#151 of 171 thanks by backyardmech74 Sep 17, 2009 (12:23 am)
thanks to everyone on here. I went to dodge to order a new reservior and they did not have a part # for it so I came home and went back to this sight and got the part # for them but by that time they had found it. It is listed under hoses. I was prepared to change the pump and rack and pinion. But luckily I stumbled onto this website(thanks to google) and changed the reservior ,fixed a few problems. thanks again all

#153 of 171 Back hoe help by tomg4 Sep 26, 2009 (4:54 pm)
Hey all thanks to the info on this forum I replaced the reservoir on my 2005 T&C 3.8L.   As others have mentioned, the rear (large) hose was a pain in the butt.   Since I was having trouble I unhooked everything (top bolts, back bolt, small hose, so I could twist the reservoir and the hose in opposite directions...still no luck.   mine was frozen until I spritzed some WD40 around the seam at the end of the hose where it butted up against the reservoir. Then I sipped on a beer for 2 mins, and after light-medium twisting, it broke free. Replies to this message: dodgeman7 (Oct 26, 2009 10:55 am)
#154 of 171 2001 DGC w/ 118,000 miles stering sticks by tazz24b Oct 15, 2009 (5:31 am)
My Dodge Grand Caravan with 118,000 miles, the steering will stick at times then come back. At first I thought it was the R & P, but the people at steer & gear tell me that is not a R & P symptom. I am iin the process of changing the rear heater hoses and tubes, any input would be greatly appreciated

Replying to: kcarroll007 (Sep 23, 2008 6:39 am) I had the same whining and groaning sound on my 2002 voyager. The shop said they needed to flush the power steering system and replace the fluid. That made it worse. I made them aware of the reservoir problem as they were not aware of that fix. I asked them to put a new reservoir in and they did bingo problem solved. They were glad to find out the fix for that problem. I am very lucky to have a really honest and upright shop. One of their mechanics thought about it and agreed it was causing cavitation of fluid.

we have had a whistling/whining noise in the steering when stopped after traveling 60 miles or so at highway speed. Has Dodge had a problem with the rack and pinion?

Replying to: jayjay14 (Oct 22, 2009 12:57 pm) I have a 2001.. I replace the power steering, then the rack and shortly thereafter the noise kept coming back. I 've been reading all the postings about steering problems and several mentioned cleaning/replacing the reservoir. Our local auto part dealers said it was a dealer part only so I decided to clean it out. I blew it out w. an air compressor then sprayed it clean w. brake cleaner. When I put it back it sounded worse but the next day I checked the fluid again and it must have went down slowly bc it was low again. I added more and it is completely quiet. Its been 4 days now and no whinning. They get glogged and deprive the pump and rack the fluid required. Wish I had tried this before the pump and rack was replaced. Probably never needed it done. ...and my husband said I was crazy for reading these. But it worked.

Replying to: sbradshaw (Oct 22, 2009 4:39 pm) Crazy?! You were crazy before you read the posts, and the van drove you there! There is all sorts of knowledge acquired through shared desperation.

Replying to: sbradshaw (Oct 22, 2009 4:39 pm) I have a Dodge Grand Caravan 2006, when ever we drive on the highway we get this loud noise in the engine, very annying humming noise, does not stop even after getting off the high way. It does not do it if we just drive on local roads.   Our mechanic said he is going to replace the steering wheel fluid and if that does nto work he will have to replace the pin and rack.   any suggestion will be helpful.   thanks, AK Replies to this message: dodgeman7 (Oct 26, 2009 10:30 am) srs_49 (Oct 26, 2009 11:28 am)
