I took my Concorde to a front end specialist today after discovering a badly worn and loose inner tie-rod end on the left side which appears to have been the source of the "clunk" I kept on hearing under certain conditions. The mechanic told me that this is a frequent failure in this car and...

Hello Chrysler Enthusiasts! I have a couple of '81 Imperials that I would like to have restored (one was in a minor accident), and possibly have "worked" (turned into a muscle car with high performance breaks, etc.). Does anyone know of good/reputable places on Long Island for this? I live in...

I've got a 1990 Dodge Grand Caravan with a 3.3L V6 engine. It has approximately 130,000 miles on it. There is a rattling noise coming from the engine, that appears to only happen at idle. Interestingly enough, the noise doesn't appear to happen when the car is very cold (ie <30=B0F or so) but...

Recently my son inherited an '02 Dakota with only 15K km from my late uncle. Nice truck - my son especially likes the CD player ;-) However, with 255/65R16 tires it is troublesome in winter snow. To deal with this problem I will install winter only tires. My past experience on the Canadian prairie...

Well now I do want to know because that damn thing has a mind of its own and goes off about...

Hello, I have been noticing lately what sounds like a loose lifter. My gas mileage is terrible. I was going to try to tighten it tomorrow, is there anything I should know before I try it ? It's a 89 Daytona ES, turbo, 2.5 l, standard. I have never done this before, is it a big job ? I have...

How hard is it to replace the thermostat on a 98 Voyager with the 3.0 liter Mitsubishi V6? We've had some really cold weather on the east coast the past few days and I noticed that the temperature gauge in my wife's Vger is only going up 1/4 the way, even on the highway. In the summer, the...

I've got a parts car I'm putting on e-Bay. Can anyone recommend a site that can help me ID the model year and decode the VIN? Bernie

Someone ripped off my name and put it on the reply to my first email. They made their reply look like it came from my email box! I didn't write the reply that is so disgusting and I don't know who did. S.L.P.

I have a '99 Voyager that is exhibiting some odd behavior. While driving, the instrument cluster will all of a sudden quit working. No speedometer, no tach, no engine temp, no fuel gauge, no digital readout for odometer or for gearshift. When this occurs, I also lose control of the rear...
