Hey Randy I wish you would reconsider showing you geveing the mini van to your daughter I think that would be very great content and I think that all of us would be very happy with you and just to get to see her reaction would be great for everyone to be with you and your daughter I just hope you reconsider showing that thank you very much Charlie kretschmar Phoenix Arizona
Sorry this is a personal family moment and not something I want to put on CZcams.
At least film her driving away after dropping you off.
CMON MANNNNNNNNNNN@@AutoAuctionRebuilds
awkward comment 🥴
Maybe a still photo of her accepting it
You're a good dad Randy. Your daughter can now sock away the money that she's been saving up for a vehicle for a rainy day.
When parents help out it means so much, especially financially.
It’s a definite proof of love, anyone who is willing to invest in you financially.
She needs to have more children. We need for good people to be having more children. Stop letting Leftist freaks take over the world.
I think your daughter is very lucky to have a caring, loving dad like you! God Bless!
Randy you sir are a good person helping your daughter & your Grandkids keep up the good job with the variety of entertaining videos
Thanks 👍
Weird noise might be the engine mounts. It appears to happen when the most load is applied to the engine at low speeds. Check to see if the engine rocks when revving the engine. Excellent choice of car. Your daughter will be thrilled.
Bingo. I replaced the passenger frame rail mount yesterday and fixed the issue.
Finally Randy bought a nice Mini van for his daughter...he meant what he said...🎉😂
Standard Pentastar stuff, if you want to keep it on the road:
1) Replace crappy plastic oil cooler with Dorman Aluminum one
2) Y pipe to heater core, also replace with Aluminum part
From years working at a Dodge Dealer 1000 percent accurate. That Y Pipe ends up leaking on all of them eventually.
it doesn’t even have a pentastar in it
It's got a 4.0 in it, not a pentastar. Doesn't even sound close to one.
the 4.0 is not a 3.6 in any way. The only suggestion needed is have the timing belt done if it hasn't been done already.
@@patriotgarage I agree, these engines are solid after changing the timing belt. should've had these producing for more years.
I’m so happy you do this. She deserves it so much as a mother, and glad it got fixed. Keep it up randy we love it to see it!
I think it’s incredible that you are doing this for your daughter and your grandchildren now that is being a great loving parent Congratulations to you Randy
I know your daughter is going to love that car. A gift like that is absolutely life changing, especially for a family with young children. You're a great father and a great person for doing this for your daughter.
I used to buy a bunch of donated cars from a local charity auction. I got a TON of gems from there. Some People donate cars because they don't want to deal with the hassle of getting rid of them. Or they received some silly estimate that the car needs an obscene amount of work, in which the estimate is filled with fluid flushes, spark plugs, replacing perfectly functioning struts/shocks, exc.
Great job Randy! I knew you had a plan and had no doubt. I truly respect you wanting to keep the reveal private as you are doing this for your daughter out of love and not for content. You got her the vehicle you wanted and your patience paid off. You are a great father for doing this. Can't wait to see it all finished before you take it to her and give her the keys.
Nice van Randy. My daughter has a '08 Town & Country. Her drivers side sliding door won't unlatch with the button or remote, but once you release it with the handle, the buttons will finish opening it, and will close it all the way. She also has a crack on tne passenger side of the windshield. It's over by the far side out of view normally.
The liftgate on yours is supposed to open electricly, but you might have to replace the struts on it.
For the serpentine belt, getting it off is the easy part. Getting it back on is usually a chore, unless it stayed in place on all the other pulleys, but even so, it's usually a lot harder to slip the belt back over the final pulley than to slide it off. I've only used used low mileage alternators or had the old one rebuilt when I've had one go bad. I've never had to replace one a 2nd time and I've changed a lot of my own.
@jmonte5899 check out the 2017 model of the town and country with it's C pillar mounted Stow & Vac, which is an incar vacuum system.
czcams.com/video/SvteNUPyaiI/video.html
That stow and go seating is incredible until you're ubering food and accidentally spill someone's seafood lobster bisque all over them and your car wreaks of rotten seafood for weeks no matter what you do lol! Seriously though happy for you.
I am a fan of minivans. They are so practical. I have 17 Dodge Grand Caravan and it has been a great vehicle. There isn’t much you can’t do with them.
