Hello all... This has been a "fun" van to own--while it seems to be reliable enough and is holding up well, it has had enough stupid problems to make you wonder... It's a 2000 Grand Voyager with the 3.3L V6. About two or three months ago, it suddenly and without provocation dumped coolant out of...

Hi, I was wondering about retro-fitting my 88 Ram 250 with a 4 speed OD auto trans? Did one exist for this chassis that would swap in semi-easily with say a driveshaft and cross-member swap? If yes, what model and year etc? Thanks!

I was driving the car when it started smoking heavily so I pulled over, the temp was fine but then the car sputtered pulling into the parking spot and died, also some weird fluid seemed to be leaking but well get to that later. I didnt know exactly what it was so I started checking fluids...

Replaced struts, links, bushings, outer tie rod ends,... and STILL have an annoying clunk when driving down the road. Any known solutions? Thanks

Over the past few months my 2000 300m developed an exhaust bark that sounded like it was coming from the front or center of the car, not the rear. A visual inspection on a hoist (Midas) indicated that the first muffler/resonator in the exhaust chain was the problem - it's single seam running down...

I have a 2006 PT Cruiser and I’m having a weird problem. While driving, the car will start chiming (like I’ve left the keys in with the door open). The warning lights on the dash (oil, airbag, etc) will start flashing, the speedometer will move around wildly and the engine will start surging. It...

Can anyone explain why there is no $20 Chiltons or Haynes (or equivalent) service / repair manual for 1999 - 2004 LH body cars?

I just changed the front timing chain cover and I had to change the intake manifold gasket. Since I changed the intake manifold gasket there is a very loud sound coming from the engine. I changed the manifold gasket again and still the same sound. I have a 86 jeep grand wageneer. and can't find...

Well gang- I posted earlier this month and Glenn Beas told me that the AC fan might have died, due to our PT compressor making the car shake, and causing a small drop in power. Glenn my friend-you were right. Today, we took the baby in for a check up, and oil change. 4 hours, and $600 later-we...

Hi all. After having the heater core, and a front brake job done, which was needed; the next thing is having the shifter cable replaced on this '99 Concorde. When I picked up the auto, it was stiff, very stiff, to shift. I, dumbly, retook possession of the "thing" for a few days. Well by the...

My 2003 PT Cruiser has slow air pressure leaks in both front tires. The tires have only 10,000 miles of wear. The service department has told me that the rims of the PT tend to corrode and the seals break and air does seep out (a design flaw). Other than removing the tires and sanding the...

2003 Dodge Caravan w/ 76,500 miles has dead PCM. Dealer is quoting $1100 for repair. This seems very high for unplugging and plugging in a computer. Can someone please explain the level of work required for this repair? I understand the PCM is around $450, but why is the install $650? Also I asked...

Hello, Does anyone know where the voltage outputs from that supplies the front washer motor? I have no voltage output from the output connector, completely dead. I traced back to the connector before it, and still nothing. Then it goes into a big harness housing and continues on. I have checked...

Hello! We purchased a 2008 Grand Caravan SXT 2 weeks ago and are happy with it overall. Our Voyager was 10 yrs old so it is nice to have a new car. The big issue for me here is that I find the front seat's headrest to be the most uncomfortable headrest I have ever used. The headrest is not...

Greetings, My original fuel pump has been loud for 20000 miles. It finally died and had it replaced about a month ago. The new pump lasted about 3 weeks b4 it started making intermittent rattling sounds. The shop replaced it and now this 2nd pump is starting to get noisy. Could there be anything...

Hello. I have a 97 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE with 197,000 miles. Recently the service engine soon light started coming on and the van started stalling at idle. I took it to a dealer and they couldnt find anything wrong with it except Map Sensor/ Baro which I already had replaced. I also had it at a...

Hi, In the following link there are crash test results for the Chrysler 300M year 1999-2000 and 2001-2004 models: http://www.iihs.org/ratings/ratingsbyseries.aspx?id=477 The crash test results were "not so good" for the 1999-2000 models. The results were improved in later models partly as...

I have tried the on/off, on/off, on/off trick = nothing I held the trip and rest buttons in during power on and the van went into a diagnostic: Code 999 Check 1 Check 2 Check 3

My sister-in-law has a 2002 Chrysler Town & Country with the 3.8l V6. Lately her gauges have been going crazy, and it wouldn't start. The battery was charged. The alternator and battery test fine. Now after several jumps, she has no dash lights when the headlights are on. Thanks in...

Anyone have a recommendation for a service manual for my 2001 Town & Country Limited? One of my side sliding doors intermittently fails to automatically open/close. The dealer wants $500 to replace the latch assembly. I want to see how difficult the job is so maybe I can start fixing these...
