#28 of 47 Re: 1999 T&C Oil Pressure??? [ncnavyman] by 97xpresso Feb 24, 2007 (6:12 pm)
Replying to: ncnavyman (Feb 24, 2007 10:08 am) If it still runs like a dream, chances are the low oil pressure is not from worn engine internals. I would drop the oil pan and check if the oil pump pick-up screen is clogged. With 157k, it wouldn't hurt to try a heavier oil, 10-30 or 10-40 instead of the recommended 5-30, but check the screen first.
#29 of 47 1997 T&C OBD not ready by monkeytree Mar 05, 2007 (12:21 pm)
I have not driven my T&C for almost 2 months (due to some brake problem that I'll post later.) I went to a local emmision test station yesterday. They said my OBD is not ready and need to drive my car normally for next couple of weeks - called drive cycle. Does anybody know how can I tell if my OBD to be in "Ready" state? I really don't think I need to drive 2 weeks in order to get OBD started.

#31 of 47 Holy Cow! All these horror stories make me cringe. by mickeyrom Mar 09, 2007 (6:59 am)
I bought my 1997 Town and Country LXi(at daughters insistence)brand new.I changed oil every 3000 miles and did the routine maintenance.Despite the fact that I had an accident in it,it still is pretty rattle free and orginal engine and tranny.My only complaint is the weird noises I hear sometimes from the transmission and drive train.Otherwise it's the best car I have ever owned. Repairs: AC condenser(the thing under the dash,maybe its the wrong term) Serpentine belt tie rods brake shoes Brake fluid lines Battery x 2 car horn water pump(mechanic suggestion) Most of the repairs I considered pretty routine.

Replying to: fish8 (Aug 02, 2006 3:12 am) That was my question too,I guess maybe he doesnt know.
#33 of 47 Re: 2002 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY BRAKE HELP [tomaydin] by jrsygirl Mar 13, 2007 (9:38 pm)
Replying to: tomaydin (Jan 29, 2007 11:26 am) I am having the same issue. I keep a second set of rotors because they warp about every 10-12k miles. I was told by one dealer that the back brakes were not set correctly causing the front to work too hard. Another dealer told me the calipers were sticking. Either way... I can't stand it anymore. It is in the shop again for the dealer to fix issues they didn't fix properly too start with. Thankfully i have the extended warranty and so it doesn't cost me much of anything to have them look at it and fix it. I will post what they come up with and whether or not they cover it under the warranty. I can tell you that i can't say the person who posted it is because some people ride the gas or the brake... well i don't so there has got to be some kind of common issue.

Replying to: mickeyrom (Mar 09, 2007 6:41 am) My 1997 LXi's transmission went out a year ago. This was the only problem with the van. I am now in a position to get it fixed. Any advice? Replies to this message: mickeyrom (Mar 20, 2007 12:51 pm)

Replying to: murdoog (Mar 20, 2007 12:09 pm) Hard to advise someone on how to spend their hard earned money.If the car is in excellent condition otherwise,I would shop around for a rebuilt tranny.Where I live,I could get an overhaul for approx $1200.A 10 year old car isnt worth much on the open market,so I guess it depends on what it's worth to you.
#36 of 47 Anyone else have this problem?..strange noises. by mickeyrom Mar 20, 2007 (12:55 pm)
My 97 Town and Country makes a strange rattling noise from the front of the car.If anyone can remember the sound bad heat risers used to make,or maybe even "labor knocks",that is what it sounds like.The reason that I'm sure its not the pinging or labor knock is because it does it without acceleration.

Replying to: jrsygirl (Mar 13, 2007 9:38 pm) I too am going crazy with my brakes - jrsygirl, did you find out anything new when you took your van in this last time?
