure) are somewhat of ticking timebombs since the valve timing mechanism can fail.
Anyway, a rebuilt 5.8 with a hotter cam is probably a good route to go. Diesels are 'cool' but maintenance cost is way higher and they are noisy AF (at least the older ones).
I've got an 86 with 5.8, def simpler and easier to work on though IDK about more reliable.
@@kinguin7
I just base that on the fact that it is a true oldschool pushrod V8. The rest is just a guess.
Bummer dude! A friend had a similar issue and once he dropped his tank, found that someone had left a rag in it which was fouling the pump…crazy. Looking forward to seeing Squatch back out there. Cheers my friend!
I have seen many times as a UHAUL mechanic on the Ford chassis. These fuel pumps are almost always the problem. Too bad no floor access to pump.
Love both of your channels!
You don't realize how good your life is until you remember you have Casey LaDelle on speed dial.
Beating on the tank is a good diagnostic tool. I use to work at Dodge. I’d get caravans in for no starts. The 4 cylinders would usually be distributor pick up. 5 min job. The V6 was usually a pump. Turn key on and listen. No pump buzz. Best on the tank with the key on and wait for the buzz. If it works, write it up. Easy day. Glad it worked out for you 👍🏼
I enjoy that dudes recovery videos. Hope the fix isn’t too expensive
Brother; truly admire your outdoor Van creation
Just seen your Rescuer and his channel...now am checking out your vid
I have similar issue with my Mercury Marinee with its fuel rail pressure...really lame issue ...been having issue after issue with my Mariner for as long as I have owned it...anyways
Digg your Explore Sasquatch
My '02 Jeep Grand Cherokee has had 2 fuel pumps. Yup, hammer on it, works. Jason, may I suggest installing an external fuel pump??!!?? Much easier to deal with if this incident occurs again in the future. Sorry that happened, and I certainly could have gone out in a worse location. Glad it wasn't too bad for ya. Best of luck!! See you again soon!!!
I'm sitting here wondering about my fuel pump and bring up TH-cam. Your channel comes up because I've been watching your vids and there you are with a bad pump. I have an '06 E350 with 235k, 5.4L and it has intermittent fuel supply issues. I've already changed the fuel relay and fuel pump controller on rear frame rail, along with fuel filter. I'm tempted to go ahead do the fuel pump so I don't get stuck somewhere. Curious how many miles you have on your pump?
Thank Casey for getting a new subscriber!!
Looking forward to watching your content!!
You know what they say... Found On Road Dead.
Sorry, I could not resist. Hope everything works out
And that's why I carry a spare electric external fuel pump for any vehicle I'm going remote or long distance.
Crossover episode of the year!
Oh my goodness, you said "RPM gauge" all car guys watching this are laughing at that (it's tachometer). Sorry to make fun, kind of, all in all another good video.
My Nissan frontier has a fuel pump inside the tank fuel filter &sock connected to the fuel pump maybe your fuel pump has a filter on it and it's clogged up and you're knocking the contaminants off the fuel sock
World famous TH-camr is right! 😂 Awesome you said NO to Jackery!
The Ford 5.8 was a good engine. Have put many many miles on them and would trade my Ford 5.4 for one any day. Cherish that simple engine, because when it's gone you will always miss the easy repairs.
Ahhhh, I remember the lawnmower cleanup job you guys did up the canyon wall. It's good to have friends.
sick van, bro! I'm gonna haftra check out one, or both, of your walk around vids, and you can thank Casey for another subscriber! :)

Maybe a good setup for a video showing mechanical issues on the trail, plus tools and other items you carry on the trail...
Hey Jason, i don't know if you have ever tried this or not, but the other day we had killed our car battery charging our Jackery, late at night and car had to be ready for work in the am. we have no charger from ac to dc. so, what i did was use the same jackery to charge the car battery. i used the aux 12v output straight to the disconnected car battery. it used maybe 5% and 20 min later on the jackery and it fired right up. not ideal... but it worked great. charged at like 90-95 watts. I'm a little more relaxed about having that issue again in the future. thanks for all your videos. we enjoy them all.
Sorry it happened! this should be about the last thing that would go bad on your rig , you've replaced everything else. may need to carry a spare alternator
and some fuse-able links if they still use them on fords...PS if the pressure side of the fuel pump connects with a small rubber hose , replace it I had one split length wise and left me sitting.
All that and my favorite part was that you hacked your Starlink cable for an external plug.
Sorry you broke down. it going to happen. Great video. Thanks Don
I follow both channels which I came accross on seperate seacrhes. Good to see people working together.
It always surprises me how big a tow truck looks when it arrives and how small after it's loaded. I had to have my truck and camper towed. The tow truck handled both
Is that pull off in southern Oregon? I've been there... I forgot the name ...
Casey Ladelle is a LIAR! He said he was never good at this. I calll BS. He is a frickin Jedi Master at this.
Great video, I'm loving both channels
Van life… there’s my computer under that loaf of bread. 😂
LOve you guys! I'm making my way back to Bend!
Those ford motors are always in need of repair. I had 2 and they have been sitting for the last 5 years.
What a great light hearted video. Let's all beat the crap out of those lemons today!
I used to have to hit the starter on my camaro with a hammer to get it to start. after a few months i replaced the starter. i was 19, what can i say.
What kind of camera do you use for vlogging?
When life gives you lemons, make sure you have a camera.
Oh shit happens!! Fix and move on!! Be Safe
Was that on/off switch on the passenger side?
Is it just me or does this always seem to happen with a full tank of gas?
Score! A Smokey and the Bandit reference!
Good luck Jason with the new pump
Glad you got a real professional to help you a real professional tow truck driver
I know this was a stressful situation and this experience sucked, but I like these types of videos best. Real problems as they happen with the process of finding the pathway to real solutions. Especially because it happens to be a Ford van (which I have), although the same situation with a Chevy would be insightful as well.
Jason don’t talk to casey, he promotes heart attacks 😂😂😂😂😂😂 jk
