Deutche brand used to be Autozone in house brand before going to stp. They marketed that brand through the mid 2000s before swapping. I started work with Autozone in 1995 when I was 15. I actually said something about this brand the other day and the young people I work with looked at me like I was an alien. lol. Time flies when you’re having fun. What a trip:)
There kids are learning nothing but good things that will seriously help them for a lifetime and I guarantee you they do more work in a week than most kids do in a year and great attitudes I love it love it love it make sure yall tell your what I said about them all of yall are amazing people ty for your channel and your contribution to society.
Dad has a little favoritism for Ralphie and he can do no wrong loved the older videos he was less annoying and squeeze does bit like anything automotive still good but getting different as they get older
I seen Dennis Collins do a little trick that might help y’all . He keeps plastic restaurant trays in his trailers and when he has a car that has locked up wheels, he jacks up the car and puts a tray under the tire and it slides across the ground or trailer like nobody’s business. Great video.
I've watched about 12 of you all's videos and love them. I'm 62, but it reminds me of when I was around 12 being at my Uncle Johnny's house hanging with my cousins. We were always doing something, fixing something, welding stuff, and just plain ole messing around on dirt bikes, in VW baha bug, just good old fashioned fun. We didn't need social media or anything else to just have fun. 😁
1978 was the last years my Dad. Was drinking too much alcohol. And on new years day, 1979. He stopped drinking liquor forever. Good luck on getting the van running again.
Just wanted to mention to Sleeperdude fans that I purchased the Sleeperdude hoodie for myself and it is awesome. It is the heaviest hoodie I've ever owned. Collar tag says Delta Fleece 55% cotton 45% polyester. Very warm and comfortable. I'd pay more for an embroidered one, but this is a great hoodie and I'm pleased with my purchase.

