136k miles and I just replaced the battery and alternator last week. Now what? Engine light came. Diagnostic tool shows its a P0128. Usually, it's a failing thermostat. And in this case that's exactly what it was :) I made a little video in case it might help someone.

Hey there, I think I have a bad thermostat on my '07 Dodge Grand Caravan SE. Temp gauge is fine, blower is fine, but no heat front or back. When I switch it to recirculate, I hear a thump or a clunk in front of the passenger floor/glove box area. Brief heat, then nada. Fluid level light came on...

Hey all, So I had my radiator and thermostat replaced last November. I had one incident about a week after I got the van back where I overheated dramatically. I had it towed back to the shop and they did not find anything wrong. Since then it was running fine. My temps usually run just a tad...

I have a scanner so I know the code is related to coolant temp and usually points to a Thermostat... but I'm new to Chrysler vehicles (other than a 2000 XJ Cherokee, I've owned nothing but GM) and just wanted to get some feedback before I guess. Bought the van last Saturday. It was 70 degrees...

Hi everyone. Working on a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan with about 190K miles on it. The symptom I am seeing is that the engine overheats pretty quickly once after running for about 5 minutes. What I have done so far is replace the thermostat, and added coolant. What I finally did was actually...

I just noticed on a long road trip that the temperature gauge takes forever to reach mid-range. It used to get there in 5-10 minutes of idling. Now it takes 45 min. of 50mph driving (mid-40's outside temp) to get to mid-gauge. It will go up faster running the engine at standstill, but then...

(2002 T&C, 3.3L) About 2 days ago my radiator had multiple fractures and needed to be replaced. I first noticed the problem when my heat stopped working on my way to a restaurant. The next morning I went to check the fluid and it was all on the ground already. So i bought a new radiator and...

Hi All, I have a 2002 GC Sport 3.3 Flex fuel 127000 miles. 5 days ago, during a morning drive to work, I noticed that heater is not blowing hot air even after engine has achieved usual operating temperature. Due to busy week, i waited until this weekend to look at it. I opened Radiator cap and...

I've got a couple questions for the group. 2006 Chrysler T&C 3.3L rear air. This weekend I drained and flushed the radiator in my van. I only got 1.5 gallons out of it and was told it should take nearly 4 gallons. (16 quarts). Here's what I did: I drained the radiator with the valve at the...

Have just bought a 96 Grand Voyager Van 3.3 that had a few minor things to be done to it. One of them being that either no, or very little, heat was getting into the cabin. Thought it was the radiator as it was leaking. Having replaced that and flushed the system - the problem persists...
