Good video mate. Thanks very much.
enjoyed the video , thanks for the tips !
Thanks Michael. This was an amazing technique to doing this job. I have
tried this on ramps before when I first got the car it took a few hours
just to change the spark plugs and wires hand contortionism and pain. It
took about a half hour to remove the windshield wiper assembly and the
whole back half of the motor opened up. It took a miserable job and made
it rather easy. Maybe not as fast perhaps but you will be able to get to
everything with ease. While your at it you have easy access to oxygen
sensor, power steering pump, exhaust manifold bolts (two of the six bolts
were at least two turns loose on my car) valve cover bolts. With this
open for visual inspection you may be able to find and replace other things
as well. I made the mistake of changing out a bad power steering pump a
few years ago without pulling this out it took me 6 hours plus to get it
out and done. A highly miserable six hours. With this assembly out, I
imagine it would only take an hour or two to change out. This is totally
worth it. Thanks again, and great video Michael
WOW SO MUCH EXTRA WORK PULLING THAT ASSEMBLY OFF. AT THE DEALER WE JUST DO
IT FROM THE BOTTOM, NO TIME LOST SCREWING WITH ALL THIS EXTRA… YOU can do
it at home from under too if you drive it up on ramps… 21 years DODGE
DEALER ASE MASTER MECHANIC, and i own two of these POS Vans.
YES! THANK YOU MAN! it’s the EXACT same thing on my 2001 town and country
LX. I was curious where to start after removing the plastic cover… now i
see it’s nothing big. I’m doing it to replace the upstream O2 sensor
because of a code, but while there i’m also going to replace the plugs and
wires since they are original and the van has just hit 100K miles. Thanks
so much. Marry christmas and great new year ;)
It makes it so easy. Safe up to $142.00
Very helpful, now ill be able to help my friend out. As for the ASE
mechanic, thats y i stopped taking my car to dealer ships cuz they don’t
take their time to do it right. Then when spark plugs threads are striped
they don’t man up to their mistakes but yet wana charge to fix their screw
ups. So as for this guy showing video, this is who i would take my car to.
Thumbs up homie
Very nicely done. The video is simple and straightforward. Thanks much
for the tip on removing the cowling. I might have thought of that myself –
a week or two after I’d thrown out my shoulder and busted my knuckles
trying to do it the hard way!
Thank you from Japan! Arigato!
Thank You Michael
Extremely helpful video man I appreciate this so much I just wish I
would’ve watched this before I flush the heater core
It’s all good for a 3.3 but not for a 3.8. The intake is in the way had to
go to a service garage for them to go under the van to reach the rear plugs.
thanks! my Dad watched this and he said it was great.
@308dreamer It is nice to see the video helped you!
Your welcome.
Well done, great video, don’t see why other have more views than yours. One
thing i would change about your procedure, is using that compressed air to
clean around as you are throwing dirt around, leaving some for the piston,
if you want to clean the area, don’t completely remove the plug so that you
still protect the inside of the cylinder.
Great Video. I have a 2000 of the same model…would this apply for that
year as well?
awesome!! thanks
Hi Mike, thanks for the great video on gaining access to the rear spark
plugs on a Voyager. You saved me a lot of time in trying to to access it
from underneath which is hell if you do not have a lift. You also saved me
a few dollars doing it myself. Again, thanks. Earl K
THANK-YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!! I usually mess something up, but with your
video, I had no issues at all! THANKS AGAIN!!!
to remove the spark plug on the back you need to remove the wiper blades ?
or you can do it with wiper blade on?
I did it from the bottom one time…..it was a ruff job taht took hours. I
think if it was on a lift it would have been much easier. I used multiple
extensions and scraped off much skin. I may try this way next time if I
don’t pay someone!
Yes but the upper intake manifold is still to close to the firewall. To get
great access to the rear plugs for the 96-00 years it is fairly easy to
reach up from underneath the van and get the rear plugs if you have long
arms. It is not very difficult to remove the upper intake manifold with the
wiper tray out of the way if you do not have long arms. The newer vans
01-07 are more service friendly for the home mechanic.
Bless you Sir, I did plugs and wires myself, and saved 1/2 of my disability
check,, You the Man !!!
I have given a video responce showing how it went on a 1999 Voyager….so
far not so well…
Perfect info wut i really need to do myself. Ur da Man!!!
Thanks, in the video I’m using craftsman impact sockets with a universal
joint and extensions. they work out great, but regular chrome sockets and a
ratchet will get the job done.
Great video!!!!!
I wish you had spent more time with the back three, the front are
axiomatic. I appreciate your video. Thank You.
Wish you had a good video on how to do system checks for Evap leak. I have
an 2002 T&C van with a small leak TDC. I had this problem last year and
found a split hose near the purge valve, but so far can’t resolve the
current problem. I’m sure there are some DIY tests..if I fully understood
the system. And yes, new gas cap but still have the problem.
On my 03, I just reached over the engine and changed the plugs on the back
with an socket. I did stand on my toes. My right arm fit right over the
power steering reservoir. Took about half an hour in all.
that’s it, I’m just a regular guy trying to save some bucks by doing it
mysself but having trouble how to remove the back plugs, watching your
video gives me the idea to make it easier for a DIY guy like me… many
thanks.
Thanks a lot for this video. I just can say, “Wow really help full.” Thanks
again
how long have u had this van when u made the vedio in december 31 2011
thank you for this video you have just save a ton of money God Bless You my
Friend
Good video hahahaha I’m going to save some skin from my hands.
The WHORES at the Dodge dealership get two hours’ labor for this job plus
an environmental disposal fee for tossing the plugs in the trash. It’s no
wonder people hate dealers. About $275 to replace plugs! Fuck you, Dodge
dealer whores!
That’s a good idea, I think I will tag this video how to change the o2
sensor. Thanks for the comments and watching.
Excellent walk-thru. On this generation Voyager/Caravan. Two thumbs up.
Thanks for the vid Mike!
