Once in my album, click on "Caravan Stuff" and then click on the last photo DGC3.8-104K.jpg for the detail view of the rocker arm assembly. Interestingly enough, it has been about 4,000 miles since I changed the oil and as can clearly be seen in the small pool of oil in the rocker arm, the oil is still almost as clear as the day I poured it in.

Also, how effective is your "high speed spoiler" at speeds over 125 mph???
Hehe, that was just a static wind tunnel test, unfortunately it melted before I was able to get it on the road for a good quality road test. ;-)
Regarding the Mobil 1, I normally do my own oil changes and as such, I really don't know who has it available as a generally stocked oil, other than a Mobile station that is.

any other ideas or comments?

I wonder if anyone else has seen this type of phenomenon. I bought a used 02 T&C EX not too long ago. Had to replace the sway bar bushings and fix the rear liftgate lock motor (myself so it cost $80 total for everything).
I knew this stuff going into the purchase.
The strange thing I'm seeing is the van's lights (both headlight and interior) will flicker when sitting at idle. Not greatly so but you just notice it when stopped. Really weird. And I noticed that the headlights will temporarily dim when I first hit the brakes while driving (just a split second).
Seems to me like an electrical system/charging problem. Was wondering if anyone had some insight on this? I'm thinking the alternator may be starting to go (so I might switch it out myself). Any comments or ideas are greatly appreciated
I do highly suspect something with my alternator or charging system, because I am about to put my 4TH battery in it today. Both Chrysler & Sears say my charging system checks out OK, but I've never had a battery last more than 18 months (2 MOPAR Golds and now my top-of-the-line Diehard). Some of the battery cells get internal shorts and it won't charge, eventually getting to the point where you can't even jump start it.
I took it to the dealer. 600 dollars to repair. New Motor and connection cable, about 300 dollars. The rest is labor.
I am going to live with it the way it is.
Thanks for your reply.

I took it to a shop after giving up and found out what the problem was so if anybody has the same trouble ever here is what happened to me 4 wires had corroded and broke off the harness which connects to the computer but i didn't see them when i took it to the shop it took them a day to figure out the problem and fix it so if you ever get the same simptoms like in my earlier posts then check your wire harnesses
spent 250.00 on parts i didn't need and all it was was 4 wires
which corroded and broke off the harness hopfully this will help sombody in the future.
I noticed an almost imperceptable vibration from the rear at 50-55 MPH (It goes away above 60MPH). I had my dealer check the tires for broken belts, balance, etc. The verdict is the tires are OK, but I need a new drive (propeller) shaft at about $750. I'm told there is no repair of the shaft and that the problem is most likely a bad CV joint which is part of the shaft. Has anybody heard of this, or have a cheaper fix?

You can find great deals on these vans but I'm wishing I would have held out for a Toyota Sienna.
Any idea what could be causing this problem to get fixed and then reoccur a few days later? It's driving me nuts! Thanks.
2 other points, 1 failure symptom usually begins with clicking during turns and the early symptoms can be ignored for a long time before the joint completely fails. Roy

A few questions:
How old is the belt?
Does it happen in the summer when it rains?
Has the Voyager been in an accident?
Have any of the components actuated by the belt ever been replaced? (i.e. A/C compressor, Alternator...)
Have you had your mechanic check the alignment of all of the pulleys?
Best Regards,

I did replace the belt once myself as it was beginning to chirp, so I know there is a guard down below. If I recall it is held on by one or two bolts and also clips to the lower air dam, but it has been a couple years since I partially removed it to access the serpentine belt.
I checked all the fuses under the hood as OK, so I'm assuming it is a bulb that channels the light to all these indicators. Does anybody know where this bulb is located or if there is another fuse loaction for it? The manual mentions a replacement lamp type for the dashboard lights, but gives you no clue where it is.
Thanks!
There is a website with the recall described.
