Recently I bought an '89 Grand Caravan with the 3.0 liter engine. I bought a manual for it the same day I bought the van, both because I knew I'd need it eventually and because I wanted to learn about the vehicle.
The only manual Auto Zone had in stock for my van was the Haynes Repair Manual for 1984 through 1995 Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyager and Chrysler Town & Country mini vans.
I am disappointed with the manual. I've not yet used it for any major procedure but I've already spotted several omissions. In chapter 1, it begins by showing pictures of the engine compartment, with the major components identified. A picture of the 2.5 liter is shown, as is the 2.6,
3.3 and 3.8. But no photo of my motor, the 3.0.I wanted to look up the oil pressure, and the engine idle speed. 3.0 liter oil pressure: "Not available". Idle speed: "Not adjustable". Great, but what would be wrong with telling me what it is supposed to be?
A much larger omission is that there is no mention of the Body Control Module (BCM) anywhere in the entire manual.
Is this as good as it gets? Would a Clymer or Chiltons manual be better?
