- This is getting expensive! Join us this week as we encounter a maintenance cost that was nearly double what we expected. Plus, we walk through various costs to expect on the road. We wouldn't be here if there was a little shenanigans and exploring along the way, but it may be a last for Cody!

I can't believe the dealership has the audacity to charge you that much. I have a 06 Ford 4wd diesel. I had both differentials changed. The transfers case changed $400 transmission was 250. For a total of 650.And I live in Southern California. Shame on those dealers.
Oh yummmmm. I am with you Ang-- love some pickled beets!!!
The Duck hunt was so fun. And loved the duck jokes. Sort of. 😂😂😂
Xoxo
Ha! Mixed feelings? 🤣
I thought I was the only person that washed my vehicle before taking it to be serviced 😂 Awesome channel! You guys are down to earth and honest (refreshing). We have the same bike rack, if you use the supplied bolt (where you’re using the pin) it really does take all of the movement out.
Yes indeed! That was a nice bonus!
Thanks for watching!
Pickled beets are yummeeeee!!! 100,000$ for a pickup truck 2,000$ for maintenance..... Holy Mackerel 200$ an hour labor?? Jeezy Pete....I'm so glad you said nooooo!! Common sense has left our nation... Shop around and trust your gut instinct... stay safe
It’s crazy! Thankfully we were able to save a few hundred, just a couple of hours up the road.
“Rainbow in a jar” I love pickled beets! Angie I’m like you when it comes to getting the last ounce out. My chapstick has half you can’t get out so I take a small knife and pick it out, last twice as long. I think company’s do this so you just go out and buy more sooner!
Haha! Well that’s one way to do it! 😆
I loved your video! That music just makes me smile. Blessings on all your adventures! 💛
Awe thank you!
You guys just crack me up. The scene with Angie trying to get the extra makeup out of the container was priceless! Love watching your videos. Thanks!
Ha! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for watching!
How fun. Please sing me up if ang ever hits the road as a stand up comic. I would buy front row seats. :) I have never heard about the duck scavenger hunt. I will definitely be investigating.
What? I would have sworn you suggested it! 😂Whoops!
I’m not sure people would pay to come hear duck jokes! 🤣
So far in the last four months differential maintenance, transmission, flush, and filter change, new starter, new fuel pump, and new turbo. $$$$$.
Oh man! That will hurt the pocket book!
When you said, "we have 6 out of 15 ducks," I swear you already walked 6 miles on this hunt. 😂
We may have walked some circles! 🤣🤣
Just an fyi....always check the arrow on the cabin air filter that you remove as they are directional.
Yes, thank you!
I know you often can't DIY because you're full time. Dealerships are out of control. I've found Google maps reviews a fairly good indicator of quality work offerings - use that to find an independent garage if you want to save a few dollars, but don't want the risk of Jiffy Lube and the like. If you want specific filters or fluids, ask or just bring your own. I DIY everything on my Ram 3500. Last quote I got from a dealer (diesel) was around 10 yrs ago for $550 (oil change and oil+fuel filters). Cost me just under $200 for the parts order. Add a couple (sensible) hours labor at an independent shop and you're still clawing back a ton of money vs having a dealer do it.
Makes sense!!
What's the train horn protocol for golf courses? Two short blast or one long blast?
Bahahaha! 🤣🤣
I noticed you said transmission “flush” and not “fluid and filter change”. The flush will likely ruin your trans vs fluid change.
Yes, you’re correct! I misspoke.
Who doesn’t love a good ‘duck’ joke?
Hehe! 😏
Great video, and as always a learning lesson and then the fun! Glad to see you guy’s taking good care of the older pup! Girl go buy some makeup you don’t need it but do deserve it.😊
That’s so nice, thank you! Charlie has been such a good dog. He has good days and bad, but we try not to leave him out, because his spirit is still good. ☺️
Wish you guys would still be there next week. We're coming up for Easter weekend.
Oh man!! We will probably be in TN by then. To see your friends?
Have fun!!!
@@RVUntethered yes! Really looking forward to it! My buddy has a goat farm with a lot of new born with in the past couple of weeks. It's only about 5 miles from the RV park.
@@twallaceiiI’m so excited for you! Safe travels!
The shop charges $200 an hour for labor, but I bet the mechanics working there probably barely make enough to survive. Land of the free! Lol
I bet you’re right!
Our assumption was that maybe mechanics were more difficult to get in some areas, so they had to pay more..which COULD be the case. When we had it done a couple of hours up the road, they eluded to the fact that the dealership may not use the proper hourly wage, in order to make it economical for someone to bring it in.
