2000 Chrysler Grand Voyager SE Radiator Replacement - Part 1

What fun! The radiator in our mother's van started leaking, perhaps it was due to the deer hit that took place some time ago. In any case, here's the start of the repair process, with the Keykeeper and I working on removing the radiator.

Yes, this really is a *Chrysler* branded van, as the Plymouth name was being phased out at the time.

[uxwbill]

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

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.

No, we never had to change the speed sensor.

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.

@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.

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

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 =)

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