I can’t express enough how good it was to see you guys and how much I appreciate all the fine work y’all did on my van. ❤️🙏 Thank you, again! And you’re right about the whole Black Creek area. It’s awesome for camping and to canoe, especially in early fall.
We would love to go back to Black Creek sometime! Sounds like you got a chance to canoe it?! That must have been amazing. It's fun having reasons to return. We hope you are doing well and your van is progressing awesomely. 😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime Oh yes! The creek is so fun to canoe, especially when camping overnight on the sandbars. There are different landings along the way, so your trip can be a short sprint or go on for many miles. It’s one of my favorite things to do. The van walls are almost done, so yes, the build is progressing well. Thanks again for your expertise!
Nice! I can't wait to see it with the trim work done. I think it will be the most professional self build van we have seen yet.😎 I wonder about snakes and alligators on your canoe trips. 😯
@@oneadVANtureatatime Thanks for kind words! There are no gators there, and I’ve never seen a snake. Just lots of turtles and birds. I do think you’d love it.
Well, another great trip! Thanks for letting me tag along, I used to be so afraid of storms, but now I kinda like them. What memories, my sister had a time share in Gulfport,Ms and we went every year! She would go to the casino and I would get out and run all over town. Then the big storm came and blew everything away, went back 3 years ago and it was all changed! Roddle looks cute with his cut! Blessings
You two approach life so patiently, always present in the here and now, making ready for the future but fully in the moment to enjoy rainy days, long storms, and even participate in Roodle's anticipation of and joy over the return of his doghouse. Excellent.
You guys always impress me with your positive attitude! You certainly get a big thumbs up fro us as a favorite to watch to keep us inspired! One day we will share where we are at with our “prebuilt” of our van (since we can’t do much taking care of my wife’s 92 year old mom)! And our Sumo springs/bump stops come in on the 12th! 🤙
Did you get a chance to install the sumo springs yet? We look forward to seeing your build progress! We need to meet up someday! I can't wait to trade some stories. Let us know when the timing is good for you. The hot humid summertime will probably not work 😂😂😂
They set the maintenance interval at 60k so people won't put in the wrong fluid (Use ATF+4) under factory warranty. The 62te is also used in the minivans and some cars. It is a good transmission but should be serviced as severe duty in a heavy self built motorhome. It's the clutch material from the lockup torque converter, service the trans. And just buy the converter when it goes out (slipping code) or rely on warranties.
It's truly beautiful along the delta, isn't it? Your video of the sunrises and sunsets were stunning. Y'all are so smart to keep up the maintenance for your van, you don't need any surprises in the middle of nowhere. Take care.
That's for certain! We are going to do a 30k mile transmission fluid and filter change from now forward. We catch a lot of sunsets but not many sunrises 🌅 😂😂 One of the biggest perks of this lifestyle is being able to sleep in. 😎
Wow. What a handyman. I’m gonna have to learn to do a lot as well. I did a lot of work on my 71 Ford E100 but I’ll have to up my game for my Ram. What 3500 did Bob have sitting there. It looked longer than an extended. Happy trails guys. Hug Ruddle for me. Cheers from Canader eh!
Whoop, giving back💖🙏💖 Friends helping friends👍😁 Don't ever tell Dave it can't be done!!! He will make it happen!! You are awesome!!Wahoo, smooth sailing!!! I bet Roodle is luvin it👍 Praying your transmission stays strong for the year🙏 Awww, Roodle loves his DogHouse (That would be a cute sticker💖👍) Oh that stormy sky!!! Great footage!! Luv the random shout out💖 Wow, Luv the closed campgrounds!!! Luvin your footage💖 HAPPY TRAILS DARLINS🤠💖😎
We are loving the Thunderstorms here in the southeast. One of them lasted for 6 hours and was the most intense storms we have seen yet! Roodle does love his new window! It's the best dog house ever!😂😂😂 Take good care and have a nice evening.
