If the water pump and upper/lower rad hoses are replaced on the 3.5L engine in a 300m, how much coolant would still be left in the engine? Would there be enough to warrant the extra cost of a "coolant flush" prior to putting new coolant in the engine? Also, do I need to make any special request...

I'm confused about the service manual's explanation of how to remove the water pump pulley and water pump from my 2006 Caravan. The manual states "NOTE: To remove the water pump pulley, it MUST first be positioned between water pump housing and drive hub. The pulley can then be removed with the...

Just saw this story being reported on my 11 pm news. Looked it up on the net (see below). These cars seem to have a push-button ignition, but probably you still have to have the right key-fob close enough to the car to disable the theft system and unlock the doors. It appears that these cars can...

Couldn't find the straight weight 10W here in FL, so had to put this in. Will it be alright? Won't damage the converter or the seals? Seems to drive OK, just wondering. Thanks

HI gang I have hung around a long TIME and have enjoyed the banter and info. But now I must ask for some help with a car problem. A 2004 chrysler crossfire of my nephew, he CAN no longer can afford this car and its repairs so it has fallen to me to fix it for him.Complete brake over haul and front...

I have a pristine 1991 New Yorker 5th Avenue, and it has had the #685 recall done twice! Now, the brake pedal is going to the floor(new calipers, pads, rotors a month ago). Do you think that Chrysler is going to honor the recall "lifetime" replacement? This car is beautiful, gets 22-25mgp...

I've owned my purchased new 2010 PT Cruiser for a little over 3 years and 25,000 miles. Over this time frame I've had: both front wheel bearings replaced under warranty at 20,000 miles, it burns about a half quart of oil every 1,500 miles, the parking brake shoes on one side failed to...

'02 300M. ~130K miles. My wife is telling me, insistently and forcefully, that there is a high-pitched sound that is driving her crazy every time I apply the brakes -- and (often but not always) even when I keep my foot on the brake pedal after the car has stopped. I cannot hear it at...

This past Monday, I was hit by another driver that ran a red-light talking on his cell-phone. I really hit my car bad, so I only had no-fault on my 11 year old GM Cavlier, so I now need a newer car to drive. I would like to hear opions of the group of a good used car that I could buy, for a...

After five burst tyres apparently caused by the weight of the vehicle I've had a succession of power failures on my 18 month old 2.8 diesel Chrysler. It's broken down perhaps ten times in two months. Worst of all today, the power died on me when I was driving at 70mph with a car full of kids,...

I have read there is a TSB (08-36-99) on this problem that I have been experiencing lately. I have purchased the wire terminal/vent p/n 05017800AA mentioned in the TSB and I want to install it myself. I would like to know the location of the oil pressure switch on the 2.7L engine. I have looked...

I have had to be towed twice recently due to engine overheating. The first time, the dealer replaced the thermostat. The second time, they could not identify the problem. No loss of coolant, and thermostat fine. They suggested the problem is likely the internal head gasket ($800 job). Problem...

I’m trying to replace a right rear door actuator (electric latch/ lock). The factory service manual calls for the removal of this channel but apparently assumes the user has done it before. I’ve got the actuator disconnected from its linkage, unscrewed from the door, but the channel is in the way....

Hello all! I just bought a 1998 Intrepid. It has the 3.2l v6. I have a few questions about it that I'm hoping someone here can help me with. For the most part, it looks and drives great, but I do need to do pads & rotors all the way around. It might need new tires too, but we'll see later. The...

I had been night driving about 30 minutes when I looked down and noticed the temp gauge had red-lined all the way to the top, without me even noticing it. It couldn't have been more than two minutes till it had topped out. Then the check engine light came on. I was driving in an area where I didn't...

Chrysler’s August Sales Down 34% http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/chryslers-august-sales-down-34/ Chrysler LLC’s first month without car leasing went just fine, thank you. Okay, maybe not. The beleaguered automaker’s sales are down 34% last month and 24% for the year, with the second number...

September 19, 2008 - 1:11 pm ET DETROIT -- In mid-August, members of Chrysler LLC's dealer council got a big surprise when the company let them drive an electric vehicle that could compete with Chevrolet's Volt hybrid. On Tuesday, Sept. 23, the entire dealer body may get to see that car as part...

Does anyone have the details of the TSB regarding oil leaks for this 2.4L 4cyl. Chrysler engine? My friends 1997 Plymouth Voyager with a 2.4L enhine with only 42K miles has developed a serious oil leak. Leak seems to be from the cyl. head area?
