    5:04ish 🤣🤣🤣 That's how I feel getting into a car after someone else has driven it! 🤣🤣🤣 I'm not even that tall. Approx 5'6", but I have long legs, I guess.

    Hello Luis, that sucks with the Harley, hopefully they figure out before heading south! Love the scooter with you and Lisa on it, and Lisa says feel like dumb and dumber ! 😂 That was funny! Nice to see her smiling face. It’s getting cold, Arizona sounds good! Thanks for sharing.

Gotta love making that sweet Italian Music 🎶 😍 ❤ 😆🤣😂. I'm too old to ride now, bummer, I sure do miss it tremendously but Boating is still fun!

    I hope that Harley problem is covered under warranty. Like you said, better it happened there at the dealer than getting stuck on the road. I'll say a prayer that it works out well. These newer Harley's are lacking in reliability. Glad to see you took the car in the rain. Four wheels on the ground are just safer than two. Stay warm and stay safe. God Bless you both.

    • @RollingEarthShip

    Hi, Louie, Lisa and Marina ( have not seen her in a while) even the Orange kitty searching for his friend. Keep up your good attitude. As I have mentioned before, our attitudes are not going to change our mishaps, so why have a bad one☺. Prayerfully, everything will get taken care of mechanically on the bike before you leave. We had our first big snow storm, love the beauty of the fresh snow. You two stay safe and warm ok God Bless..🚐🏍☃🐈‍⬛💕

    Hello, curious about how’s the pulling power on the dodge van pulling a trailer?
    I’m considering getting a van and would be pulling a 6+12 cargo trailer. Thanks 👍

    • @JG-kv4oi
      @JG-kv4oi 2 месяца назад +3

      2020 Promaster 3.6 V6= 280 hp / 260 lb ft torque compared to a 76 Chev van 350 cu inch V8 = 165hp / 255 lb ft torque.
      I've towed a 4500 lb dump bed trailer with my '20 Promaster, it handled it well. Would I want to drive across the country and climbing passes towing that much weigh? No.
      A 3.5 Ecoboost Ford with RWD would handle it better, but that van has a higher floor than the Promaster and the Ecoboost issues at 100k + miles. But all the modern vehicles have tech issues so pick your poison

    • @donnanderson42
      @donnanderson42 2 месяца назад +1

      @ thanks, yeah the Ford with eco boost is what I’m swayed towards.

    • @JG-kv4oi
      @JG-kv4oi 2 месяца назад +3

      @donnanderson42 Ford Ecoboost 3.5. Main thing is change your oil every 3500 or 4000 miles with the oil recommended in your owners manual. I don't care if Ford recommends 8k or 10k oil changes, that's a selling point and yes they need these vehicles to break down and wear out after they're out of warranty as their profit comes from the service department and not the showroom. Beware the oil change places, they're going to put in what comes out of their barrel, ie less quality. They're in business to make money on your oil change. Buy the best oil and change, change, change it. Did I mention you should change your oil often? It's so important because that's a variable valve timing motor and has two turbos. You don't change it often and you start to build varnish and vvt doesn't like varnish. It gets expensive fast. Also let your vehicle idle a few minutes before you turn your key off, especially important whilst towing as this lets cooler oil cool off the turbo bearings and keeps the oil from coking in the bearings. And do a spill and fill on the trans every 30k if the trans isn't "sealed for life". Do a search on this motor and learn its weak points so you are watching and aware of its failures and be proactive in replacing these weak parts before failure.
      Do these things plus other regular maintenance and I'd bet you go 150 or 200k pretty trouble free.
