Was looking for the routing for the 3.3L '08 Town and Country I'm working on, thank you for providing that. Most other diagrams I see don't match my reality!

[@frankmount226]

Your videos are saving me SO much money. Thank you

[@2carpros]

I love reading that! Thanks for watching!

[@DUDENOHELP]

Wow i was dreading seeing my worn belt but this is pretty simple! Thanks

[@2carpros]

Yeah not bad! Thanks for watching Brendan!

[@GarrettEckert]

On a 2005 3.3 V6, the tensioner is right up against the metal fender and you cannot fit a socket. Requires a special serpentine tension tool, available for loan at least at Advanced Auto.

Well seems fine by me. Mine broke when I got stuck in snow. Now it's real cold here in Michigan. I'm 69 when wife asked if I wanted it towed to shop to fix. Naa I said that's why my grandpa put a wrench in my hand when I was 8. It'll take me some doing, more time actually depends on weather, but by golly watching your video on the big screen gave me the instructions'. Thanks more later! J.C.H.

[@2carpros]

Nice work! Thanks for watching!

[@ronsbeerreviewstools4361]

Thanks for posting this informative video.

[@PEACHEYYGHOST]

Nice. Well illuminated and described. However my 05 3.3L model does not allow simple access with a regular ratchet or breaker bar. There isn't enough room between the tensioner and the frame

[@2carpros]

Thank you for the comment! :) It should look the same this van is only 3 years newer. There has to be a way to change the belt.

[@scottw.8871]

I agree. Same on my 2002. I'll have to buy a special flat bar with I hope a 3/8" drive end on it. Such an easy job......if you have the right tools. I'd have it done, but my luck is they'll find something wrong and I'll have to pay out the nose to get idler pullys or water pump changed. All things I can do myself for about a 1/5 the cost.

[@DC-lt2ih]

2CarPros My 07 is the same way. No room for a ratchet or breaker bar.

[@paranormal9814]

You make it look easy!

[@2carpros]

It is :) Thank you so much for watching!

[@oneundecided]

Thanks for this video, I have a Dodge Grand Caravan with a 3.3L engine and the serpentine belt was jumping up from time to time, it seems like something in these pulleys creates a drag force when starting the engine, so the engine shakes randomly and the belt jumps out. The power steering pump was replaced when I first saw this problem 4 years ago. However, this does not happen all the time.

[@WorkableWax]

Will this be the same for the 2000, looks the same but I’m just curious

[@aaronpatalune8621]

Great video. Thanks for posting it.

[@2carpros]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@magswrbrtn3020]

06 3.3L dodge caravan serpentine belt install. So around alternator first, and work to firewall?

[@user-st6mc4mm2u]

For the tension are you going to need a flat a 3/8 drive ratchet

[@limamantapachitas]

I was trying to buy one, but Walmart and Ebay ACdelco 6K795 says that is not compatible for Dodge Caravan 2003 SE 3.3L gas, other than that excellent video, I bought belt and tensioner just 10,000 km ago, now is squealing , I need to change it again, the belt and tensioner may be was china made

[@kenhurley4441]

Thanks for the video. I'm gonna replace my belt this evening. If you put the belt on all of the big pulley's,,,, it's easier to put on the small pulley last. So in this case,,,, bigger isn't better.

[@2carpros]

Good tip!

[@neutrodyne]

Nice Job!

[@johnkozarevich3552]

Good video. Looks like the installation was a bit rushed toward the end of the video. The belt miraculously ended up installed from the start position.

[@achooraha551]

good work

[@wakabum6928]

I got a 2010 town country lx 3.3 engine no power when a put jumper cables try to start the car got a click sound behind the alternator where's 2 arness plug area

[@frank8938able]

Can you do one on a dodge caliber 2008

[@jamesbell8823]

Any chance you also have a video of the power steering pump coming off? Need to change mine out. Looks simple enough once the belt is off, just three bolts and it should come off without even taking the alternator off? I cant find any other videos on this engine for that pump. Thanks for this video though, it answered several questions I had on taking off that belt.

[@mongomay1]

power steering pumps are a PITA on 3.3L not much room to get pulley off and bolts out to slide it out the hole, constantly hitting the fire wall, took me and mechanic friend 5 hours to get it out and back in....

[@stunnaskillz69]

Awesome video

[@2carpros]

Thanks for watching!

[@johnsonvideos1450]

My tension is higher up against the side wa and can’t fit a wrench on it looking for the belt tool

[@5crazykids74]

Good job, 2CP. Gives hope to us wanna-be do-it-yourselfers.

[@2carpros]

Thanks for watching!

[@MrHeat1up]

Wow, I have a 2003 3.3 grand caravan and the tensioner pulley is not in that position. The belt route is even different.

