Hi Richard,
I've been there sooooo many times. We just completed an engine change on our sons Grand Caravan this weekend. Occaisionally as it's going back together I try to just "stand (or lay) and stare" at each component and fastener trying to determine if everything is in place. About 5 miles into the "test drive" I heard a clunk and saw a bolt bouncing down the road behind me.....Must be "spare parts" (probably a duplicate from the "new" engine/trans coupling) since everything has checked out OK.
Thanks for the update..I have shared in the "triumph and tragedy" of your experience.
