2000 (MM) was a leap year that started on Saturday of the Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. 2000 was also the first century leap year since 1600. 2000 was designated as: 2000 is also the first year of the 2000s decade. Popular culture holds the year 2000 as the first year of the 21st century and the 3rd millennium. According to the Gregorian Calendar this distinction falls to the year 2001, because the first century was retroactively said to start with year AD 1. The calendar has no year zero, so it can be said that the first millennium spanned years 1 to 1000 inclusive. However, since this was decided at a much later date it's difficult to assign any significance. The next millennium then stretched from 1001 to 2000 (see more at: millennium). Mathematically, 2000 is the last year of the 20th century and the 2nd millenium. The year 2000 was the subject of Y2K concerns: fears that computers would not shift from 1999 to 2000 correctly. However, by the end of 1999, many companies had already converted to new, or upgraded their existing, software. Some even obtained Y2K certification. In the actual event, relatively few problems occurred. From Wikipedia under the

Q. Every time I drive in the rain, my S-belt keeps on slipping out. I always have to put it back on, so I got a new S-belt and it still slips out whenever I drive in the rain. Does that mean that I have to change the belt tensioner and is it easy to do for a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan? Any advice will help. Thank you in advance.

Yes change the belt tensioner before you junk another belt...easy job, take the bolt out of the center of the tensioner,should come off at this time, align peg of new tensioner with hole, replace bolt, put breaker bar or ratchet in square hole and put the new belt on... if you need parts go to www.partsamerica.com Answered by gravel128 - Thu Dec 27 10:25:26 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "2000"