[@CamaroZ28CheVy]

The vehicle he's doing is 08 and newer.

[@MrHeat1up]

@@CamaroZ28CheVy I'm not sure how I missed that. Thanks

[@davidw64us1964]

Great Job Ty

[@2carpros]

Thanks for watching!

[@J6T1N5R]

Your video is the first I've seen on KZbin that shows how you actually got it off that last part. I'm trying to do it from the top and it's hard to do now I have an idea what to do. Before I was guessing on how the belt come off. Thanks.

[@2carpros]

Glad I could help!

[@mariogastelum1463]

Thank you !!

[@2carpros]

Thank you for watching!

[@tyball2489]

What is the belt number

[@scottbowman168]

Wow... you covered up the stem with the hub cab... how is the owner supposed to put air in his/her tire?

[@2carpros]

I realized that after I turned the camera off and I fixed it. Thanks.

[@gilmadrid4311]

I need to replace belt tensioner.

[@ninja_commando4598]

I don’t know what size for the bet

[@melinda1163]

okay so I had my alternator changed but I think they put the belt on wrong, I have a dodge caravan 2006

[@2carpros]

What makes you say that? Thanks for watching!

[@danielslaughter104]

Mine is way up under the rail, I can't attach my ratchet to it...

[@DUDENOHELP]

I can’t reach my tensioner with my socket wrench, tire is out of way there’s just a part of the frame in the way

[@2carpros]

Maybe try a wrench? Quite a bit thinner and it might give you enough access. Thanks for watching!

[@DUDENOHELP]

@@2carpros thanks I ended up renting the tool from autozone!

[@SegerSyanide]

This had been super helpful. Except that the valve stem got covered when you put the plastic rim cover on lol

[@2carpros]

Thanks for watching! Yeah avoid that, noticed it after I turned the camera off.

[@SegerSyanide]

@@2carpros oh well lol it happens

[@2carpros]

Yep, we are all human. :)

Not tge same for a 2003 caravan se

[@kevin_conley]

Why did you not use a Mopar belt since it's a Dodge?

[@2carpros]

AC Delco makes great products and this is what was available that day. Thanks for watching!

[@rockyflowers897]

It's a belt they all come out the same factory and have different labels slapped on them

[@briank3799]

You should keep the new belt in your car for a spare and wait till the old one that's in great condition breaks.

[@2carpros]

You should but that makes a poor video. Thanks for watching Brian! :)

[@tyball2489]

6 pk2020 ko60 795 that right

[@dantheman4471]

Why the hell are all the videos different then my 2005 grand caravan

[@2carpros]

What engine do you have?

[@dantheman4471]

2CarPros 3.8. Had to cut end off a breaker bar to fit in. I think it’s bullshit how they make this shit so impossible to work on unless you buy $10,000 worth of specialty tools.

[@dantheman4471]

Plus the dam tensioner pulpy was seizes and busted it so had to go put a new one of those on also. But new compressor and tensioner all good to go now

[@TheLtyren2010]

All good apart from the valve stem..

[@compcommsys]

Since it hasn't been spelled out: The reason the wheel cover doesn't go correctly is because you have it on in the wrong location. How you gonna put air in that tire son? You just wrenched down a wheel cover over the damn valve stem. If you've heard of proof reading your written work, maybe you should get someone to "proofview" your videos. Now I don't think your a stupid person. You seem rather intelligent and wanting to genuinely help some of us less automotively informed folk. That is a GOOD thing. Let's not gloss over that point. This could have happened to anybody. But damn it, check your comments after posting. Some of us are actually paying attention to you. Now you please fix this video or add on a segment where you explain your faux pas with the valve stem and you will get more respect rather than snarky comments and dismissal of your real knowledge where your instruction is considered worthless. I don't like raining on other people's parade but sometime the rain must fall to the benefit of others. Have a good day, sir. I'll leave you back to your "hog killin'". Thanks for reading my post.

[@compcommsys]

BTW: Your correct method of replacing the serpentine belt is far superior to the other guys videos on the subject as they are all struggling and busting their knuckles whilst fighting with that stiff belt. Keep up the good practices.

[@mongomay1]

yes there are two lug nut positions that will allow you to mount the wheel and then put the cover on and secure with other three lug nuts.

[@LuisMartinez-hg3cg]

????

[@manyfuzzybunnys5470]

He put the hubcap on crooked.

[@2carpros]

Yeah don't do that. Thanks for watching!

[@shariceornah]

Could you just cut it off instead?

[@2carpros]

That should be an absolute last resort. The stored energy of the belt can really hurt you if it's just cut. Thanks for watching!

[@stevepoopster940]

I love how you skip past getting it over the tensioner

[@2carpros]

Slip it over when you have it actuated. Thanks for watching!
