  1. 5th Generation Chrysler Minivans: 2008-2020
    2011 T&C A couple weeks ago I had the serpentine belt break and shortly after replacing it started getting low oil pressure warning. The pressure dropped down to 7-9psi while driving on the interstate. Took it to a shop as I was out of town hoping to figure out the low oil pressure problem...

    Hi, I am trying to remove the serpentine belt and I can not find the hole in the tension release. Please help.

    Okay, I have a 02’ Town and Country 3.8 and it’s a obnoxious squealing going on. It used to make the noise at start or idle. Normally would go away after a while of being on (I’ve noticed normally after the temp gauge went normal after being cold). I’ve gotten the alternator belt replaced (the...

    Hey all, I had my 2011 T&C in the shop for water pump and serpentine belt replacement 3 weeks ago. I noticed it felt a little shaky at start up after the repair. Now all of a sudden the transmission is slipping. No check engine light yet. Could this have anything to do with the recent repair...

    Battery idiot light came on last week. Wife stopped at Autozone , who told her battery was overcharging. Loose insulation behind alternator was flaked by the serpentine belt,sucked into the alternator over time, clogging it, causing it to overheat and frying the voltage regulator. Take a look...

    Anyone experienced a serp belt that shreds? The belt on my 1996 Town and Country, 386k miles, 3.3L with AC did not break, but rather shredded into one long rubber rope (for lack of a better word), and in doing so, wrapped around the AC compressor pulley. In wrapping around the AC pulley, the...

    I have a pulsing noise coming from the serpentine belt area. Its much louder when car is in gear, so I'm shifting to neutral when stopped at a light. Noise seems less when I slightly rev-up the engine. I am not capable of lifting the car and looking underneath nor removing the belt, so I...

    I own a 2005 Town and Country Touring with 3.8L Motor. At 200K miles, the motor overheated and i needed to replace it. the donor motor was stated to have come from a 2005 Town and country with 3.8L motor as well (100K miles). I had not issues with the motor per say, but the darn thin kept...

    I have a 2000 T&C LXi with the 3.8L and it's one of "those" that started throwing a belt due to the 2mm misalignment in the idler pulley on the engine mounting bracket. Just wanted to say a thank you for all the posts on this issue. I replaced the stock idler with the Gates double-V and that...

    I've got a 2000 Caravan 3.3 flex fuel engine.I replaced the serpentine belt because of normal wear cracking along with belt tensioned and idler pulley because I'm sure they were factory.My problem is my first belt was a Dayco not 3 days the belt started screaming and depending on speed the sound...

    I have a 2006 Grand Caravan SXT. It has a squeal or chirp at idle. It started to do it only once in a while, but now it is happening more and more. It seems worse with the A/C on and can be alleviated with the A/C off or by accelerating. Of course this does not mean it is the A/C clutch...

    My 2000 Grand Caravan with the 3.3L flex engine has a Gates K060966 serpentine belt (van had 81,000 miles when I bought it March 2010). What brand serpentine belt did Chrysler use (could this be an original or has it been replaced)?
  13. 2nd Generation Chrysler Minivans: 1991-1995
    I was able to put back the belt that came off after a few minutes of driving under heavy rain. I found the details on wikianswers (http://is.gd/dgRrd) and a diagram in autozone.com (also at http://autorepair.about.com/library/a/1e/bl866e.htm. I am concerned that this may happen to my son or...

    Our 2002 Chrysler Town & Country with 3.3L motor has been tough on AC compressors. Number 2 recently died, so we simply quit using the AC until we could afford to fix it. Now the AC compressor clutch is binding and smoking as well, even with the AC switch turned off. Looking at the belt path...

    I installed this kit on my 97 T&C, seems to have resolved the problem of the belt jumping off. Question is the belt is grooved on both sides, the kit includes grovved idler and tensioner but the water pump pulley is smooth, is this going to cause a problem? Is there a grooved pulley for a...
