Can you do a top 10 worst spark plug location I have to do my grandpas 08 Nissan Versa 1.8 and It’s a nightmare
Drowning Mona was a pretty funny movie about Yugo's and Verplanck NY.
Hey Scotty did I make a good buy? I just purchased a 1990 F150 XLT lariat for $1500 and only has 86,000 original miles on it. It steers great, oil is good, transmission fluid was just changed, and fires right up like a charm. I did have to replace the battery and the battery cable clamps due to corrosion but other than that no leaks or nothing!
My grandparents have i think its an 07 model with 340k miles on it. Paint is crap. It's got a v6. Blew a head gasket at 280k. They fixed and haven't had any trans problems.
Also my grandma does not drive slow. She accelerates hard off of most her stops lol
I bought a used 2014 doge caravan with a prnsstser engine had to buy a rebuilt transmission at 96000 miles unfortunately the check engine light came on after it started skipping and towed tit to the dealer and yes ouch $3600 the van value is around $4200
I don’t think enough people say “I was wrong and I’m sorry” - powerful words.
This makes Scott's opinions trustworthy and real.
Right!
I've always said it takes a real man or woman to say im sorry and i was Wrong ! Go scotty :)
I think too many people who say: "I was wrong and I'm sorry", are actually not the ones who should say it.
AND the video was about what was shown in thumbnail.
My parents bought an 06 grand caravan , had 120,000. 90,000 miles later van is still going. Best van for towing , gave me 310 miles before I had to fill up. Lots of trip from Minnesota to texas
Similar story here, starting to think the 06 model was a special breed.
😅 Got a 2006 Chrysler grand caravan 3.3 with 80 000Km, it's now at 220 000Km after 8years of ownership, been changing engine and transmission oil and filter and it has never let me down.
My 2022 toyota sienna gives me 600 miles till empty
My grandpa had around 320,000 miles on his dodge caravan when he got ride of it believe it or not.
That's bc he was a good man...had nothing to do with that vehicle..I bet he even tithes!
I believe it because I've seen it many times on all kinds of different Dodge caravan not so much when they first came out early 90 but any after 2000 they have been good little vans...
Kills me how he rags on Dodge and Chrysler when every single manufacturer has had great and horrible model years, strong years and weak years for quality, and longevity. For being the worst vans ever made they were the number one selling mini van in the world.
They invented minivans.
He has an East Coast mentality in foreign cars are better, truth is they are not. I have a Dodge right now with over 400k on the clock, most of my Jeeps had over 200K before I was thinking about selling them. Chrysler made good products or else the Minivans would have died out decades ago. Hmmm makes you wonder if they are so crappy why people still buy them, the fact is they are good for the price and the quality is good. The issue with the transmission was the solenoid pack that had to be replaced and afterwards it would solve the hard shifts, so again somebody who gave a biased opinion with no true information.
@@markhampton6178 It's not just Scotty saying these things, there are thousands and possibly millions of people all across America who have bought and owned Dodge and Chrysler vans and have been absolutely horrendous. Those solenoid packs are garbage. They are rated at the bottom of every list for the worst reliability, people who bought them have had numerous complaints about the build quality including engines blowing up, transmissions going out and excessive oil consumption. Meanwhile Toyota Sienna's and Honda Odyssey's are running around with 200,000-250,000 miles AND UP and they still run fine with LITTLE to NO issues! Japanese cars are outpacing domestic cars by a huge margin. There's a reason for that. The simple truth is that foreign cars especially Japanese brands, ARE in fact BETTER. The quality in those Chrysler's is absolute trash. They are not good quality cars at all. And people who keep buying them are fools.
Dodges come from the factory with the check engine light on!
Rumour has it that the bulb is optional tho.
Standard feature.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol 😆
hahaha,yep.well said.
My 1997 with a 3.3 has over 230k now. Original engine and transmission.
