I have a 2012 grand caravan, looks like the same thing you've got there. I am just about to drop my transmission and can't find any information about how to properly support the engine. It looks like I need to remove 3 out of 4 of the engine mounts, and oddly enough there aren't any hoist hooks on the top of the engine to support it. Can you share how you pulled off the transmission? Also, the passenger side axle was one of the hardest things I've ever had to remove off of anything. What did you use to get it off / put it back on?

Customer had trans replaced at dealer. 10, 000 kms later it starts making noise.
Take it to dealer, say that isnt the problem and not sure what the noise is. 180 bill and no resolution. 5 minutes. I found a crack. 5 minutes.
So now i have to fixt it.
Figure i can scooch it far enough back that i can swap it without completely removing trans?
Is a 11 joirney.
Ya, i didnt think so either.

LOL, on your little Korean comment. spent time in Korea and eventually married one. I know what you mean by over-packaging. They pride themselves on this feature. Shipped a custom embroidered winter coat to family. They used heavy cardboard box, double taped every side, and then put plastic straps with metal clamps on them. Family complained about how long it took to open.

Really? Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep couldn't design an anvil that didn't break the first time you used it. How many other manufactures have flex plates that self destruct? Here's a super simple part, that's super difficult and expensive to access and replace, that should never fail for the life of the vehicle. Yet another reason to stay away from their junk vehicles.

Saw this happen in a customer Volkswagen Routan. It was really a clunking banging noise by the time the customer drove it in. Rather than wait a week for VW to get the part, I called the local Dodge dealer who had one by the next morning. If I remember right there was a large enough inspection port in the bellhousing to be able to see that exact same crack.

So how do you know its a flex plate vs a rocker arm? I have ticking that I thought was 100% a rocker arm but after watching this video Im not sure any longer. When I heard the ticking and it was real loud from under the truck (Grand Cherokee) but also on the drivers side head. Is there a distinct difference in sound from the two?

I love your videos! Very helpfull for me to understand and do some work at home. I have a issue with my saab 9-5 from 2001. It has code p1110 and i have changed air bypass valve, all vacuum hoses and sprayed starter fluid around hoses but no effect. Throws code anyway, what would you do now?

Be careful Mr. O - Essential Oils has women going crazy now-a-days - My Mrs. keeps telling me to tell you to put lavender oil in your shop smoke machine - she said people will love it! There isn't any place where a guy can have a safe space! I love the smell of an automotive shop - gas, tires and oil. Oh my!

Pulling the transmission out in a 04 Durango due to stalling when put into gear and a loud ticking coming from the bell housing. Worst transmission job I've ever had to do. When getting the inspection cover off involves removing the motor mounts and lift engine you know it's going to be a nightmare

Any particular way to reinstall the torque converter? Just replaced a flexplate and now the motor is extremely hard to turn over. Took back apart 3 times to try and figure it out and haven't yet. Confirmed that the flexplate is installed correctly. Otherwise, stumped. Thanks in advance.
