I have a 2005 Town and Country 376K .... Reverse in trans went 3 years ago and I did a junk yard swap.. Re did head gaskets recently. Did everything myself and it's still going strong.. Wanted to share !
I think if you get your car to a certain mileage, manufacturers should give you a new one for free. I know it happens sometimes but I’d like it to be a consistent thing. Loll
We also had a 2005 town and country. I think it got to around 250k and we sold it. Just got to be too much of a pain fixing all the time. But those vans had a lot of various little problems haha.
He should sell it and get a sienna, even if its an old one from around 2004, those can easily last 300k miles with regular oil changes, and basic maintenance
Ding, ding, ding. That is where I would start as well. Check to make sure no pins got bent. Then move on to power, grounds and any communication wires at that connector.
No need to program it the keys anti theft locked it up...my mother in law has the same van and I reset the key and bobs your uncle that baby fired right up
I was thinking same thing ,it reminded me of when I painted an old friends mothers house over 35 yrs ago gave a very low price 2 man job I had paint already anyway I paid my helper people never paid me a dime ,I went back few weeks or so later to try to get my money the husband who had a job and a few of the kids had jobs too guy tells me he's trying to keep the wolf away from.his door ?? I guess he thought I was the wolf I worked for free in cold and windy day standing on a ladder, it cost me money and never seen a penny .and I gave such low price too 180.00.dollars total .nothing back
Didn’t even take a look at the connectors on the transmission or range sensor 😂 what if he just didn’t fully seat the connector u just ran straight to the scanner
People run to computers too often instead of just being a mechanic like they used too. I’m a mechanic, but most things can be fixed without the use of that fancy scanner. Although nice, I just feel it’s too much of a luxury for some.
@@Drewski559 unfortunately that’s the day and age we live in. Everything’s computerized on these new cars, but pre 2019 I find is still relatively easy to work with. These 2022-2023’s have too many computers and sensors. They made it that way so repairing would have to be more of a dealer thing. Especially when they decide to lock obd2 ports on certain models 😂
Dude if you don’t make a shirt that says “Okay here’s the deal” I’m putting sugar in your gas tank 🤣 jk love the videos man but seriously make that shirt with like a picture of a snapped piston rod or something
That is a dodge journey and I regret ever buying a dodge journey or a dodge in general. Most common issue is electrical/sensors. If you buy a dodge be aware your dash board will show multiple lights on the cluster for things needing replaced. Worst case it will be needing a head gasket replace. My Dodge journey , a friend dodge avenger and a co worker has a dodge and all 3 of ours have a head gasket leak but doesn’t run hot. Be sure to stock up on coolant and oil 😂
You can scan them with higher end scanners like the ed snap-on he is using. You just have to register, and get authenticated to get through the secure vehicle gateway
Had a Jeep Cherokee that came with a soft set transmission connector on the PCM. Also came with the no communication code. I immediately went to the pcm and pushed the transmission connector (green) the gear select indicator came back on and it was able to start. Typical for the NGC connectors to be broken off by mechanics
Did you access autoAuth to gain entry to network with you scan tool? 2018 and new Chryslers require it to get through their secure gateway. Maybe that is why your scanner would not connect and it actually not a computer/programming problem but something simple.
Pretty bold statement. If you're going to tell someone they are that are wrong and 100% wrong at that, you should explain yourself or give reason to why you say that.
@@cody39yrsagree it was a bold statement but has some merit. This should of been a up front diag. First scan the car and if you have no com go to step 2. Check power and grounds at module then the high speed network. Most likely not a program issue. I would lean more towards power or ground. Also maybe he hooked a wire up wrong during motor swap and fried a module or 2. I just came across this channel and he seems like a great guy. He needs a little more diagnostic skills before calling modules.
Yea, I agree. He's 100% wrong. Maybe he did more, but the way he edited the video makes it seem like he relies on a computer over diag skills. He's still young.
He started the convo with "here's the deal". Stole the words right out of Matt's mouth😂

2019 and 3rd engine wtf, I love my 14 year old toyota
Same here 😊
I love my 32 yo Toyota.......though it did have a full engine rebuild 6 years ago😊
@@billsmith281 nice
I own a 2000 4Runner with 290k miles no check engine light illuminated no nothing ! Runs like new ! Lifted 5 inches on 33 inch Mickey Thompson tires!
@@SammyKurts-ku2ht nice
You got a Chrysler😂 You got a dodge 😂 You got a jeep 😂 😂😂😂😂🎉
Casually kicks his bumper back on
😂Bro!

