2000 Chrysler Grand Voyager SE Radiator Replacement - Part 1

[UhOhBeauBeau]

Thank you, thank you, my dad and I changed my radiator today, and I was excited that my dad had never seen the popping out of the grill trick that you all had in your video. I knew something my dad didn't and he knows everything. lol :)

[Taldoable]

Hmm,... I did this with a friends dad in a driveway... with no prior knowledge of how to remove ANY radiator, the job lasted a freakin' four hours, and we had nearly two dozen leftover parts. but it still works =)

[WoundedEgo]

@Taldoable Yeah, socks disappear in the washer, and screws multiply during a repair. Go figure.

is it a 3.3 V6? an mine mom's van the same have 67,000 Km all original!!

[uxwbill]

Yes, it is a 3.3L V6 with flex fuel capability (meaning that it will run on 85% ethanol).

Thanks Mate.......

Cheers from London Uk

[TheCalderonKomanders]

We need to remove our radiator too from a plymouth voyager...........and its a bitch too remove da grill

[uxwbill]

Yes, I am sorry to say that it is not much fun.

[MrHvm1985]

You guys did more work than you shoulld have done to take that radiator out..but i bet it was fun ..I'd do anything for my mom also even if i didn't know what i was doing..LOL.

hi ive got a chrysler voyager 2003. when do i change the timing belt? or does it have a chain? thanks...

[uxwbill]

It depends upon the engine you have. The best place to get an answer is from your Chrysler dealer, a trustworthy independent mechanic or the factory service manual.

[OlegKostoglatov]

@spacecake2000 The 3.3 liter is pushrod, so it uses a chain. The 3.5 and 3.6 liter V6 use a belt and while it is reccomended to change it after 100k those are not interference engines inspite of what what some manuals say. Check allpar dot com for more info.

is it the same van i saw on 1 vid look' like eng was gone? had rap in it.

[johntaheri]

did you guys change the speed sensore?

yet mine gone aroud 125000 miles i have 295000 mils now it's run fine

[uxwbill]

(eight months later...)

No, we never had to change the speed sensor.

I've remove every visible bolt/screw and the radiator will not not seperate from the A/C condenser/tranny cooler (it simply swivels as a complete system). Don't tell me I have to disconnect the A/C lines!!

2000 Town & Country AWD 3.8L

[uxwbill]

If there's way to do it without disconnecting the A/C lines, I don't know it. The A/C on ours didn't work anyway, so we didn't care.

If your A/C works and/or you do care about it, have someone equipped to do so depressurize the system and reclaim the refrigerant. Then, to keep things clean, plug the lines as well as the openings on the filter-drier canister.

Or get the Chrysler service manual--which is WELL worth it!

[amfan12]

Interesting, both an external tranny cooler and a power steering cooler.

[thegetupkid7609]

I always break those expand screws. THEY SUCK

[mjmcomputers]

Not the greatest design with the radiator outside of the core support, any front end collision is going to bust the radiator.

[CVRealMan]

Does that make your brother really amazing? LOL

mine is so much easer to work on a 2000 sport caravan i can get access to all the stuff you had to take parts off to get at with 2 bolts off the top brace bar

[uxwbill]

There's a good chance that we could have done this more easily had the water pump not also been bad. The Caravan and Grand Voyager are probably 85%-90% the same van.
