| I have a 1996 Grand Caravan and the problem that I am having is that it won't shift out of second gear. It tacks about 4000 RPM at 50 MPH. The transmission has been rebuilt but wont shift out of second gear. Would changing the shift selinoids make any difference? | |

I have a 1999 Dodge Caravan. It has four engine mounts -- front, rear, left and right. I need to replace the rear and front engine mounts. Mechanic tells me the parts are dealer only, and pricey. Trying to find them online on the cheap cheap, but everyone seems to have only the left and right. FYI, the left and right mounts are sometimes referred to as "right-front" and "left-front." But these are not the true front and rear mounts. I need the rear and front. Any suggestions?

Replying to: wkndwarrior (Feb 22, 2007 5:52 pm) What makes you think you need to replace those engine mounts? I have a 1998 with the 3.8 liter engine with over 134,000 miles on the clock, with the factory engine mounts still in place. I just recently inspected all four mounts, two of them off the van, and they are all in excellent shape with no apparent wear. Best Regards, Shipo

Replying to: shipo (Feb 22, 2007 6:51 pm) They are actually cracked.... which reminds me... I forgot to put in my last post ... I need the bracket that bolts between the front mount and the block. This one is real hard to find. No one seems to stock it except the wallet-biting dealership.

I have a 05 dodge caravan 6cyl automatic 50000 mi. The gas pedal sticks when I first start to accelerate. Sometimes at a stop I have to stomp on it so hard that the van lurches ahead. It only sticks at the top of the pedal, its fine once I'm pass the sticking point. Anybody know the cause of this and how to resolve Thankyou |

I have a 2000 model Grand Caravan Sport AWD. It has 110,000 miles on it and is running really well. I have replaced the drive belt, AC system, battery, tires, rear brakes and exhaust system and am hoping it is now set to run for a few years without major incidents! Here is my problem - every time I put my foot down to the extent that revs go up to about 3000, I hear a fairly loud whistling noise. It sounds like it is coming from behind/below - ie not the engine. It is not wind noise as I can make it happen at 30mph just as easily as at 70. Does anybody have any ideas what this is? My main question is whether if it is a major problem that needs to be fixed or something I can ignore. |

Hi all... Can anyone explain the fact as to why Chrysler has omitted electronic stability/traction control from the '07 Caravan? Excuse my ignorance on this...but I think such an omission has hurt rather than helped the Caravan, especially the short wheelbase, 4 cylinder model. Not everyone wants or needs the Grand Caravan model, and I say this without dissing any owners of that version. My wife and I rode in the smaller model of a new Caravan yesterday, and I sat up front in the passenger seat. I was amazed at the panoramic view one has from this angle, and turned on to the Caravan thinking it a far more sane alternative to some SUVs out there, in more ways than one. Please inform! Many thanx... Peace!

Replying to: aladdinsane (May 30, 2007 4:31 am) Regarding traction control, while I don't know about the 2007 model year, I can tell you that it has typically been reserved for only the higher end vans. Case in point, our 1998 DGC Sport 3.8 was not offered with traction control at any cost while I believe it was standard equipment (or at least an option that we selected) on our 2003 DGC ES 3.8. As for driving impressions both with and without traction control, personally I don't get the attraction. We live in snowy New Hampshire, and have at times needed to make our way up our driveway (a 9% grade) in some very difficult conditions. The only time the 1998 was unable to make it up in anything less than ten inches of snow (my personal limit for attempting the feat), the traction control equipped 2003 failed as well. Of course I suppose the fact that we had an inch of ice covering everything might have had something to do with that.  In day to day winter condition driving, both vans perform wonderfully, and by virtue of their FWD layout, traction control simply doesn't make much of a difference, if any at all. Best Regards, Shipo |