Thats cuz its a 1997! Long live 90s cars. The best to ever be built.
My 98 Dodge Ram 1500 has 205k with the original engine and transmission still going strong and so easy to work on and parts still easy to find and not so expensive because it made in American!
Scotty will hate you for that
2002 dodge caravan, still original owner.......
May not own a Chrysler but my 1990 Pontiac has gone 324K on original engine and trans.
Almost bought a new $4000 Yugo in the summer of 1986, but changed my mind after asking why the spare tire was under the front hood. The Yugo dealer touted the spare tire as a safety feature during a front end collision like an air bag. LOL
80’s logic 😂😂
I don't know I've seen a few of those V6 Caravans with 3 to 400,000 miles. I was amazed.
My mother in law has an 01 Town and country with over 300K and still going.
My uncle had one that made it to 350k miles and the engine blew. He bought another one for 500 bucks and its still running with 380k miles lol
lmao
I’m at 335k 😎
“Look the front cup holders still work”
Cup holders: CREEKKKKKK
I think they're supposed to ratchet like that but yeah
They arr
They weren't creeking. That's the sound of them opening and closing
Timestamp?
The creaking sound was the normal ratcheting sound from the cup-sizing mechanism.
I have a '95 T&C, 3.8 Ltd. 283k miles, still runs great
That model is from the years that Chrysler still had more quality. So sure it’s still running pretty good!
I have an 06 grand caravan it's been a great van. I've had decent luck with every chrysler I've ever owned . I maintain my cars and they work fine and last a decent time. Imagine that!
This is a car that you can use, change the oil and it will run for years.
Just don't forget to keep adding oil!
I agree. They're over engineered and if you drive them softly they don't strain at all.
@@j.r.ferrerio9940 lmao!
Good to know! My oil light came on and I was wondering if this was normal. Lol
I once saw a Yugo in Virginia with specialty tags that said 'DONTBY1' 😋
Damn bro
yugo to the shop every month
@@donoimdono2702
More like every week.
They actually suck! If you want a hatchback, you're better off with an AMC Pacer.
😂😂😂😂😂
My friend had one that lasted 300k+. I was astounded.
My dad had dodge caravan that he used for work that had 300,000 miles and he changed his oil regularly and it just kept going.
He found the unicorn!
@@jdunnatl I only found a unicorn when taking shrooms 😳
I'm on 220 000 Trouble free miles🤷🏽♂️
See this is why I love the Chrysler Dodge brand! I see these vans, same year and build all over the place as if they were just built. These vans have been around forever and to see A LOT of any vehicle still driving around today should be a good sign that’s a good vehicle.
Same I see them everywhere too
We leased a 2000 Chrysler Grand Voyager for 5 years, great vehicle for my wife getting the kids around town.
After 5 years is when those things start to break
@@astro6125 My son bought one used with low miles for cheap. Right now it's not running because the voltage regulator is out. Turns out the voltage regulator is incorporated into the ECM. WHYYYYY???
@@tubehound69 i have no clue, their engineering team must have been on crack. They're that cheap for a reason
14 yo caravan 214000 still running v6 same motor and transmission
I've had 3 Dodge Caravans over the years (always bought them used,a couple of years old) and I had very good luck with them. Never a problem with the transmission or engine. All 6 cylinders.
Rust has killed more than mechanical problems.
@@terrystroble8657 You're right about that. Thank god I live in Florida.
The last time I saw a Yugo. ...somebody had turned it into a mailbox for a apartment building!
No kidding!
You're still honest, Scotty, and those Dodge Caravans are still CRAP!
Hey, you can't rag on them too much. Family member of mine bought a 1994 20 years as a work van and it still runs and drives. Of course they're going to break if you don't fix them but for their purpose, they're fine. Much better than the Nissan Quest. He traded that '94 Caravan in at 191k last year and got a 2014 Nissan Quest, CVT died at 59k.
