  • In the world of gig, Work, transportation is incredibly important! So we added a 1998 Town & Country minivan to our fleet of Work donkeys. When Vicky suffered eight breakdown I bought another Chrysler product.
    In the beginning 👍 it did not go well!

      Yes! LoL being that I drove one of these vans 430,000 miles. Hopefully this one will have that kind of longevity too.

    I've had my van for several years now and have the same transmission in it that used to hit limp mode all the time when I bought it and no longer hits limp mode knock on wood

      Yes, if there is a engine light, it’s fixable. It’s when you don’t have an engine light that we got worry.
      Limp mode is usually fixable as these transmissions are very dominantly electronically controlled.

    very interesting noise, Prince the van was making at start of the video. I just kept thinking about painting the van like the Melvan. Hope it works out with new van, seems like the sensors might have done the trick.

    Sorry for so many comments LOL buy you are gonna be great man! It'll keep things interesting. On the 62te there is a kickdown clutch from 4 to 3:00 which I believe yours will have that too and sometimes the seals get a little Nick in them that can release pressure when you downshift. So I think that's why mine was fixed with the blue devil

    Nice scan tool. What I figured out was to look for one that was bi-directional

    Oh yeah there's two products that I put in mind that make it not hit limp mode too. After changing the fluid and filter put one bottle of trans tune in it and half a bottle of Blue devil transmission seal stop leak

    • @RussShawTV
      @RussShawTV  Місяць тому

      Yeah, sometimes the blue devil can help swell the seals if there’s a leak. But if there’s an exterior leak, it’s always best to fix that before adding any stop leak technology. 👍🔧😁

  • @CHEAPROLLIN

    It's possible that the transmission is slightly overheating due to someone putting the wrong fluid in it

      @@CHEAPROLLIN I thought that too. I did one transmission service on it with the correct fluid ATF +4 I took it down to my friends at the transmission shop and have it serviced again.

      @@RussShawTV heck yeah I am thinking of putting a cooler on mine. My van would limp mode if I was coming to a stop. I was able to keep the from limping if I held a tiny bit of throttle while coming to stop. I finally believe it was the drum seal / debris. The 4 to 3 seals go bad. So if yours had the same problem I imagine it would be at highway speeds coming to a stop when it kicks down from 4 to 3rd and it would cause limp mode. Luckily the Blue devil fixed it for me