That is a beautiful minivan your daughter will love. Love this content, I am probably a minority but would like to see a little more love for the minivans!!!!
That is awesome man congratulations to you and your daughter
just so you know that is a timing belt engine. I would replace it before you give it to her. I just done one on my fathers 4.0 in his van. I hate timing belts but it was the easiest one I have done
I believe that engine has a timing belt.
If it has not been replaced please do it.
It may be an interference engine.
it is an interference engine. If the van was 100% serviced by AAA I guess it's been done to it. But I'd pull those service records one more time to make sure that timing belt was replaced recently and if in doubt do it over
Great job Randy. Love those Mini Vans. Thanks for sharing the story with us. I know it’s personal for you and I appreciate your honesty. Hope your daughter and her family get many years of happiness with your gift
Could be those engine mounts. Engine touching subframe when you accelerate
It was the passenger frame rail mount. I replaced it.
It’s called blind spot monitoring! Good for you doing that for your daughter
Also, a lot of those vans were known for strut bearings to make noises and sway car links and bushings to go out
Brother Randy allways thinking of others family or not don't matter this is one of the nicest pakeg in a van you can get its beautiful im shure the owner is gona drop a tear for the van and the van beeing ass nice and fully serviced will just do that extra step to perfection im proud of u again budy thanks for the video and the good kindness you are a perfect example I hoop it'll do the magic to sum of the ppl watching this and apply any of the examples you provide in this video
🤣 ur daughter texting you as she watches this video 🥴. Alll the best 4 ur daughter and her children with this vehicle. Thanks 4 sharing Randy.
Randy with all of the bells and whistles, check if there's a service bulletin to upgrade the alternator to a higher capacity alternator. If the van was owned by someone elderly maybe they passed on and the family decided to send it down the road.
Looks like a very nice van. Pretty sure your daughter is going to love it. She’s going to cry.
The alternator noise is cause one or more of the rectifiers are bad dumping ac current onto the dc power system. That noise in any alternator means its shot. Well done.
it is refreshing to see you know what life is really about i can see you are as excited as she is going to be, treasure the moment
You are an awesome dad Randy good deal on the Van. It's gonna be a big help to your daughter
Have them check and replace the plugs if needed? Send it to Bryan at the Auto Spa so it is nice and clean for her? Only the best for your Daughter! I agree, it is a private family moment, same as when you gave Uncle Ron a vehicle......
Good on you Randy!
That Mini Van is awesome!
Super clean! Nice looking! Runs great!
Your Daughter is going to love it! Perfect vehicle for her and the Family!
Well Done!
A Dad is the best friend a daughter can have ...........................
I saw the mini van when you were fixing the head rest in the BMW
This is such a lovely gesture!❤ Randy, you're a good dad, she's lucky she has you. 😁
Blessed channel! Thank you for teaching me how to if I need too! Thank you Randy
Good job Randy, 👏 👍 good dad ! For looking out for your daughter, And your grand kids !😊
Thank you for showing the work, I have learned SO much from this channel. I hope your daughter loves it.
Fantastic video randy 👏 as a new father myself there's nothing I wouldn't do for my little one. Out of the hundreds and hundreds of videos of yours I've watched this was truly one of my favorites.
Your daughter is going to love it I have a 2013 Chrysler town and country limited my wife and kids really loves ours mine is fully loaded
I have exactly the same but older 2008 I have since NEW and I absolutely love-it ❤️❤️❤️
It's awesome you are helping your kid. So here's what I can tell you about this van that you purchased from my years of running a Chrysler Dealership. Great Van!!! Limited is the fully loaded trim and, this one looks like it has everything. The box under the Mirror is for Rain-Sensing wipers which it should have. It also has a Saftey Pak that gets you the Backup Camera and Blind Spot Monitors as well. This one should also have a very early version of Automatic Bright Lights (Similar to the 300C). It does have all of the Bluetooth stuff as well but, these units also have an Internal 50 Gig Internal Memory (you can save CD's To It). Check the Door handles on those sliders, there should also be a 2nd row heated seats. The cluster of buttons in the back are for the power fold 3rd row in the Stow N Go. You probally already know this one but, when you do the trans service, use MOPAR everything (Fluid, Filter, Gasket). Those transmissions are tempermental with using anything else. This one is a Solid Van and a good score for your Daughter's Family. It has every pedigree that I look for when I acquire vehicles for family. And Most Important, To use the Media on your phone, You have to use the USB outlet that is in the left side of the upper glovebox.