I’m not sure if that’s true or not, but I found it interesting.
I'm not advocating for the shop but the overhead to run a business is crazy. I guarantee the shop has to pay quite a bit for hazardous waste fees for the oil/chemicals to be picked up and disposed of, rent/mortgage, utilities, business ( insurance (theft/fire/liability, etc.) workers comp insurance, city/county/state business licenses/registration fees, etc., etc. The $200 hr. is not 100% profit for the shop. Also, a good, experienced, auto mechanic/technician at dealers could be paid $30 - $60 hr. depending on where in the country they are located and what credentials he/she holds. The guys/gals at these quickie oil change places (Jiffy Lube, etc.) earn around $13 - $15 hr. +/-.
Had oil change, rotation, fuel filter done on my duramax in Florida and travel day was close so I just “got” it done. $480. Last time I had the same service done was about $305. I will always ask from now on. We too will be going to Tupelo on Monday before heading to Flippen, AR for the eclipse. Loved the duck jokes and tour of Huntsville. Drive safe!
Oh man! I’m so glad we checked! We just ASSUMED it would be close, since it’s the same company. Nope!
The pups are so cute!! Loved the cutting of the make up bottle, glad to see I'm not the only wife rummaging through hubby's toolbox for just the right thing! Safe travels!
Ahahahah!
Fun video, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
I think he was just whining lmao ..... The Duck hunt looks like a lot of fun. :)
Haha! It was so much harder than it seemed! Yes, he was definitely whining! 🤣
I won't tell🤫.. I use the same brand, and it is expensive. At least you didn't get stuck in the elevator.. lol
🤣🤣 Those poor ladies! I was laughing at how long we stood in the elevator without touching a button! We were stumped! 🤣
I love what you did cutting the makeup bottle open. I do that also, with lotion, body wash, toothpaste. anything to get the last drop out. Otherwise it sticks to the inside of bottle.😂
Yes! Right?! 🙌 No waste! 😆
Angela - I NEED to know the name of that fancy little tool you used on the truck carpet..........PLEASE!!!! LOL What a great idea!! Curious, what is the age difference between your 2 puppies? Who DOESN'T scrape out their foundation?? LOL
Ha! The pups are 12 and 6.
I couldn’t find the exact on that I have, but this is similar. I think I’ve had that thing for about 3-4 years now.

A really good show Thanks
Thank you!
Another great vlog thanks you two for showing us Huntsville, Alabama. Cody i feel for you with all of Angela's dad jokes 😂
Hahaha!!
Get a K & N air filter
Like your videos. But wondering how you get more daylight by changing the clock? Isn't it exactly the same amount of daylight or dark?
Daylight Savings
Great video this one really quacked me up😆😅🤣😂👍🏻👍🏻
Haaaaaaa
@@RVUntethered 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video guys. My wife and I enjoy your show.
Thank you so much!
We need one of those ducks for our Jeep! For sure shocked on the maintenance cost. That is crazy. Had a similar issue in Memphis. They wanted $500 per axle to change the differential fluid. I passed and did it for less than $25.
Oh my goodness!!! 😳
That’s probably why some people don’t do maintenance at all! That’s crazy!
Love the duck hunt and jokes
Hehe! 😏
Dad duck jokes were awesome, I’ll put a couple of those in the vault 🤣
Hehe! You can have them! 😁
🤣@@RVUntethered
Hey Cody FYI the minimum pad thickness published by Ford is service data is 3mm. For your generation F350.
We have a little ways to go. I have been surprised that it has taken this long to start wearing!
Yumm! Pickled beets are fabulous.
Yes! 🙌
The wife and i really like you two! So fuuny!! LOLOL
Awe thank you!! ☺️
FUNNY, no finding Ducks for me.
Ha! That was so much harder than we thought it would be!
It wasn't a wild goose chase, it was a wild duck chase. Bwahaha!
🤣🤣
Ceramic brake shoes don't dust as bad. Expensive but worth it
Oh nice! Yeah, I’ll look at some options for that. It’s BAD!
Cody, I replaced the brakes on my superduty with Powerstop Z36 extreme carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads. Best brakes I've had. Less dust clean wheels and awesome braking. Find a not busy road to do the break-in and enjoy.
Ang, you quack me up! Thanks Mike B
@@mbcb7849That’s the third suggestion! I’m DEFINITELY checking these out! Thanks!!
