Chrysler Corporation cars still had ammeters back then.

Nice van. 😊

I don't like Vans with non tinted windows in the back 🤮

At work we refer to the 3.6L Pentastar found in these as "the boat anchor" because the oil cooler housing is made of plastic and sits in the V valley of the engine so it warps/melts and dumps all the oil/coolant out of the motor. I've changed probably 100 of these motors over the last few years due to that so make sure to keep a very close eye on that part. I share your opinion of liking the older vans, they were cooler in my opinion. Also DO NOT press the ECON button on the center console, there's a factory error with those that jumbles up the ratios for the transmission and it has a habit of grenading the trans if left in econ mode. I much prefer the previous motor they used in these but as long as you take care of these they will last

2015 Chrysler Town & Country owner here. Love it. I can't think of a vehicle that is more comfortable and useful. Other than having some fuel injectors being replaced and usual wear items, it has been perfectly reliable.

I’ve got a 200 limited with the same 3.6 and 62re it’s been great and mileage is great

When did the commerical owner put R/T / GT alloy wheels on??? I'm pretty sure the base model didn't even have those wheels as optional.

All 2011 to 2022 hoods all bubble they're actually aluminum hoods Dodge could have probably fix that hood and gave you a new one I have a 16 Grand Caravan that had that exact same issue when I was only 4 years old

That's a nice one! Good trim level too!!

rust belt

Had the same one

We have several of this gen van at work, nice vehicle to drive. The dog legs on most of them are starting to rot, so that seems to be the place to watch. 3.6 seems to be pretty durable, but the plastic oil filter housing always cracks and leaks, Dorman makes a metal replacement which is much higher quality. Most of the cam issues come from lack of maintenance, but as nice as that seems to run at 250k, it must have been taken care of. I think those are wheels from a later van, that trim would have come with steelies and covers. I think the black paint on those vans is metallic, very pretty in the sunlight.

Nice 5th gen! I have a 2016 that looks the same. The transmissions are the weakest link. I think the higher power output of the Pentastar can be hard on them. Other than the rocker arms on 2015 and earlier, and the oil filter housing/cooler leaks, they are excellent vehicles.

258k on mine I just put snow tires on it for winter

120$ per taillight

Do you like old school Dodge Caravans, Chrysler Town & Countries?

How was it, it's is good? For me it's fine

I have a 2012 T&C with bells and whistles. The doors open by pressing a button and so does the tailgate. There's a guy that sits by the license plate and tells me when to stop when I am backing up. Our 99 Caravan is our car, truck, and utility vehicle. I have been happy with the both of them. Especially the 99 since it was free. Happy Motoring.

That 5th gen is nice! The old ones are best but for a new one that is good. One of my relatives had a pacifica van that I used quite a lot, and it drove really really nice, but it had the nasty 10 speed transmission, sometimes it would clunk into gear really hard. The touch screen was awful, you could not turn the radio off and muting it was annoying because it would just unmute on its own, the only way to not have some thing playing was to set it to aux with nothing plugged in. It didn't even have a CD player even though it was a upper mid trim. All that completely ruined it for me, pacifica is not recommended. Seems that the 5th gens are much better than the pacifica.

This van I believe for a 2014 has no options and those wheels were put on after the fact The overhead console has the power door and tailgate controls and that’s about it And in terms of power the 3.6 has around 280 hp and is definitely way quicker than a 4 gen 3.3 or 3.8 for sure

I loved the song on the radio test. It was one of my favorite songs!

Afternoon I like your bothers new van love the paint wheels little cleaning new bumper I didn’t hear any noise no rust very nice van with that many miles looks good thanks for the video

Beautiful van! I loved those things for years. We owned a 2008 T&C for 10 years. It was excellent

thats a very nice van. I like it, it should go another 240,000 miles no problem if maintained . nice stereo

I got the same rims! Nice vid!

Pretty cool find. I believe the 6 cylinder in those was a 225 cid. Thanks for posting. New subscriber.

This car would make the perfect "sleeper"! 😎

What a neat van, Didn't know the T&C had a digital dash. when growing up my parents had a white '92 Grand Caravan SE. I remember always wanting to sit on drivers side with the vents in the back. Learned to drive in that van. Crank Windows and power mirrors. Don't know if that was standard for it.

Wow, what a find... the Leaning Tower of Power is probably a 225 CID Years before this they had a 170 and 198 CID, tappets were always noisy until they started using hydraulic lifters.

Mine needs a new alternator any idea what model I should get?

48:12 Might be able to adapt the rear washer nozzle from a 2000-06 Tahoe/Suburban (and Yukon) they have a similar washer line setup with the nozzle on the arm. That will probably give you a better rear wiper spray pattern. Looks like most of the washer fluid currently gets wasted on the ground

18:23 What ??! A backup fuel tank door opener under the carpet in the trunk ? : O Do they all have that ?

Afternoon I had one of them Dodge dart pretty rusty slant 6 so thanks for the video

8:30 and also when calipers slide well, they don't get stuck in a position and create a brake force all the time or that go away but it takes minutes. And that wears off one pad earlier than the other, and yeaaah increase fuel mileage. ^^

good ol motor mounts. always the last suspect lol!

I did a stint at the walmart TLE and we did not balance with trim rings on etc. if they are on, you cannot put wheel weights on the front of the wheel. A trim ring shouldn't really throw out a balance. shouldn't lol.

buddy and i were in a demo derby years ago with a wagon and a slant 6.. we were doing good till the announcer said it was a slant 6 in it then everyone ganged up on him lol

This one is a cheapy-cheap odd ball. Know how its obvious? The front, small-bolt pattern drum brakes. That's fleet-order/uber-chintzy car. I've owned about two dozen A-bodies, from 1966-1976.

Love your videos im obsessed with old minivans since I was 2 years old. I find your channel on TH-cam recommendations i subscribed to your channel 🙂

That dart is 50 years older than my 15 dart lol

Do you buy the owners manuals and stuff? Lol i collect most of this stuff that key tag is awesome I love coming this and the window stickers

I believe that was the last year for the Dart? 1976 welcomed in the NEW Dodge Aspen which had a host of it’s own problems. I had friend’s in high school who had darts. You couldn’t kill them. Rust was a major issue then & now. Yes, they were slow. Basic transportation. This one looks like it sat outside for a long time & it was too far gone to be kept? So it will become a parts car to keep others on the road. Thanks for posting!

Cool looking car

A good friend of mine in college had a 2-door 1975 Dart. He drove the stew out that car. Had the slant 6 in it too. Had a lot of pep. Good car back then to have.

I don't know what happened to it.

It's a perfectly reasonable van for $500 bucks. If the people so bothered enough to run their mouth actually watched the whole video through the price would make sense based on what they see and what I hear the previous owner say about it. I live in Michigan and up here that vehicle would have been bought up pronto. My Camry has way more rust than your van and it was purchased for $2k. The hate comments don't give me any solid reasons as to why they think what they do and make no sense, claims and no reasons. Mild rust does not mean roached as far as I know. The fact that they insulted you about where you live and your intelligence because they have nothing else to say that has substance. Thoes are the people that are the least of your concern but i'm glad you called them out. Me and your other subscribers are all for the new edition to the channel!
