Dodge Grand Caravan


The 2008 Dodge Caravan belongs to the fifth-generation Grand Caravan (RT), built for model years 2008–2020. It is the first model year of this generation: the platform, wiring and many procedures changed compared with the previous model, so a manual for an earlier year will not match it.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2008 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “8”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 18 years old, a 2008 vehicle is in the age range where wiring, rubber hoses, seals and corrosion repairs take most of the work, and where original factory information is hardest to find.