Only one of my bump stops came off properly. The other had to be cut off. I thought It was odd not being able to get it off a newer vehicle. But I been hearing a lot that it’s a common issue on the Promaster. Love the videos!
Hey guys! Fun video. I just love seeing this part of the country. Looks so fun. Glad you got to meet up with your patron and do some work on her van and yours. Glad you were able to get your transmission worked on as well as some good advice. Roodle is funny....he knows his home. Those storm clouds looked super cool. Sure hope you found a great camping spot! See you in the next one! 💖🏵🤗🌞
We are loving the spring storms here in the southeast! We had one intense thunderstorm that lasted for 6 hours! This is fun stuff, so honored to share it with you. 😀😀🐕
Hi, Dave and Carrie, you bet I am really curious to know where you camped. Your stay in the city was fruitful. Glad you got to meet your patrons, got to say hi to a viewer and got things fixed on the van. Dave's effort paid off you have a smoother ride now👌 Stay safe and have fun🤣😝😜
Thank you! We are meeting so many awesome people this trip back east! We love this lifestyle! We are currently in Tennessee heading for Kentucky and the waterfalls are incredible! Can't wait to share. 😀
Have heard potential issues w/ the RPM transmissions on the RPM forum. Which is why I also purchased the 5 yr extended warranty. Hoping ya'lls last much longer than expected, will be following.
Thank you! So far so good on the transmission. We just did the brakes today at 85k miles. Which seems a bit early but the extra weight is possible shorting the life span. The front break pads were done and the rears are at 50 percent.
Too bad about the transmission, the curse of the Chryslers. It's good to hear you are liking the Sumo springs, I ordered a set for the front of my van. I hope the transmission is covered under warranty, fingers crossed 🤞. Always a thumbs up 👍
@@oneadVANtureatatime awesome, my family is from the Blairsville GA/Murphy NC area. I use to race the Tail of the Dragon with every hot rod or sports car or jeeps I've had. Now I just take a slow drive across it and I'm glad to still be alive 😉. It's not far from where we use to run the Tellico off road area, Tellico was amazing. I hope you filmed your drive 🚗. If you get near Charleston dinner is on me.
Thanks MUCH for another great share and video! Great shots of the area, and work on the Van... hope transmission hold out, it could be pricey :( Kind of surprised too how much struts will be... All the BEST to you and cheers! :)
Glad to see your Patreon supporters are many! Did you get an estimate on rebuild or replacement on your transmission? My pro master is at 87,000 miles that sounds like a lot of money on the struts
Hi Raymond, yes the dealership said 7k for a rebuilt transmission if the warranty does not cover it. We have gone 3 weeks with no slipped gears so we will hope for the best. 😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime Did you use a additive for the transmission like Lucas oil products?Also have you maintain your transmission fluid changes at the required intervals?
I know that the Promaster V-6 doesn't need a strap-type oil filter wrench, but maybe one could take off those bump-stops. I'm sorry to hear about another Dodge with transmission wear -- how many miles are on yours? I'm glad to see y'all in the east!
We are currently at 84k miles. So far so good with the transmission. No slips in the last few weeks. We may have the time to save the cash for the job. We also just had to replace the brake pads and rotors.
I think we did cover some of that but I can't recall which video 😂 We bought our van used at 25k and spent 11k on the build doing all of the work ourselves. Since then we have added a Webasto heater, cabin window, Sumo Springs....we might be around 13k in by now.
We hope so also, Bob. We have not had a slip in gears now since that transmission service. 😀 Roodle misses you and your pool! I hope your getting some pool time. 😀
Transmission problems? well, tell Dave to quit driving it like he stole it!!! 😂 Ya'll have a good time but be safe, and let Roodle leave at least one ball in the Gulf of Mexico!!! I was stationed in Biloxi and Pascagoula MS, back in the late 80's, it was good to see ya'll exploring that area...see any armadillos???
