2000 dodge grand caravan, 3.3 L  how to change valve cover gaskets

[@troycarothers8254]

That whole Chrysler cab-forward design era was such a nightmare for mechanics when attempting most under hood repairs. Great job sir!

8:40 "most everything I work on is definitely a lot newer." Ain't that the truth. My elderly neighbor has a '98 Grand Voyager that needs a valve cover job in the worst way. She's been taken advantage of by some shady mechanics (not shade tree, just dishonest) and I've gotten stuck in the role of getting things fixed properly. New fuel pump, fuel lines (someone had broken nearly every connector down there already), new shift solenoid pack on the trans to get it to shift, drain and fill with a new pan - the 41TE on these are actually pretty smooth shifters, all things considering. Soldered the instrument cluster, too. I've been doing the work for free, and she's just paying for (most) of the parts. Got this job and some front end suspension work lined up for this weekend. Thanks for making this video - the struggle is real. Most people take the cowl off to give themselves more room, which I think I am going to need to do anyway for the new front strut assemblies. I like the way you work: very slow and methodical, detail oriented, and you leave things cleaner than you found them. The "book time" on a job like is out the window, imo. It's more important to go slow and do it right. 26:20: yeah there are two gaskets for this. One for the ones without Flex fuel and one for the ones with it. Looks like you have a Flex Fuel engine so you need the thicker gasket. lol 100, too. Subscribed.

I definitely could have used a little more room😂 thanks for watching. Hope everything goes good for you.

I just want to know what hold the back side of the manifold I need to replace the plugs and wires and I’m not fighting it with a mile of extensions just curious what’s holding the back sosdenid the manifold down And the easiest way tj find it Difficult vehicle to work in for dire

[@lakesautomotivediagnostics6509]

I believe there is two bolts on this one one towards the driver side one so it towards the passenger side use a mirror to find it And then use a wrench
