2008 Grand Caravan - upgrade possibilities?
#1
![Question](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I have an 08 Grand Caravan SXT/3.8 with pwr sliding doors and I would like to do a few upgrades but I need to know if they are even possible. Can I add a power liftgate and back-up camera? What all parts would I need? Are all the necessary wires there or are the harnesses different between the pwr and no pwr liftgate versions?
Thanks for the help!

I pulled the pilar panel off to see what was underneath (this is where all of the power liftgate hardware and module should go). The plug was not there for the module. I'm trying to get ahold of the factory wiring harness part numbers to see if there are differences in them but as it stands it looks like the power liftgate is out. I did add a factory remote start and now my remotes have the liftgate button. When I press the liftgate button, the lights flash, so it at least recognizes the button if I can ever get the module in it. As for the camera, I think the best option will be to just add one using the MyGig lockpick with an add-on camera. (http://www.coastaletech.com/MYGIG.htm)

I understand. The lift gate on the 2008 is quite heavy- heavier than the one on the Yukon that I traded in on the van! I'm trying to add as many "features" to my van as I can, but the power lift gate isn't so much a feature as it is a neccesity with kids. I do have to admit, I am gettting an upper body workout, though!

I purchased the factory remote start kit with the key fobs that also have the lift gate button on it. When you buy the remote start kit it comes with two key fobs (kit was less than $250 and was less than $200 to have dealer install it.) Now I have to see if I can add the lift gate stuff.
