2005 2006 2007 Chrysler Town and Country / Dodge Grand Caravan Fuel pump replacement 3.3L and 3.8L

A walkthrough of a fuel pump replacement for 2005 through 2007 Chrysler Town and Country / Dodge Grand Caravan 3.3L and 3.8L. fuel tank removal is required.

[@kathydaffy5272]

The fuel filter on a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.8 is located INSIDE the gas tank.

[@Pollux95630]

Mine just started making a high-pitched whining noise. Or at least the noise is coming from the drivers side fuel tank area when it's hot outside and the tank is below half. Noise goes away with a full tank. At 205,000 miles and it's original so figured it's time to replace.

Better to replace for maintenance than getting stranded somewhere .

[@aldenjames7333]

Thanks for the tutorial. I will do it myself now..👍

[@northsidevideo1938]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

Delphi fuel pump is a POS, at least for me. Cost me $194 w/tax at NAPA. Replaced fuel filter because it was leaking. Installed myself, unbelievablePITA, but got it done. Worked OK for about 300 miles then failed. Called the mechanic who said he'd get the tow and do the replacement. Sat in his parking lot for 5 days before "getting to it." Tow $125 for 4 miles; labor $324; fuel pump $285.39; miscellaneous supplies and disposal $30. Total $797. Thank you, Delphi.

I've had good luck with Delphi, but every situation is different. Thanks for watching!

[@jordenbronson8122]

Yeah I’m sure the issue was more with the mechanic and not Delphi. Don’t blame them without knowing exactly what happened. They make top notch parts.

Excellent video thank you for sharing!!!

Thanks

This video would have been great if u would've turned down the music so a person could concentrate and learn. Lol .. I'm sorry but just a suggestion. Also be careful with the music in the background because ur channel can be struck for music/songs in the background too .... But thank you for ur help today and I watched all the way thru. Appreciate it!!!!

[@northsidevideo1938]

It was late night project. The tunes kept up the momentum! I got hit with copyright for background music before. I appreciate the suggestion, thanks for watching! I hope it helped with your project.

[@TaijiArban]

Knowing me, I will most likely break those rusted bolts 😂

[@northsidevideo1938]

The strap bolts are pretty tough, I have yet to break any. Spray the threads with peneitrant oil and your good!

[@TaijiArban]

@@northsidevideo1938 Oh trust me I will. I will spray it a couple of days in advance and a few mins before I attempt them. The van has been sitting for at least 2 years so I am just going the extra mile of making sure everything is clean in there.

[@TheGeno2001h]

Hello I tested my fuel pump and I connected the gauge straight to the line before the injectors, the line came straight from the fuel pump and when I did the test it was 54psi and within 30 minutes it went all the way down to 35psi, does that mean the fuel pump is bad since it doesn’t hold pressure? The engine was off only the key was on.

[@northsidevideo1938]

Does the engine run? If it built 54psi that's pretty good. But if its failing intermittently(stalling on start up) then its probably on its way out.

[@TheGeno2001h]

@@northsidevideo1938 yes sir when I started was fine but when I test it 54psi and after 30 to 35 minutes went down to 35psi

How much price?

[@LayZeeDawg]

Thanks for your video. My 06 is starting to lose pressure at cold starts, I'm calling a failing fuel pressure reg which is integrated in the pump so this job is in the near future for me. Sid you find the Delphi to be a quality unit? I've always tried to use genuine Mopar but cant justify the 150 dollar difference.

[@northsidevideo1938]

Delphi is has a high quality unit, if you plan on keeping the van put in the Delphi. I've used Delphi pumps in many different vehicles with good results and no issues with fitment. Thanks for watching!

[@LayZeeDawg]

@@northsidevideo1938 keeping this until it rusts away to nothing left but a set of wheels and tires.

[@northsidevideo1938]

They last forever!

[@emmylewis1903]

What all tools are needed? The fuel ac line disconnect kit, is that a tool? Do you need support for the tank if you’re doing it on the ground? I seen another video where the guy taped the hoses then blew it off. Should I tape or no?

[@emmylewis1903]

There’s only 3 hoses or lines that need to be unattached correct and the clip thing. The evap line, the gas neck, the fuel line and the clip. I just want to make sure I’m catching everything. 😅

[@northsidevideo1938]

3 lines and electrical plug and fill neck. Tape off lines or leave connected blow off then disconnect to avoid dirt contamination. Lisle 37000 Ac/fuel line disconnect tool $10 on Amazon. Always Support tank, especially if not empty. Thanks for watching!

[@emmylewis1903]

@@northsidevideo1938 Okay, so 5 different things to detach. I missed one, I’ll have to go back and see. So other than that tool from Amazon it’s just takes regular tools?

[@emmylewis1903]

@@northsidevideo1938 Thanks for the reply!

[@northsidevideo1938]

No special tools other than disconnect set. Use PB blaster penetrating spray on the strap bolts, and the filler neck where the rubber connects to the metal pipe. It softens the rubber and makes it easier to pull apart once you loosen the hose clamp. If you are working from the ground get the van up on stans then use the floor jack with a board to support the tank and lower it down. Be careful if there is a lot of fuel in it, if you tilt it all the gas will run to one side making it hard to hold. Have a friend help! Good luck!

[@xavelongoria7457]

2002 chrysler town and country 3.8. Fuel line developed a leak. Changed fuel filter assembly. Leak is back. Is the fuel pressure regulator installed with the fuel pump? Sending to much pressure? .

[@Giovanniko1]

The background music spoils the quality of the video.

[@northsidevideo1938]

I made the video after 10pm on a weekday and had to work 1st shift the next morning. Needed to hear some background noise to stay motivated. It was intended to share the basics to help others do it easier. Im just a weekend warrior, nothing fancy. Thanks for watching!
