So I swapped the alternator out today and tightened down the end-links. That seems to have fixed both issues I had.

I didn’t do it the ungodly complicated way Dodge calls for. I unbolted the A/C compressor and moved it. It was a really tight fit but I got the alternator out the bottom.

@Crispy
We have a local coffee place called 7brew(local family owned). That is the only place my wife will go. I only drink Dr. Pepper.

I stopped by the house on the test drive and let my kids go over it, and they approved. They love the electric doors and that the windows roll down in the side doors.

@DoubleDingo
The whole stow and go is a game changer. I don’t have to store seats anymore and we all fit comfortably. Not to mention when not storing seats those are huge storage compartments.
I find more guys like me on forums!!! I hate coffee don't drink it, can't stand it. Tried it last night for the first time in years. Was so nasty, made me make all kinds of weird faces.

I just drink Dew. Diet dew or Zero these days.

My firewood/burning forum I'm on there are a couple dew only guys too. We all hate coffee!

Ok, so now that you have it,

How fast will it go?

Really. It's for a scientific study.

I will let you know. I haven’t opened it up yet. For a van it will get to 70 pretty quick.


I've know quite a few men who drive minivans. Ironically none of them have kids or are into soccer.
So you're weird. @Arkansas_V8

I have always been weird. Lol

I needed space for the family and dogs. I wanted something that had lower miles and was in good shape.

I have been searching for a couple months. I have gone and looked at countless vehicles, this finally fit the bill.

Has been a long while since I bought a vehicle but I don’t remember 250,000 miles commanding such high prices for anything but a diesel.

It’s like my Aviator, same motor as the more popular ones, but enough differences to offset all the aftermarket love. @gotyourgoat would call me even weirder for hopping up a van. Lol

It's the new norm. With new vehicles so expensive the used prices go up. Also reliability for all of them is up so there not dead at 250k with maintenance most vehicles can make it close to 300k with the reliable brands easily going to 400-500k assuming you don't city drive all those miles and do maintenance.