Cody fyi I got the best price for my powerstop brakes from rockauto and amazon. They are made for what we do...towing. Hope you all have a food week! Mike
Pickled beets are fantastic. Great videos
Yes! 🙌
Thank you!
You guys are awesome!! Love watching your videos everytime y'all put one out, If the day comes when y'all want to stay put for awhile , come to north Carolina coastal area, you guys would make great neybours, sorry can't spell!!! LoL
That’s so nice! Thank you!!
AWESOMESS IN A JAR!!!!!!!!! They are sooooooo Yummy by r themselves or in different foods. AWESOME videos and enjoy those Datsuns. Enjoy your comedy.
Haha! Thank you!
In Raleigh NC my oil changes on a Duramax Diesel truck are around $190.
Wow!
Ok so I keep seeing the gray love seat outside so does that mean Cody’s awesome duct tape fix is holding up great??? Charlie’s smile when being carried was priceless!!! This was an awesome video, I was in that area but just passing through to Guntersville area it was awesome too
We keep hearing that Guntersville is amazing! I think we’ve had about 7 people tell us now . We are just going to have to go there.
Duct tape is holding up well! Ha! And Charlie is ALWAYS down to be held. We do that in the house sometimes, because it feels good on his back and neck. 😊
👍
I agree with Cody. Beets are gross. My wife likes them but I think they smell gross. Duck duck. lol
🤣🤣
That mess is crazy for such an OCD, just kidding no judgement.
Ha! We definitely aren’t OCD! 😁 just messy! Ha!
Look up the origin of the ginko tree! My mom has one in her yard! They actually date back to biblical times! 😊
Oh wow, that’s interesting! And the fact that they often plant them in urban areas, because they are so tolerant of pollutants in the air!
Did you spot one on the video? 🤣
I've never heard any one else call a thing a hootis but one of my Explorer post leaders back in the late1900's. I've been saying that since. Do you also call some stuff a 3 speed freebus?
😂I’m not sure if that was an Arkansas-ism, or and Angela-ism. 😂
Non mechanic here. Did my own differential. Worst part smell.
That is a VERY distinct smell indeed!
My wife said the duck prizes looked spacey, I asked if they were named Kevin……. I quacked myself up
🤣🤣🤣
Too funny but i could do all that maintenance in 40 mins In fact i was doing it in the 70s on my trucks and cars when i was 16 years old lol Including engine and transmission rebuilds
That’s the way to do it!
So, don't let Cody fool you his real name is Clay Walker or the brother to Clay.
Haha! That’s a new one! 🤭
It doesn’t surprise me the cost of service… I had to replace 2 Fuel filters on my ‘22 RAM Diesel, They charged me $160.00 each for Mopar filters! Ridiculous…. Oh well, wishing you Safe & Fun travels… 🍀🍀🍀
Oh wow! That’s crazy!
You need Spatty Daddy to get all that pricey makeup outta those bottles. Look it up.
😮😮😮😮
They really have thought of everything!! And what a simple concept, too!
Why couldn’t the Mexican archery hunt a duck?
Because he didn’t habanero .
🤣🤣🤣GOLD!
@@RVUntethered 🤣🤣🤣
Cody what do you do for work?
We have both worked in a variety of Truck Transportation positions.
@@RVUntethered nice I’m a truck driver
According to Indeed, Huntsville AL auto mechanic average pay is less than $25/hour and the dealership charges $200/hour??? - crazy!!
Y'all QUACK me up 🦆 ::boooo::
Huntsville AL fun fact...their minor league baseball team is "Rocket City Trash Panda's" 😆
Oh wow! We did talk to another dealership a couple of hours away (who saved us hundreds on it) and he eluded to the fact that some dealerships don’t mark the work (the standard hourly) to a wage that’s really conducive for people to go get the work done. We will definitely be checking next time!
Angela used to be called a trash panda, because of the variety of foods that she ate at work. 🤣🤣 That would have been funny to check out.
Char char doesnt do hills….why should he lol😂
Right! 😂
👍🇺🇲
Thanks for always supporting us! 😊
“Going to eat a little Mexican”? Can’t catch a big one? When you are hungry for a little German, just remember. I’m bigger than you! Safe travels!
Okay, okay! I admit that I laughed hard when I first watched this part, but I HOPED that no one else would think anything. 🤣🤣
Cute video; you had me laughing 😆 Angie, I thought I was the only one who cut my foundation.. heehhee- great minds and all..
Bahahaha! YES!
