2002 300M with Performance Handling Package. 135K miles. Not-so-loud low-pitched "clunking" noise on uneven surfaces at low speed -- e.g., when coasting (not necessarily braking) as I approach a red light or stop sign. Can't say that I've noticed the noise at higher speeds. No suspension or...

Another API commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_oNzqgtWD0 I say bring it on. Life was better back then. Didn't have to deal with all the geo-political-muslim-security **** happening today.

I hear people saying Fiat will make Dodge engines more fuel efficient and better. In my book they'll screw up Dodge and Chrysler cars if they use Fiat engines. The Hemi is one of the big marketing points Chrysler has. I am guessing that Fiat wants Dodge tech and not the other way around. Chrysler...

Hi guys, At a swap meet last weekend I picked up a neat little piece, it's a Studebaker V-8 distributor with the guts from a B/RB MoPar distributor swapped in so that I can have a fully electronic ignition. (I was actually trying to build one of these for another project last year but I got to...

Just drove my daughter to a friends house, 20 minute trip - no problems, shut off the vehicle, went to leave and check engine light is on and my tranny won't go above 2nd. I have never had any mechanical problems with this vehicle before. I am hoping it is something simple as opposed to a tranny...

this car is probably as close a survivor that I know of. I bought it from the original owner 2 months ago. the original Goodyear Vector full size spare tire is in the back, never been used. The owners manual, warranty manual, window sticker and broadcast sheet is in the glove box.

Hi Everyone, Last night I changed the trans oil and filter. I cleaned the pan and the magnet and put 4 quarts of ATF +4. Everything went well until this morning when I tried to drive the car! When I put the car in gear and try to go backwards or forward the car does not move until the RPM hits...

Awhile back, I posted regarding some probelms I was having w/ my 1996 Plymouth Voyager. It was doing poorly upon initial accelaration and when under load (very little power). It was also showing Fault Code 43. Someone suggested it may be a problem with the SMEC. I replaced the ignition coil and...

Just read Mercedes is now the brand that has seen profits plummet while the Chrysler end made 10x the profit of the Mercedes nameplate, with the hot selling Chrysler 300 etc. How times change...

When the engine is cold it is OK but at normal temperature if I let the engine idle it starts giving a loud whistle. If I rev it high it goes away. The idle RPM is between 750-800. I am pretty sure it does not come from the belts or pulleys. Any ideas what could be the problem ? TIA Paul

I took my 96 grand Cherokee in for a water pump replacement. The shop said that I also had a bad alternator. It worked fine in our -20 temps here in MN and the warning light has never come on. Do you think it could be bad? Thanks Smitty

Our 92 Chrysler Lebaron Landau 3.o l OHC built in Mexico has discontinued to register the speed or mileage. The cruise control stopped working when the speed went to 0. Bob

Chrome plating peeling off and is very sharp, in fact I cut my hand on it. The dealer wants $140.00 to replace it. Seems like an awful lot to me, any suggestions?

Is there a speed limiter?

As you all know, pickup trucks are not very popular in Europe, for a variety of reasons. You might, thus, amuse yourselves by reading this review written by a journalist in the UK Sunday Times (the leading quality Sunday paper here) after he bought a Ford Ranger. FYI Brian Appleyard is not...