Hey I could LIVE in it , far from crap.
My family used to have a 2003 Dodge Caravan. We had it for nearly 10 in half years. It wasen't the best.
However the next time I plan on rasing a large family? I'm getting either Toyota Sequioa or Land Cruiser.
It's about the owner, not the car. But those *are* crap
My daughter drove one back and fourth from Detroit to Traversecity about 350 miles for 2 years when she went to college. I replaced the engine when I got it from a friend. That van ran great for a long time. It had the 6 cylinder, not the 4. My mother in law had a 4 cylinder that she drove for 8 years. After she died, it went to her daughter. Caravans drive forever.
Apology accepted and I haven’t even watched the video yet.
I almost busted a gut laughing when you said a guy put two Caddy engines in a Yugo! I remember when they hit the showrooms here and I went to look at one just out of curiosity. 🤪🤣🤣🤣
Had the exact same van (colour and everything), except in nicer condition...but with way more miles! a great van!
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and again. 😆
😂🤣😆
HAHAHAHA
Hahaha
Apology accepted 😂
apology noted, acceptance is pending
Acceptance has completed.
@@luke7542 Still pending sir.

Hey Scotty, You know what makes a Yugo go faster? A tow truck
I've had three of them, used as work vans. I'm cheap like Scotty, but once I learned to pay for a transmission service every two or three years, they stopped failing me. (Scotty, if you read this, tell me whether or not I was just lucky, or if there's something to it.)
Hey Scotty, funny fact about those mini vans are that they were taxi rides for a company I worked for, and those machine ran miles and miles up to 800,000 miles with the same motor and transmission, and that's when T.A. (Taxi Authorities) retired them. You all know how taxi drivers wrecked down any cars so they were pretty well built, the only flaws about them was the cheap gas used by the company. The company bought cheap gas and here in Las Vegas, plus heat, not a good mixer, I saw through a tiny camera those gas tank overheating, making the gas to boiled.
I’ve had 4 Chrysler vans and have had relatively few problems with mine. My Pontiac Montana van was another story.
U Never Heard ..... Poor...Old ...Nut...Thinks... Its ...A ... Cadillac. " Pontiac" /;-))) /;-))
“Go take a nap and when you wake up bring yourself back to reality” Brutal! I’m gonna use that one Scotty!!
👍🏿
My friend had a Chrysler van in high school. It was the coolest van ever back then. We took out the back seat and put pillows down, so we could sit in the back and pass the bong around
Did y’all ever have any bitches in there?
@@robertjebediahfreeman yeah, us. We were a bunch of bitches
@@SegwayBossk Lmfao 🤣🤣😂
HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY SCOTTY...!!! YOU ARE AWESOME SIR... !!!
My sister in law just turned 263000! Just got back from 400 mile day trip.
To the mountains!
"Four cylinder engine _only_ has 150 horsepower."
My how far we've come.
My dad's Rover P6 in the '70s had a 3.5 litre aluminium V8 that Rover got from Oldsmobile I think it was, & it had 125bhp and did 0-60mph in 9 seconds. We thought that was pretty cool back then.....😂 How far we have come indeed.
Originals had 101 horse 2.6 Liter
Yep in the 80s a V8 didnt make that
torque is more important than hp. Its a very low torque engine.
And here am I perfectly happy with my 1.4 litre 75 bhp junkbox 😂
I thought he was going to say, “he bought it for $2500 and put $80,000 into it...” 😂
Lmao same
Lol😂
A Dodge Grand Caravan saved my life when I went into a cornfield. It died. I lived. Dodge Grand Caravan is the best van created.
My Dodge Caravan saved... some critters that would otherwise be roadkill when I parked it in my yard and it died.
@@FLPhotoCatcher Gotta take care of your car bro
@@mcc7762 it takes special kind of box, y'know?
I got a 2008 caravan and it's been alright.. very versatile.
