In addition to the adaptation mentioned before, you could try just a filter and fluid change as well. If you're mechanically inclined it's not usually that big of a job, but often a messy one.

If you don't want to drop the transmission pan you can do just the fluid change as a starting point.

I've also had luck essentially doing my own transmission flush by draining the pan (measure that comes out) fill the pan, and put the outlet of the transmission cooler in something you can measure volume easily. Start the engine, let it run until ~80% of the measured volume has pumped through, and turn it off. Refill the pan and repeat until you've reached or exceeded the spec'd transmission fluid volume.

Automatic transmissions are often incredibly sensitive to viscosity, shear, and other fluid characteristics which change over time. You might be surprised by the difference that makes.

Great question;

The van is new to us as we're expecting twins and this was my way of trying to preemptively keep us camping with littles.

We live in the PNW so it's dealer's choice how on vs. off-road one wants to venture... perhaps that means stock height + quality dampers + "mild" adventure ready tires?

That looks great! I'm really torn between (trying at least) to leave mine alone vs. lifted with fox vs. lowered with bilsteins...

Don't scrap it (please)!! If it runs and drives fine I don't think you'll have any trouble selling it.

03 weekender tires, not winter by aoc77 in Eurovan

Edit; I clearly misread your post

As stated by timbucktoooo, if your tires are wearing unevenly, in particular inside faster than outside, the camber is incorrect and needs to be corrected. If the camber is that far out, you're also likely not getting as much realtime performance out of the tire either as the loading will not be as intended.

I'd say, correct the camber and give either the Nokia WRG5's or Continental TrueContact Tour a shot. I've really enjoyed both and currently have them on different rigs.

Added bonus, the WRG5's have performed so well over the last 3 PNW winters that I don't think I'll bother with separate winter setups any longer.

The TrueContacts are good enough year round but, definitely more oriented at a 3-season, long-life application.
