The serpentine belt on my 1996 3.8L Grand Caravan has suddenly started squeaking very loudly. Pouring a little water on the belt makes the squeak immediately stop, so I know it's the belt rather than a tensioner. But I worried that a tensioner was off somehow, making the belt shift its...

I had a new water pump put on two weeks ago. Now I have severe belt chirping. I'm not sure when the chirping started because you couldn't hear it from inside until this week, when it got much worse. It's not a bearing, as I did the water test (pour a few drops on the smooth side of the belt...

I'm at wits end a few months ago i heard a small squeak coming from the belt so when the oil was changed at Midas they checked it recommended a new pulley so I said okay they also changed the belt. All was well for a a few weeks. Took it back changed out the belt and the tensioner went away and...

Hi, I have a 3rd-generation 3.3L while my Haynes manual reports "a dynamic tensioner automatically maintains the correct belt tension". But I'm experiencing a noticeable squeak that seems to be coming from that area. It varies with engine speed and seems to be worse in the rain. It's not always...

This is my first post so please let me know if I need to post in another area or any housekeeping I need to do. We have the 2006 T&C 3.8L van - it has 130,000 on it. In the last month I have noticed a noise coming from the engine compartment. The noise does not speed up when you rev the engine...

HI! I have a 2000 Plymouth Grand Voyager. 146,000 miles. I am the original owner. I never took it in to get the recall things fixed (clockspring and fuel rail) mostly for fear that as soon as I take it in to a dealership for the recall items something else will break. This past sunday we...

Hello, I have a 1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager with a two and a three seater in the back that I can remove if I need to. The center belt and the three receivers from the three seater have been damaged by a rodent while it was temporarily stored in my garage (I have since taken care of the rodent...

On the way home from my friends house, around 10 mins away from my house, it was pouring down rain. I could hardly see. I had the defrost on (front and back), the wipers on high (front and back) the bright lights on and I got about 2 mins out of the neighborhood...I was traveling down a straight...

I have a 2003 T&C with the 3.3L and I recently changed the serpentine belt. The Haynes book mentioned removing the belt splash shield in their step-by-step procedure, but on my van the crankshaft pulley and belt are exposed underneath and at the pass wheel well with no shield or cover. Since...
