Okay, our Dodge Caravan 1998 3l 2 wd was running perfectly until a week ago. We were on the highway and all of the sudden, we lost power and it would not restart. We gotit towed home. Since then, we have replaced the distributor, fuel filter, rotor, relays, coil, and crankshaftposition sensor. We are now thinking maybe it was the timing belt or camshaft sensor. We are really needing help.

Hi! As a first course of action the timing belt should be checked first for if its broken it will create more damage to the engine specially when cranked. I strongly suggest that you have a PCM (powertrain control module) checked. The PCM has connectivity on all electrical current that runs inside the car including the engine and transmission. Theres a big possibility that the PCM is damaged thats why the car fails to run. Hope this helps and have a good one!

About 5 weeks ago after filling with diesel fuel the truck would not start. After about 15 minutes it finally started. It continued to run perfectly for the next 5 weeks until 2 days ago when it dropped...

Did you empty diesel out and just refill if so then you made a mistake which could have damaged fuel pumps

Diesels are suppose to be bled after refilling if have been run totally dry.

My 2000 dodge caravan 3 L - the rear wheels are stuck

Try to shoot some WD-40 into the sheath that the cables slide in. Shoot it where the sheath ends at the back of the hub. Then work the cables by applying and releasing the brake. If they don't release, try pulling and working the sheath at the hub while adding more WD-40.
