Heat wrap the rear cat ASAP. Why? Look at all the head gasket threads.

 

Not the welcome I was expecting.
Apparently the site isn't what it used to be.

 

Welcome? I've known you on here for years. Whole reason why I even clicked a 6th gen thread. Just giving you a head's up before heartache.

 

Don't get another member started on the woes of the 6th-gen Pacificas...

 

In "the old days" when someone got a new van it was an event.
Questions of colors, trim, options, etc... were abound.

These days apparently you get a post for the impending doom...

Aww, nuts. Welcome, anyway. I get the impression that the majority of the Pacifica demographic is somehow different.

Wife & I owned an electric blue 2007 T&C which we both sorely miss. I too miss the fun posts for that generation of T&Cs & Caravans from people doing fun things to them as well as methods to keep them going past the event horizon of automobiles.

We now have a 2019 Pacifica which is a much different vehicle from our 2007. Wife likes it anyway. I am still getting the mechanical and design philosophy differences worked out in my head. (Such as no provision to add a rear sway bar.)

 

Hello,
I have been around this site for about 15 years now. It started with my 1994 I bought new (still my daily at 406K) and then my 2013 T&C limited I special ordered and recently totaled....

Today the wife and I will be taking delivery of a Black 2025 Select. Unlike my 2013, this Select will have NO options.
No options because we didn't want the sunroof that's now standard on the Limited and the other packages were over priced for things we didn't need/want.
We're sticking with a van because its what we're used to traveling in as well as the best vehicle for the ease of holding our dogs very overpriced, overbuilt kennel and still fit the vehicle in my rather small garage.

I'm on the hunt for a factory size spare tire I can put in the vans interior hiding place. I see the prices people are asking for these things are ridiculous!

Hope to be around for at least another 15 years.

I can get a full size spare on the rim from discount tire for a mere $111 for my 4th gen. I bet you can find something on their site.

 

I was able to get all factory: spare, small compressor, jack, carrier and lower support needed to mount the tire in the factory hiding place in the back of the van all from Ebay. I then found 2 other factory spare tires on Ebay cheap enough I was able to buy them and re-sell them at enough of a profit to more than pay for all of my items.
A bit of work but the prices on this stuff is stupid and I seized the moment to save myself some cash.
