| Chevy Express 1500 UPDATE | 31Relevance | 4 years ago | Jeffrey hughes | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... I have finally got to the DMV and have gotten the van on the road and legal to drive. Next day I took it to the shop for a general check up on anything and everything the van needs or will need. It turns out there is multiple things wrong as expected but most was minor and obvious like the tires dry rotting, however one has caught my eye, the rack and pinion needs immediate replacing. So as skeptical as I am with untrustworthy mechanics, I take it home and look for my self. It turns out the mechanic is telling the truth, the rack and pinion does need im ... | |||||
| Brake calipers dragging alternatively | 31Relevance | 5 years ago | Jaunty | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hello! My 2006 Ford E350 Super Duty van w/6.8 V-10, 5R110W 5-speed automatic and 264,000 miles shows no trouble codes. This is a virtually rust-free Floridian ex-fleet vehicle (at least twice!), and I suspect its later years saw mistreated brakes (foot resting on pedal). Otherwise, it seems mechanically sound (I've owned for 2 years, yet rarely driven). The front rotors are bad (glazed, yet true), the calipers are old rebuilds (thus marked during service) which I have re-greased, and the master cylinder may be original. Upon purchase, I did replace the ... | |||||

| Coolant fans won't come on when sitting still- 99 Plymouth Grand Voyager | 31Relevance | 5 years ago | Shemp | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi, hopefully you can help as no one else can. I have a 1999 PLYMOUTH Grand Voyager, 3.3L. I had to replace my radiator and I had a hose that was bad and my van was overheating when stopping at lights, in traffic etc. Temp would go down while driving. Ok, I replaced the radiator, the temperature sensor, the coolant fan relay which is located under the air filter, I replaced the Thermostat, the speed sensors and the coolant fans were working at first and the van was running great. Now a week later the van is getting hot again and the coolant fans aren't kicki ... | |||||
| Car camping (van life) inquiry - please help my community Scotty! | 27Relevance | 4 years ago | Jack2022car | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Scotty, I recently moved to TN and have been a long time follower and fan of yours. I'd love to start bringing my vehicles to you for maintenance not sure how I can schedule that with you. I'm huge into camping and sleeping inside my vehicle. There is a huge van life and camping market I think you could do well with if you include more content towards small cargo vans and such. Anyways, I run my vehicles all night for 8 hours while parked to get AC and heat on average 2 times per week. I typically keep my vehicles for 5-7 years and sell them after I drive ... | |||||
| Mobility Van | 27Relevance | 4 years ago | Eddy K | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Scotty, We own a Mobility van which we use to travel with our Special Needs son. My wife was involved in an accident about a week ago. (The car was rear ended as she was pulling into our driveway.). It looks like the insurance company is considering the van totaled. It is a specially modified 2019 Chrysler Pacifica, with 13268 miles on it. The car was a good car, but I want it’s replacement to be a Toyota Sienna Hybrid awd. These cars when modified (lowered floor 14in. etc). turn a van which costs $40k to a van that costs $72k. (Today probably 80K) I r ... | |||||
| Should i buy an 80s van | 27Relevance | 5 years ago | Steve 1215 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I've been looking to buy a full size conversion van initially I wanted a 2003 or newer Chevy because that body style is still in production. You can say I'm on a budget or you can say I'm cheap I've been hoping to get one for under $13,000. I have seen a couple in that price range in good condition but couldn't get to them quickly enough. But also in my search I've seen some conversion vans from the 80s and early 90s with low miles at half that price. I'm not opposed to doing an engine and transmission swap and complete rebuild of the front end. If I can g ... | |||||
| How do I fix Chevy van shake at highway speed | 22Relevance | 5 years ago | esfop319 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I have a 2018 Chevy Explorer conversion van and noticed that when I get above speeds of 50mph, the whole van shakes violently including the steering wheel. It started when I hit the brake, but now it is happening without hitting the brake. I brought it to a "CERTIFIED" Chevrolet dealer and a "CERTIFIED" chevy technician examined the situation and determined that I need all for rotors replaced and that is the cause.....Well, the rotors were replaced and the van is still vibrating violently. I brought it back to them and the "certified" technicians are unable ... | |||||
| Transmission fluid leaked while my van was parked | 22Relevance | 5 years ago | Anirudh Bansal | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty. I have a 1999 dodge caravan and just have 144000 kms on it. It was parked was couple of hours and when I started it, all the transmission oil got leaked in the parking lot within no time. Is it because the torque converter seal broke? What are the possible ways to get it fixed as I do not want to spend too much for such an old van. I use this van for my job as I deliver stuff so I need this van. | |||||
| Ford or Chevy van? | 22Relevance | 5 years ago | JasperTmusic | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I need a work van and I'm on a budget. Just a general inquiry here, Scotty's videos actually turned me off of GM products-- I was aiming to get a Chevy truck/van until his stories of GM cost cutting. Now I'm leaning Ford. Price range is ~$10k. Looking for a good, reliable work van. I'm assuming you can't go wrong with Ford E-Series but I am very curious as to what you all have seen/heard. Thanks much,Jasper | |||||
| Answer to: 2016 Mercedes Metris conversion van | 27Relevance | 5 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The van it self is weak and quite unreliable. The petrol engine in this van often can require major repairs as early as 60,000 miles, it’s the same 2.0L petrol used in other Mercedes products like the C class (so it’s not terrible, just don’t expect it to last decades like the Mercedes Sprinters do…) About Mercedes transmissions, manuals are usually fine but the automatics can be problematic. the 7G-DCT is just a bad transmission, it’s based on the Ford powershit and it has no place in a van, and I’ve herd it was installed in some Mercedes Metrises (aka M ... | |||||

| The vehicle I am about to speak about is my second van since my previous mishap with the first van. I live in New York State where all the mechanics are out to rob people out of their hard earned money. I recently bought a 2014 Ford E-250 Super Duty 4.6L V8. It has almost 200,000 miles(197k) and only had one other owner. It was a vehicle to a commercial fleet in Missouri. The Car appears to be in great shape and drives like a beauty and I really need to maintain that and make this van last as long as possible. I lost my previous van(2000 GMC Savana 2500) t ... | |||||
| RE: Best cargo Van | 27Relevance | 5 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The Sprinter is a proper good van. —— The NV200 is a bad van, some people do get lucky but It’s not a good van in general. The NV200 shares its platform with the Nissan micra (Groupe Renault B platfrom) The automatic tranny is a CVT (Or an equality terrible 4 speed auto) with either the Nissan Juke petrol engine (known to not the a super reliable engine) or a European diesel (don’t know if it was available in Canada) You can’t compare a Nissan car based MPV thing to a proper van built by Mercedes. —— If you’re alright with a smaller work vehicle.

| Answer to: Which Full Sized Van for Camper Conversion is most reliable and lowest cost of maintenance? | 22Relevance | 5 years ago | matthewdtrevino | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Don't forget the passenger/cargo van fiberglass tops. A friend of mine just did a great job on a GM Passenger van and spent less than that of my other friends buying the Mercedes vans and converting them. We looked at parts availability and cost for repairs. The conversion van market was crazy before COVID and I am sure it will return. They were turning these vans (Mercedes, Dodge, GM) around for quite a profit. The fibertop was around two grand, there are a handful of companies making them. Long story short, consider them as well. | |||||
