Believe me I know all about the rear cooling system blowing up because it happened to me when I used to live in my van! I got it fixed then I had another cooling crisis when I was in a city I wasn't used to working in and I just made it into a truck stop and then it basically seems like the front end of my van exploded. Coolant and fumes and whatnot was pouring out of the engine in a huge plume of smoke. I pulled in and this one cool calm and collected Good Samaritan dude kind of motioned me to pull over towards him. I did then he took a look under the hood and discovered I had multiple problems. LOL he basically with very primitive tools, duct tape, and zip ties was able to MacGyver my cooling hoses, one of which had a huge bulge in it, and this big pipe thing that had come loose from its bolts, well enough so that I could make it home. He did a really great job. Absolutely zero leaks. And the van had never ran cooler. (One hose was horribly kinked and close to something hot in the engine) I did get the hoses and other things fixed the next morning. I hate cooling problems.
I finally did it thank you my friend. Now I got to find out why water isn't flowing through my radiator I don't know if it's a bad water pump or bad radiator.
Thought I blew a head gasket.what with all the coolant in the tailpipe area.......but it was the rear heater connection. Jumpered in back for now and will do your bypass in a few days. Thanks for the tip.
Yep. When you need your van to run, you need it to run. I have bypassed heater cores so many times in my life I can't can't count the times anymore. "Gotta get 'er werking for now!!!" right?
You have amazing coking skill Loxe all the Best And have a beautiful weekend, Safe Always May frens keep sharring for support friend this is jona"s My channel ok Thanks you u My dear My frens beautiful 👌👌👌👌❤️❤️🔔🔔👈
Thanks for the great video on bypass. Have to ask where and what brush guard did you find to put on the Caravan? And how bad was the install. I have a husband that runs into Deer, Small trees across the road, etc. Help
Actually I think that came off a Chevy S 10 pick up truck and I made the brackets to put it on my van… I have hit a few deer and other assorted things and it definitely saved my front end… Check out scrap yards for Chevy S 10 and Ford rangers… The old Rangers
I don’t know nothing about cars/trucks, so I found tips very helpful. Thank you for your detailed instructions. Well done👍
Thanks very much… After looking at your videos and then looking at mine… Mine look pretty boring
@@ghettovanadventures no way! I really like all your videos. You do an amazing job!
Thank you for this great video. I have the same problem in my 05 town and country and now I can fix it. 😊
Glad I could help

That was a wicked story… Yeah cooling issues are a real pain… And when you rely on your vehicle so much they hurt even more LOL

What Do you mean
Hi brother the great things is u know how to fix ur van it saves alot of money ")
Nice work Dave... did you ever even use the rear heater ?
How do you keep yourself warm at night to sleep?
What size hose is it?
If I remember right it was standard heater hose
Most likely half inch
