how to change time chain on a 3.3 v6 dodge caravan, easy way to look at timeing chain, so i can tell if it is bad
This design has no tensioner. Check the sprockets for wear on the tips--especially the crank sprocket. With the cover off, turn the crankshaft with a socket and see how close the chain comes to slipping backward on the sprocket. There are complete replacement procedures at AutoZone.com, which I will try to paste in below.

need a diagram for the serpentine belt on a 88 ford taurus
I need a diagram for a 1993 dodge grand caravan serpentine belt
The belt routing diagram is located on the top radiator cross member by the hood latch. You should see it when you open the hood. If it is not there, all Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth minivans, from 1993 to at least 1999, used the same 3.3L engine setup, so find someone with one and look for the diagram where I described.

LOOKING FOR A DIAGRAM FOR 1993 DODGE 3.3
Look on the top radiator cross member by the hood latch- the belt routing diagram should be there. If not, the same engine and accessory configuration was used on all Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth minivans through, at least, l999. If you can find any of those with the 3.3liter engine, the diagram should be located where I said. Good luck

my temperature gauge keeps going up and down when i drive it goes hotter specifically when we go past 60, is the thermostat sticking if so should i keep driving
pull off the hose at the top of the motor, if you can see the thermostat try pushing on the center with a screwdriver, it is most likely stuck open. You may be able to free it by pushing the center back and forth till there is no longer any resitance, but it needs to be replaced. As for the temp sensor, if it is bad the guage will flicker, representing a bad connection. If the gauge just rises and falls by pattern the sensor and wiring is probably fine.

i have a dodge caravan that has the ABS and the BRAKE light on the pedal is rally hard but it goes away once in a while for like a day and all over again
Dodge used an ABS system for 2 years that didn't have a vacuum booster. Instead it used ABS pressure from the pump motor for the power brakes. This is the system you have. The ABS pump is mounted on top of the transmission. Is the pump running when the pedal is hard to push? Sometimes the pressure sensor in the ABS module will go bad and the pump won't run. You will get a hard pedal and the ABS light and the BRAKE lights will be on. The code in the ABS control module will be LOW BRAKE ACCUMULATOR PRESSURE.

what does it mean when the check gauges light comes on
The "Check Gauges" light means pretty much what it says. When this light comes on, it is because one of your gauges is not operating within the "NORMAL" range. You need to look at all of your gauges to see what is going on. It could be low fuel, low oil pressure, high temperature, low battery voltage, or whatever else your instrument cluster may be equipped with for gauges.
Most people do not pay a lot of attention to their gauges because bad things rarely happen. This light is designed to get your attention and MAKE you look at your gauges because the computer system has determined that SOMETHING is not right with them.

hood will not open due to the release lever on the inside on a 1993 dodge caravan tried pulling the cable but it still will not release the hood
Problem could be the other end of cable came loose from hood release latch under hood. You need to look through the grill closely and see if it did. I have had a few dodge caravans that this has happend to.
