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...

My son-in-law recently purchased (very cheaply) a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 3.7L V6 engine. He claims it misfires when he drives it. I've helped him replace the plugs and tested the coil packs and it seem to start and idle just fine. I also cleared the OBD II codes as well (it also...

I'm curious about an apparent inconsistency in the size stamped onto the Holley main jets that came out of a Holley two-barrel 6280 feedback carb designed for the Chrysler 3.9L engine that went into the 1987 Dakota V6. The jet is stamped "175", but the hole appears slightly less than 1 mm in...

I just had the head gasket replaced in my 1998 dodge caravan 2.4l 4cyl with 52k miles. It had been leaking oil from the original non mls gasket for about a year and recently started getting worse. How long can I expect this new mls gasket to last? Will it eventually leak too?

My beloved PT Cruiser with about 90,000 miles works to perfection; almost. With the air running I experience a serious lump in the idle, perhaps once per sec, or so. With the air off, and the car in or out of gear the lump is mostly gone, at least not noticeable. Yes, it has new plugs and wires,...

Need a little help, my 2001 Concorde has difficulty starting sometimes. 3.2L V6. I get in to start it, turn the ignition and nothing, then I'll turn the ignition and it'll start right up and run fine. Sometimes it starts on the first turn, sometimes on the 3rd. Sometimes I'll turn the ignition...

Am new to Dodge family but just purchased a used 2006 Grand Caravan. The van comes with power locks and windows and I assumed when I purchased that this included keyless entry. When I took a test drive the salesman said he couldn't find the proper keys and brought the "spare" key. It was a...

My talon sometimes quits when I back up particularly on a slope. It will start right up again and drives fine for the majority. It is an automatic transmission, 2.0 litre engine, no turbo. The problem is intermittent. The electrical on this car is also very touchy. I was told that it was the...

A few weeks before my '97 intrepid is due for a NY inspection the check engine light comes on. ARGH!! I did the on-off-on-off-on ignition thing and the returned numbers we 1-2-4-3-5-5 I assume this means I have two reasons why my check engine light is on 12 and 43. True? Can anyone point me...

I guess it takes a German to help Americans learn their national anthem. Or to stir up the passions of nationalism that seem to be flagging as this jobless recovery continues. Perhaps what is needed is another invasion and the few heady months of fanatical patriotism that followed. They painted...

Tow years worth of gas 5 year/60K Full Mechanical Limited Warranty 2 Year/24K Scheduled Maintenance. http://www.chrysler.com/freedom/ I have yet to read the fine print but check for yourselves. I am still waiting for more attractive incentives (cash) before pursuing either the 300C/Charger or...

I have 2000 Chrysler LHS and would like to know how to set my second remote control for second driver?

Hmm Ask my brother that question, I tried to get him to purchase one for the used 300 he got, boy is he regreting it now. Normally it is the dealer that tries to sell it to you before the basic warranty is up and not Chrysler. I have been working for a Chrsyler dealer for about 27 years and...

This morning on the way to work I started to hear this sound... and at first I thought it may have been a squeaking belt or something... then it progressively became worse and I believe it is on the passenger side rear of the vehicle. I recently had the front wheel bearings replaced on my 98...

I have a '98 Grand Cherokee with the i6 motor, 158k miles, have loved the thing since day one. Been contemplating acquiring a newer model, but have reservations since the new motors are a V6, and the q/c issues Chrysler has. Took a Wrangler Unlimited for a test drive yesterday. This was a...

It was probably speculated here before, but here it is in black and white: http://www.businessweek.com/autos/autobeat/archives/2008/09/cerberus_seeks.html By buying the rest of Chrysler, there would be less pressure on Cerberus to offer any financial guidance to the marketplace about revenues...

I've noticed recently about an inch or so of play in the steering wheel of my '02 Stratus, with 133K on the clock. Hopefully I will be getting it in the shop soon to be checked out, but is this always a sign that the rack is going, or could it be something less extensive (and expensive), such...

Hi! Anyone have any experience towing a fairly heavy tent trailer with one of the newer model Chrysler Town and Countrys? I'm thinking of replacing our poor gas mileage Ford Explorer for one of the new '05 T&Cs. They sure look nice! Our trailer is about 2,800 lbs loaded. Specs say it can...

How do I remove the surround trim that encircles the Radio, DVD Player and Heater controls? I pulled out the ashtray, removed the small lower horizontal trim to expose the two lower screws. After removing the screws and starting to pry out the surround trim I backed off for fear that it would crack...