But I gotta disagree with Scotty on this one.. their's more Caravans still on the road than Celicas.
@@elyoj6845 Dang right. Most common minivan I've seen.
Bro, I have a 2004 Dodge caravan SE and it has 247k miles with only a broken water pump.
water pumps wear out on any car. Normal. The seal/bearing or both.
We traded in our 2005 Caravan in 2019 with 255,000 miles and still running. It also had the 2.4 4 cylinder engine--had the original transmission the entire time. Used more oil and some coolant towards the end, but it never stranded us and went everywhere.
I owned 3 of these beasts since 1996 and never broke down or suffered any major repairs as l do thank a fantastic local mechanic but that's just me Always wanna thank U Scotty for keeping it real
All you guys haven't even finished the video yet, have some decency
FINALY a Dodge Minivan i like and that scotty likes, however its still makes my head spin sense we still own a 2005 dodge grand caravan with a 3.8l V6 and it has over 200k miles and we never had to replace the transmission
a lot of them were quite reliable
@@lousmith84 so would a 2000 Dodge Caravan Se with a 3.3L V6 be reliable?
@@mctv6486 Get one. We have two of them with no major problems. Best engine choice in my opinion. Difficult to replace spark plugs, ($350) I have done it myself though, but they last 100.000 miles.
@@afisemenaborevlaka48 cool we currently have a 2005 grand caravan with a 3.8 that has over 200k miles and its still going, but i still wouldnt buy the 3.8L sense thats too Powerful for my taste
@@mctv6486 Over 200K is just great.
Self-driving technology: A profitable venture until that day the courts place all collision liability on the software company itself.
depends, as long as facebook or google or twitter own it, they are immune from the gov as they own the gov.
I knew a guy who had an older Caravan (V-6) for bulk newspaper delivery. He had like 300K on it, He told me the secret was to change the ATF regularly.
That’s any car. I think most drivers out there don’t even know you should change ATF. They’re not much better with oil changes.
@@5roundsrapid263 I think the deal was the Chryslers got a bad rap for shitty auto transmissions though.
1:44 the Fat cat reference made me laugh!🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Scotty, would have been interesting if you had used the scan tool on it, to see why the check engine light was on.
Haha, I mention the Yugo for review and you come up with this. Gotta love it.
Another great one Scotty, I always enjoy catching up on your latest videos. The bridge pictured is partly in Denmark, but it's Øresund Bridge/tunnel complex that connects Copenhagen in Denmark with Malmö in Sweden. It carries both a freeway and railway across the sound that separates the two counties. I live in Copenhagen myself. There is a tunnel in the Faroe Islands too though which is about to open as you correctly describe.
Thx again for being so honest.
Love Scotties enthusiasm 😄
You're an honorable man Scotty. Straight out the gate you let us know if you have to eat your words.
I worked at a dealer for almost 2 years.
We'd get them in on trade 200-400k
2001-2008 models.
With 6 cyl
They ran great and shifted fine.
And you gave them 200-400 dollars. Be honest now.
Thanks Scotty for your honesty and have a bless day!
LOVE our 2001 Grand Caravan 3.3L. It’s so fast it screams on the interstate. Good pickup too. It has 270,000 miles on it. We’ve drove 65,000 of those. We paid only $68 and we’ve put our own parts on it as things fail. We bought a parts car from the Post Office. Plastic radiator, fan blower, wiper squirter, keyed ignition, blend door actuator, etc. The #1 spark plug breaks every time we change them. Finally, it 20 years old so we no longer have to emission test it in NC. I’d buy these vans every time I found them, all day long. I’m obsessed
Thanks for being so honest Scotty :) You should be welcome to visit Denmark to see the tunnel if you want to :)
I’ve seen those with 350,000+. The new caravans suck (with the 3.6), but the old ones were hard to beat.
I had one with a 3.8 v6 and got 250k without any engine or transmission issues, electrical door issues but nothing else
You looked really happy doing the rest drive. Life in Tennessee is obviously good for you.