Great mom and dad = great kids. They say those that pray together stay together. I can only hope it is true for this wonderful family . God Bless , merry Christmas Dillon family.
I hear ya I love pressure washing everything at my house and shop when you start seeing the mold and dirt peeling off. Matter fact I pressure washed my neighbors front porch and brick steps today.
Back in 1985 , my cousin bought a 1979 E250 , 460 , dark blue and light tan , that thing would carry 12 passengers and tow a car trailer with ease . It looked awesome with a new set of outlaw aluminum wheels and white letter tires , he paid $3000 from a wholesale dealer for it , it literally looked brand new
The tractor was the best purchase you made it will tow 3 of those vans in low gear. I recommend for towing you weld up a heavy gauge tube with a shackle on each end for your safety. There’s nothing like towing with a solid bar it’s the safest way. 24:45
Something to try; jack up the rear of the van and with the rear wheels in the air, try running it without the weight on the van to purge the transmission. I did that in the past and it worked. Just something to try.
I would definitely gut those drums and get the back wheels completely free before giving up on this transmission. It won't hurt anything since the wheel cylinders are gone anyway.
I would fill that 460 with diesel fuel and let it sit for a couple of days. Break up some of that sludge and whatever else is in there. Drain it and refill with new high zink oil. Keep up the good work folks!!
Hey guys, I happened upon your (this ) video today, and I don't look at UA-cam often. In the first thirty seconds I could feel the family love! The point for me is all of you! I just love seeing the excitement and obviously big love that your family is enjoying. What a loving family! To see your kids go crazy over everything is simply HEART WARMING! Keep up with your beautiful lives. I have fallen in love with y'all!
Josh yes change the filter and fluid in the transmission. Also check the vacuum modulator. Make sure the vacuum hose is good and check and see if the modulator holds vacuum.
Look foward to watching this new episode when I get home from work... Thank you Josh for providing us with some of the best UA-cam car content available on the web! Say hello to Rocky, Granny, Murphy, Vienna, Tosh', Wawa, Ralphie, and Squeeze for me, and Oliver if he's still hanging out with y'all... "Hello from Jeep-Joe!!" Hickory, N.C.
The silver locking pull handle near the parking brake is a locking hood release. Had it on my 1980 club Wagon. From 1975 that series had no glove boxes.
My dad was a union rep for Caterpillar retired in 1997. He bought 3 ford vans from the company office. 1977 1/2 ton. 1978 3/4 ton. 1983 3/4 ton extended club. All had 351 Windsor engines. 300,xxx miles on all 3 vans. Best vehicles we ever had.
I’m curious if you jacked it up in the back and put it in gear and let it run through the gears if it would help get things moving in the trans. By no means am I saying that’s any kind of solution, sounds like your in the right track doing a fluid/filter change I’m just genuinely curious if it would do anything.
Hey Josh, whenever I use Lucas products, I always mix it with the fluid it is going in with to make it thinner. Engine oil, I will pour 1 quart out of the gallon bottle in the motor, then pour the Lucas into the gallon bottle and shake it to mix it. Same with trans fluid. Makes it easier to pour in! Hope this helps in the future.
Hey sleeperdudes and dude dudettes. I'm a truck driver and yall really help the mandatory down times fly by. Probably should be napping but knowing there's a new sleeperdude vid out isn't a very good sleep inducement. Thanks for your hard work. ❤
My dad and mom had the same exact van for hauling his dirtbike around and traveling for him and mom. You asked if those hubcaps were the factory hubcaps and I have to tell you yes they were. My parents had the same exact hubcaps and they bought their band brand new. It was a great band. I loved it even though I didn’t end up with it when they passed.
You should go through this thing thoroughly. I have dealt with tons of vehicles with bad transmissions, and I have never seen one that started to move like this. I bet the transmission is fine. You have an extremely heavy vehicle with a wheel that isn't completely free. I would work on that wheel some more and see if it doesn't get any better. As heavy as this thing is, any restriction in those wheels might keep it from moving. If the transmission is bad, it won't take a gear, and will not move at all. The fact that it is trying to move suggests that the issue is somewhere else.
Josh, that lever with the keyed cylinder under the dash was the factory optional security package.... I do believe that locked the hood... and if memory serves me right there should be another keyed cylinder on the drivers front fender for the optional alarm...
Probably should have been pushing with the tractor when you loaded it, would save a lot on the winch,and battery draw! Van is like 5,200 pounds with a locked caliper making it like 8,000 pounds, sure does look like alot of fun I used to do alot of this same stuff with my dad & brother when I was a kid, we had a old home made race car trailer though no double axle for us, I miss all the good fun!! Stay safe fam.
It's been a really long time, but if i remember correctly , there is a bolt on the side of the older Ford transmission to adjust the bands. It should be above the linkage.
If you put a bicycle tube between the casing and the hoop the inflate it a little then you have a seal and can get it on the bead. I've done full size tractor casings with just a small compressor. Hope this helps.
That looks a lot like a summer camp van, drove one very similar in the Adirondacks... full of kids and pulling a trailer full of canoes. Glad to see it running, gonna be nice to get it moving!
I'm impressed that the engine started up so quickly but also it was so quiet!! no lifter noise or even belts slipping.....You may have to add some Wawa, logic subtitles LOL she cracked me up with the front plug,back plug thing anyway I always enjoy watching you guys working together it reminds me of working with my dad he's 86 now so my brother and I do the work for him now...looking forward to next week Karl from eastern Canada
I think it was either Matt on Diesel Creek or Salvage Workshop that used a ratchet to unstick brake drums or was it dozer tracks? Your pit crew is getting better and better. Ralphie quoting the manual on ya! Daaaang! Who are these wiz kids?
I drove one of those all over Beverly Hills and Century City and West Hollywood as an appliance repair man . I drove it under a garage in Burt Lancaster`s building and got the very back roof wedged under a concrete beam .It went "bam" I got it out by letting air out of the rear tires. I never felt dumber! Our other van fit fine. It was Vic Mature TV and Appliance store van. Victor Mature was an actor from the 1940s .
That is a big van! Can't wait to see it all cleaned up with new casings etc. On to the clean up video!!! We could watch hours of your videos, not just 1 1/2 hours. Keep them coming!
@@nicklittlefield389 U took the words right out of my mouth. I was just fixing to comment this idea. Hope they c this and mke a completely unedited video. I bet it would b absolutely hilarious.
My Mom had a red and white Ford Van like this,but hers was an Econline...brings back great memories..used to use it to pull our little two horse trailer...we went all over the Country with that thing..to a lot of Horse Shows. Just love your channel!!
I really love the way the kids get in there and help with no complaints and I really think that Josh could be an automotive teacher with the patience he has with his kids and the way they do it with him
Really liked this video of the van.I hope that the transmission isn't bad and you get it going under its own power.Ill be anxious to see the next video of this one to see if it pulls and to see the power wash and clean up.
Ralphie you crack me up. Great to see an appearance from the big star Rocky. This one could stand a block flush. Thanks for another great episode. This heavy duty van is awesome.
Wooohooooo 👏 Lets goooooooo 🥰 I been waiting for this one ! Thank you so much again Josh, God bless the good old US of A. And my favorite youtube family ! Greetings from Holland ❤🙏🏻🇺🇲🫡
I love vans. Great multiuse vehicles. I turned my Chevy van in a camper van and enjoy the great outdoors in it. Great video as usual. Look at those guns on Marge lol.
Can’t wait to see the van getting a wash . She’s going to look great . Yep I’m optimistic big time . Love watching your videos the whole family thing . Kind regards. Martin in the UK x
I have done something similar to your winch trick, removing the Torque Rod Suspension from an L118 Gun/Howitzer. Those rods would not come out without much persuasion. We got 'em, eventually. Just gotta think outa the box sometimes.
Hi Josh and family! Another quality video. I’ve been looking forward to the van video since you said you bought it. I cheered when she started and when she moved the inch under her own power. She will run like the wind when you get her parts. Ralfe slayed me when he was hanging on the jack 😂. I can picture it now the van painted solid white with red pinstripes with Sleeperdude down both sides front to back across the hood pulling the trailer with the Pinto and Gremlin to the track! Can’t wait to see Part 2. Thanks again for not disappointing!!!!! ❤
My mom had a 79 Van with a floor stick shift! It had a 351 Windsor engine (69 to 96 production years) and converted over to automatic transmission. Went on countless off-road camping trips of all kinds. Plenty of giddy up and go for towing trailers or whatever. Some of our mountains 4000 foot climb up. Ours had rear air conditioning but it was under the front bench seat.
Wow this seems to be a good one to play with. Im impressed by the carburetor starting right in ip like it did. Rocky sure knows how to get attention for his cookies 😂😂 It’s gonna look good when it’s cleaned up. Im guessing your dad needs to rebuild that tranny. What a great video! Cant wait to for the next step. Think that Rocky wanted to clean it haha. Sending Blessings to you and your family. Best family videos on UA-cam. We all ❤yun’s
@Sleeperdude when you were looking up the capacity of the C6 transmission I was saying out loud "13 quarts". I had a 1970 Ford F250 Camper Special that had the C6 in it and that one took 13 quarts on a full change with filter. 😊
Good way to get the sludge and bottom end cleaned is drain all the oil out and put the same amount of diesel or kerosene as you would oil. Run it for about 10-20 seconds, turn it off. Then drain it.
Yes I have used a come along like that to free up a stuck brake drum. I have also cut a hole in a wheel that I could hook a chain into a wrap the chain around the wheel so it comes out to the bottom in the direction I will be pulling and hook onto it with my truck and give it a hard tug and break it free that way.

