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.

Loving the wonderful adventures of One Advanture at a Time! 👍👍👍👍👍😁

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

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.

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! 🤙

Keep our Roodle far, far away from them gators please!

Sad transmission troubles on a 3 year old Van. Hope that flush lasts for a long time.

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!

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.

Another great video guys

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🤠💖😎

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! 💖🏵🤗🌞

I installed timberline springs on the rear of my road track I saw a 98% improvement in the front end handling. I'm in Cookeville Tennessee right now.

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🤣😝😜

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!

Great video. Your warranty should cover your transmission. Hopefully not too soon. HAPPY TRAILS

Semi-Retired Bob is semi-famous now!

The flowers...those are blood clover/fox tail clover...very pretty :-) Be careful out there :-)

Hope you get your van fixed under the warranty...

Have fun and take care and take it easy and enjoy it

Nice video as usual!

This was very helpful. Will get the sumosprings for my rig. Thanks

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! :)

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.

Tucker just heard Roodle and really got excited

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 👍

Hope you found a good camping spot! 🏕 😊

We hope to visit this place one day. Travel safe. from td adventures

Anyone who owns an RV knows that pit of the stomach feeling when major items need service. This too shall pass.

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

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???

Hey Dave how many miles are on the van?

Do you guys have a video where you go over the cost of your van, and cost of build out? Great vid!

How many miles are on your van? I recently bought a 2018, 3500 extended with about 60,000.

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!

Lovely to have the transmission vs struts choice. Which will hit you first, right?. Just think though, you may be heavy, but you’ve got it all.

Oh no on transmission problems. Hope it gives you enough time to save. Interested in why those campgrounds are closed.

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!

Hey I heard transmission flushes are super bad for vehicles.

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!)?

Hopefully the Transmission will be under warranty as part of the drive train 7 to 10 year warranty so popular on newer vehicles.

In regards to possibly needing a new transmission, Rob is wondering how many miles you have on your Promaster?

You're famous! Lol.

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?

When was the last time that you change the transmission oil?

How many miles do you have on your van and how many did you have when you bought it?

Glad you were able to get your tranny serviced. I hope it hangs in there for a long time. How many miles do you have on it?

How many miles do you have on your Promaster???

Hey Dave is possible to save your Transmission from getting worse if you flush it a few times a year?

How many miles are in the van?

How many miles on the van?

🖐🌻🌹

FIRST!...it's not as glamorous as it sounds. :(

Transmission flush😖 Don't do them. Just drain. Don't flush.

How many miles on your van ?

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.

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!!!
