After normal servicing on the fuel rail on my 1992 dodge dynasty 3.3lv6, the non-replaceable seals in the crossover tube at the end of the fuel rail began leaking. This is the same leak fixed in recall campaign 00v268000 for the dodge caravan 3.3l v6, however my local dealership could not provide me with the seals that are used to repair this leak.
Serpentine belt comes off when splashed by water on road, causing failure of power steering, alternator and water pump. This failure was routine whenever the vehicle was driven through pooled water exceeding 1/2 inch. The upper alternator bracket was found to have suffered fatigue cracks and the alternator mounting bolt was not held rigid. Splashed water causes the belt to slip-catch thus displacing the position of the alternator pulley, and the belt is thrown off the pulleys.
