Glad I watched this first or I would have tore a lot of things apart, I just replaced the blower motor on my 2017 XD with the gas engine and yes that ECM module is only for the Diesel's. If you have the gas version that ECM is replaced with a styrofoam block that's the same shape and you can easily remove it from behind the carpet and have more than enough room to drop the blower motor out.
We are going to Los Algodones for dental and optical. This will be our first trip. The information you provided has been very helpful. Thank you!
@@dawnwoodruff7513 Good luck!
@@parkininparadise We completed our trip and are back home. It was a positive trip and we plan to go back for major dental work! Our only regret is we didn't do this sooner!
@dawnwoodruff7513 So glad it was good for you! Lunch at Molcas is a must when you go back.
They got a lot of bad reviews..
I can also highly recommend SANI Dental to anyone needing affordable dental work. I was a patient there in March 2024 for a full mouth (upper and lower) restoration. Like you I am happy to report on the friendliness, the professionalism and the efficiency of everyone there. I was very impressed! My work is not yet finished of course, I am just coming up on six months of healing before permanent teeth will be attached to the implants. The temporary acrylic prostheses I've had in my mouth these months have been trouble free. About cost, in the USA I was quoted $50,000 to $55,000. The price in Los Algodones is about 1/4th of that. I'm looking forward to scheduling my next trip there! 😀
Following up: My work was completed in November 2024. I couldn't be happier with my new teeth!
After installing the new resistor, did you check to see if blower works?
The arrogance of our dentist is unstoppable… unless we start finding the capable, helpful, respectful, kind dentist in Mexico. They EARN their living by providing a service, our dentists are scalping people …
cool
thank you so much for sharing your experience ❤
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video thanks im going next month probably sani dental how much did you spend
Great! It was about $4000 for everything. That included the partial, three root canals, and 4 crowns.
Very informative! You both look great!
You need a case of IPA after that! Excellent work! I can do my fuel filter on lawnmower, just every other year soak it in gas and dry it for a couple days, now on my 12th year! Don't even ask me to do anything else! Fabulous explanations!
You both did good! My progressive lens with UV were 300.00, I wore them half an hour!
Great colors!
totally peaceful and enjoying to see! Fabulous place, more... more.... more! Love you both! Great audio!
Yikes what a beautiful place! Enjoyed the video!
Wow! Lots of HOPE!
I just replaced blower motor on my 2018 gas Titan. There is a piece of molded styrofoam underneath the heat shield. Just remove the styrofoam and you have enough space to pull the blower motor out.
Yes! The gas Titan and the diesel Titan are a bit different. Thanks for the comment.
You never thought about getting implants instead of that partial ? They’re not that much in Mexico
Good question! Yes, I considered them. There's a higher risk of infection with implants, and in my case, they would have to do a prep that requires 6 months to heal before doing the implant. It just wasn't the best choice for me, but it might be for other people.
How scary, so glad you guys are safe, tornados are the worst fear living in an RV. On a positive note, what a pretty campground. Thanks for sharing the campsite with us too- Wander On- Kyle and Michelle
Yes, it was scary! Wonderful campground. We found Illinois to be surprisingly beautiful.
awesome place to stay Fallbrook is suck cute town i love it there
great info on this video looking forward to go check it out and camp there thanks for that you earned my subscription safe travels

Perfect I’m gonna do this ❤ my blower fan quit working my 2017 titan Sv something with hump and all three screws ty gonna save me tons of money !!
May the force be with you.
The wind and idiots passing on the highways are dangerous!!
Totally agree!
Great job, I know it's been a while but I'd like to know of you changed it because the fan was barley moving air or just not at all. I'd also like to know what the part numbers you used. Thanks, Happy Camping and Safe Travels
John Ford shot movies there back in the day. It is an amazing scenery and natural beauty. Thanks I hope to get there someday.
How did it hold up ?
So far everything is great. No problems at all and so wonderful not to have pain in my mouth.
Rain gives a special spring!!!
Yes, absolutely! We've had lots of rain this winter.
This is so beautiful :)
Thanks! We had a great time!
Wow!!
Thanks for the comment! It was a fun day trip!
Spectacular blooms!
I have a trip planned to SoCal in May. Ironically yesterday a good sized piece broke off a molar. 😪 One good thing is that there's no pain, no swelling or discomfort (yet). I'll see my local dentist tomorrow here in the US but as he seems to always recommend the most expensive option I'm expecting a huge bill. I'll tell him that I'll hold off for a bit which will give me time to get to Los Algodones to get things fixed up without having to second mortgage the house👊🏻 👍🏼
Good luck with everything! Hope you can get it fixed.
Can you post the name and numberof the b& b you stayed at?

Here's the link to the ABNB where we stayed. Keep in mind that it was cheaper for us because it was the week between Christmas and New Years.
Awesome thanks so much for making this video! I’ve been struggling with removing my blower motor for over an hour. Now I’m gonna go out there and cut out the carpet and make it happen. Thanks so much.
It was a hard decision, but the only way to do it. Good luck!
Sani Dental is great. Had work done there last week. I stayed in Los Algodones while the work was being done.
That's great! Where did you stay?
Great job, ladies!
I have the same bicycle helmet🎉😮😊
Great & amazing! Luv & peace. 💕
Thanks so much! We miss you!
Gorgeous place
Absolutely! One of our favorite stops!
Just subscribed to your channel! Great work!
Just what i was looking for, thanks for taking the time to make this video!!!
Excellent! Thanks for your comment.
Really nice video. Thank you for all the kind words for us. You’re amazing 🙌🏼. Dra. Alejandra here 😊😊
Hola Dr. Alejandra! Da nada.Hasta la vista en Febrero!
The two of you are amazing.. Thank you so much for the shout-out. So glad that your experience was so positive just like ours. We have gone for dental the last two years and will actually be going over for optical next month too, always felt safe and had a great work done. You are so right about the border crossing, we have waited 2 min or 2 hours. Our friend went over last year and had to wait almost 3 hours to crossback to the USA. So glad to see you doing so well.- Kyle and Michelle
Thanks! Have you picked an optical place yet? We met a gentleman, Havier Ortega, who recommended Northwest Optical. He said they have excellent equipment. But, we don't have any first-hand experience with them.
@@parkininparadise Thanks I'll check them out. Our friends used Castle Optical and said they are great and the google reviews seem to say the same thing.
@@thewanderingshores Thanks! We'll check it out, too.
The white flower is a datura and that one has a common name of thorn-apple.
I just did the vinegar cleanout on my motorhome Subburban. Left it in for two days. All the white residue either dissolved or flushed out. I installed a new magnesium anode rod. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!

So nice to see water and lush foliage. Keep the rain’s coming. Enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving!
Such a beautiful hike, this looks great my friend!
Yes, it was amazing!
Amazing what rain can do 😊
Nice install ladies, that's the same one we put on our rig when ours went out.
If you're wanting to rotate the head of the tongue jack so that you can get the back of the truck down. We did a video for that. th-cam.com/video/qo9aGa0_mnA/w-d-xo.html

My family and I camped there in 1975 and it was a very nice park then. There is one spot in the park that only rises a few feet in elevation but the ecosystem completely changes within those few feet. I thought that was awe-inspiring.
Thanks, Mike!
