My name is Steve and I currently have a 2006 DGC SXT 3.8 with VMI in-floor ramp and kneel that I use for my mobile mechanic business. My van has 308,500 miles and it was originally my uncles van and I have done all the maintenance since the warranty expired. It is currently on its 3rd transmission and has a constant p0335 that apparently has no cause ??‍♂️. I have drilled and slotted brakes, HIDs with black bezels, and a full pioneer sound system with 2 10” subs. This is my second DGC, first... Family Tradition of Mopar Vans ..read more

Been getting intermittent downstream 02 codes the past few hundred miles. 3 P0140's, and 1 P0141 yesterday. What is a healthy downstream sensor voltage? Curious what the upstream should be also. My Innova scanner reads a steady .470 at idle, fluctuates a little at 1500 rpm to .450. A little on the lazy side? I'm hesitant to replace unless it should completely fail, sensor is mounted in cat. (Van is TLEV). Original sensor, been in there for 30 years. Could be a whole can of worms if... Downstream 02 Sensor ..read more

I purchased my 2009 Town and Country touring about 1 1/2 years ago. As a long time gear head and shade tree mechanic, I have been overjoyed with this vehicle. She has aprox 125 K miles and short of the large quantity of underbody/suspension rust, but is in really great condition otherwise. If anyone has replaced a rear axle and would care to have input, I'd love to hear it. Additionaly, I would like to add a towing hitch and am looking for opinions on hitches, Has anyone had experience... Greetings ..read more

I was driving home from work today and out of nowhere my van started to run rough. A few second later I see white smoke coming from the exhaust. My initial thought was head gasket is blown. I still drove it home and it did not overheat. Amongst other smells, there was definitely a gasoline smell. I also noticed that my cluster was showing ave gas mileage of about 13.5 mpg, which seems low to me. I tried the method of getting the CEL codes by cycling the ignition and then counting the...

I've got a 2014 Dodge Caravan. For a little bit I've been dealing with the engine temp gauge showing values above the normal 1/2 mark. I've been looking for a way to diagnose but had seen a lot of varying issues and wasn't yet sure which to pursue. So, while driving, I've got the heat on to help reduce the issue. If I drive on econ mode, run with the "heat" on, and am careful, the temp gauge won't get to the max - but it will bounce around the 3/4 mark a lot. Today I noticed that having...

Hello everybody. I am the owner of a 1988 Plymouth Voyager SE. It has the V6 engine. My previous wife and I bought this vehicle from her mom around 1995. She hardly drove it, so it became ours. 2006 was the year that it started sitting, since her and I bought a VW Passat (what a mistake that was). 2012 After driving it here and there, the transmission started slipping. Had it rebuilt. 2012 We gave the Voyager to our 20 year old son, (with his name and mine on the title) and he started... Old owner, old vehicle ..read more

Hi everyone. I've got the worst problem, as per subject. I have looked for threads on here but can't find anything yet to help ( there's a lot to read through ). Anyway, 3 garages have looked but declined to help ( including an ex Chrysler dealer ) and now I'm on my own. The drain is up to 3.5 amps with everything off, but only when the car has got really wet. Obviously this flattens the battery overnight. Once it has dried out, the drain is only 0.25 amps, which is OK. So, I've got a... 2008 Grand Voyager intermittent electrical drain ..read more

Hello, I crashed the car and it is going to salvage but for the time being,for two or three days, I need to move it out of the drive way into the street, back into the driveway, may be at the back lane, something like that. So it would be great if I can run it for two or three minutes at a time. Where should I start looking for problems. I will take pictures in the morning of the engine compartment maybe it wii be helpful. The damage is all in front, radiator or that radiator like thing...

So, about a month and some change ago, I was in an accident, whole front bumper on my 2007 Caravan SE was ripped off. Entire bumper assembly needs replaced, need a passenger headlight, passenger fender needs replaced, hood could stand to be replaced, and the driver's side fender was already dinged up when I bought the van, and my sliding doors and hatch door are starting to crust apart. Well, just my luck, an 06 T&C is on Facebook For $700...says he's willing to negotiate. Fenders are mint... Questions about engine swapping ..read more
