Default 90 Caravan 6cyl

My 90 Caravan died in the road last night- it will not run at all. We had
to push it into the driveway and then put bricks behind the wheels because
the brakes would not work either. I had been told there might be axle
problems. I do not know if it worth putting $600+ into (axle quote from
garage). Any thoughts? 130K miles

Sell it to the junkyard, or give it to them.

What's your problem? Do you think the advice I gave in this thread is not
correct? Would you sink money into that piece of **** he's got? Huh?

OK, you say it won't run. Does it START? Does the tranny shift?
Aftermarket rebuilt axles for this are $50 if you can fanagle a discount,
$69 if you can't. It takes all of 15-25 mins to replace the axles. The
person who quoted you $600 is obviously an opportunist! Find another
mechanic. As for your brakes...???

At $600, he'd BETTER be useing brand-new Chrysler axles! But I'd bet not...

Does he have a boat anywhere?

thanks for taking the time to read+ not bash.
It will start but the wheels do not have power- I am now investigating
transmission problems instead of the axle. I agree the 600 was way out of
line- I took it elsewhere for diagnosis
