Van Life – Rehabbing a rusty 22 year old Dodge Ram Van 1500, Part 2 of Many

First things first. Changing out the fluids. Added coolant, changed the oil, charged the a/c with Freon and changed the air filter.

She already got one “new“ tire today. When we picked her up from the school district, one of the front tires was already split. Fortunately, there was a tire shop that had a used tire right across the street, so we were able to get that on her to drive her home. I was also able to find another brand new tire at the local Dirt Cheap Store for $33! and that will change out the other pretty bad tire. The other two tires are not as bad, but should also be replaced soon.

Radio works, but the front speakers are blown out. We’ll have to pick up some cassettes to test out the cassette player! Definitely need some old-school Metallica or AC/DC for her.
