    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...

    Hey all-- So the ol' 2000 DGC (3.8L) has coolant leaking out of...everywhere. I took it to my trusted mechanic and the total damage was worth way more than the sale value of the 170k mile vehicle. The wife wanted a 2-door sports coupe (which she got) and to ditch the van, but I convinced her...
