Replying to: drdavidbowman (Apr 25, 2009 1:47 pm) I was in the military for 28 years and know a whole lot about the quality of motorpool repairs. When we had an inspection we would put a six pack of beer under the hood so when it came time for the motorpool troops to inspect they would just stamp it "passed".   Who drives the foreign minivan, you with the Canadian built Chrysler or those with the Princeton, IN built Sienna or Lincoln, AL built Odyssey?   As for "appropriate", well I guess if I am not in lock step then my opinion or comment is unwanted?

Replying to: artgpo (Apr 26, 2009 6:47 am) The main purpose ((trying to find a use for the special purpose(LOL)) of this thread is for 2009 GC and TC owners or future owners to give feedback on the performance, quality, and defects/repairs needed for the 4.0/6 speed versions as there is very little info on the net for the 4.0/6 speed. So we hope that sharing this data will allow us to avoid some of the mistakes of others. Maybe!! 6 pack of beer sounds good to me man. Bring it on.

Replying to: artgpo (Apr 26, 2009 6:47 am) What I meant by appropriate was lets try and keep comments whether pro or con in a positive framework and avoid radicalizing a discussion of ownership and the relative merits or this van.   Your point about the Dodge Grand Caravan being made in a foreign country is well taken. My van sticker clearly states it was assembled in Windsor Ontario, just across the river from Detroit. If I remember correctly it is over 80% US components.   I don't have a problem buying a foreign car I have had them before and probably will again. That's also why I looked so hard at the Honda. (if as you point out it can truly be construed as a foreign car any more) What I want people to know about the Dodge Grand Caravan is that it was the all around best van of all the competing manufacturers I looked at for reasons I have previously stated. People will of course have to make there own decisions about what suites them best.   In 28 years you must have seen a bit. My hat is still off to the guys I knew at Doha. I saw them keep some sort of South African armored Unimog alive much longer than I would have thought possible. anything that moves in that blow sand is hammered hard. By the end I couldn't tell what was holding it together. Eventually it ended up being towed to the back gate check point to become a machine gun turret for the hired security personal. Sort of like a giant roasting pan on wheels. What a god awful machine.   Dave

Replying to: etp (Apr 27, 2009 2:08 pm) I must admit I have not. But I did get to drive it around town with the boys this morning. What I want to do is take a long drive with it and check the gas mileage. Seems to be getting about 19 in town so far. I'm getting confused by all the options and how to use them, I also want to see just how you deploy the spare.   Do you have the flashlight in the back of yours? What do you think about that?   Dave Replies to this message: etp (Apr 28, 2009 1:51 pm)

Replying to: etp (Apr 27, 2009 2:08 pm) Forgot to ask where did you go to get the service manuals for it? I'm assuming they would be on a CD or DVD or something.   Dave Replies to this message: etp (Apr 28, 2009 1:44 pm)