I worked at a Les Schwab Tire Center for a little while doing alignments, and one time I had to work on one of those, and every piece of the suspension, front and back was severely off of alignment. It was a pain to work on but I eventually got it fixed.
I remember my dad's 06 sxt with the magnum power doors and lift gate, the DVD player and didn't really have any problems. I miss that thing
I had a 2005 chrysler Town and Country. I bought it from my job for $300 dollars. It had 289,000 miles on ti and was not well taken care of. I lasted 2 1/2 years before I had to get rid of it. I only put a water pump on it and had the original spark plugs changed. It did use oil about a quart every 3 fillups.. When I got rid of it it had almost 400,000 miles. That is when the transmission finally was going out.
My wife had one with 200,000 when she bought it. The transmission went out at around 260,000 miles and after replacement it made it to around 300,000.
My dad bought this exact van new 2001. Its still runs well with almost 200k miles and burns just a little oil.
when my family grew I needed a bigger vehicle, I purchased a 2003 Grand Caravan, 3 trips across the country and back with a Uhaul trailer attached, I put over 150k miles on it and only had to replace the water pump, great vehicle, kept up with regular routine maintenance.
Hey Scotty! When I watch your vids at home and my daughter sees you on tv, she says "Rev up your engines!". She's 7 years old. Keep up the good work, sir.
2:06 i see a slammed rice rocket in the back lmao.
But the 3.3 v6 and the old 3.0 were good engines.... the transmissions were the worst part
I paid $750 for my Bonneville over 2 years ago and put 51K on it so far. Minimal problems and 324K miles on it now. Great deal.
I've got our second van and still going strong at 264k 05 Town and country. Had a 98 same y just traded for a newer one ! Two of the best vehicles we've owned ! 3.6 V-6 dual heat and AC and 24 MPG still ! Really well built ! Bought the first one cuz my friends Dad owns a garage in colorado said buy them cuz they NEVER need worked on and boy was he right !
The day we never saw coming, Scotty glorifying Dodge/Chrysler.
Yeah. I'm surprised by that. We had a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport with a V6. It was actually a great car. That was until the transmission died
Didn't surprise me Scotty's honest, just so happens this one hasn't had many problems, but many have!
He praises the Hellcat and 6.4L hemis
Maybe dodge sent some people to have a “talk” with him
Last time I was this early, Elio Motors said their production date is December 2019.
Quality comment
My Dodge Grand Caravan 2006 have 368000 km and it still going strong
A couple more layers on in Tenn for Scotty. I'd like to see him back in upstate NY.
I am amazed that the headliner is in such great shape on that van.
Ours is held up with tooth picks from the steakhouse.
Where is the “Live Free or Die” sign?, it had been on the top shelf in previous videos. Also noticed fewer wires plugged into that outlet on the right.
I said something about it few videos prior asking if he ever lived there in new hampshire
That's one (2002-2007 Caravan) most reliable trusty dependable minivans ever built with 3.3 or 3.8 v6. Simple maintenance will make her run over 500K. Most likely transmission fails because people never change fluid and drive like maniacs. Check wiring to transmission before blaming AT.
I had great success with 3.8 with tow package because heavy duty trans cooler. 285k and red one an 318k only failed because of user error. they were both AWD amazing in the snow...
"It has much more acceleration downhill" 🤣
and they've been going down hill for years!
😂
😂
My Dodge Caravan has been great. No issues at all.
My mom had a 2006 Dodge Caravan and when it was only 7 years old the transmission gave out when it had 80,000 miles on it, and my dad junked it 2 years later and that was the dodge my parents ever bought.
Mine is a rusty 1994 with a V6 that lived a hard life as a work van. I gave 100 bucks for it and it has 300000km on the clock. It has the original everything and not that much service either. But still it runs and shifts better than any car I ever owned. I guess they forgot to tell it that it was a crappy vehicle.
