Having been through this nearly a year ago, I discovered that Chrysler no longer makes a lot of new parts for this van and year including the pcm.  You have to buy refurb/reman units now.  And, unfortunately, PCMs vary in price considerably dependent on the vehicle and the one for mine runs in...

Thanks for the concern Riverman.  After having this one go out, I actually already decided that I should keep a spare pcm so thanks for confirming that this is what I need to do.  I will check on ebay, but I haven't had much luck coming across another pcm on the net for less than $500-600.00. ...

Hi Fellow Tribe members! So, here is the story.  I came to Flagstaff to house & pet sit for part of this summer.  The family I contracted with went on an extended road trip at the end of May and then were going to be home for a couple weeks in mid-July, and then were taking off again for 2-3...

I am hanging out in the Flagstaff area for the summer.  I will be house sitting for most of it, but would love to meet some new folks.  If you are going to be in the area let me know!

Hi waldenbound - I am in Flag for the summer and always up for meeting new folks.

   Hi Serenity - I am in Flag for the summer and always up for meeting some new folks.

I am in Flag for the summer and open to meeting new van folks.  Give me a shout if you are in the area.

Thanks Falcon.  Those are my feelings too.  I checked out your blog site and was glad to see that you are also driving a Dodge van and a white one like mine too.  I have a 2002 extended cab conversion van that I self modified.  Hope all is well in your world!

Thanks Wes.  Keep in touch!

Hello Everyone! They say that if you wait until you are completely ready, you will never actually start or do anything.  That has been true to life for me and it certainly applies now.  So, with all that being said, I will begin the van dwelling journey called, "Van on 66" in just a few days. ...

Hi OkiePaige - PM me if you are in Oklahoma.  I am an official resident of Arizona, but I spend a lot of time in Oklahoma because most of my family is there.

Very cool FreeWheelinTravel!  I have always thought that a minibus would be a great way to travel.  Keep us posted!

Needed to make a correction to my comment to you.  The park/pool I mentioned is actually in Sayre.  I tend to get those towns in western Oklahoma mixed up.

Thanks for the input.  I typically do the same, and have also overnighted at Cracker Barrels, but I have never done that in a motel chain parking lot.  I have wondered if that is possible and have almost asked at the desk several times if that was okay.  Of course, a Prius, like you said, is...

So you are an Elk City girl.  Very cool!  I have some good memories of my time on my walk through there, even though it was one of the worst heat waves in Oklahoma history and it nailed me!  As a matter of fact, it was really hot when I was there this past July in my van so I spent the afternoon...

Perfect Brian...thanks!!  I will add all this to my list and it will help a lot! I am familiar with all this areas from when I walked the highway, but obviously I wasn't boondocking back then.  I do miss the old Cowboys restaurant near the Texas border in Oklahoma.  I don't remember the...

Hi Lenny, Yes, I definitely got my kicks back during that walking journey and something tells me I am in for a whole different type of kicks now.   :) Thanks for the tip.  I will check that location out and see if it will work.  I also realized that there is a Walmart Supercenter in El Reno on...

[Hi RoamingRaven, Thanks for your reply.  I appreciate your interest. This is definitely an indie project, and I am still in the process of deciding how I will use the footage.  YouTube is definitely one of my considerations.  I was very fortunate to have chose the time that I did my walk...

Hello Everyone, I will be spending some time in October in western Oklahoma between Oklahoma City and the Texas border along the I-40 corridor and would like to know if anyone has experience with boondocking along that path. I will be doing documentary work on Route 66 so I am not interested...

Steamjam1 - Thanks for all the great information. I have been wondering if there is a good way to seal up the PCM, which, as you know, is sealed by a gasket.  I was considering applying a coat of clear silicone around it over the seal.  The mechanic that fixed it suggested that I put a tarp on...
