Chrysler Grand Caravan Service Repair Workshop Manual PDF
VEHICLE/EQUIPMENT INTRODUCTION:
The Chrysler Grand Caravan represents the long-wheelbase variant of Chrysler minivan family that created and dominated the minivan segment for over two decades. The 2003 through 2007 model years belong to the fourth generation RS platform that Chrysler refined substantially from the revolutionary 1984 original concept. The Grand Caravan designation specifically denotes the extended-wheelbase body offering increased cargo volume and third-row seat accommodation compared to the standard Caravan.
The fourth generation Grand Caravan offers multiple powertrain configurations including the 3.3-liter and 3.8-liter V6 engines from the EGA family alongside the more premium 4.0-liter V6 in later model years. These pushrod overhead valve V6 engines are characterized by their compact dimensions, simplicity of maintenance, and proven reliability over high mileage accumulation. The 3.3 liter V6 produces approximately 180 horsepower while the 3.8 liter variant delivers near 215 horsepower both mated to a four-speed automatic transmission with Autostick manual-shift capability on certain trim levels.
The RS platform features the signature Stow n Go seating system on certain trim levels, front-wheel drive architecture with optional all-wheel drive from 2005 onward, independent front suspension with MacPherson struts, and a twist-beam rear axle for the front-wheel drive models. These vehicles were engineered for family transportation duty with emphasis on interior space utilization, ride comfort, and daily-use convenience features.