I was waiting on this video, the Caravan (V6) I have experience with has been the best vehicle of my family! Props to Mr. Scotty Kilmer for admitting he was wrong.
Afternoon Scotty! From Weymouth ma!🙏
Hello!
At my friend's garage, the 2 highest millaged cars he works on are both 3.8L caravans. Both have 300k+
My first vehicle was a 2000 caravan, we used to call it the Man Van. Boy did she have rust but that 4 cylinder was good on gas. 24 per gallon I think which was pretty good for a high schooler when gas was 3.70 a gallon and I made 7.50 an hour. Good times.
Hey scotty I've got a 2002 caravan sport with 200k on it with the v6
....yes, I want that van for the cup holder. 4:24
I had a Dodge Omni, back in the day. It was so under-powered, I was always afraid I was going to get half-way up a hill, and roll back into the guy behind me. Getting on the highway was an exhilarating experience. But I still say it was the best body design I've ever seen in a small car. I could fold down the back seat and slide a full size refrigerator/freezer into it. Just had to avoid taking the scenic route! :)
omni horizon. they were the rabbit copy. I remember those.
Miss those Dodge minivan days. Minivans are so much better than SUVs, you can practically walk around in the back. Take out the back seats, and you have a party on wheels.
I don't even work on cars, I just like watching this channel. 😊
I know many people with over 200,000 miles on their caravans
Myself and my dad dislike Chrysler vehicles for the most part. He is a master mechanic and has a Dodge Grand Caravan from the late 90s with somewhere between 300K-400k miles on it and he won't get rid of it because it just won't die and hasn't given him many problems. He uses it to haul engines, transmissions, wheels, and all kinds of other junk in the back and its got different colored doors and patches of body filler and spray paint around it and he has fixed a number of small things.
I have a 2003 Grand Caravan 3.8ltr. 230K miles. I’ve NEVER changed the trans oil,
Don’t plan on it. Shocks and struts replaced twice, same with brakes and calipers. Been through 3 new drivers and have the broken plastic bumpers to show. It’s a beach van, full of sand but keeps rockin!
I feel like this is the only dodge product Scotty wouldn’t mind buying..
He wouldn't!
U sure
Yeah, I think he'd genuinely buy it with the 4-cylinder engine, because it's cheap, semi-reliable and long lasting enough. And he is right about you not caring about it. It's like a Kia Spectra, you don't care if someone is scratching your vehicle while your in Starbucks or anything, you are less worried if someone crashes into you, and you don't care about the squeaky and bumpy ride.
@@mcc7762 Better than spending all of your life savings on a BMW X5 or Porsche 911 or what ever German money pit it is, and wasting 50 grand or more.
@@mcc7762 You just don't have any common sense, that's why YOU don't think so.
The "stow 'n' go" was an incentive.
I bought a 1997 caravan with 67k on it... I sold it with 327k . It had the 3.3l motor. Very enjoyable vehicle. No problems , just normal maintenance . Loved the van
225,000 miles out 0f my 1992 Caravan with zero problems or rust (even in Maine!)....until the head gasket blew.
BUT, it had the rare manual 5 speed transmission. 27 MPG too, carrying heavy tools for years.
Scotty is savage, praising the caravan and dissing it at the same time.😂
Damn.. I was about to put a crate engine in mine.

I grew up with these little Chrysler/Dodge vans as family cars. I love them.
I must be a rarity. I got 548,000km out of my 2002 Dodge Caravan before I parked it. It was a 3.3L Mitsubishi V6. The interior is still like new, but the body is rusting because they put salt on the roads here in Canada in the winter. Seriously, I kept up with the maintenance and it never left me stranded on the side of the road. My mechanic said he has never seen a high mileage vehicle that ran and drove like new with that many kilometres. Mind you I did not drive the piss out of it. I babied it.
