3 vans...

BUMP!

[rollinhardcc]

how about a non turbo voyager?

[Trevor404]

yep, as long as it's a van it's all good

Well technically there are more then 3, because I also have the shot of my 94 Grand Caravan that was sacrificed for parts. And the dark red front doors on my 89 were donated by a 95 Voyager. And the pl delete was donated by a 93 CV along with the front swaybar.

^^What happened to that 3.3L? Spun cam bearing? That's pretty low mileage for one of those to die.

I wish I could get a woody!

u talkin to me? if so i bought the van knowing that it was leaking coolant, but the last owner told me it was coming from the water pump. So before we could figure that problem out it had to be started. I had to replace these following items : spark plugs, wires, ignition coil, crankshaft sensor. Once those items were replaced along with a new battery, the vehicle started right up, but we found the coolant coming from the front of the engine (above tranny) located at the head gasket. So I had to tear down the top of the engine and only the one side of the engine I was going to be replacing. Once everything was taken off, my dad and I both noticed that the head gasket had a pretty significant area that had a chew through it ( not an actual hole). The head itself at a chip in it where the coolant ate it. I used quik steel on that area and allowed it to harden for 24 hours and then grinded and sanded that area down and made it perfectly flat maybe 1/64 th of an inch off but nothing that the new head gasket wont be able to cover up. I put all new gasket on that side going to the top till the engine was fixed, i did not do a totall rebuild ( time was an issue). Once the engine was done we started it up and noticed that there were no leakes but that the coolant temp was climbing to rapidly. I replaced the Thermostat and that fixed that problem. It has been running like a dream since then.

The van also has new shocks, struts, outer tie rods, ball joints, semi metallic pads, and drilled rotors, also new bearings on the passenger rear hub. The van had the all to known paint problem that all chrysler products of that age are known to have and that was the typical paint peel issues of the roof and hood. I repainted the roof and hood using white wal-mart spray paint and clear coat.... Honestly you cant tell from the pictures or even 10 feet away that the paint does not match unless u really get up close. The rocker panels on both sides along with the sliding door have really bad rust issues those will be fixed at the end of this summer.
