I replaced my fuel filter several months ago on a 99 Plymouth Voyager with 4 cylinder engine. This van has 200,000 miles on it. This was a pre-emptive replacement done as preventive maintenance; the van was not suffering from a bad filter at the time. When I changed the filter I was surprised to...

I am having a problem with a newly installed (by the local Dodge dealership) ECM. I think the voltage regulation is faulty. I have "overcharged" two brand new batteries in the last month. I think the alternator is giving the battery too much juice. I have had issues starting the truck after...

Dealer said to flush the brake fluid. It is not mentioned in the Service Schedule , does it really need to be done. And if yes, de we use Mopar Fluid ? Thanks

I have a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan SE with about 68000 miles. I am planning on about a 2000+ mile trip from MN to CO and back and wondering if I should take it in to a shop to have the brakes checked? I bought it used at about 58000 miles and don't know what, if anything, was done to the brakes...

I have a major oil leak. It is not the pan gasket. It was suggested that it was the crank seal. How do I fix this and how much would it cost? I try to do work on my car myself to keep cost down. -- sbplayer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sbplayer's...

Just wondering if anyone recently has had their transmission cooling hose clamps replaced. I brought my 1999 Caravan (3.0 L engine with 4 speed trans) with 95,000 miles in to have the Clockspring replaced, and the dealership - Roseville Chrysler Jeep (MI) - found another problem with my van -...

Can someone that has access to Chrysler technical service bulletins please post #19-34-98? I believe it is dated 11/27/1998. I found this while searching Yahoo Groups. It may contain the solution to a long running problem. Thanks.

My sis was rear ended a few weeks ago in her new Honda Accord. Nationwide Ins had her go to one of their approved shops and they valued the damage around $14,000. She got an attorney who had the car moved to an independent 3rd party shop and they valed the damage at close to $18,000. They...

I'd like to replace the serpentine belt on my 2000 300M. Any special tools required ? Kind of tight in there between the radiator and the front of the engine. How do you release the tensioner ? All I can see from the top are mounting bolts. Steve

1997 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.8 liter V-6 engine. While wife was driving it, became very sluggish, unresponsive. She thought she had a flat tire so pulled off the road. As she was pulling off the road the oil light came on. After verifying no flat tire, she started the vehicle and it ran normally. We...

Whenever I use my heater, after a few minutes when it warms up the smell of coolant comes out the vents. The odor is also detectable outside of the car! Help! 1997 Intrepid 3.5L

If this is not the correct forum to ask this question, please suggest a better one. Thanks! I just bought a (pre-owned) 2006 Chrysler 300 Touring. A strange (I think) thing is happening: When I lock the car, the security system is armed (that's normal). When I unlock the car using the key in the...

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...

To illustrate the reason for my question below, I have learned that the A/C compressor on an 82-86 Capri, 82-93 Mustang, 84-86 LTD, 85 Marquis, 85-88 Cougar and 85-88 Thunderbird are all interchangeable. Is there a book or manual (either in print, online or on CD-ROM) that lists interchangeable...

I test drove one and loved it but it had no owners manual and the "L" shaped series of buttons in the center of the dash kept blinking. I think they were the buttons for the rear wiper and washer etc. Whatever buttons are just to the left and below the sliding dual temperature indicators. ...

I've had a 1998 Voyager, about 140k miles, for a little over a year. We occasionally lose all the displays on the dashboard (i.e., speedometer, odometer, fuel gauge, temperature gauge, etc.) and the "service Engine Soon" and "ABS" lights would come on. To begin with this would not happen...

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...

Thanks for helping out here. My daughter has a 1998 Chrysler Cirrus and the right rear brake is dragging. I go for 4mile drive around town and get home and it is too hot to touch. I lick my finger and touch brake drum and it sizzles - so well beyond 100c. Driver side is just comfortably warm and I...

My wife brought her 99 voyager in to mechanic and he told her it needed new swaybar links. I stopped by and told him he did them in December of 05. 16mos ago. He said one was bent and the other one was gone. My wife stoped by to pick up the car and it wasn't ready. The kid told her he could do...
