Stereo
On November 26, I took out the Alpine stereo. It wasn't able to stay on (only intermittent power), so I removed it and re-installed the factory radio.
AM/FM STEREO electronically tuned, Dynamic Noise Reduction*, bass and treble contols, cassette tape player with automatic reverse, and integral digital clock.

We Did It!
On November 22, 2008, we landed on a personal milestone. I forgot to keep an eye on it when I was driving home from work. While in park, with the van shut off, on my way out the door, I glanced and celebrated. I didn't miss the rollover.Caravan odometer = 170,000 miles!

September Maintenance (Part 2)
September 24, 2008 - My Caravan = 169,609 miles.
I drove my caravan to a Chrysler dealership on Monday (22nd). I brought it there in July to change the transmission fluid and filter. But now the transmission was bump shifting from 1st to 2nd. It turns out there was a little too much transmission fluid in it, so they leveled it out. It seems to be running all right for now.
Today, I added 1/2 quart of oil (5w-30 Valvoline MaxLife synthetic blend) to the crankcase since it was a little low.

September 22, 2008 - My Caravan = 169,525 miles.
There is a bump when the transmission shifts from 1st to 2nd. I should probably get that checked and scanned.
Maintenance work on September 17, 2008 - replaced the water pump, timing belt, and thermostat.

This site is dedicated to Beulah.
The purpose of this site is to celebrate my 1993 Dodge Caravan SE Sport Wagon. I would like to fill this blogsite with images, commentary/updates, and possibly video/audio clips.
