    I need some help from someone who knows something (becuase I sure don't!)

    I bought a 1989 UMC Utilimaster (Dodge Aeromate). It has a 2.5 Liter Dodge four cylinder - 2 wheel FWD Automatic. It's build on the 1989 Dodge Caravan chassis. My mechanic was removing the timing belt sprocket from the Crank Shaft when the casting broke. The sprocket has 20 teeth on it. 1989 Caravans are pretty hard to find in junk yards and those that are running (obviously) aren't selling for parts. Any suggestions on how I can find one of these parts? Any help would be greatly appreciated. My phone number is (864) 420-2271. My email is emartin@bsicapitalmanagement.com

    Thanks,

    Emmet Martin

    Any common block crank sprocket will work - they're all the same. TBI or Turbo. Just find any '89 - 93 Chrysler 4 cylinder in the junkyard, it will have the right crank sprocket.

    I think some one needs to make a clone of that bad boy and bring it to SDAC this year.

    Interesting, well turns out its a 86 2.5 tall deck, so I guess that happens, when he mentioned 89 I assumed common block,

    Some more info, lol, turns out chatting with the owner and mechanic, looks like its a 84 2.2,

    Got him fixed up,
