I need to change ours as it's seeping, and we're traveling before Christmas, how much of a job is this?

I did one years ago on a 3.3 Dynasty, don't recall it being too hard. Is there much difference from a Dyn. to Caravan?

Just use caution in removing those 6x1.0 bolts as I have seen those electosize themselves and break off without much effort.

I'll bet you didn't make the same amount on a 3.0!

Remove the passenger side tire and inner fender and it is right there. I didn't have any problem with the bolts, but coated the thread with anti-seize when I put in the new pump.
My water pump went out all at once. One minute I am driving along just fine, the next the bearing went out and threw the serpentine belt off.

Well, the tensioner had to be changed also, it was about toast.

Went pretty well actually.