Thank you for the helpful information I appreciate it!
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds So, I'm taking my first EV for the weekend. We just got a 2020 Hyundai Ioniq Electric. I've driven the Volvo XC40 and C40 and the Mach E so, I'm curious as to how this compares
I’ve heard great things about the Ioniq!
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds I can tell you this, 100 percent true. Hands down my favorite to drive home from the lot. I did a 12 minute walkaround video on it.
Great choice for the family Randy. Bought a pearl white one, for my wife & kids. Took it to smoky mountains every summer like clock work 🎬🚘🔥👍.🫡
“Sometimes I forget I have power tools….” You an me both brother!!😆
You are an awsome Dad Your daughter is going to cry she is so happy. Thank you for sharing with all of us.
Back when I was in school, cars were traded or sold around 99,000 miles. I can still hear my grand parents say they dont want something with troubles.
As the economy got tighter and inflation started to feed the gov more of our money, the mileage mark to trade went up.
Some people didn't go by mileage but by cost to keep the vehicle.
If they bought the car new and made monthly payments, they prob paid about 500 buckeroos a month.
Once it was paid for, they were free and clear unless there were repairs needed.
My keep/sell mark was if I had to pay more than I did when I made a year of monthly payments.
The car would have something catastrophic happen before cost became a thing.
In the case of the van, you are talking 138,000 miles.
Now they took it in to get an estimate, they most likely told them $200 for the part and $150 for the time to do it. Thats $350. It was easier to donate the car and get a tax break then to pay for that repair.
Pretty simple thought process. Not the way I would have gone but simple enough.
This is so nice of you. I am looking forward to more content 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video and work, great van to your daughter😀
Loved the talk about hiring out the easy but time sensitive tasks. I still battle with that especially if you know how to do everything yourself.
You returned you adopted kid because he was too much work.
@@Hellcat71782 oh is that why? Thanks bro!
@@StaufferGarage yes you even made a video on your wife’s channel saying the $500 speech lessons were too much money
@@Hellcat71782 so what are we accomplishing here on someone’s video about repairing a minivan?
@@StaufferGarage don’t talk to me
You still have the thunderbird hardtop, let the boys, Ace and Nick sell it for you. It's valuable and bring for teenagers some serious money and experiences.
I was looking at that too lol
Randy, hopefully you will help her out with the auto insurance and upkeep. What a great gift.
My mom has that same van 2014 Touring, it has 130k miles and I’m about to do oil pump replacement job. She got it at 70k about 5 years ago. This should be fun!
Randy, she is going to love it! Please record it, we all would love to see the moment it goes down. 😂
Great Job Randy Congrats to your daughter and grands
I’m a longtime Mopar Minivan fan. Good find! You find quite the gem! Those alternators are quite easy to do.
I had one that was a rental car previously that Hertz took parts from another T&C to sell it. The Transmission was OK for a while then I was getting a code for one of the solenoids. Took it to my usual trans shop, they replaced the valve body and solenoids, discovered Hertz put in melted solenoids…
Hello randy I really enjoy all your videos & all the copart walk arounds so keep the videos comin 👍
Superb video Randy! Been subscriber for a while and I was well happy to see the Chrysler! Im from UK and bought one amonth ago! Great space and features!
what a van! love the color and all the bells and whistles haha. Cant wait to see it all detailed up!
Randy That is outstanding Sir. Your Daughter and her family will be Proud of that ride,
Your a good dad trying to help your daughter out with a van for her and the kids.
My dad was a jack of all trades. You and your daughter are a lucky dog. Good deal!
Such a nice van!! She’s going to love it for sure
That van is a year older than ours, but similarly equipped. The only difference I can find is that the engine in yours is slightly larger.
The creature comfort features have served us well through our kids early days, and it's also worked as a family hauler for long trips to Orlando.
