Great video this is the exact model van I'm working on. It's our family vehicle. I appreciate the visual arrows used throughout the video they are a big help.thanks
Mike, Great Video! A lot of work too! In My Humble Opinion, I personally would never leave the old hoses on the car. After going through ALL of THIS WORK to gain access, I would DEFINITELY REPLACE ALL OF THE HOSES. ;-) Regards, Jack
I did this job today and i didnt take off the tire , the engine mount , or the windshield wiper box . What i did was remove the brackets holding the 2 pipes together then i put them both in separately through the bottom actually pretty easily. After they were in there i put the brackets back on the pipes and screwed them in .
Also i didnt need to take out the air box or unscrew the throttle cable . and to get the old one out i just bent it so i could pull it right out of the top .
+Melissa Garcia Thank you for the feedback. There are many ways to remove and install these types of parts. We are glad to hear your replacement went smooth and easy.
For some folks, these original tubes have the bracket tack welded to the two tubes. For my removal, I also didn't take off the stuff listed here. To remove easily, I cut off as much of the length of the tubes at the bottom as far up as possible. Then pulled them out together easily. Installed new ones as listed here one at a time..

If you just take 20 mins and remove the wiper motor box assy you don't have to mess with lowering the engine. Makes it real easy to remove and replace the tubes.
great demonstration! Would like to see the lower intake gasket replacement on the 3.3 & 3.8 that commonly leaks towards the front of the vehicle near the ignition coil. also the soft aluminum rear ac lines corrode and leak underneath near the rear of vehicle. thought id ask! thanks

Looks like yours were replaced at some point already. Your old ones are a newer part number. My 2007 came with crimped hoses from factor and it was a nightmare. Also how is there so much space down below? My bottom hoses are pinned behind the exhaust and ac lines 😭
My 05 dgc sxt 3.8 v6 is leaking at the coupling/reducer hose connections... I hope I can find another c/r without replacing the whole assy....big headache as you display... I hit a deer a few weeks ago so I had to replace radiator and a.c. condenser and both cooling fans... I got them in so after that noticed antifreeze smell and been having to add coolant to the overflow jug every other day... so tonight it was smoking and I could see the coupling/reducer pieces leaking.. I think it between the core hose and the coupler... the other end reducer connecting to assy is ok. BUT I have NOT noticed the fans coming on ?
bsdguy - that was probably done to allow access to part of the engine mount. Removing the wiper box makes the job less difficult than the method shown.
My vehicle is an 2005 Chrysler T & C Limited with stow and go but your product seems to be for no stow and go, will this work or is there another part I need?
The inlet tube was too hard to put in housing but friend got it in now it's leaking where it goes in the housing unit could it be bent or does it need a gasket or something
Good place afterward for a GoJo commercial . Nasty as my daughters. Lol I clean up the oil n dirt on parts and spaces prior to reinstalling parts. ( not getting paid anyway its family struggling). Nice job Buddy .
Thanks for the video. Time to trade off my caravan. To difficult of job for me and I am sure the cost to repair at a service center is at the least three-quarters of the van's worth.
equallywrong - the job is far easier if you remove the wiper box, see my comment about how. I've seen this job quoted between $250 and $500 including the part. If that's 3/4 of your van's worth it must be in very poor condition, but if you are taking it to a mechanic for everything then there comes a point when it's less expensive to pay $500 or $600/month for a new minivan. (Including taxes, and insurance). If you have an AWD, the only choice is the Toyota Sienna AWD at around $45K+taxes,insurance, etc. which is $750/mo for 60 months plus tax and insurance. For me this is a
Hey Mike, I could really use your help bud, well I have a 95 Honda Accord V6 just like the one in your Videos and I wanna do a Timing belt and Water pump Replacement but there's literally NO vids on UA-cam that go over this procedure on this Specific model car. I was Wondering if you could Please do a Tutorial video of sorts on how to do this Repair?? I'd really Appreciate it and would make my life A lot Easier. Thank You Sir.
OK, so the passenger side inner wheel wheel is removed. I don't see, in the subsequent process where this provided access to anything crucial to the process. Did I miss something? Time stamp?
Looks like you would have had more room if you had taken the wind shield wiper cowl off. And why did you have to take the front wheel and inner fender wells off?
Unfortunately we do not have a video for your application. We will keep this repair in mind for future videos. Thank you for watching! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
i have a 1996 dodge caravan and whenever i run my defroster water starts to drip/pour underneath the dash onmy passenger side and i also start to hear a muffling sound as if water is hitting a plastic bag, lol what do you think is my problem? does this mean i need a new heater core? i do get heat and cold air so it works but it seems to me its leaking or something. i need help.
if this doesn't happen with vent or floor heat, but ONLY with defrost, it CAN NOT be the heater core. It's likely the water off the evaporator of the AC. Many cars automatically turn on the AC when you turn on defrost, even if the air coming out is warm. This removes humidity from incoming air and makes defrost work better. Often times, in the winter, the drain tube for the AC evaporator gets clogged and the water that drips off it CAN'T drain onto the ground. Since you posted this 8 mo ago, you prob already fixed it, but let me know if you need more help, and I'll tell you what to do. Good Luck
OK, it's Dorman 626-301. I figured out if you scroll over the "i" in the upper right hand corner, you will see the part and it's a link to the 1A Auto site.

*** NOTE *** if no money and just trying to keep van going due to leaking pipe or rear hoses, just take front motor heater hose off and bypass to rear motor inlet (remove rear hose first of course) - heater wont work anymore, but it's a free fix, and only takes 5 minutes. No need to do anything else. Save up for part and do later....
1A Auto Parts honestly that's the one because of under the van the piece is rusted out and hits also screwed two the part up under the hood what are you took your first screw a loose and it runs up under the van

Excellent video!
Is it possible to just change the top hose? I see metal tube that crimps around it.
any idea what the size of the rubber hose is?
Thanks for the tips

Yes it did that video was very helpful
You can also remove the wiper tray for much more room
Great Video. Not sure why you removed the front tire and inside wheel housing covers.
bsdguy - that was probably done to allow access to part of the engine mount. Removing the wiper box makes the job less difficult than the method shown.
For ease of manuvering the other ends of tube assembly and increase visibility. I suspect!?

Antifreeze is leaking from where the two tubes go up into the floorboards with a rear heater core would be

why does this not have the heater control valve. 2001 dodge caravan for example requires one to be installed for rear heat.
do you have a how to video of replacing the heater core for the year and make of my caravan?

my throttle cable are right over the rubber hoses
