Bought 2002 Grand Caravan
I just bought a salvaged 2002 Grand Caravan.
Anything special I should know about this van? The vas was resting for a long time, so the idler pulley is all rusted on the outside. It turns easily though. Should I change it? It looks like it is not easy to change the rear spark plugs... any hints? BTW I am not a mechanics... |

Do it while the engine is cold. Flex-head ratchet, appropriate extension, and get in there and HUG the engine. You can reach all three with your right arm, around the driver's side. > >BTW I am not a mechanics... |
