Merry Christmas

Here are my favorite Christmas ornaments:




Winter Update

2008.12.03 - Removed regular tires and put on studded snow tires. This will probably be my last winter with these tires, since they have lost most of their studs.

Stereo

On November 26, I took out the Alpine stereo. It wasn't able to stay on (only intermittent power), so I removed it and re-installed the factory radio.

AM/FM STEREO electronically tuned, Dynamic Noise Reduction*, bass and treble contols, cassette tape player with automatic reverse, and integral digital clock.

* Dynamic Noise Reduction is a trademark of National Semiconductor Corporation.

We Did It!

On November 22, 2008, we landed on a personal milestone. I forgot to keep an eye on it when I was driving home from work. While in park, with the van shut off, on my way out the door, I glanced and celebrated. I didn't miss the rollover.

Caravan odometer = 170,000 miles!

September Maintenance (Part 2)

September 24, 2008 - My Caravan = 169,609 miles.

I drove my caravan to a Chrysler dealership on Monday (22nd). I brought it there in July to change the transmission fluid and filter. But now the transmission was bump shifting from 1st to 2nd. It turns out there was a little too much transmission fluid in it, so they leveled it out. It seems to be running all right for now.

Today, I added 1/2 quart of oil (5w-30 Valvoline MaxLife synthetic blend) to the crankcase since it was a little low.

September Maintenance (Part 1)

September 22, 2008 - My Caravan = 169,525 miles.

There is a bump when the transmission shifts from 1st to 2nd. I should probably get that checked and scanned.

Maintenance work on September 17, 2008 - replaced the water pump, timing belt, and thermostat.

Engine


V6 3.0L. 3-speed automatic transmission.
I no longer use the K&N air filter. I didn't care for it.