Please read my comment as it may be of benifits to you Josh and Family ❤❤
FYI C6 transmissions REQUIRE Type F transmission fluid. The fluid you may be using might be to slippery/slick for the clutches in the C6.

”Oh governor” 😊
They're all a mess
Yea, Ralphie was sure in a wisecrackin' mood on this one. Josh, those are manuals, Ralphie, 3 speed or 4?😀

Or just steal a few sleds from the neighbourhood kids.🤣
Kinda like the sliders we move furniture with but bigger.
Waiting for the day he makes even longer videos , would be a great day 😂 and hr and a half to 2 hours ain’t long enough a lot of us can agree 😂

This van is going to clean up real well.
Remind me next time, I see you to tell you the story of the van that I had like that that I named “the fish van“😂

Love it my grandfather had a blue and white van just like that 1980 we went everywhere in that van.
Wow this seems to be a good one to play with. Im impressed by the carburetor starting right in ip like it did. Rocky sure knows how to get attention for his cookies 😂😂
It’s gonna look good when it’s cleaned up. Im guessing your dad needs to rebuild that tranny. What a great video! Cant wait to for the next step. Think that Rocky wanted to clean it haha. Sending Blessings to you and your family. Best family videos on UA-cam. We all ❤yun’s
Yeah it surprised me to
@Sleeperdude when you were looking up the capacity of the C6 transmission I was saying out loud "13 quarts". I had a 1970 Ford F250 Camper Special that had the C6 in it and that one took 13 quarts on a full change with filter. 😊
WaWa's explanation of the front and back of the engine is priceless
Had a van in high school don't let your kids have one adult things happen in vans😂

Thank you
Good way to get the sludge and bottom end cleaned is drain all the oil out and put the same amount of diesel or kerosene as you would oil. Run it for about 10-20 seconds, turn it off. Then drain it.
I love that your children seem to enjoy working with you! I am new to the channel and love what I am seeing!
Great trick with the frozen drum... new to me!
Awesome thanks
I got to admit it is really cool to see an old 70s Ford E350 Econoline club wagon that has not returned to the Earth as rust. What a cool van👌
Yes I have used a come along like that to free up a stuck brake drum. I have also cut a hole in a wheel that I could hook a chain into a wrap the chain around the wheel so it comes out to the bottom in the direction I will be pulling and hook onto it with my truck and give it a hard tug and break it free that way.
