What size wrench for the serp belt?

This is the idler pulley, not the tensioner pulley

Good job I guess the tensioner bar may be something I'll buy tomorrow as I have this to do on my 08 Town and country Touring addition

priceless Video

Not a bad video but just a thought . . Have someone else hold the camera while you actually do the removal and the install of the new one. (not just shots of the result of each action after you've done the removal and install). Just a thought.

Thanks for helping me Videos like this help a lot

Dude thanks so much helped fix my moms car and saved loads :)

Thank you for the video! Gave me the confidence to change my 2008 dodge grand caravan. Now hopefully I put everything back together. Haha

Thanks for this video you saved me a fortune. The Previous owner put freaking permatex making it really difficult for me to repair, and the permatex got in my piston arms and got yanked in causing a hole in the valve gasket causing a massive leak and burn in the front one and loss of oil pressure and deceleration overall. Hopefully this helps.

i didnt take the intake off or the plug wires

Dr. with prices rising I'm doing my own work. Just the easy stuff. This was so informativeand detailed I loved it. Most channels assume that you know things. I learned a lot. Now if you can do the bank 1 o2 sensor video that would be wonderful!

Only relevant video to the task. Wish it had more detail. 2 hour job in 10 mins ain't bad

Exactly the video I needed, thank you!

Thank you.

Did you disconnect the throttle body ‽

I will be starting this project this weekend thank you for your video looks quite easy I will let you know how it goes

Do you have to take out the spark plugs to complete the job?

Great job in detail 👏

Thanks

Thank you

Intro looks like its from the 80s

Thank you for posting this. It’s the only video I could find with this engine. My rear valve cover was leaking pretty bad. The tip about the universal socket adapter was a life saver. I wish I could give you more than one thumbs up.

Awesome! Great video. Got me through the whole thing

Thank you for this excellent video. The 1/4 uj was a great tip and made all the difference!

The lifetime power train warranty covers this no need to do it yourself

Thanks! But my front valve cover was sticking on even after unscrewing. Any easy way? I barely used a pliers to lever it off. Hard job .. and I didn’t get the 1/4 drive wrench and 5/16 deep socket bit but really need it!! Will buy it for rear cover... thanks!!

I'm going to attempt this!!! -i'll post my results...

Thanks for the video. I am gonna buy the tools to fix it myself. Thanks.

Keep up the great work! This saved me a bunch of money!

Please add showing how you removed the PCV valve. That’s the hardest part, which is what we need, which you skipped, and you didn’t show it, and now we don’t know what to do, so that’s not very helpful, and this is typical of how to videos that don’t really show you how to do it. Thank you have a great day

Thanks for the sharing. This will save me some time.

Good info, though the video editing could be a bit fine-tuned. You do convey what somebody thinking about doing this would need though. Questions: Just to confirm, the original rubber grommets need to be "cut off" and replaced with new ones? Did you not use any RTV in the gasket grooves? Thanks

Shake shake shake. Shake shake shake. Broke the stem clean off my pcv valve any thoughts?

Thanks Doc. Planning to do this soon. I also have a bad PCV valve I'll replace and would also like to do spark plugs and wires. Are the rear spark plugs accessible with the rear valve cover off? or would more need to come out, like the intake manifold?

One brief thing that got missed in here: To remove the smaller wires below the main wires on the alternator itself, you must pull out the red plastic clip and then squeeze the plastic below it to release a catch that is holding the plug onto the alternator. I haven't seen that step shown or listed in any videos about this. It is kind of glossed over at the 4 minute mark in this video when he says "disconnect the wires" before fast forwarding. Other than that, this whole thing was quick and easy. I did this with my 9 year old so that he could get some experience under the hood of a car. It took about 20 minutes to disconnect everything except that one wire, 40 minutes to disconnect that one wire, and 15 minutes to re-assemble and test the whole thing when we were done.

Thank you for the video. Got it done. Keep doing what your doing👍

Air and fuel filters? Also, and this is a tip that will help with any tune up, you can always use an old spark plug boot to start the new sparkplug

We have the same van same color!!

Thank you Dr. appreciate the time for making the video, I will change my alternator according to your instructions. Thank you

Dr. Silverman!! Thanks for posting this video. It was very instructive and useful. The alternator on my 2010 Town & Country went out on us last night as we were driving home. This video helped me move forward with changing the alternator myself. Thanks again for posting the video. All the best to you and yours.

thanks for the tip, !! very helpfull!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brilliant! You sir, are a wizard, and you have my thanks.

Hello, helpful video but can you list all of the products used in the description please. I'm going to attempt a tuneup on my minivan but I'm very beevous

Thanks! Did this today in less than an hour. Not sure I would have given this a shot had I not seen how relatively easy and quick it would be. Big ups and appreciation!

i have a question i have a 00 chrysler town n country and the wire to the alternator burned off how can i replace that wire to get my alternator to work right. if any body can help me plz email me at [email protected]

this helped me alot...saved a ton of money for labor and the tensioner tool I rent it on autozone..basically free

To anyone replacing their Dodge 2008-2011 Grand Caravan alternator, please look at this video carefully around 2:09-2:30 where he explains how to use the tension remover tool. There is a female 3/8"drive receptacle that you must feel for with your fingers and the tool. As he says, you must remove the air filter assembly first in order to get a proper angle on the tensioner 3/8" drive receptacle. This will save you untold time and hassle. I bought the tool for $25, and it saved me about an hour and much unneeded stress. Thanks for this video. It saved me money and time.
