On all Gen 3 Dodge Mini vans (if anyone cares) the issue is the same. At 80-100 K the filters stop flowing and BURN up the pumps. A $27 reservoir and a few hose clamps you will be MUCH happier. Follow Ricky Bobby's tip on snipping off 1/2 inch of hose BEFORE reattaching as the old hose will NOT compress no matter how much force is applied by the clamp. (Ask me how I know....)
