gracias de nuevo saludos desde monterrey mexico
Very nice series of videos. Nice to see product specific problems resolved.
I’m facing a similar repair decision with my 1997 Grand Caravan/3.8L engine
and 250,261 miles on the car and engine I’ve had the car since new.
I’m torn between doing the repair or installing a long-block replacement
from Jasper’s. It is a tough call for a car with so many miles but now I
understand the challenge of the work. The trouble with doing the repair on
the 3.8L engine is if the timing cover is bad, it is a $1,000+ part to
replace. You can’t know until the cover is off. At that level, you are on
your way to a cost of a replacement engine.
If it didn’t have AWD, I would just end our 18 year ownership of the car.
Thanks for the videos.

can you explain what is necessary to just replace the water pump?
I did everything you showed on here and am very appreciative of the videos.
My question is: Is it normal to have some smoke coming out of the timing
belt area with a slight squeal?
I’m glad to here it helped. Thanks for taking a look.
Yeah, it’s all good now. I’ve been running it for two weeks. Thanks for
having a look at the videos and taking the time to make a comment.
Took my dad and I two days to reinstall that stupid power stearing pump!
This vans engine compartment is one huge design failure. I would rather
have an easy to work on engine than a small hood.
David, thank you so much. I would not have been able to replace my timing
belt, water pump, and oil seal in my 2000 Dodge Caravan without your help.
The time you spent in loading this video is well appreciated.
Well done series. I hope the oil leak has stopped. Thanks for taking the
time and effort to share this with us.

series. Helped me alot.

I have to do this job soon, these videos are a godsend and makes my life a
hundred percent easier. Thanks!
Great videos. Thats great u took the time to do this. I have to replace my
front seal on at 97. This take all the guess work out. I useally just jump

the screw in the seals trick. Great idea. Thanks again.