Awesome place to be stationed at! I just spotted my first live Armadillos!! It was here in Tennessee of all locations. 😂 I would have expected it to be back in Texas.
What do you mean, you would feel a tilt in the van..like you're going to tip over?? 😲 I just bought my new 2500 PM high, I surly want to add sumo springs!! You guys are my inspiration..thank you!
We can comfortably do the corner speed limit without feeling like we are going to tip over now. We did add weight to the roof and that effects turning in a huge way. Thank you for your kind words! We hope you like your Promaster as much as we do! 😀😀🐕
Hi Mike. We have 84k miles. The recommended service for the transmission is 60k miles. Some expert transmission repair guys do theirs at 30k miles. We are going to do ours at that from now on.😀
Hi John, We currently have 84k miles on our Promaster. We just had to do the brakes and rotors 2 days ago, they were toast. So far we have gone 3 weeks with no transmission slips! Sorry for the late response. 😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime Wow, 84000mi is not a lot. My last Ram vehicle I had 220,000 with no issues and that's what you should get. Hopefully it was just a hiccup and all is well.
Hopefully, your transmission has a dipstick...which, upon withdrawing it out, I would think you could see the color and determine the smell of the transmission fluid. I'm 99.999% sure you already know that! Thank goodness it's not an Audi. The transmission replacement for an Audi easily exceeds $4,500! Would you consider a transmission repair specialty shop vs the dealer (unless there's a warranty in place!)?
There is no dipstick! It's just crazy this does not have one. There is an upgrade that replaces the pan with a plug and dipstick. This upgrade I hope to do at some point. I think they figure it's a commercial van and will be worked on in a shop only.
We have a Promaster also, and so enjoy watching your videos (and also, they are beautifully done!) --- what was your mileage when you decided to have the transmission work done?
82k miles, the transmission fluid and filter should be changed at 60k miles or less. I should have checked sooner. 🤪 Since our van is so heavy we will be doing it every 30k miles from now on.
@@oneadVANtureatatime thanks! We are at 70k....also a bit delayed in taking care of it. We're getting a couple quotes. Thanks so much for your feedback.
I deal with this platform on a daily basis, all dodge promasters use transmissions from mini vans. That is why these things fail. Chrysler puts the same tranny inside of a mini van. Stay away from this junk!!!
@@oneadVANtureatatime I assume you never had the transmission oil changed or flushed with so little miles. Trans should be changed every 30 k miles. Dont flush it, just change the oil and replace. You wont change the oil in the torque converter but at this stage you dont want to.
Yes, the last vehicle I owned was 80k miles for a transmission fluid and filter change. I was thinking the same for this vehicle. Turns out it's 60k miles on the Promaster. All future changes will be at 30k miles like you said.
30k for lots of city or slow dirt road travel. You can push to 50K if your mainly doing fast freeway miles. 30 k is recommended as your best option for any automatic.@@oneadVANtureatatime
For the type and style of driving you guys appear to be doing you should have the transmission serviced every 30,000 miles, religiously. Unfortunately it appears (by your statement of it being black and smelling burnt) you have created some major problems for yourselves that will eventually show themselves down the road, and definitely not at the most opportune time. Transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid AND ENGINE COOLANT must be changed at the recommended intervals. Most people do not know that all these fluids wear out, become contaminated (brake fluid absorbs moisture, corrodes caliper pistons which in turn damages the seals), etc., etc. When fluids exceed their recommended change intervals the mechanical components they operate/service also become damaged internally. Changing/servicing fluids is a helluva lot less expensive than replacing their respective mechanical parts.

Oh no on transmission problems. Hope it gives you enough time to save. Interested in why those campgrounds are closed.
Same here Rob! I have a feeling it's Covid related and maybe a staff issue to clean the bathrooms.
Do you guys have a video where you go over the cost of your van, and cost of build out? Great vid!
