Hi, I am leaving in northern california and I was considering buying a used car (to use a a second commute car) around $8000 untilI found this ad for brand new 2006 PT cruisers at $13000. Of course it is $5000 more dollars but it's a new car. I do not know anything about cars and actually do not...

Any tricks in replaceing coolant in a 02 Caravan 3.3. Service manual just states open radiator and remove drain plugs. Whats best to allow air in from the top to drain the block, thermostat, heater hose ,coolant sensor ect. Thanks PS: where are the block drain plugs...

By MICHELINE MAYNARD DETROIT, Oct. 25 - DaimlerChrysler without Chrysler might not be that farfetched an idea. Executives at Chrysler's German parent on Wednesday refused to rule out the possibility that the Chrysler Group could be spun off or sold, after Chrysler announced that it lost $1.5...

Here is just one small recent example of what is being done: Gasoline prices, which doubled under Bush (thereby proving that our Middle-Eastern wars of conquest have nothing to do with oil, either), suddenly have subsided just prior to the upcoming election. How did this happen in an era of...

I been having a coolant leak on a Dodge Caravan 2005. when doing my last oil change, I found that it is coming from the water pump gasket/seal whatever it is. I have been having to replace coolant in the overflow tank about 1 time per month. Is there a "Stop Leak" for this type of problem or do...

I have an 87 1/2 Caravan with one of the very first 3.0L Mitsubishi engines. At 130K highway miles I have finally been bit by the slipping exhaust valve guide gremlin. I'm off the line like a fully loaded cement mixer but can maintain 60 MPH on the flat, more downhill when I get going! Now it's...

The AC on my '99 T & C, with rear air, after seven years of excellent service has finally developed a problem. System stopped cooling at the beginning of the summer. Took it to a non dealer service center and they evacuated and recharged. Worked fine for two months then gradually stopped...

I have a simple question: Are 2nd gear and/or reverse "hard coded" into the valve body of the transaxle meaning that "Limp Home" mode is simply the TCM saying "I give up!" and cutting all power to the solenoid pack? The reason I ask is that a few months ago I got a call to work on a '96...

I'm hoping someone has heard of this problem. Drove my '93 caravan, 3.3, 4sp auto, 200K miles through a puddle and it started misfiring. (I thought time for new wires). Next day she fired up fine and drove fine for a week. And then it rained. She died after going through a puddle. I believe the...

I have a 96 Grand Cherokee with a check engine light on. 4.0 motor. I think it has OBD I. Does any one know the key switch sequence that can tell me what sensor to check? Thanks Smitty

Hi. I need to replace the water pump in my 87 Reliant 2.5L. IS IT OK if I get a used one at the junkyard, or should I better get a new one? Is that a sensitive part? thanks

Does anyone know what other vehicles use the same power mirror control switch as a 96 RAM 1500 pickup? I think chrysler's part number is 56020218 but I am not sure. Thanks

'96 Grand Voyager, 3.8l engine... water pump appears to have sprung a leak (it's really hard to see with all the other crap in the way, but it doesn't appear to be a hose). Gonna hafta pull this thing off tomorrow morning... wondering if anyone here has done it and can offer any...

I've got a 90 Voyager that's giving me CV joint noise when I turn a tight LEFT turn. Right turn is OK. I can hear the noise but have been having trouble deciding which axle is causing it. Since a left turn gives me the noise, does that indicate it's the left axle? Dave

Our 2001 300M is sitting in the shop while we have tried to find a TCM. Factory is backordered and we bought a used one through the mail to try. Problem is it looks like it may have been wet, has red rust and white corrosion on the case, and dealer will charge $150 to install and flash it...

I have a 1991 Dodge Ram 50 automatic 2 wheel drive truck with the A500 type 42rh trany in it. It has problems shifting up after you start it (once it shifts threw all the gears it works fine) and the reverse band is bad, so i cant back up now. I am told i need to have it rebuilt and evewhere i...

I posted some time back about having blown the head gasket in my '96 Voyager 2.4. I got a couple of repair quotes but it didn't make a lot of sense to spend $400, which I didn't have anyway. So, I ordered Thermagasket from http://www.rxauto.com/. It worked like a charm (except for clogging my...

Just bought a Chry NY from a friend of mine 94K miles. The trans (A604) would not pull it out of it's tracks. I replaced the fluid and filter. It still would not pull. Deceided to check the linkage adjustment for potential problems. Cranked the car in Neutral put it in ODrive and it moved...

Hi, I purchased my -00 Chrysler 300M about two months ago and the tranny gave up almost immediately at 120 000km, so I got the transmission replaced for a new "factory rebuilt" transmission at my local transmission shop. They used Mopar ATF+4 and the transmission went through the training...