A friend of mine just got a minivan identical to this except for the colour, and she loves it. Lots of toys to play with.
Your a good dad Randy
I think your daughter is going to love it Randy ☺️🙏👍
Good for you this is a nice gift for your daughter..
You have my respect Randy, You go Sir.
Love it you have came a long way …. Your Alaska fan ❤
that feature on the rear view mirror is called blind spot alert, this will be an awesome mothers day gift for your daughter !!!
That’s one of those you can’t complain if you are getting it for free. Hopefully it a good vehicle for her.
This my man, is the cleanest Town & Country 4.0L I have ever seen in years👍👍👍
The noise could be a ball joint or a tie rod that needs replaced. Jack up the van and try to move the wheel left and right and up and down and see if there's any play. It could also be a sway bar link that needs replaced.
Love that you are giving this car to your daughter. She really needs it.
3 different dads her hubby accepted her with 3 kids but not his responsibility to get her a car to take out kids that are not his wow your a great grandfather
My mom had one of these. There’s a built in flashlight in the back on the side I believe.
Yes they do have flashlights in the trunk, my father has one and it has one
Good job randy your good father to your family and your great person with a great heart
This is actually a pretty nice and kind of luxurious fun to drive van I like it. Good pick Im sure she will love it
Hey Randy beautiful van I love these, that box behind the mirror is for auto high beams, my dart, grand Cherokee and charger also have it it’s a amazing deal
My dad had 5 cars wouldn't even give me one car when i got my divorce so i lost my job and sat home till i could find a cheaper car to buy. Nice to have a real father i am jealous
Some of those service I have a 2020 Dodge Grand caravan I love my van it's so useful. I did have to have to the transmission replaced but luckily thad warranty left
Randy your a good father for doing this! I’m proud!
Love the channel. Just found it yesterday
You can tell by your voice this is a special van for you to work on.😅❤
I’ve always liked Town & Countries, especially the loaded ones like this. They even offered Swivel ‘N Go for this generation where the second row seats could rotate to face the rear passengers. Minivans are such underrateda quasi-luxury cars.
Hey Randy, I agree with you going for a used O.E.M alternator instead of rolling the dice on a aftermarket or a reman unit. I just recently replaced the original alternator with a used junkyard O.E.M one for my 2001 NISSAN R50 PATHFINDER 4X4 5-Speed. It's been about 2 weeks and it's been working great. Also had the same symptom you had with the whine coming from the alternator. I said it as soon as you started the van up that's gonna be an alternator. I bet either of us are gonna forget that sound lol. Good job fixing it on the cheap👨🏾🔧
Chris.
That interior looks really nice. Was worth the wait to get it interior wise. Even though there were problems with it, I know you are going to be able to fix it completely.
Good job. Your daughter is going to love it.
Thanks so much for sharing. My town and country Chrysler 2004 the transmission went out a year after I got it .. before that 1999 dodge caravan xl tranny went out a year after I got it as well upgraded to 2007 Chrysler Pacifica and after 5 years the engine went. Best of luck 🤞
Real nice Randy… congratulations I’m a grandfather now to she’s 7 mns now
That's amazing randy good job 👏
You are a great father randy she is going to love it and I think she will like the color on it and that is a great find your videos are awesome
Congratulations granddad. What a marvellous idea to get her a minivan. Very thoughtful.
good for you Randy looking after your daughter and grandkids 🙏✋🥳
This is a beautiful old van I think with the exception of the damage that you pointed out
You are a wonderful father Randy for taking care of your grown up daughter by being sensitive to her needs. That's a nice van too.
These minivans are awesome I have the dodge version (same thing) I use it for door dash over 40,000 miles a year. Great vehicles!!! Regular maintenance and good to go. Also they can take a hit (deer) Front fenders are around 75 and headlights around 40.
Just wanted to say that beast sounds good and been watching u for about 4 years best of luck to u randy
Everything work out perfectly for you Randy. You score big on the Chrysler Town and country mini van. It's in decent shape as well. I am sure that your duaghter would love it. 😎😎👍👍
Hello Randy. The 2010 Chrysler Town and Country is a good looking van. Seeing the inside of the van is beautiful. Your daughter will love the van.
Good on you Randy
Awesome find