Couldn’t agree anymore. Astounding vehicles
Down grade 15 years back. Makes no since. He obviously had problems from day one of not maintaining his van, which is why he replaced that motor.
My 2014 sienna awd blew its tranny at 110k miles
Upgrade 15 years back @@tylerjones2281
Could also be the SIM module for the key, dodge vans are weird about that. maybe something to check!
Brotherrrrr put on your seatbelt
First thing I would have done after not having communication, is make sure the transmission connector is undamaged and plugged in properly.
Ding, ding, ding. That is where I would start as well. Check to make sure no pins got bent. Then move on to power, grounds and any communication wires at that connector.
It could be something as simple as a pinched wire, or a bad ground they forgot to bolt onto the chasis, or loose, it happens
Best thing you can do with a Caravan is get rid of it lol
There is no tcm in a caravan, the ECM controls the transmission
Don’t forget to wear your seatbelt.
Drive safe out there.
Honest, Quality mechanic here, if your are in his range CALL HIM!!!
Bad Business to tell a man about his neighbor being shady. You never know what his relationship is with his neighbor 🧐
No need to program it the keys anti theft locked it up...my mother in law has the same van and I reset the key and bobs your uncle that baby fired right up
Should’ve gone and knocked on the door of the people who owe you money

Mat use ya seat belts ❤
That pcm carries the TCM. Doesn't exist

P.S if you do I want a free shirt I wear a size medium my dude 🤣

A few years ago i would see these caravans running around here in Australia, now they have all gone from the roads.
2019 models looks like a 2005 inside ^^
Just came to this video to listen to him explain each fuck up lol 😅
I had an early 2000’s caravan and put two transmissions in it.
Sometimes being sheltered will help a little bit.
May have been a harness issue since it couldn't comunicate with the TCM
Sad to hear that people will block you. Trust me, they’ll get what’s coming. There’ll be so many people they can block before it gets ugly.
Found you off tiktok
Lesson not to work on 2020 stuff. Probably never plugged in the transmission
Ahhh, chrystler..
It had reverse highlighted its the range sensor for the selector
That van was nothing but a NIGHTMARE when I owned one
Transmission neutral safety switch
Step on gas pedal five times, press brakes to the floor. Town nCountry will reset check engine.
That's because dodge is junk 😂 love.the videos my guy
Them newer dodges can only be scanned from the dealership with some stupid shit they did after a certain year
You can scan them with higher end scanners like the ed snap-on he is using. You just have to register, and get authenticated to get through the secure vehicle gateway
Sounds like he should buy a toyota
Probably did a engine and trans swap and maybe the tcm is in the
Trans ?
He should have give him at least some bucks for trying kind a sucks.
Cauld also be just didnt get something plugged back in right or at all.

What did you do about those clowns that didn't pay?
They ended up forgiving matt for what they owed him.
Seatbelt!
Did you access autoAuth to gain entry to network with you scan tool? 2018 and new Chryslers require it to get through their secure gateway. Maybe that is why your scanner would not connect and it actually not a computer/programming problem but something simple.
I remember using OBD direct on a Snap-On scanner and having limited scan tool functions on 2021 Rams, maybe worth a try as well?
SEEEEEEEEEEEEATBELLLLLLLLLLLLLT???????????????????????
Yup😂
This is why you stay away from dodge
3rd?! Smh
Which x tool scanner model is that??
Do you have an authorization to get into Chrysler automotive cars they put a security on the ecu
That's newer dodges. This should of been a easy find.
Actually you might be right. I thought that was a 2016.
Ok here’s the deal!
What state are you in??
Dude.
Wear a seatbelt.
Get rid of that junk anything with a jeep dodge Chrysler your doomed dude
Don’t buy Dodge van!!
