2,7 Engine by
bernsax
I always hear the bad things about the 2.7 and the sludge problem. (After
I bought one).
Even read stories about those who changed the oil with synthetic every
3,000 miles and they still had a ruined engine anywhere from 50,000 to
65,000 miles.
Does anyone know of a 2.7 engine that lasted...

Current automatic trannys illegally "freewheel" by
George Orwell
State laws, for good reason prohibit coasting down hills. It used to be
common for car and truck drivers to push in the clutch pedal or shift into
neutral and freewheel down hills to save on gas. Brakes overheated, lost
all their stopping power and many serious crashes resulted.
So, what do we...

2003 Caravan power steering noise by
Dll
Kind of a whining/groaning sound at all RPM's. Seemed no brainer to me that
it was the pump, so I replaced that. However, to my surprise, it had zero
effect on the problem. I've read some TSB's about the lines causing similar
problems, and that extending the return line effects "shudder" at...

Looking at the recommended maintenance schedule for our '02 300M, I
noticed that it was recommended to change the power steering fluid at
48K miles (now past on our vehicle). The service adviser at our 5-Star
dealership looked it up and said, "You're right: it is recommended, but

Set timing on an Intrepid by
Spiral_72
First, I've searched this and come up with nothing. Kinda leads me to
believe the timing is computer controlled. The Haynes manual is
useless too.
95 Intrepid 3.3L (not flex fuel), 215k miles, well maintained and in
good condition.
How can I adjust the timing on this car?

First, let me preface this by saying that this is not at all typical.
I've just been having a lot of hassles with cars lately. I've had 15
Chrysler minivans over the past dozen years, and most of them have been
delightful to own and maintain.
We have a 1999 Voyager with the 2.4L engine that...
